    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've only been to the Chesapeake location, and I love their food, so this was my first time trying the food at the VB location. I was quickly greeted as soon as I walked in and was seated right away. I loved the clean and modern decor of the restaurant. My server was super friendly and brought over the menu. I knew I wanted the Wonton in Hot Chili Oil but I also wanted to try the Dan-Dan Noodles here, because I wasn't a fan of them at the other location, so I ordered both of those along with Salt & Peppered Prawns. The food was served fairly quickly. I started with the Wontons but there was something in the chili oil that made my mouth extremely tingly and numb. I normally get a slight tingly feeling when I eat them but this was intense. I couldn't even finish it. The Dan-Dan Noodles were incredible though! They had the perfect amount of flavor and spice. The Salt & Peppered Prawns were good, but I probably won't order them again. The flavors were great but the seasoning is only on the shells. I found myself rubbing the de-shelled shrimp on the seasoned shells to give them some flavor. I did attempt to eat them with the shells on but I wasn't a fan. You really can't go wrong at Judy's! The staff were incredible and the food is good!!! I still prefer the Chesapeake location but I'm glad I was able to stop in and try the food out at this location as well.

Well, I had an incredible lunch experience at Wang Jiang Lou that made my day! It all began with the warm welcome, followed by incredible service table side and even as I left the team made me feel good (More later!). Whoever designed this restaurant knows something about creating an escape from the world experience. The paneling, table settings, lighting, and every inch of the dining area allowed me to take a deep breath escaping from a hectic hot and humid Virginia Beach weekday hustle! The $16 lunch is a bargain! Offering several impressive entrees plus soup. I am extremely particular about Hot and Sour soup and this bowl was delicious with a subtly of flavors and a pleasant silky texture. I consumed every last drop and returned a clean bowl! I chose Yu Xiang Pork as my entree, which my waitress said was one of the top two favorites along with the pork belly. She said she would give the Yu Xiang Pork the edge. She was right because I loved this dish! I like heat and this offered heat. I like varied texture and this had a range of textures. I want flavor that makes you eat everything served and this delicious lunch offering succeeded. For the price I was so impressed with the variety of mushrooms!! The cherry on top for this visit (No, I didn't get an ice cream sundae.) was the warm thank you's PLURAL that I received from the people up front as I left. Their smiles were beaming at me and they genuinely made me feel like they were happy I came in for a $16 lunch. I said with a wink that I was going to the kitchen to see if they would provide the same smiles of thanks and was told that they would (No, I didn't go to find out.). Clearly a great team serving delicious food in an awesome setting made me wish I lived in Virginia Beach but then I stepped outside into the heat, humidity and hectic world that this FIVE STAR restaurant named Wang Jiang Lou made me forget about for an hour.

The chicken was tender, and the sauce was light enough to let all the flavors come through. Definitely a favorite! Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings -- 5/5 The wings were cooked to perfection--crispy, crunchy, and well coated with seasoning. The crispiness paired really well with the overall dish, and every bite had great flavor. Beef Pancakes -- 2/5 This was basically like a hand-held burger stuffed inside crispy dough. The onions added a nice flavor to the beef, and the chili oil on the table paired really well with it. However, I think it would have been much better if the beef had been mixed with a sweet soy sauce for a little more flavor and balance.

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
