Greetings Foodzies, today we travelled to 5349 w Belmont Ave home of Wok Dong a Colombian Chinese fusion restaurant. This restaurant opened June 7 of this year, everything inside is fresh and clean, including the white tables and the black chairs. They offer booth seating, table seating and they even have window seating. The walls are adorned tastefully in Chinese decor. The music is Hispanic, and the food is delicious. Our server Annie was fantastic, she was knowledgeable, friendly and very nice. She helped explain the cuisine which is the brainchild of the owner who is half Chinese half Colombian and his wife who is Colombian.
We began our culinary adventure with beef Lumpia which is a philippine eggroll, it was crunchy well filled, and was accompanied by two sauces; one was a garlic aïoli and the other a pineapple sauce. The garlic aïoli added a creamy texture to the beef filling, and the pineapple obviously added a sweet flavor, both together made for a different experience. We then went on to try the barbecue pork. We had a little bit of a hiccup with that, the pork was overdone and chewy; when we brought this to Annie's attention, she promptly had it remade and the pork this time was very delicious. For out third appetizer we tried was their wings. These wings were basically double fried, it had a light well seasoned breading on it, they were deep-fried, the wings then went into a wok and were tossed with different oils and peppers which added to the texture and the sweet-and-spicy flavors married perfectly together.
For our entrées we had the chow mein combination; the chow mein noodles were cooked to a perfect al dente and the combination of the green peppers with the beef, shrimp, chicken and barbecue pork in a tasty beef broth made for a well balanced dish.
We then chose the combination fried rice which also included beef, shrimp, chicken, and barbecue pork in a very tasty, well seasoned rice.
Lastly, we had the Fish Filet Szechuam; this a tilapia cut into lightly battered strips cooked in a wok with onions and Thai peppers which made for very tasty mildly spicy bites. We had a very enjoyable dinner; at the time that we went there we were the only patrons inside the restaurant, which made it better because we were able to talk to Annie and obtain a lot of information. Another tidbit is that all of their sauces, including the red spice sauce is all homemade.
I highly recommend this restaurant, I give it 5 stars. I suggest that you try it for yourself and let me know what you think. Ciao ciao for now. Don't forget to check out the full experience on TikTok and follow me (Smoking Papa) for more restaurant, reviews, and grilling videos.
