“This review is a bit delayed as we actually visited China Wok back in October of 2022 during our road trip from Illinois to Maine, but we were just reminiscing about that road trip and the subject came up of, "Remember that Chinese Restaurant that tasted like heaven after driving all day/night through Up-State New York and the winding Adirondack Mountain roads?" and I was inspired to look it up- and wanted to leave it the review it deserves. We hadn't had a nice hot meal for some time at that point and were getting hungry, and knew everything would likely be closed already when we got to our destination in Lake Placid. So we did a quick google search and China Wok appeared to be the only place open that time of night within a pretty big radius. So we took a short detour off our route in Tupper Lake to check it out. We walked in and immediately loved the unique atmosphere/decoration and the kind gentleman behind the counter, who we assumed was the owner, greeted us warmly right away. We had the place to ourselves given the time of night, though it looked like he had quite a few take-out orders going out. We ordered our food and he cooked it up fresh for us, and it all tasted amazing. We will always refer to it as a hidden gem nestled in the Adirondack Mountains that we were fortunate enough to come across. Every time we go out for Chinese back home in Illinois, it just doesn't compare to the memory we have of our fresh-made, late night dinner we had in Tupper Lake. If you are ever traveling through and needing a hot meal like we were- definitely recommend you give it a try.We fell in love with the Adirondacks after this road trip and will definitely visit again. And when we do, we hope to visit China Wok again too!“
