Skillman Wok in Lake Worth, a local culinary staple that's never steered me wrong throughout the years of indulging in its offerings. A decade or more back, this joint became my family's steadfast pilgrimage for the classic Americanized take on Chinese cuisine. Weekly rituals unfolded, and the flavors became the backdrop of countless memories around the dinner table. Fast forward to today, and while my visits might not be as frequent, the allure remains, as do the occasional cravings.
Sure, there have been instances where a dish danced a bit too long on the wok and the meticulous touch faltered, yet that hasn't halted my cravings as I've tallied over a hundred encounters with this location by this stage of my life. It's not avant-garde or fancy; it's a taste journey through the Americanized renditions of Chinese staples scattered across the United States. Tradition takes a backseat, but taste typically takes center stage.
This is the epitome of dependable Lake Worth dining – not a culinary revolution but a steadfast journey through familiar flavors. Skillman Wok's charm lies in its steadfastness, delivering comfort on a plate. The value of food to dollar ration proposition is remarkable, making it a sensible choice for a quick bite.
Here's to countless more years of savoring the flavors that have woven themselves into the...
Read moreI ordered food to be delivered. I ordered orange chicken, and sesame chicken. They served me inedible, mushy, brown rice. I got rock hard chicken that was stale. You couldn't get your plastic fork through it. The orange chicken virtually had no sauce. I ordered extra spicy orange chicken, it had no spice. So I called the "manager," they halfway listened to my complaint, and told me to come back in to get my money back. I arrived there, and magically there was no manager to be found.

I told her the manager didn't ask me to bring anything. Then she accused me of trying to keep the other plate, and eat it later. I was extremely upset. Then she pretended not to know how to refund my money. So I got upset and asked her to call the manager. I had to argue with woman for a full five minutes. Then she finally gave me my receipt. I will not return to this...
Read moreTonight's issue was a fiasco that really could've been avoided if owners taught son Shawn abt good customer service. He was horrible!! I called to ask a simple question about their minimum order and delivery fee and what Shawn was saying just didn't make sense. First his math was all over the place then he proceeds to tell me that if I "dnt want to understand what he was saying that's fine and he's not going to 'waste time' talking" to me... all this after repeatedly interrupting me throughout the conversation... and before hanging up on me.

Have ordered delivery from here several times before n tonight was first time I've had any issues but bc of Shawns rudeness and inability to listen n respect customers, tonight will...
