Life Is Journey C.

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while passing by. It offers a typical teriyaki menu, along with Korean dishes, some Japanese options (like sushi and tempura), and even jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles). The area is an industrial zone, so workers from nearby factories frequently drop in. Perhaps because of this, the restaurant opens early at 10 AM and closes early (3PM) as well. It seemed like the owners, a husband and wife, were the only ones working (I couldn't see the kitchen). The owner's wife took orders and served in the dining area. I arrived around 10:40 AM, a bit early for lunch, but there were already two tables with customers, and more people started coming in shortly after. I ordered four dishes, including Korean and teriyaki options. Typically, teriyaki places don't serve Korean side dishes (banchan), but since I ordered Korean food, they brought out banchan. The owner's wife apologized for the limited variety of side dishes and generously brought out extra. As I tasted the side dishes, they had a comforting, homemade quality, like a warm meal prepared at home. The flavors were neither too salty nor too bland, with a clean taste that didn't rely on artificial seasonings. The dishes--spicy pork bulgogi, seafood soft tofu stew, stone pot bibimbap, and Mongolian beef--reminded me of my mom's cooking, which I loved. While the food didn't have the commercialized taste of popular chain restaurants, it felt like it was made with care and attention, just like a meal prepared at home. This restaurant pleasantly exceeded my expectations. - Service: Following the typical teriyaki joint setup, you place and pay for your order at the counter before taking a seat. The staff then brings your meal to your table. A nice touch is the complimentary bottled water that accompanies your meal. - Price: Considering the generous portions and delightful taste, the pricing is quite reasonable. While I haven't compared it to other eateries in the vicinity, the value for money here stands out. - Food: The dishes shine with a home-cooked quality, free from overpowering artificial flavors. Each bite feels wholesome, capturing the essence of genuine, heartfelt cooking. - Ambiance: The setting is straightforward and functional, characteristic of fast-food-style teriyaki spots. It's not fancy, but it serves its purpose well. - Parking: There's ample parking available, though spaces can fill up quickly. Nevertheless, finding a spot wasn't an issue, and it's free of charge. In summary, this restaurant offers a delightful blend of authentic flavors and efficient service, making it a noteworthy spot for anyone craving quality teriyaki and more.

Hot soup and spicy bulgogi heal the soul when you are sick. Combos have variety, and the fried rice is seasoned very well. Also updated Menus.

Ordered the combo entree and soup set with spicy pork (daeji bulgogi) and black bean noodle. The combo comes with banchan. Definitely get an egg for the soup! Everything tasted delicious!

Dont be fool by the price because the teriyaki chicken tastes like jerky which mean its a few days old.

Wok's deli in the industrial area of Georgetown is a classic mom & pop teriyaki restaurant for your Asian pleasures. Love coming to this place for lunch time dining when I really want a big lunch for low cost. Always daily specials noted on board plus you have a plethora of other choices. No worries about finding something you like, it's do I want it in a single serving or combo meal. My favorite is the chicken & short rib combo. The meal comes with a salad (for my daily greens), rice and pile of shorts ribs and chicken all for $9.95. I mean how do they do it for so cheap? If your searching for some quality food look. I further. And if you want something sweet next door is The Cakes of Paradise for a slice of Hawaiian Cake or Pie. Bring a friend and share a meal or create a sample meal. You won't be disappointed , I know I'm not.

Wok's is on my regular rotation for lunch for a reason! The food is well prepared and the flavors pop on your tongue. I have two go to items I go for. Most of the time I order the Mushroom Chicken which is permanently on the specials board. Chicken, mushrooms, carrots and zucchini swimming in a slightly spicy broth, served with rice. So good! The other is the Meat Jun from the Korean side of the menu. Thinly pounded beef cooked in an egg batter and served with a trio of banchan. Try either and you will be happy.

I had take out today from this place. The order: jja jja mein (sp? Jjajangmyeon), pork soft tofu soup, and pork teriyaki. My husband said his pork teriyaki was good, but I was not a fan of the other two items ordered. The mein was too sweet for my taste buds. It wasn't terrible...I just would not order it again. The pork tofu soup was meh. It was pretty plain and they used teriyaki pork as the pork in it. I'll assume it's teriyaki chicken if I were to get chicken instead. I came home and added a little bit of the juice from kimchi and fish sauce. Made it a little better, but I wouldn't place another order again. I guess, just get the teriyaki!

The best part about the place is the complimentary egg drop soup at lunch, get there early though, it runs out quick. As far as the food, teriyaki is teriyaki. Kinda hard to screw that up. They have great portions for a fat ass like me. The staff is very courteous and friendly. The building is kinda run-down, but not that uncommon among Georgetown buildings or even teriyaki joints. There's a several teriyaki joints with-in a block of here, however, I always come here for that egg drop soup. By far the best I've had. Get there early though for the soup and a good parking spot, the lot fills up quick at lunchtime.

I've been driving past this place for some time. Didn't quite sure what to think of a place w/ 2 names (Wok's Teriyaki and Korean Food), but I decided to take my fam out for a quick bday lunch today! And what an awesome surprise it was!! We ordered spicy pork bulgogi and beef short kalbi ribs. Both dishes r worth $36 and then some! The portions were large and the leftover is worth 4 more meals for us. Each dishes were laid on top of perfectly steamed cabbage. Both dishes came w/ a side of Korean side bowls (kimchi, sweetened tofu and sliced potatoes) and a small bowl of ! Free Chinese egg drop soup and sweet&sour soup for everyone! My mom always say if the soup is good then the food is gotta great, and they sure were delicious! Quick serving. Decently cleaned place. Great for quick eat. Polite waitress. I would def come back again and would recommend the place to everyone.

Yummy, generous... But the usual basic teriyaki joint. Disappointed there isn't any bubble tea here :'( Parking in front is limited but I've never had a problem the couple times I've come here sorting the lunch hour :) I really enjoyed the flavor of the Honey Garlic Chicken but it was way more breading than meat :/
