Side Wok Cafe

Was wary to visit based off of the reviews but I don't understand why this place gets so much flack. It's bomb 🔥. I came at 6:00pm everything was fresh and delicious. The women behind the counter were so friendly! I Ordered the  Combo II and got what I believe to be teriyaki or bourban chicken , orange chicken ,fried rice and noodles With an egg roll FIRSTLY i just wanna say everyone's cooking is vastly different and everyone has their preferences , most people are used to panda express when judging/comparing what Asian food is "supposed" to taste like (dont get me wrong I ain't hatin on panda either) but Asian food has VASTLY different tastes and to judge a food because it's not something you're used to isn't fair. I personally cook asian dishes for my family and can't Stress ENOUGH how vastly different taste is from person to person, family to family. ANYWAYS Firstly there's not a strong taste of soy sauce in the food like most Asian food places. So keep that in mind. Which can be surprising to the palette if its not what youre used to but I definitely enjoyed it, as everything felt lighter less salty = felt healthier. If you enjoy the taste of soy sauce bring your own haha! The greasiness scale , was a little on the greasy side but more so felt like It was due to all the natural juices coming from the chicken garlic other veg (of course they use oil when cooking) but it didn't feel like the nasty unhealthy type of greese. •The orange chicken: 🍊  Delicious.  on the sweeter side. When I cook orange chicken I usually make mine more citrusy/tangy so that's my usual preference but for those who like the sweeter pallet of orange chicken , this is what you're looking for! Regardless of my preference it IS DELICIOUS. • T̲h̲e̲ ̲b̲o̲u̲r̲b̲a̲n̲/̲t̲e̲r̲i̲y̲a̲k̲i̲ ̲c̲h̲i̲c̲k̲e̲n̲: (not sure what it is 😅 I apologize): Mainly what drew me in to purchase from here it just looked so delicious , and sure as hell tasted delicious as well, it has a smoky grilled sweet taste and I just absolutely loved it. • F̲r̲i̲e̲d̲ ̲r̲i̲c̲e̲: Delicious,it was fresh and savory what you expect of your regular fried rice • Noodles 🍜 : How many times have I said delicious in this review, Delicious , I love me some sloppy noodles 😁 😋 loved the vegetables in the noodles as well. Overall not bad at all , if you're looking for a lil something and have an open pallet then I'd recommend trying them out.

I went to grab lunch, & got it from Side Wok Cafe. Don't waste your money. I ordered teriyaki chicken with rice & eggroll, the chicken had some parts raw (hope it can be seen in the picture).

Not sure if it was an off day for them but the food was dripping in oil/grease, I took a bite of my orange chicken and had to immediately spit it out because of all the grease that came out and their fried rice was worse. My husband and I had to throw away our plates and share a Chick-fil-A sandwich.

I don't understand a lot about the negative reviews. I've been there three times now and have yet to be disappointed. My husband that is picky about his food even liked it when he tried my plate and trust me that's saying a lot. The women behind the counter are very nice even offered samples. All I got to say about the other reviews is that to each his own everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But I like it and would eat there anytime. Just wish it wasn't in the mall.

The food is very good , chicken teriyaki is juicy and has a grilled smoked flavor , noodles are nice and sloppy , you can see what you are buying when ordering so you are already halfway there . You should see half of the people that order at the food court , lol , that was the bad part about eating at the food court . Tacky and crude people who go to the mall dressed in their pajamas and talk in a vulgar manner . The lady and people there aren't rude and are patient when you are ordering .
