This place is amazing and has never lost it's touch even after closing for the short period of time they did. I have been eating at this restaurant since it was at the Eastgate Mall. The homemade gravies are what make the dishes so exquisitely delicious and unique. I love every dish they have. I have tried every dish they offer and my top favorites are the Gai Pad King which is the hot Thai chicken. I also love the garlic chicken and the Mongolian chicken. The pad Thai is also very delicious. The lines are longer then they used to be in the past but the wait is so worth it. I love this place and the customer service has been the same for years and the workers have been the same as long as I can remember. The owners are friendly and treat you like family. I give this place a 100/10 because it's that darn good.

Fast Wok is an eastside staple. Local, small business still operated by the owner and her family. The employees are like family and the line, while always long, is like a community. Fast Wok is a Thai and Chinese fusion, with signature dishes from each culture, and the food is thoughtfully prepared with care, the flavors blend in perfectly with each other--- and entirely different experience than you get from going to any ol' Chinese restaurant. If you have 1-2 hours to spend in line, I highly recommend Fast Wok. I literally don't even eat Chinese food from anywhere else. Tip: cash only, long lines, come with patience and an empty stomach, the portions are huge :)

Hideous building and location, but still 5 stars. If you saw the restaurant and surrounding area, you might be reluctant to try the food. I know that is what I thought, originally. The decor is 'Mid Century Church Basement'. This is not a place to bring a date unless they are a 'Foodie' impressed with hidden gems. The food is incredible! My family will wax poetic about Fast Wok at least once a week. Even my kids adore the food. We especially enjoy the Gai Pad King & Garlic Chicken (Beef Pepper Steak, but with chicken instead) and Egg Rolls. The first time I went, I was hesitant to get the Egg Rolls. Most places just have a lot of breading and little filling. The owner saw my reluctance and offered a sample. These are now my kids' favorite. I prefer more cabbage, however. The rest of us will get the two-dish meal of Gai Pad King (always available), & Garlic Chicken (Tue/Thur/Sat) with fried rice. It is even good cold or reheated. The soy sauce is terrible, though. They use those packets of soy sauce that are too salty and watered down. We always get takeout, so it was only an issue once. My husband is a gifted chef, so my family appreciates good food. I just can't speak about it highly enough. I am so grateful that it is open again. The owner is such a kind lady. I hope she is doing well. There are only five negatives: 1) The way it looks 2) The lines that go out the door and into the parking lot. I have no idea why it takes so long to scoop up the food and take my money, but it does. It boggles the mind. 3) She has a menu that rotates by the day of the week, so you might not get your favorite dish on a certain day. The Gai Pad King is always available, however. 4) Closed on Sunday (good for you! You deserve it!). 5) Soy sauce is cheap and served in plastic packets. Now that it is open again, I am going to go there for lunch! YAY! EDIT: The website says it is open again, but it isn't. I hope the owner / head chef recovers. She is a treasure.

Amazing value and very tasty though limited menu options. Also, don't be surprised if the line is out the door. But they move things along quickly and it's totally worth it.
