My first time eating there, but due to my not being able to complete my experience with Buffet, I arrived before it closed the Buffet, but chose to order Ala carte the seafood egg foo young for $12.95 and loved it and had 2 meals off of it. I will definitely return. I truly think like it's been said: the best Chinese food in Lafayette, Louisiana. I should know because I spent 20 years in NYC, where there is authentic Chinese Food and those that adhere to please American tastes with their adjustments. I give it 4 stars: **** read more

Great food and great portions. The lady at the restaurant makes you feel like part of the family.

Consistently good everytime! Low prices and large portions, all ran by a mom and pop duo. Super nice and local, efficient service! It is on the smaller side but packs a whole punch! read more

Friendly worker, small Buffett...food was ok, nothing to say oh yea you gotta try this...small buffet, limited choices....inside is old, floor is worn out in spots...it's just old, and needs updating....better buffets in town... read more

Lady was very rude ! I went in just to sit and look at the menu soon as I got in the lady came asking if I was eating there I said "yes" I am . She came back 30 seconds later asked if I was ready I said I'm still looking . She kept staring and I can tell she was getting upset at me just because I was looking at their menu and sitting down . If you don't want business and people to sit down at your restaurant don't have seats! Very rude will never go back .! read more

Food literally looked like dog food. Ordered $60 worth of food and nothing was edible. Kids got sick after eating. went the next day with 80% of the food back in boxes for any kind of refund and got no refund. read more

Went here based on reviews but food was awful Mongolian Beef was tough. Combo Fried Rice was pale and tasteless. Orange Chicken was the worst I have ever had. Remember this is my personal opinion based on my experience at this business. read more

Best cream cheese wontons in town Service was excellent and the food was amazing it's a small little place but packs big flavor

Worst Asian food I've eaten in my entire life. I couldn't even finish my plate it was so bad. The "chicken" has almost a soupy texture and is nauseating to even look at. In addition to taste, there were also multiple hairs in my food that just completely ruined my appetite. Only reason I went here was because China One was closed. Worst 15 dollars I've ever spent. read more

Awesome little hole in the walk place. Best place to get authentic food in town at a reasonable price. We have been going here for a decade.

Best hot and sour soup I've ever had. The lemon chicken is my favorite but everything I've gotten is good!

This was a quick take-out order of Chinese food. Everything tasted ok, except the chicken in both the fried rice and lemon chicken were really dry. The kids enjoyed it, though! #momdontcook read more

Went to Magic Wok late this afternoon to eat. We ordered chicken with green beans. Waited over an hour. Food never came. They were so busy pushing to go foods that we never got our food. We always got our food quick and is very good. I am not happy with the service we got tonight. We walked out. We go there all the time. Maybe they need to hire some help. Two people can't keep up with food orders. Sorry for the bad review. Not happy. Will never go back. read more

This was our first attempt at finding a Chinese place in Lafayette since we just moved here a few days ago. We were blown away! So much better than any of the Chinese places we had back in Asheville, NC. The portions were really large, and the owner was very sweet. Highly recommend! read more

Best place to eat Chinese in Lafayette. Remember to order off the menu. It's freshly cooked and 10 times better than what's on the buffet. Also ask the server for recommendations. Garlic green beans, soup, dumplings, wontons, entrees...everything is great! ADDENDUM:We recently visited and ordered the lemon chicken, which is like orange chicken but made with lemon juice and comes in a brown sauce. We also tried Kung Pao cabbage, which isn't on the menu and is cabbage stir fried in a pepper sauce. Amazing! read more

I've probably been here way too many times to almost call in my dining room now. I love this place. The food is probably one of the best Chinese food I have had. The buffet is pretty standard Noodles, Fried Rice and a lot of good chicken preparations. I personally like the Soups and the Cheese Wantons as well. Off the buffet, the food is amazing as well. I love the chicken and soft tofu. It's my favorite, along with the fried prawns. It's a must visit. I would totally recommend this place to others. It's a lot of good food. The owners are amazing. We always have a good time when we go there. Just two things that I'd want to point out is that this place needs a little bit of an overhaul. Also, I'd like to see a change in the buffet once in a while. Otherwise, all great. read more

Magic Wok - The Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

This was my first visit to Magic Wok as I continue in my search for delicious Chinese food in Lafayette. I ordered a spring roll, a cup of wonton soup (I had read another review praising it), and for my entree I chose Mongolian Beef. When I unpacked the dinner at home, I quickly discovered my entree had been switched to what appears and tastes like Beef with Chinese vegetables, not what I ordered. The wonton soup was just okay, and the egg rolls were over cooked. Looks like my search must continue. read more

Cute mom and pops Chinese spot & Hands down, the best Chinese you'll find in Lafayette. HOWEVER.... you must order fresh and not from the buffet!! The Pork w/ green beans is a family favorite, especially since you can get extra pork for just $2 extra. The spring rolls are incredible, along with the lemon chicken, black pepper shrimp, & the General Taos chicken. Their fried rice is a little bland, but they have a very tasty Kung Pao cabbage side that is delicious and a great option if you're taking a break on the starch and carbs. Also very affordable, especially when feeding a large group/family. read more

Good fresh Chinese off the menu, the buffet is sometimes not as fresh. Overall for the price it's hard to beat. The spicy dumpling soup is fantastic on a cool day. The Chinese spaghetti is really good and I usually get 2 meals from a single order. The Kong Pau(sp) fish is my go to, it's alway good. When ordering egg rolls specific beef, they make them in house and reminds me of the spring rolls in Singapore. Service is sometimes a little slow but remember it truly is a mom and pop operation. read more

Lunch buffet was delicious. Best egg rolls in Lafayette. Great service. We can't wait to come back.Cheese WantonsEgg Rolls

Thought I would try a new place a buffet food was cold, blan just not good . So I had two bites of fried chicken batter never did find the chicken! So naturally I asked for some type of discount. They didn't give me any compensation. I don't recommend this place 0 stars. read more

Wasn't the best food, but the service was great! Wouldn't say the worst because I hate giving very low rating! The food could be a little better but the prices are great! I think they would need new flooring because the floor sounded very sticky and my vans got really sticky at the end. Very much recommend NOT wearing your favorite shoes into that restaurant. The lady was very kind, the walls needed some repainting and that place would be one of my favorites! read more

I have been coming here for almost 17 years. The owner is so nice and friendly. They have the best hot and sour soup in town

The best takeout Chinese restaurant in town. Call early for special or no-MSG orders. Inexpensive and fresh, and delicious, it's a very small Mom & Pop business. read more

Very friendly and very fresh. The food is much better when ordered off of the menu. Lafayette does not have many quality options in terms of Chinese but this is a good one. read more

This place is a hidden gem! My kids and I have been going here for about 10 years. The buffet is small, but everything on it is fresh and delicious. The owners know us and will cook fresh batches of our favorite buffet items when they see us walk in (fried shrimp, egg rolls). Very affordable, fresh, delicious, and the owners are amazing people! read more

Magic Wok - Chinese Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

It's nice they prepared take out quickly! Just call-in my order, my foods were ready after about 20 minutes when I got there! nice job

Chinese fast food... Yes but made with love and flavor. Rumor has it that the proprietor prepared food for the higher ups in china before moving to the US to give his son the opportunity to excel at UL comp science... Maybe a funny detail but I think it's significant. And if you are ever daring enough to ask them for some specialty authentic Chinese cuisine, you'll see why! read more

This family owned Chinese joint has been here for a long time. The place is clean, the small buffet has some pretty good items on it, and all are hot and fresh. You should not go here if you're expecting a giant food trough like Buffet City, as the buffet only has a small fraction of the items. However, for a quick and easy Chinese lunch, Magic Wok is pretty good. read more

Great, solid Chinese restaurant. Best garlic beans, sesame chicken, and wonton soup in town, IMO. The owners are a delight, always love talking to them when I pick up, highly recommend. read more
