by CHUCOTIME at Citysearch
Just came back from there Hoping things would be different after going there for 12 yrs. on/off.Especially since I heard they were under new ownership.Well fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me!Not only was the food cold(even the fried)it was WAY OVERPRICED(9.50)&I had gone promptly at opening time(11a.m.)&was the ONLY person eating in(1 guy came to get a to-go box)but I was expecting Hot Fresh food,boy was I Wrong.The food tasted?&looked like it was saved from the night before!The only thing that had ANY kinda steam coming off it was the soup or something w/liquid in it.Man I keep saying this but i'll NEVER go there again(give or take 3-4 yr.lapses)I even voiced my concerns,comments&complaints to the staff/owner/management in hopes of getting some kind of break in the price but NOPE!Boy was I wrong AGAIN,they just started giving me some schpill about that's the gamble you take in the buffet experience,WTF!Anyway'z Later Day'z Wokaholic,you have to be an ALCHOLIC to go there after a night's worth of hard drinking!PUKE!

Straight up GOOD
by vitalisuno at Citysearch
I have eaten at Wokaholic for about 4 or 5 years. When I worked in the area from home, I ate sometimes 3 or 4 times a week from them. The wonton soup has never been good to me, but I rarely like the soup in general if I do not prepare it myself at home. I have adapted to simply leaving the room for the massive portions that I typically share with 3 people (for one entree). If you use chop sticks, you will appreciate the big chunks of meat which take multiple bites, which is more typical of authentic Chinese presentation (or if you like me, just enjoy a ton of char siu). On two occasions maybe out of at least 400 times, I have gotten a bit too much oil in a dish, but then again, I always order take out since I am so busy; try eating there. I don't know if it's because they cook for me more than my mother or what, but they're really friendly to me....NEVER seen cheese sticks there either. Make no mistake, the place is not a palace, and it's next to a billiard hall, but if you want unpretentious, excellent Chinese food, at excellent prices, give it a try.
- Pros: Chef knows his work, underpriced by about 1 or 2 dollars an entree, specials
- Cons: I don't know if they make profit?
