I think I found my go to place after four years living in Houston. I haven't been too impressed with the Chinese spots in Houston.Chow wok was clean and the service was great. First off the prices are very affordable and they have great lunch and dinner specials. I ordered fried rice combo, small wonton soup and sugar puffs ( fried biscuits with sugar). Everything tasted amazing and reminded me of the Chinese food that I use to eat as a kid. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! read more

The was honestly okay. I would give them a 6/10. Too much soy sauce in the SFR and the 6pb chicken are fried with old oil seems like. Not a huge fan at all but it's okay. Employees were very kind though he gave me a very warm welcome and goodbye. Establishment is clean and smells fresh inside which is a plus! read more

Genuinely some of the best take out Chinese food I've had in my life. Super fresh, and amazing family service. I could eat this everyday. read more

Food was very good and plentiful. I had the chicken and broccoli from the regular menu. My friend had the shrimp and vegetables from the lunch menu. She felt everything was good except the soup. Service was fast and friendly. The interior was clean and tables were spaced so conversation was easy. Parking is tight but more available in the adjacent lot. I would definitely go again. read more

Chow Wok - Chicken and broccoli with fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Excellent, quickly-prepared food. Very fresh ingredients, especially the veggies. Great, friendly service. A rather bare-bones dining area, but it was more than adequate for our group. A rare gem to find in suburban Houston. I was expecting bog-standard Chinese food, and was delighted that it was so much better than the stuff that most inexpensive restaurants dish up. Highly recommended! read more

Came in tonight. Customer service was great. Got my credit for my food mishap my last visit. Thank you! read more

Chow Wok - Egg drop soup w green onions-Large - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Walked in today and ordered General Tso's chicken. To start with, the price came out at around 13 with tips and then on top of that, it was brought out to me fairly quick. The food itself was well portioned but the spice left something to be desired. There was a slight kick, like a baby making its presence known in the womb. With the taste being decent at best, the biggest draw was the fact that after I felt so full that not even grandma on Thanksgiving day could get me to nibble anymore. read more

Chow Wok - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of the consistently best places to grab some take out Chinese. Portions are huge and food is excellent. I personally love the Gen Tso Wings! read more

If you haven't been to this place in a while, they are definitely worth the revisit; great restaurant quality food, not the food court stuff. Orange chicken and Happy Family are great. And someone on here recommended the Chicken Wings with general Tso's sauce, great call. Thank you. What a wonderful recommendation as those wings are outstanding and in a surprising way, that sauce works so well as part of a Chinese meal. read more

Tried to call and place and order but it went to vm. Got a text right after that they were with customers and would try to call me back. Never did. I placed an order online for a shrimp fried rice, light veggies and soy sauce. Only thing is I wish it was fried harder. It was so fresh and the shrimp were a good size and cooked perfectly. I would get it again. read more

Chow Wok - Shrimp fried rice (chicken made at home) - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

--Dearest Reader, I set pen to paper from the sweltering heart of Houston, where fate led me to a small but steadfast outpost known as Chow Wok. Much like a trusted quartermaster in the thick of campaign, this establishment sees to the nourishment of weary souls with uncommon care and consistency. Their provisions are many, and each dish a soldier in its own right. The Kung Pao--whether made with chicken or the humble tofu--comes at you like a cavalry charge: bold, peppered with heat, and not lacking in spirit. General Tso's, too, marches in proudly, sweet with just enough bite, a fitting tribute to a commander who leads with both strength and subtlety. The Mongolian beef (or tofu, if you march a gentler path) arrives like a midnight raid--rich, deep, and hard to forget. And their fried rice? A true camp staple--filling, reliable, and as welcome as dry boots in a thunderstorm. Chow Wok serves both those on foot and those dug in at home, offering pickup or delivery with the efficiency of a well-run supply line. In these parts, folks speak of them as a cornerstone--no less vital than the blacksmith or the church bell. Should your path ever lead through these sun-baked roads, I urge you, stop in. Take rest. Let Chow Wok fill your belly as surely as a letter from home fills the heart. Until Next Time, --Mitchell read more

I came here about 4 years ago and now I know why I haven't been back! I ordered takeout for myself and my kids. The pepper steak and Mongolian chicken. First of all the Mongolian chicken was spicy! It was for my daughter who's 7 and she took one bite and said "mommy that's hot!" I tasted it and sure enough it was spicy! I've ordered Mongolian chicken several times from several different restaurants and it's NEVER been spicy. The pepper steak the "beef" was very chewy and gummy. The texture of the meat was absolutely disgusting I'm sorry. I'm sure they have some great dishes because they do have great reviews, however today I was beyond disappointed in the quality and taste of my order. read more

My go-to spot whenever I'm craving Chinese-American. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Matt and Jason are always super helpful when I have questions about the menu. The food is delicious every time I order. My top items are the shrimp egg rolls, wings, orange beef, Singapore rice noodle, garlic seafood fried rice, moo goo gai pan, and lo mein. Overall 10/10 service read more

Found this place Christmas 2024 after the Texans game. There weren't many restaurants open, but Chow Wok was and they were GOOD and we have been customers since. read more

Amazing customer service!!!! They even checked on me while eating to make sure everything was good! The black sweet tea is soooo delicious! Very clean inside from the tables to the floors. Food came out fresh and hot, order first and they bring it to you. When I asked for a tea refill (free refill was mentioned to me when I paid for the tea) and to go box, they did seem a little irritable but I guess that's okay to look past, maybe they had a lot to do. Will definitely be returning to try them out again. Time of visit: 3:00pm 7/29 read more

Food and service was good. Chow wok was clean and the service was great. Great selection on the menu,

Ordered from them last week and the Curry Chicken dish was lacking any flavor or taste. It was just very bland and had an unfavorable flavor to it, like the chicken was washed out. The week before I ordered the Curry Shrimp and that dish was very tasty and flavorful. I won't order the Curry chicken again from Chow Wok. read more

Chow Wok is our 'go-to' Chinese delivery place. It's got everything you could want for American Chinese food and it's done pretty dang well. They are consistently good and that's what keeps us coming back. They are just down the road from us so it's very quick to get it delivered to our door for an easy weeknight dinner. read more

Good food and service, incredible price that nowhere else can bite. They have pick up and delivery too. read more

This place is awesome. Chow wok has become a staple in my life. Everything is good here. I've never had an issue with anything I've ordered. The owner and staff are great and always accommodating. I will say communication is key, if you want something ask for it don't assume. The crab rangoons are a1, dumplings superb, and the gen tsos chicken is great. Large servings always with enough for a second serving. read more

I was craving some Chinese for lunch and remember seeing this place as I was driving once so decided I'll give them a try today. I ordered my food online and was told about 25-30 min. Got to the restaurant in about 20 min and it was ready for me to go. The worker was very nice and offered me extra condiments if I needed them. I ordered the general Tso's Chicken with the fried rice and one pork egg roll. Overall, the food was not bad but honestly I was not a fan of the fried rice (which I did see in a previous review but wanted to try it for my self). It didn't really look or taste like fried rice to me. The egg roll was really good and fried every well. My General Tso's chicken was pretty good as well I just wish it had a bit more sauce so that I could mix it in with the rice. The pricing is very reasonable and they give you a really good amount of food so you will definitely have leftovers. read more

I wanted to love it but it was not as good as others have said. Here's my take: When we walked in, the cashier is not friendly but not rude just just...I told her it was our first time and to give us a minute. She just stared ahead. Okay... We ordered orange chicken, ribs, crab rangoons, egg rolls, hot and sour soup, chicken dumplings and honey walnut shrimp. The orange chicken was good not great. It had a nice heat and interesting orange flavor which my daughter thought was almost tropical. I thought the portions were small. The honey walnut shrimp had ALOTtt of mayo on it. Other that, pretty good but again small. The hot and sour soup was okay and so were the egg rolls. The dumplings were pretty good; the crab Rangoon's were big and good. Both nice size in amount and portion. The ribs were not good to me or the hubs because of the sauce and meat was just off. This may be a personal preference though. We drove 28 minutes to get here, so we wouldn't return to eat in; it's definitely a place to door dash as it's small and half the restaurant is reserved for to go. read more

I ordered lunch online for myself and a friend. We ordered the General Tso's lunch with fried rice and an order of vegetable lo mein. The service was super quick, we were quoted 20 minutes but it was ready in less than 10. We arrived and the staff were nice. Unfortunately, that's the best part of the experience. The food was not great, the chicken was hard/stale, swimming in sauce, the fried rice wasn't flavorful at all, however the egg-roll was really good -- I'd go back just for that. The lo mein also was unsatisfactory, kinda bland. We didn't take more than two bites. read more

Soooo, I meant to get food from another place not from here. Big boo boo but it was okay. I ordered fried rice with extra shrimp in it and shrimp lomein extra spicy with extra shrimp. Now, to me, shrimp lomein should be made with lomein noodles and the spice should be developed in the dish. In the sauce, ya know. The shrimp lomein had plenty of shrimp but it was made with fettuccine noodles and doused in crushed red peppers. Come on, do better. Do much better. It tasted okay but I will never get again. The shrimp fried rice was good. I thought to make it spicy but so glad I didn't or I wouldn't be pleased with the dish. The put plenty of shrimp in it. I ordered an egg roll and it was a mushy mess. read more

I had high hopes for this place. Seems like all the Chinese restaurants near my home are subpar or closing all together. I still have one ol faithful, but I'm always searching for a backup just in case. I wasn't able to find a menu online, so I was heavily relying on the order taker. She was very helpful, patient and made recommendations. I ordered pan fried dumplings, wonton soup, sesame chicken with fried rice and a pork eggroll. The delivery guy was very nice and arrived in the time quoted. This is where the hood ended. The wonton soup was darker than any other wonton soup I've ever seen. It was fair. The one good thing about it was you can choose with green onions or without. WITHOUT! Not an onion fan. I did not try the wonton its self. I was a little turned off by the color of the broth. The pan fried dumplings were the best item in my order. Not super flavorful, but better than the other food. The sesame chicken was terrible. The glaze had absolutely no flavor and the chicken itself had hard pieces on the edges that I had to spit out. It was so bad, I quit after 2 pieces and tossed the rest. The fried rice was hopeful looking. I like fried rice with egg, but this was a big nope! The rice was hard and under cooked. The eggroll was okay, but honestly, Jack In The Box has the best eggrolls ever! About 35 minutes after eating that small amount, my hands started to swell. I guess that's an indication of MSG? All this to say, I was so disappointed with my order. $29.00 for the meal and most of it went into the trash. I'm always willing to give grace and try again, but I don't think I can stomach it. Sorry, CW. read more

Newbie here in Houston I came to Chow Wok based on the menu photo's (bad choice) how do you mess up General Tso chicken? Outside of the very small portion, the rice was hard and tasted as if it has been refried, the sauce on the chicken was a gel definitely not made fresh. I'm so disappointed read more

Four but not five stars because my egg roll was not crispy. Mongolian Chicken and Egg Drop soup were delicious. It's a very basic restaurant with flair.

I'm from Chicago and we have some of the best food in the United States! Don't believe me ask Google. Anyway, i have found that most places to eat in Houston lack flavor. That's not the case here. The food is very flavorful. It tastes like Chicago's Chinese food. I will definitely be back. Go ahead... place that order! read more

If you want good Chinese this is your place. I had the garlic chicken and the sauce was not too thick and the veggies still had some crunch. They call it spicy but it's only a light kick nothing major. My spouse had the Singapore noodles and they were the same spice wise. Both dishes were well portioned. Definitely worth trying. Edit: In response to the owner's offer to make dishes spicer, we certainly will ask next time. But honestly I like to see what the base line is before asking for more. I've been to places where the medium was overwhelming, so wouldn't want to ask them for more spice. You are providing a good product. We will be back. read more

Yummmmm. This place is deserving of all the stars. U cannot beat the lunch price special. $6.50 or so for full size portion of food, drink and soup included and it was so delicious.

If I stayed in this area, would for sure become a regular. :-) read more

The sesame chicken and the wings were great. We also had dumplings and the chicken egg rolls which were also great. What separates this place from other Chinese restaurants that I have been to in north Houston is that everything tastes fresh. I believe the egg rolls and the dumplings were home made. The sesame chicken has a nice crunchy puffy batter. read more
