Shiny Wok — Restaurant in Rowlett

It’s so good! Salt & pepper tofu was my favorite.

Crispy beef as sweet, salt, and just right amount of spicy. Outside was crispy yet tender inside that I didn’t have to bite and yank on fork.

General Tso chicken tasted similar to other places, but their chicken meat seems higher quality. Two days later and I still don’t find any off putting flavor from the meat. Also there were no undercooked breading.

Salt & pepper tofu was phenomenal. The aromas of crisped garlic and chilis wafting off this dish was putting my hands into motion for the chopsticks. Light coating of crispiness on outside, super tender upon biting in. Ate it with a sprinkling of the garlic and chilis every spoonful. I was on cloud nine.

Rice was underwhelming compared to what I have at home, but I pay premium for good grains, and we can’t really compare takeout to home rice.

Then coke machine does not seem to make ice but they have a separate machine in the back.

Shrimp lo mein smelled of wok hei (鑊氣), so I knew Chefs had skill. Great texture on the noodles. Good amount of veggies with it. Kid loved it.

Staff was nice. Feels like a mom & pop + hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Would...

Wonderful food!! Horrible HORRIBLE service… I make it a point to only leave good reviews at the places I love and just let the ones I don’t like go… HOWEVER, my family was treated so poorly at this establishment. There was a misunderstanding with the order my husband placed and as soon as it was placed on the table we brought it to their attention. Sesame chicken was ordered but for whatever reason the worker heard sweet and sour chicken. No big deal at all. But then they continued to argue with my husband, insisting that he said sweet and sour… I heard him place the order so I know what he said but it wasn’t the misunderstanding that I am upset about. It was the atrocious attitude and unwillingness to simply correct the mistake. There is no reason we should have even had a back and forth. The man was rude and disrespectful. I guess that’s what we get for not just going to our regular spot at Hunan in Rockwall… we’re always treated like...

My husband and I ordered carry out. Called, ordered, they said “20 minutes” and we left. Arrived roughly 15 minutes after we had called. We waited roughly 30 minutes at their restaurant before we were given our order. A bit frustrated and hungry, we brought it home and hoped that it was worth the wait. Honestly, it’s very decent! It is hard to find good Chinese food in this area and I was pretty impressed. I got the teriyaki grilled chicken and although the chicken was a little dry, it wasn’t horribly so and the sauce was on point. The rice - both fried and steamed was perfectly cooked. My husband will not stop eating the egg drop soup. He said that the orange chicken is not spicy at all and that is his only complaint. Also, our portions are huge! Looks like there’s at least two chicken breasts in my container. I’m deducting a star because of the wait. Other than that, pretty decent. Worth a try for anyone...
