wah kee chinese noodle restaurant

i friend and i tried wah kee for lunch recently. there are two rooms with many tables. we had to step into the second room to find the waiter to seat us. they were not very crowded. the waiter was very friendly. they have an extensive menu.

after perusing their menu, i decided to try one of their lunch specials: szechuan spicy pork. my thinking was there were so many items on the menu, i would try one of the lunch specials which they would be expecting to sell many of and make well. i was disappointed in the dish. it was very bland, covered in a brown sauce, and i didn't notice much if any spice. it did have lots of vegetables, zucchini, bamboo shoots, onion, mushrooms and came with a large portion of rice. for an appetizer i had the sticky rice in lotus leaf. this was much better although again it could have used more flavor. i did enjoy the dense chewy sticky texture of the rice and the chunks ofchickeninside. my dining companion had the cashewchickenand said it was very good.

i would be willing to go back. i don't think i would try another lunch special, but would go for something else and hope it had more flavor.

mixed reviews. we ordered takeout from wah kee this weekend. the time between placing our order and receiving our food was phenominal! the staff was very helpful with our menu questions while ordering, which was much-needed since the entree options were many!

i ordered the korean bbq beef (bulgogi) fried rice (f3). the fried rice was very tasty! they weren't stingy with the extra ingredients within the rice. i had expected the bulgogi to be cut into smaller, chunks and mixed throughout the rice, but there were 3 large pieces of beef on top of a bed of rice instead. i've had bulgogi that has been more tender, but as a whole i was pleased.

my boyfriend ordered general tso'schicken(g2). he was a little disappointed in the quality of his plate, indicating that it was low on flavor.

the prices were a little higher than an average chinese menu, but i thought the quality of food was higher as well. our review is inconclusive; i guess you'll have to try them out for yourself. :)
