This is by far the best buffet in the city. Most Chinese buffets are all pretty similar and have that generic "Chinese buffet" taste. Everything on this buffet screams quality. Like it is all fresh made with family recipe not just some generic frozen Chinese food and premise sauce. Everything on the buffet is 10/10 same goes for the takeout. A little more than other Chinese places but you get what you pay for again best word to describe the place is quality. Also the staff is all amazing. read more

Love love love the wok. Living away from Cincinnati for sometime, its the first place I go when I come home. I am all about the apps so my favorites are the egg rolls and crab rangoons- literally the best I've ever had. You can't go there and not get them. I usually hit up the lunch buffet because its hard to choose just one dish! The general tso's chicken is phenomenal and always fresh. I tend to pair it with the Kung Pao chicken and Veggie Chow Mein because why not. The owners are the nicest couple and always greet you with a smile. If you're looking for good Chinese food in cinci, there really isn't anywhere else I'd steer you. read more

Hands down my favorite Chinese spot in Cincy...and anywhere else for that matter! Have been coming here for years and would absolutely recommend for lunch or dinner, or both! Always partial to the buffet--mainly because I can never make up my mind and they have all of my favorite classics. Buffet is always hot and fresh and has everything you can imagine--including the BEST crab rangoons out there. Great service and great food, you just can't beat the wok. read more

Sizzling Wok is the best Chinese food in the city. After having lived in New York City, Sizzling Wok is the only place I will go in Cincinnati. Honestly, the crab rangoon is my favorite out of any restaurant I've ever been to (and I've eaten a lot of crab rangoon). The food is absolutely delicious, the service is wonderful and the owners are lovely. If you want good Chinese in Cincinnati, there is really no place else. read more

This is the BEST Chinese food ever. I've tried others but none compare to Sizzling Wok. We get takeout quite often and the portion sizes are huge. Love this place! read more

I hate leaving this review, but I have to. We came here for Mother's Day as I got to pick. I hadn't been here for about 30 years. It was horrible. We got the bar and it was very unappetizing. The food bins were either empty, nearly empty, or dried out. It was so bad that my daughter ended up having to order off the menu... and IT was horrible, too. I will say the crab rangoon was good, but there were only 4 on the bar total. We sat there with empty glasses, too, but finally got refills. Our server was polite, so perhaps she was overworked. We won't be back. :-( read more

$13.50 for sweet sour chicken. Really?? Stopped in for carry out dinner. I'll head somewhere else next time.

I have been going to this place since I was in high school. The food is top notch and the service matches. From the egg rolls to the cheese puffs to the main dishes. They do it all, and they do it excellently. This is the Chinese Buffet that every other one is measured against. Nothing else in the area even comes close! read more

The absolute best Chinese food I have ever had. Best egg rolls, best fried rice, best everything. I don't have a bad thing to say about this place. read more

Disappointing. The spring roll was extra greasy and smelled as if it had gone foul. The chicken in the fried rice looked liked cubed, steamed chicken thrown in as an after thought. The szechuan green beans were a mushy mess. What a disaster of a meal. read more

After many years being absent from the Anderson twp area, I recently moved back and the first place I headed was to the Sizzling Wok. You see, I use to eat here on a regular basis (OK daily) back in the early (gulp) 90's. At that time, it was one of the best Chinese restaurants. So as I sashayed in my mind flashed back in time and I was thinking that everything would be just as I left it, well much to my surprise the same waiter from the 90's greeted me. He looked at me and said " I remember you, you eat your food so hot, nobody eat!" We reminisced for a bit and my hopes were high. Well the fantasy ended when the food arrived. It has become your standard run if the mill Chinese food, the only thing missing was the picture board of the food above the cash register. My Kung Pao chicken was bland and "chewy" the hot and sour soup was, well greasy. I was saddened to see another good Chinese restaurant fall by the way side. I took the left overs home and fed them to my Dog "Steve" Steve joked about my visit, and agreed with my synopsis. read more

Food was gross and pricy compare to other Chinese restaurants in the area. We had lunch buffet around 1:30pm, all the food was almost empty and they didn't fill it back. Buffet for two and 2 soda cost $33 not including tip. The same thing we had at other restaurants were only around $25. read more

The service was great but the food made my mother and I physically ill shortly after leaving. Never again.

Good lunch buffet, lots of variety. The buffet is ready by 11:45 not 11 when they open. Good egg rolls. Good cheese puffs. Good food. Attentive waitress. They have 2 tv's. read more

I always enjoyed takeout from Sizzling Wok. Tried the buffet but was disappointed with the selections and it was overpriced. Last night we ordered takeout. The food was decent, a little stingy on the condiments. Then I saw the bill...my bad, I paid with a credit card. The price was much higher than expected. I had estimated the balance based on the online prices. Well, the prices had escalated. I went back, in person, hoping to get the price difference credited back to my credit card. No luck...I'm done! read more

Let me start off by the fact that I love Sizzling Wok, they have very delicious food. After this last experience, I probably will not return. My fiancé and I stopped in for a late lunch only to see that there was no food on their buffet but a few select items. We waited a while until finally I asked our server if they were going to put any sweet and sour chicken out and they did so. However, that's literally the only thing that was put out. The fact that I was handed my check before I even got to eat and the fact that I look around and every single employee was sitting at a table eating while I was waiting for them to do their job really upset me to the point to where we got up and left. Really sad the owner of the one in Eastgate closed shop because my family and I truly do love their food. read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to. Probably my favorite on the east side. Go when they first put the buffet out at eleven thirty and five thirty as everything is fresh and phenomenal. Egg rolls here are hand rolled and made fresh, so you don't get the same egg rolls like at every other place where they bring them in frozen. Best egg rolls I've ever had. read more

I have been going to the Sizzling Wok for years and plan to do so as long as I can. The Egg Fu Young is the best in the city, trust me I've tried many. Whether I am dining in, or ordering takeout I am always satisfied with whatever I get. read more

I agree that the cost of eating here seems a bit expensive. Two people for buffet is 30 or more if you get a soda. I wasn't impressed with the selection of food, maybe because the lady wouldn't bring any fresh food out. You basically had to beg and it was only 6pm. It definitely was a bad night to be a first time customer. There were several tables complaining about the lack of food and the prices. read more

This used to be the first resturant I visited when I came to Cincinnati, it would now be my "never again" list. I was very unhappy with the last visit, but thought I would try one more time. BIG mistake. The chicken was terrible. It tasted old. Lo mein noodles had a musty taste and smell, as though they had been stored in a musty basement. NEVER AGAIN will I go the Sizzling wok on Beechmont Ave. read more

Horrible food, ok staff. This place used to be great, then the owner died an poor management made the place terrible. I do not recommend eating here. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place, I have eaten here a few times years ago and have no major memory of if either way. For the first time as a restaurant customer we left this place within 5 minutes of being there without attempting to eat more than a bite. The buffet was practically empty, the rice was crunchy and the scraps left tasted awful. On top of that, the cook was getting food off the buffet the same time as us which made it clear that there was no fresh food coming any time soon. I can't speak for ordering off the menu but if what was on the buffet was any indication I don't have much faith. We offered to pay but the waitress must be used to this because she didn't charge us. read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant. Lately though, I have been more than disappointed. The last three times I have dined here, I have been disappointed. Today's visit will be my last. I ordered from the menu & asked for no mushrooms. Most of my dish was mushrooms. I ordered fried wontons - at least one of them was undercooked. It was doughy. The egg rolls are what I love most and they were fine. But they have stopped making them with pork. It's all veggie now. Considering my bill for myself and one guest was $61 - you would think at least the food would have been good. Not so. The dish I ordered (and often order) was served with mostly mushrooms and had very little flavor. My guest was also not happy but she will write her own review! read more

This is by far the best Chinese buffet in town. You can easily tell the difference in quality and authenticity from other Chinese buffets in the Cincinnati area. The egg rolls are amazingly fresh and unlike any other I've ever had, the kung pao chicken, beef and broccoli, pepper shrimp, fried rice and moo goo Gai pan are all the closest to being authentic over any Chinese restaurant I've been to! I also enjoyed the crab rangoon's with REAL crab inside, the BBQ chicken which is char grilled and always very tender and juicy, the fried zucchini which surprised me, and the hot and sour soup. A little pricier than other buffets, but you get what you pay for. This place is a must try if in the area, but come early by 5pm, when everything is brought out fresh. read more

After being a regular customer to this place for 26 years, I AM NOW DONE! My mom and I ALWAYS eat lunch here, because we always get Connie as our waitress....she is THE BEST! The owner, however.......HE is another story. He should have never taken over. The place was so much better when Jack owned it. I decided to order take out yesterday since our kitchen is being redone and I can't really cook. The order came to $61!!!!! Holy CRAP!! Okay, I realize it's the "dinner" portions, but SHEESH!! The kicker is this: I asked for a couple of more of those little containers of the hot chili pepper oil, and TONY, the cheap ass owner told me if I want 2 more, it will be $2 !!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I just spent $61 and you can't even give me 2 more TABLESPOONS of hot chili oil???? It's okay to fill the BOX (because he's too cheap to use bags) with our order in it with TONS of sweet n sour sauces and soy sauces and hot mustard.......but NOOOO, you guys will go bankrupt if you give me more chili oil??? Holy $#@!. NEVER AGAIN SIZZLING WOK! read more

Nowhere near as good as they used to be. I'm betting that they're now using the cheapest ingredients possible for their dishes. Some friends and I still enjoyed going in for a quiet, leisurely lunch but now they've put two TVs in the place. Really spoils it. read more

Got here for lunch buffet at 1:00. Lots of dishes on buffet were running low, no effort to refill. Lunch buffet with a drink was $12.25. Way too much for what you get. Won't be back. read more

Order the food off the menu! The buffet is terrible but I ordered take out and the Dinner Specials are great. The price is he same as an entree plus eggrolls but you also get soup and crab Rangoon. I love their Hong Kong Chicken it is batterd and crispy with lots of veggies. Sizzling wok fried rice is delicious and the eggrolls are also great! read more

My family has been going to the restaurant over 15 years. Great service and great food. Love the peppered shrimp on the buffet. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone for lunch or dinner read more

As a mother sometimes it's easy to order togo or delivery... I called to place a delivery for 2 lunch items and an app but before I could l had a few questions. When my questions were answered I then asked to place an order for delivery. I was told that they don't delivery till five?!?! It no where on the menu or website say then don't delivery till 5. We have ordered a dozen times from them before 4:00, have had it delivered and love the food but there is sometimes isn't easy which is why l love that they deliver...Since when did this change happen and maybe to get better service you should change that on you menus and website... read more
