First meal on the UES wanted some comfort Chinese and Fresh Wok made that happen. Easy online ordering, easy pickup, good prices, and the lady at the counter was very nice! Will be back. read more

Portions are generous for what you pay for and always flavorful. I like the variety of options they offer from Hawaiian musubi to crab Rangoon! Lunch specials are a hit for a group lunch. The place is more of a takeout as the dining area is small so it's best for delivery or pickup. read more

I believe this place to be the best delivery Chinese place I have ever used in the 30+ years I have been ordering Manhattan Chinese. I've never walked in the door but I've driven by it. It's unimpressive looking but the food arrives quickly, hot, and delicious. And the prices are very reasonable. read more

Totally delightful. They use fresh ingredients presented with attention to detail. The employees maintain cheerful dispositions. They don't waste time, nor do they skimp on flavor. We felt a genuine connection here. read more

This is still our go-to. The food is prepared very quickly, the prices are amazing, and the portions very generous. The hidden gem is the wonton soup which is a steal for the quality - the meat filling is quite generous and the flavor is on-point. The General Tso's chicken and eggplant with beef or chicken generally make it into the order, along with the shrimp with lobster sauce. PLUS, their rice is among the best in the area - perfectly cooked and fluffy. read more

Don't aspect a grand entrance. The interior is small and outdated, and will not review interior but the customer service and food. We mainly order take out from the establishment and normally have the lunch specials. Their food always fresh and tasty. For all the years our take out orders are good. The food is tasty and pricing very well. The customer service are friendly and courteous. read more

Great food and service! Super fast delivery. Definitely a go to spot when you're feeling for quality restaurant style food .

The food here is always great and fresh. My go to spot after a long day. Thank you for providing such good food

If I could give negative stars, I would! Ordered the lunch special shrimp with broccoli, plain fried rice, and will never order there again. The shrimp wasn't fresh, and the broccoli was cooked just past raw. Anybody who eats raw vegetables knows that it keeps you full for hours. I ate this lunch at 1PM, stomach still felt full at 9PM, and I had used the bathroom at least three times, trying to get that food out of my stomach. A horrible experience, the worst $9.55 I've ever spent. read more

Good Chinese food in the upper east side is hard to find. This place is no exception. Food mediocre at best. The delivery is fast and the prices are cheap for the area but the taste is just not there. Skip it. read more

This place is a joke. It is an insult that on the Upper East Side of Manhattan there are no decent Chinese takeouts. The woman who answers the phone is a Chinese Hitler. She answers, does not say hello, and put the phone down as you here this sorry excuse for a human take in-person orders. Good luck ordering on a weekend. The delivery boy is the reason AI was invented. Absent in every way. The sad thing is their wontons are delicious. Everything else is hit or miss and definitely not worth the drama of trying to order. read more

Disappointed. Ordered Beef with vegetables, medium spicy. Came with no spice, very bland.I had a negative review on Google 3 years ago. Can't review again...interesting. More disappointments lately. Called, got an apology Will think next time before ordering. read more

They Wok, I mean they Rock. Best deal on the Upper East Side since 5 Luck closed down. You got try there lunch special. I had chicken with garlic sauce and eggplant and Nonet had beef with mixed veggies. They were both great and very inexpensive since we had the lunch special. They also have Hawaiian food which we will try next time for dinner. You don't have to go through any overpriced delivery service and I suggest a good tip for the man who brings it as it is colder than H-E double hockey sticks out there now. Don't order from anywhere else. They wok! read more

B rating on window. Floor is worn and cracked tiles. Dingy pictures of the food above the register area. The few tables and chairs they have look like they should be thrown in a dumpster. This place is the epitome of a hole in the wall locals Chinese food joint. Almost looks dirty to me but was actually clean as they were mopping and taking care of the place as I walked in. I normally don't eat here much but last night was looking aound to try something different. I saw Fresh Wok and thought I'd give it a try. They have a wildly diverse menu. The standard Americanized Chinese offerings, lunch specials, etc. Burgers and fries? Yup. Hawaiian BBQ? Yup! Lots of Hawaiian plates such as BBQ chicken, beef, porkchop, and shrimp katsu. Combo platters. Sandwiches and salads too. I ended up with a "Health Plate" of BBQ Chicken that came with steamed broccoli, snow peas, string beans, a scoop of macaroni salad, and three scoops of rice. You get a ton of food here for $6.99! Cheap. Tasted ok and intrigued me to come back and try out something else. Plus, they have Spam Musubi here! read more

Fresh Wok - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

The lunch specials and crab rangoons are great. Been getting take out from here for 4 years now. The first time I ordered from here, I was craving Hawaiian food and saw they had the plates on their menu. It wasn't great so I decided to try the fake Chinese food and that hit the spot. It's a no-frills joint and I like that. read more

The short: multiple food poisoning. The longer: I used to be a regular at fresh wok 6-7 years ago, going at least 4-8x a month, but quality noticeably changed around 3-4 years ago and has never been right since. Orders are often wrong, drenched in sauce when asked for light or the wrong kind of rice or missing egg rolls or soup etc. this is frustrating but when the foods cheap, you hope this is the worst of the problem. A couple years ago, I started feeling super queasy whenever I ordered from here, more than usual and almost always from the sesame chicken. I finally got food poisoning and said enough was enough. Fast forward 2 years and I thought I'd give them another shot. Don't ask me why, but UES chinese takeout is awful, and a far cry from other great dives around the city. But here I go, ordering my guilty pleasure of Sesame chicken with friend rice again. I kid you not, I experienced one of the worst bouts of food poisonings imaginable. Food goes in, your soul comes out. I don't understand how this place stays open. In a time of pandemic when every ache and sneeze is questioned like the plague, do yourself a favor and steer clear of this sanitation/health nightmare. read more

My Chinese mother would scoff at me ordering inauthentic American Chinese food but it hits the spot. Anyway, lunch specials are a good deal here. Big portions of beef and broccoli and pepper steak with onions for a reasonable price. Maybe not a regular thing for me but I want to drown myself in it when I get the craving. read more

Quick, easy, well priced. It's takeout American Chinese food. Get the lunch special/combo and be on your way.

This is my new go-to Chinese delivery place. I was a bit adrift after my last place changed hands but this place has fast delivery, reasonable prices and, best of all, GREAT food. read more

This is my new fav spot for junky Americanized Chinese food. Obviously it's not gourmet stuff, but if you want some General Tso in sweet red sauce with fried rice or wontons filled with cream cheese, this spot hits the spot. The Hawaiian-style "lighter" options are also decent (BBQ shrimp or chicken). I'm going to guess that there's some MSG in the Chinese food since I knock out after eating, but you don't eat junky Chinese takeout for your health. Lunch specials and small Hawaiian plates are around $6 which is cheap compared to the Chinese places in the E70-80's. Portion sizes are also generous for the price. The lady who takes delivery orders is brusque, but she gets my orders right so she's alright by me. read more

please dont go here! 1 star is too high of a rating. there was a fried roach/grasshopper in my food. i called to let them know and the women didnt show remorse she just sent the delivery man back with my money! do not order!!!!!!! read more

We are new to this neighborhood and looking for a good place to order Chinese food from. Luckily, we decided to try out Fresh Wok as the General Tsao chicken was the best I've ever had! I strongly recommend this meal from Fresh Wok and will order it again in the future. read more

I've had very low expectations for Chinese food on the UES as I've been let down quite a few times. So when I walked into Fresh Wok and saw how affordable the food was, I figured I'd be tasting more of the same. I was wrong! I ordered about $35 worth of food and the bag weighed what felt like a hefty 5lbs. Definitely not what I was expecting for the price. I rushed home eager to see if it was worth my hype and once I opened that container and got my first whiff of orange chicken, I knew it was going to be good! The orange chicken, general tso's chicken and crab Rangoon are great! (for the price) read more

The calorie/dollar ratio is quite high. The deliciousness/dollar ratio still doesn't make it quite worth it. The "beef" had a slightly off taste to it, though the chicken was ok. The macaroni salad has an oily slickness to it. Spam in the spam musibi is a little hard to find since the product is about 95% rice. I understand the allure of affordability but is it even affordable if tastes so meh that you dont finish everything and order from a different place to supplement your meal? read more

Fresh Wok - Spam musibi. Can you spot the spam ? - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

I think my new years resolution is going in a totally different direction from normal people.We are not even through January yet and I have eaten the most greasiest meals in these fast few days and I keep promising myself that its gonna be the last and I will go on an all juice diet. from the next day....Last night was one of those days again.I walk into Fresh Wok.I couldn't help peeking into their kitchen and it looked quite clean..The phone was constantly ringing for take out and delivery orders .Its weird I always thought this place was not so busy. I got their vegetable Lo Mein with egg.It was $6 and change.Not bad I say.Not as greasy as some of the other chinese places I have been to lately.And also he had thrown in tons of vegetables and for once u get actually see chunks of the scrambled egg.The portion size was small that what I am used to...but hey it was great quality.I need to come back and try out couple other things before I give it a 4 star. And they have A Rating now....see I told you their kitchen looked clean read more

Not too shabby... I was staying on the UES for a couple of days. I don't normally hangout in these parts of the city, but it was a good adventure. If you are craving Chinese Food a good price. This is the place. Not only is it cheap, but pretty tasty as well. They don't just have your typical General Tso's, Sweet & Sour and Pu Pu Platters. They actually have Hawaiian BBQ as well. This is something I need to try when I go back to the area. MUSUBI anyone!? They have it there too!!! read more

Average Chinese food from a "hole-in-the-wall" place on the UES. I've tried a few "hole-in-the-wall" places in the area and it' always the same - average, cheap, large portions. I would be just as inclined to walk in here than I would Guang Ming across the street. These types of places all deserve 2 stars because its typical, nothing desirable about it, low-grade Chinese food. If you want cheap, quick Chinese food for lunch it's ok. If you want solid, great Chinese food for dinner than go eat at Wa Jeal. Trust me. read more

I frequent this place pretty often, so when I was greeted with a poor attitude I was pretty surprised. The same girl that helped me find my nose ring one night is overpricing me thinking I wouldn't look at the menu.. How can a boneless rib combo with a soda cost 9.50? I've never heard of that.. Then of course there is yelling and she raises her voice at me while I am talking in a monotone voice, being that it's 10pm and I had a busy day.. So while she's yelling one of her drivers comes in and they're standing there in front of my food while they are packing it to go. All I hear are spitting sounds and I see the man coming out of the kitchen, wiping his mouth with a napkin and looking at me from the corner of his eye. I am calling the health department on them to shut them down. They cannot do this to people. They can have my 10.00 because that food is in the trash where it belongs. read more

We have ordered-in numerous times. I think it's the best one around me, there is another that I don't like. I have dined in this Chinese spot once before and it's pretty small in there. Their steamed dumplings are always good. Their chicken nuggets are sometimes yummy, but too greasy. Chicken with broccoli always yummy. Sometimes I get their steamed chicken with broccoli - few times they over steam it. They have $4.95 lunch specials which is a great price, it includes soda. This is a typical chinese food take out spot. read more

Its ok? I like the chicken with broccoli and they dont charge you for brown rice with the lunch special/ combo plates. However I ordered pork dumplings and ive never seen pinkish pork.... idk I feel its more mystery meat or those Hawaiian spices? Idk man. I do like the fact that they're "doughy". But overall its aight. DON'T GET THE WONTON SOUP! DON'T DO IT! read more

Terrible customer service. Grub hub does not allow you to make specifications for lunch special. My meal defaulted to pork fried rice. I've ordered from here before and never had this issue. I called to ask to resolve the situation and the lady on the phone started yelling at me that it was my fault before promptly cutting me off and hanging up on me. She didn't want to adjust a $7 lunch special, proceeded to YELL at me and has now lost a previously loyal customer read more

This place is like any another Chinese restaurant except the food taste much better here. Its not as greasy and there is decent amount of vegetables in their dishes. Their portion sizes are good. I get their lunch special often and its always consistent. At $5.80 its hard to go wrong.Fresh Wok is my go to Chinese place in the city. read more

such good food and service! they are always doing such a good job packing everything and delivery is an amazing perk!

I only order from them because it's the only cheap Chinese restaurant around. The food is cold sometimes other than that I won't order when they open they tend to give over night food. I know this because I had it. read more

Best Chinese (fast food) I've had on the upper east side and I've tried multiple places. Quick delivery as well...love the rib tips

Whenever I feel like I've had too much to drink, Fresh Wok is always there to make it all better with its mystery meats and noodles. Granted, the boneless spare ribs, crab rangoons, crispy fried chicken and rice might not be the healthiest options at midnight, but it makes everything better instantly, until the next morning.... Their lunch specials are the best bang for your buck in the area. For $5.65 you get a mound of food, which can easily be split up into three portions, and an egg roll, soup, OR soda. You can't beat that. I moved to the neighborhood last year and have been a regular ever since. My go to dish at the moment are the boneless spare ribs, sweet and tangy. The chow fun is great, too. It's like you're eating layered dumplings. Heroe to the fried chicken, after you devour all the meat, gotta suck and gnaw on the bone to get all the flavor. Now to the crab rangoons, this little 'empanadas' are stuffed with cream cheese and some crab product shipped from science knows where, but they're so yummy. They come with a sweet and sour sauce that I drizzle on everything. I usually order for pick up since it's so close to my place, but have ordered delivery on a couple of occasions, and boy they are fast and efficient. Every time I have guests over with the munchies, I always suggest this place and they leave my apartment with a huge grin and serious case of the itis. This place simply woks my socks. read more

While my friend was ordering i spotted a HUGE DEAD ROACH on its back right next to my foot. We looked at the grade on the window, it said pending... about half hour later we were passing by the store and magically the grade became an A! GO FIGURE!!! Be weary when eating here! read more

Some of the best french fries in the city; not soggy very crispy. With all honesty im very picky about my Chinese food spots and I came home and felt very sure I would review them. They're much better than the place across the street. Tried their Hawaiian selection and it was delicious plus it was fresh, try the Hawaiian bbq chicken. Definitely going back to try other foods from there. Staff was helpful as well. read more

I know this is going to sound bad but I order here at least once a week. It's my guilty pleasure. I'm glad I found this place and glad they deliver. Their always fast and their food is simply amazing! Oh look at the time.. Time to order read more
