Food is really good, met expectations and couldn't be happier.....except, I have gone to this restaurant 4 times and twice they didn't open up on time and wouldn't answer the phone. Not sure what's going on, and yes before you ask, it was on a day and time they should have been open. I enjoyed the food enough to give them another chance, but dang, how can you NOT open up on time?! Once could have just been something strange, but twice in a 6 week span shows something is up. read more

Not sure what happened to Chens. New cook?? BAD cook. But we got our first terrible order from them. We ordered lunch at 1 pm. It appears that they used old oil to cook with, so the pork fried rice was extremely BROWN & was definitely not fresh. It had to be more than a day old. The rice was excessively brown, dry and tasted like old grease. The WORST ever from any Chinese restaurant in Lakeland. We tossed it in the trash. My chicken fingers were spared, dont ask me how. The egg rolls were beyond brown. I can't believe they even gave them to us that way. Pictures show this hot mess. I haven't called them yet,because I was too bus,but I will be. Oh & when I called them to order they answered with " Hello". How about say " Hi Chens Wok, can I help you"? Totally disgusted. read more

Nothing has changed. Great food. As authentic as you can get. Service is excellent. Will return for sure. Not a sit down place. Just a huge Chinese kitchen and order counter. If you like Chinese food then you'll want to try this. read more

Good food, pleasant service. As a NYC native this is the closest it can get to NYC Take out

Love the garlic beef and beef and broccoli and their crab ragoons!! Definitely a to go type place though!

Love Chen's wok! Fast service and one of the best Chinese food restaurants in Polk county love their lo mein

I love supporting this family-owned business through my takeout orders. They are always hot, delicious, and plentiful. A real convenience when you don't know what to make for dinner. Friendly folks. read more

Closed until August. I hear the food is good. Wish they had left a message on their answering machine saying they would reopen in August, lol. read more

Small family resturant but food is good! Especially since options for Chinese aren't that very available in this area. Good for pick up food on a week day or when you don't want to cook! read more

Best Chinese I've tried in town! Got my parents to try it and they love it as well! Favorites are special fried rice, chicken lo mein, pan fried dumplings, veggie fried rice is also a hot and all the soups! read more

Food is very tasty and like NY! They get the order together quickly and offer free items if you spend a certain amount.

Visiting some Friends up here in Lakeland and had a taste for Chinese. The recommendation for Chen's Wok came from there family friend. Couldn't find a recent online menu, so ordered on the Fly (Dinner for 6: Chicken Fry Rice, Pan Fried Noodles, Honey Chicken, Chicken Wings and some Boneless BBQ Ribs). We ordered for Pick up and GPS'd over. Restaurant was easy to find and food was ready within 20 mins of calling. Brought back to house and found Order was correct, with no issues. Food was tasty and well portioned. Nothing bad to say here. Good honest tasty Chinese food. I would say buy with confidence. I also posted pics of the menu read more

Great food, friendly people, and they're fast with preparing your food. I've purchased food from here many many times, and I've never had a complaint about the service or the food. read more

Food good. Fast service. Staff friendly. Great location. Would refer friends. Clean store. read more

Went back to try Chen's again. Chicken wings STILL soaking in grease but the main courses are much better. Keep up the good work.

Decent Chinese food here. Not many good Chinese restaurants in Lakeland. After trying 3 other Chinese restaurants I decided to try Chen's. Picked up food after work and brought it home. Combo.... Moo Goo Gai Pan, Eggroll, Fried Rice and Wonton/Egg drop mix soup. Everything was very good except the eggroll. The Moo Goo Gai Pan had plenty of plump pieces of chicken and vegetables in a nice sauce! The rice was good and the wonton Egg drop soup had a nice flavor and the wontons were good as well! The only part of the meal that was not good was the egg roll. It had a funky old musky flavor so I wound up throwing it out. I like egg rolls that are crispy and flavorful. Kinda disappointing. Overall the food was good but go elsewhere for an egg roll. Maybe I just got a bad one and hope this is not the way their egg rolls normally taste. I'll probably go back and try Chen's again! read more

Best Chinese in Lakeland. I'm from the Northeast where good Chinese food is not hard to find but since moving here 7 years ago I've found that isn't necessarily the case here. Always quick and good phone service while placing orders, never had anything wrong and routinely get an added fried item with "free" written on the bag. If you want Chinese on the north side of Lakeland there is nowhere better to go read more

Maybe the best Chinese food i had in a long time . Cream cheese ragoons fire , pepper steak fire , scrimp lo main fire !!!

Great for order and take out! Staff is great to get you exactly what you want! The food portions are excellent for the prices and the taste was excellent! read more

Rarely anything to complain about. So, I'll keep it positive! Food always good and they are typically fast. I just wish they'd take more care in the presentation of their storefront and customer area. read more

Unlike other Chinese restaurants in the area the Fried Rice is make with white rice not yellow rice. The other items are very good every time. read more

asked for teriyaki chicken , and they gave me sweet and sour chicken with teriyaki sauce ‍

This is usually our go-to place for chinese takeout, but unfortunately today will be our last time. While eating the house fried rice, my son took a bite only to pull this piece of metal out of his mouth!!! Absolutely horrified! Never again. read more

Amazing food, they never fail, I love their honey chicken and chicken fried rice! They are always quick and friendly, never had a problem with their food nor service before. read more

great food! everything i've tried always tastes good. Their fried rice is different than any other Chinese i've had here in florida!!

I have been eating Chinese food here at this restaurant for the past four years! The food is consistently delicious, I am consistent with what I order from here which are the fried chicken wings and fried rice and each time it is on point! The family that runs this take out is very friendly and courteous and I enjoy going there however this is a small place for take out only but they do have a couple of chairs if you are so inclined to eat your lunch there. I generally call in my order ahead of time so that when I get there my food is ready for me! So far I have NOt been disappointed! A must try is the beef curry rolls! read more

This place used to be soo good, perhaps it's COVID-19 causing problems. I ordered from there and the sesame chicken had several "chicken" peices that were just breading (not small ones either) and the egg roll tasted like chemicals... Sad to see quality going down like this. read more

This was my first time here and it was wonderful; we will be back! It was take out of course!

Best fast chinese take out on the north side. Lo mein is great. Crab Rangoon is great.

Food is sub par...it takes a bit to get the food..I did have one experience where I ordered the Sesame Chicken and it had a bunch of tiny bones in it. It would be a three star for me but the cleanliness of the restaurant is appalling!! There are kids sleeping on a make shift bed in the waiting area of the restaurant. I've seen rat droppings around the waiting area aswell. I will not we going back, maybe it has changed but my experience soured my opinion on it. read more

Chens is my go to Chinese takeout in the area. When friends are over and we decide to do takeout I always Chens and no one has complained yet. Great customer service and they have implemented great covid-19 precautions. Instead of walking inside staff os behind plexiglass and you just order there and wait outside (Ive never had to wait to long. I recommend calling ahead and ordering that way). Safe and convenient. read more

It's a hit and miss sometimes at Chen Wok. I had stop going for about 3 months because i was getting more misses than hits. I had a craving and tried them again and everything was great this time. read more

I have no idea why the restaurant is listed as closed because I ate there last week. One of the trends we've recently seen in Lakeland is the opening of all sorts of Chinese take out restaurants in strip plazas. Chen's Wok is a true gem amongst these new take out restaurants. All the food is prepared fresh and in front of you. I'll be frank, this place has no atmosphere, and while you can dine at the restaurant, I suggest you dine at home. Honestly, I haven't found anything I do not like at this restaurant. One of my favorite meals is the pepper steak with onion special combination. The meal includes pepper steak, pork fried rice, and an egg roll for under $7.00. The meat was tender while the sauce had the perfect consistency (not runny or too thick), the veggies fresh and crisp, the rice was neither sticky nor granular, and finally the egg roll was crunchy. I've sampled most menu items with my family and everything is a safe bet. For those of you who've lived in Lakeland for a long time, the food is very reminiscent of China Jade at the Shoppes of Lakeland Plaza that closed over 13 years ago (before the new management). The value and quality of the food cannot be beat. The staff is friendly and the orders are always prepared in a timely manner. read more

When it comes to Chinese takeout I can be a bit particular. I would say that overall Chen's Wok is a decent Chinese take out place in the area. I personally think that the sesame chicken is a bit too sweet sometimes. However the wonton soup is excellent. I would go here again-especially for the wonton soup! read more

Had a pork fried rice craving and called in my order. Any order of Chinese food must be accompanied by egg rolls. The young lady said it would take 20 minutes during my call. Arrived and my order was ready for pick up. The condiments are out on the counter for you peruse (I like to drown my rice in soy sauce). Figured I'd make up for the duck sauce I wouldn't use for my egg rolls, by way of soy sauce. The container for my "Small" rice was packed. A couple of drops of oil dripped from my egg rolls when I handled them. I wouldn't expect anything else, as they were fried IN oil. I would definitely go back to this restaurant again and recommend it to anyone. read more

I chose this place based on its yelp 5 star rating. I would down grade the rating to 3 at most. I'm visiting from put if town and ordered take out. The person who took my order was helpful & friendly. My food was ready when promised. The ambience was like a deserted hospital waiting room. My rating is solely due to the food. First, it does taste fresh. The spring rolls were deep fried which was a 1st and filled with mushrooms. This appetizer was heavier then expected. The rice wasn't fluffy. The Chk Cashew was flavorful and the spicy peas were fine. Overall, this place was average. Not horrible, just OK. read more

Great Chinese food and good speedy service. I love the fact that you can order over the phone and they get thethe order right!

We had Chens Wok this afternoon for the first time and I was very happy with our order, we got 2 lunch specials to share and we could not believe how much we got for each order. The Bourbon Chicken was very flavorful and the veggies were very tender and we also had their Pork LoMein which was just soooo good and we have enough food left over for at least 3 more meals. We're definitely going to be ordering again soon, thank you so much for making awesome food! read more
