mmm-yoso!!! is the food blog and Cathy is today's blogger, not reviewer. (Reviewers get paid to do stuff like this.) Kirk and ed (from Yuma) are busy with other stuff.
If you have been East on University Avenue, you've seen this place. 
Wong's Golden Palace has been in La Mesa for about 42 years.
You can tell by the exterior.
You can tell by the decor.
as well as the tabletops…
and sturdy ceramic dinnerware.
Then there is the menu .
We had been here years ago, but not lately and chose some items we felt were pretty 'safe'… 
and to satisfy a craving I had…
Egg Foo Young ($6) and chicken liver chow mein ($7.00)
I always like my egg foo young to be vegetables only, no meat. This serving was three patties, properly fried, and served with gravy, but it was a very plain white gravy which had no flavor, only a smooth texture. The patties were mostly bean sprouts with some onions and all was crispy but not overly flavored. I had to add soy sauce to give it some 'kick'.
The chow mein noodles (soft, not fried) were excellent. There were at least 12 chicken livers sauteed without a batter or flour and quite a bit of carrots, onions, fresh and plump snow peas and bean sprouts.
Our third dish was the "Wong's Special Sizzling" ($9.50). A large sizzling platter of chicken, shrimp, ham, mushrooms, onions and more of the fresh snow peas. Served "spicy"…
You read that right. Ham.
It was pretty much BBQ pork without the glow-in-the-dark-pink coloring.
Really, I see more people here in the bar area, and the American menu. Even in the morning on weekends.
…but I just can't take pictures. The $6 Steak and eggs or pork chop and egg breakfast is a great deal…
The Mon-Fri 1/2 pound burger and beer is quite nice, for those of you who want a beer at 11 a.m. The burger is cooked to order; they will make it medium rare and it is very good. The bun is toasted. Again, eating alone in a bar on a Tuesday taking photos was just not in the cards for me. It was kind of sad that I was drinking alone anyhow…
Not fancy, not fantastic, but still bringing in patrons daily.
