They have indoor seating, but we very often order takeout--and it's always just as fresh and delicious. Every item is consistently great, never greasy, and full of flavor. Our favorites are the shrimp rolls, kung pao chicken, beef and broccoli, sweet and pungent shrimp or chicken, and the chow mein. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Quality and consistency are what keep us coming back year after year. The parking lot can get busy, but it's fairly large and we usually don't have an issue finding a spot. This is the best Chinese food we've had, and we'll continue to be loyal customers for many more years to come. Highly recommend

I love the giant fish tank at the entry. The Wor wanton soup, kung pao chicken and shrimp fried rice are favorites. The thing they lack is crispy noodles. They don't offer them. They are a tad pricey, but you're buying quality so it's a nice treat occasionally.

When we came in, we were immediate greeted. We were shown to seats and we guided to choose which…read moreseats we wanted. The waitress asked if we wanted anything to drink, so we asked for iced water, and it came really quick. The menu is decent, with a decent selection. It's very basic Chinese menu items. Inside is very clean and spacious. We ordered: Sweet and sour chicken Fried pork chops with spicy salt Beef chow fun Yang chow fried rice Everything was great! The Sweet and sour chicken hits the spot, without being over-flavoring. The chicken pieces are a good size and they are well-fried. The pork chops were perfect too! Not overly salty. The beef chow fun was great too! The yang chow fried rice was a bit salty, but eating it with everything else was fine. If there was less salt in that fried rice, it would have been a perfectly good dining experience. Anyway, I would recommend this place. It is good.

Most of the takes are round which is the best for group dining and conversation. On top of the round table, each one came with a lazy Susan for easy sharing of dishes. The staff was super friendly and attentive which is great. The menu is basic and easy to read with a simple layout but nice options. So why three stars? Well the food was hit or miss on this day. It was the first time I've eaten at hot wok. But others in the party frequent the restaurant. One person ordered the sizzling rice soup and said it had been better on other occasions. For the tale we ordered a pork dumpling starter, which was fine. Our main dishes were the orange chicken that was good. The kung pao chicken that was bad. A tad dry and flavorless. Ma Po tofu for a vegan eater which the said wasn't the best representation and for some reason the kitchen didn't add onions to help it be vegan. We had vegetable chow fun noodles that were good. We had sautéed green beans that were sautéed with ginger and not garlic which weee bad. You add it up and there's your three stars. I'd eat there again but be more directive on how I'd want the dishes done if possible.

We were greeted right away by the hostess and she also sat us down. Excellent customer service from the moment we came into the establishment until we left. We tried their famous Chongquing Crispy Chicken along with the Beef, Chicken and Shrimp Fried Rice. It was yummy. Definitely glad we stopped by to try their food. The servings for both the entree and mixed fried rice were plentiful. We can't wait to comeback to try other food items on the menu. Another eatery worth frequenting in the San Fernando Valley.

I had high expectations for this place because I enjoyed the food in the Northern Cafe restaurant…read moreat Downtown LA. But sadly, I was disappointed by this branch on Reseda. The menu was on laminated paper which must be a few years old and felt disgusting to touch. I started with hot tea and it was served in a metal cup. I wish they served it in a nice ceramic container for customer's enjoyment. For lunch, we ordered chicken chow mein and their pork and crab dumpling (like a xiao long bao). The chicken chow mein had a boatload of cabbage and probably 10 strips of chow mein noodles. It should have been called cabbage noodles (lol). The pork and crab dumplings would have been a hit, but the dumpling shell had a "soapy" smell. The meat inside was soft and tasted good, but I couldn't get over the smell of the shell. We would have also wanted to try seaweed salad, but it was unavailable on this day. Overall, you can find better Chinese food close by this area. There's Maru Ramen on Reseda and Nordhoff, or Silverlake Ramen on Rinaldi. The parking here is plenty. The staff is also courteous. But given the state of the food and overall feel, I give it only two stars.

Very honest opinion: Not sure if I'm eating the same food as everyone else leaving reviews here,…read morebut I got the signature beef (Lanzhou) noodle soup combo and it was incredibly disappointing~mediocre. Server guy was chill. The food is served in a paper bowl, unlike the nice bowls you see in their pics. Tl;dr: if you're curious, don't waste your time, bafang is open 5min away Preface: I KNOW it's mall food, but for a restaurant that continuously pops up as #1 on Yelp whenever I search for food around the northridge/chatsworth area, I'm going to treat it as if it were a #1 spot. Beef noodle soup: to be very blunt, this was quite flavorless. The beef was dry as bones and looked like it was sliced with a mandoline. The noodles seemed undercooked and it felt like I was eating al dente spaghetti noodles. I got a medium spice level which didn't even seem that spicy, just a lot of cough inducing chili oil with no burn. Pan fried dumplings were ok. It honestly tasted like it was deep fried and not pan fried. Unsweetened black tea: hands down the best of the 3 things in the combo, which is quite telling. Honestly you get a decent amount of food for $15. But to constantly take the top 5 for recommended on Yelp in this area and waste my time to even look at it, it definitely doesn't belong remotely close to top 10.

The service was friendly and the wait was reasonable. Its located in the mall which means that you don't really get much of a vibe from this place alone but of everything surrounding. The soup was not spicy imo, I have a high tolerance, but it did have a good flavor. The noodles were thick and soft but they lacked a bit of flavor. The beef was soft and flavorful with the smaller bits of beef, which resembled ground beef, were very tasty. The soup was good overall but felt a bit too oily. The dumplings had a light crunchy exterior and the inside was juicy but it felt just a bit too mushy for me. Overall a good place and I would return to try something else.

Truly forgettable Americanized Chinese food in Canoga Park is the most succinct way to describe…read morethis place. Oh well, we had to kill an hour or so in the area, so we decided to try it. We had another Chinese food choice and afterwards, we wished we had chosen the other place. This restaurant is a dumpy little joint located in a truly gross strip mall. That being said, there were plenty of people eating there, and people getting take out. So, for the area, I guess this is considered one of the better places if you don't feel like driving far. They had a new item - NY style egg rolls. As a New Yorker ex-pat, I take these very seriously and look for them all the time. Unfortunately, these were chicken. You know things are going wrong at a Chinese restaurant when the egg rolls and pot stickers are chicken instead of pork. Clearly catering to people who are not Chinese food aficionados. The egg rolls were edible but in no way good. The pot stickers were meh and the size of gyoza rather than potstickers. We got the chicken with garlic sauce and the kung pao shrimp and begged them to make them extra, extra, extra spicy. As in all non-Asian areas of town, the waitresses' eyes went wide as if we didn't know what we were asking for, but she said okay. Sure enough, both dishes came and were not only not at all spicy but completely bland. I mean super, duper bland. It has nothing to do with my rating or my meal, but watching a family at the table next to us trying to eat mu shu pork and not knowing how to eat a simple age old dish like that was somewhat frightening or amusing or both. I don't know. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion and I was captivated. Anyway, bottom line is I actually like Americanized Chinese food and even crave it sometimes to mix it up from the standard SGV authentic stuff. This just is not a good place and reminded me of all the horrible Chinese restaurants I tried throughout LA when I first moved here from NYC back in 1994. Can't recommend. Don't go.

Parking lot is small and spots are tight. They have a one way in and one way out but also more parking in the back. We managed to get parking up front and ordered immediately as soon as we walked in. The lady told us about 10 minutes but I swear it finished in 5! Really great customer service, the young lady was very sweet and it was a smooth process to order take out. The place was a little empty probably because we got there shortly after they had just opened. Maybe like one person dining in and 2 others ordering take out as well. The vibes in here take me back to my childhood with the carpet floor and booth seating. It was also very dark inside. My family and I would go to the A&W down the street for every Sunday dim sum and also for family parties and that's what it reminded me of. We took our food home to enjoy and loved everything! Great quality and my mom said they are also owned by A&W but not sure if that's true or not. It did have the same quality so maybe! Our order: - Pork Fried Rice - Mixed Vegetable Chow Mein - Fish with Black Bean Sauce - Hot Garlic Chicken Everything was delicious and plenty of food for dinner as well!
