Fong’s Garden

Food was great! My pot stickers were really good! They were bigger than I thought they were gonna be. I also ordered the won tong soup which was only a dollar I might add. It was a bit on the small size but had 3 dumplings in it.
Just a side note: To be honest I don’t think the restaurant should be judged upon it’s owner’s allegations. I’m not saying what he did is ok but the people leaving one star reviews… I think its just kind of ridiculous.
The food came out relatively quick and I thought it was really good quality considering the price. Ambiance is welcoming with Chinese music and décor. Portions weren’t what we expected as we ordered way too much! Even with this though I enjoyed a wide variety of things off the menu, some of the soups weren’t very hot but I mean for the price and the work ethic of the workers it was great quality. Waitress was really kind. Thanked us when leaving and greeted us.

Your average Chinese takeout restaurant. Prices were good! It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but nothing I would complain about. They are not very gluten free friendly (I have an allergy), so I just had to order plain white rice with steamed mixed vegetables and shrimp with NO sauce. Super boring, but whatever. My parents and fiancé ordered regular menu food and said it was decent.

Best Chinese food you’ll ever find. Period. The buffet is okay, but the menu food is far superior. My wife and I go and we get the fried pot stickers (which are amazing) as a starter. I get the beef with broccoli, and she gets the sesame chicken. The price is right and we always end up with left overs. The owner/​manager is always on her feet and incredibly nice. If you’re ever in the area on a non-​buffet day, you should definitely pop in for some amazing Chinese food.

My son will eat sesame chicken at any Chinese restaurant except Fongs. He was disgusted with their food and wouldn’t eat it.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants! Very friendly and the food is always delicious and hot! I haven’t had anything there I haven’t liked. I’ve had the buffet and their entrees.

Huge fan of this place — best Chinese I have found in Oconomowoc!
I typically only do carryout with my family. Let me say, their customer service and attention to detail is outstanding. My family tends to customize literally every single meal they get — no veggies, extra veggies, add chicken, spicy level, extra gravy etc. The lady on the phone (who always takes our order) always repeats back our order correctly. And even better, when we pick-​up and open our food, the order is always correct (and nice and HOT!) I don’t care as much if things are 100% correct — but I know my parents really appreciate it.
Bonus?! They give you delicious homemade, warm sugar donuts. For FREE! Soooo good. I look forward to dessert after every meal.
Note: I have never eaten in. I don’t know that I ever would either. Chinese is something I just love to carryout, eat at home while watching a good movie.

4.5 stars. Fongs is by FAR the best chinese in the Lake Country area. Oconomowoc, Delafield, Hartland, nobody else comes close. The BEST sweet amd sour sauce I’ve had anywhere! I really love their eggdrop soup too. Fongs is the only place I’ll order eggdrop soup ala carte from because it’s so good.
I like Chinese places that do the basics well, good eggrolls, good fried rice, good egg dropsoup. If they take pride in these things most likely the rest of the food will be good too. I’ve always had good service here and never had any concerns about cleanliness. The only reason not 5 stars is lately they have taken tje eggrolls which were among my top 3 favorite and put less pork and shrimp in them than they used to.

I love Fongs. I’ve been going here for as long as I can remember and I always enjoy their takeout. The staff is sweet and pleasant and obviously cares about their restaurant. Not sure how family issues are relevant to the quality of their food and the hard work that they put into their business.

Best Chinese ever. The egg rolls are outstanding and so is everything else. The owner usually remembers your order when you come back! Great service!

I love the egg rolls and the sesame chicken. Few places the match the prior an I’ve never had the later’s equal anywhere!

This place has great food! I eat here at least once a week and am always pleased. Other Chinese places in the area don’t come close to it for food quality. My absolute favorite is the beef with mixed vegetables hands down! If your in a hurry for lunch the daily buffet has a great selection to choose from.
The prices are really reasonable too. Our whole family of 4 was under $ 30! If you like Chinese food give this place a try, you won’t be disappointed!

We love Fongs. Best Chinese in the area. We also know the owners and they are amazing hard working people who take pride in their business. I’m very unhappy with the city trying to take their building and accusing Mr. Lin of such troubling things.

Three stars for value received. Meals are consistent and of an average flavor. Large portions. Only have white rice. Always friendly and clean facility. Best Chinese in the area.

I love Fongs. The egg rolls are delicious, the steamed dumplings w/​sauce are also very good. Chicken dishes are great– but I order with white meat only. Breading on Sweet sour chicken is never too cakey. The sesame chicken is delicious– (my fav) broccoli never over cooked. My daughter and son love the Moo Goo Gai Pan. Beef and green peppers & onions is really good. Their chicken chop suey is very good too. Oh, and my kids absolute favorite unrivaled for this type of restaurant, is the Crab Rangoon– they make it sweet here– and the wontons don’t tear the roof of your mouth up. I think where some of these reviews go wrong is with the eat in experience. Unless they are high priced buffets, buffets are made cheaply– anywhere. The buffet is ok– but don’t order it if you want to be really satisfied– it’s a buffet. All I can say is for what we order– we love it– and miss it (moved to Missouri for year — Chinese food sucked there (St Peters), recently just moved to Manassas VA, tried three places rated well by people who claim to be regular Chinese food lovers– and not one of those restaurants touches Fongs. End point: order take out. I have eaten in a few times, but you don’t go there for atmosphere. Been going to Fongs since 1993. Because of my dissatisfaction of trying to find good Chinese elsewhere, I give Fongs Five stars for quality, quantity, and because I still crave their food after being away two years! Three stars if you consider eating in. Re: «dirty» review– Fongs is actually cleaner than the average «Chinese restaurant». Not sure what that review was about. Oconomowoc is an upscale community– no way Fongs would survive for 20+ years if it were nasty. I’ve seen many restaurants come and go in Oconomowoc, Fongs has stood the test of time. And the review about the guy and buffet and chicken wings? That’s why I don’t go to Golden Corral expecting Steak House happiness. Just order the egg rolls & crab Rangoon for a «test». Enough said. Fongs was the first place we went to eat out coming back to visit this last summer– and it was same as always– so good!!!

Nasty and gross — dirty and not worth the visit
Guess dirty dining’s review was right about this place go some where else

This is bad even in the scope of Americanized Chinese food. Yuck.

Please. If you know good Chinese food, don’t waste your time eating here! I’ve been to many, many buffets… and I only came here because the one reviewer gave it 4 stars… for the memories?! Well, the food was lacking flavor. Some items even tasted rancid.
The only item that was remotely good were the deep-​fried chicken wings. Those were perfect… and they aren’t even considered «Chinese».
I would have given this place zero stars with the commentary HELL NO, but the minimum is one.
$ 5.99 for the buffet. I wouldn’t pay a penny more.
