Cathay Wok

I ordered delivery… the Diet Coke some how was flat and the rest of it including the menu seems like a knock off of Golden House. Everything down to the numbered specials. Maybe it’s the same owners or they changed locations. The crab ragoons weren’t that great. Mostly cream cheese and no taste of crab. The chicken wasn’t that bad. I will say they had good shrimp lo mein.

I ordered take out from them in an effort to find a good chinese food place since I’m new to the area. I got chicken fried rice, scallion pancakes, and boneless spare ribs. The ribs had no flavor and were a pretty big disapointment. I’m glad I ordered a small because I only ate a few and just tossed the rest. The fried rice was mediocre. It had a bit of a burned taste in some parts and generally wasn’t the kind of fried rice I’m used to getting when I order it. The scallion pancakes were okay. A little greasy and rubbery, but they at least had some flavor. It wasn’t terrible food, but it wasn’t all that great either. I certainly wouldn’t pay that much for that quality of food again.

My mom used to always order chinese food from this place for the family. Great chinese food. A bit on the pricier side compared to the other chinese restaurants around the neighborhood, but it’s worth it! The house fried rice is hands down, the best! We usually order it with no color, basically it doesn’t have the brown color, its white but taste just the same! Everything here is like a 4 star chinese food and everything else in the neighborhood is like 3 stars. They have a self serve dine in area, but no one really ever sits and eat here. At times it does feel like youre spending an arm and leg, but very well worth it!

I’ve stopped in at Cathay Wok for lunch takeout twice over the past month and each time I’ve been very happy with the food. The place is order at the counter with an open kitchen area and dine-​in seating along the front window which has a fantastic view of the Bridge Street traffic tieups to the VFW Hwy.
Cathay Wok serves up typical Chinese, Polynesian, and Szechuan fare including 24 Luncheon Specials served with pork fried rice and appetizer (8 choices) served all day, ($ 4.95-$ 9.95, add 50 cents after 3PM) and 10 Combination Plates ($ 9.75 each).
I ordered the Lunch Special #4: Pork Lo Mein with Egg Roll ($ 6.75) and the Lunch Special #5: Shrimp Chow Mein with Chicken Fingers ($ 7.50) over two separate visits. The food was prepared and served quickly in about 5 – 8 minutes, easy in-​easy out. The good sized portions of food were very tasty, and not too greasy.
Two thumbs up!
