Asian Wok Cafe

First time ordering here while I was in town, and I used Uber Eats. Overall, not a great experience. The honey walnut shrimp was okay. The shrimp itself was good, but the “sweet cream sauce” was not as described. It tasted more like watered-down icing, basically sugar and water, instead of the usual creamy sauce. 5/10. The fried rice was the best part of the meal. Pretty good flavor. 7/10. The beef egg roll was not good. It didn’t taste fresh, the meat was grizzly, and there were bits of cartilage ground into it. The flavor was just off. 3/10. What really made this a bad experience was the customer service. I spent over $50 and didn’t get a single napkin, fork, chopsticks, or anything else with the order. Not one item. When I called about it, I was basically told they don’t do that. I’

I loved this incredible gem we discovered during a recent trip. As someone who is strictly gluten free, finding safe places to eat when traveling is challenging. The gracious owners patiently answered my questions and showed a strong understanding of the need to prevent cross contamination. They even have a separate gluten-free fryer, and the fried salt and pepper chicken was one of my favorite menu items. The chicken was lightly battered in a gluten free coating that was crispy, garlicky, umami goodness!! A few other things worth noting: - There is also a huge menu of non-gluten free dishes that the rest of my family savored. - This isn’t a sit-down restaurant, but it is a very convenient spot for take out. - The value is amazing considering the quality, flavor, generous portion sizes

Let me start off this review by saying that the Asian Wok Cafe is hands down the best Chinese restaurant in Alexandria. With the Asian Wok you aren't paying for the atmosphere, (It's carryout only , but their is a small outdoor area with tables.) you pay for the quality of the food & the quantity of the food. The Asian Wok is located in a former "Little Tavern" on North Washington Street between a gas station and construction site. And, as a result of indecisions by the landlord the building has become pretty rundown but, remember you are not paying for the atmosphere, you are paying for their amazing Kung Pao Chicken; their killer General Tso's Chicken; their wonderful Pork with Eggplant; and their Spicy Wontons. Of course certain dishes are better than others, but you learn which are

The atmosphere is at 4 only because the seating area is only outdoor which is not suitable for winter times. Although large umbrellas are available. However the food there is awesome and for a good price. I tried the Mongolian beef and basil beef and they are my favorites. So juicy and tender yet flavorful and not too strong. Just enough flavor so that you can enjoy it. It is a family owned business and I would recommend giving it a shot.

Wow, I’ve never had healthy tasting Chinese food before. The salt pepper chicken was fried, but barely left any grease… This was delicious and celiac and gluten-free friendly. Amazing find
