Win Hou Chinese Restaurant

Win Hou. Been a while but man, did they have some tasty Lo-​Mein!
I’ve passed it and it just looks so run down… Chinese places though aren’t exactly the taj— I mean, I don’t think there’s a place called taj but I’m probably wrong–
I got off track I know, I just don’t care too greatly about win hou…
Eh

My go to Chinese delivery. GenralTso chk. Is a awesome find, and they will make things like bock choy with garlic sauce, anything, just ask. Great people and good food. Fast and friendly delivery

Best Chinese food we have had in ages. Not greasy at all. Clean and convenient.
We got two seafood dishes. Both very tasty and fresh

This is my favorite place to order Chinese food from. My go to’s are pork fried dumplings, chicken and broccoli, and lo mein. The prices are great and the food is delicious.

People complain that this food is bland but i rather eat from here than eat the extremely Msg greasy sodium filled chinese from other establishments.
As far as the best dishes to get from here:
Chicken fried rice and in general their fried rice beats any from any chinese take out that ive been to since they add fresh bean sprout onion and actually recognizable pieces of chicken breast.
Best dish to combine this with is the boneless spare ribs which is in my opinion their best meat dish and beats boneless spare ribs from sooooo many places in the sense that it is so much more meatier less fat and resembles real pork.
If u are a little health concious ditch the greasy other salty chinese and dine and order from here

Not very good food. Extra spicy has no meaning.
And when I ask for chopsticks, I actually want chopsticks.
Never again.

Decent Chinese takeout place in a busy shopping center. I have been coming here for a few years now, and I haven’t been disappointed. Not the greatest food, but still very good. Prices are semi-​cheap. I love their lo mein with assorted vegetables, since there is such a huge selection in the noodles. Plus they have baby corn which I love. Great wonton soup. The chicken with snow peas was quite good. Pretty successful Chinese takeout spot, I would say.

Although the prices were good, I will never eat here again. They were suuuuuper slow and when I mentioned that 3 people behind me got their food first the manager was extremely rude. When I finally did get to eat my food I found that it was bland. Definitely have had better Chinese food.

I ordered from this place for the first time based on the reviews and yes the food was good. But the sweet n sour chicken was not your normal sweet and sour chicken. I’ve had way better sweet sauce I don’t know where they went wrong but it was all wrong. Other than that everything else was pretty good and they delivered all the way to the hospital. I was very impressed with that. Only reason why they get only three stars because they messed up on my favorite dish.

Really Good Chinese Food!

I would give ZERO stars if I could — I ordered food with no onions because im deathly allergic, but it came with tons of scallions — when I called and informed them of the error, they actually argued that scallions are not onions rather than offering to correct the order. The person was extremely nasty on the phone and actually hung up on me. I tasted someone else’s food and it was bland. Go ANYWHERE except this dump.

I’ve grown very fond of this small Chinese take out place over the years, living close by. Though I have had better Chinese cuisine, their dishes are consistantly tasty, the portions standard to most small Chinese restaurants, and the staff friendly. Their delivery time is also rather speedy. They’ve made it to my house about a mile away with dinner for 3 in roughly 15 minutes a few times, and it’s extremely rare that I have to wait more than 25. They have some of the better sesame chicken in the area, and their chicken teriyaki is also quite tasty, though it can be a bit watery sometimes. Even though there are 5 – 6 places I can order Chinese food from in the area, Win Hou is and most likely will stay my first choice.

This is my favorite Chinese takeout place near my workplace. Often, my coworkers would order from this place collectively and ask Win Hou to deliver it. Unfortunately, this drives up my costs since I pay between $ 6.50-$ 7 including tip to get a meal. Judging from the name of this place, I guess Chinese people haven’t thought about how this name affects non-​Chinese people’s perceptions. The words take a improper spin when the words «Win Hou» becomes «Win Ho» and people laugh until no end. Actually, the takeout name means «forever good.»
I used to go there myself and order and pick it up myself using a credit card. The lunch specials are not a bad deal at all from 11:30am to 3:30pm starting at $ 4.25. Each special comes with either soup or soda, white or fried rice. I always order hot and sour soup with fried rice, because fried rice has pork in it. Actually, with this takeout place, my coworkers always order according to their own personal taste and Win Hou would not charge for requests such as to make it extra spicy, extra sauce, omit certain items in the meal, or to substitute one thing for another.
One thing Win Hou does lack in is customer service skills and their ability to handle high volume calls. It appears that this is a family or tight-​knit business and they do not speak Cantonese. On the take out menu, they have two phone numbers to serve customers, but most of the time, I am better off calling the first number on there as there is only ONE person taking both phone lines anyway and the second line might not even be picked up. Every time I’m there, the same lady is juggling all the phone calls on multiple lines and she can’t even write fast enough to take care of them all. Obviously, those who show up at the place must patiently wait until she is done with the phones in order to be helped. Everybody has a hectic job there and there is no room to help another out because the orders are coming in like crazy during lunch time, although sparingly, the girl packing orders can take a phone call or two and the cashier/​phone lady can afford to help pack and order on her spare time. There are two cooks constantly cooking and one delivery man. It’s a mystery to me, but it’s probably because this is the only Chinese takeout in the area, which is good for them obviously, because the competition tends to close down, but if business is booming successfully like that, I would honestly advise them to spend a little more profit money to hire another person at least for the lunch time hours. With less staff to handle orders, mistakes happen from time to time. The way the lady speaks to her customers is also frowned upon, mostly because of her limited English skills, but I guess no one cares since she is still getting another million phone calls. She does not have to be nice and she gets the job done. In times where my coworkers orders were mishandled, Win Hou does give credit back to for the next order. For example, if our office order is missing a soda, one will be credited back the next time. If an order is incorrect, Win Hou needs to take back that specific order in order to get the correct one.
For people who like to eat there, there are more than a few hard seat booths where customers can eat and read a newspaper at their leisure.

I decided to get a lunch special around 1 PM to save for dinner, ordering the from the luncheon special (offered 7 days a week, 11:00 AM — 3:00 PM) which includes pork fried rice/​white rice and soup (wonton, egg drop, hot & sour) or egg roll or soda. I went for my usual Sliced Chicken with Garlic Sauce ($ 4.75) with pork fried rice and hot & sour soup. To my amazement, I didn’t eat it until 6:00 PM, and the food was still very warm.
Portions are pretty standard here, with the lunch special served in a circular white plastic tray (square shaped trays are usually used for dinner). A little less than ¾ of the platter was fried rice, which was average at best, the rice ever so slightly softer than to my liking. Fried rice is at its best when you use yesterday’s white rice. The fried rice had some decent flavor though it could have used more pork cubes to make the rice more substantial. I was a bit disappointed with the chicken portions, which I only found about 15 small slices, and an abundant amount of vegetables ranging from peppers, onions, mushrooms, brocolli, snow peapods, and carrots. The chicken was tender and tasty, but the vegetables tasted as if they a couple days old. The broccoli and peppers were not crisp at all, more on the mushy side. The snow pea pods seemed very dark in color and also lost its crisp, fresh taste. The onions were the only decent vegetable in the dish, which doesn’t lose its freshness and get old as other vegetables do.
The hot & sour soup was familiar, though slightly on the vinegar-​side. Not too strong, but noticeable. I still enjoyed my food, but everything seemed to be off-​key. I might consider coming back again to give Win Hou another chance, or stick to my usual, Liu’s Garden which is just down the block (1 – 2 miles westbound on Union Turnpike).
