Times Description

Despite its rather modest location in a strip mall, Wacky Wok serves what is probably the best cheap Chinese food in Venice. A recent re-model has rescued Wacky Wok from the ranks of take-out/delivery only. It’s now nice enough to eat-in and you can even enjoy watching a little television on their new, big flat-screen. Because it does such a robust delivery business, though, wait times can run long when you’re at a table. The menu is that of your typical Chinese restaurant, but either through their cooking technique or their sourcing of ingredients, the food always comes out tasting fresh, light and delicious. Service isn’t especially warm, but it is attentive. Alcohol is not served. Finally, parking can be a bit of a pain since you’re competing with the other stores in the strip mall. Best to stick with delivery.
