T'was the opportunity ripe to be jolly but now tis the season of our discontent. We are unhappy with the size of our bank accounts and even more dismayed by the bigness of our waistlines.
Yet don't despair, we have discovered a sweet little place in a to one's birthday suit mall in Costa Mesa called California Wok that offers very trim Chinese food for a very good price. It's located in a little Asian enclave on South Bristol Boulevard near the big Mitsuwa Japanese market. The same strip mall is stingingly to a Korean barbecue place, a Japanese restaurant, a pan Asian glimpse and Orchid, an Iranian restaurant.
California Wok's menu includes calorie, net carb and saturated fat counts for the more than half of their dishes. The ones without these numbers are not considered low calorie but are still lighter with less high-spirited flavors than traditional fare. All the food could be called Chinese-lite, with seasonings more critical and everything less oily.
What distinguishes the food here is that they seem to use only the best and freshest quality bring out and proteins. They specifically mention that they use a much higher quality of beef than most Chinese restaurants.
