Chef's Wok

Service was slow. They were very busy! Took a while to have someone come over to our table. Had to flag down wait staff just to get their attention. The food was ok. I had better. It took way too long to get service. Once we got the food, they never checked back with my party to see if we wanted another eles.

Went on a Tuesday at 1:30p and was greeted and sat immediately. The staff were welcoming, and service was very good. Lots of elderlies celebrating Lunar New Year and laughing up a good time. Ordered 6 dim sum items, and although it took some time to arrive, every dish arrived piping hot. The bean curd rolls were delicious, sesame balls were crunchy, and the dumplings were juicy, flavorable and sizable. Unfortunately, the pan fried turnip cake was a little soggy and the steamed dumplings (har gow and shrimp & spinach) stuck to the paper liner, causing the wrapper to tear and ingredients to fall out...not sure if they steamed them too long. They use thick style wrappers on their steamed dumplings should you have a preference; I prefer the thin style. Anyways, it's clear Chef Wok has a loyal following, and the prices are decent. As with most dim sum places, they do get busy on the weekends, so be prepared to stand in line or order ahead and pick up. All in all, if you have the craving, they will help with the fix!

My family dinner at Chef's Wok was yesterday evening. My brother and sister-in-law chose this restaurant for our Chinese New Year dinner. I lost count on how many courses were served. It must have been a 10 course meal. After dining at Agave, I was not sure if I had enough room to digest all that food. What a combo of meals - Mexican and Chinese - and this morning my stomach was a little queasy. Still, the food was great from both venues.

We planned a get together with 35 people. More people showed up than expected. -40 Our contact had pre-negotiated a flat rate (tax & tip included) for a fixed menu. Everyone paid cash on the spot. Service was okay. Apparently they needed to swap out one item for another. The food was fresh and tasty. I tried things I'd never tried before like a black sesame roll I would have preferred a menu that includes some vegetables, soup and less balls/dumplings. I presume such things are available, they just weren't included for our event.

You never can get a seat even you wait online. They will sit whoever they like or know. I get line and someone come after us get a seat (same small table that we wait). I went and ask the lady who do the sitting, she is nice but she don’t have the power to say a word. Just told me to ask the whoever sitting that group. I ask that lady manager, the one who sit that group. She just keep lied. DON’T go to this tea house.

Food was really good. Only one English speaking hostess, so hard to communicate. They forgot 1 ordered item.

Dinner was pretty good here. Jelly fish bbq combo plate, lobster yee mein, and stir fried pea shoots were delicious here (and also shareable)! I'd come back again when I'm in the area!
