New Chief Wok - Salem

Recently visited this Chinese restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The menu offered a delightful variety of dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming, matched by excellent service. A wonderful spot for anyone looking to enjoy a good Chinese meal.

My husband and I stopped in for the first time today around 4:30pm. I’ll say I wasn’t expecting to see such a nice table layout. They have a nice dinning area, not too dark and the other side of the restaurant was divided for the tavern section to keep it private.Our waiter was very friendly taking our order and came around several times to check in on us.My husband had a coke and I always get a pot of tea. When the food came I was a tad disappointed that it’s the already prepared frozen type china blossom food. Peas in the rice. You know that they did doctor it up with roast pork, scrambled egg, and sprouts.Overall for the food was prepared very good for what it is.The chicken fingers crispy but soft inside, not oily. When I go to a Chinese restaurant I normally judge them by their crab Rangoons. It would be nice for a homemade type wrap over the already made Rangoons.The price was pretty decent for the combination plates we got. Maybe it was the time of day everything was pretty fresh. I will be back to try some other old favorites like Happy Family and lomein.

I go to New Chief Wok a lot because the food is great, the service is always good, and the people are very friendly. Tonight I tried a new dish from the sushi side of the restaurant called Wasabi Shrimp. It consisted of 10 good size shrimp in a not too spicy delicious wasabi mustard sauce combined with fresh mango and pineapple. The fresh fruit complimented the shrimp nicely nicely giving you that cool,fresh yet slightly spicy flavor all at once. I will definitely order that dish again!!

The oil in my motorcycle is cleaner than there fryolator….brings a new meaning to chicken fingers brown fingers and the bartender….. her personality would not work at a funeral home, absolutely the worst, just a total miserable person, should just stay home…. As for the patrons…. Set the wayback machine to Als trailer park …. Absolutely stay away from this dump how they are still open is beyond me must be a long term lease…. Lol head to the bar and visit the wonderful cheerful lady bartender! stay home jam toothpicks under your fingernails its the same feeling you get when the wonderful bartender greets you… . Its like we we’re driving through Salem an it said next right Hell… but I think the greeting I would get for hell was better than the head trailer trash who runs the bar…..wow words can’t describe this dump!

This restaurant was a lovely surprise. We had passed it for years and never ventured in, but on new years day we took a chance and have been back three times already! The vegetarian options are amazing, in particular something called Triple Green, a combination of pea pods, string beans, and broccoli in a brown sauce. We took friends there Saturday night and they loved the best and the moo shu. It's open for lunch and dinner every day but Monday and serves Chinese and Japanese dishes. Can't wait to return, Vegetarian options: Salt and pepper fried bean curd is crisp and hearty.
