Old Wok Barry Rd — Restaurant in Kansas City

Going by Google's rating system, I gave Old Wok 3 stars since my first experience was okay. I have two pros, with the biggest being for the quality of the protein used. At $13.35 (including tax), the General Tso's chicken was one of the more expensive Chinese dishes I've had recently, but worth it for the quality of chicken. I also enjoyed the broccoli in the dish. It was a nice touch. I also have two cons, with the biggest being the taste of my dish. I wish I could describe it better. I don't know if the sauce was made wrong, they had some cross contamination from other ingredients, something wasn't cleaned correctly, or this was simply their rendition. It wasn't bad, but wasn't great either (nor spicy). My other con was the ginormous industrial fan by the front door. What smell or moisture are they trying to get rid of? Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon and this will go away since it detracts from otherwise a nice looking restaurant. I asked if they had a special where I can get an egg roll and/or cup of soup with my dinner for a couple of bucks more, but was told that this is something they do for lunches. Since discovering the "Haven't Visited" button when searching for restaurants using Google Maps, Old Wok was my 6th Chinese restaurant I've tried in the last couple of months. While I wasn't in love with my dish, I would be more willing to give them another try since at least the protein quality was there: but it would probably...

Based on my latest/first experience with Old Wok, I kind of feeling like some of these one star reviews have to be a bit facetious. I try pho from just about every place I can find it. Today when having dinner with my parents, my mom said that's what she wanted then I noticed that Tasty Thai, my go to, didn't show it on the menu for the Liberty location so I turned my attention to finding other places, it landed my on trying Old Wok. After coming home and looking at the food I was pleasantly surprised. My mom, a Korean immigrant who me and my brother joke about not having feeling in her hands because she's able to grab almost anything no matter the temperature, grabbed the container of brother and exclaimed "hot" in Korean. It made me laugh a little because, well of course it's hot, but at the same time was a bit surprising that she would actually think so. The broth wasn't the absolute best I've had, but for the price, the location, and the promptness is getting my food. This is easily a 5 star. Oh, by the way, the passion fruit tea? Yeah,...

This is the first review I ever left about a restaurant and honestly if I could I would give 0 stars! We were seated at a dirty table, and the meats we were served were raw! The pork in the egg rolls was raw, the beef in the rice AND in the lo mein was ice cold. The lady who served us only took the rice back to the kitchen and not even 1 minute later came back with it completely burned, it tasted like charcoal. At this point we decided to leave and she gave us a 17$ check saying “I took one meal off the check, and sorry but the chef is very busy today”… We paid for the food we didn’t eat, nor took home, tipped the waitress and left. We will never go back there, not only we had to pay for food we didn’t eat, but we also risked to get POISONED by eating raw pork and beef! The chef being too busy is not a reasonable excuse to serve people raw food nor charge them for something they can’t eat. One piece of advise, check your egg rolls before...
