We were excited to find a place in this area serving Korean-Chinese dishes like jjajjangmyeon, jjamppong, tangsuyuk, and more. The ladies serving us were super friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is small. It felt more like a full size family restaurant that was jammed into a small coffee shop type space but it was clean and comfortable. We went as a family and ordered the jjajjangmyeon, jjamppong, kkangppong fish, fried rice, braised eggplant, honey walnut shrimp, and steamed rice. The entrees were the standout. The fish, shrimp, eggplant, and rice dishes were all so delicious, and we will absolutely be back for those. The jjajjangmyeon and jjamppong were a bit underwhelming, so I probably would not order those again, but everything else was solid and very satisfying. Overall, a great find for this area. read more

Diane and I came here again for dinner, and began with Juicy Pork Dumplings that were indeed juicy, and Wor Wonton Soup that was packed with vegetables, some shrimp, and imitation crab that looked and tasted a bit fuzzy. The wontons in the tasty broth held very dense chicken that tasted like dough. For my entree I selected Tomato Beef that contained big and juicy fresh tomato wedges, while Diane ordered Honey Walnut Shrimp that initially came out without walnuts because of a miscommunication. Diane had asked for no vegetables in her Honey Walnut Shrimp, which was misinterpreted as including walnuts for elimination. They were added on request. Steamed White Rice rounded out our meal. Service was very good, including our waitress running to clean up a spill after I knocked over my filled water glass. We washed everything down with good Hot Jasmine Tea. read more

I had this restaurant saved on my yelp bookmarks for a while. Driving by, and decided to check it out. They have quite a large Vegan menu, with most of the popular dishes made vegan. I ordered take out and my favorite dish, vegan chikin curry, so I could compare with my two other vegetarian restaurants Happy Family vegetarian and Loving Hut. The restaurant was busy for lunch time, service seemed quick. Bathroom was clean with a nice perfumed aroma, the restaurant was very clean with simple decorations. When I got home, the food was still hot and quite flavorful with a nice assortments of vegetables. A little more expensive than my favorite restaurants and not quite as good. Overall, nice restaurant and the food was quite good. read more

I thought it would be nice to take my wife to dinner here . but we sat there for over a hour we ordered the dinner b witch had soup and appetizers. We ask the waitress what was Going on she got mad and said we have a lot of to go orders . I told her we're here waiting and why can't we get our soup and appetizers, she got mad and didn't want to talk to us. So we left and I said give our order to a Togo customer. Next time we're ordering Togo dont need her attitude . I gave her 10$ for our drinks and we left . Take care of your customers that you face to face relationships not somebody that's gonna get cold food anyways and have to re-warm it up. It's sad cause I like this place. read more

Honestly I didn't have the greatest experience this time around. I'm not even sure what happened cause I've been here a few times and I had no issues and the food was amazing. Our group had a few vegetarian and chicken dishes that came out great and they were really good. Now that the food is good, why give the 2 stars? It's because I never got my food. I had ordered the jjajangmyeon and the popcorn chicken and never received it. The restaurant wasn't very busy the time we went and my entire party received their food except for me. I then watched everyone else at the restaurant get their food. And some got the exact dish I ordered and they came after me. What made me upset is that the waitress kept telling me my food was coming soon. I was told this about 3-4 times. And after 45 minutes I had to tell them to cancel. They tried to convince me not to cancel cause the food was coming out soon but my entire party had finished eating already. I was already hangry and I didn't want to hear the excuses. I got a wack apology. Like if you as the wait staff notice that the entire restaurant was getting their food except for the one person you kept telling over and over that their food was coming, wouldn't you check on the kitchen to expedite the order? The excuse they gave was that they only had one wok or something like that. Whatever the excuse was, it was a poor excuse. It was such a shame because usually I have a great experience here but that night was not the night. read more

JW China Wok - Combination lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Redlands, California

I came to JW China Wok genuinely excited, because Korean-Chinese food usually means bold, rich flavors and comfort in a bowl and is rare to find in Inland Empire. Unfortunately, the jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) was a letdown. I understand jjajangmyeon is typically on the oily side, but without that deep, savory black-bean flavor to balance it, it honestly felt like I was just slurping oil. The sauce was surprisingly bland and excessively oily, lacking the richness that defines the dish. I even had to ask for soy sauce and add extra salt just to give it some flavor. The orange chicken itself is decent. Enjoyable, but I do wish it was crispier. It's fine, it gets the job done, but nothing about it is particularly memorable. The sesame balls and cream cheese wontons, however, were actually great. It was well-fried and easily the most enjoyable items we had. That said, appetizers shouldn't be the highlight over signature dishes like jjajangmyeon or orange chicken. One thing that stood out after dining at the restaurant was how overwhelming the menu is. There are so many options that it feels unfocused, and in my opinion, it may be doing the restaurant a disservice. Scaling back the menu and focusing on fewer, well-executed dishes, especially signature items like jjajangmyeon & fan favorite orange chicken, could elevate the overall experience far more than trying to do everything at once. On the positive side, the service was genuinely great. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and honestly carried the experience more than the food did. read more

We met up with an old resident friend today. He suggested JW China Wok as we both haven't been and heard good things. It was time to devour!!! The interior was nice and clean with interesting, aquarium decor. The waiter was a bit eager and trying to ask how we know about Korean cuisine. Supposedly, a lot of Koreans frequent there and they added Korean items (such as jjajangmyeon and jjampong) to accommodate. I will say that the noodle itself wasn't always the correct type. For example, the Singaporean curry rice noodles were not the thin, typical rice noodles (possibly vermicelli?). The traditional jjajangmyeon is served with thick noodles and not thin. BUT the flavors definitely shined. The jjajangmyeon sauce was deeply delectable. The curry flavor of the Singaporean noodles was enriched in laska flavor but also not the typical spice level. The waiter did mention that in the future, it is possible to ask for the lo mien with the jjajangmyeon so will try that next time. JW China Wok is a great addition to Redlands. We may visit more often to satisfy the jjajangmyeon cravings. read more

Food: i always pass by this restaurant, but never thought to actually try it until my husband finally decided to give it a go! The food here is simply amazingggg. We got to try out a variety of dishes including eggplant tofu, salt and pepper fish, and black bean noodles, and all of them delivered above and beyond. I was pleasantly surprised that they had the black bean noodles since it's mostly a korean chinese dish. The fried food was crunchy and warm, the sauce was perfection! Highly recommend all the things we got. Price: reasonably priced, not too expensive for the amount and the quality of food that you actually get here! The fish was $18 and the eggplant tofu was about $14. Ambiance: seemed like it was a family owned business with chinese speaking owner and server. Small and cozy with about 7-10 ish tables inside, great for family get together and casual hangouts Service: the Chinese server taking our orders and serving us food was very very nice and made cute small talk. He even attempted to greet me in korean, which was excellent haha Parking: there is a small lot associated with the plaza that contains the restaurant, in the front end on the side. There is usually at least several parking spots available at a given time read more

Been coming here often because their food really my thing. The portion is huge compared to other chinese restaurants. I have a new favorite shrimp in lobster sauce if i am not mistaken and really comforting when you don't feel good or under the weather. Staff are always nice and friendly. Parking sometimes a challenge but there are soaces on the side of the building. read more

Food service is great and delicious. Order by phone and is always ready to be picked up!

The food here was amazing ! The orange chicken was delicious & packed with flavor. The meat was nice & soft with some crunch to it as well, the rice was absolutely soft & flavorful. The chili paste was definitely a good heat add-on. The staff were so sweet & made sure we were taken care of. The food didn't take long to come out & it all tasted hot & fresh !

JW China Wok - Orange Chicken + Chicken Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Redlands, California

This is an unexpected surprise in Redlands. We literally did a U-turn while driving when my fiancé told me their food options. We ordered the salt and pepper fish filet which was just crispy and seasoned to perfection. Nothing beats a good fried dish like salt and pepper fish. Beef black bean noodle is comfort food. In Korea, in China, and now here in Redlands. Mix it all and enjoy a messy, yummy black bean noodle. Finally, the Eggplant tofu was a nice steaming hot vegetable to add. The sauce was impeccable and each bite burned your insides, so maybe wait a little before taking a bite. But when you do, the eggplant and tofu are gonna explode with flavor. Everything was a savory feast and phew, I think I'm gonna be back here very soon! read more

I was craving wonton soup and theirs did not disappoint. I actually really like it a lot so I do recommend that if you're craving wonton soup. The two employees that helped me were really nice. I've been back here twice recently, and I will say that I liked the combo fried rice, and lo mein. The fried tofu as an appetizer is just fried tofu, but I was a bit sad that it did not come with sweet-and-sour sauce. That might just be a me thing because I usually get that at Boba shops and it comes with sweet-and-sour sauce and that's when I'm used to having it with. It came with no sauce so you might have to ask for sauce if you do get the fried tofu appetizer. One of the items I tried when I came in was one of the pan fried noodles. I would say if you get this to go ask them to mix it all together. Because they gave everything to me in a separate container so I just had like fried noodles and then I had to put the sauce on top of it which wouldn't really be an issue if I wasn't lazy to go down and put it over a stove to really mix it up and heat it up. So I really didn't care for that so I ended up just throwing it away. Over all this places really good. I would say it is probably one of my go to if I'm really craving Chinese food. I'm not gonna ding them for the pan fried noodles only because that's just one item among many items that they have. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the other food. read more

parking is abundant in a shared plaza! lunch special is a good deal, but im going to be honest, the food is mid. cant expect too much from a chinese restaurant in redlands. it feels very panda express-esque. they do have a pretty large menu, so maybe i just beed to try other things? dont expect too much authenticity or quality here. i also come from SGV, where some of the best asian food is in socal. very average experience, skewing on the low side. the employees are friendly and nice though! read more

First time to JW China Wok in Redlands CA. A small family owned restaurant where the owner is the cook and his wife part of the wait staff. We ordered the Westlake Beef Soup, Eggplant with tofu, Fish Fillet with Black Bean and Beef Chow Fun. The food was truly great. It reminded me of the foods I had in San Francisco's Chinatown. The thickened black bean sauce over white rice was delicious. The soft eggplant contrasted with firm tofu was another favorite. Our overall favorite dish was the Westlake Beef Soup. We would definitely come back when we're in the area. It's a real hidden gem. read more

Stopped by to grab a bite for dinner. Only ordered two dishes, I've not tried before. Didn't really care for the texture of the small shrimp in the cashew shrimp dish, too much celery too. Could be how they preserve the shrimp. Maybe grille it a bit. Dry spicy beef, it's got chili oil so you can order mild or hotter. It's ok nothing special because the meat is a bit chewy due to its grade of meat imo ! Won't order these dishes again though. Will try something else next time. Bathrooms are clean. Service is fine. No beer or wine No Liquor License Soft drinks are by the can. Not impressed with that either! read more

Food - best jjajangmyeon in the area. The noodles are a little thin though so ask for the thicker noodles which makes it taste even better. You can also ask for the red pepper flakes too. 10/10 would recommend. Service: - awesome staff who were always around and welcoming. I also mentioned that they didn't have the jjajang on their uber eats and they put it in right away too! Ambiance: - diner like feel. Lots of booths for people to sit.

After trying twice (both eating in and takeout at this restaurant), rating it a 3.5. Pros: They are one of the very few places that offer Korean Chinese food such as black bean noodles, jamppong, and sweet and sour fried beef. The beef dishes are all tender. Service is great. Place looks clean. Prices are decent. Combo chow fun is flavorful and meats in it are tender. Fried tofu with salt and pepper isn't too spicy. Cons: The noodle texture of the black bean dish isn't that chewy and taste is a bit on the bland side. Fried tofu with salt and pepper is on the bland side and not very crispy (but that might be because it was a takeout order). Chicken chop suey is not as good as others in the area (smaller portion and less vegetable assortment). Vegetable chow fun is pretty sad with minimal vegetables so I recommend getting chow fun that has meat in it. Not sure if it's because I got take out for these three items. Overall take: Meat dishes are done well. Eating at restaurant seems to yield better food as opposed to take out (great service). Korean Chinese dishes offered here but doesn't beat OC and LA options. read more

JW China Wok - Vegetable chow fun and chicken chop suey - Chinese Near Me - Redlands, California

Lunchtime (12:30pm) on a Sunday. Very busy with large parties seated banquet style. For myself and my hubby we were seated after a few tables cleared and were wiped down. We opted to use the QR code even though our server offered to take the order manually. Two people running front of the house taking orders, clearing tables, and fetching to-go boxes. We started with two iced waters. They definitely needed the added lemon slices to offset the strong tap water taste. I ordered a jasmine green tea to try it out. We had to ask for it again when all our dishes made it to the table but the tea pot didn't. It was not super strong in flavor but it did have a lovely jasmine smell. Our appetizer of popcorn chicken really took my back to my early college snack spot days. Crispy, tender pieces and perfectly seasoned. The black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon) used fresh white noodles, had a good amount of beef/onion sauce. Tasty but one order is not shareable for two grown adults. If really really hungry I'd recommend two orders. The 1/2 roast duck came with two, dry thighs. The flavor was ok. Not too salty. It was hard to enjoy since each bite was pretty dry. Almost like it was left in an oven/warmer too long. Didn't get to try out the jjampong (seafood soup) but would be interested in trying a few other of their dishes, primarily their version of Dan Dan mein. read more

This is my go to for Chinese food, they truly care about quality. Everything is always made to order so have some patience with them it's well worth the wait. Some of my favorites are the Sesame beef, Generals chicken, chili wontons, bok choy and chicken chow fun. The servers are very sweet as there is usually only two of them so sometimes they are running around a lot from table to table so service can be a little spotty if they're busy. Overall this place has some of the best Chinese food you can get around. Everyone I've brought here is hooked and enjoys it every single time. read more

I guess I'm just lucky I keep finding these establishments that far surpass my expectations. JW China Wok is no different. I am a huge lover of Egg Foo Young and I have been searching the region for one that lives up to my standards and I finally found it. The Egg Foo Young is so savory and delicious I can't wait to have more, we also ordered Chicken Fried Rice, Chow Mein, Vegan sweet and sour, Fried Tofu and Sesame Chicken. The Appetizers we got were Butterfly Shrimp and Egg Rolls and Pan Fried Dumplings Everything was beyond good. The place is very small and sometimes you will have to wait but it is worth it. The sit down environment is a great change from the fast food steam table types of Chinese food. The Service was great our server was very attentive and worked very hard to make sure all of her guests were taken care of. I will definitely be going back to JW China Wok. read more

Later in the afternoon dining as single guest, I was happy to enter this restaurant and be greeted kindly. The food choices were egg foo young, korean noodles, and twice cooked belly. The stars were the noodles and the egg foo young. Definitely freshly made sauce on the egg foo young, and be sure to ask for extra since it is tasty. The noodles really hit the spot that meal. Took leftovers home. Service was attentive, but not hovering. A revisit is in the near future. read more

JW China Wok is located in a business area. It's smaller than I thought. They only have booths. If you have a group you will need to sit in 2 booths. They were experiencing internet issues so credit cards weren't being accepted. We were able to pay through Zelle. There were 11 of us and we sat in 2 large booths. Service was great, sometimes they were slow. Overall, I would say they were attentive. There's only one waiter for the entire restaurant. Due to the size of our group, we ordered entrees to share. They did have a lunch special even on a Sunday which was around 10.99 a person. We chose not to order from that menu. We did order: 1) Sesame balls 8 per order. They were smaller than I would like. The sesame inside was good. The outer shell was cooked well. 2) Shrimp lomein was good. There was a good amount of food. They didn't skimp on the shrimp. 3) Orange Chicken with no spice for my teens. The chicken was crispy. The orange sauce was not too sweet. I enjoyed this dish. 4) Green Beans without spice was also good. Waiter said it was their best veggie dish. I thought the green beans were cooked well and we're still crispy. Seasoning was good. 5) Shrimp with lobster sauce had mushrooms and chestnuts. I thought the sauce was not quite what I would expect of lobster sauce but it was sufficient. 6) Egg drop soup was OK. I don't know how you can mess that up. 7) Shrimp fried rice was OK. It wasn't the best. There was a fair amount of shrimp. Some of the rice was crunchy. read more

Went here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was empty. Very clean, nice decor. We ordered the combo egg foo young, vegan orange chicken, and lemon chicken. The vegan orange chicken kinda tasted like ham, but that's what most vegan meats taste like. The sauce was rich and sweet but not too much orange flavor, good portion size. The lemon chicken had big tender chucks of chicken, with a very thick lemon sauce. The sauce was sweet and had a good lemon flavor, it also had cherries and pineapples. Very big portion.The combo egg foo young had a good flavor. The jasmine tea was good and the service was outstanding. The prices are also Very reasonable. Definitely looking forward to going back and trying more vegan items. They have A LOT of vegan options. read more

As of this writing, it's a really new restaurant. The parking can be tight on the east end of the parking lot (in front of the restaurant) but there is plenty more on the western end. The staff was super quick and efficient. As you can see from my outside pics: their grand opening sign and store front. You can see from my inside pic, it's simply decorated. I also have 2 pics of their menu: it is bound to have something for everyone. There is also a wall QR code menu available. We had the lunch specials - it is truly a value meal. I had the Orange Chicken. The chicken nuggets were nicely sized, see pic, and tender. The breading was appropriate: not too much or little. The orange sauce was very, very sweet and lacked flavor and tang. The adjacent egg roll was pleasant, but didn't have any pronounced flavoring. The rice was okay. Likewise the Kung Pao Chicken had fresh and nicely sized vegetables see pic. This flavoring was also okay. read more

For clarity this is for JW China Wok. First impression was for a strip mall setting, inside was a restaurant feel, with nice booths, simple not overdone on par decor. Ample selection of tables and booths for a smaller space. Our waitress and maybe owner was very informative as to the dishes. I got the feeling, but did not clarify that they were open to modifications although I did not verify this as fact. The kitchen was busy but not loud, with a tremendous amount of takeout. The food did take awhile maybe 20 mins, which was explained in the final product. This is not premade in anyway I could tell. This is old school from scratch dishes. Well worth the wait. The flavors were perfectly balanced where maybe you wanted more flavor, but didnt really need it. Some stated, lack of flavor, Im thinking if you are comparing a fresh dish to a steamer mass produced, over salted, preservative type dish, maybe so. This is not from a package or can, or precooked and shipped in. This is real food.in my opinion. The fact that my picky mods were easily agreed to explains this. The portions were easily shared even for bigger eaters. When trying new food we always go with the dishes we know. I am curious for our next visit if the items such as egg rolls, wonton, dumpling are made in house. I have not had real Chinese food that I grew up with since the 60s and 70s in Redlands since Tangs closed? So nice to see and taste a true egg foo yung, and chop suey on a menu. Yaaaa to the family style dinner. Cant wait to try more. read more

I ordered shrimp fried rice which was sub par. Very few shrimp for the amount of rice given. No onions or scallions were in the rice and it was gritty. It was not worth the money (3 stars).

JW China Wok - Chinese Near Me - Redlands, California

Hospitality was great, however food was lacking in flavor. The employee was so friendly, service was fast and kind, but the actual food was okay. To be fair, I am Asian and have had authentic Chinese food many times in OC and San Gabriel area. This type of food is like Americanized Chinese food, but even then - there was a lack of flavor. The orange chicken was one note in flavor (I've had better at Panda Express), and the shrimp with lobster sauce had minimal flavor and didn't have much salt or anything to taste. The menu is geared toward American palates, but it's not truly authentic. I do want to give a shout out to service though, it was very attentive and quick! read more
