| - I have to agree with some other Yelpers on this one. No, this is not the greatest Chinese food you will ever eat. But, it is far from the worst. Like many others have stated, Chop and Wok is a bar that does Chinese on the side. So, don't come here expecting a five star meal.
What you can expect is this: average Chinese food at an average price, quick and speedy delivery, and personable customer service.
I work in the same complex that Chop and Wok is in (SE corner of Shea and Scottsdale), and I have to admit: I am SO sick of the typical places that deliver around here. Thinking to change it up a bit, I ordered from here on a late Monday afternoon (today actually) for some Vegetable Lo Mein, and order of Crab Puffs, and a side of white rice. The girl on the phone was really nice, and made the ordering process fluid and easy. She also answered my menu questions without hesitation and did not rush me. She told me the order would take around 20 minutes to arrive.
About 10 minutes later, a guy came with my order. He was courteous and well groomed. Something that I find important in a delivery driver. No complaints there.
My order came exactly as I had expected. With the exception of the Lo Mein. It was HUGE. I ordered the large size, expecting to be able to take some home for anyone else who wanted some, and was pleasantly surprised when it came in a take out box STUFFED to the brim. For $9.99, it was a decent value. The only thing I didn't like was that there was a lot of excess sauce in the bottom of the take out container, and that there were also bamboo shoots mixed in with the veggies. Not a huge fan, but it was an ingredient that could have easily been picked out. The crab puffs were excellent. They were large, and stuffed with quite a bit of crab and cream cheese filling. Much more than you would find at a Panda Express or similar establishment. The white rice was also good, but then again it's hard to mess up.
My favorite thing about Chop and Wok? NO MINIMUM DELIVERY FEE! Praise the Lord of Delivery! Now I don't have to 3 weeks of decent Chinese just to satisfy my lunch craving. Like I said. Nothing phenomenal, but definitely not as bad as some reviewers are making it out to be. Pictures posted.
