Sans Woks did some things very well and other not as good, but as long as you stuck with the items you like, it was an overall solid spot. New owners took over about 18 months ago and I was excited, they claimed to keep the old recipes, while adding more items to the menu. On my first visit the portion was generous and the flavor was OK. The Hot and Sour was not the same, but I liked the Orange Chicken more. However, as I returned, portions got smaller, flavor got weaker and the chef ignored my requests for more heat and more seasoning. The last couple visits the food was flat out terrible and I now refuse to return. Unless they make significant changes, I don't see them remaining open. It's a slap in the face to the name, if you are not going to honor the original restaurant, CHANGE YOUR NAME.

Off of central in Kent closer to s 277th street. There was only one young person in the place with us. Two guys working the place. The owner who catered to us, and the cook. Not sure why I never heard of this place. Owner said they have been open for 3 years now. The food came out fast. We actually ordered too much we had it for three more meals at home. I think overall the food was good. Like I was telling the owner I normally drive to Canada to get Chinese food, or San Fran for dim sum. I'm pretty hard to please. But since I like to support local, I'll bring my friends here another time for lunch. The decor was minimal but nice. From the outside it looked like it was closed, and like it was a home or doctors office. It's right next to a bikini barista. So we missed it the first time. It's a brick building. The tea was really good. The perfect amount of Chinese leaves, and it was nice and hot for a cold blistery day even if it's almost spring.

Flavors were spot on, textures were amazing, and they were also really unique. I loved the truffle flavor on the shu mai, and the ham sui gok was done so well here too.

Went here planning to have dim sum for lunch, but saw they had Peking duck on the menu. I'm a big…read morefan of Peking duck and ordered the whole instead of half. In hindsight, I should have realized that a Cantonese restaurant wouldn't likely get this dish right. The "Peking duck" at Triumph Valley was actually Hong Kong style roast duck. A plate came out with the duck skin. The duck meat was nowhere on this plate. Traditionally, Peking duck meat is served in thin slices and layered under the duck skin. A large bowl was set on the table. There it was, chopped through the bone into chunks with skin, meat, and bone intact. This is a signature style of serving Hong Kong roast duck. Unsurprisingly, the flavor was not pure, natural duck flavor. Instead, it tasted of Hong Kong style with 5 spice seasoning including star anise. It was also a pain to eat because of this poor carving style. Triumph Valley didn't use the traditional thin wraps either, opting for easier steamed bao buns. Thin pancakes are the traditional choice because their light, paper-thin texture doesn't overpower the crispness and rich fat of the duck skin. Triumph Valley used bao buns because they are easier to source (frequently purchased frozen) and are simpler for kitchens to prep than handmade pancakes. Big waste of $50. Avoid the "Peking duck" if choosing to dine at this Hong Kong restaurant because it is falsely advertised there and will leave you disappointed if you have experience with actual Peking duck and appreciate its natural flavors.

Mongolian Beef (4/5): The beef is tender, savory, and pairs well with the grilled onions that add a crunchy texture. While the flavor is great, the beef-to-onion ratio leaned slightly lower than expected.

The only downside is that the breading-to-chicken ratio is heavier than ideal, meaning you get a bit less meat per bite under the coating.

VERY disappointed. I've always walked by this place and wanted to give it a try…read more Sadly, this is yet another restaurant in this area that uses full strength industrial cleaner on their tables. The smell is overpowering. 80%-90% of taste is based on smell. All I could smell was chemical cleaner and could barely taste the food. When the bus person passed by me, the smell was even worse because of the cleaner soaked rag. He was spraying it straight out of the bottle so it was full strength, not diluted. I'm pretty sure if you read the instructions on any harsh chemical like that (I think this was ZEP, by the dark purple color), instructions are to dilute it and to rinse or wipe off with water. I've very sure they do neither here. You shouldn't be using any kind of smelly, harsh chemcial to clean tables in a restaurant. Quat santizer doesn't smell and is the standard practice. Whoever is selling ZEP in this area is making a killing apparently. (I can't dine in at Triumph Valley for the same reason). Harsh chemicals shouldn't be anywhere near food. Think about that when you rescue a wayward dumpling when it bounces onto the table. yuck. Having said that, I expected the beef noodles soup to be more flavorful. The broth was just okay, not as deeply flavored as I would've expected. And the meat was just barely tender enough, but not that impressive either. Fried spring rolls were very oily and the filling was severely overcooked. Complete mush. Not good. I wish I could say better things, but I barely finished half my meal because of the chemical smell. $14.99 for beef noodle soup is a good deal if you can actually taste it. $6.25 not a good deal for mushy, oily spring rolls.

What an amazing dining experience! The food was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious! The service was fast, friendly, and incredibly efficient, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. My absolute favorite was the beef and broccoli--it was unbelievably tender, packed with flavor, and truly mouthwatering! The sweet and sour shrimp were cooked to perfection, with the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. To top it all off, the prices were incredibly reasonable, especially considering the outstanding quality of the food and service. It's not often you find a place that delivers such amazing food, generous value, and excellent service all in one. Definitely a place worth coming back to! read more

When I arrived, it was truly a café there appeared to be enough seating for about 22 people. The place was empty, but half the tables were dirty. The woman wasn't really friendly, but after the entire experience, I think her English was limited and her lack of communication was based on her lack of command of the language. The soup wasn't bad, but it was far from life-changing. I will say it was meaty. There were about 10 wontons and those wontons were 40% of the soup. The cabbage would be 10% and 50% was the broth. I also asked for some chili oil and she gave me a tablespoon of a very flavorful oil that had plenty of kick. Before I left two couple came in, the first ordered Mongolian beef and the second ordered broccoli beef. I was tempted to stick around to see what the dishes looked like, but I was tired and want to head home. Honest business and decent food, but not impressive enough for me to bring friends or return.
