This was my first visit to the Wokery in Mystic for takeout. Very modest American Chinese Restaurant. Typical Chinese memorabilia & decor. It appeared 95% takeout orders. It appears this place is run by Chinese people - likely from the Szechuan province bc of their menu items. (They have Szechuan specialities on their menu). I ordered the Wontons in Chili oil & the Chicken with Garlic (says it is spicy). Both my items were not spicy & were just “okay” in flavor. The items were not prepared according to authentic recipes so that was a bit of a bummer. I also didn’t find the items overly flavorful. The sauce on the Garlic Chicken was sweet & sour & watery. The won tons in chili oil were okay. They weren’t BAD - but they weren’t SOLIDLY GOOD. I have been to China, lived in the DC area & have eaten authentic Chinese for 30 yrs. This place prepares AMERICAN style Chinese food. It was hot & the portions were average. I try not to judge places immediately esp if it wasn’t great experience. I will give them another opportunity. They offer a dry chili chicken that I have had many times at other Szechuan restaurants that is excellent. I will try that here - I am hopeful will it be good bc it’s a dish from the Szechuan province. I will update this review after I try this...
Read moreAlways ordered from here for years, never had an issue. A few days ago, I ordered some food for pickup. Drove 5 mins home. I ate it, it was delicious as always, then an hour and a half later, I couldnt stop going to the bathroom. It got to the point when I was so dehydrated due to severe diarrhea, my arms, hands, fingers were going numb. I developed a fever of almost 101 degrees, and had no sense of appitiete whatsoever. I checked myself into the ER, on the advice of a urgent care telehealth visit, where a stool sample discovered that I contracted NOROVIRUS. I can pinpoint that to the food I recieved from Wokery due to the fact that I didnt (and couldnt) eat anything else, except this food only. I work 2 fulltime jobs, and will be seeking financial compensation from this business for the three (3) days I missed out on from their food. I advise anyone eating here to exercise extreme caution when buying food from this place of business. Shame though, I really loved...
Read moreif i could rate this restaurant 0 stars, i would. first of all, overpriced for basically nothing. i had 3 things that i wanted to get and it ended up being $50! i wouldn’t be complaining about the price of the food if it was actually good. the food was absolutely TERRIBLE. made me feel so sick the day after and definitely was not worth it. the service wasn’t nice either, it wasn’t very bad but they were definitely disrespectful. there were many different great looking restaurants in the mystic area and i would’ve been better off choosing one of those. don’t risk ordering from here if there are other options. i’m not asking for a refund of any benefits, i am just stating my experience and definitely will not being ordering from...
