Restaurant Review: Wok Lin

Okay, I have a riddle for you. What do you have for dinner when your baby is sick and screams unless she is being held by you? That's right: Chinese take out delivery. I didn't know Chinese places delivered..major plus.

Wok Lin
Chain Restaurant: No. 
My Location: 325 S 500 W, Bountiful, UT
Have I ate here previously: No
Category: Chinese
My rating (out of 10): 7
Would I eat here again: Yes.

What I ordered: Szechuan Chicken and Crab Rangoon.

My thoughts:
First off, the place delivers. For free. Majors kudos in my book. Not because I am lazy, but because loading a sick, screaming baby into the car to get food is a pain in the butt. Sometimes, I want delivery, and it's nice to not have to have a pizza. The crab Rangoon (those tasty cream cheese won tons that most Chinese places have)  here was really good. It was a lot sweeter than I expected, but I really enjoyed the sweetness. The Szechuan chicken had good flavor overall (and I'm a slight expert, my friend, Phil, and I used to sing a song about the stuff, because we love it so much), but there was way too much celery in the mix. I'm not a celery hater, but I'm also not a celery lover. I expected the chicken to be breaded, but it wasn't. That is a huge calorie savor, and normally a huge plus. I kind of felt like some breaded chicken that night though...I can't win can I?

Pros:  Free Delivery, Good Flavors, No Fatty Breading.
Cons: So Much Celery, No Fatty Breading. (I'm putting it on both lists...just try and stop me!)

Daniel's take on things:
The Chinese restaurant we ordered from has a very simple menu.  We ordered an appetizer (some crab and cream cheese wonton) that was really rich and tasty.  I also ordered a chicken curry dish.  I don’t usually like spicy foods, but curry is an exception with me (especially since I have never successfully made it myself).  The curry was very flavorful but not nearly as spicy as I was expecting.  The only major problem I had was I don’t think they provided enough steamed rice to go with two meals (I like my rice to curry ratio about 1:1, but they only provided half as much rice as other food between Becky and I).  
PROS: The meal was pretty tasty, the delivery was fast (around 15 minutes).

CONS: Not enough rice for me, portions could have been a little bigger.

Pin It!
