"This won 't be pretty..... My favorite cucuisine is Asian. Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese....I 'm down with all of them. I heard Totties had a new owner, new menu. Decided to grab some take away check it out. 3 Dishes set me back $49.71 1. Pad See Ew w/ fried tofu mild 2. Shumai 3. Panang Curry w/ chicken mild 1. The Pad See Ew, decent assortment of overcooked veggies, including broccoli, boc Choi, carrots, bean sprouts, and fried egg. The fried tofu was good, and the sauce flavor was not bad. Noodles absolutely sucked, as they were clumped in bundles, not allowing the sauce to coat individual noodles, and were not properly stir fried. The smokey black soy, wok fried flavor, typical of this dish, was completely absent. 4.5 out of 10 2. Shumai I 've never come across chicken shumai, (wtf? the meat inside noodle wrapper was over cooked, dry and tasteless, the noodle wrapper was an odd combo of dry/rubbery soggy/falling apart. I 'm guessing it 's because of an extended time in a freezer or maybe because of being microwaved? Absolute S#! ! 0 out of 10. Whoever made this dish needs remedial training. 3. The other adult in my party had the panang curry, their comments 'no peanut flavor, thin watery sauce overly spiced for mild '. They bumper car 'd between a 3 and 4 out of 10. I suppose there was a reason that there were less than 8 people dining in the restraunt at 6:15 on a friday evening in Scottsdale on Barrett Jackson weekend. Anyway, I 'm sure readers have picked up on my displeasure and assume I do not recommend and won 't return they would be..... CORRECT."

"I always had the opinion that Dot Wo was one of the best Chinese restaurants in Oklahoma City, but I ate lunch there today and it was absolutely terrible, easily the worst tasting food I have had anywhere. I had eaten there years ago and recalled that I didn't care for the shrimp and lobster sauce, but I didn't recall why, so I tried again and it was a disaster. I could almost dismiss it as Asian fashion, as everything was off. However, that excuse doesn't work. They substituted ingredients as if the cook had been dishonorably discharged from the service, or maybe came straight from McDonald's. His choices were wrong and horrible, and I couldn't eat it. I challenge you to order friend wontons anywhere, and you will get little chunks of pork or other meat wrapped in a thin skin and fried, at DW you get fried wrappers - yech! Years ago on the East Coast I grew up on shrimp and lobster sauce, a tasty conconcotion of ground pork, peas, green onions, ginger and eggs. It was so good you could make a meal of sauce and boiled rice. Over the years the pork disappearred, but this mess was mostly water chestnuts and mushrooms and tasted like dishwater thickened with corn starch. The egg drop soup came with 1 pack of saltine crackers, no noodles, and chopped water chestnuts - how can anyone screw this up? For the uninformed, fried rice is brown, usually with bits of egg, it's not yellow and devoid of anything else. The rings were either shrimp paste or a microthin slice of shrimp, at least the flavor was reminiscent of shrimp. I took a couple of swallows of my soda and the waiter refilled it johnny on the spot - apparently this was my one legal refill. When I asked for a refill he asked if I wanted to buy another one. $12.76 with tax, and I didn't tip. Avoid this place like the plague."
