    I'm a sucker for a local, hole-in-the-wall, Chinese restaurant and I've lost track of how many I've tried during my travels, some with others and many by myself (Mrs. Baker's high standards and desire not to face Death any sooner than necessary keep her away from most of them). Often I'm pleasantly surprised, but more often I'm so disappointed that I have to ask myself why I punish my taste buds with such mediocre fare. Nonetheless, an unknown Chinese restaurant, however off-putting the exterior (or even the interior), is not unlike a fortune cookie or even Forest Gino's box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. As for The Wok in Livingston, I really did pretty much know what I was going to get and I got it. Very mediocre Chinese food (the hot and sour soup was the one exception on the side of good), but plenty of it. I was a tad worried when I walked in at around :530 on a Friday evening and there was no one, other than the owners, anywhere to be seen. Luckily, the owners were nice, the decor and tables were clean enough, and the food was delivered promptly and hot. If only there had been some taste to it all. I'll probably go again (sans Mrs. B). There just aren't very many Chinese food restaurants in Montana. (Sigh)

    Crab puff

    Livingston is a pretty tiny town. I am from Cali, so we are spoiled with flavorful food, so I see things with food/flavors differently. My order was a total of $58, wow, but I did order alot. I ordered the crab puffs, wok chow mien, shrimp friend rice and sesame chicken. The crab puffs were yummy, fried rice was tasty but salty, chow mien was blah, sesame chicken had a spice but not much flavor. Maybe try a bigger city like Bozeman for Chinese food?

    We were there on a late Tuesday afternoon, so we were the only customers except for the frequent carry out orders. So our service was fast, our food fresh and tasty. We were trying to order so that we didn't have leftovers to take home, and still get a variety. The server was told of my shellfish allergy and was willing to make substitutions if we got the combo meals. We ended up ordering a bowl of hot and sour soup to share. It really was good - the right balance of hot vs sour. We also got the appetizer platter - egg roll, chicken, cheese puff and pork. Everything was good - to me the pork was a little dry and under seasoned. Then we ordered the orange chicken with pork fried rice. The chicken was perfectly cooked- nice and crispy! The sauce was a surprise - not the dark orange we usually see, but obviously made with real orange. The menu showed it as a spicy dish, but it was not. It was still good. The pork fried rice was decent but seemed a little dry to me. So this is really a 4.5 rating, but the service pushed it to a 5-star.

    Chicken & Broccoli

    This is a small, family owned authentic Chinese restaurant. The food was served hot and the portions are generous. I ordered Kung Pao chicken and it was delicious! It did have a healthy dose of celery (too much for my liking but of course that's subjective ) my husband ordered the General Tso's Chicken and it was fabulous! My mom got the Broccoli and chicken, again it was flavorful and appealing. Since it is family run, expect a little longer of a wait but so worth it! I'd definitely go back and my parents who live nearby have frequented this place for years. The grandma cleaned the table next to us and she did a better job than anyone ever has at a restaurant. Five stars in my opinion!

    Sweet + Sour Chicken and Sesame Chicken with Fried Rice.

    On vacation + our first time eating here and it was GOOD!! Could use a little updating.. like most small town Chinese restaurants but don't knock it until you try it! The service was very good as well as the food, presentation + cleanliness of dinning area. Will visit again!

    There really aren't too many Chinese choices out in Montana. We went with this one since it's within five miles of our hotel. The Wok is owned by a Cantonese man and they basically serve Americanized Chinese food. We had the shrimp with assorted vegetable, seafood soup with egg, and noodles with mushrooms and pork. The entrees came with a big bowl of rice for sharing. The rice was a bit dry though. Nothing really stood out other than the fact, these are not the typical authentic Chinese dishes usually served. My visiting friends from Shanghai found them tolerable because the flavors were light and not too oily. Our bill came out to approximately $50 before tip.

    Great food, they handle my food allergies perfectly. If you have wheat allergy, I recommend snow peas vegetable chicken.

I was talking to the kitchen staff and told them that AI told me about the dumplings and to please hold an order in case I had to take it to go. Front of house Staff were great, the kitchen were guys amazing, and the place was clean The ppl I sat around were all very happy with their food. One couple lived in Bozeman and the other couple were from New Orleans. They both spoke highly of the place. Go try it. Call ahead. I tend to wing it and that's not the best way to go. I got lucky :) David

    I went here last week and had a great meal…read more We were running 10 mins late and I called ahead - the person couldn't have been nicer about us running behind (childcare woes). When we arrived we apologized for being late - the guy who seated us informed us as he hustled us to our seats, that we'd need to move fast because they still have another seating after us as we were seated at the bar in the back. (We had not planned to spend a lot of time at dinner) but with the pressure on, we ordered within 3 mins of sitting down. The food came out fast, so fast that the kitchen brought out double of what we ordered at least 3x and we had to tell them each time we had already gotten our dishes. They even brought one once our leftovers were boxed up. That being said, our dinner was great, I love khao soi and I thought theirs was great. The tomato salad was great, and cabbage was yummy. We were in and out in an hour given what we were told. No one said good bye as we left. It was like we were ghosts.

There is really nothing special about it. Typical menu items, typical sauces and combinations. Lots of pork stuff. Overall atmosphere is very nice. The dining area is clean and the dishes are not generic. Glasses are glass. It has the feel of a high end Asian restaurant inside and the staff is very courteous and accommodating. I did not wait long for service, my beverage, my appetizer or my main entree. Presentation was great. Vegi's were fresh and stir fried perfectly. Rice was delicate and also perfectly cooked. My appetizer was the crab wontons, always a favorite. Portion size was normal and they were filled well, maybe a little too well, because the inner part of the wanton was still a little too doughy for my liking. They had a good flavor though. My main dish was the Szechuan chicken, I like this dish because it is usually both a little sweet and a little spicy. This dish was just salty, no spice, no sweet. The sauce looked good but had no flavor except salt. Everything was cooked to perfection but the taste of the dish was flat. Overall it was an acceptable meal. Triple the prices for all of the menu items shown here. It's about 20$ a plate on average. Except for lunch.
