Goodbye, Mama Wok Chinese Restaurant
Mama Wok was a great little restaurant in Preston Corners, on the corner of Cary Pkwy and High House Rd. I loved their authentic Taiwanese food and was extremely disappointed tonight, when I tried to call in my takeout order, that they have closed their doors for good on November 15, 2007. While I am uncertain about the circumstances of their closing, I will say that this leaves a huge void for authentic Chinese cuisine here in the Cary/Morrisville area.
I am especially disappointed because places like Red Dragon (Davis Dr), Bamboo Garden (Davis Dr) and Orient Garden (NC-54, also Maynard/High House) all serve really crappy broccoli and carrots in brown sauce. Mama Wok was the only place to get spinach or other more “Chinese”-style vegetables. Mama Wok’s spinach with garlic was one of my “regular” takeout dishes. I will say that I really wish for some good Chinese food that doesn’t involve sweet and sour sauce. Especially some good vegetarian dishes other than just Ma-Po Tofu and Eggplant with Oyster Sauce.
If anyone can recommend some good Taiwanese eateries in the Cary area (or anywhere in the Triangle, really) please leave me a comment.
We were also extremely saddened by this loss. Mama Woks rocked! If you discover any new info on why they closed or where they went, please post it.
I loved Mama’s pot stickers! they Rocked! Steve
