Whistle Wok

I literally love this place. They have high quality food at a very affordable price. It's quick in and out, and everything is always hot.

It is hard to find good counter serve Chinese food. Whistle Wok nails it. It’s a good price with large portions. It’s not a bunch of over sweet variations on the same dish like you get at national chains. There is a good mix of stir fried meat and vegetable dishes. The batches are small and replenished often so nothing sits out very long. You’ll pay less than $10 for a large meal and drink. It’s a better deal than nearby buffets. Come a few times and you’ll notice there are a lot of regulars and the staff will give you a smile that shows they remember you.

Our credit card wouldn’t work and they gave us the food anyways and told us we could come back and pay when we get it working. Not many places would do that, soo nice!! And the food was delicious!!! The lady working was so nice to our kids, great customer service, awesome food, fabulous place!

I love this place. Cheap food. And lots of it.

My family and I went to Whistle Wok on a Saturday evening during early dinner service, these are a few thoughts on the visit.

General
- Unless your a local, its easy to look over or pass by this restaurant
- Served Coke products, had other options except for Pepsi
- Great for couples, families, and small groups
- In the hour we were there, there was a constant flow of customers mostly picking up or taking out, shows there's good community support and that they're doing something right to fend off the big-box competitors

Pros
- There was a good selection of familiar Chinese entrees to choose from
- It was easy to order and build the plate how you wanted
- The flavors and quality of the food were surprisingly good for the price
- The food was fresh, well cooked, and being consistently restocked
- Tables, chairs, and floors were clean and clear of clutter, attentive staff
- Bathroom was clean, you could tell there was an effort to remove graffiti
- The general ambiance was welcoming and safe to stay and eat

Cons
- The interior was dated, paint and pictures need a good update
- If you weren't paying a attention, the train decor might throw you off
- Minimal staff-to-customer interaction, some people like that
- Parking lot is tight and needs repair, however there's always a spot
- It was unfortunate to see a large model train track that did not have a working set of trains running on it, it would have definitely added to the aesthetic and been a cool conversation starter

Overall
I will be returning in the future and definitely would suggest this location for those looking for a restaurant that is welcoming and serving Chinese food that is familiar, flavorful, and well made.
