Wok 'n Grill — Restaurant in Twin Falls

If I could give this place a 0 I would.. My friend and I stopped here for lunch on our way home from Twin Falls, unfortunately. We are from the Boise area and figured we would stop and try somewhere we'd never had before making the trip home. From the outside it looks like a typical Chinese buffet. It said it had live seafood and several other options which sounded promising. Knowing that we were going to eat, my friend who is insulin dependent took her dose of insulin before walking in. As soon as we walk in we are met with a very, very unpleasant smell and I look over to see their live seafood tank which had about 30 crabs in it, 25 of which were dead🤢. I have a picture I can provide if that tank. That should have been my first indication to run. The staff was very nonchalant and not helpful at all. We were taken to our table and asked if we wanted a drink and that's all the interaction we had with staff during our time there. I looked at my friend after looking at the selection which was very small and did not look good at all. It all looked like it had been sitting there for hours. Plus it just wasn't appetizing in general even if it had just been cooked.. I tell my friend that maybe we should just leave and pay for our drinks and she said I have to eat something because I've already taken my insulin. She encouraged me to just give it a chance. I reluctantly went up with her and put two things on my plate. Something that was supposed to be a fried shrimp and some other kind of beef stir fry.. Literally half a spoonful and one shrimp. We get back to our table and I take a small bite of the shrimp and I knew right then that I was not going to eat anything else from this place. From the taste I was terrified I was going to get food poisoning. The taste of the seafood was definitely off. I did not eat anything else the whole time we were there. My friend ate a little less than a plate of food just enough so she wouldn't have issues with her insulin levels. I did however drink my Sprite. When it was time to leave a staff member came up and I informed them that I did not eat anything. They knew this because we were the only people in the entire restaurant and no plates had been cleared from the table. I told her that I had taken one bite and I didn't eat anymore. She just looked at me and said okay you're still going to have to pay for the buffet... She was very rude. It was apparent why it was completely empty in there. Terrible food, terrible service, dead "live" seafood, and rude inconsiderate staff. Plus it was overpriced for the selection they had even if it had been good. I just want to warn weary travelers or people who are new to the area that this is not somewhere you want to go and waste your money. I honestly believe we are lucky that we dodged food poisoning. Needless to say I will never be back here and I will make sure that anyone I know that is going to Twin Falls knows not to go to...

We did delivery and didn't have a good experience at all. We called in our order because of a change to one of the main specials that'd we done a few months prior after having a good, easy experience. This time, was terrible. We ordered two of the "after 4 pm" specials and for a substitution of lo mein instead of chow mein which we knew was an extra dollar. The woman took our order and told us the final price which was several dollars above the price we'd calculated with the online order tool. We questioned this, she verified individual prices/fees with us and with her manager, but the total was still higher priced that what it should have been. We even called back again to verify because we were so confused, but she kept telling us about the after 4pm specials being one dollar higher than the lunch specials. (We know.... We are looking right at the menu... But you are charging us four extra bucks on top of the tax and delivery charge than what the price should be.) we figured we would just wait for the delivery guy and double check what they had on the receipt. He got here about an hour and twenty minutes later (they said 45min to an hour) and the receipt definitely had incorrect prices from the menu we were looking at online. I also didn't get the lo mein (even though "LOW" mein was written on the receipt?) but instead got the chow mein that I had asked to be swapped out. Extremely frustrated at this point, we called back and talked to another woman who told us it sounded like we were not charged for the cheaper special we'd wanted, but for the larger meat place that was more expensive. She apologized and asked if we wanted the lo mein delivered, but we said forget about it, we don't want to wait another hour. She said they would call us back after she talked to some people about a possible free meal voucher or something, but never did call. The most frustrating thing was that we had specified several times we wanted the "special after 4" and we even listed out the prices they had, yet she still charged us for something completely different. We will definitely not be...

I'm only giving the one-star rating because at least the fortunes on the fortune cookies had more grammatical errors than a first grader on PCP.

First, the soy sauce packets actually are "Made in China". I noticed that first and wasn't sure whether that was good or bad. I mean, it's "Chinese" food, so i figured I had that going for me.

Next, I opened the pork chow mein box. It was a spectacle to behold. Stale-ass chow mein noodles, topped with enough celery to overtake Peanut Butter Castle in Romania. It was called PORK chow mein. The quantity of pork rivaled the amount of Obama voters in rural Idaho.

So then, I unwrapped the Broccoli Beef. There was a note from the old lady that was in the Wendy's commercials in the 80's. It was written in hot mustard. It said "Where's the beef?". I regrouped mentally, and then got a front row seat to view the broccoli. It was overcooked, and resembled a wet version of Don King's hairdo. Disappointed....And I like boxing. Lastly, the oyster sauce. Oh boy.....the oyster sauce was so overwhelming it felt like I was stuck in a bathroom on the side of Highway 225 heading to Pyramid Lake.

Mandarin Chicken. Lacked all things Mandarin, and barely resembled chicken. The meat was tough like they used a 13 year-old parakeet instead of chicken. No sauce. Breading was the texture of chewy ligaments.

Lastly, the Chicken Lo Mein was the highlight of this Chinee adventure, that only Jackie Chan could save. The noodles were ok, but the chicken was very sketchy. The cuts of meat were similar to the shape of a drunken booger hanging out of your nose after eating a Hot Pocket and sneezing. Oh Nelly.

Like my wife said, I will never eat there again. Those of you that gave this place any rating above one star.....You people are defects of humanity and your taste buds should be surgically removed and placed on display as a monument at the world's largest...
