    Very forgettable fast food Chinese. Even with lowered expectations of getting food in an airport, the food was a bit below par though the service was quick and the price a bit more reasonable than other restaurants nearby.

    I tried three items here. The orange chicken was slightly crispy with a sweet orange sauce that lacked any complexity. It would almost have been better if it were less sweet and less sour as the sauce was somewhat unappetizing. The chicken with mushroom was very soft (but not really in a tender sense) where the mushroom didn't have the earthy umami and juiciness I expect from the dish. The green bean with beef was similarly soft without the fresh flavor or firmness I was expecting from the bean. The fried rice tasted like wet white rice tossed with a touch of soy sauce and egg. There was no wok hay at all in it.

    Overall, this is probably the cheapest food by weight in the terminal but failed to impress.

    My flight was delayed and I love Chinese food so against better judgement I gave Manchu Wok a try. Bad move. It was terrible.  

    To be specific I had chicken with green beans, chicken with mushrooms and lo mein. The two entrees were flavorless (except for salty), both lacked any noticeable presence of actual chicken meat and the beans were clearly either frozen or canned. The lo mein was ok at best and the highlight of this disappointing meal.  

    Bottom Line:  Do yourself a favor and dine elsewhere

    Yelp makes me give one star but I'd rather give -5.

    This is the most absurdly gross excuse for fast Chinese food. I wish Panda would come in and take over because everything is absolutely tasteless. From the noodles to the fried rice...don't waste your money.

    Service was pretty quick. They had several entree options and they were varied: beef, chicken, tofu, vegetarian, spicy, curry...

    The also have quite a few sides: egg rolls (with/without meat), crab Rangoon, pork dumplings (though these were very dry).

    Price is fair for an airport and the serving size. Here, you will get exactly what you expect. The taste is pretty good, quality is pretty good, service was friendly and fairly quick.

    You do have to ask for chopsticks, if you prefer those over a fork.

    airport food court...looking for food options for the toddler...finding manchu wok...orange chicken, potstickers and chow mein looking like a decent option for $8.99...adding a soda $2.29...pick-your-item fast food chinese...counter with pre-made food behind the glass...scooped and passed to the end to pay....noodles were dry, but the toddler ate...potstickers were the favorite...orange chicken was battered hard and thick, and heavily coated in thick and heavy sweet glazing....was the least favorite....the meal was poor by adult standards, but toddler ate the potsticker and noodles...mission accomplished....
