| - OK, *please* read my whole review. Two points to make, A and B.
A. In the 90s, in China, there was this hugely popular type of restaurant that served "California Beef Noodles" which everyone in China thought was native California cuisine, but of course, it was just Chinese beef noodles. But, who cares so long as the food tastes good, right? -- I've gone to Wok Box a few times now. For anyone expecting the Chinese/Viet/Japanese/etc. named dishes to taste like the stuff you get in China/Vietnam/Japan/etc. or even taste like what you could get in an American big-city China-town, etc., then you will be hugely disappointed. Not even remote. ***BUT*** if you walk in and DON'T have that expectation, then, as grub goes, it tastes just fine, especially for the price. Compared to the crap you would get for the same price at other joints, the food here is downright great.
B. Everything else, the cleanliness, the service, the interior, the quality of the ingredients.... are SUPER! This is a well-managed little restaurant.!
Bottom line: As long as you hold tightly the reins on your expectations, this place is a 4 star or better, depending on what's important to you.
