“ We go to them once a week and they always come thru. From the fried rice to the chicken wings they are always on point! ”
“ The absolute best Chinese food! The shrimp and broccoli were savory and it was a great amount of food. 10/10, would absolutely recommend. ”
“ The place doesnt look like much but those are some of the best chicken wings ive ever had and the fried rice is very tasty.. definitely worth a try ”
“ It's the only place I found that serves authentic Chinese food at a really cheap price. They looks like regular American Chinese food place but it's not, it's really unique. You can try real Kong Pao chicken here and you can see potatoes in their recipes. You can tell the cook really know how to cook Chinese food, not like other Chinese restaurants cooks that only start learning cooking after they arrived America. The food is not the fanciest, but delicious enough for me wanting to go there everyday. And it's cheap enough to make all Chinese students' lives easier here. I feel lucky to know there is a place like here. Hope they can run the business forever. Recommend the potato series, string bean series and, of course, Kong Pao chicken. ”
“ Very tasty, plenty of food. Deliver food quickly. The Shrimp Eggplant combinations are super tasty. ”
“ Local Chinese places are a dime-a-dozen around here. They seem to be on every corner next to a bar and a church. The menus are all pretty standard and generic and the service is almost always interchangeable between them. Central Wok is no real exception to the rule. The only thing that stands out is the food is a bit better than the other places. My standard is pork fried rice with fried chicken wings (cause I'm a health conscious kinda guy) and they are by far the best in the area. Trust me, my wife and I order out a lot amd have tried everywhere else. The shrimp lo mein is good as well- my wife's standard. And when I request extra soy sauce (again, I'm a health nut) they never fail to deliver. Speaking of delivery- I have never had a problem with their service. Never been there- but who really wants to see the place. Think I'm happier not knowing. :) Out of the millions upon billions of Chinese takeout places in the area this is a good place. Have Fun ”
