    General Tso's Chicken*
    Eric G.

    Food is really good. I ordered the General TOS Chicken with fried rice and a egg roll. Food is hot and full of flavor. E people are very nice and compliment the restaurant. Now on the down side. No buffet. Restaurant is very small. Has 2 tables. You order and wait and leave. But food is great. Food is A, service is A, restaurant is D.

    Yes, I a giving a Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant 5 Stars. China Wok is a combo of both, dine-in and…read morea carry-out. I primarily use it for carry-out. I think sometime in the near future, I'll try dining in. I frequently change my entree, but I always get one egg roll and an order of crab rangoon. The egg roll is larger than most Chinese restaurants. I like that it's super crispy and the inside is packed full. The crab rangoon comes with four pieces and they'll ask you if you want a side of sweet & sour sauce. If you say yes, you'll get a small cup of the red sauce like when you order Sweet & Sour Pork or Chicken. They don't give you those small packets like other restaurants. My usual go to entrees are always Beef and Broccoli or General Tso's Chicken. Both of them are very good. I do the B&B when I'm trying to eat healthy Chinese. The beef is tender and the broccoli is soft, but still has a little snap to it. When enjoying the Beef and Broccoli, I have white rice. The General Tso's Chicken has a lite crispy coating and the sauce blends perfectly with fried rice, instead of white rice. Service is over the top friendly. Kelly the owner has personality plus, is super witty and always makes sure you are a satisfied customer.

It has curry in it, just in case you're not into that. We had pork chow mein and the slabs of pork were great! Big chunks. Dark fried rice, St. Paul Sammy, pork egg rolls cooked to a perfect crisp. I really have 0 complaints. Everything was above average. This isn't 3 Michelins stars kind of good, but it's 5 Stars on Yelp good. I'm hard of hearing so I needed my wife to help hear the woman behind the counter. She was great! Very helpful and even threw an extra bag of crab Rangoon. What she didn't know is that's my wife's favorite and it was her birthday dinner. She just wanted Chinese take out from a new place. So off to Star we went and they couldn't have done it any better. I'm so glad we went and will definitely be back. Now... ambiance is EXACTLY what you'd want from a take out Chinese place. The door bell is perfect and you'll understand when you go! Just embrace it. They do! All in all, 5 China Stars, will return. Enjoy!

Curry chicken was great! Lots of chicken, could have used a few more pea pods, but nice and spicy, crisp veggies, really good. The chicken fried rice had a lot of chicken but was a little bland. Still good. I will get this again.

Ambience is a typical strip mall restaurant, but definitely on the better side. Service was friendly and despite a few minor snafus - which they handled with grace - service was good. I would rather have a service snafu handled with grace than a perfect service from an attitudinal jerk, wouldn't you? The food is where it shines. Check out the specials. We had a couple of specials and a couple of items off the menu. We split all of it and took home leftovers. The first special we got as an appetizer was Thai crab cakes. These were crab cakes not so fake breadcrumbed sugary nightmare. Real crab with almost no filler. They were small and fried (no greasy). Served with a flavorful red curry sauce that was delicious and complex. Topped with flash fried fresh basil. This was a perfect dish. We also had fresh spring rolls, pad prik with chicken, and crab fried rice. It was all delicious. The crab fried rice is also real crab. With two pepsi colas and a good tip, it was still under $80. Highly recommend. .

They are kinda strict since people have the option to not eat the crab legs you have to pay in advance and if everyone in your party isn't eating crab legs you have to specify when seated.

We tried a variety of items so I will list them and describe as I go: Crab Rangoon - fairly decent wasn't super hot Spring Roll - gooey in the center Egg Roll - sour tasting Sweet & Sour Chicken - Chicken was very dry Green Beans - no flavor Cheese Mushroom - awesome!! Great cream cheese filling very flavorful Chicken w/ broccoli - had a bit of flavor but very bland Mushrooms - very little flavor Sushi - the "fish" looked brown so I avoided it There were noodles on the floor where we were sitting and there was a can of condensed milk on the buffet open with a spoon in it ?? I also witnessed them put old food in with the fresh food on the buffet. Overall the service and the cozy atmosphere are what gives it the 2. I probably will not return.
