Wing On - Darlington

Despite its lackluster exterior, the restaurant surprised us with its fantastic food. The service was impeccable, especially considering our random ordering. We were disappointed that our favorite dish wasn't on the menu, but we appreciated the free bottle of soda with our order. There was a minor mixup with our order, but we felt the boss's reaction towards the server was unwarranted. The mixed starter was delicious, as were the sweet and sour chicken balls, house special chow mein, satay beef, lemon chicken, and beef curry. We even had leftovers for the next day. The meal was cooked in just 30 minutes and was great value for money. We hope they consider adding shredded chilli beef and orange chicken to the menu in the future.

I decided to stop by for a quick meal of wonton soup and special fried rice, and I was pleasantly surprised. The soup was delicious, with crisp vegetables and flavorful wontons. Wonton soup is my go-to dish to judge a restaurant, and Wing On exceeded my expectations. The special fried rice was also a delightful surprise, packed with savory meat slices and juicy prawns on top of fluffy rice. Despite facing challenges in January and nearly closing down, the restaurant has clearly put in the effort to bounce back. I will definitely be returning.

I ordered from Wing On through Just Eat and I will not be ordering again. The food was bland, with strange-tasting water chestnuts in the prawn dish, powdery-tasting curry, and the special chow mein was mostly onions in sloppy juice. I have had multiple poor experiences with takeaway food ordered through Just Eat, so I will not be ordering from Wing On or Just Eat again.

Have used Wing On for many years, even through their bad times when they had a one star hygiene rating. Never had a bad meal, never any upset stomachs. Food always hot fish and delicious. HOWEVER, change of ownership has led to shop interior having make over do it looks better but the food is atrocious. I'm sure my chicken was off, but I only ate a couple of mouthfuls and threw the rest out. I'm glad I did as I'm sure I would have been very unwell, rather than being just a bit off colour the following day. There was one small pice of ginger in my ginger spring onion chicken it tasted like gravy granules with onion in. My husband's sweet and sour was edible but had a strange smell that I've only noticed in cheap microwave meals before and the chips stunk the car out on the way home with the smell of old fat it was raining heavily but I drove with the window open I won't be going back

Food quality is good, we ordered munchy box yesterday, generous portions, food arrived early and piping hot. Will be ordering again.
