Wo Kee Noodle — Restaurant in New York

Been going here for almost a year and food and service has been at times good and at other times sub par. Our latest visit which will be my last I ordered the roast duck over rice. To give you an idea of what is coming up, they prepare the duck at the front of the restaurant. I went to the restroom on the kitchen side of the restaurant and when I was walking back to my table in the other room, I saw the server bringing my plate which was already prepared from the front of the restaurant to the kitchen. I told my wife I saw something weird, the server brought my plate to the kitchen and my wife said they are probably adding something to my dish. I told her I took a good look at it and the plate was completed with the rice, duck, vegi and egg. I know this because I order this all the time. The server came back to bring my dish. Not to my surprise it tasted different than when I have always ordered in the past. A little on the sour side. I suspected that the duck was not fresh and the restaurant knew it so put something on it from the kitchen to hide the sour taste. I have no evidence of this, however you can put 2 and 2 together from what I saw and from my experience of the dish being a different taste then what I...

Today, I attended a virtual meeting after dropping someone off at JFK. I was also quite hungry and decided to look for Asian restaurants nearby to find some comfort food. I'm absolutely thrilled that I chose Wo Lee Noodle.

The atmosphere was calm and inviting. The owner graciously allowed me to participate in my meeting in a quieter area at the back of the restaurant, which had less foot traffic.

As for the service and food, they were outstanding.

I had my heart set on shumai, and the waitress kindly informed me that the savory dumpling contained pork. Since I’ve recently started cutting back, I hadn’t thought to ask.

Instead, I ordered the shrimp dumplings! Oh my goodness, they were the freshest dumplings I have ever tasted. They are made fresh while you enjoy your drinks or appetizers! The quality of this place is impressive!

I devoured the dumplings before I could snap a picture. You really must try them for...

It is a good Chinese restaurant, I bought BBQ Pork take out few days ago, and they were good. Today I went there for dinner, all dishes are good - pork chop peking style, garlic fried chicken garlic (# 90), snow pea leave w, fresh garlic and a beef chow fun. All were great, the only complain I have was the fried chicken, some of the large pieces inside were still cold. Because of this disappointment, I have to take one star off.

Overall the quality of food are good, price is fair. Definitely will come back again.

Update about their DimSum that I tried on a Sunday morning - Their dim sum dishes are pretty disappointing, first they are mostly not hot, one dish was cold. I ordered 8 dishes it cost me $31 (before tips), compare to what you can get from Flushing, Elmhurst, or New East Ocean Palace will cost only half.

I will not go for their dimsum (at no in 2017), but only their menu items...
