Peter Wong, located just west of 15th Avenue and just under half a mile east of the 19th Avenue / Camelback station is the descendant of Big Wong, a legendary restaurant that operated for nearly two decades along Indian School Road. The restaurant has three different menus. The takeout menu is full of familiar American Chinese food. Look there for kung pao this, sweet-and-sour that. The next level is the "authentic menu" in its English-language version. This menu reiterates everything from the to-go menu but adds in more exotic items like hot pots featuring ingredients such as shrimp and vermicelli. It's a nice mix of the familiar and the exotic. The third menu is also called the "authentic menu" and is printed in both Chinese and Vietnamese, the latter perhaps being a nod to the large southeast Asian community in the neighborhood. |
