| - I found this place in a review at the back of the Metro (where I get all my news) about a year ago. I actually clipped the article and put it on my fridge as I didn't want to forget to go there. When we moved house the clipping moved with us, a constant reminder of a promise made to oneself.
After keeping the clipping for so long, I was just praying I hadn't made a huge mistake. My prayers were answered, and I can proclaim that the Wokker lived up to it's billing (as far as the Metro was concerned at least).
Word to the wise, if you have a high-maintenance girlfriend (or boyfriend), DO NOT BRING THEM TO THIS RESTAURANT. It's authentic chinese food, and the interior and decor are along much the same lines. Let's just say you don't need to dress up in order to feel comfortable. You will not impress a first date with this place.
That being said, if you like good chinese food at great prices, you will not be disappointed. I recommend the set dinner, I had the duckling and (like the Metro columnist) I could be heard eliciting squeals of delight with every bite. Vegetables and rice were very good too. Spring rolls and wonton soup, the duckling with rice and vegetables, topped off with green tea ice cream, all for the very low price of $12.95.
My wife had the Pad-Thai, she was disappointed as there was a slightly burnt flavour to it (I had to taste it myself in order to critique it :)), even still I ended up finishing it for her as I hate to waste good food, that I owe to my late Irish granny who would give us stale biscuits (cookies to Canucks) when we came to visit.
Try the Wokker, even if there's nobody in there.
