Wokcano

Nice, higher end Asian restaurant located at the mall.
We went and made it for Happy Hour which had decent priced appetizers.
We did not drink any alcohol but the bar looked good.
Would be a good place to come for a drink and appetizers.
We ordered an order of eggrolls (but they brought us 2 which was our fault in how we ordered) and an order of steamed dumplings.
Both were very good! For the main meal, we ordered Lemon Chicken and brown rice.
We also optioned for the addition of soup and salad for an additional $6.
Hubby ate the soup while I had the salad.
Both were very good.
The main dish portion was huge and, even with sharing the main dish, we had leftovers.
For me, I found the Lemon Chicken dry even with the sauce.
I would have preferred a more traditional chinese dish with veggies but, based on the menu, options were limited for a dish with veggies.
We probably should have ordered a veggie dish and maybe added chicken. Would I go again.
I don't think I would go for the full meal but I would consider going for Happy Hour.
Drinks and a few apps would be good and not as pricey!

So surprised by Wokcano, my first time eating here.
My expectations for any mall restaurant are low.
Expected that typical “mall” restaurant food: edible but not really good.
This place exceeded, by parsecs, my expectations!!! We got the Crazy Fried Rice and Emperor’s Beef.
Both dishes were more than 2 can eat, about 4 servings of each.
This was reflected in the price as it was moderately expensive.
However, it was, without a doubt, worth the price.
We had 2 servings to take home for lunch the next day.
Total price of the lunch was under $50 before tip: Edamame appetizer, emperors beef, crazy fried rice and an iced tea. The edamame was cooked perfectly.
Good sized pieces and plenty for 2 people. The crazy fried rice was fried rice spiked with ginger and garlic, and egg whites only, no yolks.
The egg-whites-only did not detract from either the flavor or texture of the dish.
This was, far and away, the BEST fried rice I’ve ever had, no exaggeration .
Ginger can be overpowering but this dish had just the right amount so you knew it was there and it provided that ginger spike, that freshness, that brought all the flavors together.
Amazing! The emperors beef was also excellent.
Although it was labeled as spicy, it wasn’t.
Again, this did not detract from the flavor.
It certainly had a spice to it, but not like eating a jalapeño.
It is a fried beef dish and the crunch was just right.
Also, sometimes when you get a dish with beef slices, fried or not, you get pieces that have a lot of gristle which is indicative of cheap cuts being used to maximize profits.
None of the pieces I ate had any of that hard-to-chew crap/garbage.
This dish was so flavorful! The service was excellent.
One of my key indicators for service, as strange as this sounds, is whether or not I get a drink refill promptly.
It shows whether or not your server is paying attention and interested in providing the service required to earn that tip.
I never had to wait/ask for that refill.
It came when my iced tea was about 1/4 full.
Our server was pleasant and smiling throughout, took our order promptly and provided the kind of service that shows pride in a job well done.
The atmosphere was okay, nothing to write about there.
The men’s bathroom was very clean. I will definitely be returning as I would like to try so much more on the menu.
It has plenty of items for those, like myself, that aren’t sushi-eaters.
I highly recommend this restaurant.

Stopped here for a quick lunch.
Got the mongolian beef and the double kung pao.
Everything was tender and delicious! Prices and portions on the lunch specials are very good!
