I was expecting to walk into a restaurant but nope they have window service Which I found odd but okay. I ordered the pork dumplings for 8.00 and that included tax. The woman at the window was friendly and my wait time was literally five minutes . They came out piping hot and fresh. I'm born&raised in New York so I've had a life time of trips to China Town. While these dumplings were good they weren't as good as other dumplings I've had here . Having said all this I'd go back and try something else. read more

I have given this place chance after chance after chance and today was my last straw. I always order the same thing. It's always Kung pow chicken today was my birthday. I ordered delivery. It did arrive timely and hot but the flavors of the Kung pow chicken were gross and the crab ragoons were uneditable due to how fishy they were. I have yet to find a great Chinese place here in Lexington and I am very disappointed that Goldenwok has again let me down. Also, I'm not paying almost 8$ for half of my food to be celery! read more

Golden Wok - Kung pao chicken, half of my meal was celery. - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

While we love their food, they are still asking customers to wait outside for their food. It would be nice if they would consider opening it up a bit for customers to wait inside... especially during inclement weather. Completely understand not wanting to have table service. read more

Orders Hunan Chicken and Chicken shrimp with veggies requests both extra spicy , we could barely taste any spice , not allot of flavor .

Mother came in to make sure she gave them the correct amount, she had realized they charged her less and wanted to make sure they got all their money. Because they're racist, the girl at the counter became hostile as soon as she mentioned money, even though she was trying to help their own mistake and give them more money. read more

Delicious and full of flavor and culture! Ordered delivery and food was delivered on time and still warm/intact. I decided to try out a dish called Da Chien chicken, which led me down an interesting rabbit hole of research to uncover the dish's origins and how Chinese food was brought to America and to Japan. So tasty and wonderful, will be ordering here again soon. read more

Great food never disappointed with staff and food not a long wait at all. General tasos is always my favorite

The food here is very common. It's not special in any way really. I really like the Chicken on a Stick appetizer. They are grilled to perfection and marinated in a salty marinade. The combos are a good value but you don't get as much rice as with the dinner. ***Where they really shine is DELIVERY!!!*** It's like they are magic or something. We don't know how they do it. They are ALWAYS busy and somehow when we order they show up in the blink of eye! It's amazing. I am going to time them sometime because it seems like 5 minutes and they show up at my door. We love that! read more

Got lunch special of General Tso's Chicken. Hardly any sauce on the chicken, the lo mein was also very dry. The chicken was not hot and spicy. It was very bland. We did take out and they forgot the silverware, then argued that it was in the bag even after I told them we checked twice. Was very disappointed in the food quality as it used to be very good. It used to come with lots of sauce and usually a couple of pieces of steamed broccoli. We won't be back since price went up and quality went down.​ read more

Good is always hot and excellent. They keep saying my delivery would be in 30-45 minutes but 10 minutes later they show up with exactly what i ordered. I have ko idea how they do it, but they do it! (It may be because i only live a block away but still, they are VERY fast!) and super friendly. I really like these people! read more

Cold food. Wrong order. Extra expensive. Such a disappointment. I wish there was a silver lining.

Only 1-2 people are allowed in here at a time. It's basically an enclosed order window instead of a sit down restaurant. The lady taking orders is very friendly and approachable, and my food came out quickly. The prices are great, and my food was still scorching hot when I got home. I had the sweet and sour chicken combination plate with the egg roll and pork fried rice. The chicken is tender, and the rice is flavorful and loaded with vegetables. The egg roll has just the right amount of crisp, and tastes the way an egg roll should. I will definitely order from here again! read more

Golden Wok - a tray of food and a cup of coffee - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I would definitely recommend Golden Wok!!!! I ordered 2 boxes of shrimp fried rice with no vegetables and had it delivered to our suite. Delivery time: 25 minutes. Food accuracy: I asked for no vegetables but received them but I think my background was a bit loud and hard for her to hear me clearly. I called to inform her of the error and she sent me out a fresh order right away. The food was hot and super delicious Rate: 100/100!!!! Give it a try!!! read more

It has been a long time since I ate Chinese buffet. Here there is a very large selection including salad bar, and desserts ( did not eat those) and hot foods. I thought most of the Chinese dishes tasted similar as most used the same sauce and seasonings. The buffet was restocked with hot food while I was there. The egg roll was good and there was sushi on the cold bar. I had all I could eat for 11.99 but not sure I will return very soon. read more

So I was trying to go to another Chinese restaurant but ended up here by default. This is a good place. Sooooooo much better than Panda Express We tried the Hot n Sour soup... it was good and just enough quantity to hit the spot but not fill us up. For main dishes, the three of us ordered sesame chicken and Mongolian beef. Both came with white rice and then we also ordered chicken lowmein to go along. The sesame chicken was succulent and looked beautiful! The best thing was it wasn't overly sweet. The Mongolian beef was juicy and not chewy and had a good aroma and plenty of spring onions! Low Mein was ok. I'm assuming it's run by a husband n wife team. The service was quick.. a bit too quick because we were still on Soup when they brought out our food. Also, the lady needs to work on her customer service skills. The bill for 3 soup bowls, the food described above and 3 sodas was a kind $39... not bad! 2 people can easily share an entree. read more

We were so disappointed it's certainly not the quality of food that it used to be When we lived on that side of town, we would order there weekly and we were very happy with it we were back on that side of town, babysitting grandchildren, and every single dish was terrible I guess all things change. read more

They are still pick up and take out only, but thats what I wanted. The Mongolian Beef had some real kick to it, it was great. Won Ton soup always comforting, it was great too. People were extremely freindly. I'll be back read more

It's alright fr the chicken was a little weird textured for me personally but the flavors were all there and the little walk up counter is such a smart idea I don't wanna go in a restaurant to order PERIOD read more

With 4/5 states previous to this review I figured Golden Wok must be a fine place to grab Chinese food.. but it cool couldn't be further from the truth. I have never had such a bad case of food poisoning in all of my time. For reference. I got a chicken dish. read more

This place is awesome, and the food is wonderful. fresh. fresh. fresh. The flavors were incredible on the egg foo yung. Lunch for 2 with apps was $38. worth every penny and they deliver themselves. definitely our go-to Chinese delivery. Good job Golden wok!!!! read more

I've been here several times and every time the service and the food have been exceptional and fast. I usually get the general Tso's chicken. It's more than enough food and I usually have it for lunch the next day. Interesting to note that while there is a large dining area I never see anyone sitting in it. read more

Golden Wok - I'm not who enjoys takeout more. Us or the cat. - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I've never had a bad meal here. I've only ordered takeout and most orders take around 10 minutes to complete. Great food!

Coming with obviously hungry and tired kids and a full 40 minutes before their supposed closing time of 10:30 pm they unceremoniously said that unless we were picking up take out they wouldn't serve us! #bad As a business owner I encourage their owner to review these practices with this employee. No matter how good their food is all their efforts go to heck by behaviors like this. read more

Golden Wok - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

It is pretty good Americanized Chinese food, and Golden Wok delivers so that is a plus. I love their soups and their pork egg foo yung. I personally love their chicken chow mein too. Fyi, the veggies are a little overcooked. Another plus is that Golden Wok gives you plenty of food! read more

Consistently good. Doing take-out for over three years, and we've never been disappointed. Portions are large.

First time eating here. Upon entrance it looks like any other small, cheap, Chinese to-go restaurant. No big qualms there. It fit the bill for what I was looking for. I was greeted by the young lady working the counter, but for some reason perhaps she wasn't having a great day, She was very impatient during my selection and came off a bit rude...nonetheless, I ordered the General Tso's lunch combo and was told it would be a ten minute wait. When I came back to get the food it was FRESH! And delicious! I was blown away by the quality. Totally worth the wait and the seemingly unfriendly counter girl. Great prices too for the amount of food that you're given. I'm giving them a 5-star rating on the basis that everyone has bad days, so I'm willing to let it go based on the fact that their food was unbelievable and she seemed to have perked up on my return. :D read more

Golden Wok - Golden Wok restaurant front. - Chinese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

General Tso chicken was tough and chewy, every piece--the standard frozen substandard breaded chicken where they glop sauce on top and bam, there's your general Tso chicken. Also ordered sesame chicken--it was the same sauce with sesame seeds on top. The general Tso was not spicy at all, more like a sticky oversweet BBQ sauce. While I was very hungry, I could only eat about a third and had to spit out some of the gristley unchewable pieces. The fried rice was bright yellow rice-a-roni and had just a small scattering of peas carrots and so forth. There were exactly two pieces of broccoli per entree, one piece split in half. My son wanted to go to Panda Express but I insisted on this place based on the good yelp reviews. That was a mistake and my son was right. The egg rolls were OK and the hot&sour soup was passable. I kind of expected forks/napkins or chopsticks would be included in bag, but none were. Lots of soy sauce and duck sauce were included along with fortune cookies and two very dry sugar cookies (dessert?). To their credit the food was all hot, prepared quickly and cheap. The most critical element of a chicken dish is the chicken--chewy and gristle-laden dried out chicken that was obviously just a frozen mix does not cut it. read more

First Chinese place down here and I'm already like wow! I saw the reviews and I still think this food was better than the places I use to live. The food came out fast and hot. The rice was so amazing. The egg roll was kinda small but who cares because they had orange chicken on the lunch menu. Which I've never seen before! I'll be eating here more down the line. read more

One of the best Chinese places in Lexington! (Although, there are a few) I order here quite regularly and the people are always polite, the food is always pipping hot and delicious, delivery is always fast. I've never had a bad experience with Golden Wok. Any time I order Chinese, it's almost always Golden Wok. I primarily order General Tso's, Sesame Chicken and Egg Drop Soup. read more
