Best Wok — Restaurant in Collins

Ok, I try and support the small business nearby as much as I can these days. But I’m going to have to go scorched earth on this one. I wish I would have taken pictures so I had more proof, but here we go. So we live near Magee where there is literally hardly anywhere good to eat besides Salsa’s Mexican Food in the old Pizza Hut location. So we wanted Chinese this weekend and the way we got treated at the China Buffet in Magee last time we decided to try Best Wok. To be honest I wish we would have just got Little Cesar’s. So we drove the 25 mins down to Collins and Best Wok was deserted. So we read the reviews and they seemed ok. Walked in and they didn’t have the A/C on so it was pretty hot. Again, I wish I had followed my first instinct to leave cause of the A/C not being on. But I decided to try it out anyway. Ordered between $50 and $60 worth of food. It all came out within 5 minutes so we knew it was most likely not cooked fresh and was probably from the day before’s leftovers. I’m 99.9% sure I was correct about that after I took the first bite. Everything was overcooked and/or hard as a rock. All the flavors were bland or just plain off. I feed my dogs better food than I was served that day. Probably the biggest disappointment in recent memory. If your gonna go here anyways, I would wait until 5 or 6 when yesterdays food has already gone out to the idiots like us who ate before then. Service was mediocre at best, and the place was pretty clean as were the bathrooms. In their defense, they did turn on the A/C after they saw us sweating before we even got our main dishes. 2 stars for being relatively clean and for turning on the A/C. Will never step foot in...

It was my 1st time to dine here, & it was actually my better halfs choice. I went expecting your run of the mill Americanized Chinese Restaurant, and when I saw the menu board & then read tge menu, well, I knew I was right. We ordered, had a seat and they brought my entree out in a pretty timely manner, but it was several minutes before the better halfs order showed up, which is never a good thing in a restaurant. Now one I tried my shrimp fried rice, I was pleasantly surprised, but the cool thing was that the surprises didn't stop there, I had ask them to make my Garlic Shrimp extra spicy, & they were the 1st Chinese Restaurant that has ever actually made it spicy enough that I could taste & enjoy the heat. So needless to say I was impressed with my meal. Now the better half had ordered pork fried rice, which was just as good as mine was, and her coconut chicken had the best batter on it that either of us have ever had in a Chinese restaurant, it was not that bready type found in most Chinese Restaurant's, but instead was more like a fresh tempura batter. We will be going bacj just for there chicken because of that batter. All-N-All, this was the best Americanized Chinese Food that I have ever had!!! The only reason for the 4 star rating was the fact that our food did not come out at the same time & it was just too hot inside there, but neither of those are deal breakers! If you find yourself in Collins Mississippi & want a surprisingly good meal, then by all means stop in at...

The food and service is amazing! The atmosphere is a bit plain but still very comfortable & open. Aside from the fact that they did not have fountain drinks the place is without reproach and clean. The food is outstanding. For 2 kids and 3 adults we spent almost $90 bucks but the amount of food we got really fed us twice so it was absolutely worth it. We got Chicken chow mein, 2 chicken with broccoli, a chicken low mein, 5 small egg drop soups, 2 order of cheese wonton and a large order of pot stickers. Every single morsel was perfectly cooked! 1000% recommend this place I even marked it on my maps to come back to as we were just passing g through...
