    The food was fresh and good. It's hard to find good Chinese food. I had shrimp and broccoli.

When you dine in they will bring some sliced watermelon, water and rice crackers to the table to start your experience. I ordered a number of different dishes to get a feel for the place, as well as feed the family. The order: walovi/Wanglaoji (can of tea served cold) Scallion Pancakes, Lychee Shrimp Balls, Beef Soup with hand pulled noodles, special dumplings, Mashed Cucumber salad, sausage, and stir fried beef noodles. Overall the food was amazing 9.5/10 The entire meal was delicious, the noodles were perfectly cooked and the dishes full of flavor. The Leychee shrimp balls were excellent, the mashed cucumber salad was refreshing and full of flavor. All the dishes were seasoned well, the special dumplings were a little over seasoned and thus the 9.5 instead of a perfect 10. The tea was refreshing and not overly sweet it was the perfect accompaniment to the meal.

Every dish tasted like it was made with pride, attention to detail, and a genuine desire to make customers happy. It's the kind of place where you can feel the passion through the food. We ordered the Shrimp Shumai, Pork Tiny Pan Fried Dumplings, Honey Roast Pork Bun, Vegetable Spring Roll, Honey Roast Pork Belly, and the Fried Coconut Bread with Condensed Milk... and every single item was delicious. We loved it so much that before leaving, we ordered two Beef Lo Meins to go, along with another order of the Pork Tiny Pan Fried Dumplings and the Fried Coconut Bread with Condensed Milk! As if the incredible food wasn't enough, the staff was incredibly kind. As we were leaving, they surprised us with a complimentary sample of something that's coming soon, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made us feel genuinely appreciated. It's not a huge restaurant, but don't let the size fool you. Sometimes the smallest places serve the biggest flavors, and this is definitely one of them. We'll absolutely be back, and I can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

Fast forward 10 years later, i'm back from college! Today, I was craving egg drop soup, so I googled the nearest location and Amazing Wok came up. I forgot this place existed because I don't usually order Chinese takeout anymore. I got a lunch special because the deal was pretty good. Sesame chicken with a soup was only $6.50 if you pick up. I saw that some of the sites like seamless do not offer the lunch special if you place the order online or want it delivered. Amazing Wok is on quite a lot of online ordering sites. I ordered through beyond menu (because I was at the library and didn't want to step out to make a call) and also because beyond menu allowed me to get the lunch special deal! There isn't a ton of parking in front of Amazing Wok, but I got lucky today and found a spot. The food was ready by the time i got there, which was only 10-15 mins after I placed the order online. This order really hit the spot. I just wanted egg drop soup so badly because its chilly out. I don't recall the soup being this good in the past. Maybe because I was craving it? It was very eggy and not salty at all. The noodle crackers here are legit. Back at college, the takeout places would give you fried pieces of dough, dripping in oil and they were stale. Amazing Wok's noodle crackers look like they were bought and are the perfect size and not oily. Giving my highest praise for this soup because it really satisfied my cravings. The rice and chicken were average. I think there are some stores that give more, but for $6 this wasn't bad. Most lunch special's i've had elsewhere do give egg rolls with their lunch specials and this one did not. Service here was really pleasant though. I was helped immediately after I arrived. I like that the owner did not start speaking Chinese to me because that has happened before at other places... Recommend it?:Yes! Definitely will be stopping by here again if i'm craving egg drop soup!
