The general tso was too sweet for our likely. Tasted too much like sesame with a little bit of spice. Other than that it was good.
Been here a numbet of times. Very friendly and the food is great.
The soup and the orange chicken were way too salty. I thought I could manage through it, but I just couldn't finish it. The orange sauce was watered down, maybe from the steamed veggies? I could barely taste it, unfortunately. The steamed veggies were great and had a good crunch while being cooked through.
The drunken noodles were best. The chicken in it was perfect, so I guess just the tempura chicken in the orange peel dish was over salted. The shrimp in the drunken noodles were almost too salty, but it balanced out well in the end. I'd get the drunken noodles again in the future, but I'm hesitant to try something else.
I ordered takeout, and the cashier was wonderful.
Food tasted like it was cooked by people who looked at a recipe, but had no training. I don't consider myself a food connoisseur, and I rarely provide ratings, but I also rarely buy food and end up throwing most of it away. Got sweet and sour marinated chicken and the sauce was orange, thin, and not sweet or sour. It had chicken, pineapple, peppers, and onion in it, but it seemed like they were tossed into a wok and cooked for the same amount of time. The onion was undercooked and the chicken was overcooked. Lo mein noodles were undercooked and chewy. Hot and Sour soup was not spicy or sour, it was very sweet and smelled like beef stock. Disappointing if you expect a traditional flavor
Helpful staff upfront. Was knowledgeable of my gluten-free needs and kindly answered my questions. Ordered the wok tossed fried rice with steak and it was great. Beware, it is a huge serving. Also enjoyed the gluten free egg roll. Accompanied both of those with the gluten free soy sauce that they had available. It was a great meal for an even greater price. I would absolutely go back.
Tried this place for the first time. I ordered fried rice and sweet and sour chicken. There are no vegetables in the plain brown rice I got. The chicken was pulled off chicken wing bone tossed in cherry pineapple juice and thrown on top of the rice with some onion. Not to new age to me, go back to old recipes
Deliciousssssss!!! Made fresh, served hot!! Definitely be back
I love the Wok because the food is made fresh. Unlike most Asian restaurants, which make their food ahead of time, at the Wok you can request changes to your order. I am gluten intolerant and eat a whole food diet. The Wok is my favorite restaurant. The food quality is excellent and the owner is a good guy.
I am gluten intolerant so I ordered a gluten free egg roll and usually Asian noodles don’t bother me so I ordered lo mein noodles. A few minutes after they confirmed my order with DoorDash Josh called and said “I noticed you ordered a gluten free egg roll and our lo mein noodles. The lo mein noodles have gluten but I have gluten free noodles so I wanted to call and double check.” I am a middle school teacher and can’t always get a break so it was SO NICE to have someone make sure my intolerances are respected.
Pineapple Delight was placed in bag and all the sauce spilled into the bag, resulting in it being dry.

Excellent, friendly service and very reasonably priced. The food was very light and fresh. Will definitely return to try their other menu options.
Another great experience. The food is amazing and the staff is amazing. This is my second time and I ordered the hong Kong street noodles.

I got the kung pao steak. On the menu it said it was marinated which should mean it was tenderized from the marinade but the steak was very tough. The sauce has a very sour taste to it. It wasn’t pleasant and I wouldn’t go here for kung pao again. I tried it once before with a different meat and the sauce tasted completely different.

Seating is a bit limited, but the food is worth the drive from no matter how far away you are.
