Hot Wok Express - Flagstaff

Get past the Asian market that shares the space, and you have a pretty standard asian food experience. Prices and portions are average with most dishes falling into the $12 category. Our crab cheese wonton came a tad cold and more generous filling would have been nice.

A perfect place for people from both sides you only need to know which side you are from/ standing. If you are a fan of authentic spicy Chinese food (Szechuan), just let the host know, their cook is an amazing real Szechuan chef, who cooks real Szechuan. I told the host I want my dishes to be 'no (added) sugar ' and 'extra spicy ', he put it down on the order (and printed out on the receipt as you can see), the food all came out the exact way I wanted. As I travel a lot and I am a good cook myself, it is hands down, better than what I can do, and honestly what most top Chinese restaurants can do in the US. The way the chef manipulates the US chilli (which contains little flavor and aroma when compare with local Szechuan chilli) to more aromatic to your taste and smell, I am very grateful (I do the same at home. Glad to see someone else cares enough to do the same kind of thought process, experiment and deliver the results). If you like the regular americanized Chinese food, come here, too! They make all your favourite dishes more flavorful with more layers of enjoyment, without overwhelming sugars. The chef is very thoughtful and trains the cooks well. I wish they could have a restaurant in my city. This is absolutely a gem of Flagstaff. I want to visit it again before I leave the town.

I have been in the hospitality industry for at least five years, and am well-versed with what makes diners happy. I can honestly say that this is one of the best Chinese restaurants around. The food is so fresh and delicious and it's really like a home. This isn't your typical Chinese restaurant you see on every block. It's just too darn good!

The food tastes very good. The staffs are very nice and super fast.

There was excellent speed and service at the Hot Wok Restaurant. We received the dish five minutes after the order, and our dinner went excellent, especially the beef, chicken and chili soldiers. I often visit this place; my favorites are the house special, the curry chicken and the special beef of the cook. The young woman behind the counter is incredibly warm, polite and informed, and I will highly recommend this place to my neighbours, colleagues, relatives and friends!
