    Piece of metal in my food

    Second bite and I bit Into a piece of metal. Not only that but the food is just terrible, worst Chinese food I've ever had.

    I had my doubts about a Chinese restaurant in such a small town, and especially with this kind of name. But, I was staying at the Rodeway hotel and I was tired and didn't feel like going to a restaurant, so, after reading the reviews, I decided to try it. Well, let me apologize for my initial hesitation. I went there to order because I wasn't quite sure that the website was accurate. I placed my order and expected to wait at least 15 minutes. It was ready in maybe 5 minutes! And the young man at the counter even remembered that I mentioned wanting chopsticks. I'm usually disappointed by egg rolls that are made outside of the Detroit area; they're usually stuffed with cabbage and are not that good. But this was delicious! And the chicken fried rice was really good as well, and not greasy like I'm used to. And my chicken lo mein was delicious as well. One combination meal was enough for 3 meals for me!

    Really tasty food. Quick and served nice and hot. Also allows spice adjust so can enjoy classic with little or no spice. Enjoyed the food from no1 Chinese food

    How can you call yourself an actual Chinese restaurant when you don't have sweet and sour pork or fried wonton? Come on!

    Looking to try lunch menus of local Asian cuisine in our search we found Wok and Roll. Saturday we…read morewere disappointed to learn we had to wait until 4pm as they are not open for lunch. Located in a strip mallI, walked into the establishment and at a small table two patrons sit eating. The ambiance was similar to most small Asian restaurants we've purchased food from. Male standing at sushi bar told him I was there to pick up my order. He stated the hostess would be with me in a minute. Hostess arrived took payment for order and a few minutes later our food came out. The food is pricey and portions are on the small side compared to other Asian cuisine in the area. We paid 60+ dollars for 3 wok dinners and a salad. Yellow Curry Wok Tossed $15.00 Potatoes, onions, carrots and peas wok fried in a sweet yellow Thai curry sauce with your choice of protein (Didn't like that the potatoes in the dish were potato logs like the ones you get from the deli.) 2 Dinner Broccoli Wok Tossed $1 Sauteed broccoli in a flavorful brown sauce with your choice of protein Thai Salad Lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, pineapple, chicken satay with peanut vinaigrette dressing (My salad did not have pineapple!!) and we didn't care for the peanut vinaigrette dressing that comes with the salad. A Plus: The 2 Dinner Broccoli Wok Tossed were not greasy and the beef was a better quality and cut a bit thicker. We can check off this local Asian Cuisine establishment and continue our tasting journey. I hope they maybe a diamond in the rough.

This is a little bit hard to find this location it is in a strip mall to the right of the family fare grocery store. It is hidden with not a lot of signage but it is there in the strip mall to the right. I would say that the only downfall of this place was that it did not take American Express. If you want to be a restaurant you should take American Express. We had the pork dumplings and two eggrolls which they say are homemade. They were both very good and then the chicken special which was really just sweet-and-sour chicken but a very generous portion of it with some extra veggies. My girlfriend had some Thai chicken noodles that she said were not very flavorful. Perhaps they weren't Thai spice but rather were moo goo gai pan. Nonetheless it came with a boatload of rice and my family chicken was enough to feed two people easily.

    I grew up eating here with my family because it was always the closest Chinese restaurant to our…read morehome. I recently moved back to Sparta and was excited to come back, but unfortunately the food just isn't what I remember. The staff have always been incredibly kind and welcoming, customer service has never been the issue, and that's still true today. Everyone has always been friendly, which is one of the reasons we kept coming back over the years. Unfortunately, the food quality the last two times I've been has been really disappointing and doesn't compare to how it used to be. I spent around $40 on this visit, and both meals were lacking sauce. The chicken was somehow both dry and fatty, and the rice was overcooked and slightly mushy. I ordered a combination platter and asked to substitute fried rice, which they've done for my family many times in the past. Instead, I received a regular entrée, so I didn't get the egg roll that comes with the combination platter. I also ordered a small egg drop soup but was given a large container, and the soup itself was so thick that neither of us could enjoy it. I'm honestly disappointed because I remember this place being much better. I don't mind paying $40 for a good meal, but this wasn't one. Unless you're a local who doesn't want to make the 20-minute drive down Alpine, I'd recommend making the drive instead. Even Empire Buffet has been more consistent in my experience. I hate leaving reviews like this because I've always had positive interactions with the staff, but the food quality just isn't comparable to what it was years ago. I hope they can get back to the level they used to be because I'd love to become a regular customer again.

We ordered to go we had to wait an hour and a half to come pick it up and then waited at least another hour at the restaurant to get the food. Some people said they were waiting two hours. The flavor of the sauces were good, but each dish was missing most of their main components! Overall, there was barely any meat in the food. Mongolian beef tasted good, but there was like four pieces of beef in there, the Kung pow chicken was all peanuts and celery. The pork egg rolls were all cabbage and some had spicy mustard in them and others didn't. The crab Rangoon and orange chicken were good and the fried rice was ok. The chow mein was very sad it had literally two noodles in the whole thing. It was all bamboo shoots, onions, and celery. I think they just ran out of everything and we got the bottom of the barrels. Very disappointing, especially for Christmas Eve. The sauces showed potential but don't go there on a busy night and don't Order to go! Having said all that I would try it again like mid week when they're not busy to see what the food is really like.
