WEATHERFORD<\/p>\n

The Teddy Wong\u2019s phenomenon has come to Weatherford, blazing a trail on the courthouse square<\/a> that will be home to at least two other<\/a> major restaurants.<\/p>\n

For the first month, master dumpling chef Patrick Ru<\/a>\u2019s upscale Chinese restaurant and wine bar drew such crowds that reservations were booked solid in the little corner space at 102 Houston Ave.<\/p>\n

Now, you can finally book a dinner reservation on Teddy Wong\u2019s Resy.com site..<\/p>\n

But only at 4 p.m. Or 8:30. Or, if you\u2019re lucky, maybe 4:45.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how popular Teddy Wong\u2019s is after three years of smash success in Fort Worth at 812 W. Rosedale St.<\/p>\n

The new Weatherford location isn\u2019t any different from the original.<\/p>\n

But the crowd is.<\/p>\n

Fort Worth customers come for Ru\u2019s award-winning soup dumplings, hot oil wontons and Peking duck.<\/p>\n

So far, the Weatherford favorites are red meat: Mongolian-style Texas beef and wagyu beef pot stickers, along with old-guard Chinese restaurant favorites such as kung pao shrimp and orange chicken.<\/p>\n

Teddy Wong\u2019s is better at the old-guard favorites than any Fort Worth restaurant in memory, and the kung pao shrimp lived up to that on a recent visit.<\/p>\n

The flavor is what you expect, but at Teddy Wong\u2019s every ingredient is distinct. The peppers and onions taste like fresh vegtables, not like an unrecognizable stir-fry. The shrimp were medium-sized, more than a bite, and plentiful.<\/p>\n

For $15-$20, the entrees could easily be split.<\/p>\n

Pick one entree to share and make room for Ru\u2019s dumplings (pork, chicken or veggie.<\/p>\n

Leave more room for a stunning dessert: chocolate \u201cdumplings\u201d with chocolate sauce and an immaculately sliced strawberry.<\/p>\n

The first few days were bumpy, but on this day every dish showed the precision and flavor that Teddy Wong\u2019s has become known for in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s open for lunch and dinner daily. Book reservations at resy.com<\/a>..<\/p>\n
