One Saturday afternoon, I took my mother to lunch at Amazing Wok. The restaurant was nearly empty, although a few people who were picking up to-go orders came and went. It's a small establishment, but very comfortable. The server greeted us right away. After ordering, the food came out in record time. Love that. My mother ordered the shrimp fried rice. It was a nice portion, but she wasn't overly excited about it. She orders it whenever we're having Asian cuisine, but this is one she'd pass on next time. Partially because of the shrimp size. Partially because of the overall appeal. I thought it was fine though. However, we both agreed that the General Chicken was near perfection. She ate plenty of mine, which was fine because there was more than enough. A few broccoli florets would've been the cherry on top, but it was still a tasty dish. Also, the prices were refreshingly gentle on the wallet. It was appetizing lunch in Ballantyne that didn't require a loan. I'll surely return in the future. read more

Our first experience with Amazing Wok was with our neighbors, whose daughter lived nearby and recommended it. We ordered through the daughter and she picked up the order and brought it south. It was lukewarm and OK. We were intrigued, so ordered a take out and that also was OK. Menu has just about anything Amercians would want or at least know about. Look at the menu on Yelp! or on their web page. When I went in to pick up our order the phone was constantly ringing and a regular flow of people streamed in and out of the parking lot. The are busy. Next experience, we decided to dine in, as there is seating, but not a lot of seats. Table service went well, but the take-away rules, so there is a wait to get your particular meals ready for serving. I did like their combination Won Ton and Egg Drop soup. The best of both worlds to me. This time we had separate orders of Won ton soup ($4.50) and Egg Drop soup ($4.50). They both were just fine. Wife had Sa Cha Beef ($14.95), beef and vegetables in a mild brown gravy. She said it was OK. I had their Triple Delight ($20.95), which was three meats with vegetables and to me it was relatively tasteless. We like the Triples at Great Wall South much better. That dine-in meal was our last one for Amazing Wok. It was not bad, just was not to our taste. It is also a distance from Indian Land and remember that take-away is their main thrust, so if we are in the area or have the need for take-away, we would consider Amazing Wok. read more

Food is AMAZING! Only 1 issue though. When we arrived, we were here 1 hour before it closed, and they ran out of the dishes. They still had the coxinhas, Pão de Queijo, Pastel, and Hamburgers on the other hand. read more

Love the service and the food. I have been going here for years and the food never let me down.

Such a great little spot! The atmosphere is sort of old and dreary but the food is nothing short from amazing! We got the pepper chicken spicy & the orange chicken. Loved it all and will be back. read more

Excellent service and the portions are fantastic. I'm a huge fan of their steamed options, but their wonton soup and crab. Rangoon's are fantastic as well. Pricing is totally average and you certainly get or at least I do, at least 3 to 4 meals out of one order. Big fan! read more

Variety of food, clean place and good customer service. Excellent food a nice place to dine inn. And family ambiance.

This is my go to fast Chinese restaurant, I wish it was closer to me! I order from this place at least once a week on uber eats! My go-to is the chicken and broccoli, it's consistently good! I usually order their house lo mein (without water chestnuts and baby corn), and that always hits the spot. For this week's order I just got chicken and broccoli (pictured below) with 2 egg rolls! Everything was so good and tasted fresh! About a month or two ago I ordered some broccoli and brown sauce on uber eats, they forgot to put the brown sauce on the broccoli so I called, they took my information down and told me that I can come by to get a free broccoli and brown sauce whenever I could which wasn't a problem for me because I eat here so often! So great great service! And inside is very cozy, a little step up from your normal fast Chinese places, and again, the food is GOOD! read more

Super nice people and excellent food. My mother-in-law loves egg drop soup and it's hard to find except at normal mom pop places. Amazing. Wok has fantastic eyedrop soup. She is always pleased when I bring it to her. Their hot and sour soup is equally good. I ordered the twice cooked pork and it was one of the best I've eaten, definitely the best in a long time. Highly recommend. read more

Hands down the best Chinese food in Charlotte! I've been coming here for years for lunch and dinner, and they always have great service and portions at a great price. They are a staple in the community. read more

Delicious, slightly different seasoning makes the same type of food feel new.. the chicken skewers and egg foo young are the beez knees

I have been coming to Amazing Wok since 2011. I recently moved back down to the area and was so excited to have the best Chinese food back in my backyard! My boyfriend and I were very excited to be able to dine in after the Covid restrictions were lifted! I used to love dining in their restaurant. It is so cozy and clean! I was excited to finally share the experience with him. The staff is fantastic, very sweet, and make you feel like family. I always get the beef chow fun, and I want an egg drop soup. If you're feeling crazy you need to get the steamed dumplings! The filling is fantastic!! read more

Food was mediocre, I would give the food 3/5. The service was poor. I ordered and paid online, when I got to the restaurant an hour later they didn't even receive my order. Maybe it was just a technical issue but the staff was unphazed. At the end of the day, my experience was subpar food with unprofessional service. Will not be going to this place again. Name should be changed from "amazing wok" to "mediocre wok". read more

So yummy - love their food. Consistently great. Quick service. My family always wants to go here when they are in town.

This has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for years! I have tried other places but nothing beats Amazing Wok! The sesame chicken with white rice is my go to every time! I will always support this business! read more

Food is delicious and great service! We love the sweet and sour chicken and general chicken.

The absolute worst food!!! Over priced too. I don't mind paying for good food! Please don't waste your time or money. It's not freshly made. Very bland. Chicken wings taste and look like they've been sitting under warmer. Shrimp fried rice tastes like everything's out a freezer bag. It's not worth it at all. Unbelievably disgusting! So disappointed read more

Do not get their chicken lettuce wraps. its just small bits of over fried chicken. there are no veggies or water chestnuts - nothing healthy about this dish. read more

Excellent service and the food is always exactly what I ordered! I would recommend this restaurant always! A plus!

I have never eaten inside, but I carry out and DoorDash quite often. My "go twos " are the Kung pow chicken and Singapore noodles. Both are reasonably consistently good but on occasion are dry or short of spice. read more

Holy Price Gouging!!!! 2 soups and rice for $45!! I know times are hard but, this is ridiculous that they are over charging costumers like this. Not to mention their food is barely average. Only stoped here bc it was in route, but will never be back. Tian Tian up the street has sooooo much better authentic Chinese, food, and the prices they charge are fair and reasonable. Do yourself a favor skip the not so amazing wok and make the drive to Tian Tian! Better food, better service, better quality, better price. read more

May be the worse Chinese food I've ever had. Chicken wings were over cooked and dry to the bone. Sesame chicken looked like a 6 piece from McDonald's but McDs is be far better. Fried rice was terrible. Really hard with a lot of frozen vegetables. I'll spare you my thoughts on the lobster sauce. Would I ever go back? Never ever ever ever. I threw out most of my food. It was sooooooooo bad. read more

Great place always get takeout and food is hot and quick. I have been going for over 15 years

Service is awful. Ordered online.. waited and hour and order still not ready. Canceled and went to somewhere else. Forget this place

Did they change owners? We have been ordering from here for years, but tonight we're soooo disappointed :( the dumplings are different, more like gyoza. Not horrible but not what I expected. The egg rolls had virtually nothing in them, didn't taste like anything. Shrimps were so tiny, sesame chicken was simply not good. Everything lacked the quality and taste we're used to. Usually the food is so delicious and flavorful :( sadness has fallen over our home :( read more

Just moved abd this was the closest takeout Chinese place with more than 3 stars. They are taking lots of COVID precautions but you still have to use their one own to sign a receipt. The portions were huge and the veggies nice, bright, and crisp and it was pretty tasty. We will order from there again. They have delivery through postmates and door dash also. read more

They have a fly problem there were several in my fried rice. I wouldn't eat here until they get pest control. read more

Still no change your average place. Hot and spicy beef was good though. Portions are massive when you sit down.

Not only does the food taste awful but this place is so overpriced it's a crime. So many better places exist just in this immediate area that it amazes me this place is still around. We ordered dinner here to go and when we got out to the car we opened up the bag for a snack home and from the door to the car the pan fried dumplings tasted as if they had been sitting on ice. read more

This place used to be great. Food is just ok. Used to be great. Sub-par service and Ingredients. Prices have skyrocketed but quality has gone way down. Do not mind price increases for the same quality given the economy but they have really messed up their model. They may stay in business, but it will be for with people that don't really care about the quality of the food. And at some point people quit wanting to pay the prices. They're not friendly at all when you go in anymore. read more

I occasionally eat in sometimes order out for at least 12 years now. I was in this evening and asked for a water with no ice like always. She brought me a bottled water. I told her I wanted regular water with a straw. She responded that she's alone in the dining room and can't get refill waters. At the time I was the only one in there. I told her to take the bottle back it's OK not because I'm cheap but It's just principle. 2 couples show up while I'm eating and when I leave to pay what do you know they all have an ice water in front of them. I hope it was worth the dollar they will never see me in there again read more

Unfortunately after trying for the second time food was even worse, my sweet and sour chicken was burnt and extremely dry. Sad to say I won't be back. It's too much work to order food from a place when you don't feel like cooking that night just to get home and discover 90% of your food is not edible. read more

Our order of kung pao chicken was clearly not freshly prepared. Soggy, greasy, even the celery was mushy. Went into the trash. Fried rice was tasteless. Overpriced, bad food. Will not return. read more

Never had even heard of this take out place, It was a Door Dash Delivery which came very quickly. Had a large expensive Order 1. Pan Fried Dumplings 2. 2 Orders Crab Rangoon 3. Fantasy Shrimp 4. Generals Chicken Fried Rice with all the dinners First off there was no sauces or condiments with any of the appetizers. No Napkins or Silverware. The Pan Fried Dumplings were NOT good. in fact they tasted off~ like something was wrong with the meat. and they were fat like small meatballs. The Crab Rangoon was not as pictured, they were triangle shaped items with cream cheese. The Generals Chicken which my husband gets everywhere, was just unseasoned fried pieces of chicken with no spicy sauce at all. The Fantasy Shrimp was the highlight of the order. They were large good fresh tasting shrimp with a small amount of sauce on them and some walnuts . sitting on a bed of steamed broccoli. They were actually the best thing about the order. The rice served was very bland and not too tasty. I just would just say. read what I wrote. We do order Chinese from a lot of places, We just happened to be at a different house, out of our normal area last night. read more

Had a craving for Chinese and based on other reviews I thought I'd give it a try. I almost went somewhere else thinking this place wasn't open - the windows are mirrored and the Open sign was there but it was a sunny day so i couldn't tell it was lit... So I waited and to my relief someone walked out with a bag of food. Ordered a bunch of take out and it was ready very quick. $35 for 3 meals, soup and 2 egg rolls. All the dishes are exactly as I come to expect from an (American) Chinese joint. Ample parking; the place wasn't crowded at all for a Friday evening. I will be back for more! read more

Great Chinese food - the shrimp with garlic sauce is a perennial favorite of mine. I have never had a bad meal here, whether it was dine-in, carry out or even Door Dash delivery (probably the fastest DD delivery I've ever had - food was still hot!) read more

I visited this establishment for the first time. Due to Covid they are strictly takeout only. They have contactless money and food exchange VIA of a basket bin in the door. Our lunch order was sesame chicken and one teriyaki chicken both came with a choice of spring rolls. I had the veggie my daughter had the spring. The spring roll had shrimp in it. We both ate our rolls without sauce and enjoyed them very much. My daughter typically doesn't eat rolls so I was surprised at how she went on an on about how good hers was. Both of our meals were cooked to order and were fresh. They teriyaki came on skewers which made it easy to snack and drive. I found the service to be great. The people smiled and updated me on the cooking time of my order. We will definitely visit again if in the area. read more

Just ordered from them last night. I got kung pao chicken that was bland, undercooked, and rubbery. I called today to request a refund and they told me they "don't do refunds" if it's been the next day. She also said "order at your own discretion." Will never eat here again, did it on a whim and regret it immensely. Stay away from this place! read more

Late night Christmas meal! I'm glad they are still open on Christmas night and this is awesome! I got the beef with garlic sauce and black pepper chicken. The beef is garlic sauce is the best! The flavor is just right and little spicy kicker. I put some hot sauce on top of it, and I just love the spicy and sweet flavor of the beef! Highly recommend people to try them out! read more
