New Wok — Restaurant in Newtown

My daughter asked to go here and I agreed after my last bad experience here. I hoped for better but it did not disappoint in lettiforgettable.

The restaurant looks closed. Bar, closed. Dark in the back half of the place. 90% takeout orders. The food was not good. Dumplings were bland at best. The Gen Tsos chicken was bland, cool, and forgetable. I took home the left overs and tossed them the same night. How can you not make a staple like Gen Tso's chicken or get it so wrong? My daughter's vegetarian food was better. Drinks? Soda, water, some juices.

The woman serving was sweet and I felt bad for her being in this place.

So, for the final time I can say I would not go back here until it changes chefs or owners. It is a shame as I truly hoped it...

I had a great meal here and would try it again.

Initially, I was put off by a strong, unappetizing smell of dish soap coming from the kitchen. By the time my Scallops With Black Bean Sauce came out, I think I stopped noticing the smell. The scallops were seared beautifully (better than a lot of high end restaurants I've been to). The dish was loaded with fresh asparagus, zicchini, baby corn, mushrooms, water chestnuts, shallots, and red peppers. The sauce was light and tasty -although a tad too much soy sauce.

I was impressed and am looking forward to trying more of their food. There are several other Chinese restaurants in the area, but this is the best one I've...

The person taking orders was rude. I asked if they could substitute a spring roll for an egg roll because my wife is vegetarian. They said only for a $0.50 upcharge. It always frustrates me when places charge you more for meat substitutions when that is the most expensive part of the meal, but I digress. To add insult to injury her garlic broccoli came with bits of chicken in it. I assume they aren't cleaning their woks between dishes. Honestly I wouldn't care about any of this if the food was great, but it isn't. So the service needs to be on point. I would recommend you avoid this place and drive to Panda Garden in Bethel for your Chinese...
