China Wok

I had mixed feelings about our experience. The food was very good, but the service was frustrating…read more The person who took our order seemed irritated when I had trouble understanding the difference between two dishes I was asking about. Another young employee (a child really) repeatedly came to our table when we were almost finished asking if we needed boxes, but then seemed annoyed when we changed our mind on the type of container. After we put cash on the table for a tip, she repeatedly asked, "Is that tip?" and then grabbed it before we had even left. I also ordered takeout for my husband. It was missing the plum sauce for two egg rolls. She didn't believe me and had to search the entire bag, then gave me only enough for one egg roll. When I asked for more, the child employee acted irritated and initially said she could not give me more. When my friend paid her bill in cash, the child then asked, "Do you want it all back?" even though she had just taken our tip from the table a few minutes earlier. When I got home, I also discovered that the large wonton soup came with barely enough crispy noodles for half the soup. Overall, the food was very good, but the service--particularly from this child employee--felt unnecessarily irritated and surprisingly stingy.

Great service and wonderful place to eat. We really enjoyed all the food we ate there.read more

Otherwise the food was good per usual I got the General Tso chicken, which is a bit spicy but they gave me a lot of shrimp fried rice and a lot of pieces of chicken as well.

I think that would be good . Last time I was in, they could not give me a receipt, and the amount that he told me was almost 3 dollars more when it came through my debit card in my bank! Not acceptable in my book.

So disappointed with Wong's Garden tonight…read more I hadn't had Chinese food in months and was really craving it, so naturally I went back to what had always been my go-to spot for sesame chicken and General Tso's chicken. One of the things I always loved about Wong's Garden was that their chicken had that wonderful deep-fried crispiness that held up even after getting it home and throughout the meal. I also appreciated that their egg rolls were filled with bean sprouts rather than being packed with cabbage. Tonight, unfortunately, was a completely different experience. We ordered sesame chicken, a General Tso's combination dinner, vegetable lo mein, a pint each of egg drop and hot and sour soup, and crab wontons. After the additional credit card fee and a tip, we were at $80 for takeout. A little sticker shock, sure, but I figured we could consider it a midweek date night and enjoy a meal we'd been looking forward to. That excitement disappeared pretty quickly. Both the sesame chicken and General Tso's chicken were incredibly mushy. Not a bit of that signature fried crunch I remembered. And this wasn't because the food sat around getting soggy. I arrived just as our order came out of the kitchen and was home, unpacking it in my kitchen, within five minutes. It honestly made me wonder whether they've changed their recipe or preparation. As disappointing as it is to say, I've had better sesame chicken at the mall food court. But the texture wasn't even the worst part. There was a very strange, off-putting flavor that seemed to carry through nearly every dish. I can't quite describe it other than a musty, almost perfume-like taste. It was distinctive enough that I noticed the same flavor in multiple items, and it completely ruined the meal for me. Oddly enough, the egg roll and crab wontons were the only things that didn't seem to have it. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, especially for a local restaurant I've enjoyed and recommended in the past. I actually hadn't planned on writing a review tonight, which is why I didn't take any photos. We ended up throwing most of the food away after eating the egg roll and crab wontons, and I figured I'd just chalk it up to a disappointing $80 dinner. But as I sat here afterward, I couldn't shake that strange, off-putting taste that seemed to be present in nearly everything we ordered. Just thinking about it was making me feel nauseated. I still can't put my finger on what that flavor was, but it was unpleasant enough that I felt compelled to write this review, even if only as a reminder to myself of why I won't be returning. It's especially disappointing because Wong's Garden used to be a place I could count on when I wanted good Chinese takeout. Unfortunately, it's time to find a new go-to Chinese restaurant. If anyone has recommendations for a great local spot, especially one that makes genuinely crispy sesame or General Tso's chicken, I'd love to hear them!

For myself I got the Szechwan beef with vegetables, crab Rangoon and a spring roll. Pros: Plenty beef, tasty and tender. The vegetables were plentiful, hearty and loads of flavor. My wife says both her chicken dishes were delicious .... And we both enjoyed the well prepared crab Rangoons. Cons: The "Szechwan" was not spicy at all. I asked for medium to hot.

It seems they have a new chef, or new recipes? The Cashew Chicken the last two times had raw pale cashews instead of pan-roasted. The main vegetable, celery, was completely raw and crunchy. But the worst part was the sauce: they left it out two times in a row. It was water. Just water. No salt, no soy sauce, nothing but water on raw cashews. What happened? I tried cooking it but you know, it's a matter of taking each piece of chicken out so it won't get overcooked, heating the wok, drying the celery and cashews after taking them out of the water, so I can get the expected sear, etc. The thing is, I GOT CARRY-OUT SO I WOULDN"T HAVE TO COOK. A side note: I ordered the same dish at another restaurant, one I'd never tried before. Their celery was cooked, but they, too, had put plain water as the "sauce" and and no discernable seasoning. What is going on? Am I missing something? Are they now selling meal "kits" you're supposed to cook, season, and sauce before eating? If so, can they leave the water out?

I was looking for a Chinese restaurant. I used YELP to help me find one. After looking at many…read morerestaurants, I saw and read that 1st Wok had good reviews so I decided to go there. Now, my first impression of 1st Wok was a hesitant one. It's not set in the best of plazas. There closed businesses that surrounded them. I didn't know if I should get out of the car but I did. When entering the establishment again I was hesitant. It's not the best looking restaurant. Definitely needed a paint job. There were 3 booths for dining in but they were taken up by supply boxes, one of their kids was watching their tablet and the other booth had a child sleeping in it. I hadn't planned on eating there anyway. There was a customer there waiting for their meal. I asked him if he came here often and he said yes with no hesitation. He said the food was good. Ok. The woman behind the counter was very nice. I asked questions about the food, especially the ABC, Almond Boneless Chicken, a specialty in Michigan Chinese restaurants and she answered every question with pleasure. I ordered the ABC combo which consisted of chicken fried rice, almond boneless chicken, a chicken/pork egg roll & chicken flavored gravy. The price was reasonable. When I got home and opened the foam container there was so much food I couldn't believe it. Definitely worth the price. Now, how does it taste. The egg roll was a little different. Crunchy on the outside with a different consistency on the inside but tasty. I've never had a chicken/pork egg roll before. It was bad. I had asked for plain fried rice instead of chicken fried rice and that's what I got. It was a mountain of rice, enough for 3 or 4 people!! WOW!! There had to have been a least 10 pieces of crispy chicken with green onion pieces on top. Again, enough for 3 people. The gravy, though different to me was very good on top of the chicken and rice. This was an excellent meal. I ate this combo dinner for 3 days in a row and every day I ate it was a treat. Tasted like day one. Overall..... The Almond Boneless Chicken (ABC) combo meal was really good and tasty, all 3 days!! Despite the dingy environment, I'm going back to try something else. Maybe beef pepper steak this time. Give 1st Wok a try. The ABC is really good!! Peace and Good Food
