really bad taste. we have been ordering from thong la's for a very long time, we loved it, but tonight weorderedand it tasted like chemicals or something my tongue and throut are burning, we called them and they said oh thank you it is good isn't it.....no english communication so i took it back and they pretty much said no complaints only from you, and laughed opened it all up and said well what's wrong, i told her and she laughed again took it to the back brought me $20 and said nothing no apology or a new order, nothing. we aren't impressed seems how we really enjoyed their food and prices in the past....but no longer

good quality with low price. i haveorderedchinese food for a long time. recently, thong la restaurant became my best chocie for chinese food. for others' chinese restaurants, they just mix the soy sauce and hot water to make the soup,and it's a common problem for chinese restaurant in abbotsford . but i saw the chef thong was using the chicken legs to make the soup. it's absolutely different taste from the soy sauce soup.and i was surprised when i pay the bills. everything is $5.95. i have to say thong la restaurant is my best chocie for chinese food.

i have tried 8 chinese restaurants in the valley between mission and abbotsford and been disappointed each time. this place was the first time i've had good chinese food since moving to the valley (2 years). the price $6.50 per dish is outstandingly reasonable and every dish we tried (wonton soup and 5 others) was delicious. i would highly recommend this place. iorderedtake out and walked in to be greated by a rude waitress so i knew it was going to be authentic!!! i'm not ordering here to make friends i am more concerned with good food and that was provided

wonderful. we drove from mission to see if the reviews were right. quiet on a monday night and super delicious food. best food for reasonable price.ordered3 plates and soup. $30-$35. and i have lunch tomorrow. we will be back.

food was excellent and everything was $5.95.orderedfour items and with pickup discount was $24 with taxes. wonton soup was very good and large. it's located in a shady old plaza mall, but it's now my too go spot for chinese. these items would be $8-$12 per item at other spots and not as good. no point in getting the combo dinners , as it's so reasonable to order individual items.

update 6/18/15
they've raised their prices to $6.49/plate, but who cares? fed a family of 3 adults, plus had enough leftovers for hubby's lunch for work the next day, for $30. the food is still fantastic. love this place

ohhh yummm. who can possibly beat $5.95 for everything on the menu.
weordereddeep fried prawns - for $5.95 - and got 15 of them! the sweet and sour pork is awesome. almond chicken - 3 breasts for $5.95. and the mushroom chop suey. we also tried the spring roll...very yummy and the egg roll, which was good, but not fabulous like other things.

our new favorite chinese place in abbotsford. not sure we'll be going anywhere else ever again.

we fed 3 people for $32 for dinner!

neato. my dad had been there a few times and really enjoyed himself, so we both went tonight. when you're served each dish, each of which seems to come out as soon as it's prepared, they give you a big plate full; i reckon it's enough to easily split between four people.

we got wonton soup, chicken wings, poutine, spicy boneless pork ribs (i think..? something like that) and some plain rice.
the folks across from us hadorderedwonton soup as well, after we did. when ours came out they exclaimed "is that how big it is?!"
haha.

the food was all quite nice and i'm not even that big on chinese-style food.

everything on their regular menu is 5.95 as of this writing, no matter what it is. they have another menu for special slightly more unusual and more expensive items (bbq duck is so goooood).

fine service. no pestering. few staff but friendly and well-mannered. i don't know if they have backup; i could see it getting a little hectic if it filled up, though it's a fairly small joint anyway.

give it a shot, folks. not bad at all. i will certainly be returning.
