    Don't waste your time or money at least on take-out. Perhaps the food is better in person, but I highly doubt it.

    China Tastes - When something looks too good to be true, it probably isn't.

    Sometimes restaurant reviews can be deceiving, especially when you see a review with no photo of…read morethe reviewer and with very few reviews done by that person. I went to this restaurant because of one review that said: Best Chinese Food in Roanoke and many other good reviews from reviewers with no photos of themselves and with very few reviews done. And wow was I disappointed. First of all the location of the restaurant is not in a nice area. But that is no problem because sometimes you can find restaurants with great food in not so nice areas. The interior of the restaurant looked presentable with booths with table cloths and a mini Chinese Market next to the cashier counter. The menu looked fantastic, even with Hibachi. The lady who greeted me and took my order was very nice and friendly. The food was served in real plates with real silverware not plastic ones, and was brought to my booth by the lady who took my order at the counter. The place was clean. I ordered the Four Triple Combination, which had shrimps, scallops, beef and chicken. And came with Fried Rice. The dish looked very good when it came out. In fact too good to be true. When I started eating it I first noticed that the sauce was not cooked well enough with the food items, the chicken was tasteless, the beef was tough, the shrimps and scallops were better but very few, and the broccoli were frozen broccoli and many were still cold in the dish. Then when I went to taste the Fried Rice that looked so good, it had a horrible taste. Like if the wok where they cooked it had been washed with dish soap but not rinsed well enough. That really got me. I stopped eating and left the restaurant. It was the worst Chinese Restaurant that I have ever eaten at. What a bad sensation. I hope you learned something from this review like I have, and though I don't like to write bad reviews, I feel obligated to do so because I don't want any others to go through the horrible dining experience that I went through at this restaurant.

    Great takeout, large portions and super flavorful. Prices were also excellent…read more The Mongolian beef, orange chicken, wonton soup, and dumplings were excellent. The pork with veg, Chinese veg, and spring rolls were good. Would definitely order all of it again. Only thing we weren't wowed by was the side of fried rice.

    China Wok is one of those restaurants you can always count on for fresh, genuine, high-quality,…read moreChinese food at reasonable prices. Its staff is always very welcoming, pleasant, and courteous. Since we're currently experiencing days of rainy weather, I decided to make a takeout order to dine in the convenience of my home because the clouds outside were turning dark. I arrived at the restaurant in my pearl white Lexus and was lucky to find some empty parking spaces in their small but very convenient parking lot, since most of their business is takeout. The restaurant manager greeted me at the counter and graciously allowed me to go over the menu until I found what I wanted. Their menu had been upgraded since the last time I was there and now is printed in glossy paper with a few colorful photographs to give it that distinguish look so rare to find in many Chinese restaurants of this nature. I ordered from the Pork section of the menu their Roast Pork with Broccoli. It came with Plain Fried Rice. And I also ordered two Roast Pork Egg Rolls to have as appetizer. I paid with my Google Pay and received my receipt which was in both English and Chinese. While I was waiting I observed how well organized and efficient the cooks and the entire staff worked together as a team. I invite you to view my photographs and video accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the high-quality of their food. At home I later enjoyed eating the delicious food. The Roast Pork Egg Rolls were so soft and tasty in the inside, and crunchy on the outside. The Roast Pork and fresh Broccoli tasted wonderfully delicious. And even the Plain Fried Rice perfectly cooked did a great job complimenting the meal. I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant especially for takeout food or for those times when you feel like dining in and don't have too much time to spare.

    Good food and quick service. The egg-drop spice was very rich and hearty. Great value for the…read moremoney
