This place is so good i would work there for free. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous. Everything is clean and fresh when you walk in. I am not a huge fan of onions but The beef with the onions (don't really taste but brings more flavor out) was top notch with a small small kick to it in spice. Orange chicken was top tier, sauce was amazing. Fried rice did its job as well, not greasy at all. I'm happy to have found a new spot! Highly recommended. !! read more

Get this spot on your radar fast! Love love love, this little Chinese food spot next to Vallarta Market. Why this place should be on your radar well let me tell you... Fresh! Pipping hot fresh food, homemade quality you can taste. Dude even the vegetables are fire! Nothing like some stir-fried veggies and savory, spicy proteins. This is like Panda Express ten times better. The spicy beef has been my favorite entree thus far. But I'm still exploring the menu. So far every entree I've tried has been fresh fire and on point with the vegetables. Now let's talk portions, you get your moneys worth and then some. Literally packed to the brim full. I don't know how they fit all that food in there... This keeps getting better, let's talk about the price outrageously cheap! These guys could probably charge more but they haven't and it's amazingly good. Every plate comes with a fresh spring roll, and guys I haven't tried the bobas yet so stay tuned for a review update. These guys are so friendly and have a big smile every time I come in. Restaurant is smaller but has a decent seating for indoor dining as well as hanging out with your friends while enjoying some of the smoothies and bobas they have. They are a newer restaurant to the area so come in a give them a shot. If you know the Chinese place near Anaheim high school this place is just as good if not better than that one. (Which got voted best Chinese in Orange County 2024) yeah it might be better than that one. Thanks Dragon Express I'll be back! read more

This Chinese fast food joint is run by a lovely Chinese couple. They are so generous, especially with the portions of food. We got a 3 item combo ($9.69), which is such a deal especially with inflation. You don't find a meal for under $10 that could feed you 2 meals with leftovers. The food itself is classic with a variety of options. They also really fill up the plate where your food is overflowing. Everything had great flavor from the orange chicken to kung pao chicken. Definitely a great spot to grab a quick meal when you want something fulfilling and affordable! Note: cash only. read more

Summary: 5 stars for a small business Chinese takeout, based on food and price, which for me, outweighed any external things some people might mind I love to find small businesses for Chinese takeout, and this is looking to be my favorite of the ones I've tried! (Out of about 6 small businesses in various SoCal cities, maybe a few more.) The food tends to be pretty similar recipes in most locations, but the execution can make some better than others. This place was the most delicious of the ones I've had, which may not seem impressive, but I love good food of many cultures and from fast food to "gourmet." Good taste is good taste in my book; I don't like judging food by snooty standards! The proof: normally I'm a very slow eater, but this food tasted so good I had to be very conscious to pace myself the second time I went here, because the first time I went so fast/ate a bit beyond what I needed, that I got a stomachache after Aside from the food, the prices are comparatively reasonable, ranging around $10-$16 for a 1-3 entree combo plate, if I remember correctly. The portions are generous, so the price is very worth it. They take card now and tap to pay!!, which if you've been to other Chinese food small businesses, some are cash only. The indoors is very standard of most small Chinese takeout places; humble, nothing too standout. It's neat and clean and they have little treats. Unfortunately the outside/general area could be deterring, as some people who hang around this block are disrespectful to public areas (littering next to trash can, etc) but I don't fault the business. Many, if not most?, of us can't afford to move and aren't the ones doing those things.. it is what it is. The service is standard which is all I care about, no rudeness or anything, and I don't expect service employees to act like they're happy and excited all the time. All in all it's definitely worth going for the food and price alone! I definitely recommend it. read more

The food is top tier period. This is the best express Chinese food you can get in OC. The portion for one are HUGE and generous. For what it priced, this is the best deal you can get to get a full stomach. Recommended to try it out, you won't go to Panda Express ever again after. read more

However, the food was just average, very oily, and there wasn't much variety. They also have additional dishes listed on the wall that you can order separately. I ordered the Mongolian beef. The portion was much smaller than I expected, it did not come with rice, and it was also very oily. Overall, the portions of the ready-made food are decent for the price, but the limited selection, average taste, and excessive oil make it hard for me to give this place 3 stars.

We ordered combo C while making a few substitutions to our order along with a few additions. This combo fed 4 people and there was plenty of food left over. We did have a slight language barrier with our server who unfortunately brought out our meal incorrect multiple times. Our server however was quick to correct his mistakes and very apologetic. Good customer service in spite of mistakes goes a long way. The atmosphere is casual, and low playing 80's rock echoed throughout the dining area. The restaurant had a relatively small dining room which wasn't overly crowded at 6pm-ish on a Friday night. The bar counter hosted a couple guests as well. The honey walnut shrimp was arguably my favorite meat, while the house chow mein was my favorite side. The restaurant provided complimentary fried wonton crisps complimented by sweet and sour dipping sauce. This was the perfect starter prior to our food coming out. I look forward to returning for the great customer service and fresh prepared food. ***CLOSED MONDAYS***

Looks like a converted bar with plenty of booths. Our no nonsense server warmed up to us as lunch progressed. We ordered sweet and sour and king pao chicken from the somewhat (?) lunch menu, both very inexpensive. My wife liked the hot n sour soup. My egg flower soup was a STAR! Not too thick, great flavor and nice and hot! Some large egg rolls were included. A little oily for my taste but again, Irene liked hers. You can ask for some S&S/mustard dipping sauce. A slightly different take on how they prepared the mustard. The sweet and sour was decent breaded chicken with good homemade sauce, chopped onions and peppers. No pineapple darn it. My Kung Pao could have been called Kung zucchini! That was okay as the portion was huge and I shared some. Plenty of peanuts too (I wished they had been cooked inside the wok..). More than enough fried rice (we took some home. I always ask myself would we come back? A resounding yes as I have to try their egg foo young! I admit I was disappointed that the tea is in a single serve bag instead of a pot.

I saw this family owned restaurant on my fyp on tiktok and stopped by because it was so local! I got a bowl with fried rice and orange chicken! Everything was so delicious! I will be back with my friends to try the Egg Flower Soup and Mongolian Beef! The owners are so lovely! They played Chinese New Year Music to celebrate Lunar New Years. I loved everything here! I will definitely come back to try all of the milk teas and coffee they offer. 10/10 service 10/10 ambiance 10/10 food 100% highly recommend for a casual lunch/dinner! read more

Been eating here for 10 years+ it was the BEST Chinese around. I cannot even begin to explain how terrible the food was tonight. Broccoli beef was flavorless, and my all time favorite orange chicken was less than edible. It was awful chewy and overly crunchy, barely any chicken. What is orange chicken without chicken? So disappointed, definitely won't be driving from Huntington Beach to eat here ever again. Gotta go make dinner now! Yuck!!!!! read more

Absolutely fantastic experience! The flavors were bold and authentic, taking me back to my favorite Chinese spots. Each dish was beautifully presented, from the crispy spring rolls to the savory dumplings. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I can't recommend this place enough if you're craving genuine Chinese cuisine. A true gem! read more

I would recommend you not eat here if you have work next day cuz u gonna have some serious stomach problem. lol read more

I love what the new owners done with the place, they gave free egg rolls and Thai tea with their grand opening deal. They had lion dancers perform before the store opened. The service was fast and the new sitting area looks great. read more

Wok Experience

My husband and I went out for dinner today because we were craving Chinese food, and we came back…read moreto a place we always thought would hit the spot and satisfy the craving. Unfortunately, The Wok not only lowered their food quality, but their customer service as well. The two girls barely greeted us and didn't really seem to care to acknowledge their customers. It used to feel welcoming -- like "Hi, welcome! What can we get for you?" with a smile on their face. I know everyone has off days and people are different, but this felt more like "What do you want? Here's your food, now go." The food was bland and lacked flavor, and what made it worse was that the chow mein was fresh and it didn't taste fresh at all. The portions were still large, so I guess that and the price somewhat made up for the disappointment. But honestly, we definitely won't be going back or recommending the place like we used to. It honestly makes me sad because now we have to search for a new Chinese food spot, and many of you probably know how hard it is to find a really good one nowadays!

We were starving after leaving Laundromat. Came to this Chinese restaurant. They were about 6…read moreminutes from closing. So made it within a nick of time. Since they were closing, they were trying to overfill food container with as much food as they can . I guess that is the cheat code. Go get Chinese food less than an hour of closing and your proportions will be a few servings . I got the beef and broccoli, fried rice, and bbq chicken. Delicious. Omg. I would've gotten chow mein. But they were out of a lot of food. Because it was the end of the day. You know how you eat fast food and wake up next morning with tummy ache sometimes???? Nope. Next morning I am fine and at work. This was some good Chinese food. Omdg!!

You order your food, they fill it to the top and MORE, and you go about your day. I don't come here for the chit chat or exceptional service, just by coming in you can see that. I like that this place is like that. I like that they overfill your plates and are at an affordable price. For 3 large sides it was only $25, that easily fed 4 people! You don't see these kinds of prices anywhere else and the portions. For that alone I give 5 stars and also the taste of the food.

But they do have eggplant. I requested eggplant shrimp, which was fabulously delicious. It felt like a pound and a half of food. Purple Japanese eggplant cooked in chili sauce and garlic. Such a great food to eat to freak out your friends because they will think you are eating eels with your chopsticks The ladies working there were helpful and friendly. They forewarned me that the rice that accompanied the special meals is small. Boy they were not kidding. Fortunately, I have some here at home to eat the leftovers. Next time I'm getting the tofu eggplant.

We had the juicy pork dumpling, pan fried pork bun, pork wonton in chili oil and the house fried rice.

My sister drove from San Bernardino to eat with us here and from the beginning it seemed like the waiter was upset because they only ordered waters, then we ordered our food and told the waiter we needed to keep one of the menus to order more (mentioned this twice) because he kept asking for the menu back. As soon as he saw we emptied out plates he brought the check and I told him we said we were going to order more, he laughed and said of really. I won't come here again, clearly we weren't welcomed anymore. We're not rich people but we chose to drive to this place because it used to feel welcoming but if they're so eager for money that us ordering waters or not having enough for a tip is an issue. Keep your dam food.
