Moon Wok — Restaurant in Dallas

This is the biggest, yummiest, eggiest, meatiest pork fried rice I have ever had!

I was at the high noon Mass for The Assumption of Mary at St. Patrick. Our priest Father Ignacio spoke of his memories of this occasion from his earliest days. He mentioned how as a small child he always looked forward to the celebration that came after, with sweet breads and chocolate!

At the end of his homily, he suggested going to a nice lunch to continue our celebration of Mary, the Mother of Christ.

Driving away, I was smitten with a massive craving for pork fried rice. Not being familiar with the non-buffet-oriented Chinese restaurants in the area, I went online to find a candidate, hoping in the process to identify a future locality for non-buffet Chinese dining.

I found Moon Wok and walked in. I spoke to the lady at the counter and told her I wanted a BIG PORK FRIED RICE! And add an egg roll and a drink.

Son, I was NOT disappoint!

When I saw the plate coming at me like a battering ram, I already knew I was going to be getting a to-go box. The large dish was piled inches high with ricey, meaty goodness, and they certainly didn't let me down in the egg category. The egg pieces were numerous, large, yellow and voluminous. I was really thinking about the eggs on the way there. They're critical and I was amazed that I didn't even have to ask for a lot of egg as I thought I might.

And the meat... no mere, small cubes of pork, but great, honking HUNKS of pork white meat. Behind every grain of rice was a hunk of pork! I found myself pushing away pork to get at the rice!

And the old restaurant trick that we've all come to expect was not employed here. The meat was not just stacked on top to make it look like there was a lot. There really WAS a lot! All throughout the rice, from large pieces all the way down to small pieces! It was very fun digging through there with my chopsticks, because I always knew there'd be more porcine goodness at every turn.

And it was TENDER and flavorful!

The egg roll was great, as well. I won't expend too much energy on the description. It held it's own. That much I will say.

The rest of the dish was your usual peas and carrots... and I added a good amount of soy sauce (after I tasted the fried rice first!!!!) and it was a creation from Heaven!

This was the best pork fried rice I've ever had in 53 years of life!!!!! And I still have HALF of it at home for later!!!!!! All this for $11.03! :-D

I must say... this was a meal fit for the celebration of The Assumption of Mary! Thanks, Father Ignacio, for the suggestion!

I WILL be back here again.

As usual, four stars is like five from me. They may grow to five stars after I've been there a few more times, but five stars is a measure of continuing quality and service, so it can't really be assessed in a...

Horrible service and rude. I ordered food for delivery they bought me food with hair in it and the wrong order. I asked for ribs on the bone they bought me some chopped up meat with hair in it disgusting it looked like worms in barbeque sauce. I immediately called them and informed them angry and appalled I wanted to inform them of there disgusting mistake. And I wanted my money back I paid cash so I couldn't cancel my payment. The woman on the phone placed me on hold for 10-15 minutes when she returned to the line she finally comes back to the phone (a different person) and say I have to come in if I want a refund. I drive up to tbe location zhe tells me the usually don't allow refunds. I informed her that since it was THEIR (disgusting) mistake she should. The delivery drive walks and behind the Asian woman points and she hands me a $10,$5, and a $1 mind you I paid $17.91 for yhe food. I ask were the $1.91 is and she stands there looking crazy and says gas fee. I let her have it since they are that desperate. I leave and go to to get something to eat else where using the money they gave me at Moon Wok to pay for my meal it came to $9.00 so I gave them the $10 I had JUST received from Moon Wok and was informed the $10 was counterfeit it was fake. I called the police and they claimed there was nothing they could do. I went back and of course she played ABSOLUTELY stupid. DO NOT EAT OR PATRONIZE this business. They have no respect or care at at all in their food preparation nor the customers. Horrible experience I will NEVER eat here...

While searching for an apartment I drove by and saw Moon Wok. The catchy clever name caught my eye. Since i was getting hangry, I decided to stop by and give it a shot. Vietnamese spring rolls were nice and fresh but lacked the extra herbs that usually set this dish off. Truly needs a bit of mint or cilantro to make it pop. Peanut sauce was bland as well but luckily there was Sriracha to add & now it is splendid. California roll was very fresh and tasty. Could have used a ramekin to mix my soy & wasabi but my extra plate did the job well enough. The kitchen was an absolute mess however. I've worked in kitchens a long time and I know this doesn't necessarily mean unclean but it was a bit concerning. And sadly the restroom was absolutely awful!!! Had I not been in a car all day, really needing to go, I would have skipped the restroom all together. Truly disgusting and one of the 2 stalls had no tissue. Trash ALL over the floor. Counter tops covered in soap and water and trash! &! The toilet wouldn't flush! Have fun with that prize! Maybe I'll try and get...
