    Cross Contamination gave me a horrible case of #Colitis. Stay away from HOT WOK #ChalmetteLA #Spinachcasserole #badfoodprep #violentvomit

    I STRONGLY caution you against using this restaurant. Chalmette does not have a lot to offer in terms of food that is not processed or fresh food that you can enjoy without making poor choices. Hot Wok offers dishes that offer fruit and veggies, BUT... they are NOT SANITARY. I recently purchased a to go meal that incorporated their vegetables and included the SPINACH CASSEROLE. I became very ill and experienced VIOLENT VOMITTING that was later diagnosed as CROSS CONTAMINATION by the ER. I have never been so sick before and it has cost me more than the overpriced meal. The SPINACH dish was compromised and I felt it necessary to warn others about this place. DO NOT EAT HERE... just grab a BURGER. The consumer DESERVES quality for their food choices; not COLITIS. Beware! PS: You have to rate at least one star.... I would not offer any stars if I didn't have to arbitrarily.

    Crawfish

    It's your typical Chinese buffet. I am a crawfish lover so that's the main reason I go; to get them in the off season. They have good flavor and are juicy. Can't beat $15 for all you can eat crawfish!

    Fried Crabs are just out of this world.

    Let's face it when you've been to one Chinese Buffet you've been to then all right! Not so fast, this one has fried Crabs. Yes fried crabs. Lord have mercy those are so good. When I go back I'll probably eat just the fried crabs. There was all the usual favorites you would expect at the Buffet and some not so usual items. Raw Oysters, boiled Crayfish, boiled Shrimp, fried Fish, baked Fish as well as Sushi. Salads galore as well as fresh fruit. But did I mention the fried Crabs. I'm going back and when I do I hope I'm not going to be sorry that I wrote this review because they are sold out. Fried Crabs!

    Hot Wok is decent, but not great. The best, most fresh and healthy tasting item there would be the Mongolian grill in the back. The sushi in the back is also okay, nothing wowza. But before you see either of those things, what you notice is six long buffets with chafing tables inside of them and a recessed ceiling all neon-lit and colorful. One of the tables has mostly salad bar type stuff. Another has mostly fruit (ack, please peel the kiwi, right? Is it just me who'd expect the skin to be removed?). There are Chinese meat dishes and green mussels and some sort of octopus something-or-other and the full range of fried American and Chinese foods - egg rolls, shrimp (2 kinds), fish, fries, wontons, chicken nuggets, etc. There's also pizza, macaroni & cheese, noodles, boiled shrimp. And soup - egg drop, hot & sour, maybe another. The hot & sour soup is surprisingly edible. This is such a hard soup to nail, or so it'd seem based on how many terrible bowls of what-should-be-awesomeness I've had, so I give Hot Wok credit for making a hot & sour I actually eat every time I go there. The desserts are okay - more fun for the kids than actually tasty, the exceptions being the pudding and the ice cream. Still, Hot Wok is convenient, and you start eating as soon as you can fix up a plate, so it's a nice place to bring the kids. I'm sure I'll return soon.

    a plate of fried chicken and green beans

    This is probably the worst buffet food I've ever tasted. The food was all cold. The hot wok, orange, and fried chicken were hard, not crunchy, but hard and very dry. The lo mein had no flavor. Nothing really had good flavor. Very unappetizing. If you know the taste of your freezer, that is what the chicken tastes like. I guess the string beans were okay.

    Looks appealing? Probably not, this is no the best Chinese buffet. Actually I don't think I've ever been to a good one yet....

    Hair in my food, food is cold and service is bad and people were really rude. And prices are way to high. Would not recommend.

    Nice family owned restaurant with many options, both Chinese & seafood. The chochos were tasty &…read morecrispy. I had the general tso lunch special which came with shrimp fried rice & egg roll. Also had the seafood boil bag. I picked the Cajun seasoning and spice level hot. It was not thatttt spicy but it was flavored very well. The sauce is so good & if you like fiery crab you will love this place just as much or even more. Got a free drink for leaving a Google review & that was very easy to do because the staff is so friendly & accommodating. I used to come here as a kid but it's been remodeled and more menu items have been added since then. Going to def be here more frequently now.

    Was looking for some Chinese food relatively close to my house. I came across Tea Garden on here of…read morecourse and was impressed by their menu, pictures posted by fellow Yelpers, and the reviews. I gave them a try, calling in and placing my order for pickup. I enjoyed the General Tso's chicken combo that came with pork fried rice and an egg roll. I thoroughly enjoyed my food, as well as the leftovers. The food was fresh and still piping hot when I got home. This will be one of my go to Chinese restaurants, with a number of other items I would like to try. Located in On Elysian Fields in Gentilly, great place to stop in for pickup or dine in. There are a few parking stops in front of the location, and also a small lot around the corner.
