Best WLM Reviews

Very good quality food. This location has gone through different revisions over the years but still remains - now, it seems, just as take out (since Covid). The food is very good and the quality is obvious (see photo of giant shrimp). Definitely worth a lot more than what is being charged (remember that when you consider adding a tip ????)
10/10. The last place where $10 gets you more food than you can handle. $20 stuffs three grown folks. Call ahead though, inside has been remodeled to be mostly for take-out.
Food was ridiculously sweet borderline inedible. Got a ‘spicy’ dish and just tasted like sweet soy sauce. Won’t be back unfortunately cause they used to be ok.
Went on lunch. 1 other person was there. No problems with ordering. Health rating was in the 80's. That scared me, but I was already there. Ordered the Singapore Mai Fun. Always my favorite. Hot & spicy. Also ordered an egg roll. The egg roll did not taste right. Only ate half. The tea was not good either. Switched out for diet coke. Gave 3 stars because the food was fresh and the employee seemed thankful I was there.
Chef King has wonderful staff - very friendly & kind. With that said, please steer clear. $30 will get you a nice sized meal- chicken fried rice, wings, shrimp fired rice, egg rolls and crab ragoon. The price is not the issue here. The oil cooking oil and dirty kitchen is the problem. The food will leave you with a nasty after taste in your mouth and stomach pain.
Literally the best Chinese Food in the city!
Walked in and placed was busy. This was my first time and figured that was good news. Age of patrons seems to range, another good sign. No health rating in sight and did not see anyone walking around grading. I started to get nervous. There was also a large area of plastic where the enterance to the back would probably be? Things have gotten weird since covid so I let it roll without much thought. I did see the cashier wash her hands before handling food. I then felt more confident about the places hygiene. Did I ask to see the health rating? No. I did look closely into the kitchen and didn't see anything too scary so I figured you gotta die some time and didn't walk out and bought the food. Upon inspection and I inspected closely since I really don't want food poisoning right now, it looks fine (bought sesame ckn combo). The taste of the ckn was soft and chewy with average to slightly below average veg. fried rice. The consistency of the ckn was sort of worrying and also had a (hot dog taste?) I don't know but after eating a few more bites didn't chance anymore of the food and felt like a pb&j would be a better option.
Great service, the food is inconsistent from day to day but overall have had a great meal there usually. Highly recommend their black pepper chicken and their fried rice is always cooked very well.
