New place in Camrose! I drove by and noticed it was open. I had been gone for 2 weeks so I suppose I missed the Grand Opening. I was excited to try out Wok Box. I had seen numerous restaurants but never had tried the food. Walk in the door and it is BUSY. I waited in line and had time to look at the menu to see what I wanted to eat. My eyes kept coming back to the Pad Thai. My turn to order, and that's what I got. Went and sat at the bar and watched the busy cooks (or wok runners) prepare my food. The kitchen area has extremely bright fluorescent lights above it. This kind of spoils the whole atmosphere. There are Edison bulbs hanging in the eating area but the kitchen lights are so bright, you don't notice. The kitchen is not enclosed so it makes the whole restaurant rather noisy and makes conversation challenging.
Finally my food was ready. A female sprinkled green onions on top and instantly regretted it because I had requested "no onions please" She did her best to remove them with tongs, but I assured her it was just a preference I had, not an allergy. The Pad Thai with chicken and rice noodles was a great feast. I squirted Sriracha on top but I doubt I would have needed it. The flavour was nice and spicy without.
I enjoyed my Wok Box experience and recommend you give it a try! read more
