Stopped by here twice and each time didn't disappoint. During our first visit we met a local from Manteca who has been coming here for a few years and highly recommend this spot. Service here is super friendly and food portions are very generous, they fill the containers to the top. Overall, good spot for Chinese food. read more

China Wok Express - Price - Chinese Near Me - Lathrop, California

If you're looking for quick and convenient Chinese takeout, China Walk Express gets the job done. It's a family-run spot, and it's nice seeing the kids helping out or doing homework while working the counter--it adds a personal touch and you can usually count on fast service. The food is okay. My usual order is rice, chow mein, fried fish, and sweet-and-sour chicken--all solid for a quick meal. I wouldn't recommend the honey walnut prawns though. We ordered it once for catering, and no one touched it. It's just deep-fried shrimp with a light drizzle of sauce--not worth it in my opinion. Overall, it's not a place I'd go for high-quality Chinese food, but if you need something fast, simple, and filling, it's a reliable local option. read more

This is a hot plate to go location, right off of I five and Louise in a strip mall. Since we're trying all the Chinese and Mexican food, restaurants in the area, this was next on the list. It was cold and raining so we decided to order 2 3-item combos. The place is crazy cheap and the portions are insane. We had so much food that we had it for lunch and dinner, lunch again the next day and still had a lot left over that we could eat. Next time I'm ordering only one three item combo for the three of us. At less than 12 bucks for the three item combo of piled food, this is the definition of cheap eats. This is American Chinese food and well seasoned. The fried fish is over breaded, will avoid that again. i'd give it 2 1/2 stars for the food and bump it up to three stars because Service is great. Girl at the counter was extremely pleasant and helpful. read more

China Wok Express - Nasty and extremely dry. Not an ounce of veggies even though it says veggie chow mein. - Chinese Near Me - Lathrop, California

Well the food is ok for a really cheap Chinese place. The rice was a bit dry and there were chewy pieces in it. The orange chicken has to much breading but still has good flavor. The honey walnut shrimp is the same. If you want to spend a little extra try Panda Express instead. read more

Been going here for years. The food is relatively affordable and good. At times, there's a wait but it's worth it. Their sweet and sour chicken is great. Workers are super nice! However, this place is more of a takeout place than a sit down restaurant. There are a couple tables in the little plaza but otherwise, better to eat at home! read more

We had a small last minute surprise XV for my niece who loves Chinese food and China Wok saved the day! The staff were extremely friendly and generous, food was delicious as always, well portioned, perfect temperature and on time as planned! Once again Thank you for everything, this night was perfect! read more

HUGE portions. Fast service. Affordable prices. There's not much more you can ask for when it comes to Chinese takeout. The sweet and sour chicken is great and I always choose chow mien. There are a few tables inside and sometimes the bathroom is out of order, but most people don't come here to sit and eat. I've been getting takeout here for almost 10 years and the quality has never dipped. read more

The food did not taste fresh and when I arrived their wasn't much selection of food. But they were nice, I just wouldn't go there again.

Love this place truly hole in the wall place....service is awesome lady is great Hugh portions fresh food...fried fish is a must try love the chow mien highly recommend this place and price is great for portions of food read more

One of the best hole in the walls spot for Chinese in lathrop. Customer service was great. Offered variations of food in order to accommodate a certain diet. Food came out hit and tasty. They filled up their combo plates with a ton of food. So worth the value since the prices are lower than expected. Definitely was great overall and I strongly recommend read more

Food is 100% every time with generous portions. The salt and pepper fish is my FAVORITE. Crispy breading, cooked all the way through and it's has just a little bit of heat since it's tossed with jalapeno slices Service is top notch! I get the same young lady every time and she is fantastic. read more

China Wok Express - Chinese Near Me - Lathrop, California

This place is located in the plaza where Save-Mart is and is right next door to Starbucks. The place is a bit dreary with the old fashioned menu board. I came here to pick up the party trays that I ordered ahead of time. They just opened so there's food coming out fresh from the kitchen to start their busy day. There were already a few customers inside waiting to get served and at the time the lady who runs the front was already busy. I finally got my party tray orders of Walnut Shrimp and Beef Broccoli. They came out hot and fresh and full to the brim. I like that their servings was very generous. Walnut Shrimp wasn't drenched in it's sweet sauce so it was not overwhelmingly sweet when you're eating it. It has the crunch and the sauce balances it enough. The batter though can be a bit on a thicker side so it kind of hard to tell where the actual shrimp pieces are. There were no walnuts in this dish, it's mainly shrimp and sauce only. Beef Broccoli was also flavorful and the sauce was somewhat sweet with a bit of saltiness in them. It has a lot of big broccoli pieces that were cooked just right with it's crispiness still there as you bit and chew every piece. I also loved that it has big pieces of meat in them as some beef broccoli dish sometimes consists of tiny, barely there meat. It is family owned and run with friendly and welcoming attitude. Inexpensive food yet you get huge portions and good food. I like that this is close by so I have this option whenever I crave for Chinese food. read more

We came in to get some food. The Lady running around like a chicken with her head cut off. She starts helping one person, then jumps to another then to 2 others without finishing the first person she is helping. Lets just slow down lady and help one customer at a time. The food smelled good but wasnt food. We ordered pot stickers that were fried and extra fried way too much to the point where it was hard. My daughter got a plate and said there wasn't much flavor to it. read more

The owners I presume were very generous with the portions. They did not have huge portions on the line as the food seemed ro be made more fresh. Indoor seating could be improved, but overall it was a nice place to stop by. read more

China Wok Express - Chinese Near Me - Lathrop, California

Small restaurant, few small tables to eat in. Easy pick and chose Chinese food. They always pack the to go styrofoam containers to the max! I have ordered many party trays for my parties! Great prices if you like to host. Prices have gone up a little but totally worth it! Check around and you'll guaranteed return to place your order here. I usually order the 5 party trays special for $146.99. The chow-mein, fried rice, beef and broccoli, orange chicken and salt and peppered fish (additional $10.00) but I love the fish. read more

Food was not good . I got like five items and I've had way better. I'm not sure why everybody likes this place.

This place was alright. I came here because the ratings were really good but don't let the over generous reviews fool you because of the nice customer service and huge portions. The food itself was mid par at best. It wasn't anything mind blowing it was okay. The chow mein is better than the fried rice. The kung pao wasn't that great, orange chicken was okay, the other plate had sesame chicken and Mongolian beef which was good. Reminded me of a cheap China express food4less takeout honestly. I would still choose Panda Express over this place any day if you prioritize quality over quantity. P.S. panda express's orange chicken is still way better than this place. read more

China Wok Express - 2 entre plate with kung pao chicken and orange chicken . Half rice half chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Lathrop, California

Food tasted like oil, place was very dirty, service was fast, and the making of the food was very very sloppy.

This place definitely needs to upgrade their food being the only Chinese food express style restaurant in Lathrop. It's a shame. Starting with their fried rice it's hardly fried. It's more like soy sauced White rice. There's no type of meat, No carrots, no peas, no scrambled egg very boring and tastless. Can say the same for the Chow mein. I ordered the sesame seed chicken which has a sweet sauce with No Sesame seeds. Big surprise! And no matter if you order the sweet and sour chicken or sesame seed chicken, it's the same chicken with different sauce. Very bland and disappointing. If you order the mushroom chicken, don't be surprised if it looks like a pile of mush with overcooked vegetables. It's what you get you live in Lathrop. That's what you have to settle for. Sorry. The sad thing is I rather drive to French camp to go to Chinese Express for less made by Food. 4. Less to get some real Chinese food!!! Either step Up or step on out. We need better. read more

China Wok Express - hot and sour soup, orange chicken, brocolli beef, chow mein.. my usual... yummmmmmm - Chinese Near Me - Lathrop, California

First time trying this place. It's a small little family owned Chinese deli. I ordered the 3 item combo with chow mein. Chow mein is good, like how it's the skinnier noodles. The sweet and sour chicken was okay. The Mongolian beef had good flavor. Only complaint was the size of the meat were big making it a little chewy. The fried fish was interestingly good. It had like Cajun seasoning on it which is different for Chinese but I like it. The portions was big. Service was okay they were pretty busy with to go orders. read more

I ordered a one entree plate with walnut shrimp and chow mein. Honestly the worst Chinese food I've ever had. The shrimp had way too much breading. The breading was over cooked and fried to a crisp. It was so hard I felt like I was going to crack a tooth if I kept eating it. The flavor was not good either. The chow mein also had no flavor. I ate a few more shrimps hoping not all of them were over cooked but all of them were. My boyfriend and I also got food poisoning after eating this meal. I hope nobody else experiences this.. read more
