    Spicy Dry Hot Pot medium spice
    Nick C.

    Wok Bar is my go to dry pot spot. It's a DIY place, where you grab a bowl and tongs, pile on the ingredients at the buffet, and bring the bowl to the register. The cashier will weigh your bowl, and you can choose to have them prepare a dry pot or a hot pot, in one of three spice levels. I usually go for level 2 spice since it's pretty spicy. They also offer a few other menu items, including grilled skewers, but I usually just get a bowl of dry pot. It costs $15.99 per pound, so the price can get pretty high depending on how much you fill your bowl. Service can be slow at times, but there aren't many dry pot options in the area.

    Always good, whenever I crave for something spicy. Will definitely try their other items.

    I ordered takeout and the food was pretty subpar IMO. What I ordered: 1. Yeung chow fried rice - Not authentic. It was basically just spam fried rice with hardly any shrimps. 2. House special noodle - Not sure why it's "special" in any way. It was just noodles with scrambled eggs on top. 3. Sliced beef in hot chili oil - This one was good, but too little beef. 4. Kung pao chicken - This one was good as well. 5. Shredded pork in garlic sauce - Pork pieces were too thick and should've been cut more thinly. Also, stop using big pieces of celery as filler.

    A clean little shop off Lemoine Rd and inside you are greeted and seated. There you can order some grilled items like skewers or food cooked off of the menu. If you want to have the dry hotpot, you get to pick up a bowl and tongs and then select the items you want from the refrigerator unit as well as the freezer for the meat. We had some skewers with squid and rice cake which were good, a little on the sweet instead of spicy side for small spicy squid tentacles. For the not spicy rice cake skewer, they still applied the cumin which was nice. The yang chow fried rice came out first, quick and hot, kids liked that. The eggplant in garlic sauce was sweet and a little spicy which I liked, using the thinner Japanese eggplant, but was very greasy. The glutinous rice cake had the soybean powder already placed on the rice cake which I actually don't like, and the brown sugar sauce was a bit light. The rice cake itself wasn't puffed up and fluffy like a well grilled or cooked version would be, it was a little actually disappointing. Most people come here for the dry hot pot though, and you have a great selection of a different vegetables and meats to choose from in your own quantity so you can design your own dry hot pot. Once you select your ingredients, they go to weigh it and cook it in the kitchen to your desired spiciness level. It was good at small spicy for me but I have had better overall flavor from other ma la dry hot pot shops. Next time we'll have to try medium spicy. Drinks here are from the cooler and can be a bit expensive, just ask how much before you take and drink if you're on a budget.

    Great spot in NJ where you can build your own hotpot. Their service was not bad - they give you bottle water instead of tap water. And the restaurant interior was not too special (it's not like fancy restaurant). They have two options: hot pot & dry hot pot. It has the right spice level and fresh ingredient (you can pick your own ingredients & spicy level). Meats and veggies mixed with a perfection - not too sweet, not too spicy. BUT, I think the spicy level is different everyday. I usually order medium-level spicy, and sometimes it was really spicy and sometimes it was okay. I also ordered some skewers which I didn't really satisfied. The beef was little tough, and the Chinese spices were little strong for me. I wouldn't order skewers next time.

    My first time eating at Wok Bar - famous for Malatang - spicy hot pot. 1 lb = almost $14 Among the 3 of us, we ordered shrimpt fried rice ($14), hot pot (2) and dry hot pot ($18) & comes with a bowl of rice) The spicy hot pot was quite pleasant, and the soup was not too overpowering. The dry noodles came to me strange since the Mala was quite strong.I could feel the certain numbness of my to tongue. But, it was very enjoyable. I would definitely try the soup version next time.

    Kung pao chicken with white rice on the side

    Blown away. I've wanted to try this place for a while. Must come back! Medium level is quite kicking. If you order the dry hot pot, be sure to ask for rice on the side. The Sichuan spice coats everything. Didn't try the skewers this time but next time I think ill try one of each. I'm just so glad this place is so close to me, and I don't need to go all the way to flushing to get Sichuan spiced dry hot pot. Medium spice dry hot pot 5/5 Kung pao chicken 5/5 Street parking available. Service was attentive and helpful. So many dessert places right next door!

    Beef Spicy Dry Hot Pot (mild spicy)

    Literally go here everyday lol you get to choose your own portion of veggies and meats. Service is ok to be honest but the food itself is so good! I usually get dried hotpot med mild spicy. You get to choose spicy level. Don't put too much they do charge you by weights. Ambiance is alright. There's a parking place down two stores and mostly street parking. There's also a plenty of parking places (during weekdays) in a plaza right across.

    Dry hot pot and fried buns with condensed milk
    Kelly Z.

    Was violently craving dry hot pot. Came here on a Thursday night around 8pm and there was a lot of tables available. We picked our own veggies and meat and drinks as well as a side of fried buns. Food came out very quick and was delicious. Cravings satisfied

    Deliciously spicy. WokBar is a great spot for some Chinese dry pot. Really enjoyed going to Chinese food places with my friends in New York back in the day. Hard to find many Chinese food places in North Jersey that fully commit to Chinese cuisine rather than the asian fusion platter of having a mediocre selection Korean, Japanese, and Chinese food on your menu. Instead WokBar has a pretty simple selection of mostly just Dry and Hot Pot, and some skewer. Ordered Medium for the first time and it was great. Pretty salty and the rice is definitely needed, but thats how it normally goes with DryPot. If the saltiness is an issue for you , you could potentially ask them to alter it slightly for you. Price was pretty solid. My dish was around $24 and I had to save pretty much half of it. Would definitely come back to WokBar again to try a higher spicy level.

The food wasn't bad, actually quite tasty but I guess my taste buds are used to the more unhealthy, "fake" American Chinese food. Moreover, the server was nice but it was evident her English was a bit lacking so when I asked for a lychee martini, she kept pointing to martini but didn't know what I meant by lychee (so I went for a cosmo instead no biggie). The food came out pretty fast once ordered but any questions we had about the dishes were answered rather ambiguously and when we wanted some chili oil/more napkins we had to kind of hunt the server down. And it was weird because the restaurant really wasn't that busy on a Sunday afternoon. So, overall I still enjoyed my birthday (would've been nice to kinda get called on it especially since the server "checked" my ID but again maybe she didn't really look at it), and I don't think I'd rush to try this restaurant again. However, it's still worth at least a first try! The soup was my favorite dish, very herbal flavors. Heavy on lemongrass so if you're expecting something a bit less fragrant like pho or ramen you probably wouldn't like the soup here.

    The experience pretty much matched its current rating. I saw the 3.6 beforehand and was hoping it…read morewould be better, but it delivered exactly what you'd expect from that score. The food was mediocre. Service was okay--polite but flat and not very attentive. Overall, it's not somewhere I'd go back to

As I'm a tourist, this price makes sense as I'm splurging. As a person who wants a regular meal, this is pricey for a takeout box of noodles for 1. Now, the meal itself was tasty. The meant was flavorable and tender. The noodles were cooked al dente so a bit chewy. I ate the box in one sitting and I felt just full. Would I return, possibly but I wouldn't fall for the add ons. I'd just choose an already made meal/ dish
