The food here was amazing! It's the most authentic food I've had here in Edmond. Customer service was fantastic. Always refilling my water and asking if I needed anything. On another note, while I love that they offer milk tea, it's just ok. I felt it needed more flavor but still good. All around a great place to go. I will definitely be back!

Such a great hole in a wall place! Don't judge it by its cover. It has some great dishes here. My favorites are the noodle dishes especially the hand-made noodles. I love their hot and sour soup too. Their bubble tea is okay. Some days are great and some days the tea is really bitter.

Wahaha is the truth! A Chinese history professor took me here for my first time. I just let him pick from the Authentic Chinese menu and hoped for the best. The food that came out was indeed authentic, fresh, and full of flavors that I'd never had. For example, one of my favorites is the Oil Sprinkled hand-ripped noodle. The only way I can describe the flavor is "bright"- tangy, spicy, but not necessarily "hot", and wholesome. Hot & Spicy Chicken is also great. Steamed dumplings are great. I grew up in Oklahoma City, eating what I would still consider to be good "anglo" Chinese food, but I didn't know what I was missing until I let a Chinese person order the Chinese food. I'll never look back. The service has always been friendly and swift. The cook (owner?) has always come out to say hi. It's in what used to be a Taco Bell. That said, you don't go to Wahaha for the "ambiance", you go to eat authentic food prepared by people who care and know what they're doing. Another note- They've done a great job with their website! I'd like to see descriptions for the Authentic menu, but it's super easy to use and offers an "express dine in" option for a quicker lunch. Nicely done.

This place is great! Great authentic cuisine with excellent customer service. Don't let the outside fool you! Would highly recommend over chains like Dot Wo, Great Wall, Panda Express, etc. Tako yaki is a must try!

This place deserves more hype. The interior is small and antiquated, but the food more than makes up for it. Order off the authentic Chinese foods section of the menu and ignore the rest of the selections; you won't regret it. This is the best Chinese I've had in Oklahoma, leagues beyond the competition. The lamb with cumin is especially pleasing for the lamb lovers out there.

I had take out rom this place ordered the lunch special for me and the hubby. I was very disappointed! If was awful! The meat was chewy and the "brown" rice was just white rice with some dark soy sauce type of thing. Panda Express is much better!

I came here after reading reviews from my fellow yelpers. Here's my take: #1: Don't come here for the ambience. There is none! It's old fast food restaurant, redone; clean, but not glamourous. #2: The food is kind of plain. I ordered Sweet and Sour chicken. I got Sweet and sour chicken and some gummy rice. The chicken was deep fried and came with sauce to pour over it. That's it. There was no vegetables at all. I found it good, but lacking enough sauce. I didn't like the rice at all. I prefer mine fluffy. Personally, I didn't think it was all that great. Perhaps I didn't pick the right course, but I won't be back.

I've been here 3 or 4 times now since I was introduced to it a few months ago. The stir fried flat noodles are the best! Hot and sour soup isn't very sour, but still yummy! I add a little salt or soy sauce to mine. The servers are very sweet, and it's definitely not fast food Chinese. Made to order and flavored just right. :)

I might give this place a second chance via the drive thru but my "hot" tea was very bitter and served tepid in a coffee mug with no tea bag - I expected a pot for that price. I asked to exchange it for some green tea and the young waitress who had been overtly flirtatious and focused on the boys at the table next to me said, "Jasmine tea IS green tea..." in an argumentative tone so rather than telling her it was cold and bitter in front of her lascivious admirers I said please take it off my bill and bring me some water. My appetizer would've also gotten cold if I hadn't gotten up to get my own chopsticks after waiting several minutes on the same female waitperson. I had no desire to navigate further bs by the time my noodles arrived and asked for to go boxes. I don't digest food well when I'm angry so I sat in the parking lot to write this before leaving on an empty stomach. My waitperson was impatient, rude and impudent; she didn't deserve the dollar I gave her so I'm calling back to tell her that was for the cook.

After finding the more authentic items on their menu, I started loving this place. Yes the basic Americanized Chinese food here is subpar, but the authentic Chinese mainland type of food is awesome! You-po mien, literally translated as spicy noodle, is amazing. The hand-made noodles when are tasty and the dan Dan mien is just ok. The stringed lamb is quite good, great flavor and not too spicy. I'm still wary of their bobas and other drinks, but with all of the actual authentic and amazing Chinese food, why even get a boba?

Medium rare mango chicken is not acceptable. When a customer confronts a waiter about something like this it is not an opportunity for the cook to prove them wrong. Pink and undercooked chicken is a deal breaker. Most restaurants would go out of their way to make things right but in this instance they chose to make us feel dumb and replace the item with a different entree. The sesame chicken is pretty good though. The fried rice is kind of gooey. The spring rolls have no flavour.

THE BEST in Edmond! I have ordered off of the family menu (traditional recipes) during the new year many times and love the sweet and sour soup! When I was still going to UCO I would go here for lunch, one of the BEST deals you can find! If you are a fan of spicy food I would ask for the spicy oil. They will bring you a little serving tray with hot chili oil, fish sauce, hoisin sauce and a sweet / spicy peanut oil. Order something bad ass off the specials menu and you won't be disappointed! Not sure why the people have given low star reviews for such good food, especially a 2 stars for the decor? AND they haven't tried much on the menu?? Are you that pretentious? A true gem in Edmond worth visiting.

The building looks horrible, without a doubt. It's like an old Taco Mayo. We almost didn't go in. So glad we did. We got lamb strips (ok), spring rolls (very good), white rice, hot and sour and egg drop soups (both splendid- hubby said eggcellent), general tso chicken (awesome), and Hawaiian fried rice (fabulous). The food was excellent, we will be back. Only got 4 starts because of the creepy building.

The person who had the design input on Wahaha Cafe was either partially blind, or possibly suffering from Schizophrenia. It's the most random incorporation of stuff that I've seen in some time: - The table covers are different colors, as are the walls. - One of the walls for some odd reason has Cat in the Hat decals on it. - A majority of the menu signs above the counter are made with poster board and highlighters/sharpies. It's like they got some middle schoolers together and said, "okay kids, we're going to be making menus today, but we're going to let you decide how you want to do it." None of the above is a complaint or affecting the rating in any way. It's just an observation. First Visit: The Taro bubble tea was sooooooo, sooooooo bland. No exaggeration here, but If you had placed a cup of skim milk (with some purple food coloring in it) and the Taro bubble tea in front of me and asked me to differentiate between the two, I wouldn't be able to oblige your request. And it tasted like it looked. And the tapioca was inconsistent (most chewy, some really hard). Also, the Spring Rolls were sooooooo, sooooooo bland (it tasted like cabbage. And cabbage. And cabbage). And tiny. Sooooooo, sooooooo tiny. I was pretty disappointed, but I knew I wanted to give this place another shot (mainly because I saw that they had Dan Dan Noodles on the menu). It took a long time for me to return because I was no longer a college student (which was the main draw to Edmond). Second Visit: We had the Dan Dan Noodles, the Hot & Spicy Chicken, and the Stringed Lamb. All of it was quite delicious. Maybe a tad more salty than I like, but that didn't stop me from eating all the things. I'm kind of curious to know if they use Sichuan peppercorn in their food, because by the end of the meal, the inside of my mouth had a tingly, numb feeling. I don't have allergies so I know it wasn't an allergic reaction, and it wasn't unpleasant or anything. It just felt... effervescent. Oh right, customer service. On point. Absolutely amazing.

I would agree with the person that said don't let looks fool you. I have had veggie fried rice and the crab rangoons and the delicious soups as far as food from here and they were all very good and the portion size was huge as far as the veggie rice. To add to that, I got all this through their drive-thru. Wahaha isn't normally very busy which I think might explain how they are able to provide service through the drive thru since the food usually takes about 5-10 mins to make it's way to the drive thru depending on what you order. But I don't mind waiting. What I usually go to Wahaha for is the bubble teas. The flavor is very rich in the bubble tea mix and it's thick like I like it. I think someone mentioned frozen boba clumps. I've only had that happen to me once and that was because I didn't drink the bubble tea quick enough and thus a few of the bobas froze, but you can just let the bubble tea melt a little or take off the lid and scoop the tapioca bobas out and munch on them. I think the owner is really nice and he always smiles and says come back soon and actually seems to mean it.

I went here with one of my Asian friends (always helps when they can order Chinese food in Chinese...) and tried the hot and spicy chicken with white rice, the green bean platter (it may have been fried green beans) and a special handmade noodle with beef. All things were pretty delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked and tender, the green beans had ground meat in them and were super tasty, and the handmade noodles with beef really hit the spot! I wish I could have had more of them, but I had to keep stealing off of someone else's plate... The only thing I didn't really enjoy was the egg drop soup, and that's not anything bad about them...I don't really like egg drop soup, so not really sure why I ordered it. Next time I'll be sure to try the Sweet and Sour. I'm sure I'll be back in the future.

Larissa B.
I definitely recommend this place. It's delicious (Americanized) Chinese food that has a generous serving for the perfect price!! (Although I have heard they have legit Chinese food too.) You can get soup, rice, egg/spring roll, and an entree for $5.50 :) LOVE IT, not to mention, the atmosphere is fun, I really dig this small happy place.

Wahaha is a hidden treasure in Edmond. The menu under the glass on the table is the one to go with. If you like typical Americanized Chinese food, then order off the regular menu. The "real" Chinese food on the table menu is very much in line with Northern Chinese dishes. The beef noodle soup is to die for, complete with homemade noodles. The steamed dumplings are also completely homemade. This is the only place I have had this quality of food and homemade preparation outside of Asia and a few places in LA!

Okay so I have eaten here 2 times. It used to be some type of Mexican place or fast food joint had to be. I asked about the name and the girl told me it has to do with when you eat the food you go waa haha! Lol okay. Now the food. It's okay super oily in my opinion. Nothing to shake a stick at to be honest. Go check out tea garden you will thank me later.

Don't judge this place by it's exterior. Inside it is so cute, quaint and very clean. I had the lemon chicken with steamed rice and an egg roll. It was excellent!

More than a few times, I've driven by Wahaha on the way to somewhere else further along on Broadway. Only now do I realize that failing to stop here sooner was a mistake. Hindsight is great that way. Everyone has heard of "hole-in-the-wall" restaurants which are easy to overlook and tend to be a love it or hate it experience. Real estate in most of Oklahoma is pretty cheap, so sometimes those restaurants end up being full sized. They have "Chinese" and "Authentic Chinese" food. Obviously enough, my eyes went directly to "Authentic Chinese" and never veered away. Some people prefer familiar food or something a little different but not too far out there. This is fine and they can absolutely find something enjoyable on the menu. I appreciate being able to try something out of the ordinary. Quite honestly, I cannot recall the full name of what I had. It was a delightful mix of beef, onions, green onions, and oils which gave me a new dimension of appreciation for onions. The fried rice complemented the main dish quite well. Top that off with an almond boba tea to make for a nearly complete meal of great deliciousness. Yes, I said nearly complete. As the saying goes, save the best food for last. It has been perhaps ten years since one of my favorite Chinese restaurants elsewhere closed down. It broke my food-loving heart, particularly since they made the best hot and sour soup I had ever tasted. Despite years of searching, I found only the palest imitations of watery and flavorless hot and sour soup. When I went to Wahaha, I struck gold and by gold I mean a hot and sour soup which was thick, tangy, and delicious. The words "hot and sour" actually mean something when it is done right. As simple as it may seem, there are few things so delicious to me as a proper bowl of hot and sour soup. This is my kind of restaurant. The atmosphere is calm, the decoration is a bit eccentric, the menu has great variety, and the service is very timely. I will definitely be returning for more. For now, I shall lament the fact that I write this review and recall this meal so late at night that I could not return even on impulse for several hours.

Skip the menu they give you and order only from the paper under the table's glass labeled "real chinese food". the handmade noodles are insane-the real Chinese deal. Also called "dao xiao main", these noodles are hand-sliced, satisfyingly chewy, and served in a delicate broth with greens and sliced beef. Also go for the fried handmade noodles and the dumplings. Don't forget to ask for the special chile oil sauce-it pulls the whole thing together. Wahaha is not for the timid or faint of hard. Sure, ordering is confusing and the place looks a little run down, but the soup is worth it a thousand times over. If Pei Wei is your idea of good Chinese, stay far far away. Also, this place has a new owner, as of this spring. Give it a try!

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Medium rare mango chicken is not acceptable. When a customer confronts a waiter about something like this it is not an opportunity for the cook to prove them wrong.

Skip the menu they give you and order only from the paper under the table's glass labeled "real chinese food". the handmade noodles are insane-the real Chinese deal. Also called "dao xiao main", these noodles are hand-sliced, satisfyingly chewy, and served in a delicate broth with greens and sliced beef. Also go for the fried handmade noodles and the dumplings. Don't forget to ask for the special chile oil sauce-it pulls the whole thing together. Wahaha is not for the timid or faint of hard. Sure, ordering is confusing and the place looks a little run down, but the soup is worth it a thousand times over. If Pei Wei is your idea of good Chinese, stay far far away. Also, this place has a new owner, as of this spring. Give it a try!

I can't speak for the food but every boba tea I've had really hit the spot!
