Best Chinese Restaurants in London Ontario
Wong's Garden
If you're looking for a casual, family-friendly Chinese joint that serves up delicious traditional dishes, look no further than Wong's Garden.
The atmosphere is casual and inviting, and the staff is attentive and friendly. I decided to give Wong's Garden a try, and I'm so glad I did!
The food is fresh, with large chunks of meat and veggies, and the sauces and flavors are spot-on.
The lo mein with veggies is amazing, but the honey ribs are a real standout.
I highly recommend ordering extra to take home, and then heating it up in a pan the next day - it's just as delicious! I'm so happy I found this spot, and I can't wait to go back

But even if you're not in the mood for a buffet, Mandarin also has an extensive menu of à la carte dishes.
Our lunch was great, my husband and I had a great time. The waitress, Jenny, was amazing! She was always on top of things, refilling water and making sure our food was delicious.
She was super helpful and kind. We will definitely return!!!. Overall, Mandarin is a must-visit for anyone in London looking for delicious Chinese food.
