Fun Place To See & Be Seen

Wang's is swank as ever! This Palm Springs hot spot feels luxurious with its gorgeous décor and majestic outdoor patio and the men here are beautiful. Though “snooty” service sometimes is part of the package, what with throngs of “out-of-towners” and an occasional bitchy drunk it’s understandable. What I don’t understand is how so many people say the food is great. Reviewers are blinded to the flat and tasteless food because of the beautiful clientele. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore the whole atmosphere but I think the food is ordinary and has little to do with anything Asian. But I love to go there for drinks and ogle at the gorgeous crowd.

Don't miss it next time you are in PS

If you like great Chinese food, chic atmosphere, and a good value, this is your place. Excellent pot stickers and tangerine beef, beside many other choices in the menu. Stylish décor makes it memorable. Popular with the gay community in PS. Bar is always crowded and you will see interesting people here.

Best Asian food

Great food and service. Friday nite mixer is a don't miss. Ignore the "too noisy" idiotic comment below... This is not a library! I've been here no less than 30 times with no complaints. On weekends suggest you make reservations...the idiot below didn't...so he waited. Duh! Sorry princess...we all didn't bow and die when you showed up! Yes it can be loud...but what restuarant/bar filled to capacity with gay men having fun isn't? Hey princess... The Vatican Library will seat you now. LOL

A MUST WHEN VISITING PALM SPRINGS

Wang's is always on our list of places to venture to on each visit. On Friday or Saturday nights it's best make reservations. The food is wonderful, the crowd is fun in the bar area before dinner. The service is always great. Asian food is not my favorite type of food, but it's so good here, I will keep coming back.
