New Chief Wok Restaurant — Restaurant in Salem

This rating and review is mostly for the bar and bartender. When it comes to Americanized Chinese food, it's really splitting hairs to put one over the other. The food is very typical when it comes to comparing with other places, and in that sense, it really hits the spot when you're ready to take on the greasy but tasty food. Me and my wife ordered takeout there and the front desk service was very friendly. As we were waiting, we thought "Why not head over to the bar for a drink?" My wife ordered a drink that wasn't "Chinese" in nature, and the caucasian bartender lady very rudely told her how "They only served Chinese drinks there" yet went on to offer us Pina Coladas and Margaritas, because those Caribbean favorites must have come over from China right? It was a sweltering 95 degree day outside, so we opted for a frozen Pina Colada. Although they were cold and refreshing, I don't understand why we were carded, because I could have sworn they were virgin drinks. I couldn't feel even a slight bit of buzz from the drink, and that doesn't surprise me too much, but my lightweight wife couldn't either, and that means something. I'm 28 years old, been to plenty of bars and never gotten a drink this lightweight before. We sat there and drank our drinks, the bartender never saying a word or returning any conversation. She was very rude and condescending. So if you're looking for a good time with good drinks, this is not the bar for you. If you're looking for a bad time and being treated like an idiot and paying for overpriced virgin drinks, head on over to Chief Woks all...

My husband and I stopped in for the first time today around 4:30pm. I’ll say I wasn’t expecting to see such a nice table layout. They have a nice dinning area, not too dark and the other side of the restaurant was divided for the tavern section to keep it private. Our waiter was very friendly taking our order and came around several times to check in on us.

My husband had a coke and I always get a pot of tea. When the food came I was a tad disappointed that it’s the already prepared frozen type china blossom food. Peas in the rice. You know that they did doctor it up with roast pork, scrambled egg, and sprouts. Overall for the food was prepared very good for what it is. The chicken fingers crispy but soft inside, not oily. When I go to a Chinese restaurant I normally judge them by their crab Rangoons. It would be nice for a homemade type wrap over the already made Rangoons. The price was pretty decent for the combination plates we got. Maybe it was the time of day everything was pretty fresh. I will be back to try some other old favorites like Happy...
