A friend of mine told me about this place . The place is small yet clean . I placed a pick up order : fried rice with pork and shrimp and chicken egg foo young. BOTH were good . No complaints . The amount of food they give for "lunch" is not bad at all. read more

We've been ordering from here for years. Very fast for takeout and our order is always correct. And it's pretty good for what it is too, which is fairly standard Chinese takeout. As long as that's what you come here expecting, you won't be disappointed. read more

To me, greetings and acknowledgment at an establishment can sometimes make or break an experience. Tonight, that experience was broken. The woman mopping the floors looked at me with such distain, like "how dare you", when I arrived and unfortunately had to walk across her mopped floor during business hours without any warning of it being wet, other than my own common knowledge that it really ruined the whole experience. My preferences were not met and this woman's total attitude was all wrong. I understand wanting to get your job done so you can go home but there was no apparent spill or need to do that, and honestly put customers at risk of falling, at the time (7:45pm). I'm totally turned off from a place I raved for their wings. Not worth it to me. Totally disappointed, and honestly disgusted safety wasn't taken accounted for. Also, their lomein is horrible, avoid it at all costs: 0/10 for lomein. read more

Mushy egg rolls! Yuck. General Tso's chicken. Meh. They overcooked the broccoli and put it underneath the chicken so it got smushed. Taste was ok. Not outstanding. Pork fried rice was decent except there were no peas and carrots. Not enough pork. Probably won't go back. China taste (up the street) is better. read more

The food was delicious, but there was WAY too much salt. The service was kinda slow, should've called ahead, but I won't be going back ever AGAIN. The ambiance wasn't that bad but it wasn't suitable for dine-in, it's more like a takeout type of establishment read more

Fast Wok - Chinese Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

This is a good Chinese food takeout place. I got a Four season entree which had beef, chicken, shrimp and pork and an order of fried dumplings. The 4 seasons had a nice sauce, good flavors, it had a lot of vegetables. The fried dumplings were really good, nice flavor in the pork and cabbage filling and a great skin. I called in ahead of time and the food was ready in 15 minutes. The place is super clean, and the kitchen and cashier were behind plexi glass. So it was a safe and fast transaction. I go back next time and try something different. read more

Fast Wok is a bad name for this carry out! Soured....ordered online, got a confirmation email, went to shop and no meal... after some conversation and giving order taker my phone number, they found nothing. Went and got my phone and showed them my confirmation email and still no idea...then told me 35 minute wait if I wanted what I had already ordered. I had already waited 30 minutes. Don't use their online ordering. We won't be back. read more

Fast Wok - I thought I made an order....looks like it to me. - Chinese Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

Pretty good Americanized Chinese food. Stopped by for dinner and got: The pu pu platter The egg rolls Broccoli in garlic sauce The pu pu platter was nice. The shrimp toast was crispy and tasty. The crab Rangoon was okay, I've had better. The spare rib was pretty good and the egg roll was ok. The veggie egg roll was made with a different shell than the one in the pu pu platter and was far superior to the one in the pu pu platter. Perfect crispiness and went well with the duck sauce. The broccoli in garlic sauce was a mixed bag. Overall the dish besides coming with a generous portion of broccoli also came with a lot of mixed veggies including water chestnuts, onions, and baby corn in a very tasty sauce, but it wasn't garlic sauce. Wasn't what I was expecting but good nonetheless. Overall I'd come back for more when in the area. read more

I had a combo pork egg foo young with brown sauce and fried rice. The food was good and the portions were large. I also had a cup of chicken rice soup that reminded me of the little Chinese place in RI I visited all the time - Bing Sum restaurant. Overall, good food. I really enjoyed it. read more

Always a good experience. Staff is very pleasant. Great selection. Great portions. Have been ordering carry out there for many years.

Honestly, I was really excited to order from this restaurant. If you have any allergies or other dietary restrictions do not order from this place! I got a shrimp dish because I'm muslim and there was literally some other meat throughout my entire dish! I hope they will be more careful next time but this is quite disappointing. read more

The best General Tso's chicken and shrimp I've ever had. Very large portions are served and the food is always hot and freshly prepared. A very good place to go on short notice. read more

They're fast and efficient most of the times. Prices are decent for the quality and portion of food they give you. I don't get Americanized Chinese food often, but this is the spot whenever I do. read more

A Chinese takeout joint. I got the beef chow mein and waited for about 10 minutes in the restaurant. There are three tables that each seat 4 people, but no one eats in. There were two or three people before me that were just picking up food. The beef chow mein was good - hot and what I expected, nothing amazing. read more

Fast Wok - Beef chow mein (comes with a side of rice) - Chinese Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

Food not bad...lunch specials are priced fairly and plentiful...enough for two people. Service was fast and friendly.

It disappoints me to write this review. We have been customers of Fast Wok for 30 years. We basically get the same order every time. The price went from $27-$28 to $38. I understand why. Everything has gone up and they need to raises their prices. But the quality of the food has dramatically changed. The egg rolls were terrible. Dry on the outside and inside. The wonton soup usually had 8 noodles in it but now it has 6. Spare ribs had very little meat on them. LIke I said I am ok with price increases when the quality of the food stays the same. But paying more for poor quality food is a bad combination. Now we have to find another Chinese food place. Not what we expected. :-( read more

Great carry out spot love thier General so ,sweet n sour dishes. Priced right and open until 10 pm.

Great Chinese food. Fast, hot and tasty. Our go-to for pickup. Place is small and only has like 2 tables so you will probably want to order it for takeout. LOVE the shrimp spring rolls and the Sesame Chicken my husband and I split 1 dinner order and it's massive! We even have left overs sometimes. I have also had their crab rangoons and they are tasty. This place gets the job done. read more

Fast Wok - Order of Sesame Chicken comes with broccoli and a side of white rice. - Chinese Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

I ordered Mandarin Chicken and Hunan Beef carry out. When I got home and opened them, both look and taste exactly the same except for the meat. I went back to complain hoping they would change the Mandarin Chicken, the guy/cook insisted its their version of Mandarin Chicken even if I showed him a picture of the real mandarin chicken dish. I would have appreciated a simple honesty and admit their mistake but instead, he lied in my face, gave me a smirk and mistook me for a fool. Dishonesty is very bad for business. read more

Egg roll very good. Beef and broccoli is good, slightly sweet. Fried rice is soft and lacked vegetables. Ordered in door dash and it came very hot, which is good. read more

We have been very pleased with the customer service and the food is exceptional Chinese food! The house soup with no MSG is the best we've ever had anywhere. I highly recommend Fast Wok. We don't use any other Chinese food takeout. read more

Pretty good and they give you plenty of food. Sucks they don't sell half and half. I would recommend

I come here for one thing and one thing only: fried chicken wings. After trying this place's chicken wings, every other Chinese place just tastes...average. There is some kind of strange, wonderful flavor in these wings that isn't found in any other wings. Also, the wings & fried rice combo is ALWAYS the same price, no matter when you come in. ~$5-$6 Get the wings, and get fried rice with them! read more

I worked at a Chinese restaurant for 6 years so my standards are extremely high. When I moved to the area to live with my boyfriend I was dismayed at how much I disliked another Chinese place I tried. He suggested I try Fast Wok and it felt like I was in my old store again. Huge portions, great prices and a friendly (albeit broken English) staff. I ordered fried rice with no vegetables (sometimes this gets overlooked but I've never had that happen at Fast Wok) and my BF got beef with vegetables which he raved about. I definitely recommend this store, I just wish they delivered =/ read more

There are three tables and a dozen chairs in here to sit in for eating. Coke and Pepsi products to drink. Decent prices on the lunch specials. Pretty quick service with the food. The food wasn't amazing, but it was enjoyable and the lunch special was more than enough food for one person. read more

Standard carryout Chinese food. Good taste. Good value. General Tsos solid and egg rolls very good read more

They were fast in providing the food, but they should have slowed down to cook it properly. I wish I had taste-tested the food before leaving. Of my combo the orange chicken was inedible and the egg roll was bland. The fried rice was edible, but had little taste. The WonTon soup was standard. It's pretty hard to screw that up. My wife would have gotten better sweet and sour chicken by pouring Chung King S&S sauce over chicken McNuggets. What we both got a few hours after the meal was the runs. So don't run to Fast Wok. Run away. read more

Very disappointed, we use to enjoy Fast wok very much. Idk what has changed in the last few months. A few weeks ago we ate from there and I got sick. You could tell the food wasnt fresh. Tonight there was hair in my soup. You can say it will be a long time i give them a try again read more

Very Bad & Bland Chinese food. Nowhere near what I've tasted back in CA. I've been trying to find a decent Chinese food place here in MD and it's all a fail. From the outside of the establishment its smells amazing. I went in for the first time. Entire place is empty that should already tell you something. I ordered the beef and brocolli that was up on the menu pictured up top and said I wanted that and I got the small portion. It had an egg roll on the side w fried rice. What I got in the car was white rice, no egg roll and a whole entire bowl of the beef and Brocolli. Color is off . I tasted the dish and it was so sad and flavorless. I make better beef and Brocolli at home for sure! Paid $7 for this. Definitely not coming back. They said they've been there since 1992.. well see how long they last because with now 21 reviews and an empty restaurant I dont think itll be there in the future unless this is what people think or call as "good" Chinese food.. I did find a decent Chinese spot in Columbia Asean Bistro. Food has good flavor and I've tried several other dishes and its cured my Chinese food cravings. read more

This is very good Chinese fast food....there isn't much choice in Ellicott city... They do a nice job... Looks like a family business.....which we should support ! read more

Great little Chinese carry out, and the prices are reasonable

Typical Chinese food, I usually order from here, but the last time I order Lo Mein, I got food poisoning, so be careful what you order

Keep in mind this is a Chinese takeout not a real sit down restaurant. I had Kung Pao Shrimp and a spring roll. The dish was not spicy at all, had way too many celery stalks and huge chunks of green pepper. I only counted five shrimp and this was the dinner portion. On the contrary the rest of the crew ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken, a portion size to feed an army. It was mostly chicken and very little fillers. The Spring Rolls were simply filled with shredded cabbage. Overall this was a mediocre meal at best! Not too impressed. I think we will stick to PF Changs curb side. read more

Best Chinese I had in this area (Ellicott City). I recently started working in this area and I needed to find a Chinese spot quick! I LOVE the spring rolls. I've had the general tso's, its pretty decent. Hunan Chicken is good, but too much veggies, not enough chicken. The shrimp lo mein is great. The taste of the food is good. I am picky when it comes to Chinese Food, but they have surely passed my test. Great prices on lunch specials and quick service. read more

Best in the area! Always gets the order right and the food is spectacular!! I won't get Chinese food anywhere else once I found this place. Delicious! read more

They gave me the wrong order and I live 30 minutes away. When I told her about this on the phone they didn't even apologize.

Best general tso chicken in Maryland. If you decide on a take out night, this is the place to go. I'd say you should think about what to get, but in reality, just get the general tso chicken. All the other items are quite good as far as "average" chinese food, but, I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else, now that Panda Buffet is closed. read more

This is the only chinese take out we come to. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because we always get the same thing: Gen Tso's chicken, chicken fried rice, shrimp fried rice and chicken lo mein. We haven't tried other dishes so I don't know about them. My four kids absolutely love it! It's good food, ready in about 15 minutes, price is good, especially on nights when you don't want fast food and don't have time to cook. The employees are super friendly and its a clean nice place. Just know, there are 2 Fast Woks, the other is in Clarksville. Same name, but the food is prepared very differently. read more

That was the worst Chinese take out I've ever had. One of the dishes had at least an inch of oil in it. We ordered three dishes, one pork, one chicken, one tofu and somehow they had the same flavor. My expectations weren't high but they still fell short. read more
