China Wok — Restaurant in Bessemer

Ohhhh no went to get a lunch buffet at 2:30 food looked like it'd been setting out for day's nobody there I get to counter she's weighing it ( WTH!!!! ) which was mind blowing being from west coast where they give you a ton of food which is usually enough for 2 people or myself it's like 3 meals for $7.95 so imagine my surprise when she weighed the to go box and then looks at me with a straight face and $22.95 what the hell I said ahhh no thanks you can through it out nobody and I mean nobody in a Chinese restaurant in my 59 yrs of eating Chinese food has a restaurant weighed or charged by weight trust me they pile it on so I'm literally like you can throw it in the trash it's not worth $10.95 let alone $22.95 and walked out what do they do when people walk in for a sit down meal follow them with the scale???? I'm from Las Vegas ( buffet capital) and Los Angeles area's and never ever seen that before I'm not a big person and don't eat much anyway having had stomach surgery and 75% of my stomach out !!!! So it's not like I went crazy with it or nothing like 1 spoon full of 3 or 4 things and a couple of egg rolls so OMG never would recommend this dump or go back evidently these 5 star reviews are fake or those people never have had authentic Chinese food in a nice Chinese restaurant before...

I has been supporting this business for years. It's no way the cashier who's also been here a long time, doesn't recognize the familiar face. Tonight, I was attempted to be charged $.75 extra for the same substitution I've been getting in the combination appetizer. She says she's never done that for me, so it's extra. So I take 2 shrimp off and sub for extra egg roll, I pay $.75 more. I take 2 shrimp off and ask for something else other than the egg roll that’s within the same price range, you tell me no substitute of those items. So I take the shrimp off without getting anything extra instead and you say I will still pay the same. However, she’s substituted shrimp for extra pork or chicken in the noodle dish. I don’t understand how now that’s okay in one but not the other. I would understand if it’s no substitutions, period and since we have a shrimp allergy I’d simply choose something else. I begin to say how I patronize the business weekly and she shrugs her shoulders, says I can have it this time but no more and cashes me out with an attitude. Clearly, she doesn't care about faithful customers, so I'll find a new place to support for our weekly...

01/25/2019- Gave me around 75 rice grains to put in my soup. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BUY THEM OUT. After 4 years of a disappointing experience with this chinese place. I decided to give it another try... I ordered the Rice Soup and it came with no Rice, after I complained, the cashier went to the back and brought what I could count around 75 rice grain(s) to put in my soup. After I laughed at the number of rice grains, She told me that if I wanted more than I needed to buy more. WOW. This is messed up.

11/2015-Terrible food was old and way overcooked. it looked like it was two days old. dry chicken wings. They told us that the reason that the chicken wings were dry cause it took us 15 minutes...
