King Wok — Restaurant in Carencro

Please keep in mind that I am being very generous with this one star, because if I could, I would give it a negative 0 because of the assault my taste buds endured. For starters, the “fried rice” was pretty decent and just about the only edible thing on the buffet. It’s pure white color threw me off, but I digress because it was something I actually enjoyed. The honey chicken wasn’t actually chicken but tiny pieces of brick battered in flour and deep fried with sauce thrown over it, and not to mention, cold. As an avid sushi eater and lover, I was highly, and I mean HIGHLY, disappointed with the lack of selection but the overall quality as well. The rice was hard, the cream cheese was bitter and the smell was horrid, which leads me to the next topic: the shrimp. My oh my, if I could go back the minute before subjecting my taste buds to such cruelty I would, just to save my save myself from utter disgust. For starters, they were not cocktail shrimp but somehow still managed to be freezing as if they were on ice while marinating in their bland juices. They were expired and undercooked which led to them being mushy and wet. The crawfish were small and unseasoned and it seems as though the corn that sat in the pan with it absorbed all of the flavoring. I could go on and describe in detail just about everything wrong with this buffet, but I believe I’ve touched on the gist of everything: cold, undercooked, and disgusting. Save your money and just go to Golden Corral or something because this is...

SHORT VERSION:

Although small in size and choices of food, this place is fantastic for those that love Chinese food.

Also being next to a bar (with loud music coming through the walls) makes it a little annoying to stay at times.

+. Would eat here again (and consume sugar donuts)

LONG VERSION:

I like to bring my wife here whenever we feel like eating out of the house. We've been here multiple times (around ten visits total) and we always like their food. As per any restaurant, they're busy on Sundays and lunch hours. If you're looking to avoid large crowds, then evening would be your best shot.

For food, they have a good amount of it. From the usual Chinese food to other items non-related (garlic bread, chicken nuggets, fries, etc.) They also have sushi, if you're into that sort of raw food. Not trying to be picky but I guess I'm getting tired of seeing the same food. At this point, I've tried everything. Even their cheesy crab meat (which I'll admit, not a fan of that sort of blend). I am a fatty when it comes to their sugar donuts though.

I should also point out that this is next to a bar called Pogie's. At times, the bar will play loud music that can be heard through the walls. It's somewhat bearable and the restaurant plays their own slow jazz (cover) music for your entertainment needs.

Overall, it's not great but it's good enough for your family if you wanted...

this place use to be a favorite of mine. It's just down the road from the house. but for a month and a half now their food has gone way down hill. I've gone back three times hoping their food would go back to the way it use to be but it hasn't. It tastes like they're using ketchup for there main ingredient on the BBQ chicken, well most of the chicken dishes. And the cheese crab dish tastes like it's made with mayonnaise. It's like they just don't care anymore what it tastes like as long as the colors match on the food. Ketchups red and so is BBQ sauce, it should work. But it doesn't, I don't know what's going on in the kitchen over there anymore. Now I am going to have to find a new spot for my...
