Tommy's Wok is a small, out-of-the-way place tucked inside the Redwood Court with all the charm of Carmel.   Szechuan, Hunan and Mandarin cuisine is served fresh and natural.    Everything on the menu is homemade - no worry here about MSG and other artificial ingredients!  Tommy Mao (Chef) and sisters, Van and Joanne, have had two other successful restaurant ventures in Sausalito and Oakhurst. Tasting is believing at Tommy's Wok!

"The cashew prawns... loaded with large prawns that are sauteed with precision-cut chunks of zucchini, small diced celery, water chestnuts and green onions, ...was perfectly complemented by a clean, flavorful brown sauce,

 and accompanied by both jasmine fried rice and soft noodles.   With a cup of zesty hot and sour soup, this is a lunch that's more than ample for appetites with gusto and an incredible bargain...Order the potstickers, and you'll immediately understand the difference between the ubiquitous frozen variety and the real ones, like these.  Dim sum lovers will have lots of fun with the lunch menu."

"This is one of those charming little restaurants in which Carmel specializes, but it is a bit more hidden away than the average.  Tommy Mao --chef-owner of Tommy's Wok-- perceived the local hunger for "something a little bit different" and has worked to fill the niche."    Sanford Frederick, Adventures in Dining, Spring 2000
