Two thumbs up for Wok Hay in Bearden
Posted By katie allison granju
Legally Brunette gives the restaurant a glowing review in her “recommendation of the week” series:
I had eaten at Wok Hay before it went through “the change” (not the menopause one), and back then, I would have said that it was okay. The food was good, but the concept, which reminded me of a Panera (but with Asian food), didn’t really do much for me. I heard about Ruby Tuesday buying it awhile back and turning it into a sit-down restaurant, but I hadn’t eaten there since then, mainly because I had kind of forgotten about it.
Well, after eating there with Philly last night, all I have to say is: Good job, Ruby Tuesday.
When I walked into Wok Hay, I immediately loved its ambiance. It’s decorated with lots of red and other deep colors, and it has the appearance of a nice restaurant, even though the food is still priced very reasonably.
Philly and I had just had a couple of beers and some popcorn over at Toddy’s when we got there, so we weren’t starving, and we decided that we’d each get a cup of hot and sour soup and then split a meal. First of all, the “cups” of soup were a lot bigger than a normal cup! And second of all, we each got our own bowl of crunchy wontons with our soup, which I thought was a nice touch. For our entree, we decided on the Kung Pao Noodle Bowl with beef (we also could’ve gotten chicken), and when it arrived, they had already split it into two portions for us! I love it when restaurants do that.
The service was good, the food was good, the prices were good…overall, it was a great meal.

I look forward to your remarks on the new Ott’s. I ate there but will reserve any comments until reading yours.
