Now, if you're asking what that has to do with Chinese food, then you are obviously not from NY! Here in Arizona, there are many restaurants that serve Chinese food, but NY style Chinese food is just different. Well, if NY style is what you're looking for, then Hot Wok will satisfy that craving you're having!
I'll confess, I wasn't expecting much when I placed my first order. So many other Chinese food eateries had disappointed me already, and I'd become jaded. I think I first found them from having a menu left on my front security door. Anyway, I remember being surprised to see scallion pancakes on the menu. Hmmm, I thought, scallion pancakes? This was the first time I'd seen them on a menu here in the valley....
Since then, I've been impressed with every order. Yes, the scallion pancakes rock! So do the egg rolls, spareribs, won tons, dumplings, and cold sesame noodles. But that's just the appetizers! There's plenty of entrees on the menu too, and none of them disappoint. And of course, they have fresh mustard if you ask (so much better than those packages of hot mustard)
Now, if you're seeking ambiance, this place isn't for you. When you walk in from the strip mall, there are some tables and chairs to either side of your path to the counter. The decor is kind of plain. Yes, you can eat here, but it's more of a takeout joint (in my own, humble opinion of course) This is my number one choice for Chinese style comfort food....at its New York style finest!
