    Chicken Teriyaki

    One chicken teriyaki skewer with all this rice for $14 is crazy. I should have checked my food before I left the description clearly states skewers with and (s)

    hot and sour soup

    It was my first time going to The Boardwok Restaurant its been here for years, my brother has gone once and I just had the time to come over here this time. The inside is nice cozy and tons of tables. They have a bar as well they do things different here with their food since the owner i guess like to fish is what I read and so fresh fish and stuff like that. The food I got was hot and sour soup. It is different the other chinese restaurants that I go to usually never put green beans in it but it is spicy and sour which is pretty good. I also got the combo stir fry lo mein with pork, chicken and shrimp. Although the shrimp maybe fresh it has a taste that isn't fresh. The noodles were great although i don't like the way they package my food. I don't like soggy spring rolls when you put it in the lo mein. Just put it in where you put the dry things in a separate bag like you did for the soup The workers at the bar waitresses are nice and friendly. I only saw and elderly men sitting an eating the booth when I walked in. I think their meal was pretty quick since i walked in at 1130am when it was just opened. the bill came to 31.00 something so charged to debit card no tip since it was take out, but when i waked up at 7am this morning there was an updated charged so total with tip they added onto was 36.20...I would use my cash next time when I come back. If i wanted to add tip I would have, but I didn't want to break up my 20. I will come back next time to try the fried rice

    OKAY I am hesitant writing a review on The Boardwok Restaurant. It is one of my FAVORITES and I am afraid if people find out how great they are. It will get to busy and then I will be super sad if I cannot easily walk in a get a table. It is such a wonderful small restaurant. Even the bathrooms are cute. The owner is super awesome. He loves to fish and loves FRESH!!!!! Oh baby so many favorites when the food is fresh. The green beans, the asparagus, the broccoli, I could go on and on. OK so when you walk in the staff are ALWAYS awesome. You can ask what is in season or fresh. They have a chalk board that has the specials. If you follow them on Facebook they will let you know when the soft shell crabs are in. And you can also see when the other wonderful fresh bean, asparagus and all that come in. We have ordered everything and have LOVED everything on the menu. My advice if it is your first time. Order Kev's Favorite Lo Mein. And if you go when they serve the She Crab SOUP. It is THE BEST in the entire area.

    Our first visit to the Boardwok Restaurant was more than a year ago. The restaurant was dark and there were no customers. We were new to the area and very disappointed in our meals. A year later, a friend invited us and to our surprise it was a complete turnaround. The restaurant was bright and open, full of happy customers. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing: big portions, fresh ingredients with attention to the little things like using low sodium soy sauce as requested. My wife ordered pork lo mein with a side of chicken teriyaki. The dish came with an abundance of perfectly seasoned pork. The noodles and sauce were not like the usual greasy stuff you get in most Chinese restaurants; The sauce was light and very tasty. The chicken teriyaki side was tender with a nice sweetness and was a perfect compliment to the sauce of the lo mein. I ordered Kev's stir-fried rice noodles with pork and shrimp. The portion was on the large side and again the sauce was light and very tasty. Needless to say, we were both very impressed and the friendly service provided by both waitresses added to the pleasant experience. We will be back ... and soon!

    Our family was starving at this point we spent the day at the pool and wanted to try a new local spot. felt it would be a thing if we spoke up at all about our experience with the food as everyone knew each other that was coming and going . We regret not just leaving as soon as we sat down. Our food came out incorrect, one of the cooks had gotten hurt and we heard a scream from the back super uncomfortable situation and experience. All the fans were on entire family was freezing. We grabbed the beef and broccoli the pot stickers(only thing that was good) , the sesame beef, teriyaki chicken (taste like bad barbecue sauce over decent chicken) kids got the BLT with slaw (absolutely disgusting), the veggie fried rice with spring roll (absolutely disgusting). We came here because of the reviews on yelp. Seems like most are their friends and biased on how it actually taste save your money and go elsewhere. We rarely go out as a family of 5 as it's so expensive so this was extremely disappointing.

    Pork Lo Mein and General Tso Chicken

    Delicious!! The lo-mein is the best I have had in the area in the 7 years I have lived here. I tried my son's General Tso Chicken and then I wanted to eat his plate, too! It's a super casual atmosphere and the staff is great. I'll be back there for sure!

    On a whim, my family and I ordered for pickup through Yelp (which then uses grub hub) from this restaurant. Our family friend swore by this place and the food. Ordering on Yelp was easy enough- especially since when I tried the old school traditional phone order- which kept giving me a busy signal. I placed the order quickly online (Yelp- the restaurant doesn't offer online ordering) and was given an estimate of how long until the food was ready for pick up. The order was completed and ready within 35 minutes. The pick up was the kicker. The lady at the register looked at me as if she had no clue what I was talking about when I said I was there to pick up an online order. Another server walked by and said "oh we don't do Yelp. But we have a grub hub order" and she pointed to a shelf with bags on it. I assumed that it was going to be brought to me, I assumed wrong. The food was so/so. My order was missing 1/2 of the veggie fried rice (I had an order of $125 worth of food). Everything was over salted. The spring rolls were soggy. All in all- I will stick with Panda Express.

I called earlier in the day to see if we should make reservations, but was told they wouldn't be busy. Well, we got there and while they had plenty of tables at 6:30PM, but 7PM that place was completely packed! They had lots of carry-out orders happening too, which all made the kitchen a little slow. We ordered many dishes to share and all started coming out one after another over the next hour until the beef & broccoli was the last dish. Again, I attribute the slowness of the kitchen to their being so busy. At least all the food that came out was very fresh, tasty, and piping hot. Some interesting items that were quite good were their potatoes and green peppers. This dish is something I've never seen before but was pretty good! It features long julienned potatoes that they clearly soak in water before wok'ing with the peppers - that was all that was in the dish, but it was still tasty. Their Fish in Chili Oil & Bean Sprouts was really tasty and fresh! The fish is flounder. Their spicy wontons in chili oil were very popular with our group too. Service here was friendly too and helpful. Like I said, we tried many items, so many more than I just outlined and all were nice. I'd definitely return for a slightly more elevated Chinese menu from what you get at the typical Chinese-American joints.

I like that it's spaced out and you're not over crowded. Our waitress Catherine was awesome. She's always nice, friendly, and patient. She gave us the menu specials and allowed us to chat a bit before ordering. My friend ordered the cheese wontons, general tso chicken and dan dan noodles. The wontons were really good. I like that they were sweet and crispy. I'd get them again for sure. The dan dan noodles were spicy and flavorful. My sister and I got the Mongolian chicken, storm fish, and eggplant. This is my go to meal that I normally get, it's always tasty. The storm fish normally comes with a spicy mayo sauce, but they didn't have it this time. The fish was still ok, but the sauce is what gives it flavor, so it was a little bland this time. The eggplant and Mongolian chicken were yum, hot, and fresh!! I definitely recommend this restaurant to alot of people. I just think it's more elevated compared to regular Chinese takeout food. They have many delicious options on the menu, and again the vibe is chill. If you're planning a group dinner this is definitely a great option.

I found maybe 4 at most. It was also disappointing most of the sauce was on the bottom. So it's imperative you stir everything from bottom up upon receiving the order. The top layer tasted like it had barely any seasonings because of it. I wish I had known the meal came with copious amounts of mushrooms. I otherwise would have specifically requested the order be made without the them. I am not a big fan of mushrooms and especially the fragrant kind like the shiitake variety. I feel like I had mouthfuls of mushrooms in each bite and that's all I tasted. Perhaps I will order something else they are more known for the next time I believe they specialize in Szechuan cuisine.

My family and I (5 people) came in to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday dinner and there was nobody but us in the restaurant. The first thing I noticed was the server. He was dressed in jeans, hooded sweatshirt, a beanie and had a toothpick in his mouth. A bit out of the ordinary but to each their own for proper attire in what I would deem a upscale-ish restaurant. The real issue was him taking our order, seemed rushed. As we were deliberating and figuring out what we wanted. My girlfriend was talking about the scallion bubble pancakes. He came over and said, "I overheard you said the scallion pancakes, did you want to put in that order?" My girlfriend said no, she wanted everything to come out all at once. He said ok and then we walked off. Next thing we know, the pancakes came out WAY ahead of everything else we ordered. By like 15 minutes at least. When my girlfriend said something about it, the waiter said, he said outright " I never heard her say not to order them, she never said anything, and they are out right now". No apology, no I'll go ahead and fix that...nothing. When we we on the way out, we talked to the owner about the experience and the only thing he mentioned was that, the server was new and it's hard to find good employees because they revolve so quickly. Which wasn't really an answer at all. It was definitely a 180 degree turn from the first experience we had here which was 5 stars all around. I think given the experience, we unfortunately won't be coming back
