    Chicken fried rice

    Ordered by phone in advanced for pick up to-go. When we got back home the chow mein had atleast 85% oily onions, cabbage and veggies and only a few burnt noodles with chicken. I asked for light veggies. The chicken fried rice was burned fried rice, it looked and tasted burnt. I was sad to have had this experience as this spot came recommended. We will not be returning.

    if I could give this place a minus zero I would! I bit into a piece of glass and it made my tongue bleed. I called and told them what happened and the worker or owner said that she didn't believe me. I'm so glad that I was the one who ate the glass because I was going to serve it to children. Then she told me to bring it back which I had no problem with but I'm just so flabbergasted that she pretty much called me a liar. Bad form Tea Garden! never going back!

    Combo #8: the best thing here is the fried wontons smothered in sweet and sour sauce

    Although the prices were fair, the food was not to par. I got the veggie chow mein and it barely tasted like anything. It had that yummy smell first and then I took my first bite and was disappointed. It had a heavy onion taste and that's about it. I also got the fried rice with pork and the mar far chicken and both were just as bland. With our combo was a wonton soup that tasted like lightly salted water and the wontons themselves just tasted like the beef within it. The saving grace was the crab fried wontons. Those were pretty decently flavored and that's about the only thing I would buy again from this place.

    I decided to give the place a try as I had been curious about it for a while. I went during lunch to check out the specials. As expected, there were several different combinations available. I settled on the less-adventurous choice of orange chicken, fried rice and fried wonton. The place was fairly quiet (though not dead) during the lunch hour. I was told to choose my seat, and the tables and upholstery were reasonably clean. Service was fine. Nobody really checked on me from when the food arrived until the point when I got the check. The food was decent. I chose wonton soup as an appetizer. It arrived in a glorified teacup with two wonton, which I thought was a bit skimpy. The broth was pretty bland. The orange chicken had a lighter color (more golden than brown) and consistency than I'm used to. I did like the fact that it appeared to be healthier white meat as opposed to the traditional (but to be fair, generally more flavorful) dark meat. The wonton were fried well though there was minimal filling. The rice was unremarkable. Unfortunately there was a miscommunication where I had requested more hot peppers in my chicken, but ended up with a lot of diced green bell pepper added to the chicken. Oh well. Additionally, when I requested garlic chili sauce, it was brought out in a small bowl similar to a teacup without any lid. The bowl was cold so it had probably been sitting in a fridge. In the sauce I saw several bits of rice, which indicated that the spoon had probably been in contact with someone else's food and dipped back into the sauce where it stayed for an undetermined amount of time until it found its way to me. I may return at some point but nothing about my initial visit inspired me to return any time soon.

    This is my favorite place for Chinese food. It is where I go. The chicken salad is the best in the county and it's the best I've ever had.

    I havent been here years never thought the donuts were special. Though I haven't visited in person…read morein about 5 years until this morning, I recently had their apple fritter a week ago which a coworker had brought in to work. It left a very waxy film in your mouth unlike donut mill which makes exceptional apple fritters. I assume they use some solid frying oil like shortening or something. But the real reason for leaving this review is as I came in. I asked for a round glazed cinnamon roll. It was 6.95. An apple fritter was 6.95. A dozen donut holes was 5.95 a glazed donut was 2.95. Are you absolutely out of your mind? The donuts are so mid tier and youre charging more for that filth than a local bakery does for their pastries. Absolutely out of your minds. We would always make fun of this place because the lady would be so obnoxious and always be like and then and then and then what else what else you want what else you want and then what else you want. Like nothing I want one donut that's it. Thank god she wasnt there this morning and it was some other gentlemen. I gladly told him I didn't know donuts were so expensive and I walked out. How does this place still exist a dozen regular donuts are 40 dollars

    Worst Donut Shop Experience of My Life. Stay Away. I don't…read moreeven know where to begin. $37.50 for a dozen donuts. Let that sink in. When I had the audacity to ask what justified that price, the owner didn't just fail to answer -- she turned immediately hostile, became openly rude to me, and then tried to enlist other customers in the store to gang up on me. In a donut shop. Over a price question. Rather than addressing my concern professionally, she attempted to drag strangers into the confrontation -- what should have been a straightforward conversation between a business owner and a paying customer turned into something embarrassing and hostile. A business owner who responds to basic questions by belittling customers and stirring up conflict has no business running a business. On top of that, the store itself was visibly dirty. Cleanliness is non-negotiable when you're handling food that people put in their mouths -- it's the bare minimum. The hygiene standards on display were deeply concerning and off-putting. This place deserves zero stars. If you value your money, your dignity, and basic food safety standards, do yourself a favor and drive right past it. I will not be returning.

    Driving through Northern CA and did not expect such a filling and fun meal…read more This spot is definitely a Chinese, Korean, Japanese fusiony spot that I did not expect to find here. We ordered the Chinese Style Lamb Stew, Cheese Corn, Kung Pao Vegetables, and it came with a side of banchan. Every single dish here was absolutely delicious and piping hot! We ended up ordering a second plate of banchan because it was so good. The daikon radish had the most satisfying crunch and the others- cabbage and bean sprouts were very well pickled too! Cheese corn was sweet and honestly a good pairing with the very soury/ pickled soup. The kung pao vegetables would have definitely fooled me if I wasn't told it was mushroom. The batter holds on the oyster mushrooms just like chicken does. Well seasoned. Service was very impressive - there was a single waitress serving lots of tables. She had amazing recommendations and really seemed like she knew what she was doing. Very kind and attentive the entire time. Would love to return.

    Friends had mentioned this restaurant a few weeks ago…read more We visited this restaurant a few days ago. We ordered several plates. Everything was delicious. This is the best Asian style restaurant in Humboldt county. Great dishes well prepared. They were busy, only two servers but they did a very good job. We even ordered plates to take home, food was that good.

    A Tale of Two WOKINs: A Journey from SoCal to NorCal in Search of the Perfect Bite…read more Every family has a story, a collection of moments stitched together with love, laughter, and--if you're lucky--really, really good Chinese food. Ours begins in Redlands, California, where a humble, hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant called WOK IN became more than just a place to grab takeout. It became a second home. A young couple owned it, pouring their heart and soul into every dish, and over the years, we grew close, bonding over sizzling woks and steaming bowls of comfort. But life, as it often does, led us north. A new chapter. A fresh start. And while we embraced the adventure, there was one thing missing--a place that felt like our place, a little corner of the world where good food and good people came together. For nearly a year, we searched. And then, like a beacon in the fog of hunger, we found it: WOK IN WOK OUT in Eureka, California. I told my wife about it, cautiously optimistic, but she met my excitement with skepticism. "Let's see if it's the same," she said, as only a woman who has been burned by disappointing takeout before can say. So we did. The order was simple: Kung Pao Chicken, soup, and Pad Thai. The stakes? Immensely high. One bite in, and suddenly, it wasn't just dinner--it was a rediscovery. The flavors were bold, the textures perfect, the spice hitting just right. And then, the true test: my wife, pregnant and all, gave me the nod. It didn't make her sick. That, my friends, is the highest praise a restaurant can receive in our household. While nothing will replace our forever WOK IN family in SoCal, WOK IN WOK OUT has given us a new home for comfort food up here in NorCal. It's not just about the food--it's about the feeling, the nostalgia, the quiet joy of finding a place where you belong. So, to the good people at WOK IN WOK OUT: thank you. You've given us more than just a meal--you've given us a piece of home. -Jacob Williams
