  • The Wok owners used to own Mandarin Wok on Green St in Champaign. I'm not the only one who was deeply saddened when they sold their business. The food just didn't taste the same anymore. Fast forward a few years. I was in town for the career fair and a friend told me that the former MW owners set up shop in Mahomet. I heard that they signed a non-compete clause when they sold MW, which barred them from selling anything on the MW menu (which is almost everything) within 7 miles or something of MW. The owner told me they missed the restaurant business and after a lukewarm Japanese bento business in Champaign, they moved to Mahomet where they sold Chinese American food. Eventually a loyal customer found them and convinced them to cook Taiwanese again. Word of mouth keeps them busy today. They also make Chinese-American food for the locals... I made a reservation (tough because they don't always pick up their phone) for a weeknight. We didn't really need a reservation but I wanted to be safe. My girlfriend went on a Sunday night and it was really busy. So, I would definitely recommend reservations for the weekend. The owner remembered me after all these years. She was nice enough to comp a dish because she knew it'd be a while before I'm in 'town' again. Between the four of us, we had: - crispy tofu. A classic MW dish. - eggplant with fish sauce. - chicken rolls (awesome!!) - basil chicken balls - greens with shrimp - beef noodle soup - salty chicken (Taiwanese nightmarket style) Yes, the menu is confusing and in Chinese but the owner's daughter can help you if you know what you're looking for. True, I live in NYC and have access to Chinatown and Flushing, but the Wok's cooking is more authentic than most places I've tried here. It's yummy, homestyle cooking which is hard to find at most restaurants. I'm jealous of anyone who can come here often... it will be a stop for any future trip to Champaign. Note: They are closed on Mondays.
