This carryout was a bit more pricey than others in the same area but the cashier was friendlier than most. Their dumplings were HUGE ... the biggest I've seen ... but didn't match the amount of stuffing. *Sigh* Also, unfortunately, their straight soy sauce wonton soup was DISGUSTING. Whyyyy aren't they using plain broth?!?! Should have followed my instinct after the cashier's disclosure. TBH probably won't return out of fear of getting another favorite with different ingredients but I'm curious to hear YOUR review. Go visit and tell them you saw it on Yelp.

Mother's Day dinner at Soulwok was honestly such a pleasant surprise…read more We ordered the honey chicken, General Seoul chicken with broccoli, the half & half drink, berry lemonade, and a virgin mojito -- and everything had really good flavor. The broccoli was still crisp (not overdone at all), portions were HUGE, and we had enough leftovers after splitting two entrées between three people. Now listen... I'm used to a more luxe dining experience but for what this concept is? They did a really good job. The staff was warm and attentive, the food came out quickly, and there was no pressure to rush through dinner or give up your table. The early 2000s throwback music had me in full nostalgia mode the entire time A small thing to know beforehand: * Forks and straws are already provided * If you want a spoon or knife, just ask What I really enjoyed though was the concept itself. It feels like taking the familiarity of the neighborhood carryout experience and elevating it into something more intentional and community-centered. The blend of Asian flavors with African American influence/storytelling makes the brand feel distinct and memorable. And based on the amount of carryout orders flying out while we were sitting there... I genuinely would not be surprised if they expand to a second location soon. If you want an affordable dinner spot with generous portions, good flavor, casual vibes, and a relaxed atmosphere, definitely check them out.

I usually get the general tso's chicken, beef chow fun, and a large hot n sour soup, and it's enough to feed our family of four. I usually prefer authentic Chinese food but once in a while I crave for some classic Americanized dishes as well! I can tell that the food is not loaded with MSG and grease like some other places. I also like the new, clean, and modern look of the place. The nice gentleman gave my son a free soda one time - thank you!

The Singapore style noodles were watery and bland. I'm thinking instead of it being Mei fun, it's probably angle hair spaghetti because the texture is different and very watery. They use spaghetti for their Lo Mein dishes, which i dislike. The egg drop soup taste like water. There is absolutely no flavor to it.

I LOVE their steak and cheese egg roll but damnnnn $5 is a lot. I still like their hot and sour soup. The general tso's is my partner's go-to, but it's a solid 3, at best. Occasionally, we will order it and it will be like a 4.5 because they've got somebody in the kitchen who really cares, but for the most part it's just fine. I get the shrimp with lobster sauce a lot because it's one of my favorites and I like the way the flavor mixes with the rice. Their fried rice, as a whole, is not that good. They have a few tables set up inside, I rarely see people eating there, but it's a nice place to wait. I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes for my order to be ready, which I greatly appreciate. There is parking right in front and on the side. Evenings and weekends, the front parking can be a little crazy because of the neighboring businesses, but it's still not a huge issue. Honestly, what I appreciate most about this location is the service and the drink offerings. This is definitely the best service I've had at a carryout in this area.

If a place delivers strong execution, quality flavors, and exceeds expectations for what it is trying to be, that earns a top rating from me. Chili Wok did exactly that. We recently visited Alexandria and had an excellent meal from start to finish. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well prepared, and arrived tasting fresh and intentional. The soup dumplings were a standout. The wrappers held together nicely, the filling was savory and juicy, and each bite had that satisfying burst of broth you hope for when ordering them. The fried rice was also very well done. It had great wok flavor, proper texture, and did not feel greasy or heavy, which is where many places miss the mark. The sweet and sour ribs were another highlight. They had a great balance of sweetness and tang, with tender meat and enough texture to keep them interesting. A dish that can sometimes feel one note was handled really well here. Beyond the food, the overall experience was strong. When every dish lands and nothing disappoints, that says a lot about the consistency of the kitchen. Overall, Chili Wok delivered exactly what I hope for in this category: flavorful food, solid technique, and an enjoyable dining experience. Easy 5 stars, and I would gladly return.
