China Wok — Restaurant in Indianapolis

I read all the reviews and have to agree that the food is Ok and would give it at least a 3 Star were it not for the behavior of the female cashier who perhaps has ownership in the business. If she answers the phone when placing an order, or is at the register when I walk in, I usually don't order. The male, whom I believe is also an owner, is much nicer and very flexible when taking an order if the female is not present. I placed an in-store order for two to go which included 2 Vegetable Egg Rolls, and 1 Combo Meal which included Fried Rice, Pork Lo Mein and an Egg Roll. We wanted to share the fried rice, so I asked the female cashier to place the rice in a separate container or side by side with the lo mein in the same container, rather than the Lo Mein on top of the rice. One would have thought by this simple, reasonable request that I had asked her to give me the contents of the cash drawer! She responded in a raised voice "NO"! She would not do that because the combo is cheaper and I should order the rice, lo mein and egg roll separately! In fact we looked at the a la carte section of the menu before placing the order, decided that since we are watching our "carbs", the smaller servings in the combo meal would be enough for us both. Her rantings and pointing at the menu caught the attention of the other patrons and the male manager who had sold me food in the past packaged in the way I was requesting, joined in the protest that they would NOT! honor my request. We politely left the restaurant, and this time I am resolved that I will never return. I have finally had it! This is last time I will be made to feel like I am "trying to get over" on someone by this establishment.

As an African American, I am no stranger to this attitude often exhibited by Asian Americans when I patronize their businesses. Until we start boycotting those businesses that treat us in this manner, the attitude of "You need us; therefore, we can disrepect you", will continue. It is no accident, that one will rarely if ever see any race other than their own employed in their restaurants and retail businesses which may account for thier attitude of "us against them" and their lack of diversity. We don't have to accept this behavior. We left there and went to Whole Foods and purchased a much healthier meal and was treated with the dignity and respect a "reasonable" paying...

My last and final visit was on 5/1. I called in my order and arrived 10 mins later. The restaurant was very busy with carry out and delivery orders. Needless to say, my wait time was much longer than normal. After approximately 30 mins from the initial time I called in my order, I asked the young petite Asian girl....how much longer will my wait time be? She replied....HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT! I was like....WTH, you work here! Obviously, she forgot which side of the counter she was on. Since she never bothered to get the answer to my simple question, I ended up asking her to cancel my order and refund my money. And she had no problem asking the other lady to assist me with my refund but, she couldn't ask how much longer it's going to take to complete my order. I told the other customers waiting....there are too many other Chinese restaurants I can give my business to. I ended up ordering from King Dragon in the Broad Ripple area and my order was ready by the time I got there. Prior to this incident at China Wok, I found a couple of metal pieces in my carry out order from a scouring pad that they use to clean their pans, and came very close to swallowing the metal. When I went back the next day for a refund and to show them the two metal pieces I found in my food....the young lady response was....the cooks need to do better rinsing the pans when...

This was the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. I was expecting a nice, simple, run of the mill Chinese restuarant, but it was the opposite. The lunch specials had very small portions and they tasted horrible. I ordered the shrimp cho mein. It is a regular dish I order at other restaurants , so I expected nice cho mein noodles mixed with shrimp and vegetables. What I got was just 7 little shrimp with boiled onions, celery, and carrots all in really big chunks. It was weirdly served on a bed of fried rice instead of being mixed with noodles. It was also very slimy. I asked the man at the counter if this was the shrimp cho mein and he told me it was.The lunche specials surprisingly didn't come with egg rolls, so we ordered some on the side. They were pork and they also didn't seem right. The inside was very red and it had a funky after taste. We also ordered waters, but we were never given them. I wished I liked it because I do enjoy supporting smaller Chinese restaurants. Overall, my experience at the China wok was not very...
