H.O.W. II (House of Wang II) needs to be on the list of the BEST restaurant in North Carolina (if not the USA or Globally). The food is simply amazing. I had the pleasure to run into the owners/couple Ernie and Marenda while I was working in town, what an outstanding, impressive and lovely citizens of Kinston. There is an absolute need to visit this place if you are in town because you will NOT be dispointed here. Thanks so much for making such a great representation for the town of Kinston:) God bless America!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Nice place. I had the spicy beef plate and it was nice. My colleagues had other meat dishes, and not all were cooked as asked. One in particular asked for rare, and his steak was definitely well done, big difference. The service is very attentive and pleasant, if a little naive. Maybe a new person. I would go back for sure.

My First time in and will be my last, I had made a reservation to try this place on Saturday Oct. 18th. at 5 pm. based on a coworkers recommendation stating he knows the owner. I should have known it was going to be bad when on a Saturday evening there are only 2 other tables sat. Unfortunately the experience did not live up to his hype. I have worked in and have eaten at many steak houses in this country and even though this is not considered to be a steak house, when you offer a fillet mignon I would expect a fillet mignon. What I was given and for the cost was not a fillet mignon. The loaded bake potato I was given seemed to be from the day before and by the time I received the dish at my table all the cheese and butter had already been absorbed by the potato like it had been under a heat lamp for quite a while. I ordered a side topper of grilled shrimp for my non fillet and what I received was less then stellar in size and in cook quality. My wife's meal was equally underwhelming, the penne pasta with fried shrimp was watery and the vegetables were so steamed they turned to mush by the time it was given to us. Entirely to much batter on the fried shrimp that they were unrecognizable as to what they were. This was supposed to be my 55th birthday dinner and I was willing to try someplace new. I would have been better off to go to a fast food place to eat like Arby's that offer better beef, Or a McDonalds steak bagel. The manager did comp my meal which was the least she could have done but made no effort to ensure my wife was completely satisfied especially when she only ate 5 or 6 bites before losing her appetite. For future endeavors I would recommend to this owner to stick with what made the restaurant popular to begin with and get rid of the additional items on the menu.
