China Wok — Restaurant in Edna

My first brave venture into the culinary desert, which is Edna, I came in with low expectations. I left feeling really impressed and satisfied!

The food here was lovely! Orange chicken is usually prepared too sweet for me, but this one was the perfect balance of flavors. Not to sweet, delicate orange notes, moist chicken.

I definitely will be going back and I definitely recommend...
