Joe's Kitchen Torrington WY — Restaurant in Torrington

My husband and I stopped on our way through. My first clue as to maybe why we should've gone somewhere else would've been the sticky tables, the second would've been when I was asking about the menu and jalapenos kept being mentioned on almost every dish I asked about what was in it. We got the lunch special, I got the chicken and broccoli. My husband got the salt and pepper chicken. The special comes with the soup of the day, which was egg drop. It was bland and had corn in it and NO crunchy won ton strips. The special comes with fried rice and noodles. Both of those were dry. Like very little flavor and NO sauce on the noodles.

The thai tea is your typical thai tea, so it’s a safe call if you have had it before. If you haven’t, it is a very...

The food was good. We were pleasantly surprised. We ordered Sesame chicken, broccoli chicken, chicken fried rice, egg rolls, and egg drop soup. There was plenty of food with leftovers for 3 adults. It was flavorful and a good temperature. They did not have the Thai tea and that made me sad.

Service was a bit slow but once they got going they were attentive and friendly. It could be considered a bit expensive compared to other restaurants in the area but this can most likely be contributed to the freshness of the ingredients. The chicken in the Sesame chicken was very tender and this type of chicken is often chewy...
