We are so happy we found this place. We've been searching for a good local Chinese spot for a long time and this is it! We ordered the Szechuan beef and vegetable chow mein. Both were delicious, but I particularly enjoyed the vegetable chow mein. The vegetables were plentiful and fresh. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was pleasant. We will definitely be back. read more

I've been dying for a decent American style chinese place in the neighborhood since Sun Hai Inn closed on Los Feliz during the pandemic, but finally this place has stepped in. It's just as good and probably a little better, although a bit pricier too. I ordered the sweet and sour pork and the chow mein and both were exactly what I wanted from my local Chinese spot. The spicy wontons weren't bad, bonus points for using actual sezchuan peppercorns. You will feel the numbing. Welcome to the neighborhood California Wok, damn glad to have you. read more

Not only does the food taste amazing, this little mom n pop shop has the best customer service. They are truly worth every penny! We can't wait to come back! read more

Very bad customer service I had to wait 20 minutes for employee to approach me to inform me to be able to place an order and then after that, he approached me and he says it's gonna take a long time for me to get your lunch read more

For the love of duck! I can't believe what I just found! It's like a hidden gem! So, you know how we always had to drive all the way to Alhambra just to get our hands on our favorite Chinese food? Well, guess what? I stumbled upon this place on Yelp, ! I've been around this complex for ages, but I never even noticed it. But now, I'm telling you, it's a must-try! The star of the show - their fried duck! It's absolutely yummers! I know it might be a bit hesitant to try the place because it's quiet, doesn't look engaging to come in but it's worth it. They've got some really tasty options too. Parking is a lot, we just call them and pick up the food, so eating there vibe I cannot share a lot. oh well, my fellow Glendale peeps, I highly recommend checking out this place. It's a hidden gem that you won't want to miss. read more

The Yelp app made it easy to schedule and pay for a takeout meal. It was ready upon arrival and still warm when I got home--you could tell it was made fresh! My boyfriend raved about the sweet and sour pork having the right balance of meat to pineapple and veggies. The spicy orange chicken was enough for me for dinner and lunch the next day, just wish it was a pinch spicier! read more

I've been going to this restaurant now for several months for dine in and pick up. Top notch Chinese food always fresh high-quality, reasonable prices friendly staff. It is exciting to have a good Chinese restaurant in Glendale again, that does not charge an arm and a leg. A "massive menu with diverse categories" that allows customers to find high-quality options regardless of choice is often associated with establishments that have perfected the art of variety which generous portions. read more

Finally a legit Chinese restaurant in Glendale! Huge menu, fresh ingredients, great service! Had the steamed chicken dumplings, vegetable tofu soup, orange chicken, and walnut shrimp. Amazingly, that qualified us to get a special house lobster for only $6.99! All of the food was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and made with high quality ingredients. The dining room is clean, there's plenty of free parking, and a kiosk at the for if you want to only order for takeout. Will be back! read more

Their food was really good. I have had their food twice. I think my favorite item was their won ton soup. The waitress was so nice and helpful. She was suggested really great dishes. It's a really great places just to sit down and have a good and relaxing meal. I would come back again. read more

First time here. Got their menu in the mail and looked pretty good. Service is good. Food was yum. Ambiance is nice too. Small cute place. One down side, we asked for hot water with lemon and it was tasted literally from the tap Would come back and try other items. Looking forward to the pork chops. read more

A nice random spot that I was so surprised in how good it was. Mostly as it looks like from the outside a Panda Express, but that is in NO WAY the way you are treated. The Service is AMAZING! Mary was the manager that night and it was close to closing but they were so polite and helpful. We ordered a few things and it came out fast and hot. They checked on us and one of the items she noticed we were really not getting into and she just said... I don't think it was made that well let me make you a new one. And new one was so much better. I recommend this place as a quick sit down and will read about the delivery below. I don't come up this way much but when I'm in the area I will stop here for food. read more

Total deliciousness. My "go-to" for Chinese food delivery. They always get the order correct and it always arrives nice and hot. Really nice attention to detail with quality ingredients. read more

Amazing delivery service; fast, food always hot and neatly packaged. Each item that we have ordered has been excellent and very "clean". We have been ordering from them for nearly ten years and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended! read more

The server, Noi, was very attentive and recommended the different soups with the daily lunch specials. The lunch specials are plentiful and many different entrees. You choose between white, brown or fried rice. We both ordered the fried rice. They give you two huge scoops that are very delicious!!! I had egg drop soup that was very tasty!!! I ordered the chicken with mixed vegetables which was a great way to get my vegetables for the day!!! The chicken was tender and very delicious!!! It was not too salty. My sister ordered hot and sour soup and chow mein and really enjoyed all of it!!! I am so very glad that Noi recommended the soups as they were very delectable!!! She was very friendly and told us to take our time. I also ordered some dim sum: pork steamed baos to take home. My husband ate some and really enjoyed eating this dim sum. There all kinds of dim sum on the menu as well. They also have wonderful sweetened teas with boba. You also pick out your percentage of sweetness for the various fruit teas. My sister and I chose 50% which was perfect but not too sweet. I had a strawberry iced tea with boba and bits of actual strawberries in the drink. Yum!!! The ambiance was lovely as each table had table cloth. You could choose between chairs or chairs and a booth. Our server, Noi, also asked us to please sit at a table of our choosing and then took our lunch orders. The lunch specials are 11 am to 4 pm every day which is amazing as some Chinese Restaurants only have lunch specials Monday through Friday. She also packed our leftovers as they are very generous with the servings of Chinese food!!!!! This is well worth a visit and you really get an awesome amount of food and terrific service!!! My sister and I will return. You really should give this restaurant a try. There are so many lunch Chinese entrees and even dim sum to order. I have had dim sum since I was 5 years old. I even know how to order dim sum in Chinese. For many, this is closer than Chinatown in DTLA. You also will save on gas and avoid quite a bit of traffic during the week if you go to this Glendale California Wok. I highly recommend this Chinese Restaurant, and I don't know why it was a Saturday afternoon and my sister and I were the only ones in the restaurant!!! Support a small business. The ambiance also had some Chinese touches. It is the Chinese Lunar New Year: the Horse. You can say "Gung Hay Fat Choy" which means Happy New Year!!! The Chinese Lunar New Year of the Horse began February 17, 2026. Ask for Noi as your server. She was very courteous and brought out our hot and fresh Chinese food very quickly. Definitely give this Chinese Restaurant a try!!!!! read more

Ordered take out- fish filet with black bean sauce and chow mein with chicken, beef and shrimp. The fish filet was really good. Sauce was light, onions and peppers firm. Fish was tender and well seasoned. Chow mein noodles a bit over done for us. Shrimp was a bit scarce but not too bad. Was hoping for the noodles to not be so dry. Would I order here again? Yes of course. I would definitely give California Wok another try. Probably would not order chow mein next time around, but definitely order fish filet and give other dishes a try. read more

A nondescript Chinese restaurant, but they have a good selection of dishes at good prices. Ordered several dishes for takeout. Great service, accurate order, ready on time, and the food was delicious. Main reason for ordering from California Wok is that they have hot and sour soup on the menu, as well as dim sum. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick n easy Chinese spot in Glendale. read more

The corn was overly buttered and tasted stale. The wonton soup had an off flavor that made eating it feel like a mistake. The chow mein was passable but lacked depth of flavor. Overall, the foods flavor and quality seemed prepared without care or passion for the person eating it. Disappointing. I would say this is bland, flavorless, and low quality. Not good Chinese food- wouldn't recommend it to anyone even if you are hungry and it's close by. No duck sauce either only sweet and sour. read more

I would give this restaurant six star if I could. There was a plethora of different dishes and drinks. The food came hot and quickly. I really enjoyed the experience. I can recommend the chicken wings, egg rolls, noodle dishes and fried rice wonderful experience I will be back. read more

California Wok - A lot of wonderful dishes - Chinese Near Me - Glendale, California

Glendale has been needing an authentic Chinese restaurant for many years and now with California Wok, we finally have one! We came in for dinner and we tried the honey walnut nut shrimp, chicken pan fried crispy noodles, crispy fried pork chops, and the house special lobster! All the dishes we ordered were delicious and portions were perfect sizes for family style sharing. The price point was very affordable and also the service was great! Right now they have a special when you spend $49 the house special lobster is only $6.99, what a deal!! They also have lunch specials, we'll have to give that a try next time! Come give the restaurant a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Still a work in progress. Quality ingredients, but far too bland and too sweet. If they can fix that it has the potential to be very good. If not it's a mediocre American-Chinese place in a very crowded market segment. Got the House Special Lobster, among several other dishes. Should have gotten the ginger scallion prop instead. The kung pao had zero spice, the mapo tofu had very little, the Mongolian beef was mediocre, the black mushrooms and baby bok choy had the wrong sauce. read more

Great flavors & huge portion sizes. Will be adding this spot to my regular take out rotation!

Is very nice restaurant. Food is good for our family. And the lobster is delicious The boss also very nice. my son get ice cream from him. read more

It's been here about a year , last week was the first time we stopped , on the home ? Its a bit pricey, but for the quality of the food it's was worth it , We are going to place our Super Bowl food order with the California wok for this Sunday read more

Placed a decent size order on Christmas Eve around 530 PM, after waiting well over an hour the order was cancelled. They turned their phones off and told the Postmates driver they couldn't complete the order lol. Extremely disappointing and just BAD business. read more

My wife and I used to eat at a California Wok restaurant across Beverly Center in the corner of Beverly Drive and La Cienega Blvd. It was one of our favorite restaurant. Simple but the food was delicious. Anyway, we found this place (branch?) in Glendale and the food was also very tasty. We will surely order again. I also checked out the pics on Yelp and the place looks great - we might visit them one day. read more

It was great twice, but the last order was awful. They didn't send what we ordered even though the correct receipt was stapled to the bag. Since they told us to keep it we tried it and it was awful. The chicken was undercooked and the broccoli had a slime all over it. The noodles and wonton in the soup were soggy. read more

The food is authentic tasting and I would imagine that's a high point for any restaurant especially a Chinese restaurant in Glendale. The place is nestled in a strip mall and parking can be a little tight, but there is more parking right next to the place. The waiter was helpful and attentive, and service was good. The place is not that big but spacious enough for 40+. The restaurant has been open for 6 months and still has that new place shine. For someone who gets his Chinese food in Monterey Park/Alhambra/Hacienda Hts/Chinatown, this place was a nice surprise. Pricing is a bit high but fair for fresh ingredients and authentic tasting Chinese food in a city that doesn't really have that many Chinese restaurants. I took my mom, who's 84 and she thought the flavor was good. That's gotta be worth something. read more

Excellent customer service and clean restaurant. Mary provided excellent service and it showed how she loved working in this restaurant and cares about the customers. The food tastes great and plentiful. They look like they are prepared well and in a clean manner. They check on how you are doing every now and then and then refill your drinks too. read more

I was recommended by a friend and I couldn't be more grateful. The lunch special, Mongolian beef was amazing and service was great. Clean and nice restaurant. NowI have a new favorite place. Can't wait to come back. read more

A hidden gem for sure! Don't be fooled by the ordinary outside appearance. The chef is extraordinary, food is excellent and service by Soul was superb!!! Vegetable eggs rolls made perfect. Sweet and sour shrimp was yummy as was the Walnut Shrimp! Highly recommend! read more

I have been coming here for years. My family loves it. The food is very flavorful and the staff is always very kind and welcoming.

Shrimp, Chicken and vegetable soup was okay - the broth is lacking in flavor. I spotted 1 shrimp and 3 pieces of chicken. Ordered chicken wonton - all oddly shaped and not crispy, still greasy - they weren't properly drained and we ordered 30 pieces. Combination fried rice is just okay. Lemon chicken also greasy, thinly sliced with thick breading. Basically, don't order anything deep fried. What a disappointment. How do you mess up wontons like that? read more

I went here for their lunch specials and it was delicious! I could literally count the amount of Chinese food spots in Glendale in one hand and I can say that this restaurant is one of the best ones. Portions and the service were great! Servers were attentive and the flavors really hit the spot with my Chinese food craving. Now I don't have to drive down to Chinatown when we have a good one here in the area. Another thing to note is that the place is super clean. Definitely coming back to try their other dishes!! read more

Sadly, I can't give this place more than ... I ordered sweet cream cheese wonton, veggie dumplings, orange chicken and a Thai tea for delivery. Delivery service was through GrubHub and was pretty quick. About 30 minutes which was great. Everything was packaged nicely and included utensils and napkins as I requested. The sweet cream cheese wontons were very good; more of a dessert item than an appetizer in my opinion. Both the chicken and dumplings were over done. The chicken, which was cut into thin strips was stringy, dry and tough to chew. I found a few thicker pieces and they were better but over all disappointing. The dumplings were run of the mill, standard veggie egg roll filling like you find in the frozen section of the grocery store. Nothing to get excited over. The Thai tea was delicious. I really wanted to like this place, but with two of the three main items not good I just can't Sorry there are no photos; my power is out and nothing looked good with a flash. read more
