| - -A Bland Chicken Dinner-
Very average Chinese place. My girlfriend and I have been searching around for good Chinese places and this place was fairly close to where we now live.
I placed an order over the phone for General Tso's Chicken and Orange Chicken meals (which come with fried rice, an egg roll, and a fortune cookie). When placing the order, the woman on the phone seemed overly rushed, but she took my order and phone number. After receiving those, she hung up. I never said my name, and I never was given a time to come pick up my order.
I decided to just head from my place to China Wok and see if it was ready. On arrival, I know now why she seemed so rushed, she was practically working alone. She asked if I had ordered the General Tso and Orange Chicken, I said yes and was given a 5 minute wait time. I picked out a few drinks from their fridge, paid, and found a place to sit.
It wasn't long before my order was ready, service seemed more polite than it was over the phone. I left and brought the food back to my apartment.
My girlfriend and I opened our food, which was labeled so we could tell our orders apart, and gave it a try. The rice was phenomenal, the eggrolls were large, and the chicken was well sauced. The chicken was lacking in flavor as the General Tso's Chicken was not very spicy (dispite having hot peppers on the menu picture), and the Orange Chicken was not very sweet.
Serving size was nice and filling, price was pretty standard for Chinese, service over the phone was not very good (but much better in person), plenty of sauce.
The only reason I wouldn't give it a 4 star rating would be because the chicken was not to my standard in flavor, and the service over the phone was pretty rough.
