Mister Wok

I would like to give it a 3.5 opposed to a 4. The thing is, Downingtown doesn’t have great chinese, but it does have one pretty good spot. Mister Wok’s does a fine job, but understand going ito it that you’ll get nothing exceptional.
I am a big fan of the General Tso’s, as it has a nice bit of sweetness and some heat (I always order extra spicy).
It’s mostly clean, and well, it’s exactly what you’d picture when you think of, «Quick take-​out chinese place»
I don’t have any complaints, but I don’t have massive praise. In the area, however, this is the best.

We called in an order and pick it up in 10 minutes. Good food, clean store front and nice front of house employees.

The best dish is the beef and broccoli hands down. This place isn’t the best, but it’s close to where I live.

We live in the West Chester/​Downingtown area and after trying nearly every local Chinese/​American restaurant over the past 5 years, Mister Wok is our favorite. I tend to judge Chinese take-​outs on a few different items that I typically order:
–Lo Mein (Pork/​Chicken/​Beef/​Shrimp)
–Egg Rolls
–WonTon Soup
–Chicken w/​Mixed Vegetables
–General Tso’s Chicken
Mister Wok nails every one of these. The vegetables in the dishes always seem really fresh, and the egg rolls are just your typical good tasting egg rolls. I was amazed at how bad some of the egg rolls are at places in this area — some are either ridiculously salty, mushy inside, etc. So thankfully Mister Wok has that down.
I can’t comment on Steve’s remarks about getting sick as we haven’t experienced issues here, but if we ever do I’ll be sure to update. I guess it’s just that the other places in the area are so bad, that we continue to go back to Mister Wok. But on that note, when I order chinese, I always feel like there is a «risk» being taken because let’s face it… these places typically aren’t exactly examples of cleanliness. I actually think Mister Wok is pretty clean looking inside. Head over to China King in West Chester and then go to Mister Wok’s. You’ll never look back.

My wife and I tried this place for some American-​Chinese food dishes. Beef & Broccoli, General Tso’s Chicken, Won Ton Soup. It was tasty going down but man did we get sick the other way out! We paid the price that night and the morning after.
We won’t be returning and are very weary to try any Chinese food places in the area after eating here and seeing the other poor reviews nearby. Guess we’ll stick to cooking at home.
