OK - so I don't know what happened to this place since I've been gone, but I love the change! This place has done a complete 180 since my last visit and I ain't even mad about it. If they keep this up, I can see this Wok 'n Fire location rackin' up those stars.
So, here's what you missed last time: came for the happy hour and the food was amazing, but the service was absolutely horrendous from the hostess to the server to the manager...NIGHTMARE
Fast forward to my latest visit........................................................................................
For a quick going away meal before my train, my friend and I decided to hit up the happy hour special here (half off apps and select drinks!!!), taking our chances, especially after what had transpired last time - we were cautiously optimistic. Surprisingly, after arriving, we were greeted by the hostess, whom was very friendly and led us to the bar (note: happy hour special only valid in bar area)
As quick as we were seated, our server, Tara, greeted us, told us about the specials, and got our drink orders. As usual, our eyes were waay bigger than our stomachs and we ordered:
CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS
Such a light and refreshing dish! There are so many textures with the cool crispy lettuce, unctuous ground chicken and crunchy fried noodles with a sweet and tangy sauce. YUM.
CHICKEN DUMPLINGS
These were nothing great - in fact, I know I can and have made better ones at home. Skip it!
CALAMARI
I'm a sucker for fried calamari. It is so frickin' tender and fried to crispy crunchy perfection! Just can't get enough of it. You just can't go wrong with this dish. It's served with a sweet tomato sauce - kinda like ketchup? SOOO GOOOD...get it!
CRAB CAKE HAND ROLLS
This dish is kinda a cross between sushi and a spring roll. There's a deep fried crab cake with rice, lettuce, avocado wrapped inside rice paper topped with a dollop of spicy mayo and sprinkle of sesame seeds - perfect bite! It's served with a yummy Asian slaw with cabbage, carrots, red onion and crunchy noodles - DELISH.
TUNA POKE
Poke is basically raw fish that's seasoned and marinated that's served throughout Hawaii. The poke comes served with crispy rice chips stacked up like a napoleon alternating with a layer of poke then chip and so on. It's served with pickled ginger and a wasabi sauce as well as a sweet sauce - I highly recommend this dish!
The service compared to my last visit was day and night. The food came out super fast and Tara was incredibly attentive even though there were many patrons in the restaurant, always making sure to check on us and refill our drinks. Additionally, there was different manager filling in who was very friendly and welcoming while we were dining. Overall, we had amazing and CHEAP food (only about $25 for 5 large apps) with great service! I can definitely see myself coming back again if they keep up what they're doing!
