Nestled in the heart of Fallon, Nevada, The Wok offers a delightful dining experience with its delicious Asian cuisine. With a blend of neutrality and quirkiness, let's dive into the key aspects that make this place stand out.
First and foremost, The Wok boasts an impressive boba selection. Whether you're a traditionalist who enjoys classic milk tea or an adventurous soul seeking unique flavor combinations, this place has you covered. Sipping on their whimsical boba creations adds an extra layer of fun to your dining experience.
Now, when it comes to the servers, it's a bit of a mixed bag. While some exude charm, making your visit more enjoyable with their personable and attentive nature, others may fall short in these areas. This unpredictable element adds a certain whimsy to your meal, but consistent service would certainly enhance the overall experience. I’m writing this review after my 4th time visiting this place.
Moving on to the star of the show—the sushi. The Wok's sushi selection is a definite highlight. Each roll bursts with exquisite flavors, showcasing the artistry of the chefs. With fresh ingredients and an eye for flavor combinations, their sushi will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.
The cozy atmosphere at The Wok creates a welcoming environment. It's the perfect setting for a gathering with friends or a cozy dinner with loved ones. The warm decor and comfortable ambiance contribute to an overall pleasant dining experience.
Unfortunately, my visit was marred by an incident that left me utterly disgusted. I witnessed an Asian male server using his bare hands to scoop noodles that were hanging off a plate back onto the dish and then casually wiping them off on the checkout counter . This lack of basic hygiene was deeply unsettling, especially considering the potential consequences for diners. Despite making eye contact, the server seemed unfazed, which further compounded my disappointment. Honestly, I’ve also had this server once before and his personality matches his views on hygienic practices - indifferent.
In conclusion, The Wok in Fallon, Nevada, presents a mixed bag of experiences. While the boba selection adds a touch of whimsy and the sushi delights with its flavors, the servers' level of personability and attentiveness can be inconsistent. The cozy atmosphere creates an inviting setting, but the unfortunate encounter with unhygienic practices casts a shadow over an otherwise enjoyable dining experience and I can’t say the food and drinks make up for that incident. I honestly feel hesitant even coming back. Eat at...
Read moreWhere to begin; we decided to an impromptu celebration of the missus new job and she craved sushi. However with the weather being what it is she didnt want to travel far so we elected for the local choice. Now, I dont eat sushi so i can only give what her side of it is as best i can, but lets do this in order.
We arrived before dinner rush as our norm, plenty of staff and seated instantly, unfortunately thats where the staff side ended. During the course of the visit, or waitress rarely made eye contact, didnt smile and seemed more intereated in what was going on around her than the table she was at.
For appetizers, i love me some potstickers. They arrived hot... i mean hot hot... i had to cut them open to vent them to be able to eat them. Thats not a complaint, just a heads up. The filling was flavorful, and the outer shell fried nicely, my only complaint was that outer shell was very thick. The outside was crispy but the inside of the shell was a bit chewy for my liking. The missus had edamame, however they were a little overcooked so she wasnt a fan. Part of the wifes meal was something called Chinese Nachos, some sort of crab topped deep fried seaweed... I think... Our waitress couldnt tell us what it was (another reason the staff disappointed) but speaking straight, it was delicious. I dont know what it was, but it was packed full of flavor, the crispiness of the fried wafer with the coolness of the crab like toping was an amazing creation. I only with it was more than 6 individual bites.
I ordered the Chicken Fried Rice (My staple for these kinda resturaunts) and the chicken chow mein. Both come as family style dishes, with a big spoon for serving. Honestly each plate probably served 3 helpings so for the price and quantity, its a steal. Quality on the other hand was only so so. The chicken was flavorful but the rice and the chow mein were both overcooked. The veggies in them were fresh but i felt it lacked flavor, like it had been made and reheated. It wasn't bad, it just wasnt very good either.
The missus had one of the sushi boxes (comes with different rolls and runs about 30 bucks, i dont recall the name). There was something off putting about the sushi rice. She described it like a vinegary flavor that over powered the other ingredients (e.g. Fish, avocado, etc). Visually they looked amazing, but she ended up picking the fish off the sushi to enjoy it without the rice.
All in all, the trip wasn't bad. If your looking for average Chinese food, that isnt wallet breaking then the wok isnt a bad choice. If your looking for quality and/or sushi, I would suggest broadening your search to include a...
