Why are so many take out paces closed on Monday? Maybe it's to get me to try restaurants I wouldn't normally give a chance. I REALLY needed the comfort of Americanize Chinese food. One of those cravings that lasts for days. And, of course, I decided I couldn't hang on any longer on a Monday, which is when my currently-top favorite Chinese place is closed. Ordered on GrubHub, but for pick up. I've read too many reviews where delivery services make a much-looked-forward-to meal into a tremendous disappointment. I won't even roll those dice. A Chinese place has to serve Shrimp Toast or I won't even consider it. I've traveled to so many states where you can't find shrimp toast. Jeremy's dad lives in North Dakota, and loves shrimp toast but hasn't been able to find it in a decade, so when we went on vacation with him to Orlando, Jeremy packed all his cooking supplies, and wok so he could MAKE shrimp toast for his dad. It was so funny because Jeremy's step-mom insisted that she didn't like shrimp toast because she hadn't known until that very day that her husband LOVED it. The shrimp toast at Oriental Wok is very tasty, though remarkably rotund. I'm used to shrimp toast that looks like toast, not like a samosa. They're DELICIOUS though. Slightly greasy, but that's to expect from something that is dunked in the deep fry. We also had fried dumplings - really good, but nothing unique. I'd get them again, but that's because most dumplings are mid-level and I am satisfied with that. And crab rangoon that was THICCC. I've never seen such over-stuffed crab rangoons. However, the dipping sauce is absolute trash, heavy on the ketchup. I had some pretty great General Tso's chicken, that remained tender even after microwaving the leftovers the next day. You know how a lot of General Tso's becomes incredibly stringy the next day? Not here. But the broccoli was SO HARD. I microwaved them at least three times and it still hurt to chew, which was a disappointment because I love take out Chinese steamed broccoli. Jeremy had a Szechuan dish and a double pork dish, but neither were memorable. He eats all the meat and leaves me to the veg, which I will eat for lunch for days afterward, usually with mashed potatoes (hey, seriously, try it). One dish had a gazillion rock-hard pieces of carrots that hurt my teeth, the other had those lightening bolt carrot slices that I wish I could like, but never hold any sauce flavor. One had cabbage, the other did not. The thing that caused us the most excitement was their choice of Chinese mustard suppliers, though. THEY HAVE DEATH STAR MUSTARD!!! Yes, I know you probably don't know what I'm talking about, but there's this specific brand and their logo is a sphere that sorta-kinda looks like the Death Star. Don't believe me, consult my photos. All other Chinese mustard packets takes like a rubber hose. Death Star mustard actually has a bit of a kick from something that hits like wasabi or horseradish. It is a joy to find it once again! I applaud Oriental Wok for hitting so many of my requirements. read more

Oriental Wok - Beef and broccoli - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This is my go to Chinese restaurant, as they offer free delivery. The delivery is *extremely* slow (talking like an hour plus everytime), so make sure to order in advance. I'm my opinion, they have some of the best price vs portion of any chinese restaurant in the area. The combo platters are a MASSIVE portion of your main choice, as well as a huge side of pork rice or lo mein and one pork egg roll. They also are always very accommodating when I special request to have a veggie egg roll, as I do not eat meat. All in all, the food is delicious, the portions are huge, and the price is great. Just make sure to order your delivery well in advance! read more

Legit the best Chinese food in Baltimore if not the DMV. I rarely rush to type reviews after one meal, especially right afterwards. I had to do this because it has that special Cantonese touch that is virtually nonexistent these days. First of all, the ingredients are super fresh that the vegetables alone in my shrimp with mixed vegetables is worthy of being an entree alone without protein - the veg was perfectly cooked, not raw or slimy, nor was it swimming in gelatinous or watery sauce. The seasoning was beyond perfect. I definitely taste the msg but msg tastes good and the allergy thing is a myth (glutamate is a natural neurotransmitter and sodium is an essential nutrient.) There was a good amount of shrimp and they still use jumbo shrimp in lunch specials. The fried rice is actually properly seasoned and not too greasy - I asked for no pork and they fulfilled the request. Lo mein is not too salty and drowning in grease and there is a good amount of shrimp. The egg roll was nice and crisp and well seasoned. They didn't throw excessive amounts of condiment packets, cookies, and napkins I'll only throw out. Above all the food came hot and is well priced. I am super duper pleased and I know oriental wok will be my go to carryout joint. read more

I've ordered delivery from here a few times And have been consistently impressed. When you order something like eggrolls or fried crab Rangoon, they stick a small napkins in the bag to wisk off some of the excess moisture from the steam. That shows you have thoughtful people who are really thinking about the carry out and delivery experience. The food is tasty and the portions are very generous. I'm a happy customer and will keep ordering from here. read more

First time having oriental wok and it was actually pretty good! Food was delivered fast & delivery man was very nice. I got pork lo mein & pork fried rice which was super yum! I also ordered the broccoli in garlic sauce which I had higher hopes for... the sauce was spicy (yum) but didn't think the sauce was supposed to be sweet... kinda threw me off. Anyways, definitely will be my go to Chinese food place! read more

Small space that is basically take out only. Owner was very friendly. Put in an over the phone order which was slightly misinterpreted and ended up with more food than I had wanted. But, value for the amount of food was great! About $20 for four meals. They did have lunch specials. I got chicken lo mein and fried rice and general TSO's chicken. Food was tasty at the caliber of your neighborhood Chinese restaurant. I will definitely go back. read more

The search for great Asian food continues. The food here is a little more expensive the the average delivery place. But the ingredients are better. The biggest issue is sugar. I got the "shredded beef" dish. It was crazy sweet. I've run into the same issue with other dishes of theirs. read more

Oriental Wok - General Tso's - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I ordered a chicken tender platter with my order. It was horrible greasy and overcooked. I didn't have any complaints with my other food which was an orange chicken with fried rice. I called the restaurant and complained about it the person that answer the phone basically argue with me and said that I was lying. And I told them that I don't like my food no need to argue with me I would like my money back or something for the same value. The man on the phone basically said no, I will give you your money but you have to bring the food up here. Which is bullcrap because they were the ones who delivered my food to me. I did not make sense for me to bring the food to them to get my money back when they could have just had the driver when he was in the area bring me my money back. So they lost a customer today due to bad customer service. read more

Ordered thru Grubhub and it said the order would arrive by 7:30 (we ordered at 6:40). Called them 20x to confirm that they were open. No answer. We finally gave up and made ramen after an hour and a half. Food came at 8:25 nearly 2 hours after we ordered. Understanding we're in the middle of an epidemic.. but either ANSWER your phone or Update your app. Unbelievable. Wish China House were open. Also, food was subpar. General tso sauce was watery read more

Wonderful customer service. I literally call 20min before closing time for pick up. Super understanding and accommodating. Such a nice experience ordering through phone call, to even obtain a drink and fortune cookies. sure this can be my usual carry out place to go and order. Thank you!--can't wait to try the food! read more

Great food, fresh and super friendly staff plenty of food options on eastern ave this one is my go to

The Pros: Solid Price Point, Pork Fried Rice, Decent portions. The Cons: Everything else. I will start on a positive note and say I usually really enjoy their pork fried rice and their egg rolls. But I have ordered from them 3-4 times now and am noticing a trend. The General Tsos is 90% breading. The Pepper Steak with onions is 90% peppers and onions with essence of steak. I thought it was maybe because I ordered a combination platter, so when I ordered the full dish and noticed the same trend, I knew it was the restaurant just cutting corners for profit. We ordered one General Tsos Chicken & One Orange Beef and they just sent us two General Tsos Chickens with orange peel in one container. Also its super sweet, so theres that. Avoid. read more

I've ordered delivery from here about half a dozen times and every time, I've been impressed with the taste, quality, and quantity. Add the online menu for easy no-mistakes ordering and you have a winner. This is the best Chinese carryout that I've had since I've moved to Baltimore. It seems that good authentic Chinese food is not in high demand in good ol B'more. A nice selection of dishes. Not quite a 5-star but close...minus small points for inconsistent delivery times. The product is good enough that I don't order Chinese takeout from anywhere else now. read more

This is my go to Chinese food spot in Baltimore. You can't got wrong with anything at this place and I've tried quite a bit of it.

This place absolutely slaps. It's the perfect family owned shop you wish every town had. I'm super picky about Chinese food and this restaurant delivers in every category. The Rangoon is crisp, the chicken quality, the rice fluffy. Additionally, their delivery guy is super nice and FAST. This is our go-to Chinese restaurant in the area when we are hungry for sizeable portions and don't wanna wait a long time. Give them a shot. read more

Delicious! Tried this place on a whim and was not disappointed! Got the sweet and sour chicken and General Tsos. 10/10

A lot of Chinese Food Restaurants boast about a dish or have #1 in their title, this is legit the best Chinese food you are going to get in Baltimore. North, East, South or West side O-Wok (as I like to call it) takes the cake. Only dish I've ever had that wasn't phenomenal is the Egg Foo Young. It taste great but, sometimes the patties are a little burned. Now this isn't the spot you want to take your lady and have an intimate meal, I highly advise carry out. The if you are a fan of General Tso's Or Orange Chicken you will be in heaven. I lived on the East & West side worked in Sourh Baltimore, went to school Downtown and Uptown and this is hands down the best Chinese food you can find. The pricrs are low as well. Oriental Wok also have a partt platte option. Not promoted but just ask. I love this joint. Never had a problem. Try em out. read more

Oriental Wok - Open til 11 weeknights and later on the weekend - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We tried this for the first time. It took over an hour and 15 minutes to come and I had to call twice because the delivery was supposed to come between 9:35-9:45 but didn't come till 10:15. Thankfully they answered the phone so that's better than being completely left hanging. When the food arrived I got sesame chicken instead of beef. It was still hot despite the delay. In general the food was good, not great but it was good. And for that reason we're not completely crossing them from our list. Hopefully next time we'll have a better experience and I can update this. read more

On 5/5 I ordered $47 in food from here. I ordered late and it got to me around 11:30 p.m. Having just moved I didn't get to eating until after midnight. I was eating and enjoying my beef with snow peas. As I was getting to the bottom of the container (read "After I'd eaten 99% of the dish"), I saw something wrapped around a piece of beef. At first I thought it was maybe the stem of an herb or some such. As I looked closer, and pulled it out, it was a ribbon of steel from a cleaning pad. I'm not talking about a strand of steel wool (which would have been bad enough). But a ribbon of steel that could have gashed my gums, sliced my tongue open, or worse had I swallowed it. It was too late to call. But I had errands the next day so I decided I would stop there and talk to them in person. I went in and explained what happened, showing them my OrderUp email receipt. The man I was talking to goes in the back and holds up the scrubber saying that it had come from that and that the pan had been scrubbed right before making my food. Then he said, "I'm sorry." And that's all he said. To his credit, he said it 3 or 4 times. But that's all he said. He made no attempt to make it right. He didn't offer to refund that dish. He didn't so much as offer a free spring roll to make up for the fact that it's pure luck I didn't eat it and end up with a law suit against them. A cut mouth is the mildest injury that could have resulted. Had I swallowed it, it could have perforated my intestines significantly endangering my life. Clearly they make so much money from everyone else they can afford to not care about endangering customers from time to time. read more

I don't know how they don't have 100% five stars. I've ordered from here so many times (via Grubhub) and only once were they late. The food has always been flavorful and hot (fresh). Portions are great sizes. I love their Chinese donuts, soooo good! read more

I ordered food from here for the first time and it arrived relatively fast. I even thought the food tasted pretty good. Unfortunately this place gave me the worst food poisoning. I woke up the next day feeling the most sick I've felt in a very long time. I usually don't leave reviews, but after being bed ridden for a couple of days, I figured maybe I could save someone the hassle. read more

Looks can be deceiving, this place is top notch. Always hot and fresh, even the broccoli is actual broccoli, not that soggy mess you get elsewhere. you read more

I'm unsure why this place only has 2.5 stars on Yelp. I have ordered from here several times, and can't complain. It's actually my favorite Chinese take out place in Baltimore. I usually order on Eat 24, and they are here within in 30-45 minutes, so I just give myself time. My typical order is always: hot and sour soup, chicken and broccoli, general tso's combination platter (pork fried rice & egg roll included), and steamed dumplings. Around $27 bucks. yum yum yum yum yum yum. That's all. read more

It was some of the best Asian food I've had in a long time. Great price and vast quantity. Definitely ordering again before trying elsewhere

I have ordered from this place several times now and everything was great until tonight. We ordered the chicken with broccoli special that comes with an egg roll, egg drop soup and combo pan fried noodles. My food was really good until the bf started choking and pulling out paper like substance after eating his egg roll. Sure enough it was definitely it was paper. Unfortunately we are pretty hungry but cautiously eating every entree to make sure there's no foreign substance in the food. Will not be ordering from here again. read more

Oriental Wok - Paper in egg roll that was pulled out of bf's mouth - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This is the worst China food I've had in Baltimore to date. The food simply tastes terrible. The chicken has a weird gamey taste to it, which is mind blowing because its fucking chicken. The sauces they use for seasoning are miserable. The egg rolls are dry. The baby corn bursts with a strange, watery, bad tasting fluid when you bit into it. I will say that its good for satisfying hunger, because it completely takes away your appetite as soon as you begin to eat. Avoid at all costs, there is no saving this food. Improvement can't even be expected, its too far gone. read more

Best in the area by far. Fresh and huge portions. Sucks you can't order smaller sizes but so good

Mediocre food+Horrible service+Near endless wait times = No thanks. Took them 3 hours and four phone calls to even get food to my house. They lied on the phone about what was going on with my order -- told me it left their restaurant at 8:20-8:25 and it didn't actually arrive until 10:15, but somehow it was still warm! Hmm. I don't do business with incompetent liars and I recommend you save yourself the head and stomach aches and follow suit. read more

Definitely not great at making sure your whole order arrives. Expect to spend money on food/drink that will not arrive when delivered.

I've ordered a few times, but tonight is the last. These folks take no pride in their business. The food delivered was completely inedible. The fried rice tasted like it was made a month ago and reheated over & over. It didn't even look like rice. It had the consistency of dirt. They may seem harsh, but it is 100% true. The rice was so over processed it had disintegrated. The chicken was slimy. Never again! read more

Got delivery from here tonight. 45 minutes on a Saturday night isn't bad! Even though it may seem like it when your stomach is growling. Food was hot when we received it, I actually had to wait for some of the broccoli to be ok to eat it was that hot! Ordered through Eat24 and everything was laid out really easily so you could see what's popular on their menu. BF and I got two combination platters, chicken and broccoli and he got shrimp and veggies. They came with the entree, pork fried rice (or you can pay extra for noodles) and an egg roll. I thought the portions were very generous. Definitely enough for you to have leftovers (or wear stretchy pants and eat it all!) I'm used to chicken and broccoli being a little more saucy but I didn't mind the amount of sauce, it made it feel slightly healthier (on a scale of Chinese food) I would definitely order again when I'm feeling a lazy Chinese food night in! read more

Oriental Wok - Chicken and Broccoli and Shrimp and Veggies combo dinners - Chinese Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Tasty, consistent Chinese delivery food. If you want standard Chinese delivery this is your place. They take credit cards over the phone, they'll tell you 45 minutes but it's usually faster than that (we've gotten as quick as 15 minutes before, and the only time it took longer than 45 was during a snow storm so who can blame them). Let's face it, the only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars from me is that in the end it's Chinese delivery food. But that said, it's always hot, good, and fast so what more can you say. Oh yeah, if you order more than like $25-30 they usually throw in something free...and it's usually also super tasty. read more

Ordering pickup is very quick here. Have never had to wait more than 30 minutes. The dumplings are delicious. My boyfriend likes the orange chicken and I like the hunan shrimp/bean curd. Tried the steamed chicken but it was not good, the chicken was very chewy. All things considered it's a lot of good food for a decent price. read more

This place doesn't really stand out in a sea of brown sauce Chinese joints in Baltimore, but that might not be a bad thing. Overall prices are in line with the area Chinese take out. The portions were a decently large size which was nice. The food itself was okay, typical Americanized Chinese food. The food was ready timely and as ordered. The cheesesteak eggrolls sound like something I need to try. Overall, I'll be back for some late night Chinese cravings. read more
