Wong's Chinese

The design and props were amazing and sets this escape room apart from other escape rooms. The owners used to own a Chinese restaurant so the design was very authentic. Pro: - there’s a lot of puzzles to work through which made it a lot of fun, suitable for 3-4 people to go. We went with 7 people which felt like too much, there was some crowding and a couple people were standing around at times without something to do - puzzles weren’t too hard, good for more beginner players as the dots were easy to connect Cons: - there’s was one puzzle that was very time consuming which I personally am not a fan of - the props were pretty dated, you could see visible wear and tear on some of the items used

This was was so so so fun! So many puzzles and our team of four barely made it out with three hints. The theming was fun and I should mention it had the best produced intro video I’ve ever seen. Just pure puzzle chaos. It is a standout to me having done about fifty rooms.

So I would have LOVED this game if it weren’t for a couple things. First off the set design is great. You can tell there are some things with wear and tear that could probably use some TLC. The gameplay was great. This room is so much fun and so much to do. You have to work very fast. We did it with two people but it was a lot to do. Would have loved the room, in fact probably would have been in my top 10 all time easily if it weren’t for a few things. One is the GM, as great as he was, we were in the room for about 4 minutes and he already started with the nudges. He was telling us to do one thing when it was already figured out and actually cost us more time doing it how he wanted but with the same result. Secondly, there was a piece that was left out (or not cleaned up from the previous game) that allowed us to skip ahead without doing a puzzle but cost us valuable time once the GM realized we bypassed the puzzle and we had to explain that we found a piece. Next, one of the essential keys in the was pocketed by someone in the previous game and was not caught by the GM and when we explained there was nothing in the opening, it broke the immersion and caused a lull in gameplay. Lastly, there was one of the final puzzles that really made me scratch my head. We had to be told where to look and how to look because the “code” was in an area that no one would have looked at from the angle in which it needs to be. A simple paper “blowing out” or a light broadcasting would have been a much simpler and more effective solution. All in all this room was great I had fun and as much as I wanted to put it in my top 5 games o shout it out, I just couldn’t. But don’t let the above deter you. This room is definitely is a MUST do.

I loved this room. It has so many fun elements, but I truly felt like I was in a Chinese restaurant so atmosphere gets the top billing here. There were several types of puzzles and I thoroughly enjoyed the taped bits and interactive elements.

Rating: 3.5/5 - Unique theme, fun puzzles, but needs some upkeep Pros: ➕ Enjoyed the theme, apparently the owners used to own a Chinese restaurant. You can tell by how authentic the props and set are, I am Chinese and my childhood friend used to own a Chinese restaurant so it all felt very familiar. ➕ Puzzles were fun and mostly fit the theme well. There was a nice variety of tactile interactions, visual, numbers, etc. ➕ The video they recorded for the room was very entertaining and fit perfectly. ➕ Multiple areas to discover and explore. ➕ Nice mix of tech and padlocks. Lock mapping was good, not too many of the same type. ➕ Satisfying ending ➕ GM was friendly and helpful when needed. Room for improvement: ➖ There was a reset error leading to the GM pausing our game to come in the room to fix it. But then a maglock was still left open so I'm not sure if he actually fixed it. ➖ Some of the tech was finicky and not working properly. ➖ Many of the props are showing wear and tear. ➖ One character you meet just felt a bit cheap and immersion breaking. ➖ The overall vibe of the room and company is just starting to feel dated in 2026, I would've loved this room 5+ years ago. Overall this there is a lot to do even for 3 players so I'd recommend 3-5 enthusiasts. They do allow 2 person bookings if you call. My team of 1 enthusiast and 2 beginners did escape but we needed a bunch of nudges/hints.

We loved this game. It was innovative and had a ton of different types of puzzles. The game masters were super friendly and very easily accommodated us when we wanted to do a 3+ game with two people. It was a really fun activity and our first Dallas escape room!

Cool room. You definitely felt like you are in a Chinese restaurant. We struggled with just two people but it is doable with two if you dont spend too much time on individual puzzles like we did. We almost made it out but came up short. One particular puzzle was fun to start but then became downright frustrating for us. Fortunately our nice GM Joey allowed us to skip past it to keep moving forward. Big rooms and lots to do for bigger groups.

I enjoyed Wong’s Chinese Restaurant so much that I would eat here! Loved the authentic decor from an actual Chinese restaurant, with acting from the original restaurant owners. The story was hilarious and great. There are a lot of puzzles on offer for takeout, and they are all so so soy delicious. The flow is fast, so you’ll probably want big teams, though our team of 2 pandas escaped with some time to spare. GM Joey was very helpful and encouraging for our escape hiyah! We made the leaderboard because we were as swift as the coursing river! Highly recommend making an instant trip to do this nice rice room, dumpling!

Must do! The setting is unique and feels authentic (for the theme) - because it is actually based off the owners' real-life connection. You are transported to a true-to-life looking Chinese restaurant. A unique blend of puzzles, requiring a group of 4 experienced players (or a group of 5-6 with a mix of experience) to solve it successfully. The gameplay is non-linear. The mission and starting points are not obvious - requiring attention and observation - a recurring theme throughout the experience. It's a challenging experience overall but quite rewarding when you solve and make progress. Our GM was welcoming, friendly, and provided helpful nudges. Although you can get unlimited hints, any more than 3 won't count toward leaderboard eligibility. The clues are typed out on the screens - and we appreciated that the GM would pause the timer if he needed to manually input the clues. I'd recommend this room to all enthusiasts. Better to go with a team of 4-6 and split up to tackle different puzzles.

Snuck this one in on a trip to Dallas happy we did. This room is full of puzzles and originality. It has old school escape room vibes but in the best way. The story is unique and tied to the owners and the puzzles are fun. Went down to the wired on this and loved the rush. Took a strong team to get through this as many of the puzzles happen at once and you have to stay organized. There is some math but you get a calculator and it’s in theme. 🥡🥢
