Be careful and double-check the prices you're being charged here. The menu board clearly lists the Special Bowl for $7.99, but I was originally charged about $3 more than the advertised price. When I pointed out the price discrepancy to the cashier, she lowered the price by $1, but she still did not charge me the advertised $7.99 price. My receipt ended up showing $9.07. What bothered me most is that even after I specifically pointed out that the price did not match what was posted on their menu board, I was still charged more. Just be aware when paying and make sure you double-check your receipt against the prices displayed on their menu. Tengan cuidado y revisen bien los precios que les están cobrando en este lugar. En el menú aparece claramente que el Special Bowl cuesta $7.99, pero originalmente me cobraron aproximadamente $3 más del precio anunciado. Cuando le señalé a la cajera que el precio no coincidía, bajó el precio $1, pero aun así no me cobró los $7.99 que aparecían en el menú. Al final, mi recibo mostraba un precio de $9.07. Lo que más me molestó fue que, incluso después de señalarle específicamente que el precio no coincidía con el que estaba anunciado en el menú, todavía me cobraron de más. Tengan esto en cuenta al momento de pagar y asegúrense de revisar su recibo y comparar lo que les cobran con los precios que aparecen en el menú read more

I had a very uncomfortable experience here. The lady working was extremely rude and unprofessional. When I politely asked about samples, she responded, "Don't ask me," which I found very disrespectful. The way I was treated made me feel unwelcome and discriminated against, and I personally felt there may have been racial bias involved. No customer should be made to feel uncomfortable simply for asking a question. I definitely will not be returning, and I hope management takes customer service and respectful treatment of all customers more seriously. read more

For takeout Chinese food this place is solid. Obvious local favorite based on the crowd. Orange chicken and teriyaki chicken are the favorites. Healthy portions too. read more

This little hidden gem is actually on point with their chinese food. Mind you, Panda Express is just down the way from same plaza, but, this chinese spot is a great competitor. First off, the place is kept clean, not crowded, there are seats to sit at, but all tables have been placed away. This place is more for take-out than dine-in. It's true what others have stated; the serving portions are very generous and they definitely overfill that container to-go. Too much that it may pop off open if you are not careful at closing it well. Best part, the prices are reasonable for what they serve you. My order included orange chicken, rice and chow mein. The orange chicken was very good, flavorful and not too greasy. The chow mein noodles are a little on the thicker side and orange color, noodles were cooked right and tasted really good. The fried rice was also very good, it included egg mixed in there as well. The food was tolerated well by my stomach and did not make it upset at all. They must use good oils when cooking. Fast service and line moves along pretty quick, this is a go-to when you are craving chinese food at a cheaper prices vs. the other competitor. give them a try if you are in the area next time. read more

Most chinese places give you so much food that barely fits in the plate yes? yes. this place is not the exception big portions and very flavorful, what makes this place special? and above the others? PRICE!! can not go wrong with $7 bowl and $8.99 plate with 2 items like WTF that's a great deal for good food. they got a new customer now. read more

Me and my family have been coming here for awhile now and we noticed that last few times the orange chicken has been really hard. Usually we eat our leftovers the next day but, warming up the orange chicken becomes even harder and it's just thrown away. I hope they make it like before because this was the main reason why we liked this place. read more

Im not a huge fan of fast Chinese food but if I would choose a place near my home this would be my go-to spot. Hole in the wall type of vibe, pleasant and yummy. Location is easily found at a plaza. There is also a Panda Express at this plaza, make sure you come here instead! Food with lots of flavor, plentiful portions and very affordable. There are many options to select from, there is also a menu with separate items from the buffet style selection you see when you walk-in. For those items, you can place the order over the phone or wait a few minutes when you are there. I like that they have soup options as well as party packs. It is a very convenient spot! Inside seating does not seem to be available anymore, after covid. Clean ambiance inside. Employees are friendly and quick here. I'd recommend checking this place out for some chinese! read more

It's interesting how Yelp reviews go. If a restaurant is super friendly, a restaurant usually get rated 4-5 stars on Yelp. It usually means that the service good, but the food might not be. I was at this busy shopping center and I couldn't help but notice the steady stream of people getting food at this Chinese-American takeout spot. I checked Yelp and was curious why this Chinese-American restaurant had 4 stars on Yelp while neighboring Panda Express has only two stars. You walk in and the set up is like Panda Express. You have a steam table where you can choose a bowl or two-item combos. I went with the two-item combo with orange chicken and beef with broccoli as I wanted to compare the orange chicken to Panda Express and get some broccoli for lunch. You can choose your two entrees with either fried rice, chow mein, or both. The orange chicken here is lousy. Panda Express makes a superior orange chicken especially when made fresh out of their kitchen. The beef and broccoli was good, but they gave me more brocolli and a few pieces of beef. My favorite was their chow mein which is probably more superior than Panda Express. I would know for sure with a side-by-side comparison. I enjoyed the al dente feel and bite of their noodles. If I were to come back, I would only get the chow mein, a vegetable dish, and a protein which would not be their orange chicken. Their orange chicken seemed more soggy, smaller bread her pieces of that makes sense, and less crisp than Panda Express. Reason for the four stars at Flaming Wok. Based on my experience it's because your food is piled high inside the styrofoam box. People seem to like their generous portion sizes. The service isn't chatty or super friendly. You tell them what you want, pay, and be on your way. If you like Americanized Chinese food and generous portion sizes, this place is worth a try. A $10 2-item combo is sharable for two people if you're not too hungry and is a bang-for-your-buck meal in Arleta. read more

This place was awesome! Great for quick Chinese food. No indoor seating, but the food is fresh--that fried rice and noodles totally reminded me of our childhood spot! Huge portions--two of us couldn't even finish a two-item combo. Service was super fast, too; they handled a long line in a flash. This is my new go-to, for sure. read more

Very good and amazing portions. Orange chicken is very juicy and has a nice zing to it. Service is very nice and friendly. They are also pretty fast. Wish i can eat inside the restaurant but scarfing down the food in my car is acceptable. read more

Hole in the wall place in a very busy plaza with plenty of parking. There's chairs to sit but the tables are taped all together. It's more of a take out rather than dine in place. Their service here is really fast and the workers are nice. They give a lot of food for what you pay for. Would come back here again. read more

I drive by this place often and from the street, it doesn't look like much, I decided to try this place out, place was nicer and cleaner than I expected, but it was takeout only, no dining table, the food was good and the portion was huge! The container barely closes, and the prices was cheaper than other Chinese places, this place was always packed with customers, the service was friendly and professional. read more

Good, not great food. Good prices. Huge portions. Line was out the door. The BIG issues here is that all there tables and chairs are taped off so it's take out only. read more

Best Chinese food I've ever had and VERY generous with their servings. Will forever be my go-to spot!

First time here and its also the last time I will ever come to this place again. I was craving Chinese food and came across this place , They don't clean the shrimp. The pepper shrimp still have the waste in them and 2 hours after eating the food i was trowing up gave me food poisoning. Never again coming here. read more

The older chinese lady was really impolite. She's trying to give me some of the old fried chicken while I wait for a fresh batch. I informed her, "You're giving me the old ones, even though I patiently waited for the new ones?" She gave me so much attitude and was really rude to me. Bad customer service. Never coming back! read more

When you're starving and need your Chinese food fix, go to one of these mom and pop, hole in the wall spots, not that other overrated place with the black and white bear. They usually stack it to the ceiling which is what you want, or is it just me? If you get half and half (rice and chow mein,) just remember it's more like 80% rice and 40% chow mein. (I know that doesn't add up but trust me, when they serve you, you'll know exactly what I mean.) Let's keep it real, it's moreso quantity over quality at these type of spots. For the price, (about $11), you can't go wrong. read more

If you're looking for the BEST Chinese fast-food/restaurant experience ever, this place is it. The food is insanely good -- every dish is packed with flavor, super fresh, and honestly better than any other spot around. The portions are unbelievable too; they don't hold back at all. You definitely get your money's worth!!! read more

This place gives hefty portions, the box barely closes! Food is good. Service was fast despite the line. There are tables and chairs inside but they are stacked up so no option to dine in. Plenty of parking in the shopping center. read more

This is my very favorite Chinese food place! Extremely good food at an incredibly affordable price. They are SO nice, please dont let negative reviews skew your impression of these people. I've been going here for a long time and they've become very friendly with me, but have to deal with some people who will try to order and not pay but take the food anyways. Once you order and can't pay, they cant put anything back so it's a huge waste of food and money. Yet, they've never complained. The food is always good quality and the portions are HUGE!! I recommend their veggie rolls (let them know at the beginning of your order incase they have to make more!). They always make whatever you want if its low, but nothing is ever low usually. My favorite plate is half fried rice half chow mein, and a double serving of kung pao chicken. My fiance and mom usually both get the orange chicken which they love. I love this place and hope they stay around for a long time :) The inside is super cute too. No seating but it's always been worth standing in line! Just be ready to smell all that good food while you wait! read more

They pack a lot of food and for cheap as well. They dnt have a menu but everything is there to see and i do recommend the chicken mushroom and even the fried chicken is bomb! Only issue I have is the female Latina staff she's rude and and not welcoming as if she is bothered to be working there but only acts rude to female customers not the males !!!might want to fix that or remove her since she seems to be unhappy serving paying female customers read more

My favorite Chinese food spot. They give very generous portions of their food at unbeatable prices. A true pillar of the community in my opinion. read more

Food is great! Service is terrible. The owner is the spitefull. So please avoid coming here 30 minutes before closing or you too will be treated poorly. Unless you are a man. For context. The older Chinese lady lets call her RUDE. Will quite literally ignore you. For example tonight's mishap. All started while I was being served by the Hispanic lady her employee. I placed an order of 3. For myself and my two daughter. She decides to asser her abuse in power and skip over her and scoop up the serving I had just asked for and give it to the MAN behind me! When I ask why she did that she would not answer me. When I asked her name she ignored me. I said it's closing time and I was ahead of the line. Mind you there still 2 other people behind me. And although I can understand being in a hurry to go home. The blatant disrespect and disregard for a mothers and her child's well being is purely evil. Today's incident just reminded why I I've tried to avoid this place. Because of the woman hating misogynistic owner and her despicable display of poor customer service. Sadly I'm forced to come here Atleast twice a year when my daughter comes home for the holidays from college. She swears that no other Chinese restaurant has as good spicy chicken wings As for the ambience it's mediocre at best. There are no tables for dining in. They quit providing that service during Covid. It's just good food, poor customer service & a money grab. I'd give it one star if it wasn't for the wings read more

ordered the chow mien, broccoli beef, & shrimp with veggies. the portions are VERY generous! small hole in the wall type of place, you can sit down to eat. sometimes there is a line but i don't have to wait longer than 15 minutes to be served. read more

Please make orange chicken more crispy, it's usually soggy, chow-mein is very good, it's always busy and clean great atmosphere

This review is long overdue. My husband and I moved into the area over 16 years ago and this place either opened a few years after that or we noticed it a few yrs after. In any case. It's been our go to spot for delicious, comforting Chinese food. It is always packed and for good reason. The food is fresh, delicious, good sized portions and decently priced. We recently ordered trays for a party and it was a hit. So many people asked us where we ordered from. They have a few tables to sit down but in all the yrs we've been going there they've never been available to use but that's never been an issue for us. Everyone orders it to go or places their order ahead of time. Our go tos are the beef broccoli, teriyaki chicken, orange chicken, chicken and shrimp fried rice but all the other items are very tasty too. The service is good and they keep the restaurant very clean. read more

It was delicious and with huge quantity of food . Customer services is friendly and nice . Great food for a great price . Love it .

Got some wings catered for the week 1 opening NFL games and they were fire! 10/10 a whole tray for 80$ Asian spice bone in about 100pcs.

This place is a gem you definitely get your moneys worth have to wait in line for about maybe 15 minutes but it's definitely worth it great food and they are quick you won't find another place like this I promise you that , no sitting in the area but ambiance gives off old school place like back in the day which is cool but this nest enjoyed at ya place of comfort my wife put me on this place, thanks flaming wok and thx wifey read more

Cute mom and pop shop! Better than panda express. Hands down. They literally STUFF the box til it's oozing out and doesn't close all the way. And the combo (with 2 items) is only $9!!!!!!!! Will definitely feed you for 2-3 meals. Inflation proof much?? The flavor of the food is delicious!! So many diff options and the orange chicken is AMAZING. crispy and flavorful and not too heavy on the orange flavor. They also have some seafood options and don't upcharge it like panda does. Their chicken wings are massive as well and you get a good amount per combo. They also have catering that is so affordable! Note that they only do takeout. read more

Fast friendly service, it's hard to find this place but the beef chow fun was delish.

Small place /hole in the wall in the plaza. There is no seating so be prepared to get it to go. The device was quick and efficient. The food was piled on. Barely able to close the lid so they don't skimp out on the portions. I do wish they would ease back on the rice although it was seasoned. That was it would be more room for the other sides. The chowmein noodles were different than what I'm used to. Orange in color and more on the soft/soggy side. Not the best. The other sides were ok as well. The orange chicken was good. Sweet sticky with a slight crunch. 1 of the combo plates will feed 3 adults. Worth it if your on a budget read more

Great food, good prices, amazing taste. Can't go wrong here, I will definitely be back. read more
