Manchu Wok — Restaurant in Newmarket

I ordered from here twice. The first time, I ordered the 2 item combo. I got the General Tso Chicken, Black pepper beef & noodles, and a chicken egg roll and a strawberry kiwi drink. The guy who served me was kind enough to ask if I'd like the egg roll separate so it doesn't get soggy in the box. Overall, it was decent as I really enjoyed the black pepper beef. I received a generous portion, but the General Tso chicken was tough and overcooked, and I spent $23.61.

I ordered a second time, and I chose the 1 item combo. I got the Black pepper beef and noodles again and another chicken egg roll. This time, however, the egg roll was just placed in the container, so it got a bit soggy, and I got 5 or 6 small pieces of beef, lots of noodles and a lot of large chunks of onions. It's disappointing considering it's not cheap, and I felt ripped off at the second visit.

The staff are friendly, though, because of the unfair portion of meat at my second visit for $17.50, it's unlikely I'll be back considering there are so many other options.

The photo is just to show the bulk of onions and green pepper more than beef. It's definitely not a fair meat to beef ratio.

Maybe I'll go back and give them another chance because the...

Staff are great, so friendly. But my god, WHAT ARE THOSE CHICKEN BALLS? I had a craving for deep-fried, crispy sweet and sour chicken balls, and after debating over several Chinese take out places in the area, I decided to come here. Now I remember why I never go here. The balls are lightly dusted in batter and are so tiny. So disappointing. I skipped them entirely and got a spring roll (so crispy, yummy), the honey garlic chicken (not amazing, but pretty good) and the lo mein (which was REALLY good, fresh, mmmm).

TLDR: Only come here if you want anything, BUT good...

I love Manchu Wok, food is great! But I can say this location is quite lacking compared to others I've been to when it comes to portions and service. Every where else I've been, they literally load the containers full, but here they hardly even give you any noodles or rice. On top of that they never ask you if you have manchu wok rewards or even give you a card for it like they do at other locations... That being said, their honey garlic chicken is always amazing, but their sweet and sour pork is okay at the most. Might try something different next time I'm...
