Wok II Chinese Restaurant

This place is perfect for me. It’s your traditional American Chinese restaurant with the usual wares. So if you want to walk in to the counter and order the usual you can do that. You know, egg roll, French fries, and chicken wings.
However, where Wok II differs a bit is that they have a buffet style section where you can make your own meal. For just 4.95 a lb you can get a variety of different taste from salmon to sushi, crab salad, hard boiled eggs, cold fruits and hot veggies and even hard boiled eggs sliced in half.
I typically come for the salad bar and buffet and with a drink, even for the larger sized container (packed and packed tightly) I never really spend more than 12 bucks. I get exactly what I want and I am always happy and satisfied.
The downsides to not eating in the ample space is that the food doesn’t stay as warm as you’d like once you get it back to the office. Like any buffet style menu, it’s really made to eat at the location. The made to order food is hot as any Chinese you’re going to have.
As far as the look goes, this ain’t the 4 seasons and the chair cushion or many of the chairs need to be replaced. But this place gets the job done. I like it because they’ve got a lot of healthy choices too.

Terrible service… They speak English very poorly so they don’t really understand you and when they screw up your order they blame you! Waste of time and money. There are far better Chinese food places in Newark… I suggest you find one other than this one.

Its alright the food is pretty good I don’t expect a buffet to be the bomb it just has to be decent. I had salmon, sesame chicken, asparagus, and spinach. Was good burp…

Never before have I been so eloquently insulted by a restaurants attempt to pass such greasy– over cooked and generally flavorless dumplings off as food. Nonetheless, I was. Naturally with my 7:05pm order arriving at my apartment at 8:20, so I should have expected such a disappointment. Dumpling were quite literally the worst I’ve ever had, and I am a fanatic, stuffed wontons were pooling with the grease of a fryer which clearly hadn’t been changed in weeks, and the general Tso’s chicken (egg roll missing of course) was mediocre at best. I am a professional chef and I believe Unilocal to be the worst thing ever invented, but this vent could not be withheld. Hopefully others have better experiences than myself… But May God have mercy on their souls for sending me those dumplings.

Good wings. Decent buffet. Not too greasy. Quick, and easy when you’re at the courthouse or the hospital, which are both around the corner.
