| - My husband & I have been meaning to try Chop and Wok for years.
It's been on our foodie "Bucket List".
Finally today, we decided to pick up a few dishes at the new location.
(11.99) War Shu Chicken - all we could taste was the CORNSTARCH
(11.99) Mongolian Beef - ONLY dish with flavor
(7.99) Vegetable Fried Rice - looked amazing, totally BLAND, like White Rice bland
(1.99 EA) Chicken Teriyaki Egg Rolls - the SMALLEST grease pocket imaginable
The Bill: $40.30 + $7.70 tip = money down the toilet.
Although I am Chinese, I give a lot of leeway when it comes to American-Chinese cuisine. I had to dip my War Shu chicken in the Sweet & Sour sauce provided for the Egg Rolls (1" x 3" = sized for an Infant), which is unheard of if you knew me. I was damn near close to pouring Soy Sauce over my Fried Rice just to make it edible. Again, not my usual habit as it reminds me of someone putting ketchup on a Filet Mignon..
To add insult to injury, the establishment itself smelled like the inside of the oldest bowling shoe; worn by every pre-pubescent boy in the State after running a 5K. My husband puts it simply, "smells like stale beer", but it was more offensive than that. We went in with the intention to dine-in, and ended up taking it home. I couldn't eat with that kind of funk encompassing my senses.
I've had better Chinese Food at a sketchy, poorly lit, all you can eat for $1.99 Buffet in downtown Phoenix where the main color of the food is Red, Yellow, or Blue-ish.
This review came with a fervor; I created an account exclusively to be able to write this review and create awareness that this "Restaurant" (slash Bar) has the worst food ever. Ever! Let me put it this way, if there was an option to omit stars altogether, that would have been my course of action.
What baffles me is that Chop and Wok is rated (via Reviews) the same as Flo's. Mind blowing. FLO'S is actually GOOD Chinese Food..
