SLP Asian Bistro Gets Kudos from The Heavy Table

Wok in the Park was recently reviewed by the Twin Cities publication, who praised it as a very kid-friendly location.

St. Louis Park's very own Wok in the Park got some attention by way of The Heavy Table this week, who reviewed the Asian bistro as a very kid-friendly restaurant. The main thrust of the piece is how kid-friendly Wok in the Park is, with reviewer Tricia Cornell noting the SLP restaurant is a fantastic place to get picky, young eaters to try some new foods: So, take the kids?
