Story

Located in Salt Lake City's historic Patrick Lofts building and just steps away from the Salt Palace, J. Wong's offers downtown diners fresh and sophisticated Thai and Chinese cuisine in a stylish, contemporary setting. The menu honors the Wong family's Thai and Chinese roots, featuring traditional favorites and modern interpretations. Open Monday-Saturday for lunch, and every day for dinner.

J Wong’s Thai and Chinese Bistro opened at the end of 2009 in the Patrick Dry Goods building located at 163 West 200 South in Downtown Salt Lake City. The Wong family, namely the four brothers (Jason, Josh, Jordan, and Jesse) had grown up in and around the restaurant business and wanted to open a spot of their own where they could share some of their heritage. Having their mom from Thailand, visiting many different places in Thailand, and growing up eating delicious Thai food; added to a list of Thai cuisine they wanted to share with everyone. Then theres the Chinese side. Their dad having come from China, and already owning and cooking in several Chinese restaurants, gave the Wongs a list of Chinese cuisine that would also be a central part of the menu. When J Wong’s Thai & Chinese Bistro was created, it wasn’t limited to just one style of food. The brothers decided to have the option of both, and created a Utah restaurant that could offer both Thai food and Chinese food.

J Wong’s doesn’t want to limit anyone from eating our food. When creating the menu many staples were removed in order to be the perfect size, but this caused a pain in the back of our mind because we knew we could execute those ever so popular Thai and Chinese dishes that had been left off. We also knew that some dishes just wouldn’t do well for take out that had been included on our dine in menu, so we decided to create a dedicated menu to takeout & delivery. This is where we could include staple dishes like Beef & Broccoli or Sweet & Sour Pork. This also gave the opportunity for those that don’t dine in at J Wong’s to eat our great food. That way J Wong’s has an offering for everyone, whether it be our Thai food specialties or Chinese classics.

Delivery was something that was a keystone for J Wong’s even before it existed. We knew that a Salt Lake City food delivery service would provide people around downtown an opportunity to eat if they didn’t have a way or the time to come over to the restaurant. Delivery was a medium to offer a great meal, be it Thai food, Chinese food, or a mix. People that are just visiting Salt Lake City, or that live up in the Avenues, or that just happen to be in proximity to downtown could now get great Thai and Chinese via delivery strait to their door or office. Delivering great Thai & Chinese food has become a large part of J Wong’s. When J Wong’s was established there wasn’t any Thai food delivery service in Salt Lake City. There wasn’t a Chinese food delivery service in Downtown Salt Lake City either. This was why making a carryout and delivery service a priority for J Wong’s.
