| - Double names are popular. Double names starting with the letter J are even more popular, often exuding a significant level of street cred -- J Cole, J Dilla, J J Abrams, J-Boog of the late r&b group B2K, J Lo, J Edgar Hoover... and now presenting J-Wok, the asian cafe located on the SW corner of Tropicana and Pecos. (Turn into Reno, same plaza as Sam's Club.)
For the bargain hunters like myself, you will be thrilled to hear they have two distinct specials: lunch (from 11a-3p) and happy hour (from 3p-5p). No alcohol here, but you CAN get a thai iced tea or milk tea for only $1.95 and a variety of entrees for only $4.95 -- the most happy you can get without getting sloshed with libations or taking your clothes off.
The bf and I stopped in for their lunch special. I got the garlic chicken and he got the teriyaki chicken. Both came with 2 small scoops of rice and a spring roll. Regardless of in-house dining or to-go, they use styrofoam containers. Honestly, my garlic chicken seemed overwhelmingly doused in garlic. But, with the wide variety of menu items they offer, I would not hesitate to give other entrees a chance. Especially at such a cheap price and a very friendly store owner.
Tip: Check in for a free thai iced coffee! I asked if I could get the thai iced tea instead and he honored my request. I've actually tried both, and the thai iced tea is definitely better!
