Sesame Chicken and Fried Rice

We were looking for a new place for casual Chinese food after our go to place shut down. Chen Wok nailed it! Amazing food and huge portions. The dinner combos a great deal! My daughter got the beef and broccoli and our son got the pork fried rice. They both mentioned that the vegetables tasted very fresh. It is also the first place we've found where the fried rice is brown...like we are used to back east. The amazingly friendly staff was the icing on the cake.

No one's doing it like Angie's! I was in the area and heard about their $4.99 salads through an…read moreemail I got today. I'm not a lobster fan but they have so many options besides that, including shrimp, other seafood, salads, bowls and burritos. They offered discounted salads last year and I loved supporting them, so I'm glad they brought them back. I came at a great time, around 430, as there was no line. I ordered my favorite: the Asian salad (cucumbers, sweet potatoes, red onions, broccoli) with grilled chicken, half spinach half romaine. I also got their spicy honey ranch salad (tomatoes, cucumbers, fried onions, corn, pepper jack cheese) with falafel, same base. The second salad comes with a ranch packet *and* a spicy honey packet, very generous. I enjoy the mix of flavors and textures of both of these salads. I ate one same day and saved the other for the next day (I've asked for protein on the side to make it easier to heat up). The employee who took my order and gave me my food was friendly. Make sure you have a credit/debit card or phone because no cash is accepted. The only off thing was that I was given forks in my bag, which hasn't happened before. They're big on sustainability and don't have straws, napkins and silverware are available by choice. Such a great deal and it's a filling meal. Definitely recommend Angie's and really hope they open up more locations, especially near me!

I placed an order to go and it was ready for pick up by the time I got there. My cold brew tasted amazing and I was in and out really quickly. The person who handed me my order was also really kind. This is going to be my new go to when I need to grab a quick lunch or breakfast or both because they have an amazing deal too!

The tacos looked fantastic, but they were mostly a miss for me…read more 4 Star - the shrimp taco is going to carry this overall score. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and stayed crispy. Just really nice flavors. 3 Star - the pastor had good flavor. There was no char and was simply okay. Not for me- the marlin was mush wrapped in tortilla. Just not a fan of how it was prepared. The asada was chopped to the size of finely chopped onions, with no char. The salsas were all underwhelming. The atmosphere was very laid back and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly. If you want a really good shrimp taco, stop by! 3*** = Good but no separation from similar restaurants 4**** = Set themselves a part with quality food and I want to go back. 5*****= You have to go out of your way and make a special trip to try the deliciousness that is there!

We also got the agua chile verde and mango habanero aguachile. Shrimp was very fresh and the pulpo (octopus) was also very tasty. Coconut dish with the shrimp, coconut meat, pulpo was great. Had a unique flavor too it. Fish tacos were crispy and had some pretty good size fish in it. Toppinga and chipotle sauce were pretty fire too. Junior had amazing service and was very friendly. Ask to try his hot sauce that he makes. Has a nice fiery kick too it for the spice lovers Overall very satisfied with this spot and will for sure be coming back!

Ever since I saw a Morton's in Minneapolis over 30 years ago, I'd been wanting to eat there. My…read morehusband surprised me with a reservation at the Waddell (AZ) restaurant recently. I was disappointed. I'll start with the positives - the service was impeccable. Absolutely perfect! Attentive, not too much, not too little, and very pleasant. The food was good. Not great, given the prices, but very good. What really, really bothered me was the environment. There is supposed to be a dress code for all Morton's restaurants across the country. This particular location clearly did not enforce it. People were there in flip flops, swimsuit cover, bandanas around their heads, torn t-shirts, shorts, and other sloppy clothing. When I come to a restaurant and pay at least $72 for a steak, I expect the dress code to be enforced. It was truly disappointing. As a side note, not that this is the restaurant's responsibility, but if you are coming to a high-end restaurant, learn some manners. I'm talking to the 30-ish woman sitting near us who was talking loudly, licking the bowls and her plate, chewing with her mouth open, and food was falling out, and allowed her cell phone to ring loudly while she ignored it and kept on with her disruptive and inappropriate behavior. She was dressed in a faded, frayed t-shirt, and dirty shorts. This is not how any neurotypical adult should behave in an upscale restaurant (truly, any restaurant). Anyway, overall, I was disappointed, and so was my husband. We like to frequent high end steakhouses, and we both agreed that Morton's would be last on our list to come to again.

They open at 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon. It's Restaurant Week (mid May) and ALSO there are daily…read morespecials for Happy Hour - if you sit in the bar area only. My bartender is very nice, courteous, and helpful. Ask for Janet, tell her Steve sent you. Obviously, she can get you an adult beverage, but she's happy to give you a menu and take your order. Small loaf of bread is included. I recommend you say yes. Enjoy the food. Top notch

She was so kind, super attentive, and made a point to make eye contact and engage with everyone at the table. It was my dad's birthday, and they brought out a birthday treat for him, which was such a nice, thoughtful touch. However, the check-in process was very uncomfortable. The host who greeted us didn't make eye contact with me at all, a person with a disability. Instead of speaking to me directly, he asked the person I was with if I needed a child's menu. As an adult, being talked about rather than talked to was rude and honestly pretty embarrassing. It would have been much more professional to provide standard menus for everyone or just ask me directly if I needed anything specific. The kitchen definitely knows what they are doing. Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious: The bread and butter were warm and a great start. We had the bruschetta and a shrimp appetizer, both were hits. Our table ordered the cheeseburger and fries, the salmon, and two orders of the short ribs. Everyone loved their meal and had zero complaints about the food quality. The restaurant was packed and had a high-energy vibe, but the music was way too loud, it made it a bit hard to talk. The lighting was also a bit strange; it was very dark, and at several points, the lights would flicker or completely turn off and on again, which was a bit distracting. If you want to go on a Sunday evening like we did (6:00 PM), definitely plan ahead! We made our reservation a couple of days before, but by the time our day arrived, they were completely booked. I'd recommend making a reservation at least a week in advance to be safe. I would definitely come back for the food and the excellent waitstaff service, but I really hope management works with their hosting team on how to treat every guest with basic respect and direct communication.
