NEBS REVIEW: Ordered carry-out. First timers. Was expected much better. Overall, every was dry and almost tasteless. Husband ordered SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN. No pineapples, green peppers to be found. I ordered Broccoli& Shrimp. Broccoli was to hard to chew. Pork Egg Foo Yung left much to be desired. Very, very dry and came with very thin sauce, nit pork gravy as we are used to receiving else. Shrimp Egg Rolls had only one tiny piece of shrimp, and mostly cabbage, I think. Only thing good was Pork Fried Rice. When we unpacked orders at home, NO packets of Soy sauce or mustard, and not even one Fortune cookie!!! Will NOT be going back again! read more

Their food is amazing! The staff is always so nice and friendly! Best Chinese place in savoy!

I'm from Philly and this place reminds me of the Chinese stores back home! I really enjoyed their general tso chicken, shrimp fried rice and shrimp egg roll. The General tso chicken had the right amount of sweetness and crunch. The shrimp fried rice is a bit bland but I typically eat it with the chicken so the blandness doesn't bother me. I probably wouldn't order it by itself. read more

Chinese places are numerous around here. I Wok is one of many. Savoy is a small town compared to Champaign and Urbana. Even so, it doesn't mean there's a lack of ethnic eating. Though it certainly isn't authentic, it's the best you can get immediately from around here. Before we were just going to get carryout. It happened the place wasn't that bad to dine in. The orders were placed at the window and then we found a table. Has limited but good vegetarian choices. We got the Hunan Tofu. It's about $12 for an okay amount. This certainly was paying too much. Besides that, good flavor. There was a bit of hot spice. For sure you need to go somewhere else for authentic Chinese. It's not here. The food is pretty good even for the high prices though. read more

I Wok - Hunan Tofu - Chinese Near Me - Savoy, Illinois

Great food, solid service, great prices, just the right amount of local ambiance. They always get my phone order, dash order and in person order right. The pork fried rice is a must, skip the soda for the egg roll!!! read more

Best Chinese around since the one in Mahomet closed(they Retired). Only wish egg fu yung was thicker and not so flat, cannot taste the egg. They are very nice and helpful. read more

The Beef Lo Mein had a lot to be desired for my first take out experience here. Extremely low amount of beef and vegetables with it being mostly noodles. I know where I won't be returning for future "so-called" Chinese food. It's not worth the price for what you're expecting! read more

Great for lunch, if you can pick it up. Nice combos and affordable. For dinner, it's pricey and unless you spring for the large portions are on the small side. Delivery fee is over the top expensive, almost like they really don't want to bring you their food. read more

Great egg rolls and egg foo yong - both difficult in this area. Their staff is friendly, the portions are generous, and the food tastes homemade! read more

Iwok staff have always been quick and friendly when placing an online order. I typically get Angel hair which has always been excellent, however I really wanted Mongolian beef. I placed my order and for some reason it was half mushrooms (which I strongly dislike). There's a photo of Mongolian beef in one of the yelp reviews but there were no mushrooms. Needless to say I was disappointed and threw half my meal away. I will still return to iwok but definitely sticking to the Angel hair. read more

I Wok - 92. Mongolian Beef???? - Chinese Near Me - Savoy, Illinois

We love I Wok. It has great food, great prices and you get so much. I try something different every time I go and have never been disappointed. We also love the reusable to go containers. read more

YUM. We dig this place! Whenever we have no idea what we want to eat, or are heading into a 3 day weekend, we just Beyond Menu up a big bag of Chinese food. They have decent prices, great flavors and they're fast. read more

Excellent food. Great service, friendly staff. Prices went up during Covid but it's still worth it.

Love this place! It's nothing fancy or authentic it's about what you would except it to be but it's comfort food and pretty decent portions for the price! I love their orange chicken! Again, not anything that is going to be winning awards or anything like that but very delicious and one of my favorites in town none the less. read more

I have had a number of dishes here. My fav 's are the simple ones chicken and shrimp broccoli (shrimp is good quality). Their fried rice is good the way I like it, egg roll ehh, standard egg drop soup. I like that they don't drown the dishes in heavy sauce just the right amount for flavor. They cook the vegetables perfect ever time. The Mongolian beef good but not my fav. In the old days (covered wagons and all) I remember just green onions in the dish not the chopped onions that they all do here. The egg foo young was tasty but swimming in oil, will pass on that one. The shrimp w/lobster sauce total disappointment, tasted like shrimp in egg drop soup no real flavor to speak of. Over all a good stop and they have always gotten the order right. read more

This is my go-to for the standard Americanized Chinese takeout in Chambana. The portion sizes, price, and quality are far better than what I've experienced at the local competition. Don't compare this place to Golden Harbor. It's more in the neighborhood of Chopstix and Rainbow Garden (but much better). It isn't the most convenient location for people living on campus, but that isn't an issue for me. Service is always friendly and fast. I've never had an incorrect order in the past 3 years (at least 15 orders). Lunch specials are a great value if you can make it in during their window of availability. The only thing I wish were a bit better is the soup. Don't get me wrong; the soups aren't bad. They just aren't great. As a big fan of Chinese takeout soups, sometimes I am a little disappointed from the ones I get here. read more

Just finished eating our takeout order and had to review. The food was INCREDIBLY GOOD! So delicious. We kept raving about it between bites. We ordered beef lo mein, crab Rangoon, steamed dumplings, egg rolls, spare ribs, and fried donuts. Everything was tasty. The spare ribs are perfect. We will be ordering again for sure. Reminded me of when I lived in NYC and ate Chinese take out weekly. Definitely check this spot out for the best Chinese food I have ever had in CU. read more

Holy cow! I was not expecting this to be THIS good! I've driven by the spot several times. It's far enough off the road and in a small strip mall that I assumed it was simply another ratty Chinese buffet. I could not of been more wrong! After reading several favorable reviews on yelp, I decided to stop in for lunch. It was refreshing to get to order off a menu again. I was a little out of practice and the server did a wonderful job of helping me decide what to order. The food was amazing and tasted very fresh. I ordered the orange chicken. I can't wait to come back and try something else. I will be doing that very soon. Great discovery! read more

I Wok - Chinese Near Me - Savoy, Illinois

We LOVE Iwok and have been having this for 5+ years it is a go to! It is consistent and is fantastic! We always do take out it's not a place that's really set up to dine in at. read more

Good food, friendly staff, and finally changed their containers to the PP ones. Used to be really inexpensive but the price has risen about 30% during Covid, now it is roughly $10 per person. read more

Good customer service. Food? Not so good and very inconsistent. Our last or consisted of fried chicken that had large clumps of flour on it, the fried rice tasted like dough, and the sweet and sour chicken was awful. We now order from Golden Harbor. read more

Just coming for a quick update. I tried some more dishes this time. Food was prepared quick and hot again. They got everything in the order right again as well. This time I tried a dish that had chicken breast in it and I thought the chicken tasted a little meh. Wasn't a fan. Also tried the orange sauce and it was alright. So there's some really good dishes and some that are just your regular Chinese dishes :) read more

Really happy with it take out! Shrimp egg rolls were very tasty so were the crab Rangoon. They could maybe add a little more filling but that's a minor detail. I also heard complements on the pork egg roll and the broccoli dish. I was most happy with the chef special "Dragon Phoenix"; the chicken was great and the giant shrimp were even better. 5 stars read more

They have a convenient location. I went around 5ish pm and we were the only customers but by 530 it got busy. Their prices are hella cheap. We ordered the beef broccoli, chicken curry, pork fried rice, egg rolls and vegetable lo mein. Tbh I didn't like the chicken curry. It tasted bland. The beef broccoli and the egg rolls were okay. THE FRIED RICE WAS THE BOMB. I even thought I could've just ordered the fried rice and I'd be satisfied lol. I'll be back if I'm in the area. But I'll only order the fried rice. read more

Very average food and reasonable prices. The coconut shrimp was kinda mehh... Wayy too sweet and no coconut flavor coming through, just sweetness. The hunan chicken and the mix fried rice were both quite average as well. Didn't have very high expectations from the place and as expected it was just Ok. Good if you want large portions at a good price but don't go looking for high quality. read more

Good food. Fast delivery. We generally order the crab rangoon, pork egg rolls, pork fried rice and General Tso's Chicken with fried carrots and green peppers. iWok uses BeyondMenu.com as their online third party ordering service. We have had no problem with this service. read more

We love this place! We've had it twice so far since moving to town and both times have been phenomenal. You can tell everything is fresh. The crispy tofu was on par with the crispy tofu at Golden Harbor. The combination plates last at least 2 meals and are such a good deal. So far we've tried and loved the chicken with broccoli, beef with broccoli, general tso's, garlic chicken, wonton soup, and crispy tofu. Can't wait to try more things! read more

This is the worst Chinese/Asian restaurant I have been to... I ordered shrimp lo mein and chicken lo mein, spring rolls, and crab Rangoon...no shrimp in the lo mein, spring rolls were greasy and 90% empty as were the Rangoon... extremely disappointed for the money I paid... Will NEVER eat food from there again nor would I ever recommend it to anyone read more

The chicken dishes are really good and the veggies are also tasty. There are enough spice that makes the dishes go well with rice

I will never give this place my business again. I'm horrified. I ordered online. Never again. Do Not Use The Online System With Your Credit Card! I entered my credit card info, and the order went through. Then we get a call just as we get there. I sent my daughter in to get the order, and she came out to say that something was wrong with the card. I went in, and it turns out the last number was wrong. How did I find this out? They had printed it out. Yep. The "pay online with credit card" option? They print out all the info you put in and hand-enter it onto their in-shop machine. So there was my credit card number, my name, the billing zip, the security code, and the expiration date, sitting on the counter printed in nice bold type, while they took peoples' orders and processed payments. I told them to cancel the order and shred it, then changed my mind. Not trusting that! Lesson learned! I took it myself to shred it. They looked affronted that they'd started cooking the food. Those people have absolutely no idea what it means to mishandle someone's private financial information. They should call it iDentityTheft, not iWok. I give a lot of leeway with businesses processing online transactions. IThey can take a while, your order might be later, there might be mistakes when they prepare the order... but I have never, ever seen anyone print out all my credit card info and leave it on a counter. I'm angrier writing this than I have ever been when I sit down to write a review of something, but I want others to learn from my mistake. We've only used this place once or twice, because we could order online while we were on that side of town and it was convenient. It's not convenient to have to monitor my credit card for a few months now. Livid. read more

My family enjoys grabbing take out here. Large portions. Food is good. Pretty popular place. They offer delivery. Staff is always awesome. Been a customer here a few years now. We always try to order something different but my husband tends to get the chicken with curry quite often. The coconut shrimp is great, if you like something with a little sweet to it. read more

My son (Rick S) has already written a review for I Wok. We differed in our opinions, however. I was surprised that the restaurant was empty at 12:30 pm on a Thursday afternoon. I would have thought that a place like this would be a magnet for people working in Savoy. Perhaps the 100+ degree days are keeping people from wandering out to eat. There is nothing fancy about the restaurant -- just some basic tables and chairs. We were politely greeted upon entering. After placing our order for lunch specials ($5.95 for an entree, fried or white rice, and a can of soda or an egg roll), we were delighted to receive a complimentary mini order of Crab Rangoon. It tasted much better than the traditional kind we had come to expect in area restaurants. The presentation of our meals was excellent -- a half sphere of fried rice alongside the entree. My Kung Po Chicken was great. The thing I noticed most was that the fresh taste of the vegetables just jumped out at me. The celery and mushrooms smelled and tasted sooooo good. My daughter ordered Chicken Egg Foo Young and raved about it. It smelled great when she heated up the leftovers today. She was beaming at getting to finish the meal today and asked when we would return. Rick had the Pepper Steak with Onions and seemed to enjoy it. I used a CiSaves.com $10 certificate for $5, which made the lunch really cheap for three people. I have one more left and will certainly use it in the future. If you are in the Savoy area and are looking for a tasty, inexpensive place for Chinese food, I Wok is the place to go. read more

I've been once, and it was definitely "as good as it gets!" just as I've been told. Ordered orange chicken for the chil'ren and a chili shrimp dish with extra spice for myself. I ventured out and ordered something new and it was great! The restaurant is very small on the inside, so I can't imagine what it is like when it's busy. When we went, we were the only ones that were placing an order to stay. The people working there were very friendly and most helpful! read more

As a Chicago native I have grown accustomed to eating mediocre Italian, Mexican, Chinese etc. in central Illinois. But I wok rises above the average fray and then some. The building is new the lighting is great the woman at the desk could take an order with only minimal confusion. The food was astoundingly delicious. Simplicity is key when it comes to Chinese food. Don't reinvent the wheel just provide me with that American Chinese taste I have had my whole life, and please make it fresh. The most notable thing about my girlfriends sweet and sour chicken was the almost non existent grease in the container. My sesame chicken was phenomenal as well. And hot damn were the portion sizes generous. I ordered the large and I am confident it will be able to feed me through 2 more meals. 18 dollars for 2 large portion chicken meals. Surely will be back again. read more

My wife and I went to I Wok for lunch today. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The service was noticeably friendly. My wife said it was like we were the only customers [even though we weren't]. The food was "right now fresh". We highly recommend it to anyone. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant in the area, I always get the broccoli with garlic sauce. Huge portions, friendly service, excellent flavor. My husband enjoys the orange beef and egg rolls. We order here several times a month and it's always great, one order feeds me for two or three meals. read more

Really good service and wonderful food Really nice workers also I can't believe how amazing it is. People should come here more even though the place is small. It's just great! read more

The Mongolian beef and fried rice were delicious! Good lunch spot, super fast service, and cheap. read more

I Wok - Mongolian beef and fried rice lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Savoy, Illinois

Just had there Pepper Steak with onions...........can not say it was great it was ok. Meat was stringy and that's a no for me .....the peppers were huge so would recommend cutting them into bite size. Again.... it was ok not great and the seasoning could have been a lot better. More then likely will not try it again. read more

All the food that I have had here tastes great. They have a variety of options on their menu. I absolutely love the lunch special which is everyday, unlike some places that exclude the discounted price on the weekends. The $5.95 lunch special comes with white or friend rice and your choice of either an egg roll or a drink. I personally love their egg rolls, so I always opt for that option. The portion size is huge, I can usually save half of it for another meal. I like many of their dishes but my favorite so far is their General Tso's Chicken. It indicates on their menu that it is spicy... but I do not think it is spicy at all, but I may have a higher tolerance for spice than some. Another pro is that they have a low carb menu option if you ask for it. My husband recently started a low carb diet, so this is nice that this option is available. The service here is quick and friendly. The person working at the front desk was kind enough to bring the food out to my car because my baby was asleep in her car seat. The only reason why I gave this restaurant 4 stars is because I found a couple of bones in my General Tso's chicken. Not a huge deal, but just something that I wanted to point out. Overall, this is my go to takeout Chinese restaurant in the area. read more
