    Delicious
    Fred G.

    Pop-pop, it's showtime (showtime) showtime (showtime)! Guess who's back for another amazing Yelp review? They don't know (they don't know)? Bet they know as soon as they read a couple paragraphs, it's J-Crow! What's up Yelp? I've been busy with school lately, and have only had time for a review here and there, but I thought I had to sign in and post about this awesome Chinese jawn, especially when I saw it only had 3 stars. I went here at around 6 o'clock tonight in search of a place that was still a. open b. accepted credit cards and c. wasn't on the Northside (cough cough China King). Joyful Garden delivered. I got the General Tso's with the egg roll for like $8. First off, as you can see from the picture, I just want other Chinese places to take note at the chicken/broccoli ratio. NO ONE LIKES BROCCOLI. Got it? It only adds to the aesthetics. I don't think anybody actually bothers eating them. The chicken was pretty good, not burnt, but the best part was the delicious sauce that it was drenched in. I mean they really caked that sh/it in, and I just want you to know, JG, I appreciate it. The place was also well run, and had fast service. If you're looking for Chinese on the west side, this is your place. Also, there was a sign that made me laugh. Someone already posted a pic of it, so I won't, but it was a picture of lettuce that said: "WOW!!! GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES. EAT MORE GREEN MORE HEALTHY" First off, no one gets that excited over a picture of lettuce, and also, who the hell wrote that sentence? Did the guy have a nephew with Down Syndrome and he put him in charge of the signs? And that's no disrespect to the awesome Down Syndrome community. But that is sometimes how they write. Anyway, if I didn't already sell you on this place in my review, I hope that sign will. I mean you got to eat more green more healthy bro. Eat more green more healthy bro.

    Worst experience ever! Do not waste your money! I ordered a shrimp lo mein, extra spicy no vegetables & got shrimp lo mein with extra vegetables not spicy. Called back in to let them know they made a mistake and the woman argued me down I didn't tell her my order correctly. Will never order again

    Never in my life have I been served such horrific food.

    Best Chinese in this area. China Dragon is better than typical strip mall shopping Chinese. It has…read morea few tables inside. Even so most people get it to go. The food is cheap and not bad for price. About as good as Chinese from a strip mall can possibly be. It has the menus with all the numbers for the items. They have the usual kind of stuff. Has a few vegetarian choices. The best of these is the Bean Curd With Mushroom. It's $7.50 for a good amount. This only comes in the quart size. Along with mushrooms, it also comes with lots of broccoli. The tofu is slightly crispy. I would consider ordering from here again. It's best to get carryout. There's only a few tables inside and it's kind of sticky.

    Not good. Was tricked again by Yelp with all these good reviews (now that I'm looking at them they…read morewere all a couple of years ago). My husband went to pick up some Chinese for our lunch and he said they were super rude to him. He almost walked out but we are determined to find a to go Chinese place in Wilmington. This place is cash only and apparently the lady was particular about what he gave her (wanted more change then $10 bills). Anyway got the food and he brought it back home. Lunch special was kind of small. I got the roast pork and broccoli. There wasn't that much meat which was mostly broccoli which was disappointing. The fried rice was just okay and the broccoli tasted old. We opted to pay 75 cents more to swap our can of soda (comes with combo) to an egg roll. The egg roll was just a frozen egg roll fried in very old oil. I was starving so I doused it in sauce and ate it anyway. I also had a bit of an allergic reaction eating the egg roll so maybe I'm allergic to what's in it or the oil they fried it in. Who knows. Not returning to this place thats for sure. Maybe DE just doesn't have good Chinese food in general.

    Overall: 2.75/5…read more Look, I'm a believer of second chances. Was there any redemption? Unfortunately not. Got the usual general tsos combo. Comes with the egg roll which I did not partake cuz this boy is getting chunky. Chicken: 2.75/5. The chicken meat was kinda stringy. The sauce lacked boldness in flavor - it was neither sweet nor salty nor tangy. Breading was soggy. Rice: 2.5/5 undercooked and crunchy, unfortunately. Wok Hei was mediocre at best. Their char siu pieces lacked any specific flavor. The shrimp was surprisingly the redemption factor of it. Broccoli: Two pieces, fresh Overall: 2.75/5. Will pass

    China Wok mailed out menus for their grand opening and I made a mental note to check them out and I…read moream glad I did. First I really liked their menu. It was different in a few ways, most notably it wasn't that run of the mill pink, green and white thing. Theirs was colorful and fun, great way to get my attention. And I liked that they were doing hot wings. I'm definitely down to try those however today I went with traditional Chinese. I got the Hot Pepper Chicken under the BBQ Specials and an egg roll. When the nice man handed me the bag it was heavy. When I got it home I saw why. It was packed with chicken and rice. At 5.79 I thought that was pretty awesome. And it was good and hot. Left my mouth with that tingling Szechuan sensation I've become obsessed with. I'm holding on to a star until I try the wings which comes with TEN different sauces. They even have Jerk Chicken on the menu. I would definately be curious to see what an Asian spin on a Jamaican classic would be like. Stay tuned for that review in the meantime good job China Wok!
