Charlie Wong's American-Chinese


Located less than one-half mile from Royal Sisters beauty shop in the heart of Brambleton and Park, Charlie Wong's American-Chinese Restaurant serves up a dining experience unmatched anywhere in Tidewater.

Upon entering, one is enchanted by the dazzling architecture, which suggests a fabulous hybrid of 18th-century Peking and 20th-century Portsmouth. As Chef Wong prepares the grand feast before your eyes, waitress Tamika provides a variety of pre-dinner refreshments such as Thunderbird and Mad Dog 20/20, which take on the consistency of fine chablis. Chef Wong truly has a flair for the dramatic, and his original creations like Chinese chitterlings and stir-fry hot dogs attest to that. Learn these dishes contain no MSG and...VOILA!!! You have a culinary chutzpah that's both nourishing and nutritious.

Your listening appetite is also satisfied, as DJ Tom Vu runs the musical gamut from Wang Chung to Wu-Tang Clan.

The misfortune cookies (Oreos with handwritten 3-M Post-It Notes inside) are a nice touch that concludes the evening marvelously. Among the proverbial gems (composed by Wong himself!): "Better to have broken nose than broken heart," "Diamonds forever until stolen," and "Bullet in head more respectable than in hand."

Charlie Wong's American-Chinese. Just minutes from anywhere in Tidewater. Reservations recommended.
