I've gotten take out from this restaurant twice and both times, the food has been very tasty. I made a mistake the first time of ordering the white rice which was quite Bland. However the second time I ordered the fried rice which was delicious. The first visit I got the beef and broccoli which is ample and flavorful. It did have a tinge of some spice I wasn't crazy about. But it was subtle and did not detract from the rest of the meal. On my second visit I ordered the chicken and cashew nuts which again was plentiful and very tasty. They're egg rolls were large and crispy and comes with a large container of sauce to dip them in. All in all I found China Wok to be an excellent choice for a Chinese takeout. I hope to call on them again then again. read more

All around good quick-style Chinese food place. Ordered a sweet and sour lunch special with pork fried rice and an egg roll and the food was good and I was surprised how much pork was in the rice. Also a large portion for lunch. Nice woman took my order and there are a few tables and chairs inside to sit. Nothing fancy as I mentioned it's a mostly take-out place. read more

Terrible! worst spot I could've picked. Please do waste your money and do not eat here! My order was expensive for one for two the food was 100% old and was reheated egg rolls were stale fried rice stale and no taste, the orange chicken tasted literally like fermented orange peels and was also old I could not eat it it was disgusting in taste and texture. I placed my order at 7:50 it was promised at 8:43 (understandable) but then called at 9:20 the lady seemed confused and magically 10 minutes later my food was delivered at 9:30 I'm extremely disappointed and will never spend another penny here if I had pictures they'd be uploaded but I threw it away so quickly read more

Beef and fresh mushroom was pretty good, wonton egg drop soup was okay once you add a little salt, black pepper and msg. Dumplings were okay and sad at the same time.Chinese donuts was the cherry on top. read more

China Wok in Williamsburg on John Tyler Highway. Had to give this place 1 star but if I had a choice, it would be 0 stars. Egg foo young is my husband's favorite Chinese dish. So, I I rdered house egg foo young for my husband and they gave us no gravy. Ordered seafood pan fried noodles and I couldn't believe how this dish was prepared. They used lo mein noodles instead of thin egg noodles. That was a disgrace to the dish itself because they used the wrong noodles. I'm sorry but do not waste your money eating here. Our first and last time getting food from here. read more

Excellent place!!! Great food, friendly employees definitely recommend can't wait to return

Ordered food, got a notification saying it was delivered. It wasn't. Now we have hungry kids, a pissed off hangry mom, and cereal for dinner. Do not recommend their delivery!!! read more

I am not fond of the China walk. The workers acted like robots. They were very short and words and the food really wasn't that good I won't go back but that's just my opinion because my husband loves it so I guess it's two each his own. read more

What can one really say about this type of Chinese restaurant? The best thing about this place is the speed and accuracy of the products ordered. We have eaten from here pretty regularly and never have been unhappy afterwards, maybe a little stuffed though Staff is always friendly and I appreciate being to see where they prepare the food. Food is hot and made to order for entrees. Soups are pretty good as well. We prefer the combo plates or the lunch specials. Pretty straightforward shop that treats you right. Not fancy but great take out! read more

They have the best Chinese food. I am always greeted with a smile. They have many loyal customers who have been going there for many years. I am one of them. I have been eating their food since high school, which has been a while.! read more

China Wok has is my go-to place for Chinese Food in the area. This family run business is my go-to for Chinese food in the area. The China Wok family is always friendly and makes an effort to greet customers as they enter. The sisters who run the front counter and answer the phone are very friendly and polite. Their food is always served fresh, hot, and consistently prepared. I recommend their General Tso Tofu (comes as a large sized portion and is delicious) and steamed shrimp with vegetables (comes with enormous fresh shrimp with perfectly steamed vegetables). China Wok has a steady flow of customers and can be quite busy in the evenings, so be prepared to wait a little bit (better to call in advance). Another nice feature about China Wok is that you can see directly into the kitchen area and watch them prepare your food. I did notice how clean and neat the kitchen was and how efficiently the cooks were in preparing the food. Just a final note that they are closed on Mondays. read more

I'm giving the two stars for the lovely people who were very polite and attentive. But as for the food, it was really terrible. I'm not sure what province of China they're from or where they were taught to cook, but hot and sour soup is generally not thick, filled with floating mushrooms and about a quarter inch of chili oil, the hot comes from black pepper and the sour from vinegar neither of which were present. What's more, there's no sweetness add to that the different things that were in it were kind of odd ingredients for hot and sour soup! There were no lily flowers or black tree fungus but lots of shredded carrots which I've never seen. I give them credit for having a little egg and a little bit of tofu but definitely definitely not remotely close in look or taste to any recipe for hot and sour soup I've ever seen. The spring rolls had thick wrappers and mushy insides. The main dish I got tasted the same odd, sweet flavor as the hot and sour soup, so I think they just use the same flavorings I regardless of what the recipe is. I had ordered chicken and garlic sauce, but this was definitely not garlic sauce. They seem to be very nice people, but I would not go there if you wanted anything remotely like regular Chinese food. On the flipside, if you grew up somewhere where they had what I refer to as Chop Suey palaces and not authentic Chinese cuisine, you might like it. I was hoping that this would've been a great restaurant as it's close to where I live, but I just felt the need to warn others as basically my entire meal end it out in the garbage disposal . read more

I've just discovered China Wok in the last month, and I feel like I've become a semi-regular already. Their lunch specials lured me in, and their lunch specials have kept me as a customer. I've had their General Tso's chicken, their sesame chicken, and their kung pao chicken; I've tried their white rice and their pork fried rice, both of which were delicious; and I've had their eggrolls. Regarding the entrees, the General Tso's chicken was excellent. It was not covered in a gel-like substance like you get in some places. There is a true sauce on the chicken that really pops. When the extra sauce is mixed with the rice it was quite delicious and made cleaning my plate extra fun. Similarly, the sesame chicken had a wonderful sauce with a very toasty flavor accented by the toasted sesame seeds. It might be my favorite dish I've had at China Wok. The kung pao chicken was just the right amount of spicy, and the vegetables were still very crisp and tasty. The sides are similarly tasty. The rice was cooked perfectly, and complements the entrees so well without overshadowing them. The eggrolls were just how I like them. They were very crispy on the outside, but not overdone. The insides were piping hot and crisp as well. So good. The best part of all of this is the value. A large dinner plate-sized helping of one of about 30 different dishes, rice, and two pieces of crab rangoon is $4.85 all week long before 3 PM. I sub out the rangoon for an eggroll. Frankly, it's one of the best deals going in Williamsburg. The interior of the restaurant is very simple (in a good way) and clean, and the tables are usually mostly full during meal times. It made me think of a 1980s pizza place with Asian decor. The booths are molded plywood like some of my favorite pizza and hot dog joints from childhood had. The service is very friendly, and they have always gotten my order right. I'm very pleased with somewhere I can purchase two delicious meals for less than $10 and be confident in the cleanliness and know that the service will be pleasant. I'm going back again today. I've been planning it since I woke up this morning. read more

We always order in person and to go. The staff patiently answers dozen questions. The food is cooked to order and ready in 10-15 minutes. The food is always well packed for the trip home. We've never been disappointed. read more

We have had bad luck with the majority of "quick" Chinese takeout here and finally tried this one based of their google reviews. It seems the majority of their bad reviews were more based towards their customer service than the food itself. All I can say is the young lady I placed my order with was pleasant on the phone, the food was ready when they told me it would be, you could see back into the kitchen and it was very clean (Saturday night too), and they had it set-up very nicely for Covid if your worried about that. We got beef w/ snow peas, the chicken and shrimp special, shrimp Lo mein, and szechuan chicken. I regret not taking any pictures but our food was excellent. If all I have to deal with is the occasional cranky person answering the phone to eat food this good then so be it. read more

Pretty much consistently good and quick! Would love for them to go to an online ordering platform like others have been

Hot and sour soup was not spicy at all and very sweet and sour. Egg drop soup was a little too thick. Chicken fried rice and sesame chicken were pretty good. read more

Fast delivery. Food portion was great! Unfortunately there is no flavor, I'd even take MSG to help this food out :-( If you are broke and want lots of food for the next 2 days - go for it. But I have had some pretty bland Chinese food over the last 30 years and this was about as generic as it came. I even added some soy sauce to the lo mein and some duck sauce to my Eggroll and it did not help any. I should have gotten a pizza. My rating system is : 1 star - if someone else buys it I won't eat it 2 star - if I'm hungry, no other options and someone buys it - I would consider eating it 3 star - I'm ok with eating it as long as someone else pays 4 star - I will eat again and pay for it and be a semi-regular customer 5 star - I will travel for good food and pay good money and be back on a regular basis and maybe even pay for yours just so we can go read more

By far the best Chinese takeout experience I've had in Williamsburg. I ordered takeout on a whim after running errands yesterday. I had noticed this place before but it's sort of on the other side of town from where I live, so hadn't had a good opportunity to try it. Without even looking at the menu, I called and ordered the Szechuan Chicken. I was a bit surprised at the price of $8.95, but realized later than the portion of this dish was fairly large. I later took note that on the menu there are certain items, such as Chicken n Broccoli and lo mein, that are available in a small portion with standard cheap prices of about $5. I'll need to try one of these later to see if the quality matches what I ordered. Anyways, my Szechuan Chicken was awesome! Very flavorful, and spicier than what I've had in the past. It was full of veggies, including broccoli, green onions, water chestnuts, and sugar snap peas. Considering I can get two meals out of it, I would certainly get this again. As other reviewers have noted, service isn't friendly. The lady on the phone was difficult to communicate with. When I came in to pick up my food there was a shy young girl (maybe 10-12 years old) who rang me up and I wasn't acknowledged by any of the adults. read more

China Wok - Szechuan Chicken ($8.95) - Chinese Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Hole in the wall, but the take out is satisfying, priced right, and they give you free two-liters if you pay in cash. Have been going for over a decade and have seen the children of the owners grow-up. I definitely recommend. read more

They went above and beyond on our order. I ordered the Seafood pan fried noodles and they were delicious - lots of large shrimp and delicious scallops as well. The noodles and white sauce was perfect - not too much and perfect texture. Thank you! They also fill the rice to the max and everyone had leftovers. Other family members had sweet and sour chicken and sesame chicken, and everyone was delighted. Their wonton soup was full of wontons (other places I have been to seem a little light on the actual wontons). Thank you so much, China Wok! You'all are the best here in Williamsburg! read more

Of all the "cheap" Chinese places in Williamsburg this one has the least palatable food. The service was fine; fast and courteous. But the food was so bad we ended up throwing most of it away. **FOOD** The general Tso was stringy, broccoli mushy, hot and sour soup was sugary - and not hot or sour. Won ton soup broth was sugary as well, but the wonton was ok. We wouldn't go back here again and it's a shame because of its proximity to home. If you're looking for cheap Chinese joints (not the ilk of Ichiban or Peter Chang) I'd recommend Tops China which is only a one minute drive away from China Wok. Food tastes MUCH better. And if you go for lunch it's $5. Cheap Chinese! read more

China Wok, you are a lifesaver! Okay, this is definitely not a fancy place that you would go for a special occasion... but most Chinese restaurants aren't anyway, so you should already assume that. We were staying at the Powhatan Resort and saw a flyer for China Wok. The free delivery caught our attention (yes, we're cheap). The menu is HUGE, there's so much to choose from. The portion is VERY generous. The regular portion can easily feed two hungry adults. We ordered 3 regular dishes and 1 small dish, and it was enough for the 4 of us for lunch and dinner... there would've been leftover for breakfast, but Chinese food for breakfast just doesn't sound right. The dishes were super tasty. Sure, some are greasy and kind of on the salty side, but not more than the Chinese food you'd find anywhere else. Also, the people were awesome. They gave helpful recommendation and were happy to substitute the chicken with white-meat chicken. The delivery was super speedy, too. read more

Love it and I love their Kong pow chicken, best in Williamsburg! Service is always great and food is hot, fresh and extremely tasty. I highly recommend this place for your Chinese takeout or delivery option. Prices are spot on and portions are heavy. If your only a little hungry, get the small portion; unless you're like me and want to enjoy it again for dinner! Fabulous restaurant quick and polite service with wonderfully delicious food! read more

Once again I found myself jonesing for a Chinese food fix so I called China Wok which has a couple of things going for it. First off, it's very close to my home. And while these take away/eat in places are ubiquitous in our area, no other is closer. Second, the food I have ordered here in the past has always been fresh, well-cooked and very tasty. I couldn't ask for more from a "fast food" joint. I'm a man of simple tastes and habits born of long standing, so what I order usually runs to a few of the many menu selections - typically General Tso's Chicken, House Lo Mein, House Fried Rice, and Egg Rolls. The menu here is extensive, but I can only imagine the other items would be as tasty as what I order. I noted comments by others regarding the friendliness of the owners and "staff". Most of the folks working here are all from one family and typical of restaurant families, everybody gets to work in some capacity at some point. The Chinese are not known for being particularly "warm and fuzzy" with strangers, and in a business setting it's just that... business! One thing for sure at China Wok is they are always busy taking orders, cooking, packing, taking payment, etc., etc. so they don't have a lot of time to schmooze the customers.I have always found the folks here to be very friendly and I make a point of speaking to them in a friendly way regardless of how they act.My kindness is always reciprocated. This year I even gave them the gift of one of my hand-made and hand-painted Feng Shui snakes as a Chinese New Year gift. Follow the advise of other reviewers regarding portion sizes. Lunches at $4.85 until 3 PM are the best value and are served with your choice of fried or white rice and 2 pcs. of shrimp Rangoon. Dinners run from $5.95 (veg Egg Foo Young) -$11.45 (mostly the seafood dishes with giant prawn, etc.) depending on your order, but the portion is enough for two people to share and be full. It's lunch time and I have some left-overs from my dinner I'm thinking of revisiting, so I'll wrap things up simply by saying - Hungry for good, fast Chinese? You really can't go wrong calling China Wok! read more

Alright. Lots of random reviews going in here. I feel the pain of people who feel like they got dissed by this place. As a local, I go here at least once a week. Why, cuz it ain't awesome but it is one of the best takeout places. My biggest critique is that it is not always consistent in terms of quality. But more often than not it is pretty good. I just went there today and got the best steamed dumplings ever. So. Not sure what's up with the place. It is doing good food, for me, consistently (sometimes) over the few years I've been going here. They are always nice so not sure what's up with the characterization as them not being nice. read more

China Wok - a view of the outside of a restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Williamsburg, Virginia

Most of my order was not cooked correctly or tasted right. Szechuan beef is supposed to have shredded carrots and celery. Mine looked more like hunan beef with added red pepper. It had broccoli, mushrooms, and large peices of carrots and green peppers. Half of my container of sesame chicken was broccoli. Shouldn't have broccoli at all. They must have had it for a filler. When I ordered, I asked them if they made their meat dumplings from scratch. They said yes. What they called dumplings was just stuffed wontons. The egg drop soup was tasteless. The hot and sour soup was not good. It lacked all of the standard mushooms that you typically find in hot and sour soup, and did not have the correct flavor. I ended up throwing away about half of the food that I had ordered. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone that likes Chinese food. read more

What better way to start off the new Year than take out from China Wok. Literally didn't feel like moving on New Years Day so my hubby, cousin and I ordered delivery takeout. Standard Chinese take-out, we ordered vegetable fried rice, chicken and broccoli with gravy, Szechuan chicken and General Tsos chicken. I honestly have not had Chinese take out in awhile and it hit the spot. We're talking years of not having Chinese takeout. Anyways the fried rice was delicious and the General Tso's was spot on. The scechuan chicken was lacking a bit in flavor but the chicken and broccoli was great. Thank you China Wok for making our New Years experience a wonderful one. We will keep you in mind next time we want some more! Also-SUPER fast! I mean between the delivery time and time we ordered I didn't even have time to go from hungry to starving. Awesome service. Thank you!!!! read more

This place is pretty run of the mill. Nothing special. Thankfully the food isn't super greasy as it is at some other places. It's ok for Williamsburg, but this place probably wouldn't survive in a larger city. The mushrooms are pretty good, as well as the sweet and sour pork. read more

NOT GOOD!!! We decided to try the local Chinese places in Williamsburg while visiting from NY and last night we had China Wok. The food was terrible. We got the General Tso Chicken and the chicken was very dry. We asked for a refund, but they just said we started eating it and refused to give the refund. Overall a bad experience from this place and the lady in the front was rude to say the least. read more

Great take out place! The kitchen is very clean and their menu is extensive. Not really a place to go sit for a dinner night out, but probably good for a quick lunch or an easy dinner with kids. We ordered take out while staying at Powhatan Resort and took it back to our room. The service was fast and the food great. And the prices were perfect. Most lunch dishes around 5$ and the average dinner dish is 8$. We loved the fact they had the option of smaller portions so we could try a variety of dishes. read more

I keep telling myself that I won't give this place any more of my business, but it's the only decent Chinese food with radius of where I work. Food is decent but the service.. wow. The young girl, who I assume is their teenage daughter is the only pleasant person to deal with. Sorry if you have to deal with older woman. Her alone is the main reason for not wanting to get food from here. Is there really a good reason to be such a c-bag to your customers? She literally barks at you if you ask a question. No hello, thank you or goodbye. Right now they have their yearly Chinese calendars advertised as FREE with a hand written sigh. As I paid for my lunch, I kindly asked for one and was barked at "No! Dinner only and pay in cash." Maybe you should write that on your sign under FREE. Won't be going back for a long time.. if e read more

What a miserable experience. I was visiting from out of town. One of my (elderly) mother's rare treats is to go out for Chinese food. I wanted to take her out, thinking it would be a fun time for her. Boy was I wrong. She suggested this place, having been there once before. We walked in, but the place was completely empty. At lunchtime. Should've paid attention to that. The Chinese woman at the counter did not greet us as we came in (or when we left). She was the most SULLEN person I've encountered in a long time. Extremely unfriendly. Didn't smile once. As I placed my order, I was taken aback when she barked at me, "Egg roll!" I smiled and said, "No, thank you, just the rice, please." She barked back, even louder, "EGG ROLL!!!" I looked back at the paper menu and realized what the problem was. Well, excuse me, but it being my first time, I didn't know you had to choose between the egg roll or crab rangoons, sheesh! I kept my cool and continued to be friendly, but it was really confusing because she was being so unfriendly and also because it should've been easier than this. It made me feel really uncomfortable. I kept trying to be nice, but she seemed so miserable and somehow that was OUR fault. So I ordered the roast pork chow mein lunch special. Guess what? All I got was a plate of vegetables and tiny slivers of roast pork. NO NOODLES. Since when does a chow mein dish not include chow mein noodles?!? I didn't say anything as I didn't want to ruin my mother's time out. :( Everything was tasteless. She didn't seem to like what she got, either (beef and broccoli). I bought a drink later, gave exact change, she just threw the money in the register (don't think she rang it up, either - taxes??). I smiled and nicely said, "Thank you," but she didn't respond, just sat back down in her chair. Wow, what a huge disappointment for what was supposed to be a special time for my mom. A complete waste of time and money. read more

I ordered Chicken Lo Mein, General Tsao chicken, an order of crab Rangoon, and an order of spring rolls for delivery around lunch time. The Lo Mein was flavorless, the General Tsao chicken was so over cooked, it was like chewing on shoe leather. The sauce was tasty, but the chicken was so hard to chew I lost interest. The spring rolls tasted weird... Not bad, just not like the usual cabbage spring roll. Lastly, the crab Rangoon, my favorite Chinese food appetizer, had a filling made with pickles. PICKLES. WHO PUTS PICKLES/RELISH IN CRAB RANGOON?! It ruined it for me! Even the white rice that comes with an entree was dry. I do not recommend this place, even to satisfy a Chinese craving. Not to mention there was an $18 minimum to order delivery. I know pizza restaurants that have a $10 delivery minimum, I've never heard of it being so expensive. read more

They deliver to our house! We live close, so the timing is admittedly above average due to proximity, but worth reviewing. Our food order is always correct, food is always hot. It is absolutely average American style Chinese food, as you'd expect it to be in this area. Consistent food and service each time. read more

This place sucks. We've ordered from them several times. Their chicken is very chewy and not good, and half the time they don't deliver even though they say they do. Also, they are very rude. Do yourself a favor and go someplace else. These people don't care. read more

It's our go to for a quick delivery meal. read more
