If you want Chinese food for the American palate then this place is for you. The food is always tasty, good variety, and great value for the money. My container has always been stuffed full!! Good option when you want to "run in" and get something quick. read more

Star Wok is our go to spot for delicious Chinese takeout. The food always tastes freshly made, Orange chicken is the best we've found around town. They also give generous portions for a reasonable price so we can usually share 3 combos between the 4 of us in our family, including hungry boys. We've only gotten food to go but nice that they have seating inside if you want. They also have party size trays if you're trying to feed a bigger group. Service is always friendly, and food always delicious! We're so glad we have Star Wok right in our neighborhood.! read more

The food here is so delicious! I love the portion sizes too, it can feed me for at least 2 meals. I usually order combo B (2 items) and get half/half for the entree and side dish so I can choose up to four items. I love that this place is also a lot cleaner than the other similar bento-style restaurants. Growing up, my family and I had a lot of stomach aches and food poisoning from eating at similar places, so it's nice to know that Star Wok is clean. Service is okay, not exceptional but not bad. Overall, a solid place to get a good meal! read more

Star Wok - combo B (2 items) - Chinese Near Me - Claremont, California

Excellent food at a bargain price, orange chicken is our go to. They pack the plates and keep more ready in the back so no worries if something looks low. Everything we tried has been very good, easy parking and fast read more

My go-to spot for to-go Chinese food. My current combo is broccoli beef, mushroom chicken, steam rice and teriyaki chicken. It's tasty, filling, and priced reasonably. The orange chicken, bbq pork, and chow mein are my occasional favorite splurges too. read more

Food was great, but the lady in the front was very disrespectful towards me she was giving me attitude the whole time I even asked for napkins and she got mad at me. I will never wish that I'm my worst enemy. read more

Very Fast wonderful food. I ordered and was ready for me. War Wonton Bbq pork Orange chicken Big menu. This was an I am starving. LOL read more

Im so disappointed about this place. Been going here since 2007! The portion size went down by half...what happened? There's any meat in this thing. I don't think I'll ever come back. read more

Star Wok - Chinese Near Me - Claremont, California

China Express, Panda Express, etc. The quintessential chinese express restaurant is as much an L.A. fixture as the Hollywood sign, local donut shop, or In-N-Out. Don't believe me? Cruise just about any corner strip mall and look at it closely. You will likely find a chinese fast food joint with a name that puts your best pun into a tailspin... like my favorite, "Wok 'n Roll." Walk in and smell the MSG, and you will find that everyone loves Chinese food. And just about every neighborhood has one. Here in Claremont, I was surprised to find such a staple. If you don't already know, this college town is not afraid to turn its nose up at the mundane and provincial. The intellectual elite have no time for such basic things. And yet, even here, you will find the chinese fast food joint thriving. Come hungry, because you will receive your money's worth here. At least two or three meals worth it if you aren't a big eater. The combo B, which gives you two items, is at least 3 pounds of food. You have to go orange chicken and broccoli beef, but if you're feeling adventurous, go for the chicken katsu or bbq pork. Remember you'll get quantity, the quality is good enough. This isn't Mr. Chow or even Panda Inn, just good, honest, and plentiful food for a proletariat or student. Minus one star for the sticky tables and chairs. (Bring your clorox wipes) read more

I cannot believe how long it has taken me to try this yummy fast food Chinese restaurant, as I had been ignoring it because I enjoy more authentic Chinese spots, but I finally decided to give it a chance during the pandemic in order to continue supporting Asian-owned businesses. I am so glad I finally did! Now it's my go-to when I am craving noodles and/or rice or when I don't have much time. Their food is good; it feels freshly made. The service is fast, since you just walk up and order what you'd like, as MOST items are pre-made. The portions are HUGE, and the price is decent! I only wish they had a couple more vegetarian options, but I'll take what I can get! P.S. If you want to pay with card and your order is under $15, they charge a $.50 fee. There is no free for orders over $15 read more

Star Wok - Green beans over chow mein and fried rice (one-item bowl) - Chinese Near Me - Claremont, California

I should have read the reviews before entering. The lady with the limp, was just plain rude and dismissive. I was so confused when I went up to order/ we wanted two bowls and she grabbed a styrofoam container and I said rice she said no- two items. So we went for the noodles-- Essentially, we were a bother. We should have just walked out. I said sweet and sour shrimp and she didn't acknowledge. Then we just asked for the veggies and teriyaki chicken. I just decided to order nothing else or she will get angry. Felt like she was being disturbed. She said - I can't hear you by the way because of plexiglass (she pointed)-- once we were ready to check out...I'm like well start with that lol! Very strange experience! We wanted a soda, but not a good idea as to not bother this woman-- we went to Vons instead. I also needed another container so I could share the meal-- but I definitely got the vibe that she would say NO. So rude. Food was 7/10 read more

First off the food is great! It's what you expect when you go to a quick and easy Chinese spot. The lady at the front is very nice and polite. I love supporting these types of family owned spots. If I'm in the area I'll be back when I crave it! OH and the got the combo B with 2 proteins and they give you real good sized portion. read more

I am struggling writing this review because my family and I have frequented this establishment for over 15 years. The food is good for the price you pay. However, the interaction with the cashier/attendant has reached the end of the line with me. In the past, I would be snapped at for not asking for teriyaki sauce for the teriyaki chicken soon enough or when I asked her for the cookie that usually comes with the meal (my son loves those cookies). Normally, I would just pay and be on my way. Yesterday, she reached a new level of rudeness by not giving me the correct change. She shorted me only 3 pennies, but when I asked her about it she stated that she did not have it. I then said, "Then I'll take a nickel." I was half-joking. She then huffed and said something under her breath and grabbed her tip jar and pulled out 3 cents. She handed the money to me and said, "Give that back to me!" She was referring to the siracha packets she had given me and said, "I gave you too many!" I then preceded to hand her back the packets and told her I would not be returning. This is the first time in my over a half century of eating out that I have ever said that. This was an establishment that I came to more out of convenience than anything else. It is shame to lose a customer who spent $40 to $50 per visit at least 15 times a year to feed his family for a mere few cents. Do better, Star Wok! read more

Fresh food made daily, new to the area and I was looking for a good Chinese food, and I stumbled upon this place and it said hidden jam in Claremont. The food portions are very large very clean environment. Nice to eat. Pleasant customer service and just a delicious place to get food if you're in the area, I highly recommend this place. Everything is good. I've tried everything taste very fresh. Very delicious. read more

The people here are very kind. When I walk in I greet them with a smile and a polite attitude and they do the same every time. The people who leave bad reviews here seem like the yelping type and I'm sure they aren't the most pleasing people. They always give amazing portions to where I have leftovers every single time and the food is amazing. The fish and chicken katsu are so affordable and you get the most tender delicious protein. It is a food line service, either speak loud enough for them to hear you through the glass or point. English is already a second language for a lot of people, the plexiglass is also very great because it prevents people's hot breath and saliva. The lady with the "limp" is a sweetheart and always gives us amazing portions and customer service, and she's never had a hard time hearing us order through the glass. Love this place. read more

Such a great fast food Chinese place. Super yummy food and not as oily as other places. They were also so sweet and nice when we went there as well. This will definitely be my go to fast food Chinese place. My food was super good read more

Fave Chinese take out in the area! Portions are huuuugge. The food is fresh and not oily. They have the best orange chicken. Customer service is great, so friendly! read more

We love this place. The food is always fresh and the green beans are so good! Very consistent quality and the portions are great.

If you need good tasting Chinese fast food, Star Wok is the one to go to! Not only is it good, but their portions are VERY generous. You'll get more bang for the buck than that other multimillion multi outlet Chinese fast food company that rhymes with tanda. Service is also good. The workers are always friendly and polite. Try it out, you won't regret it! read more

Shoot not the best Chinese food i tried but lady hooks it up !! She stacked it . It was enough to keep me full all day ! Definitely recommend for big portions . Must get read more

This has been my go to place for several years, but my experience today may send me elsewhere. Prices went up last year, which has to be expected, but now it seems the serving container has also shrunk. So pay more, get less. What's happening in the kitchen has me more worried. The teriyaki chicken was so salty as to be inedible. They used to ask you if you wanted sauce, but that's also a thing of the past. It's really too bad, it used to serve decent food at a reasonable cost, but that time has passed. read more

I've been going there for a while and love the food there. The place is great. The staff has watched me grow up.

Food remains good however the prices have gone up and the to go containers have gotten significantly smaller

Fast, reasonably priced, clean, and convenient. The food is good for the price. I am particularly fond of their hot & sour and egg drop soups... especially during cool and rainy times. I also enjoy the Kung pao and spicy chicken. You can order al a carte (which is what I do when trying to avoid the carbs) but the plate specials ensure you get a heaping portion of rice or noodles. My only complaint is the orange chicken has a bit too much glaze. read more

They have the best bbq pork and shrimp fried rice. I pick up the bbq pork nearly every other week. Customers service is the best!

One of the few remaining Chinese fast food places that provides a good balance of quality and portion. come here and you'll be fed

As a Native New Yorker I have had my share of cheap Chinese food. Some good, some bad. This place is BAD. I purposely waited more than 24 hours to write the review to bake sure I didn't get sick from it. I went in for an early lunch 11:15am ordered the eggplant tofu and chow menu to go. The chow menu noodles were room temperature and the texture appeared and tasted as if they were leftovers from the day before. The tofu was dried out. This ended up going in the trash. read more

My favorite Low-cost Chinese restaurant! Very friendly people there. Compare to other same-style Chinese restaurants, their food is less greasy, less sodium, and the material is fresher. Their portion is really big. I always order a 3-dish combo and share it with my wife. The black-pepper chicken is a must-order every time for me. read more

I risked returning to this place despite my negative review of about a decade ago, hoping that things might have improved. I'm sorry to say that they haven't--the staff is just as incomprehensibly and offensively rude as ever, and they now become shockingly obnoxious if one dares to ask for a soup bowl, a second foam plate, etc. These items must cost them a couple of cents per piece, yet the staff have no problem chastising customers like dogs if they request them. What, exactly, is it with this place and these people? Why do customers ever return here? I guess there needs to be more competition in the area. In any case, don't come here unless you have a strong masochistic streak and enjoy being scolded like a naughty pet when you ask for the simplest things. read more

If you're craving Chinese take out, this is your place to go. The food quality is good, price is decent and the best thing is the they give you enough food to feed more than 1 person. I usually order the 3 item combo and it's more than enough food for me and my husband to share. read more

The place is very clean and the lady is very nice. I would say this taste like other Chinese food around the area however, the portions are very big. Nothing spectacular but you should try it out if you're around the area. read more

If you're looking for a no frills packed in take out container of food this is the place to come. The food isn't bad don't expect anything gourmet. It's just a run of the mill Chinese joint. Their portions are big, I eat a lot and I couldn't even finish it. A good bang for your buck if you an alternative to Panda Express. read more

I went there to grab some food while on my lunch break. The portion size is huge but my food was cold, the only thing that had a little warmth to it was the orange chicken. The chow neon and rice was completely cold and the bbq pork was room temp at best. the employee over charged me which I didn't realize until I got back to work and looked at my receipt. Had it not been my lunch break I would've definitely went back and asked for a refund because I couldn't even eat the food. read more

Great customer service, food, portions and price. Will be back for sure. Tried the BBQ pork, chowmein and shrimp veggies. read more

It's fast food. The price is decent. The workers are nice. Their food isn't great. But if you're not from the area and crave Chinese food, I guess this will do. I only come here if I really want Chinese food and don't want to drive too far from work since it's about 0.7 miles from my job. read more

Star Wok - Chinese Near Me - Claremont, California

My favorite fast Chinese in the IE. The green beans are really fresh. The orange chicken is amazing. Love their chow mein and fried rice. Great portions. Try the fish and black bean read more

Poopers! So here is the scenerio... last night I go to Massage Envy to loosen up and when I get out it's FREEZING! and i'm not in the mood to go home and cook since I've been up since like 3:44am so I see "Star Wok" and decide meh I'll try it out. Only one other person in the joint and they are cleaning up to make their way home this was about 7:00pm-ish and they close I think at 8:00pm. I ordered the Orange Chicken and Crabmeat and Cream Cheese Rangoons also came with fried rice. Fried Rice - had a burnt taste to it Rangoons - had a distinct 'fishy' taste to it BLEH Orange Chicken - taste fresh and had a pleasing sauce on it Although the service was fine and friendly... Unfortunately I don't think I will be returning :( Respectfully Reviewed read more

Compared to other "Chinese" take out joints, they are pretty standard. Priced the same as most places. They have good variety of food Their food is actually pretty good, but doesn't make me crave them. Get the BBQ pork and BBQ chicken!! I personally hate the Chinese restaurants that charge extra for using credit cards. Very inconvenient and "get with the times already" this is why they lose an extra star read more

When I crave greasy, inexpensive chinese food, I come to Star Wok. It is pretty convenient, right next to Vons. I am also really indecisive, so I end up getting the 2-combination plate (2 dishes + fried rice), which can feed me for 2 days. The orange chicken is not as good as Panda Express, but the other dishes are pretty good (more authentic than Panda's). the servers are as nice as chinese servers can get. And they pack the styrofoam containers with food to the point where its almost exploding. There are a few tables for customers to eat at, but I always take my food to go. It looks clean enough though. read more

I recommend the rice noodle, mushroom chicken, orange chicken, and bbq pork dishes. The mushroom chicken is always made with white meat. Orange chicken, if fresh, is crispy and delicious. BBQ Pork is usually lean yet flavorful, not super fatty. This location is tastes much cleaner and is less heavy than Tasty Goody. To make your meal even lighter, ask your server to take the portions from the top. Otherwise they will scoop from the bottom where the sauce/grease is. The servers portion your meal by your gender and size. For example, I always get 1.5 to 2 times the amount of food my mother or girlfriend receives. read more
