CHINA WOK CARTERET — Restaurant in Carteret

Changed. They’re crapola now. No edamame, no white meat for dishes, $5 up charge if you want it and you get nothing. It’s coated in breading 5x the size of the chicken, uncooked and unsatisfactory. They say white meat is only for large order, but it’s just a scam. Nothing is EVER crispy no matter how you word it and ask for it. Quality has gone way down. The recipes have changed. My first ever dish was the sesame chicken, it was thin, crispy, white meat. Now it’s the same texture as sweet and sour (big dough pieces, this is the scam as you’re not getting a large order just huge pieces of dough) the craft and quality that once made them a special addition to Carteret, has now made them as gross and unappealing as every other place in and around town. Back to ordering from Rahway until we find a good quality, Brooklyn style and worthy place....

Couldn’t be happier with my experience. I’m a trucker and ordered delivery to my truck while waiting to get unloaded. I estimated time of delivery was 60 min. They were literally there in 15. I order crab Rangoon, hot and sour soup, steamed white rice and chicken lo mein. The Rangoon were beautifully golden brown and the filling was perfect. The soup was top tier and felt so good. They brought any sauce I could have thought of mentioning and the hot and sour paired perfectly with the lo mein. Wish I could give this place a 10/5 rating. Got the best bang for my buck and I’m excited to try more next time I’m in the area. Truly impressed...

The food here is nothing that you can’t get anywhere else. But the kicker was the $.30 they charge for the bag to carry your food out. Of course I wasn’t told about this $.30 charge because I have a car full of bags I could’ve used. I won’t go back again. Oh, I can afford the $.30. It’s just the dishonest way it was done. Nowhere on their menu or their website does it say they charge you $.30 for the bag to carry...
