Our favorite place of 25 years, Sesame Inn, has now been closed for several months. We are on the hunt for a carry out Chinese food replacement! Really would give this place a 3.5 Star if possible. The War Wonton Soup was packed with fresh vegetables, good quality white meat chicken, shrimp and lean pork, BUT tasteless. Like the broth was just water, no seasonings, just no zing. We bought 2 containers. Second container we reheated the next night, added chicken broth, garlic and onion powder. Better. The Moo Goo Gai Pan was a 4.5 Star, hence the overall 4 Star Rating! OK this was a hit, fresh vegetables, nice tender chicken, right seasoning! We will order again. The place is clean, a little banged up, but will try again, but skipping the soup. Staff was friendly and food made to order quickly. read more

Red Wok in Newbury Park came highly recommended by folks on Nextdoor, so I finally stopped in. It's a quaint little spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. The inside is adequately lit, simply decorated, and had some background music playing--nothing distracting, though not particularly atmospheric. I was served immediately. I ordered the curry chicken, which arrived piping hot and came with a complimentary half‑pint of white rice. I appreciate this, since many places now charge extra for rice. The rice itself was cooked perfectly, was aromatic, flavorful, and fluffy. The curry sauce was tasty, the vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the "extra spicy" request was taken seriously. My only disappointment was the addition of pineapple. I enjoy pineapple, just not in my curry chicken. The dish's ingredients were not listed on the menu. Overall, it was very good, and I'll be returning to try their Wonton Soup and Shrimp in Lobster Sauce next time. read more

We needed to quickly, pickup dinner on the way home and decided to give Red Wok a try. I ordered Chicken and vegetables and a beef entree. It was ready very quickly and the worker was very friendly. The food was excellent ; generous portions, great flavor, and cooked perfectly. I appreciate it when Chinese food is not too salty or greasy. We will definitely be back. read more

Went a year ago and it sucked. When Sesame Inn closed we got take out from here couple months ago and it was pretty good but went today and it tasted completely different, way spicier, kids couldn't even eat it. Probably won't go back again, just too inconsistent and the quality for $60 was definitely not worth it. Bummer, really want a good Chinese food place in town. read more

Found a hidden gem, friendly service, delicious sizzling rice soup with chicken, pork and shrimp which feed 2. We also tried the cashew chicken and brought the good memories of the old school flavors we grew up on. Enjoyed the large pot of jasmine tea and the fortune cookies to bring back the nostalgia. read more

The service is superb and every meal is consistently good. Never have I ever been disappointed. It's a cozy little place to eat.

We moved to Central Coast Ca almost 2 years ago. We love the area! There is one thing missing though. No good Chinese restaurants! We have searched high and low, from Santa Maria to San Luis Obispo with no luck. As a matter of fact, you can read one of my reviews and see how badly a restaurant flunked out, In my humble opinion. Enough of that. When we lived in Newbury Park we had a favorite, go to restaurant that we always went to when someone in our family was sick. "Sick" could mean a cold or flu , but it could also mean I had a bad headache and called in sick for cooking dinner. No matter what, my son was always first in line requesting Red Wok? With a hopeful expression. Well, with our move and my son moving out those days were behind us... UNTIL! Drum roll please! I had an epiphany! When I need to come to Thousand Oaks, why not order what we love, put it in an insulated bag that we already have, and bring it home! Instant excellent food! So we tried it and it worked! Now having to drive to Thousand Oaks won't bee so bad. As for the food you can get here, everything is made fresh. I loved the wor wonton soup! House special noodles, kung pow chicken, broccoli and beef, shrimp with lobster sauce, the list goes on and on. You can eat there, it's a simple place, not fancy, or take it to go. Don't be put off by the older lady, she seems gruff, but the chef is great. read more

Red Wok - Sign outside Redwok letting you know that you have arrived! - Chinese Near Me - Newbury Park, California

Food is very good but I always ask to use less soy sauce, all their plates add extra soy sauce which makes their common plates look much darker in color. If you ask for house chow mien or fried rice just ask for less soy sauce and the noodles will be much lighter in color, I prefer regular Chinese food. They advised their food is from southern Taiwan where they use extra soy sauce on their plates, too much sodium for me but food is delicious. read more

I have seen this place for decades and some reason went next door to the Alamo but not there. I gave it a shot when I wanted shrimp fried rice and my usual go to place was closed. A A friend and I went to try it out, both of us were virgins. We ordered the eggplant with tofu, shrimp fried rice, pork egg foo young, chicken with vegetables, beef with snow peas, and chicken dumplings. The server explained that the dumplings are made in house, along with their egg rolls. Big difference from those restaurants that uses factory created. Wow they were huge, the filling was delicious and the texture of the dumping was fresh. I love dim sum, and this place questioned the quality of those places I was going too. Will be asking if things are made in house next time I go elsewhere. Ordering to delivery of the food took some time, but they cooked to order, which I appreciate. The above food order, I would get again and try out more of their options. I heard they have been open for 20+ years, congratulations to them and continued success. read more

It's Ben many years since I have eaten here. Thought I'd give it another try. The food was delish. The egg rolls were yummy flavorful not greasy. The food actually had shrimp and beef and plenty. read more

Excellent food I have always ordered food to go and it has been made to order very very fresh.

Great place for Chinese. I've gone a few times over the years . Service is fast and they have great options. I highly recommend getting their lunch specials or dinner combos. It's a generous amount of food for the price and easily shareable to get a taste of different dishes on their menu. Also, in general, their prices continue to be affordable compared to other restaurants. The interior has a charm to it that reminds me of all the family owned Chinese restaurants I went to growing up. read more

Best Chinese restaurant in Newbury Park, extensive menu and good , fresh ingredients.

For a "Let's find dinner while we're in Newbury Park", we did well. Good service, good prices, (though we couldn't get their menu to load on Google Maps or Yelp), and large portions. These pics show the dishes AFTER we've already eaten some. A quiet (we went on a Sun. afternoon) place, but near other restaurants so competition for parking. read more

Unfortunately we weren't overly impressed with the food we tried here recently. We ordered take out and tried the orange chicken, house chow mein, house fried rice and beef with broccoli and everything was just kinda bland and lacking flavor. Can't speak to service in restaurant as we didn't eat in but based on the food we tried not sure we would try again. read more

They have a fish filet with black bean sauce that is out of this world! This has been my favorite Chinese take out/dine local restaurant for many, MANY, moons. The family who owns this little gem is lovely, and their food is consistently delicious. I love their steamed dumplings, BBQ PORK soft noodles, the BBQ pork steamed buns are almost like dessert, they are so good. And the pineapple fried rice is bomb, too! Even when ordering delivery it comes piping hot. Always! Sorry, no pics. Just go and see for yourself! read more

We Still like the large portions of food in the lunch specials menu. Just one comment: there is a loud mechanical sound in the restaurant, seems to be coming from ceiling or roof area. Perhaps the owners (or the Landlord of the building ) could try to moderate the sound a bit. It would make the mealtime at Red Wok more enjoyable. thanks read more

Wanted to like this place but saw waitress/cashier blow her nose into her hand and fling it into a nearby dirty dish bin. Never washed her hands and then I found a piece of beef in my vegetable chowmein. We won't be back. read more

Very friendly, but their food isn't very flavorful. It was really. Craving one ton soup and was hoping for something amazing. However, this just didn't seem to cut it and was not as expected, unfortunately. read more

Fabulous family-run business. The food is fresh, tastes amazing, and they are willing to adjust to spice level of dishes upon request. We often go here for family gathering or group meet ups and the service is fast, the place clean, and everyone is friendly. A favorite for over 15 years. read more

Great little restaurant tucked away in Newbury Park. I've driven by it enough times that I knew I wanted to get some take out to see how the food was. Called in an order today for lunch and they were quick! The guy who took my phone order was very nice and let me know that the food would be ready in about 15 minutes. I zipped over there and only had to wait a couple of minutes before it was ready. The lady who rung up my order was also lovely. Great customer service here. The restaurant is small but I liked that they had a couple of outdoor seats and also there is plenty of parking. Clean inside and met a friendly customer too. The vibes are good here, as we say! Pricing was average for a la carte items. But great portions and appreciate that everything was cooked fresh to order. Even by the time I got the food home it was nice and hot. A great spot for to go orders. Here's what I got: -Shrimp with Lobster Sauce -Black Pepper Chicken -Beef Chow Fun with Black Bean Sauce -White Rice The highlights were the black pepper chicken and the black bean chow fun. Super flavorful and delicious. I never really order black pepper chicken but this spots is fantastic! Again, really large portions of the proteins and the sauces have such good flavor. Definitely give this spot your business as the food is insanely good and the service is so friendly :) Happy to have finally given this spot a try. I'll be back! read more

Most of dishes are average chinese american stuff. But their hot and sour soup is a 4 out of 5. I can do the whole 2 servings for 2. Easily. The bb pork fried rice surprised me. Service is strange. I asked her what is best dish and she said every dish. Scary. It took 3 tries to find my soup! And there are a number of sub average dishes so tread carefully. But then again this is not Hon read more

Linda the owner is always so friendly and great. The cooks are legit and truly know how to use a wok. The menu is varied with some traditional items as well as some authentically prepared items. The food is high quality and the portions are big with a fair price. Highly recommend it's the best Chinese food in Ventura County. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Red Wok. They have the best wonton soup I have ever tasted. It was flavorful and was filled with extra vegetables, chunks of meat , an of course, great won tons. My friend recommended the sautéed green beans. They were amazing and covered with little slivers of garlic and onion for extra flavor. Finally, we enjoyed the three ingredient tastes specialty dish. It had a lot of flavor, without too much salt. The service was quick and friendly. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid, and even as an adult, it feels like treat! The two ladies who are always there are very welcoming and always have a smile on their face. Don't let the inside deter you from trying it out. It's a medium sized location with a very calm demeanor. We love the Chicken Chowmein and the Kung-Pao chicken. The egg rolls are nice and crispy and the sauces are great. The portions are large so you can definitely share with your family or significant other You have to try it read more

This little strip mall Chinese place surprised us! The portions are big enough for two - the moo sho was five full pancakes! The pan fried dumplings were twice the size of normal dumplings. The sizzling rice soup is sharable. My favorite was the sesame beef - crisp beef in a sauce with a hint of ginger. Yum! Simple, clean tables. Service was terrific, too. We will be back. read more

I got there just before the lunch menu ended so my food may have been sitting around forever and it tasted like it. I got the fish with black bean sauce and I couldn't really tell what meat I was eating with huge chunks of green pepper and onions. It felt like old leftovers. The egg flour soup had no taste after pouring soy sauce in it. I threw it all away. read more

I tried red wok for the first time today. There was little to no flavor. None of the four Chinese restaurants in Newbury park seem to know what Chinese food should taste like. They are all run by Chinese people too! I sure hope I can find a tasty Chinese restaurant in the Conejo soon! read more
