"Having been to Wokcano before, I was so looking forward to the Peking Duck appetizer. We ordered it and what a huge disappointment. It should have been called a lettuce wrap! Instead of making your own, like it used to be, now they come already wrapped. They were mostly lettuce and maybe a tiny bit of duck! Awful! Not going back there again!!!!!!!!"

"While the food was tasty and filling, the prices remain one of the highest in the area. Wokcano presents itself as a casual, every-day restaurant, however its menu prices puts it in the special occassion category, which it definitely is not. For that kind of expense, we should have eaten next door at Jiraffe."

"sorry I am a big sushi fan and the sushi at wokano unfortunately was one of the worse. the portions were tiny and didn't look as fresh as I'm use to. the rice seemed over cooked. I would have perferred to pay more for better portions. I had spicy tuna rolls, salmon and tuna sushi. My friends also were unhappy."

"Excellent food, outstanding service. I was there with a group of vietnamese and chinese friends and the waiter was ultra friendly and sensitive (due to language barrier). Loved the place, the food and the service!"

"Was very cold and the food was overpriced for the quality of the food. Will not be going back anytime soon. Also, not good for groups. They don't have any big enough table for anything above 4."
