Bites Nearby: Good Food for Great Price at Star Wok

With rising gas prices driving up food prices, it’s rare to find lots of food at a decent price. It’s even harder to find a meal that will fill you up for under $6. Yet does both, and does it well.

Every day but Sunday, the Chinese restaurant located on Mainstreet in downtown Hopkins features a lunch special from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Diners can pick from a variety of entrees—each served with pork fried rice and choice of wonton, egg drop or hot and sour soup. Each costs less than $5.50.

Unlike many of it’s competitors, the Star Wok serves traditional Egg Foo Young dishes, and Chow Mei Fun (thin noodles stir-friend with choice or meat or vegetable), not a common entrée in Chinese restaurants. For those watching their weight or with special diet concerns, Star Wok features a health food section, serving sauce on the side and vegetarian dishes. For picky eaters, Star Wok offers American dishes and rice dishes sure to please anyone.

The restaurant is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday.  

A downloadable menu is available on the restaurant's website or call 952-931-0603 to order take out.
