New King Wok

Not sure when was the last time I’ve had great Americanized — Chinese food if truly ever???
Reluctant, I went and took part in a tiny feast of lo mein, chicken and broccoli, and white rice. Weasled my way around tender chicken for some nicely cooked brocoli. New Wok is so generous with its meats they even added it to my veggie lo mein. I guess this was just an order hiccup, nevertheless it wasn’t bad in entirety.
Props to the open kitchen and this is a first that the presentation of the entrees in their tiny boxes looked oddly aesthetically pleasing. Haha.
The clerk was quiet and came off a little tired. Overall, it wasn’t a bad place. My mother seems to enjoy it and suggests it a lot when she’s fed up with normal S.A.D. affair and missing some rice as she doesn’t seem to be a fan of the areas other Chinese restaurants. I’d say give it a try if you’re feeling casual.

With all due respect, I think John B’s review is a little harsh for this place. He gave Little Asia in Hartwell 5 stars and I get that, too. It’s really great food. BUT, you’ll wait a lot longer for it to be prepared and you’ll pay a lot more for it.
I’ve been to both places. I’ve also had Asian food in places from Atlanta to San Francisco to Europe and tons of places in between. What I’ve seen in 2 visits to New King Wok is, friendly, young kids working very hard, having fun, cranking out decent (mostly) Chinese food to a pretty well packed waiting area. On our first visit, we ordered garlic chicken, hot and sour soup, egg rolls and house special fried rice. We got it all as takeout. There’s not a huge dine-​in space. Was it the best in the world? It was darned good. And for the price, how could you ask for more? The next visit, I called ahead and ordered shrimp fried rice, beef chow mein and hot and sour soup (gotta have my hot and sour soup!). It was ready when I got there. When we got home, it was still hot and tasty. No complaints at all. I still have to mention they were slammed when I picked the food up. The waiting area was elbow-​to-​elbow. The young people working we’re downright inspiring in how they were working as a team and how much fun they were having. All the cooking was not behind some wall but out in front where everyone could see what was going on. In some places where you can’t see what’s going on, I wonder.
I like this place and wouldn’t hesitate to order from them anytime I want decent, inexpensive, rib-​sticking Chinese food, cooked well by people who seem to take pride in what they’re cranking out.
Best in the world? Not sure. Best in Hartwell? I’d eat there anytime!
