Wok's Up Chinese Food — Restaurant in Huntsville

We just couldn't wait to try the newest storefront at Stovehouse! Wok's Up offers typical American Chinese (think pepper steak, General Tso's, Sweet and Sour, etc) as well as something fairly hard to find in Huntsville: big, fluffy, steamed bao!

Most meals come in the shape of bowls: you can select your base (white or brown or fried rice, or lo mein for an up charge), then choose if you want one, two, or three entrees. You can top it off with one portion of egg roll, spring roll, or crab rangoon. Bao flavors include curry chicken, veggie, pork, or pan fried bao.

It's made assembly line style and they're fast and friendly! We had no problem getting in and out in a hurry. Portions were very generous and the employees were very pleasant. Two bowls with two entrees each and two bao to share brought us to a shade over $30. Not bad for Stovehouse!

Overall, we enjoyed the food quite well! It's nothing too different than a lot of Chinese takeout places around town, but that's okay - it tastes good! We tried the chicken and broccoli, orange chicken, sesame chicken, and General Tso's. The chicken and broccoli might have been my favorite - tender veggies and yummy brown sauce. The fried bits tasted pretty standard and ideally would've been a little bit crispier, but the meat inside was quality and not tough or chewy.

The bao was also a highlight, ESPECIALLY the curry chicken. All your favorite warming curry flavors (nothing spicy) stuffed in super fluffy, pillowy dough. The veggie was a little disappointing - it wasn't really filled all the way up, instead filling was only on about one side of the bao. Still, we enjoyed that too!

I'll definitely be back in the future to try new entrees, and certainly to relive that...

Wok's Up is a new addition to the Stovehouse fast casual restaurants serving Chinese food. We were excited to try it for the first time but sadly left unimpressed. Overall, both the food and service wasn’t all that good. You would probably be better off getting Chinese food in the mall food court. For over $40 for 2 people, it definitely wasn’t worth it.

The only saving grace was the crab rangoons. They were actually pretty decent and it’s hard to find good ones in town. I ordered chicken fried rice and king pao chicken. Neither had much flavor to it.

When walking in, we were greeted at the counter and appeared that is where we ordered. However another customer came in and went straight to the back and started ordering from the assembly line counter. There is no signage or direction so I’m still unsure which one you’re supposed to do. They have a menu you can choose from and order your dish from the back or you can create your own bowl on the assembly line. Will most...

Food is ok. I’ve been to this place multiple times and never been as disappointed until today. The food looked like it had been sitting there all day, I asked if they had anything fresh coming. They ignored me. After I ordered my food and left I noticed everything on my plate was cold and the chicken wasn’t even edible. The chicken was very dry and chewy inside and and the beef was also cold. The noodles were also old and soggy. So I went back to see if they can remake my order fresh. He began to just put my old plate in the microwave to warm it up. I stopped him and told him I meant a fresh new plate. Then he began to just put new food on top of my old food thinking that what I meant. He didn’t replace the old noodle with new. He also only put like 2 pieces of new beef and broccoli on top of the older and cold Food and a scoop full of new chicken on top of the old and cold chicken. I’ve never seen a business do anything like that. They just lost a customer. I...
