Pork fried rice was really good, wonton soup was ok, lo-mein and other main dishes were almost inedible because they were drowning in some unidentified type of greasy sauce that was unlike any other I've had at a Chinese place.

This is the best place to go for a great Chinese dinner. Tony and his family are wonderful and I always love going there for the food and the beautiful atmosphere. I love the way we can just sit and relax as a family there. We eat then open the fortune cookies and laugh as we are trying to say the Chinese names on the back. The lucky numbers are great too. Always rub the Budda's belly when leaving. This time I hugged him for good luck.

Been to this spot many times in the past, and I don't remember it being this bad. Just got takeout, and the lady that took my order just kept yelling "what else", should've known from the start. Got the gold standard General Tso's chicken. In one word, disappointing. 3 pieces of small breaded chicken and the rest was giant pieces of raw green pepper. They obviously try to make this dish seem large without putting any substance into it. The hot & sour soup was on point, the rest of the meal was about par. TL;DR Better off going somewhere else

Best Chinese on the west side Hands down! Tony does a nice job making you feel welcome. The food quality is always great and done quite quickly too. I love the egg Fu young, and schashwan chicken, but honestly all of the food is good! It has been great for years and continues to be consistently good year and yeah again. Love this place.

Wow. I was really surprised to find any positive reviews for this place, let alone so many. This is overall one of the very worst restaurants I have ever been to. We stopped here on a whim just because we saw it as we drove past and we were hungry. This experience makes me understand the people who prefer to always eat at chain restaurants so they know what they're getting. My companion had wanton soup and szechuan chicken; I had hot and sour soup and vegetable chow mein. Her soup was so bad she didn't eat it; mine was also not good. Hot and sour soup is one of the things I always get to test out a new Chinese place, and this is one of the worst I've had. It had a very cloudy appearance, almost like gravy. Neither of our entrees were good. Mine was almost exclusively bean sprouts, and had not much flavor at all. Hers just had a bad taste. The worst were the sweet and sour sauce and hot mustard they keep on the table. They were so watery and oddly dark brown. I didn't want to eat anything on my plate that they touched because it seemed like they must certainly be spoiled. The service was fine. The bathrooms looked clean, but smelled awful, like rotten food.

If you like quality and good taste, do not eat here. Everything was awful! So sad, this location would've been very convenient to pick up on my way home from work once in a while..

Good food and price is good. Place could use a good cleaning up though. It's a bit dirty on the doors/walls/floor. Maybe they should remodel soon. Unclean restaurants makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like,Ya know? The service is very nice to you and they treat you good. I eat there frequently and have not had a bad meal yet.

This, without a doubt, is my favorite Chinese restaurant in all the world. Since moving to Houston, I have struggled to find quality Chinese food like I grew up with at Wah Fu. I still haven't found anything half as delicious. The wonton soup, shrimp chips, shrimp toast and bbq ribs are the perfect starters. The eggrolls are awesome, too - they have the standard shrimp eggrolls, or a vegetarian version for those with shellfish issues. For dinner, I always choose between the sweet & sour chicken or lemon chicken dishes. Ordering the combination is the smart way to go. Everything has consistently been delicious and served hot! You just can't beat it. Tummies are sooo happy and fulfilled when it's time to go. :) I cannot wait for my next visit home! First stop= Mom & Dad's. Second stop? As always = Wah Fu!!

Wah Fu's is worth the trip because food is above average.they are a little hit and miss but best egg rolls around and great won ton soup! Three stars is for the service. They always act like they are doing you a favor and just in general can't care less if you are there or not. They are not like overly rude, just don't really give you a were happy that you are spending your hard earned money to support us kind of vibe. The owner however is just an a-hole. You are lucky if he puts his phone down two seconds. I have seen this guy 100 times and have never so much received a "Hi, how are you" or a "thank you for coming". Don't care how big a restaurant is, can never understand how any restaurant can omit those two simple aspects. Ok, now I am just venting and taking out on Wah Fu's. Eh, they deserve to hear it!

Their food is probably the best chinese anywhere within 20 min of Middleburg Heights. Where they misstep a bit is their customer service. I don't think they like their job. They probably figure as long as their food is a "hit" people will forgive a small lack of warmth from the staff. Let me be clear, they are not rude, they do take care of you and your table's needs. But the experience of eating there, whether in house or take out, feels like a business agreement rather than being welcomed to a friend's home for dinner. We'll keep going though, because I'd rather have luke-warm service with great food than vice versa.

Friendly staff; but terrible food...honestly. I wish I could write good things about the food but it just wasn't. Sorry. I am simply hoping I don't get sick. :/

I ate at Wah Fu on a Monday night with a very large group. The restaurant was able to split the checks, which is always so helpful. We were seated at one long table which made it nice as well. I ordered the three-course dinner with pop and cookie. The pot stickers were ok. The egg roll came with shrimp in it, which I should've asked about, because I don't like seafood. The egg drop soup didn't have any flavor and was thicker than I would've liked it to be so I ate very little of it.. My entree, General Tso Chicken, was very good. The medium spice was just right, and I was pleasantly surprised to receive fried rice instead of white. I think that if I had just ordered the entree without the starters that I would've given a higher rating.

Took the family there for first time because of reviews. Everything was outstanding. Wonton soup was the best. Everything was very fresh and hot. Huge portions! Great value!

I'm sad to have to write this review! I have many fond memories of Wah Fu's growing up and have eaten here many times. I will still come here but narrow my selections down to a few items. My sister found a wooden bristle in her food, the manager said it was from the brush that they use to clean the wok. My Chicken Sub Gum was not so good, the fried rice was flavorless. I ended up with Egg Fu Young and it was decent. The waitress was great and the staff was friendly.

I stopped in here for lunch a couple of weeks ago on the advice of some co-workers. Overall, it was an ok experience. Not the best Chinese food I've ever had, but it it was a solid entry for American-style Chinese on the west-side. The service was a little slow, but it was the lunch hour and it was pretty busy, so at the very least the delay understandable. The prices were comparable this type of place - lunch specials in the $6-7 range with other dishes running a bit higher. Other than that, there wasn't anything remarkably good or bad about Wah Fu which is to say if you are looking for decent Chinese in the area it's worth checking out.

I have always found the food at Wah Fu to be good. The table service was poor best described as inattentive. Take out service is fast. The cashier is efficient and not really looking to establish a rapport with customers.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
