Iron Wok is hands down the best Chinese food I've ever had! My family and I have been going there for years, our hearts were broken when they told us they'd be moving to Placerville. What were we to do now?! Well...now we drive an hour from Elk Grove to Placerville! And it's worth it every time. The food is always steaming hot, fresh, delicious and served from a very sweet family. We love the owners and the very successful restaurant they've created. It's a comfortable, clean place, and the only place I eat Chinese from now. 10/10 stars read more

Iron Wok - Chinese Near Me - Placerville, California

This is a great restaurant. Everything was prepared independently with different sauces. It was fresh and well presented. I generally an not a major fan of Chinese food. However, this place is so good I'm converted. You won't find anything near as good between Placerville and San Francisco. Try it out and you'll see! read more

Delicious food, fresh ingredients, wonton soup is amazing - you'll love it. Seems like enough said but being prompted to type more, so sorry for that. read more

Food was excellent and the waitress was nice. That being said the people cooking (open kitchen) were very stoic and cold and giving my children looks. They're toddlers and I was a waitress for a long time, my kids weren't bad at all AND I cleaned up after them. It wasn't like they were incredibly messy and running around or anything like that. On top of that, even though it seemed really clean in there, we all had horrible stomach aches and generally never have that problem, especially all 5 of us. read more

First time for lunch. Favorite was the Walnut Shrimp for $14 you will love it. Orange chicken great, no complaints but one. No one on this review mentioned the noise, I asked the waitress about the noise, she said it's the deep fryer and fan that keeps going on and off. Plus we noticed there is no separate kitchen to ward off the noise. It was so distressing and loud to us we will not eat inside again. Outside weather permitting or take out. I on reflection coming home both me and my husband had stomach aches. He ordered Prawn with Vegetables and had no problem until he had my Orange Chicken later that night. We will not return. read more

My Chinese friend and I tried this new place on Main St in Placerville....the food was wonderful...very fresh and very nice flavor. It is Americanized Chinese food but they went out of their way to make my friend authentic wonton soup! I highly recommend this restaurant not just because of the food but because it is the cleanest Chinese restaurant I've been to in a very long time! read more

I can say that this was the best Chinese food I've ever had. You can tell they use fresh high quallity food. Welcome to Placerville!!

Best Chinese in Placerville area, I've had them all! Hands down. Delicious! So happy I found this place!!!!

Literally drive 98 miles to get here for the food after they moved. From San Francisco Bay Area to Placerville. This place is amazing. Food is out of this world read more

Had lunch here. The food was absolutely fantastic - great taste, good portions and quick! We ordered the lunch plates - Veggie mix with steamed rice, cashew chicken with Pork BBQ fried rice. Both came with a soup (egg drop) and a spring roll. Plus we ordered pot stickers for our son, who really liked them. It was quick with great service and nice ambiance. We were able to get back to exploring Placerville quite quickly. read more

In my opinion Placerville has not had a good Chinese food restaurant for awhile. That has all changed now. My experience was great. The orange chicken was delicious and had a very fresh taste to it. The hot and sour soup was delicious. The egg roll and pork fried rice were also very fresh and flavorful. The restaurant was very clean, the service was fast and friendly, the portions were large and it was very reasonably priced. What more could you ask for. You won't be disappointed. read more

I can't say enough good things about Iron Wok! Best Chinese food I've probably ever had. I'm also gluten free and they are so great about modifying dishes. Always super nice, great service and amazingly fast. read more

This is the only place I'll go to Chinese food now. You can tell the meat is quality. It's not like other places that basically just give a tiny piece of meat with a bunch of fried batter. Every item we got was amazing! read more

I'm so happy our town finally has some good Chinese food! Lots of flavor, huge portions and very clean. I also like that they have the combo special all day, not just at lunch. Wish they had an IPA on draft! read more

Best Chinese in town. The lunch special is to die for.My son loves the egg rolls, so fresh.

So my favorite Chinese restaurant closed and I thought my world was caving in!!!!! Then one glorious day a coworker and I decide to go to lunch. I was telling her about my favorite Chinese restaurant closing and she asked me if I had ever been to the Iron Wok. I said no and she insisted it was sooo incredible! Ok I said and we went. I ordered my favorite Honey Walnut Prawns. I can't tell you how happy I was. The shrimp was lightly breaded. The sweet cream sauce was just pure comfort and the sweet crunchy walnuts were so freaking good! Days have gone by and I am getting ready to leave the next day to a Slayer show and didn't want to cook dinner. I thought man Chinese sounds amazing. I thought oh yeah the Iron Wok!!!! I ordered my favorite, some Generals chicken , veggie chow mein and crab rangoons! My world has started to take back its form and I am now proud to say Iron Wok is now my favorite Chinese restaurant!!!!!!! read more

We moved to Placerville 12 years ago and have not found a Chinese restaurant that we really liked until now. This is it. We ate there for the first time last night at a neighbor's suggestion, and the food was great. Our standard fare in Chinese restaurants is Mu Shu pork and Kang Pao chicken: these were maybe the best we've had anywhere. Also, the pot stickers were plump and delicious. The service was super personable. We'll be recommending this place to our friends and neighbors. Sure hope that the Iron Wok is here to stay and maintains this quality. . read more

This is our favorite restaurant, we have followed them from San Francisco, to Elk Grove, and hopefully soon to Placerville. You will not find a better place to eat!!! read more

The best fresh Chinese food I've ever had. The servings are huge and I can't wait to try something else. The walnut prawns were delicious! The owners are the nicest people ever. So glad they came to Placerville. read more

What a great place. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Every plate was excellent. I noticed they didn't have Oyster Beef and asked. The response was "I make it for you with mushroom and Zucchini". It was just excellent. Lady who took order was excellent. It has taken awhile to find good Chinese food in the area. I'm 100% going back. read more

Great Hot n' Sour soup!! Really nice great service as well! Will be back for more. Have yet to try the Cow Fun but the Beef and broccoli was good. Also had the fried rice with pork, good size chunks of pork! read more

As a fine connoisseur of American Chinese food, particularly General Chicken. This place has been hyped up to me by many. I have to say it wasnt the best "even in town." But it was pretty good. Everything was decent and we didnt finish dinner disappointed. There is a better place here in town, but then that will be for another review. read more

I went the first week they were open. Fresh food, great ingredients, great service. I ordered the Broccoli Beef... Good, but not great. I wish they could have done something original to give them a 5th star. If I were to say something to the owners, it would be: 'Feel free to do something different with a typical Americanized dish. It would be great to find a plate that was exceptional. Offer a spicy option for all your entrees, please. (?) This might give you the edge you need. You are surrounded by at least 3 other Chinese restaurants; 2 are inferior and one is exceptional. You have a great location, and your pricing reflects that...if nothing else, to cover the lease. Make this location work and be all you can be.' read more

We always order to go and the food is always ready super fast! Enjoyed the food and they also include a soup to go! Hubby's fav is the Kung Pao Chicken and I get Beef and Broccoli. The lady that works the front is very friendly as well! read more

My family has been going to Iron Wok for many years, actually about 10 years now ever since they were in Elk Grove. We have always received a warm welcome and fresh, hot, and amazing food every single visit. When we found out they moved to Placerville we now drive up there from Elk Grove a few times a month just to eat there. It is that good and the owners are nice people. I would and do recommend them to all my family and friends. read more

Amazing food especially for the price! Love coming to this little restaurant Downton placerville!
