I am a loyal customer of Wongs, I just came back to the states in july,when I was leaving SJ,I knew WONGS was renovating one whole side,just wanted to know if it is finished and are they doing the other side now.

I have not been there recently. But our friend Wiseash has and he said it is really nice. They did a great job.

I went with a customer for dim sum last Sunday. It is easily the coolest Chinese restaurant in the mid price range the I have ever seen.

WiseAsh.......

How would you compare Wong's to Casa China?

Thanks for your insight.

Sorry RAC, I have never been. Had a few customers give negative reviews to me, but no first hand knowledge.
I have to laugh because I have read recent reviews on great restaurant food in San Jose, and universally all the feedback I get is the same restaurant is garbage. One guy, who is well traveled, said this was the worst place he has every been to in his life. So be careful on reviews on this board. As you can tell, I'm not a fan of those posting to deceive my CRT brothers.

A while ago, A.M. Costa Rica had the following piece about Casa China. The restaurant is owned by the Chinese Association of Costa Rica. You'd think that it would be good. If I can find a chica who likes chinese food, I'll let you know what I think about it FWIW.

Another choice for dim sum......
If you crave five times the chatter, four times the clatter and triple the variety for half the price, the Chinese Association of Costa Rica’s Casa China is your place. The intoxicating aroma of five spice, garlic, soy, roast pork, steamed chicken and baked buns envelopes the vast space. Star anise steamed chicken feet, ginger flavored riblets, sliced pig’s ears, garlic chive and shrimp dumplings fill the carts daily along with the standards.

For the most action and the largest selection go with the crowd on Saturdays from 10 to 3. Restaurant hours are from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. and the staff professes to have dim sum at all hours on all days, but if you go with the masses the ingredients will be fresh and the choices many. The cavernous restaurant with less than pristine de facto decor is on Calle 25 between avenidas 8 and 10 across the street from the towering Ministerio de Ambiente y Energía.

I ask a chica to have dim sum with me. She refused because there's a rumour that the chino restaurants serve rat meat instead of chicken...WTF!

No problem, tell her it tastes like chicken.

Jajaja, but she had no problem with cim

cheers,

Are we talking about the place that's a block away from Idem? Or did I go to the wong place?

You went to Wangs. Wongs is across from the artesian market on Av Central.

Got it. I say you can't go wong at Wang's.

No. You can't go wrong at Wanks

Does wongs clean their shrimp in dim sum? Casa China does not. I think its gross for that reason.

I don't know. I have only had the schlimp.
