    House special fried rice
    Maria H.

    Yummy Chinese food that's made to order. Easy to place your order over the phone to pick up within 15 minutes. Staff is always friendly, and the portions are big. It's always busy whenever I go and pick up by order. We easily get 3-4 servings from each item we order. We always order: - Orange peel chicken: crispy chicken in an orange sauce with chili peppers, not spicy at all - House special fried rice: pieces of shrimp, chicken, and beef all stir fried with rice, egg, and veggies. Very delicious - Shrimp chow mein: thick noodles stir fried with veggies and shrimp

    I am a very happy gal!!! Wow!! This delicious kung pow beef lunch special is huuuge the portion is basically enough for lunch and dinner for me. I chose a salad today and it came with a dumpling that was so yummy it didn't get a chance to join the group photo. Will definitely be back since I'm just minutes away. Customer service is phenomenal very friendly I believe the owner is a one man show he took my order then got to making it right away and it came out incredibly fast,fresh, and flavorful!!!! I was very impressed

    Orange peel tofu

    Fresh, tasty, made to order food! Tons of vegetarian options! I tried the orange peel tofu and veggie chow mein. The owners are also so kind. I didn't know what to order and they made tons of recommendations without making me feel rushed.

    Easy 5/5 for Quick Wok in Sabre Springs, San Diego. I always go for the Kung Pao beef lunch plate--it's my absolute favorite. The flavor is spectacular every single time, with the perfect balance of heat, savory sauce, crunchy water chestnuts, peanuts, and that silky-crispy beef texture that keeps me coming back. I've been eating here for 17 years, all the way since I was a junior in high school, and it's still just as good as I remember. The owner and her family run the restaurant, and they are genuinely some of the sweetest people you'll meet, which makes the experience even better. In my opinion, this is the best Sichuan-style Chinese food in California. If you're anywhere near Sabre Springs, it's a must-try.

    General Tso Chicken

    I took some time looking up Chinese food around the area and this had a pretty good rating. I called in for a lunch pick up order. The lady was so nice and I was excited. Wish I could say for the food definitely old chicken. It's dry. There was no sauce and I got bits of dried up batter barely any chicken they seasoned it well, I'll give that to them. I also ordered cream cheese wonton. I did not cream cheese. So disappointed.

    Quick Wok is one of my favorite lunch spots to grab lunch whenever I'm in the Sabre springs area . Service is amazing always . Highly recommend ordering by phone for pickup if you're in a rush . The center also has good parking .

    Hot food made as you order. Our favorite is the orange peel chicken! yum! friendly people too

    First time trying this spot and it did not disappoint. This place is a family owned business and you can tell that they take pride in their food and service. The people were friendly and welcoming, the seating area can fit maybe a few groups of people, and it had a good stream of customers coming in, some seemed like regulars. I had the lunch special, which is around $11, and you get to choose from a long list of entrees, I had the broccoli beef, steamed rice or for an extra 50 cents (which is what I did) you can have fried rice, a choice of either small house salad or hot n sour soup, and a choice of cream cheese wonton or pork dumpling. I decided to not have an appetizer this time, but the portions they gave were more than enough. The ingredients were fresh tasting, the fried rice was really good, but I have to say the broccoli beef was perhaps one of my favorites in San Diego. The beef is thin strips and not the fatty thick pieces you normally get. This beef was very well seasoned, and practically melts in your mouth with how tender it is. I highly recommend becoming a regular at this place, I know I will be.

    One of my husbands favorite places for lunch, simple, no-frills place, just good food!
    Gabe J.

    Food: Good Chinese Food, all the favorites. Drinks, none available, their soda fountain broke years ago & they still haven't fixed, so thats a bit weird and annoying but they do offer free water lol Service: You go to the cashier to order, but they drop off food at table, if eating in. Don't expect warm and friendly, this is a mom & pop place with good food & pricing, so don't get hung up on typical customer service. Ambiance: Simple, no frills and clean!! Price: $27 For 2 @lunch included tax and gratuity, no drinks.

    Beef chow me in lunch special
    Ray T.

    The prices were affordable $9-10 per lunch special. I thought it was a full box of chow mein, not sure how I would eat steam rice with the chow mein. The noodles were flavorful though. The orange chicken did not taste like orange chicken at all. Tasted like a sweet sauce but no orange flavor. The chicken was hard and dry. Some of the pieces felt like fish bones, stabbing the insides of my mouth. The "salad" was disappointing. It was raw cabbage which is much less appetizing compared to lettuce imo.

    Chicken lo mein, I took the chicken out to "showcase" it's just heavy breaded fried chicken pieces

Beef noodle soup - excellent flavor overall, including a strong broth and a nice, soft texture to the noodles.

This is certainly not their specialty, and asking for extra cumin to sprinkle on the lamb did not redeem the firmness. I struggled to slide the meat off the skewer and ended up just eating it while still on the stick. 1.5/5 Fish fillet - so good. Easy to eat texture-wise. Caution -- a bit saltier than it looks. The bell peppers in particular were seasoned spectacularly. 4.5/5 Dry fried green beans - a delicious option for vegetables to add to the table. Most people will enjoy this one in my opinion. A bit more crunch than I expected, which is not a bad thing. 4/5 Double cooked pork - I've never seen it cooked this way, and am not a fan. I'm used to a more oily version of this dish. It contained a bunch of dried and crunchy... yams? Potatoes? Overall, the dish was mainly crunch with no flavor, and contained a relatively small amount of pork. 1/5

The courteous waitress guided us to our table and brought the menu and water right away. For this visit, we ordered the following dishes: West Lake Minced Beef Soup: The portion was large enough for 6 people. The lightly starched broth was nicely seasoned with hint of white pepper. In the soup, there were bits of minced beef, chopped green onion, and stirred egg whites. The simplistic soup was warm, velvety, and pleasantly flavored. 3 Item BBQ Combo (House Special Chicken, Roasted Duck, and Pork Belly): The house special chicken was nicely steamed, lightly seasoned, and with beautiful gelatinous skin. The roasted duck pieces were plump, with crispy skin and succulent meat. The pork belly had crispy thick skin, and tender meat with nice rendered fat without being overly greasy. Walnut Shrimp: The portion was quite generous for the price. The lightly battered shrimps had a nice firm texture and were covered with mayonnaise and sprinkled with sweetened and crispy walnuts. What a beautiful blend of taste and aroma. Left the restaurant heart-warmed and extremely satisfied. Highly recommended.

I was born and raised in LA, so I've had a lot of Chinese food growing up, and I wasn't expecting to be this surprised--but I really was. I ordered the black bean eggplant and the salt and pepper chicken wings. The wings are what they're known for, but I have to start with the eggplant because it completely caught me off guard. It wasn't mushy at all--crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and coated in sauce without losing its texture. Every bite had depth and balance, not just saltiness. I actually meant to start with the wings, but the eggplant was so good I ended up eating half of it before even getting to them. By that point I was already getting full, but I still made sure to finish the wings--and I'm honestly excited to take the rest of the eggplant home as leftovers. By the time I got to the wings, I understood why they're popular--crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying--but what stood out to me was how both dishes complemented each other. One rich and layered, the other crisp and bright. I never got tired of eating, which honestly says a lot. I even told the staff how much I enjoyed the food and they thought I was joking, but I meant every word in saying I thought it was comparable, if not better then the food I've had in Chinatown in LA.

To add insult to injury it was BURNED so badly that all you could smell was burnt dough and taste burned dough. Hardly any sauce on it as well.

We spent so much money and all of this is going right into the garbage. Stay away from this hole! It should be shut down for trying to poison people.

It was empty coming in around 5:30pm on a Friday, but it soon filled to capacity in the next hour. So coming into it, we thought we would choose between Menu A and Menu B. Afterwards, we thought it was AYCE on the menu of your choice + the side buffet where there are limited selections of sides and refrigerated drinks. We ordered orange chicken, Chinese style fish and something else. Again, this was on the thought that we could order more than one item on our selected menu. So imagine our surprise when the bill was nearly $100 for two people? It was a misunderstanding. However, the initial staff gentlemen was completely rude about it and ignored us as we sought to understand. Finally, a second female server came and heard our concerns regarding the false advertisement and unclear messaging. She was able to provide us the price we thought this was for based on Menu selection. All in all - I don't recommend the AYCE option. I think it would be important to make a distinction that AYCE clearly on the menu and at the front - AYCE means each individual selects ONE entree (which is a one small portion) and the AYCE component of the deal is ONLY for the side buffet.

The food was good but nothing solid out to us, I could taste the freshness in the dumplings but maybe because they're boiled, they were a bit bland to us. Definitely needed the sauce with it. Maybe we will be back to try something different. Overall 3/5 for the dishes we ordered that evening
