"Was Voted Top 100 Chinese Healthy Menus in the US in 2010"
And so it was, 17 restaurants later, Ryan and I were headed through the doors of China Wok. This chinese restaurant is different from most little "hole-in-the-wall" chinese restaurants. China Wok actually has plenty of booths so that you can sit in the restaurant and enjoy your meal as opposed to being limited to take out. We decided to do just that, and shortly after, the waiter/cook/cashier came out and gave us a menu and ordered our drinks. Ryan, as usual, ordered a water with a diet coke. I am cheap, so I just order a water every time. The waiter then brought out Ryans coke in a can, like one you would get in a vending machine. If anything, pour the can of soda in a glass to make it look more presentable!
Once again, Ryan and I ordered our favorite Chinese dish, General Tso's Chicken, with a side of rice and an egg roll. Our egg rolls arrived almost immediately after and served as a nice appetizer. We weren't too impressed with the eggrolls, but that's okay because the main entree made up for it. We didn't have to wait to long to receive our food. The general Tso's chicken was cooked to perfection! Each piece was nice and crisp on the outside and a little chewy on the inside making a perfect texture. It is a little spicy which added a nice "bite" to it but if you don't like spicy foods, be sure to tell them that upon ordering. The rice was done very well and had pits of meat and peas mixed in as well. My two pieces of broccoli were not as warm as I would have liked but after all, I am not a huge fan of brocolli to begin with. The sauce on the general Tso's chicken was delicious as well! The menu had so many choices that you could come back again and again and order something new every time!
The best part: I now have leftovers for another lunch! Hooray!
Now for some areas of improvement: Since our "waiter" was a cook, cashier and everything in between, I never got a refill on my water and was left to suck on ice cubes as my tongue was burning from all the spices. At the end of the meal, we sat there for a good 10 minutes until another lady that was working there came out and asked us if I wanted a box for my leftovers. Finally, our "waiter" came out later and we had to ask him for our check in which he replied that we need to come out in the lobby to pay. It was confusing and we wasted time just waiting. There should be a sign or something!
I recommend the food at China Wok because the General Tso's chicken is some of the best General Tso's that I have ever had! However, the service and environment could use some work!
**China Wok is open 7 days a week and they do accept credit cards, but not checks!**
