China Wok

We visited Hot Chicken Alley today after spotting it while we were out running errands, and we were…read moredefinitely not disappointed! Although it is somewhat tucked away in a shopping plaza, this little hidden gem delivered both amazing food and top-notch customer service. The owner and his team were incredibly welcoming and treated every customer who walked through the door more like a friend or family member than simply another customer. That kind of service really stood out to us! I ordered the slider with fries and asked for my pickles and coleslaw on the side. The chicken was moist and flavorful, the sauce was delicious, and the fries came out hot and crispy; just the way I like them! The craft Stubborn Soda was also refreshing, with unlimited refills, and free ice cream afterward was an unexpected bonus! The restaurant itself was clean, had plenty of seating, played good music, and our food was brought out fresh and hot. Between the atmosphere, service, and quality of the food, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. My only tiny suggestion would be to offer individual wet wipes for customers after their meal. Since this is definitely finger food, your hands can get a little messy, but it was absolutely worth it! Great food, excellent customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend giving Hot Chicken Alley a try. We will definitely be back!

This little place is a hidden gem! My wife had gone here with a friend and raved about it, so I…read morewent with her on a weekend and agreed that this place is the bomb. From the outside, the place doesn't look like much, tucked away in a small shopping center. Once inside, there are a plentiful number of tables in the smallish restaurant, which does not feel at all cramped. It is tastefully decorated, and you order at a counter, and they will either call you to get your food or bring it out to you. On the day we were there, the owner was behind the counter and took our order. He asked if we had been there before, and since I had not, he took the time to explain the menu to me. They focus nearly exclusively on chicken tenders, and we opted to share The Three Tenders, which comes with...you guessed it...three chicken tenders (with your choice of heat level), three warmed tortillas, pickles, and alley sauce (the house dipping sauce) on the side. We added sides of French fries and Cole slaw, and the owner gave me a free fountain drink since it was my first time there. So nice! We grabbed a high-top table, and once the food came out, and I bit into the first tender, I knew I was eating the best chicken tenders I have ever eaten. Seriously. These are awesome and at a decent price, too. The tenders are very large and perfectly breaded. The spiciness matches the heat level you choose--not to little and not too much. No mushy tempura batter here either. And the house dipping sauce was perfectly suited to the tenders. The fries and slaw were great, too. If you like chicken tenders, you won't regret trying Hot Chicken Alley!

I highly recommend China Wok! My family and I are regulars at this hidden gem of a restaurant. My daughter loves their egg drop soup, and I can't get enough of their delicious egg rolls and sweet and sour chicken. The cozy, "hole in the wall" atmosphere may be off-putting for some, but it sometimes provides the feel of a well-kept secret we stumbled upon. The fact that it's a family-run business with the husband and wife working hard daily makes the experience even more special. I can't say enough good things about China Wok! read more

I would enjoy a large bowl of it, it was that good. Our entrees literally came out in less than 10 minutes. Everything was fresh and hot! Portions large. We were very impressed.

This review is based on Lim's performance on Thursday, March 20th, 2025 starting at 11:45. At that time, Lims is busy but there was no wait for seating. When we left at about 12: 45 periodically there was a wait but it was less than five minutes. Lunch was $13.63 including tax. Dinner is about $3.00 more. You have to look up to see what you are eating. The signs that tell you what is in the trays below are way at the top of the shelf racks. are on the shelf above the racks that hold the food. You really have to look up to see them. They offer many dishes, including pizza, French fries, buffalo chicken wings, and plantains. There is sushi and all the accompaniments. You can pair the fries with Cole Slaw, fried chicken, or fish. You are not limited to Asian food. They have two types of egg rolls. The smaller spring rolls and larger Egg Rolls. The later have a thicker crust. They are supposedly an American invention. The décor is lovely. You can tell from the pictures. There is a private room for large parties. Despite being nearly filled to capacity, it was quiet. When you get to the end of your meal there is cake and ice cream. They have cream puffs that look like cookies but are filled with a thick rich cream. Look on the top shelf where the other dessert items are. Unusual, but the combination is excellent. This is a lovely place to have lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is pleasant. The service is flawless. The food is delicious and it is quiet.

This family runs an all u can eat buffet which in this day and age is hard to find given how expensive food is. The options focus mainly on chicken with chicken chow mein being my favorite. There is orange chicken and sesame with both being just ok. They have one beef dish which was too salty. They had shrimp which were fresh and not overcooked. Salt and pepper pork chops which needed more seasoning. Pork fried rice was barely ok. Too dry and needed some sesame oil to bring it to life. Two soups hot and soup and egg drop corn soup. They offered salad components and for dessert fresh donuts, jello vanilla pudding. The owner cashier was very friendly as were the helpers behind the buffet keeping it well stocked. The place was NOT dirty as so many Claim in their reviews. If you want average Chinese food for a good price this is it.
