It seems there’s a lack of places to go in Morgantown that serve any sort of ethnic food. Being relatively new here, and having come from a large city, it has been hard to adjust to the small selection of ethnic dining opportunities. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover China Wok a few months ago, and have been returning there ever since.
The food is perfect, if you’re looking for quick, inexpensive chinese food (which is usually my favorite kind of chinese). It’s certainly not fine dining, but the staff is friendly and the cooks know their stuff, and it’s clearly a family-run small business.
While all of the food is quite delicious, make sure to try some of the chef’s specials along with any classic chinese favorites. The General Tso’s chicken, Lemon Chicken, and Tangerine Beef are some of my personal favorites.
Dining-in is an option, but for the most part take-out seems to be the standard order for China Wok. Delivery is also available, and the drivers will take on all sorts of weather and road conditions if you’re not feeling up to driving in (we tested this during the February snow storm, and found that they would even muscle down roads completely covered in ice and snow, and trudge down snow-covered hills to get to the house). It’s a bit far away for the average college folk – out toward the mall – but definitely worth the drive out or the delivery charge.

I find it pretty funny that you haven’t seen too many ethnic places to eat! There are so many! I’m glad you’re doing this blog, it’s gonna be a learning adventure. If I were you, I’d go down to Asian Garden before it closes on the 22nd. It’s pretty much Morgantown’s best chinese place and they’re retiring.

I was just going to mention Kenyan Cafe. We’re working on ads for them in my 401 class and they seem to have a variety of things. I’ll be checking them out soon.
Best Chinese food in Morgantown is by far Great Wall… they have the best spring rolls around, plus conveniently located on High Street. How can you pass it up!
