Restaurant Review: China Wok

Location: Athens, GA; on Jefferson Hwy (129) right by Loop 10, in the Homewood Hills shopping center

Normally, I am extremely wary of this style of Chinese restaurant. It's located in a shopping center, with the picture menu directly above the counter. Two or three tables, little else. You know the type I mean?

However, this one is actually very good, and relatively affordable. They lack the bells and whistles of many Chinese restaurants, the atmosphere, etc. However, the food is very good. Their spring rolls number among my favorites (and I loves me some spring rolls). The chow mein is quite good, and you get a huge portion of it. I have thus far been twice. The last time I went, I got two orders of spring rolls, and the Singapore Chow Mein Fun. I spent about $11. I walked out with enough food for me to eat a filling dinner, with enough of the chow mein leftover to share with my brother's girlfriend, and still enough after that for me to have lunch the next day. And it was loaded with pork and shrimp and egg and green onions, all in a slightly spicy curry sauce.

If you're passing through the area, wanting to get something to go on your way home, I recommend this place. In fact...now I'm hungry, dammit.
