Master Wok

They are few places selling BBQ chicken in this mall, and I found out this is the only store using the fresh chicken from Perdue Farm !
From my observation, their employees are pretty in a good team works ! Open steam table showing all the choices of foods, you can ask for a sample ! Big tray for a very reasonable price, you may give they a shot !

This vendor is like the cousin of the Cajun vendor just across the mall food court. What really is the difference? In the name of fairness, I ordered a two-​item entrée from both of them and put the two food containers side by side in the photo.
Frivolity aside, you couldn’t really go wrong here either. I thought there was a good variety of dishes to choose from. Service was decent and there wasn’t much of a wait, even on Saturday. The portion size of the two-​item entrée is ample for what you’re paying.

Its a normal Chinese place serving lunch at $ 6.15 for 2 entrees and rice/​noodles. The spice bourbon chicken is good. Also took the pepper chicken but too much of pepper. They could have made it better.

Tried it for lunch because it’s the only Chinese place in the mall. Very disappointing. Sarku Japan is right across from it with much, much better food.
Had the 2 meat combo with an egg roll. Lo mien wasn’t bad, but everything else was not good. Egg roll was crispy but needed a lot of duck sauce to drown out the bland taste. General chicken and spicy chicken were both very dry, and neither of them had particularly good sauces either.
Skip it.

I must preface this review by saying that one of my favorite dishes is the Teryaki Chicken from Sarku located directly across from the new Master Wok location. As my wife will surely tell you, I have an infatuation with the Teryaki Chicken and white rice. (Yes, double meat please!) However, as I am sure many of you Sarku fans know, it can be extremely frustrating when you walk around the corner and see a line a mile long and know that it will take probably close to 15 minutes to actually get your food. One of the worst feelings is walking up with no line, ordering your food and then realizing the person in front of you just got the last of the chicken and now you have to wait for 10+ minutes for a new batch to be made. So, where am I going with this you ask??? Well… one fateful day about 3 weeks ago, the mall was packed and Sarku had the mile long wait. I looked across the way and saw Master Wok. I thought to myself… why not. Let’s give this place a try.
As I walked up, I was greeted with a sign reading two entrees for roughly $ 6. Being the smart person I am, I knew the sign was misleading, and it should have read, «Choose Lo Mein or Rice and then two meats.» They do not even try to serve it seperately. Even with this misleading advertising, this eal will still be less than Sarku by more than a dollar. Bonus in my book!
I decided to try the lo mein, which in my opinion is excellent for a quick service walk up counter restaurant. My wife agreed with me. Nice tender noodles, not to salty, not dried up from sitting around all day. The food seemed fresh. For my two meats I went with the Teryaki Chicken (Big Surprise) and Spicy Chicken. The Teryaki chicken was good, but not as good as Sarku. The spicy chicken was excellent. After reading the last review, I think it may depend on when you visit. All 3 times I have gotten food from Master Wok, the chicken seemed very fresh. This was around 5:00 PM. They may have just prepared this chicken for dinner. Perhaps if you go during an off time, it may be less than satisfactory, but I cannot comment on that. The portions I received completely filled me up, and I am picky with that. I hate when you get one tiny scoop of chicken, but I didnt run into that problem.
Master Wok is a great back-​up place for me if Sarku is packed. To be honest, on one occassion I did actually go to Master Wok over Sarku. My old back-​up, Cajun Chicken, has gone by the way side. I love their Bourbon Chicken, but the increased pricing and often small portions made me choose to go else where. Hello Master Wok. Hope you stay around for a while. ALOHA!!!

Master Wok recently replaced another Chinese restaurant in the food court at White Marsh Mall, but it sadly does not live up to my expectations. I went two times and both times my chicken was dry and seemed like it had been sitting out all day. The portions are not plentiful either. The service is friendly and fast, but there are more options in the food court if you want some Asian cuisine.
