" Lao Wang has become one of my favorite spots in Isla Vista. I love their sweet and sour chicken; it's always crispy and flavorful! The staff is incredibly friendly, and it's such a nice space to chill with friends, especially when we get a pitcher of drinks. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeaway from Lao Wang and was pleasantly surprised at how fast the service was! I had the Chinese sausage and minced pork bun, which was to die for. I will definitely return and recommend it to all my fellow students! " (*Curated Review*)

" The noodles are where Lao Wang truly shines! I ordered the noodle soup with quail eggs and it was so comforting on a chilly day. Just a bit salty but still packed with flavor. The atmosphere is fun too; it's a great place to hang out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ramen could use a bit more kick, but overall a solid dish. The chicken buns are where it’s at though! The staff was super helpful, and I enjoyed the open-air setting. Would consider coming back despite the ramen. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pork belly bao and wow, it was delicious! The flavors were spot on, and it felt really authentic. The only downside was that I found the seating a little cramped during peak hours. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a quick, tasty meal. " (*Curated Review*)
