    We were in Salt Lake for a business conference and looked for an Asian restaurant close to our hotel & the Salt Palace. Great service & food. The soup & appetizers along with the main courses was outstanding. Great plane if in town for a conference or a pre show.

    Our first time to J Wongs and we were very pleased. The food was very well prepared and I believe the prices were very reasonable. Service was great. I enjoyed the little robot that delivers food near the table to then be placed by our server/hostess. Very fun!

    I’ve enjoyed J Wong’s for years, but sadly, they’ve gone downhill. The staff is always nice and accommodating and the service is great. It’s the food that is the issue. The bbq duck was so over cooked it reminded me of the turkey in Christmas Vacation. The walnut shrimp and the salt and pepper shrimps’ batter coating was like cardboard and the other entrees were just edible.

    Literally the best Chinese food I have ever had. The quality of the meat (chicken) was enough for me to name this my favorite Chinese restaurant I have ever been to and I am 50+ years old and eaten Chinese cuisine all over the country even NYC. The basil chicken was fresh and delicious as well, just wonderful. Five Stars!

    We ate here after Dragonsteel Nexus: the restaurant is located right across from the venue. Great food and great portions! Would recommend, but definitely call for a reservation!

    Good food. Quiet atmosphere, once our new little friend left with her parents. The robot that brought out the food was chill. Their hot and sour soup had a rich, kind of beefy broth that was quite tasty. It had just a little spice. I had har gau and potstickers as my entrees. The potstickers were very good. The har gau could have used a little seasoning, or green onion, or something to kick up the flavor of the shrimp a bit. They were still good, though. Both had soy sauce for dipping. My wife had the cashew stir-fry with chicken. It had a good bit of garlic in the sauce. The chicken was tender and juicy. Absolutely delicious! You get your choice of rice or lo mein for a side. Lo mein was her choice, and the noodles were a perfect complement to the stir-fry. The portion size was just right for one person, and you'd probably have a little to take home, too. Overall, it was an appetizing meal at a reasonable price.

J Wongs serves lunch Monday–Friday from 11:00 am–2:00 pm and dinner daily from 4:00 pm–9:00 pm. If you’re planning a special outing (pre-show or holiday) it’s a good idea to call ahead and confirm hours or make a reservation.

Early dinners on weekdays or before peak showtimes are the best bet for a quieter meal. Guests frequently use J Wongs for pre-show dinners (it’s one block from The Capitol Theater), so evenings, especially weekends, can be busy. If you want a relaxed pace, aim for early dinner or lunch on weekdays and consider making a reservation for weekend nights.

J Wongs offers standard dining seating and accepts private parties, making it suitable for groups and celebrations. Guests note attentive hosts who escort parties to tables, and the space is described as spacious and quiet. There’s no specific public listing of private rooms, so for a dedicated private room or special seating request, call ahead and the staff can confirm available arrangements.

While a formal waiting-list policy isn’t published, guests advise calling ahead and making reservations, especially for weekend evenings or pre-show times, because it can get busy.

The fun twist of robots delivering food and its downtown location (right by The Capitol Theater) make it great for a pre-show dinner. Consider making a reservation for weekend evenings to secure a cozy table.

Portions tend to be generous and satisfying. Guests mention “great portions” and that dishes are enough for a full meal with some leftovers for sharing.

Yes, families do dine here and guests often bring children to celebrate birthdays. The atmosphere is welcoming and staff are described as accommodating and attentive.
