She says she wanted to try the food, but we think Cheap Bastard stopped by Moon Wok just to have an excuse to break out her fedora, single white glove and sequined ruby dancing shoes. You can find the place at 8670 Skillman St., 214-221-8888.
Times I drove by and said to myself, "Ha. Moon Wok," before actually trying the food here: 1/2 Other customers in here besides me count: 0
Moon Wok, you officially win the Naming Wok Restaurants in Dallas Wars. Many others before you have tried to name woksteraunts in Dallas, but you have bested them all (even Wok In & Out).
Moon Wok is very clean inside (happy face) but there's no actual moonwalk. (Hey, Moon Wok, GET A BOUNCE HOUSE INSIDE YOU.) They do, however, have all of your standard Americanized Chinese food options (including but not limited to chicken lo mein, Mongolian beef, crab Rangoon, super-fried-eggrolls-stuffed-with-who-cares-what-as-long-as-there's-plenty-of-sweet-and-sour-sauce-which-there-is).
There are 100 numbered dishes on this menu.
If you're looking for spicy food from Moon Wok, you need to ask for it. The food I ordered was good -- the House Special Mei Fun was a boatload of yummy rice noodles and veggies and the Mongolian beef had some serious oyster sauce up in it -- the dishes just weren't at all spicy. Not that that's surprising (or wrong for their target market), as they're in Lake Highlands (also known as Seriously You're Claiming That These Are Highlands and That's a Lake Sure Fine Hey Nice Double Stroller).
Moon Wok has several lunch specials for $4.99. (Cheap note: Order food to-go or for delivery and you'll get at least a double portion of your entree. Pretty sure when I went that I left with 20 pounds of food and technically only two entrees.) They have 2-to-5 p.m. specials. And, according to their menu, they have "the taste of Asian food." Looking for delivery? Good. Moon Wok offers delivery to many a Lake Highlander.
Does the Moon Wok kids' menu have chicken nuggets on it? Hell yeah, it does. Because shit is authentic up in here.
Moon Wok also appears to offer sushi rolls, but since none of those had any raw fish in them, I opted out. Not only is a sushi roll with cooked fish in it a waste of mouth time and stomach space, it's a shame punch straight to your dignity. Plus, "California roll" has always sounded like John Goodman anatomy to me, anyway.
