1 review for Wah Lock Restaurant
This is my Chinese delivery place o' choice for two reasons. First, they are nice on the phone (almost too nice...the woman who answers the phone asked me a personal question the other night which made it quite plain that she and the delivery guy gossip about customers), but they are friendly, which counts for something in the surly world of fast-food Chinese.
Second, they are the only place around that offers my very favorite Chinese dish: Cold Sesame Noodles. Fancy Meiwah downtown seems to have it, but no one else. Maybe the other places think it's too lowly to include? Lowlier than egg rolls? So the noodles are very good for what they are (total Chinese comfort/junk food). The Homestyle Tofu is my favorite veg dish (and they seem to specialize in offering vegetarian meat-substitute dishes with TVP), the Ta Chien Chicken is pretty tasty. Their General Tso is as good as the average chicken candy. Because there is a $10 minimum delivery charge, when you add tax, etc. you can't really get away with less than a $12.50 price tag (not including tip), but it still seems like a good enough deal for the many occasions when I just can't bear the idea of cooking or leaving the house. Wah Lock is a good place for what it is: just one of the millions of Chinese take-outs around here. It is made a bit special by it's inclusion of the Sesame Noodles. You could do much worse.
