    It's not wow bao it's sizzlers and the bao tasted like metal almost. Not impressed... don't take the risk out of spite of the bad reviews.

It's a small space and we were greeted with the menus, boba and dim sum, and some water. Our waitress was so sweet and friendly! We ordered 7 dim sum items and all of them took me back to the delicious places I remembered from sacrament. Sparks NEEDES this time of authentic cuisine. I will definitely be back! Pro Tip- you can also order from Shanghai's menu (Chinese and sushi) and eat it on the dim sum side. It was perfect for our kiddos. Everyone got something they wanted!

They don't have to be, but they shouldn't be made like this....

    The Wok punches so high above Reno's weight class it's insane. The Sichuan menu is absolutely…read morekiller, and I think the best food experience in Reno. The Wok is one of those places, and Sichuan/Chongqing food is one of those things that I'm jealous of people who get to experience it for the first time. Here's how to have an epic time at The Wok: Step 1. Get 4 to 8 people total that aren't afraid to try something a little different and maybe slightly spicy (seriously though it's not actually that spicy). If you need help with this step message me, I'd share a meal with some random people if it's at The Wok. Step 2. Flip to the back page of the menu, and order a few things that sound good to the group. Don't waste your time with the American Chinese menu (even though what I've had off of that menu is actually really good too). Make sure to get a decent mix of stuff like appetizers, veggies, noodle, soup, and meat dishes. Also don't be afraid to order multiple times. This gives you more time with the menu, and you can judge what sounds good in the moment. Step 3. Share the food family style with everyone until you are all full. I think at this point I've eaten everything on the Sichuan menu, and can say that if it sounds good to you, it is! Some of my favorite dishes are: Wontons in Chili oil, Bone in chicken wings, Spicy boiled fish fillet, Beef noodle soup, Green beans, Salt and Pepper tofu, Dan dan noodles, and Mapo Tofu. Finally, Janet (the manager) is amazing, and always willing to give a recommendation.

    It was surprisingly the foods are very good! This is our first visit to this restaurant!…read moreThe foods are very delicious! The chicken in the green beans was not dry and moist and also a lot of favorite to it! The pork chop was done very well! I like my fried pork chops without a lot of batter, very tasty! We will be returning to eating other dishes...

    From start to finish, it was an outstanding epicurean delight…read more Our group of five fierce women completely and absolutely enjoyed every moment and every bite of the beautifully presented dishes. The portions were generous with plenty of leftovers to pack up in takeout boxes for enjoying for another day. My favorite three were the ahi tuna, the black cod and the brilliant asian/french mash up of red Bean Creme Brulee. I also need to mention, I loved the lamb tenderloin. I am not a big lamb fan, but this New Zealand lamb was tender and non-gamey. The owners did an outstanding job of timing the dishes and engaging with our group while also taking care of other diners including non event patrons getting getting take-out and inhouse menu dining. The space is very small, but even with and almost full house, it didn't feel cramped. Even though Kwok's is right across the street from where I live, this restaurant would be at the top of my list of "I would drive out of my way to eat here"

    Would come back? Yes…read more Placed a reservation for a Sunday evening. The inside of the restaurant is small. It was cooler inside but once service started, it started to get hot and didn't feel much AC. Ordered the duck noodle soup, shrimp and beef clay pot, and tofu with vegetables. Everything was cooked properly (veggies cooked perfectly, shrimp & protein were on point and not overdone) BUT the flavors are subtle. Seasoning could've been increased just a bit on everything - lacked salt. Overall, would come here again for another round.

    Fun to try this place after having it on my list forever. I didn't realize it was a fast casual…read moreplace so we walked in thinking we would be waited on...whoops! No big deal, just something to mention. We started with the kimchi fries- great flavor but the fries were hard to grab without using utensils. Wish larger fries had been used....kind of felt like we got the bottom of the batch! Variety of noodle and rice dishes. I needed more heat so I asked for their chili oil to up the heat. I wish the water offered had ice or was cold. Also wish utensils and napkins were more available. Service was fast and friendly - we even got some potstickers extra free of charge since the items we ordered came out all at different times.

    This place came highly recommended to me by a local and then when I saw it was on Yelp's top 100…read moreplaces in the country I knew I had to try it! We stopped by on a Sunday, which is their Dim Sum day. What I really like about this place is that they only prep a limited number of items and when they're done, that's it! So if you want to enjoy their food, you need to get here early! We came at 11:20am (they opened at 11:00am) and it was packed already. By 12:30pm they were out of a few items already. We got the chicken dumplings, crab rangoons, and Khao Sai with chicken. Wow, just incredible all around. The items were served quickly and piping hot. We sat at the bar so we could peek around the corner into the kitchen and watch them prep and slang these items with such speed and precision. I haven't found many places that serve Khao Soi so I knew I needed to get it. The broth was so rich with a spicy complex flavor and a generous portion of noodles. I got the steamed chicken while my friend got the fried chicken - honestly, we probably could've split it, especially since we got the other dim sum items. The owner is amazing, so friendly and really wants everyone to feel welcome. He knew so many people and it makes me want to be a regular here (too bad I don't live in Reno!) The owner is expanding his offerings and occasionally does a drag brunch, which seems really fun! Do yourself a favor and stop by here early and enjoy the amazing food!

We ordered Beef Chow Fun, Salt and Pepper Pork Chop, Sautéed Garlic Green beans, and Mongolian Beef. All had great flavor and we left not feeling bogged down or dehydrated from too much sodium. My favorite part was the Salt and pepper pork chop-very flavorful and not greasy. Definitely new favorite spot when we visit Reno.

Decor is a bit overdone, but that seems to fit the vibe of anywhere with casinos, so can't blame them for trying to fit in. A bar dominates the view from the entrance, then ample tables of several sizes to the right. We filled the rear corner (two giant tables) and had mostly good food, although the sweet and sour chicken was forgettable. A fried squash (pumpkin?) was delectable, had some very good bean curd/mixed veggies, the Sichuan water fish did the job but was a bit short from the best I've had-- which to be fair is tough because there is so much Sichuan food everywhere these days. A second veggie dish with lotus root was also excellent, and the sweet and sour pork, while not memorable, was distinctly better than the sweet and sour chicken.

    Support local…read more Quality/Quantity - Today I took my guest here, from SF, where Perapol is also from. Then we went back to the casino GSR. Today we got the following: Garlic Pork & Rice - My dish. Deep fried pork with garlic, what is there NOT to like?!?! I did not expect it to be bite size pieces, which made it easy to eat. The sauce was on the side, which was not really needed. My rice might have been slightly undercooked...? Very firm/hard, or was it the last of the pot? Still good, but I would preferred it softer. Wonton Noodle Soup - A classic dish, another dish that is very hard to do wrong. Both dishes were perfect quantities for us, both light eaters. No left overs. Many other menus, specials, etc. See my pictures or their website. Atmosphere - Decent size location. Much bigger than the previous location. Indoor and outdoor seating. Free metered parking after 6pm, we got here at 6:01pm, lol. Summer hours - See my pictures. Still closed Mondays. Service - Perapol is very personable. He took the time to talk with all the customers and checked up on us frequently. Price - $30 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success at this new location since 2023 and your previous location since 2021.

    Stopped by to see if this place lived up to the Yelp hype, since it's ranked number 85 out of 100…read moretop spots to eat in the US. Unfortunately, for me, it was all hype and not much substance. First off, the ambiance wasn't what I look for when dining out -- industrial, loud, and filled with metal chairs. Not exactly inviting or comfortable. I ordered two of the recommended dishes: Thai Boat Noodles and Garlic Pork with Ginger Coconut Rice. Of the two, the Thai Boat Noodles was the standout it woudl be something I'd order again. The Garlic Pork dish including the rice, though, was a letdown. It tasted okay, nothing memorable. Take a look at the photo of my entrée: it looks sad and unfinished. With so many other great Asian spots both here in Reno and back home in Minden, we won't be back.
