Kind of a hole in the wall, in a sketchy strip mall; wasn't sure if it was open but there is a lighted sign, so yay. Clean and comfy enough inside. A wall with those faded generic Chinese restaurant menu photos. The menu itself is big and has all the standards. They had a few signs on the counter about new dishes, so I tried one, bourbon chicken. I know, not authentic, but I'd been wanting it lately anyway. And it was right in front of me. Friendly, fast service. Fried rice was just okay. Egg roll was, meh, maybe a little better than okay, but not good enough to finish. Chicken was pretty darn good. Chunks of meat that somehow stayed crispy in a ton of sweet-savory sauce. Big portion. A little broccoli (my doctor, and even taste buds, could have had more of that.) Very tasty, and I really enjoyed it. I'll keep it in mind; not many decent dining options down this way. read more

I'm almost afraid to say too much... prices are amazing for the quality which is extremely delicious!! I have lived close to here for almost 10 years and have missed out until recently ! The fried shrimp is to die for. 15 pieces for $8. What? Shhh IKR!! It's sooo good and the best crab rangoons ever!!! And ordered (lazy today) delivery service and the restaurant called me to let me know they didn't have tarter sauce I asked for (comes with cocktail sauce) they also have the most amazing blackened chicken!! I'm sure everything is great but those are my favorites!! Must try all!! read more

Eastern Wok - The fried shrimp!! - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Some of the best tasting Chinese food in Columbus. Reasonable prices and food is always fresh, hot and flavorful! My mom introduced Eastern Wok to me in middle school. I'm in my 20's now and always seem to crave me some Eastern Wok Cuisine!! Great egg rolls! read more

Just a small family run business. Very quick service, excellent food, affordable priced. Large portions, enough for two.

Great small family owned restaurant. Fast, fresh and oh so good. Always happy to see you and have never had my order wrong. Great little gem of the south side. A must try. read more

While visiting my daughter in Columbus, she said "Chinese," so off we went to EW! (not to be confused with "eeeewwwww"). Nice place. Friendly staff. Probably family members in there. You can see into the kitchen where several people were very busy and never bumped into each other. Kudos to their choreographer. For simplicity, I got the first 3 things on the menu: General Tso, Orange Chicken, and Sesame Chicken. What I lacked in imagination was compensated by EW's excellent chow. read more

Very nice staff. They definitely are practicing social distancings from them and from us-lol. Food was made fresh and very hot to the touch in a to go container. I ordered chicken lomein and it came with fried rice and a soda for $6.50. I can eat off of this portion twice. read more

Eastern Wok - Steamed dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We have been ordering from there for years!! Food is always fresh and tasty. Only take out now, but friendly workers.

I just finished eating some great tasting Hot and Sour Soup and Vegetable Lo Mein. Yeah, I'm stuffed. The best thing about it was that it was just the leftovers from lunch so I got two big meals for my $8.70. Eastern Wok is a hole in the wall, order at the counter, sit down and wait till they bring it out to you type of place. Now the restaurant is frankly a bit run down and has no ambiance at all. They serve their soup in plastic take away containers, use Styrofoam plates and their utensils are plastic. It's no frills eating on the south end of town. I know I just lost a few of you... Oh, you're still with me? Cool. Let me finish with a rave about the Vegetable Lo Mein. It's a generous portion of noodles, broccoli, snow peas, scallions and carrot strips. Hot off the wok, flavorful with a hint of ginger too. The Hot and Sour Soup was thick and hearty with plenty of the good stuff in it. The employees here are also super nice too. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again for a quick Chinese food fix. read more

Mediocre Chinese food. The chicken and vegetables was widely over sauced and just OK. The hot and sour soup was OK. They messed up my lo mein order and just gave me plain noodles instead of chicken and vegetable lo mein so probably check your orders. The pad Thai with some of the worst I've ever had. Just threw it away. It was so bad. The eggroll was pretty good though. read more

Has been a staple of south Columbus for many years! Orange chicken is the best and they have great fried rice.

I have ordered from here at least 1/2 dozen times. The restaurant atmosphere is not spectacular but the food is very good. I love their egg rolls and the hot and sour soup. Everything I have ordered is very good. The people that work there are very nice as well. Check it out read more

I had the beef mein it was okay.its was a small and I paid 5 bucks and something. The only reason I gave them a 4 star was the noodles was a little dry and oily. read more

Although they don't know what spicy means lol. The food is really good. Lots of flavors and we've been several times . They do need to Work on customer service but looks like they replaced the girl that used to take orders to a now friendlier lady. read more

We ordered fried dumplings, pork egg rolls, veg lo mien, and beef and broccoli. Food was really good! Great flavor. We will order from there again! read more

Great food! Best Chinese spot within 20 minutes of where I live over by grove city. General tsos and Mongolian beef are

This place is a hidden gem. I like to try a place at least twice before giving it a rating .. you know I need to make sure that the place stays consistent. But, this place has been amazing both times that I have visited. The food is made to order, always fresh. The price is unbelievable for the portion size. I travel here all the way from the Clintonville area in North Columbus, trust me it's that good!! The staff is polite and awesome as well. I highly recommend this place! read more

Does not really look like much on sight but the food is great. A good size serving for the price compared to others I've tried. Also very good and quick service read more

This review is long so im putting my conclusion up here for those of you who don't have time for that, lol. This place is a hidden gem that is worth visiting again and again. Flavor of everything including pork fried rice is really good. The shrimp egg roll has big chunks of shrimp in it. If you like spicy you need to order it that way. I will be ordering take out again soon mmmmmmm. It was Sunday night and i was craving Chinese food. I didn't realize there was a third option on this side of high street and the other 2 places don't have the best reviews. Yelp said they were closed, but we drove by and they were open so I think it's important to note that for other first time customers. We ordered take out and food was ready fast so we hurried home to put these guys to the test. Crab Rangoon was made in wonton style and i prefer the racket ball (have no idea what that style is called) I like the crispy edges. I liked the filling just not crispy so I wouldn't order them again. We ordered the general tso combo plate for 7.50 and it was very good, but just like most places it wasnt spicy so you need to tell them you want spicy. I have to tell you i rarely am interested in the fried rice because it's usually not that tasty. I have to say i would order the fried rice as a meal that is how good it was so if you haven't tried it you should it had such a great flavor that i didn't put soy sauce on it!!! The pork egg roll was very good, but the shrimp egg roll was even better with actual chunks of shrimp (not salad shrimp big chunks I tell you) the flavor was very good. read more

Eastern Wok - General tso combination platter with a piece of crab rangoon. - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I have actually found a Chinese restaurant in this part of the city that I could make a return, Eastern Wok in the Great Southern Shopping Center. The interior is nothing to look at. It's a typical looking strip mall Chinese restaurant with big pictures on the wall. They have the standard Chinese fare. The best option is carryout. I like Eastern Wok for its quick no frills service. They have all the basic Chinese things. The worst thing about it is the location. It can be sketchy in the neighborhood at times, so come earlier. The value is pretty good for the amount of food. There is a limited vegetarian menu. I have tried both of the tofu items. The homestyle is a little plain. The sauce was a bit not as fresh tasting, and the tofu was soggier than the crispy I prefer, but still had pretty good flavor that was absorbed from the sauce. I tried the Szechuan style this time looking to get something a little more spicy. This was a little better, and had a good amount of pepper. Both of these items had too much sauce. The soggy but still pretty good tofu was swimming in it. Also there weren't many vegetables. There were scallions and not much else. It's a pretty good value though. The small portions are about $3 and the large portions are about $6. It's hard to beat that. This is why I'll give it another chance. I still recommend this place to Rice Bowl. It was not so great but I could try it again. There's not often I'm around this part of Columbus, but when I am, I could give this place a try. read more

Eastern Wok - Bean Curd Szechuan Style With Rice Takeout - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I'm not a south spider but this place is good I work in the area and found this hidden gem

Your regular Americanized "hole in the wall" Chinese restaurant. Fast. Tasty. Freshly prepared. Economical and great portion sizes! Tried many local Chinese restaurants, luckily this one is the nearest to me! read more

Best Chinese food on the south side. I'm a vegetarian and enjoy multiple dishes- including the Lo mein, tofu, mixed vegetables, and egg foo young. The noodles are fresh and so are the vegetables. The prices are good and they are quick to prepare your meal. I would recommend this place to anyone read more

Good fast food and fresh! I enjoyed my meal at Eastern Wok. I will definitely be back.

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this food was. I ordered it through GrubHub via delivery and it arrived early and I got two big dinners for less than $20 which was great in my opinion. The food was very hot and taste great. I recommend this place if you are looking for a great Chinese dinner at a fair price. I love it, thank you, guys. Keep up the great work. read more

Five stars for being the best Chinese takeout I have ever had. I remember coming here when I was younger and every Friday night my family would order takeout from here. I still remember sitting on the chairs against the wall, hearing the Asian lady at the register start yelling out the order, and looking back behind her to see the cooks clanging their metal spoons and ladles against the metal woks. You can hear the steam, and smell the oil sometimes. The place has seating, but it's usually just better to take and go, especially now a days, because it's kind of rough around this part of town anymore. The soap operas on the TV should keep you entertained as well as the fish in the small aquarium. I have always ordered the House Lo-Mien, and refused to try anything new, because it's so damn delicious. I used to sneak some of my parent's General Tso's chicken from time to time, which never disappointed. It was always spicy with a nice outter crunch from the fried oils. With all the crappy Asian chain places, or lacking buffets popping up EVERYWHERE, I can still at least guarantee that Eastern Wok is still genuinely good Chinese food and worth a try if you ever find yourself on the southern tip of Columbus. ---P.S.-- They usually have a KILLER lunch special here. You usually get a lunch portion of food, rice, and choice of soup or an egg roll for probably under $7. FANTASTIC! read more

Excellent local chinese food. The staff always presents hot and ready food of good quality! Highly recommended for your south side go to chinese spot! read more

This is really a three and a half star rating because the place, although it has some tables to eat at, offers NO ambiance at all. Just faded pictures of available dishes and a TV. Still, out here in the desert that is downtown, German Village and southside when it comes to Chinese food, this stands out, along with, to a lesser degree, Rice bowl. A large menu is extremely well executed, from superior dumplings, to better-than-they-have-to-be soups, to superior entrees. When it should be crisp it is. The sauces are not all the same. And they have depth of flavor. Even lo mien had character. Shrimp was perfectly cooked. Chicken was juicy. Only two negative things to say: 1) hard to spot from the road and 2) sucky fortune cookies. This is a take out joint, but a superior one read more

Place seemed dingy and the food was meh at best. The staff seemed friendly enough and the food came out in a decent amount if time. I just couldn't shake an uneasy feeling like I was going to wind up with food poisoning (I did not get food poisoning) it just doesn't feel clean in there. I would not go again. read more

Best Chinese ever! They are affordable, fast, & consistent! They always make me my own rice without onion and never disappoint me! I've lived on the southside for 3 years & eat here monthly! read more

Nice clean restaurant, but the food is not good. The general tso chicken sauce is terrible and the meat is soft and chewy, not the standard spicy hot and crispy chicken we have all grown to love. I have tried them several time due to all the amazing reviews, but every time disappointed. read more

My go to place for chinese. Quaint family owned joint, always accurate, fresh, fast. During the weekdays I opt for the lunch special. Great shrimp eggrolls and crab rangoon. read more

No problems... always good and fresh and great portion sizes.lady working there is always nice and helpful and they have been there for years. The orange chicken and shrimp lo mein is good read more

Good serviceable Chinese take out at a great price. Standard fare done well. Reminds me of about a million Chinese takeout places in NY where I grew up. And that's rare in Columbus. You can eat there but I never do. They'll sub out tofu for meat on some dishes and certainly add it (for a dollar or two more) on any vegetable dish. The smaller portions are plenty big enough and really cheap. If you want it spicy you do have to let them know, the food is a little bland normally (they are on the south side after all). They are happy to spice it up however. Highly recommended. read more

Best Chinese for the price range. I am not going to for the ambience I am going for the food. Rice bowl is too overpriced but this place fits my bill. I had lived in SF and had authentic Chinese and this works for me. Happy Dragon was passable but felt like an overpirced McDonalds.I equate this to a Chinese greasy spoon joint that puts out the best food for the dollar. If you want a finely manicured restaurant, go to Dublin or Worthington. Good Chinese food isn't sterile anyway. read more

Place doesn't look like much. But it's the best little dive Chinese food restaurant on this side of Columbus. Definitely more of a take out type place. But the food is excellent read more
