I have only been one time. The food was fine. I had no problems. I picked it up. The people were very friendly.

Bullshit service. what takeout place has no plates. I asked for a containers instead so I can use that as plates but they man rudely said no. food taste like soggy cardboard read more

Food was awful. I ordered egg rolls and beef lo mein. Egg rolls were burnt and filling was bland and flavorless. Lo mein was a congealed mess that looked like it had been made two days prior and microwaved. Expensive tasteless slop. Save your money and go anywhere else. read more

I'm only giving them a 3 because they're pricey. But other than than that their food is good. The people are nice. Family owned and ran.

I don't know why this establishment is getting poor ratings from anyone. We have been ordering food from here for 14 years now and have always loved their food. The delivery is so fast. Staff is friendly. Just a few things we always get is the shrimp and chicken fried rice, crab rangoon, sweet and sour shrimp and chicken, orange chicken, pan fried noodles, ​egg rolls, garlic chicken, wonton soup, egg drop soup. I've tried many other dishes here, but these are our favorites. ​They're the best! read more

This Family Business has been here over 26 years. Good food and a fair price. Never a bad meal, ever! Nice people and very good food. I cant say enough about the take out food. No dine in, but that is ok. I give an A+ rating. Kerry L. read more

This place has really good food. Usually get shrimp fried rice and beef chop suey, always hot and fresh.

Unless there was a door I miss this is take-out only. I've lived in Elgin for 10 years and this appears to be the place to order chinese from. Reasonable prices, food prepared quickly, and they will deliver. Our order Cashew Chicken (great), sweet/sour chicken (good), Mongolian beef (great), BBQ pork fried rice (ok), Hot/sour soup (great), Crab Rangoon (great), egg-rolls (good) total: $48 ready in 15 minutes. read more

Chinese Wok - the front of a chinese restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Elgin, Illinois

This place is so damn consistent, and their dishes are always well-prepared and fresh-seeming. I'm sure it's the case that this place is quite 'americanized', but I don't care. I'm American. Their pot stickers are meaty and large, and you get these great almond cookies in addition to the fortune cookies. I now live across the country, in a place with many more Chinese immigrants, yet I still prefer this restaurant to any I've tried in my new home, apart from the very upscale sit-down places. Chinese Wok is primarily a takeout or delivery joint. And it's easily the best of its kind in the area, in my experience. read more

Probably the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten....or "tried" to eat. Way to much salt and everything had a terrible after taste. The fried rice was saturated with soy sauce. Ended up throwing everything out. read more

Really enjoyed this place. Best Chinese in Elgin we have had so far. Sweet and sour chicken for the kids. Chicken was battered perfectly, and sauce was awesome. They give you way more than you need. Kung Pao chicken was good. Chicken was perfectly cooked, but it had to many large pieces of green pepper for my taste. The portion was huge. Really liked the Mongolian beef. Huge portion again. Saved the best for last. This place has the best crab rangoon. Huge pieces that are very crunchy and filled with a ton of cream cheese. Our new go to place. read more

They only reason I'm giving them 3 stars instead of 1 or 2 is because I'm being optimistic that on my second visit the food will improve possibly. I usually don't write a review off the first visit but I will say that I was not very happy with the taste and quality of the food. *Mongolian beef had an odd texture and gooey taste. *Crab Rangoon was flat out inedible due to horrendous taste. *Fried rice had too much soy. *But... the plane white rice was nice. I will update my review after my second visit. read more

Most of their dishes are really really good. And I mean, really good. Some things I'm not really a fan of... Their egg rolls are really dry, crab rangoon isn't that great. Their straight fried rice is terrible, but their shrimp fried rice is probably one of the best i've ever had. They have a giant and cheap combo special that I would probably get more often but it comes with a heaping portion of the lackluster fried rice and dry egg roll. read more

Tried this place a second time by accident. Couldn't remember if I hated it last time. As soon as I took the first bite I remembered that indeed, this is the place I hated last time. Awful flavor and quality. Couldn't even get past the first bite of anything. Fried rice, Mongolian beef, crab rangoons, all terrible. Never trying it again. read more

I used to be their biggest fan--for 10 years. Not any more. As of late, their quality has been sketchy. Today, I ordered delivery of chicken wings and curry shrimp. It was so bad that I called to get the name of the chef (Chen) so I can avoid similar experiences in the future. This guy should be fired, but the management doesn't care about the customers. read more

I have to update and downgrade them to 2 stars. The veggie platter I ordered consisted of rice a few tiny carrot blocks, a few bamboo sticks, and 90 percent chopped celery. I was very disappointed in their dish. I know they have a few good options with large portions and fair prices with fast service that is why I will give the 2 stars, but I have had much better Chinese food in Elgin. If your close by and in a hurry just get it, if you have time go to green jade or some other place then I would. read more

If you like orange chicken or trying new things try the orange chicken at first it's sweet then it's hot taste amazing that with some chicken fried rice from here are amazing and I love chineese and ate at like 100 places and they have the best orange chicken read more

Very good food for the price. I ordered the beef and peapods and the peas were crispy and the beef was pretty lean. It could use a little more seasoning, it was a little bland. But, it's MUCH BETTER then the chinese place down the street by the Jewel-Osco. That place is nasty. read more

Bland, tasteless and thrown away. It was the worst Chinese food I've tasted. No flavor. Went there many years ago, forgot we did, ordered again, remembered why. Threw away half of the food. Bought 4 dinners. Don't bother going there. Fried rice is tasteless and dry. Nasty. read more

I hate to give it a 2-star review, but service is more important to me than any aspect of any business. The food is good and I won't say it's not. My family and I have ordered delivery/take out from them several times. Tonight an item (as in my dinner) got left off of our order. When I called about it instead of apologizing and asking if we wanted to order it again, the woman on the phone became very rude and insisted we didn't order it at all and that she had read our order back twice to confirm. Well, she did read it back twice and both times the missing item was on the list she read back. What is so hard about making it right, people? Why get argumentative about it? Sorry, but they just lost a customer. read more

Hadn't been here in AGES so my bf and I decided to give it a try again. Food wasn't the best. The chicken and shrimp in the General dish and Shrimp with Lobster dish were old/expired. The taste was not fresh. The crab rangoon wrap tasted like fried chicken. The won ton soup was too red. I gave it two starts because the flavor of the crab rangoon was decent and besides the red coloring of the soup, it also had decent flavor. read more

Prices just went up outrageously. their operating hours are different on any thing they post their business on. the woman on the telephone was very rude and unprofessional, she hung up on me when i questioned the cost. the price she gave me over the phone was almost $10.00 higher than the menu prices i added my total from before i called them to place my order. rip off and rude. we will never, never call these folks again. and 2-3 visits ago, they had crab in my vegetable eggroll, yuck!! i was grossed out for weeks after that being in my mouth, i am a vegetarian. these people are the worst. you will see. read more

Food here is good, but the restaurant itself is kind of blah. The restaurant is too dim and there are not enough seats. When I go here with a large party, they usually take a while setting up. They just put all the tables together and throw the plates on the table. read more

I don't usually write reviews unless it is really bad..my hubby did research and thought 3.5 stars cant be that bad.I'm an asian and had enough of Chinese foods in my life. This is the worst I ever tasted in my life it has werid chinese sauce smell so strong..I don't get it how the heck this place is still open for business ?? Omg we couldn't eat it seriously ...we tossed everything in the garbage..yeah that bad..not worth it totally.. read more

BEST CHINESE EVER!! For the price, you cannot beat it. They are consistent and my family has been ordering for years. Now I live in Texas and this is one of the first things I need to eat when I come back. Amaazing! I recommend the sesame chicken. read more

I am skeptical when it comes to Chinese since I'm vegan. I called a couple of time before even ordering and they told me the same thing about the Hung Sue Tofu. They said it is just a plain brown sauce(soy sauce) and that their isn't any fish or oyster sauce in it. I have ordered this a couple of times and really like it. It tastes better being spicy. I would definitely recommend this if you are vegan and there are other options I haven't tried yet. read more

I have been coming here for years. I love the food, the people and the prices! I always order their egg drop soup, their shrimp egg foo young, and their chicken appetizers. They give ample white rice to go with the dinners, and they have always had the food ready when promised. They are always polite and friendly as well. HIGHLY recommended. read more

I like to come in about once a week or so and get the orange chick ( has a sweet and spicy taste to it) and some fried rice... Also get a free egg roll with the purchase. Always have been nice to me and food taste is pretty consistent which is nice. read more

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN ELGIN BY FAR, it's a carry out I understand but the wall menu is faded and barely readable in a most unapologetic manner. I came in last week to ask for some Egg Drop soup with an addition that I would gladly pay for and was responded with a terse "no." I asked for a reason and was told that they don't do that there and it wouldn't taste good anyways. Like it's his judgment over mine to decide how I eat and what tastes good. So I told him ok, and that I would take my business elsewhere and he just sat there stone faced in his chair with an oblivious smug look on his face. J Pho is just up the street, beautiful atmosphere and the best prices, clean dressed people and great food selection in town BY FAR. Lastly, Chinese Wok is usually dirty when you walk in and the man whom I was trying to take the order with was wearing a sloppy t-shirt looking like he just rolled out of bed. The conditions are bad here but at least you have J Pho and Wing Ho carryout also in the central Elgin area. I don't care if they have been there 100 years, It's a dive in there with garden variety food you get at ANY Chinese food restaurant in the area and absolute dive restaurant attitudes- NO THANKS YUCK!!!! read more

The food is always fresh and carry out wait times are always fast. I order from here regularly. Yesterday I placed an order and told them I would be there in 10 minutes. Sure enough I walked in and my order was ready to go. Now that's freaky fast! I always order Sesame, Generals, or Orange chicken, which are always spot on, however sometimes I can't tell the difference, aside from the sesame seeds. They serve some of my favorite egg rolls. For some reason their food doesn't reheat as well as other chinese restaurants, but when it's hot, it's delicious. read more

Good food, but I would like more extras with the meals (vegetables & meat). There was a lot of rice and noodles and not a lot of everything else. But overall flavor was good. read more
