Magic Wok - Bridgewater

We went to a Chinese restaurant on the South Shore. We skipped the dishes from the heating frame combo plate. The chef's specialties were amazing and had generous portions that left us with leftovers. I am now craving the black bean chicken dish just thinking about it. I may have to make the half hour drive to get it again. After spending 30 years and living in 21 different houses during my military career in major cities like Vancouver, Ottawa, and Edmonton, this restaurant is now one of my favorites since retiring on the South Shore.

I am disappointed. I used to love eating at this restaurant, but I had not been able to visit in a while due to COVID. Unfortunately, my recent experience was not good. The prices are high considering the portion sizes. The chicken balls were tough to chew, and the noodles had a strange smoky flavor that got worse the more I ate. The best part was the dessert, but it was too greasy and overdue. To top it off, we were charged for takeout containers, which felt unfair. I will not be returning.

During our visit to Bridgewater, we decided to stop at this restaurant for lunch. The menu was displayed on boards, making it easy for us to choose. We decided to order a small combo board. We were both happy with the taste and portion size, as we were looking for a light meal. The egg rolls were delicious, the rice was good, and while the chicken balls were a bit crispy, they were still tasty. Overall, we would consider returning if we were in the mood for Chinese food in a casual setting.

The worst Chinese food ever...small portions! bad management! I will never bring this restaurant back!

Stopped later in the evening. Great food and fair prices. Friendly service. Clean facilities. Big helpings of food. The chow mein is really good, and they have the best egg rolls.
