Mr. Wok-Closed

Mr. Wok is a neighborhood fast food Chinese place, with food on steam trays and people ordering 1, 2, or 3 item combinations. I ordered the half rice and half chow mein with teriyaki chicken and mushroom chicken for $5.40.

The rice has some cabbage, carrots, and peas. Nothing great just your run of the mill fried rice. The chow mein is kinda of greasy and is just noodles and some cabbage mixed in.

The mushroom chicken is on the right side in the pictures. The chicken was bad. First of all there isn't that much chicken, mostly it's filled with potatoes, zucchini, and mushrooms. Which are cut up big so it makes it looks as though you're getting a lot. There was a very small amount of chicken and the chicken was pretty bland and tough. Not good. The fillers were good but it shouldn't be 75% fillers and 25% chicken.

The teriyaki chicken, they can't put in any fillers. But the chicken was cold!!!! It wasn't even luke warm, just cold!!!. The steam must not have been working!! The chicken was also bland and flavorless, even if you added the teriyaki sauce.

Service was good. I was greeted quickly and I told him what I wanted. He quickly filled the order and it was nice. But I would not go back. How can any hot item be served cold??? It just shouldn't happen. I also don't like the idea of adding big chucks of fillers to make it appear like you're getting a lot.
