Johnny Wong in Lichfield

A difficult review to write as I have really rated this place. .I have been vegetarian for 30 years and never eaten any meat. I ordered a vegetarian yuk sung by phone and they repeated the order back to me . I ate over half and thought there was vegetarian meat in it which I was pleased about as it wasn't like usual yuk sung with crispy noddles etc . I suddenly felt like maybe I should check .. as it had a slight chicken taste ( vegetarian meat is so good now , it’s hard to know). I called them and they said no there were only vegetable in it .. I told them categorically that there was meat In it. They came back to check and the lady was quite snappy and said I had ate the curry . My husband had had the curry ( with chicken it) and this was not curry . She slapped £7 in my hands and walked off … no apology. I spent alll the night feeling extremely sick. It is a shame as to be honest I have always enjoyed this place in the place, non greasy, nice flavours

The food here was delicious and every dish was packed with full, authentic flavour. Even though you are paying that little extra, we thought their portion sizes were very generous. This is such an underrated place. Go, there!

As usual good food good price. Nice friendly staff and good service best restaurants in the area. Delivery service also very good with large portions

Highly recommend……I’ve tried many different Chinese restaurants around the area and always resort back to this one….I’ve never had a bad meal here 10/10

Small from the outside big welcome in side, Our favourite, always friendly, always freshly cooked a little gem

Really good food and service. We'd been meaning to come here for years, and finally got around to it. There's no Chinese restaurants in Walsall any more, so this is the closest to us. A few dishes that you don't get at many places too, highly recommended.

This was the best Chinese delivery I've had piping hot and food was delicious 😋 crispy chilli beef was beautiful complimented perfectly with sweet n sour chicken and beef n black bean sauce was a joy to behold.

Nice to see the staff again. Had take away for two. Excellent as before. Still hot when got it home. Will go back . Give it a try.

Ordered and waited in car. Order Mongolian lamb meal for one. Spare ribs salt pepper chips. It was amazing. The lamb is arguably the best Chinese meal I’ve ever had. My misses said best sweat sour chicken she’s ever had and my spicy chips were delicious. See you soon

When I first moved to Burntwood this was the best eat in and take out place, then the people who ran it moved to the branch in Birmingham not as good anymore sorry.

We visited Johnny Wong’s as we were staying in Chase Terrace. It just happened to be on Valentines Night. What a good choice we made. The starters and mains which were freshly cooked were of a very high standard indeed. A great night, our servers were both friendly and helpful, they ensured we had enough of everything. A very enjoyable evening and one which we will repeat when we are in Burntwood again.

Haven’t not been here for a while so we gave it a whirl ~ found it to be quite expensive for ‘all you can eat’ I was expecting around £12.85 /£14.95 but was a little surprised at the £17 price. We asked for prawn crackers but were told they were an extra £2 !! There is also a note on the menu stating they do not serve tap water.... not sure we will be returning again.

We went for a Birthday treat and found the place friendly, very polite nothing too much trouble and tasty food.

I'd been going to Johnny Wong's for years then moved out of the area. I was very pleased to find that after a few year hiatus the quality was still there. It was about £17 for the all you can eat menu for which you can keep ordering your favourite starters as they are made to order as opposed to the usual buffet style AYCE. There is a catch though, anything ordered but not eaten will be charged extra - think this is more for main meals and if they've not been touched at all, a few dregs is ok. To be fair, the food is that good you won't leave anything anyway. There's a broad selection of things to choose from but the salt & chilli chicken wings will always be a firm favourite of mine. Wash it all down with a few cheeky bottles of Tsingtao too. Delicious! The service and staff are fantastic. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of the place. Location wise it is a gemstone among an otherwise dying shopping precinct so don't let the exterior put you off.

We have gone and sat in, we have ordered a delivery. Both kinds are exactly the same quality. It’s pricier than other chineses ive been to but it is well worth the cost. You definitely get what you pay for

Situated in a run down precinct but so much better than its surroundings. The dining area is small as upstairs is rarely open now - I think more trade is take-away. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is really lovely despite the major attraction being an 'all you can eat menu'. On the a la carte menu portion sizes are huge - we had two dishes between two.

Most people take advantage of the all you can eat for £17 per person however a la carte is available. We had vegetable Yuk Song which is mock duck in lettuce leaves. We then had tofu and sizzling noodles. All very nice and good portion sizes. A very acceptable meal at a sensible price.

Our first visit was a week ago. Food was amazing although it took a while to come was well worth the wait. The only negative comments are that there is no drinks price list so until the bill arrives you have no idea how much they are going to be. Also they do not serve tap water which is against the law if an establishment serves alcohol they are obliged to serve tap water and to display a price list. Also the staff are a little too eager to clear your table so are doing this while people are still eating. Would definitely go again though as food is really good.

Visited last Sunday with the family for Mother’s Day, great service, fantastic food x💕💙 Just had a take away, tonight- just as enjoyable, would highly recommend x

We went as a group of 4 after recommendations from a friend.

Went for food last night, was sat upstairs. Lovely food I must say but ambiance, decor etc was awful- even paid as much as you would at a beautiful restaurant. Wine was expensive too. Went to the toilet and even tried to use their own bleach which was by the toilet to clean the horrible stains! Not great! A shame that the owner doesn’t decorate and give the place a makeover. Won’t be visiting again.

I just love the starters in this restaurant. The all you can eat menu isn't massive compared to their take away menu but there's plenty choice. We usually have more starters than mains, the salt and pepper ribs just fall off the bone. Had salt and chilli pepper lamb this time to go with the Moroccan lamb and pancakes but there was so much chilli my mouth was burning!!! Enjoy the yuk sung as a second course. This time I ordered the king prawn rendang and the comment was made that I must like spicy food. Yes I do but sadly this had no taste - except of powdery sauce - and the prawns were very watery. Really disappointed in this dish. However the quick fried chicken with satay sauce and the chicken with ginger and spring onion were really good. The amount of food for the price is really good value and well worth a visit.

Had a really bad Chinese takeaway from Cannock last week so We decided to give Jonny’s a try after reading reviews for Chinese restaurants locally. Review suggested atmosphere of place was not great but only planning on takeaway.

Family Birthday meal. Quite a large party & due to access we had to sit downstairs, near the rear entrance & take-away counter. It was cold, very cold in fact some wore coats throughout. Also very noisy with people coming in & out. The worst was that there was no atmosphere. Decor was quite shabby, & not really a pleasant place to sit. I gather upstairs is a lot nicer. Was supposed to be an all you can eat buffet, but dishes are brought our individually, with signs saying any not eaten would be charged for. Not particularly cheap either, but its local & the food is quite good. Would I visit again ? Not unless I was seated somewhere a little nicer.

Had the best take out for a long time! Really lovely food! Was recommended by a friend in Burntwood who had take outs from here- brilliant food and really enjoyed!

Have driven past here many times and not been tempted in by the outside appearance. Over the last 8yrs of living in Norton Canes we've been unable to find a decent Chinese and thought we'd give this go as if all else failed we could just eat starters. I don't know if this little place has an upstairs section as downstairs only seats about 24 people. We selected 6 different starters from the all you can eat menu - just the seaweed that wasn't what we expected it tasted of sugar rather than the salty sea. The yuk sung and the salt and chilli ribs were the best I've had anywhere. Because the portion sizes aren't massive it enables you to try several dishes which is great. I tried a rendang which I wouldn't have dared order normally and it had just the right amount of heat - a little tingle of the mouth and throat after a few minutes. We were amazed at the quality of food for the price (£16 each) and the very large bottles of beer aren't expensive either. Just the toilets that need something doing to them!!! This was our first visit but certainly won't be our last.

Booked a table based on Google reviews, not from here. Was looking for a buffet restaurant. So when is a buffet menu not a buffet menu?

I absolutely love Johnny Wongs. It is by far the best Chinese restaurant in the area. They are incredibly friendly, accommodating and the food is awesome. They go out of their way to ensure our meals are vegan. 5 stars

Plenty of dishes for you to choose from on the all you can eat menu (pp £16). However the service is is less diserable, took ages for them to take order for starters, took a long time fir the starters to arrive an then we had to wait ages for them to return to the table to take orders for the mains & then we waited ages for the main dishes to arrive. The portions are very small for the mains, but very tasty & freshly cooked. I was Very disappointed with the ambience as we were put upstairs an the service, the food was ok. We won't be visiting again.

Been Here Loads of times, never had a bad experience, staff are awesome, nothing is too much trouble,

Lovely Food, we had the all you can eat buffet. Plenty of variety, nice & hot. Great friendly staff. Only downside are the toilets, need cleaning & tidying up, lets the place down.

Brilliant response to emails and great response on the booking food was amazing reception was brilliant can’t want for anything great food , great waitress service and food hot and enjoyable will be coming back again . Take aways are just as nice :-)

Last minute .com hadn't booked but we were seated and served promptly. Choice was really good and we over ordered starters so had less room for mains.

We went as a Family of 11 for the all you can eat menu , basically you choose a never ending array of mains starters and sides and when you finish a plate more comes out . The food is by far the best Asian food in the area the ribs are to for for also a good choice of beef pork chicken and even lamb dishes my favourite thing about this place is the noodle selection they do the very fine ones our favourite .. the resturant it self is a bit basic in decor and the beer is bottled only .. but always leave full and have always had a good evening here ...

Ate here on many occasions from the set menu and it's worth it. Decent food quality and price. You order what you want off the menu and it's delivered to your table. There is quite a range of starters and main menu items. Worth a visit.

I think the food here is delicious. I love the fact you can order what u like off the buffet menu and it comes fresh to your table. Most dishes are included too. (Takeaway is a little expensive and the most expensive for a few miles).

I haven't been to Johnny Wong's for a few years and as our usual take away was closed we thought we would return to an old favorite. I was really hoping the meal would be great, making Johnny Wongs our go to place again, sadly I couldn't have been further from the truth. Our order consisted of sweet and sour chicken, chicken curry, spring rolls, satay skewers, chips and egg fried rice. The sweet and sours chicken had practically no sauce, with the chicken appearing and tasting as if it was old and had been cooked twice at least! Very stringy and tough! The chicken curry wasn't great either somehow it tasted like gravy and had a weird green colour to it. The chips and spring rolls were okay however the egg fried rice was bland.

If you require a Takeaway/delivery Chinese meal in the area of Lichfield/ Burntwood then I guarantee you will not find a better experience than "Willy Wonkas" as I call it. You may pay a few quid more but I assure you will not be disappointed.

Just had the best Chinese takeaway from here I had crispy chicken in orange sauce tim had the Thai green curry both dishes were absolutely fabulous definitely the best Chinese for miles x ika xx

Ha sido muchas veces a lo largo de los años y ha sido feliz. Esta noche fue horrible, pollo y cosas sin salsa seca casshews. rollo primavera como string. . Me quejé, pero no hicieron nada. Su realmente ido cuesta abajo. Nos sentimos enfermos después. . Ni siquiera una disculpa arruinó mi cena de aniversario.

Been told how good the food was here so hubby wanted to try for his birthday meal

Me encanta alas johnny porque puedes ir y tomar un bufé sin la comida sentados alrededor ya que cocinar lo que quieres es comer fresco y lo puedes por un precio fijo. Una cosa a tener en cuenta! Ellos te cobran extra si no comes algo.

Antes de ir allí había oído cosas diversas de varias personas. Sin embargo, me encantó. El personal es muy amable. La comida (todo lo que pueda comer) era fantástico. Comer todo lo que quieras pero cocinados a la orden. Delicioso y sabroso ¿qué más puedo...

Me fui con mi pareja y 6 amigos. La comida era absolutamente increíble. Yo diría que decir mejor que he comido en estilo buffet. Decepción por la distribución. Como había 8 de nosotros y la mesa de max lo que hacen es 4 que tiene...

Aunque hemos vivido a unas pocas millas de distancia durante muchos años, por alguna razón que sólo descubrimos Jonny Wong de unos 6 - 7 meses, y desde entonces se ha convertido en un lugar para comer y para llevar. Hemos estado allí esta noche...

Nos hemos mudado recientemente a la zona (hace 3 meses) y no he tenido una llevar todavía!

Omg where do I start ordered a takeaway to be delivered on a Saturday evening was told it would be about 1 hour but yes 2 plus hours later it was delivered and yes of course it was cold never again will I go there or order a take away rant ova x ika xx

I only use Johnny Wongs for my Chinese takeaways. Never had a bad meal in the 2 years I have used them. They are always helpful and accomodating when needed.

Been using johnny wong once a month for the last year. Food Is always nice and hot. When its busy you may have to wait a whilenbut they tell you that so I don't mind

1st time bk to try in 3 years.. i used to eat in every week 5+ years ago was epic place.. But now meat chewy as.. well cant explain so bad.. ordered sczechwan xhot.. more like xtra sweet & sour!! More ov a sweet & sour sauce.. i cook better Chinese food.. menu is going in the bin... with food £20 wasted how can a restaurant which 5 yrs ago was so good end up so rubbish. AWFUL

Staff nice Not eaten in so cant comment The food is hit and miss hence why we don't go anymore. Very unusual dishes, sometimes you just want what you knowChips are not good

First time to johnny wongs food comes out very slow , only 1 drinks menu, décor is bland like a café, we were seated at the rear and very cold as back door always being opened will not be visiting again......

We have used this place for many years both eating in and ordering takeaway. On the whole the food is good but occasional we get a bad meal. This tuesday's takeaway was the worst. The sweet and sour chicken was the worst ever! On opening the containers (we had brought two) the smell was different, mostly onion, and what sauce was there was very dark. The small amount of chicken was thin, and had a rubber like texture. It went in the bin. To be fair we should have phoned and complained, but as it not been the first time, I just decided not to use them anymore.

We have a takeaway from Johnny Wong's at least once a fortnight. It's always lovely food. The staff are super friendly and the delivery is quick. At busy times you may have to wait a little while for delivery but always well worth it. The portions are great and the food is always hot.

Take away service very good. Food always hot and staff very pleasant. Never eaten in but would recommend nevertheless.

Really good quality take away, recently discovered as our regular was closed for refurbishment......this is now our regular, so says a lot,!Hot food, presented well, very tasty and more importantly, it's consistently good

Myself and my husband always use johnny wongs. And have never had a bad takeaway from here. The staff are always polite and always make the effort to make sure your satified with your meal.

Been here many times never had a bad meal hadn't been for a while food as good as ever all you can eat £15 pick off menu food brought to your table fresh and hot really good

Came here as we hadn't been out for a couple of months and fancied a Chinese.Greeted by the familiar friendly face who seated us downstairs at our chosen table.Ordered a selection of starters which appeared after 7/8 minutes and as usual were bang on.The beauty of this ALL YOU CAN EAT is the food is cooked to order not sat around being kept warm.Starters and Mains were both plentiful and tasty and we all came out bigger than a BUDDHA.Great friendly service and evenot greater food and a good price.Week done guys.

Was recommended to me, but didn't compare to others in the area. Chicken was odd with a real watery texture.mwont be going back again for seconds.

Visited for the first time food was very good and fresh will always use this venue plenty to eat the complainants don't know what they are talking about thank you we are and all my family are very impressed with service quality and value

My friends and I visited johnnys last Saturday, there were 9 of us and we had a fantastic time ! We all went I'm for the buffet option of £15 all you can eat ! We were not disappointed! We stuck to starters ,which we must have ordered 4 lots of over 2 hrs ! We had a miriad of different starters including yuk sung , Mongolian crispy lamb, hot n sour soup , salt n chilli chicken wings and ribs ! The food was delicious delivered hot to our table ! The staff were attentive filling our glasses and clearing the table ready for our next lot of food !! They even gave us a free round of shots because of my friends birthda

Hi everyone of Burntwood, this is just a quick note to say I am not pleased whatsoever with our family takeaway from this "Johnny Wongs". I moved to Burntwood back in June 2015. We ordered a Johnny Wongs and ive got to say it was amazing after two recommendations... Anyway! It is now January 2016..we placed our usual order and horrific. No meat. All onions and peppers. Half the portion sizes (tubs are smaller than my fairy like hands". I would not recommend this for a takeaway night in.. unless you want to be disappointed or starving the rest of the night. For £7 average a dish you would expect more. Its joke! Our total came to £30 + and we were highly disappointed, everything was greasy, no meat and tiny portions that a rabbit wouldn't feel full on... what happened to you Johnny Wongs, you used to be great.. now i wouldn't recommend you to anyone.

We really do love ordering our Chinese from Johnny Wong's and the price really isn't that bad. The only problem we have is waiting around for our orders, especially when we ask for a deliver (it took an hour and a half last time) So I would recommend that when you order from here to take out, make sure you leave plenty of time!

Went for friends birthday big group(22) disappointed in decor more like cafe, food was hot but staggered wether it was because so many of us. All in all okay but won't be rushing back anytime soon

Me and hubby decided to try wongs as we had not been here for years. The interior was clean and I suppose slightly cafeteria style. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Service was very friendly and accommodating. You literally do order as much food as you like for 15. We had a variety of starters all were lovely especially the meat spring rolls and Mongolian lamb. We then had a variety of mains , lemon chicken very nice. Although the quality was not outstanding if you compare to the actual cost it really was impressive and we will be back.

Visited this restaurant for the first time tonight and absolutely loved it , 4 of us had the buffet menu at £15 each and it was good food at good value for money

great food, friendly helpful staff and very affordable. Thanks guys. Recommended. I have so many different dishes and I am always happy with the quality and taste.

With reasonable prices and prompt delivery within a few miles, this has become our reliable takeaway, and we must have had 30+ meals from them. It's quick, friendly, affordable and the food is fine. Everything you need for a lazy weekend night. Only issue we ever had was when they were close for holidays!

visited lots of times over the years,havent been here for a while but just ordered a takeout and was excellent has always

Been here a couple of times, food was great on both occasions, try the Mongolian lamb, Chinese beer by the bottle, for is hot and fresh, friendly staff, overall a decent place to visit.

We visited Jonny Wong's last night for the first time since the menu changed back to an 'all you can eat' menu, and in short it was even better than ever!Unlike many other 'all you can eat' restaurants, there's no buffet, instead you simply order from the menu at Jonny Wong's, but you can order as much as you want. This means that whatever you order is always hot and fresh.Whenever we eat Chinese food we enjoy starters most of all, and that's not a problem at Jonny Wong's because when you've finished your starters, they ask if you want more! You really can order as much as you want, as long as you eat what you order.As a group of 5 adults and 2 children we ordered a lot of different dishes, and they were all superb, but the stand out choices for me were the Mongolian Crispy Lamb, Chicken & Sweetcorn Soup, and Beef with Chinese Mushrooms & Bamboo Shoots - all excellent!The quality of the ingredients is high, and the beef is incredibly tender. Service is great and very friendly, and they're fantastic with the children. At £15 per head, it really is amazing value.Try it, you will not be disappointed!

Have eaten here and had a umber of take aways and they do Bean Curd as a vegetarian option. Can have it any style and it adds a lovely alternative for a veggie..

I'm not a fan of Chinese food but the food at Jonny Wong is excellent and very tasty. Thankfully the £15 buffet menu is back. You can order as much as you like from an extensive menu and it is cooked fresh and served to your table. Cannot be beaten on taste or value. The restaurant looks bland and feels a bit unwelcoming but the staff are polite and friendly so don't let looks put you off.

We had a meal last night it was delicious staff is friendly high recommend it if u never been there u should have a try I recommend for my friend and my family as well

Terrible food no flavour worst Chinese ever had. Rang to give feed back and not interested. The Gourmet is by far better

This restaurant food is of high quality. I have never received a poor meal either in the restaurant or in a takeaway. Price is excellent, if you have never visited this restaurant than do so today!

Hubby and I dropped in thinking we'd have a meal in what we used to know as a lovely Chinese restaurant. It's no longer a restaurant and only does takeaway/deliveries (within 3 miles). We were really disappointed but opted for a takeaway anyway -however the disappointment didn't end there as the food was lacklustre at best. Such a shame as it used to be a favourite eatery - we won't be going back :(

Yen has just changed the menu from an all you can eat buffet to a 4 course set meal - but we still seem to eat the same amount! Still get a good selection of starters, followed by our new favourite, aromatic crispy duck in wraps. There are other choices for second course but... Real difference is that you can now only choose one main course instead of as many as you wanted when it was buffet, but choice is huge and varied. Follow all of that with a helping of ice cream for dessert. Cost just £12.50. When you consider the choice available to you and what you pay, this has to be the best value Chinese in the West Midlands.Did I forget to mention that not only is it great value, but the food is always generously portioned as well as SOO tasty and well cooked, we don't know how they do it at the price. They also have a thriving takeaway service if you fancy a night in!

First time ive been back to this restaurant since new owners took over. I wud of rated this restaurant 5 before now 2 max very disapointed will neva go back again.. New owners need to get advise from previous owners, food v poor
