    Joy Wo
    Jeff H.

    My quest for the perfect (if there is one) Chinese take out continues as I dismiss Joy Wo Chinese Kitchen from my list and from my memory. While taking care of some errands in the shopping center, I decided I would try Joy Wo for lunch. Their menu is like any other and prices are average, however, there was such a horrible smell emanating from Joy Wo I was weary about going in. No scents of General Tso's frying up or lo mein being stir fried. I stepped a foot inside, could barely breath, felt like throwing up and left. Wo soldier, stay away. Parking lot in front, but it appears to be under construction right now.

    I happened to be passing China Wok on my way home one evening, and being new to the area, thought…read moreI'd give it a try. I'm exceedingly glad I did. I have a really hard time finding egg rolls that don't disappoint. Theirs had plenty of pork, were well-flavored, with a nice, crispy wrapper. I also ordered garlic beef with eggplant and scallions. The beef was plentiful and tender as butter, and the eggplant was cooked perfectly. Very tasty, and about three servings worth. I also got scallion pancakes, not always easy to find, and shrimp toast. Both were excellent. China Wok is certainly not the closest Chinese takeout to where I live, but I'll gladly make the trip. Definitely give this place a try.

    A simple thing like scallion pancakes could be so delightful when made properly. Tried the scallion…read morepancakes tonight and they are absolutely amazing and I found out from the owner that they're actually handmade homemade by the chef which makes the world of difference. The dipping sauce was just terrific to go with it. I also had the seafood over pan fried noodles, which was exceptionally good with fresh seafood, crispy vegetables, and the pan fried noodles made perfectly. The broccoli and Chinese eggplant was another stand out hit.This great spot that does a great job. fresh and made to order. Friendly service!

    Consistent great quality Chinese take out food. I believe it's the best in central north shore…read moreSuffolk area (Port Jeff-Riverhead). Chicken is always hot/crispy and perfectly sauced. Egg Rolls taste fresh and full of flavor. Wontons are made in house and full of meat especially their soup that they add extra pork and scallions. BBQ spare ribs are juicy, smoky and fall off the bone. Fried rice has good amount of pork and onions. Busy (good sign) so definitely order ahead (average time ready is about 25 mins) but worth it. 100% repeat customer. This is my 'Go-To' Chinese food place.

    This was our first visit to Sung Wo, as we're never impressed by the local selection of Chinese…read morefood.. all the same low quality meat, questionable chicken thata so dry and chewy, but we never realized Sung Wo was close by and highly recommended. I have to say, overall, we were satisfied and happy we gave it a go. The staff was attentive and patient when we called in, repeated the order and gave us a price and time frame for pick up. 20 minutes on the dot I arrived to a fairly busy, but clean and neat small storefront. Sauces on a table for convenience, and a couple of cases of drinks as well. The kitchen appeared busy and transparent; you could see them cooking and packing everything fresh right in front, behind the counter (a reassuring thing!). Staff seemed friendly and honorable, reminding me to grab a free 2 L soda for my purchase. Waited 5 minutes and walked out with a piping hot and heavy bag, very well packed (bonus points for neat and no spillage). Also, definitely loved that we could order white meat, no MSG, and I guarantee you that no other Chinese food place comes close to being real like Sung Wo. We 100% could taste and tell the difference! Absolutely refreshing to eat actual white meat chicken and have it look and taste great. You can totally taste the quality and difference between the other spots. The chicken was crispy, delicious, and didnt leave us feeling gross and regretful like other local spots. I highly recommend Sung Wo, and gladly accept them as our new Chinese food spot! What we got: Orange chicken with white rice Orange chicken spicy with brown rice Eggplant in garlic sauce Chicken in lobster sauce Crab Ragoons Everything was great, orange chicken was crispy, clean sauce that wasn't caked on but enough to reheat. Plenty of bright broccoli, and the chicken wasn't dry, chewy or overcooked- a huge plus! Seriously, I hate ordering and expecting good food and getting stringy, questionable meat that is random long cuts of whatever. These were nice, consistent chunks of crispy outside, obvious white meat chicken! Crab ragoons were delicious and full of flavor, chicken lobster sauce was great with plenty of substance. The only thing that wasn't impressive was the eggplant in garlic sauce. Surprisingly, it came fried and too thick compared to the soft, grilled eggplant we would usually get. Definitely would try with asking for grilled. Another thingl, they are very accommodating, will cook to your liking, and really seem to have made a great name for themselves. I honestly can say that we were super happy and relieved to have found a great Chinese place less than 5 minutes away. We definitely will order again! All in all, great first visit and best Chinese in the area by FAR!

Once I let that go and ordered one and experienced all its gloriousness, I was hooked! This is a chicken sandwich with an Asian spin. Chicken is moist and flavorful, as if it had been marinated before placing the delectable fried coating on. The homemade sauce served with it takes it over the top. And those pickles? They are one of a kind. You NEED to try this sandwich! If you are looking for traditional Chinese American takeout, this is not it. The cuisine at Mama Chan's is many steps above (not that I dont enjoy traditional takeout, i do!) The food at Mama Chan's is like being at a friend's family feast where their mom is a fabulous cook! The Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup is like a warm hug on a chilly day, soooo tasty and satisfying. On a day when I was not feeling so well, this did the trick! Can I tell you that I dream about this soup?! It's THAT good. We also tried the Sesame Chicken (which is served as tenders---big juicy pieces!) with a great rice on the side, and the Steamed Pork Dumplings, which were exquisite. The dumplings are made by hand and are a little on the pricey side, but they are of good quality and you are definitely getting what you pay for. The dipping sauce that comes with them was great. Rounding out the dishes we have tried over a few visits are the Fried rice and Garlic Udon, both were very tasty amd enjoyable. On my next visit I want to try the Braised Pork Belly Bowl and the Sautéed Sting Beans. Although all my orders were takeout, I would like to comment that service was exceptional. The owner, Diana, greets you with a smile and is very personable. Food is prepared as promised, on time, and with care. They even provide utensils. And this is just one of the many reasons I am a returning customer. Did I forget to mention the Beef Noodle Soup?! You need this soup! Go try Mama Chan's!!! :)

Menu is typical for this style restaurant. Kids always go for sushi. They don't even need a menu. Just like sushi pros. I like to mix it up a bit trying different things.

Well those little boobas have me wraparound their fingers so whatever they want I will give them. I'll probably go without them too.
