Desii Wok

Desi Wok is gone!

I touched call button on Zabihah App for Desi Wok & announcement said The number is not in service. I drove to this place & it's dark @ all signs & bright lights are gone. This place & owner was too good to last.

Earlier in the year when it opened I was not sure it would run based on just the looks as the food was not American-Chinese most of us Desi here prefer.

Owner made a big blunder on just Offering Indo-Paak style Chinese. Did he do market research ?

I had feelings it would not catch on but really I could not say it to his face. He always was pleasant & welcoming. All I could hope that he change the menu to add lot more dishes including real Chinese people like to eat here. I'm very sorry for his business loss.

So long my friend.

I stopped by the other day to pick up take out food. The place is clean and spacious, compared to most "indian/pakistani" asian fusion joints in the area.

However the food is not really worth it. It tastes just like the chinese that my wife can cook at home, if I am going to eat out I am looking for that "professional" restaurant taste/flavor.

The chicken corn soup reminded me of the soup back in Pakistan but that was it.

To add some credibility to my review, I am a BIG fan of asian-indian fusion food and have tried the best asian-indian fusion restaurants in NYC, San Fran and in Toronto and I've probably rate this one on the lower end of the scale..

went here the other day for lunch, wasnt really sure what to expect. when i walked in i was greeted by a waitress and a man who appeared to be the cook but given his hospitable demeanor i assumed he was also the owner. the place was mostly empty so they told me i could sit wherever i liked.

i had to wait a little while for my date to show up so the cook/owner offered me their wifi password while i waited. when my lady friend arrived he came back over and gave us a little bit of history about the restaurant and cuisine and recommended a couple of dishes to try.

the food was interesting. good, but a little strange. but what do you expect from a pakistani-chinese place. we ordered the desii special soup, the beef manchurian, the chicken chili dry, and the fried rice. like i said they were all good but the more noteworthy things were the soup and the fried rice. the soup kinda tasted like liquid cheeseburger. weird but not bad. the fried rice was really killer though just straight up good.

the two things that really made this place a 5 is the uniqueness of the cuisine, and the outstanding service/hospitality. ive never been to anyplace like it before.
