Wok Wok

When I first drove by Wok Wok, an indescript American-Chinese joint nestled into the Shaw's Plaza in Milford, I thought that the owners had used the Chinese Restaurant Name Generator before starting their business, but it was broken that day.

Don't let the name fool you though, this place is good.

Today's review is on the common staple of all Post-Polynesian casual Chinese-American restaurants: General Tso's Chicken. It's a general rule if a Post-Polynesian can do General Tso's (Polynesian places can do Pu Pu Platters, but not the 2nd generation of Chinese-American dishes like General Tso's), then it's good, and Wok Wok nails their General Tso's.

The croquettes are solid and moist, the sauce is flavorful and easily dippable onto other side dishes, and Wok Wok provides a choice of appetizers with the General Tso's special along with Fried Rice so you'll have plenty to dip that sauce in, and the price is reasonable compared to other Chinese joints in the area.

If I had anything bad to say about this place it's that they seem to use MSG and the time I went there to eat the pictured meal above, almost nobody was there, although that just might be a sign of the transient nature of the shopping plaza the place is located in rather than the quality of their food.

If you're heading down 101A to the Oval and need some greasy, fast goodness: Wok Wok is a good choice in my book.
