Golden Wok

So a reader recommended Golden Wok to me just over two years ago now.  I know, aren't I just the worst?  To be honest, I find it hard to get excited about Americanized Chinese food.  There's no shortage of those types of eateries around here, and let's call a spade a spade: most of them suck.  It seems to be all about nostalgia.  If a place is one you visited long, long ago or is remarkably similar to that place, you like it.  That's the only way I can explain the loyalty to some of the more popular Chinese restaurants around here.  Still, she was adamant and I felt bad for delaying, so I finally gave them a chance...

Crooked Fence Brewing Co. Barrelhouse

Okay, so I know my last review was of a brewpub as well.  Sue me.  The roommate and I hit two pretty much back-to-back.  Crooked Fence Brewing Co.'s Barrelhouse is a little closer to home and with plenty of parking, so that made it a little easier for us to make it to.
