A perrenial favorite amongst our friends, we were eager to try Kwoks. Its a small restaurant, with only 7 tables (by my count) so be sure to make a reservation. I believe reservations are required on weekends.
We went to Kwoks before catching a show at the Pioneer, so leftovers wasn't going to a great option, which forced us to order only a few plates.
The consensus of the table, the prize dish was the Honey Walnut Prawns. Crunchy with a hint of sweetness, the prawns were cooked to perfection. Often Honey Walnut Prawns are just too sweet, not at Kwoks. Perfection.
The second favorite dish, out our table was the Braised Tofu with Vegetables. The tofu was flavorful, simmered in a delicious sauce. Served with mushrooms and accompanied with baby bok choi. A delicious and healthy dish.
Next came the 5 spice Pork. Fried Pork slices tossed with 5 Spice Salt, Jalapeños, Garlic and Scallions. The pork was served boneless, a small but welcome detail. The pork was flavorful, tender and moist.
The last dish was the Beef Chow Fun with Gravy. Stir-fried Ho Fun Noodles with House Gravy, Bok Choy and choice of Chicken, Beef or Pork. Also served with baby Bok Choi. The Chow Fun noodles were delicious but tended to stick together so a bit of work to separate them. A small detail in an otherwise delightful dish.
The service was prompt, welcoming and professional, especially for such an intimate restaurant.
A great first visit, we look forward to planning our next.
