Reviews for Flamin wok Jamaican Chinese & seafood in The Bronx, NY
Too expensive for portion size. I paid 13.50 for a small container of lo mein and some kind of shrimp and fish in a cream sauce.... Portions are not big enough for what you pay. And the menu is confusing and nothing is labeled despite being set up like abuffet. So it looks fresh and good, but it is under lamps and in heating containers to keep it hot. Altogether mostly noodlesand maybe 6 little shrimp and a couple of bites of salmon with veggies. The lo mein was pre made as well in a bucket. The foodwas tasty but I may have had a reaction to it bc I felt bad later which is unusual for me, but I also ate a bunch of cookies?butI usually don?t feel bad after cookies. Anyway I may try it again if I can clearly see a menu and prices. I was hoping it wouldbe 6.99 but nothing is labeled and you basically point to an item and ask for it. Through glass. The lady and I were shouting ateach other bc I couldn?t hear her, and she didn?t hear me ask how much it was before and started making it up-so I just acceptedmy fate and paid 13.50 for a dish that should have been no more than 8$. Unfortunately, despite being pretty good, I won?t paythat again. And would return, if I can keep my price point to a reasonable amount. But I left feeling ripped off, or evenwondered if I was being singled out for some reason. I couldn?t believe I paid 13.50 for a small container of food. I leftfeeling miffed. And I left thinking maybe the woman serving had prejudice against me and ?made up? the price. Since as I saidbefore nothing was labeled. Just out. I am actually glad other people overpaid as well so I was hopefully being paranoid. Itdoesn?t help a neighboring business tried to scam me out of 150$ worth of printmaking cards a day or two before. Anyway if I hadany advice for this place. Make a real menu, label your items with prices clearly, lower your price point and people will comeback. Instead people won?t return bc it?s not worth it and they can get food elsewhere that is better Read more
I love this place! I ordered a steamed fish with fried rice. I wanted a little veggie, and they were able to accommodate me and... add steamed vegetables to the order. Excellent customer service. I?ll be back. Read more
The food here is amazing!!! I had jerk chicken fried rice and my fave oxtails. They always have great customer service if you... are ever in the area looking for something to eat this is a really nice spot to order food from. Read more
I gave this new location chance and the food was good. My favorite there is rhe baked chicken and the chicken and pepper soup... was good too. Check them out everything looks and tastes fresh. Read more
I came here because the name of the restaurant attracted me - I'm half Chinese and half Jamaican, and I would love to try a meal... that blends the best of both cultures. I came here last night and ordered the sweet chill chicken with lo mein, my family gotother meals like the Jerk chicken with fried rice, sweet plantains, etc. The food is very well cooked and flavorful, so Idefinitely recommend the food here. My only criticism is there's not enough Chinese food selections, it's mostly Jamaican foodand seafood. I suggest adding General Tso's Chicken, spring roll, Szechuan chicken or noodles to the menu. Please note this is atake-out restaurant and there aren't any seating inside. If you live nearby or far away (like me, from Pennsylvania), comesupport this restaurant! Read more
Taste: 2.5 out of 5 Portion/Cost: 2 out of 5 I did not get sick from the meal so I will give this 3 stars. I paid 18 dollars... for the shrimp and steak low mein. The steak was so thin, I could barely see it. I do not mind waiting 30 minutes for food.However, I would not wait for this quality For comparison I could have gotten a larger portion of oxtail at another restaurantat a similar price. Overall they need to improve the flavor of the food, as well as the portion sizes. Read more
Looka here this food is good. "Fried Rice" wasn't that Chinese restaurant rice we are used to. It's some type of yellow rice but... with them seasonings and a scotch bonnet. I wanted the (ITAL) Vegan Plate but they were sold out already at 5:30pm.Unfortunately...???? So I got.... Fried Red Snapper Rasta Pasta Fried Rice A bit of Veg Dumpling They fry the snapper whole(seasoned just right) Rasta Pasta (good) Fried Rice is not the old school Chinese restaurant stuff. It tastes fresh, not thatbottom of pan burnt stuff. Dumpling (Fried but not oily like Golden Crust, yet it was a little too doughy). They make anycombination of food that they have available. *****Containers are small/medium.****** NO ATTITUDE!!! ????????????Good CustomerService !!!!!???????????? I know we all are used to being abused by the counter lady at Jamaican restaurants. You won't getthat here. Location is Burke Avenue right off of Williambridge Road. Close to the Bx8. Read more
