We've been coming to this place for years especially after our flights arriving back to SFO. Fat wongs offers simple delicious Canto style dishes at reasonable costs. I always ordered the main staples such as beef chow fun, wonton noodles, braised beef shank and tofu, plus the crispy fried donuts. Comfort food at its best. A bonus is they accept credit cards now.

Didn’t recognize most items on the menu. Ordered all sorts of stuff, noodles, dumplings, wonton, and everything was really good. Great price and great spot.

We came here for dinner and had a good meal. We ordered the house special pan fried noodles, beef chow fun, roasted duck, curry fish balls, deep fried pork chop with spicy salt, beef brisket, shrimp wonton soup, broccoli with oyster sauce, pork and preserved egg porridge, and assorted pork organs porridge. We thought the house special pan fried noodles weren’t that good, but everything else was great. Our favorites were the beef brisket, shrimp wonton soup, deep fried pork chop with spicy salt, and pork and preserved egg porridge. We will definitely be back when we’re back in the area!

Came for dinner with my husband as we stayed one night near the airport. My husband had the roasted duck noodle soup and I had the shredded duck meat stirred fry noodles. Both came very fast and in a very generous portions. The roasted duck noodle soup was delicious but my shredded duck meat stirred fry noodles was just ok. There’s only little shredded duck meat and tasted quite bland. The price was ok and very friendly staff. Not bad for a quick meal.

I’m so impressed by the food and the price. Everything is delicious and authentic. The pictures from 100 years ago of the old Canton/Guangzhou makes me feel nostalgic.
