I was skeptical about the place because It was a Chinese food drive thru. But It was close by me and decided to try It, an I've never been so pleasantly surprised, the food was delish, better than most Chinese restaurants. I loved everything I ordered, soup , app, dinner, fried rice was really good and so was everything else. It tasted authentic, the service was ok, and takes longer but the wait was worth It for the authentic food fair.

As Wingloon has obviously slipped. so I best update. They were recently cited and shut down on April 3, 1919 for 16 violations which in part read as follows:
"Rodent activity present as evidenced by approximately 20 fresh rodent droppings found in employee restroom, approximately 30 fresh rodent droppings found in dry storage room, 8 fresh rodent droppings found in prep area next to walk in cooler, 6 dry rodent droppings found In food prep area underneath rice cooker and approximately 10 fresh rodent droppings found on floor on cook line."
"Live, small flying insects in kitchen, food preparation area, or food storage area. Observed 4 live flying insects landing on food preparation table in kitchen, approximately 8 live flying insects on wall in dishwashing area and 3 live flying insects nesting on top of microwave at cook line."
"Interior of reach-in cooler soiled with accumulation of food residue. Observed interior of True reach in cooler soiled with food residue."
"No currently certified food service manager on duty with four or more employees engaged in food preparation/handling."
"Potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) food left at room temperature to cool. Observed cooked chicken temps at 89 degrees Fahrenheit left at room temperature to cool."
"Reach-in cooler not maintained in good repair. Do not store potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) food in this unit until the unit is repaired. Observed flip top reach in cooler ambient temperature at 46 degrees Fahrenheit."
As far as their food is concerned, I needn't elaborate on their food choices as they are generally typical of take out or drive through Chinese, but as one might expect, the choices are extensive. The window clerks are exceedingly polite, helpful, cooperative, and whatever you seem to order is nicely prepared and given to you within about five to ten minutes; sometimes less. The portions are large and the prices are budget reasonable. And of what I've had here, rather good in taste and flavor; most recently I had their Singapore Noodles which were good. But when eating them, horror of horrors, I read about the health shutdown. Though I actually enjoyed them and suffered not ill effects, my days of coming here are over with.
My initial review was back in 2011 and everything appeared clean, but now things have obviously slipped to such a dangerous degree the health authorities have had to take the drastic action of shutting it down. During a recent visit I was unaware and didn't see any evidence of this problem, but I couldn't really see into the kitchen and will stake my beliefs upon the findings of the health professional. So for endangering their patron's health, a One Star along with my thought that it should be avoided as this should never have been allowed to have happened. -

Unacceptable.
One hour for vegetable fried rice is not acceptable for delivery time. -

I have been wanting to try Wingloon for longer than I care to admit. It's like this little tiny stand, which kind of reminds of a concession stand on Andrews right next to Crunch Fitness- all Chinese restaurants need to be next to a gym in my humble opinion.
Ordering options:
1. Call
2. Pick up window
3. Drive thru
I was feeling ultra lazy and did the drive thru. I was in a rush, or at least felt that way when ordering (and this was my first time so I wasn't familiar with the menu) so I quickly pulled their menu up online and ordered.
They tell you for drive thru to stay where you are until another car pulls behind you, then if that happens, move your car to the lot and they will somehow (typically waving their hands) that your food is ready.
I'd say it took 5-7 minutes to prepare and my lo mein was ready. I had it with shrimp and beef. It came with a side of fried rice which was unnecessary but still I took it. Came with soup and an egg roll. I didn't realize the portioning and I got some crab Rangoon which come in orders of 6 or 10.
I pulled away and hurried home so I can feast on hot Chinese food. Wow. The noodles were delicious. Actually, everything was. The portions were huge. Bigger than normal Chinese takeout and I feel like no matter where you order from you get an abundance of food, but here they overload you, which I can't say I'm mad about.
The egg roll was gigantic. The soup was a huge bowl with tons of wontons. So much beef and shrimp in the lo mein. I really couldn't ask for anything more.
I made sure to take a menu so I can have them deliver right to my door step.
Definitely a fan. -

I decided to finally try Wingloon. I been seeing this restaurant for quite a while now and always thought it was unique to see a Chinese restaurant with a drive thru. I went to the drive thru and I was the only car there. I was actually looking for an actual board up with a list of what they sell but instead they have a menu taped to the window glass. The writing was to small for me to read so I kindly asked them for a menu to look at. The lady that took my order was nice. And the wait for the food to get prepared wasn't that long. I ordered the quart of special fried rice. And she made sure all my soy sauce and duck sauce that I wanted was in the bag. The prices didn't seem to be that expensive either. The rice was okay but definitely wasn't the best. They put way too much green beans in the rice and I wish I knew they add that in their rice because I prefer to not have green beans. I probably wont be back there anytime soon because their are better chinese spots around. But I did like the service and the drive thru system but the food was not the best.
