The Wong Cafe on Rice Street in Roseville does not offer much in atmosphere; that might be an understatement. Thirty-five years ago they moved from their long-established Selby Avenue location. We ate at the Selby site and continue to visit them.
It appears that much of the business is take-out chow mein. If you look past the standard fare you'll find very nice options like chicken lo mein. The crisp vegetables and nicely quartered broccoli and egg all adds to a very pleasant entre.
The Twin Cites has certainly experience a broad shift in Chinese and Asian options since the 1970s, and unfortunately is now often represented by large all you can eat buffet options.
Wong's is a bit a throwback but we're never disappointed and the owner is focused and friendly.
