The first time I ate from this place, it was OK for fast chinese food. The prices weren’t great, but i was trying it out. The last 2 times I got the SAME orders, BOTHTIMES had HAIRINTHEFOOD!!! They deny it being from them. Well, I’m BALD& even when I had hair, it was NOTSPAGHETTI straight jet black hair… It was definitely NOT my wife’s hair as she was NOT even in town those times, hence the ordering take-out…They ONLYACCEPTCASH!!! They are NOTFRIENDLY when you walk inside. The common greeting is, «may I take you order?» DEFINITELYWILLNEVERORDERFROMHEREAGAIN!!!

I’ve been patronizing this restaurant for approximately 3 years and I’ve seen it slip from solidly mediocre to downright poor. Let’s talk about the food first. I’m a lover of wonton soup. The original version served here had a wonderful thin wrapper and good broth. Then, out of nowhere, the filling changed from pork to beef, since all of the prices of the pork dishes were raised. I stopped coming here at this point. I decided to give the restaurant a second chance this past week. The wonton soup was changed slightly, to a more porky mixture in the wonton, but the broth was tasteless. The boneless spareribs were too salty and the sauce was not flavorful. Pork fried rice was dry and didn’t have too much pork and veggies. The prices are too high in this restaurant. The combo specials are almost $ 2 more than the competition. And they don’t come with soup or an egg roll. And they don’t take credit cards. I loathe this place now, sadly. Perhaps the owners will see this review and get their act together.

I was in the neighborhood and decided to order general tso chicken with house fried rice. I’ve had this meal in multiple restaurants so I felt I couldn’t go wrong. The house fried rice was loaded with mushrooms, which I’m allergic too. I called them and told them I was allergic to mushroom and wasn’t aware the rice came with mushrooms. She proceeded to tell me that I should of told her my allergies and she can’t do anything because she is not at fault and that I should simply pick out the mushrooms. An allergic reaction can be triggered with the food simply being cooked together, so her suggestion of me simply picking out the mushroom wasn’t helpful. My biggest issue with this place is the customer service, I called and explained it was my first time trying their food and wasn’t aware they cooked their food with mushrooms instead of understanding and offering me a different plate if i returned the food she told me she would only change the rice out for me. Local businesses thrive with good customer service especially when it’s a chinese take out with many competitors around. King Wok should work on being more customer oriented.

Food is decent but we’ve often had to wait longer than originally told. Also keep in mind they only take cash at the moment which is a pain these days with credit cards and atm fees. The first time we went my wife ordered shrimp and broccoli and when we got home there was no shrimp. We decided not to go back because we were already home and didn’t want to go back. Second time order was correct and food was great.

Not bad but not good either. The General Tso was overly cooked and very dry. The rice wasn’t anything special either. It wasn’t awful but has room for improvement. I will probably go back to try other items if no other options are available.

It’s been my experience that the mark of a bad Chinese restaurant is the faded photos of plates of food over the counter. King Wok does nothing to disprove that theory. Because I work nearby I’ve tried this place several times thinking I’d find a decent dish. This was against the advice of my co-workers who warned me that the place was bad. They were right, it is bad. It seems that they have a single overly sweet sauce that they use for every dish and doctor it up a bit so they can call it something different. Meat dishes are cooked until they are dry and chewy. I’ve had some downright awful Chinese food in my life and this place ranks with the worst.
