Mill Creek Restaurant Guide

Jemmy's Wok is a small but congenial oasis in a shopping mall storefront, serving a dedicated, well-heeled suburban clientele.

The food is remarkably colorful, boldly seasoned and artfully presented; the sense of warm, attentive service has remained (Jemmy takes almost every order to the kitchen himself) and there isn't a gram of MSG on the premises.

Jemmy's Wok offers a considerable menu, with most of the typical provincial Chinese choices. But the heart of the kitchen resides in 20 "Chef's Specialties" (most priced between $8.75 and $10, an exception being Dragon & Phoenix, a spicy combination of braised lobster and chicken - surf 'n' roost? - at $13.95).
