On my quest to discover decent Chinese food in Charlotte (how can such a big town have such a good Chinese food drought??), my search took me to Best Wok, tucked off Monroe and Sardis Road North, right next door to New Zealand Cafe. I got excited when we walked up a few minutes before noon and were greeted with a line out the door. If they're this crowded, they have to be doing something right... Right?!!
I ordered the mixed vegetable lunch special and added chicken for $1. Because I'm high maintenance, I also asked for garlic sauce instead of the brown sauce it usually comes with. Lunch comes with fried rice and your choice of an egg roll or chicken wings. I went with the egg roll and wasn't disappointed -- it and the rice were both pretty tasty! The main dish was also really good! Veggies were fresh and crisp, it was a good sized portion (enough for left overs, so ask for it to go so you already have the box!), it was not drowning in sauce. My only complaint is that the garlic sauce was on the sweet side while I was expecting/hoping for spicy.
I'll be back for sure! Looking forward to trying the sesame chicken. My friend ordered that and I had total order envy!
***Edit to include my second visit. I went for the sesame chicken this time and holy cow, y'all! The sesame chicken is to die for! Perfectly crunchy with big, fresh pieces of broccoli. The fried rice perfectly sops up the sweet and spicy sauce. And the egg rolls are still killer. We have a new favorite Chinese spot in Charlotte!! Happy dancing over here.
