Iron Wok | Chinese Cuisine — Restaurant in Placerville

Wow! So much better than i expected, evwn with all the good reviews left here and on yelp. My family usually goes to a different place in placerville to get chinese food. Today, that place happened to be closed. I was a bit wary of trying a new place because you never know what you will get. And buying food for 5 or 6 people,... You want to get something you know everyone will like. After doing some research, and seeing tons of amazing reviews about iron wok, i decided we would go for it. We were not at all disappointed! The food here is nothing short of amazing! No exaggeration. The chicken in the dishes we got was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. Most orange chicken at other places comes out dry and sometimes hard with a lot of little batter pieces to fill it up. Not here! The dishes had chunky, tender veggies too. Everything was super fresh.

This will definitely be our new spot for chinese food! If you have never tried it, i highly reccomend you do. You...

Where to start. How about greed? My wife asked for tea and was given the usual teapot and small cup. The menu price is $2. Later she asked for a second teacup so I could have a spot. The bill was $3. They charged us $1 for the use of a teacup. The hot and sour soup was lacking in flavor and excess cornstarch made it very gelatinous in texture. The fried rice was bland and lacked any creativity. The Mongolian beef likewise had a sauce that was dumbed down. The beef itself was fine. Hey guys, you know that little chili you put next to a dish on your menu? That means spicy hot. It’s apparent that this restaurant is cutting corners. I could act as chef for the day and as a white dude make a 100% improvement in these dishes. And don’t charge a customer for using a teacup to drink the tea from the pot he ordered...

We went here because of the great reviews but....... The potstickers were flavorless even though I doused them with hot oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. The underlying cardboard taste shown through. The chow main noodles were overcooked and the szechuan chicken my husband ordered was also flavorless. When a wait person came over to ask how everything was I told her about the potstickers. She said she would mention it to the cook and left. A different person brought our bill and asked about our satisfaction. Again I mentioned the potstickers issue. It seemed like there was a huge language barrier and eventually she said she would mention it to the cook. We did not get a credit on our bill even though we left the un-eaten potstickers. I will not go there again. I do like...
