Stick & Wok - Chinese Near Me - Santa Clara, California

We stopped by since the restaurant we wanted to originally come to had a bit of a line, and we were pretty hungry. The food was okay, and the service was a little lacking. Also for the price point, I guess I kind of expected a bit more? 1. Mongolian beef wrap was decent. The beef was tender, and came to your table on a hot sizzling plate. They light it on fire for show. It came with 3 large flour tortillas, but the amount of beef you get is barely enough to fill one of them. My husband and I ended up only using two wraps, and they weren't even close to being halfway filled. It was disappointing if I were to be completely honest. 2. Crab roe fried rice. It was really good, and you could see the crab roe cooked throughout the rice. It didn't have that smokiness unfortunately, but the crab flavor did come through. I enjoyed the corn in it, it complimented the crab flavor nicely. 3. Pork xiao long bao. It was the best item that we ordered, but it also took the longest to get to our table. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of it since we devoured it, but the meat was really tender. The pork filling practically melted in your mouth, and the soup wasn't overly porky. I wish we received more ginger vinegar sauce with it, but it is what it is. They also did not give us soup spoons to use, so we ended up having to use the serving spoons that came with our previous two dishes. The table next to us got their dumplings at the same time as we did and received their spoons though. It might be because it's a holiday weekend, but it seemed like they weren't prepared for how busy it was. The staff seemed really flustered, and people were waiting a while for their food, mainly for the xiao long baos. It was almost half an hour before one of the staff came to apologize about the wait for the dumplings. Maybe it's just due to the busy holiday weekend, but I'm hesitant on coming back. My husband would, but I'm on the fence. read more

Another Valley Fair asian joint where there is a line but its a shorter one. Very authentic variety on the menu as we had the following: Cucumbers Salad- chopped cucumbers with a vinegar dressing and a nice refreshing crunch to accompany the other dishes. Walnut Shrimp - generous size of shrimp and fried to perfection with a slight drizzle of mayo/honey sauce which was made the shrimp have a good crunch. MaPo Tofu- Went with a veggie option (minus the pork) as it was a flavor bomb but a little strong on the sichuan peppercorns. Waguy Truffle fried rice- little bits of beef but the rice itself had the truffle essence and it was needed to pair with the other dishes. Busy Friday night but the service was quick, friendly and efficient. read more

Group dinner review. Came here with 7 people on a weekday. It was completely empty at the time compared to all the crazy long lines at places next door. At first glance and seeing the name, I thought this was a fast casual spot with Chinese style burritos. I was pleasantly surprised by the end. FOOD was not cheap but tasted great. We ordered the honey walnut prawn, truffle wagyu fried rice* (popular), kung pao chicken (not spicy), Mongolian wagyu beef* (very good), cold cucumber salad, Sichuan green beans*, crab roe noodles*, salt and pepper calamari, crab roe pork potstickers, and white rice. Everything tasted good with highlights with asterisks. The chef in the back even gave us an early preview of a steamed dish coming soon. Yum. The service was super fast. Good came out quickly (except pot stickers take 10-15 min). Water was always refilled without asking. Came out to around $35 person with 7 people. read more

Starting with the good. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely nothing to complain about there. What let us down was the food. To be clear it's not bad. It's just not good for the price. I know it's in Valley Fair mall so the price will be higher than other places, but I do expect the taste to be better. The walnut prawns had too much dough. The Shanghai crab noodles was interesting but the sauce was more egg flavor than crab, which was disappointing. The string beans was good though. We're unlikely to be back just because there are plenty of other better options at Valley Fair at this price point. read more

Came by the mall today after a quick dental appointment and wanted something quick and easy to have for lunch without having to wait in long lines or contemplating the menu too much. Passed by this place a few times and their sign outside caught my eye. Decided to come in and try out their Pork soup dumplings (XLB) and the Plum Tea drink. The wait staff were really nice and helpful with items they ahead on their menu. It's nice that they have the chefs that prepare the dumplings out on the floor to showcase their skills and preparations. Food was really good and now I have an new place to get some soup dumplings read more

Ambience was great. Line was not long, so no complaints. We got a two seater and thay were things got interesting. We ordered the Mongolian Wagyu Beef Wrap Typhoon Shelter Shrimp, Pork and Scallion Dumpling, and Crab Meat Noodles. Mongolian Beef was alright but nothing to sneeze about. Beef was tastey and tender from the sizzling plate with a sweet glaze on it. The shrimp was bland together with the dumpling. Crab Meat Noodle was weird. Noodles were instant and the crab meat was average. Total together with Sprite and the chilled sour plum totaled to just over $106 as expected of a resto in Valley Fair. They have a promo of two chocolate banana dumlings when you show them a current review either on Yelp or Google, but for me, I did a Yelp review and showed it to them, just to be told to wait 6 mins. Waited 8 mins and nada. Walked out of that joint. This place was a bleh. I mean if I would spend that amount of money, I would like the meal to be superb and when the free stuff should come when it was supposed to then it should; however, it did not happened. Sad. read more

The Mongolian wagyu beef was really good. The texture of the beef was very tender. The seasoning was delicious, it packed a bit of heat. (4/5) Chinatown Chow Mein, was pretty good. The noodles had good texture, seasoning was on point. Though, not a lot of protein in the chow mein. Overall not bad (3.5/5). Cheesy waygu potstickers, the cheese overpowered the beef flavor. The sauce was pretty interesting, tasted like it had plum in it, a creamy plum sauce(?) All together the flavors did not go well with each other, there's too much conflicting flavors, the cheese overpowered the beef, the sauce clashes with the cheese. (1/5) read more

I had one of those "wow, I'm really in the Bay and eating this?!" moments... this crab roe noodle was legit. The noodles are coated in rich crab roe, and with a splash of black vinegar it just hits different--super fragrant and balanced. I've had a lot of crab roe noodles back in Shanghai, and honestly this one holds up, nothing to complain about. You can actually taste the texture of the roe in every bite. Their soup dumplings (xiao long bao) are also really well done--made fresh, wrapped and steamed to order, with zero gamey smell. The wrappers are hand-rolled using a traditional double-rolling-pin technique, so they're slightly thicker in the center and thinner on the edges. That makes them light but still strong enough to hold all the soup inside--definitely takes skill. Tried the chocolate banana lava soup dumplings for the first time and was honestly surprised--in a good way. It's basically dessert in dumpling form. Strong banana flavor, and it literally bursts when you bite into it. The flaming teppanyaki wagyu wrap is another house favorite. I noticed a lot of non-Chinese customers ordering it--it's kind of a fusion dish. The beef is super tender, slightly on the sweeter side flavor-wise. read more

We selected the truffle fried rice, typhoon shrimp, and the lotus root - and the flavors were pretty good compared! It was a fun addition to put truffle flavors that spread throughout the fried rice providing a slightly different umami than your typical fried rice The shrimp was not too spicy for me and had a great crunch with the crispy garlic/bread crumbs. Adding the crisp to our fried rice was a great addition too The lotus root was flat out amazing. Be sure to grab this ! Highly addictive with their sweet and sour sauce. It's a bit spicier than the shrimp read more

This new spot for Chinese fusion cuisine recently opened up and took over where Goldhill Bistro used to be. Looking for a quick bite for dinner to eat, we decided to give it a try tonight. Their menu was very interesting and incorporated a lot of wagyu and crab roe based dishes. First of all, I would like to highlight the service here, which was great. Melody was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. My biggest gripe these days is how service in general at many places has gone downhill yet the expectation for tip has either been the same or have increased. Nowadays, most places just leave water at the table for us to serve ourselves, if that. Melody not only refilled our water cups as we ate to make sure we always had some but also helped packed our leftovers for us (also rare to happen these days). We were also given complementary hot and sour soup before our meal which was not only a nice touch but was also pretty tasty. What we ordered: -Wagyu and truffle fried rice (4/5): this dish was light and not overly oily compared to other Chinese restaurants, which I appreciated. The flavor was good but the wagyu and truffle flavor was pretty mild, so it didn't really stand out as much as I would've expected. I would ask for some chili oil to add some spice to the dish. -Braised soy duck (4/5): flavor was great and well balanced, however the duck was a bit on the drier side. I tend to prefer my duck to be more tender and moist. -Wagyu potstickers (4.5/5): these were really good and you can definitely taste the wagyu. However, the sauce that came with it (a thousand island aioli sauce?) did not pair well and took away from the wagyu flavor. Instead I decided to use the sauce from braised duck dish as a dipping sauce for it which worked perfectly. Overall, I had a great experience and appreciated the efforts to try and have a creative spin on traditional Chinese cuisine. read more

Tried out this restaurant the other day because we actually loved gold hill bistro that used to be in this location. Unfortunately, it didn't meet the mark.. Stick & wok kept almost all the same decor as gold hill bistro (elegant and warm), but all of their posters & graphics indicated a different vibe (bold & trendy). Was a little weird. Anyway, the posters did draw my eye to the wagyu cheese potstickers, because that sounded amazing, so we ordered that, cucumber with garlic, Mongolian beef, and also chow mein noodle. First of all, I was really let down by the Wagyu cheese potstickers. The Wagyu just tasted like regular ground beef, and I think I was expecting some sort of cheese pull type situation, but instead it was more a cheesy taste.. so it ended up just tasting like a hamburger wrapped in a potsticker skin. Also, not all of the potstickers skins were cooked through.. lastly, it was served with thousand island sauce! It was just weird, not innovative. The cucumber with garlic had no garlic.. and was sweet and vinegary. Again, not what I had wanted or envisioned when I ordered the dish. The chow mein was thick and al dente, not much chewiness. Not much wok flavor, sort of bland. Chicken was tender. The Mongolian beef is good, probably my favorite dish. Very strong flavors. All in all, sort of a bland good.. nothing memorable. Service was fine, nothing to remark on. Wouldn't come back. read more

Had a nice experience at this new restaurant that took over Goldhill Bistro in Valley Fair! Ordered the wagyu and truffle potstickers, wagyu and truffle fried rice, and soy braised duck. My partner and I also received a complimentary hot and sour soup! Definitely a fun fusion experience with wagyu and truffle flavors! The potstickers were an interesting black color which I imagine is some sort of black truffle glaze. The flavor is subtle, but not overly subtle where you feel like you got tricked into buying it. It was served with something like a thousand islands sauce, which wasn't terrible, but very unexpected. We ended up using the sauce from the duck for them and it worked out perfectly for us. The fried rice was really good! Again a subtle truffle flavor, but not one you're searching deep for. I'd definitely order this dish again! The soy duck was also good. Fairly moist and tender. A solid dish, but I'm definitely curious about other options for the next time. Overall great experience! Pricing is pretty fair and approachable. Would try again and try other dishes! read more

We ordered some combo meals (the one person portions) and they were not served together. The protein was served first, then 5-10 minutes later the accompanying rice or noodle arrived - weird to have them separated. The Kung Pao chicken was drowning in heavy salty sauce, and the meat was very dry. Walnut shrimp was good, but it was again served much sooner than the accompanying noodles. Overall the food was mediocre. One positive is that it's not so crowded during lunchtime, so if you want more space and privacy this is an option. read more

Pretty good! Service was polite and nice. Prices seemed pretty reasonable at around $20 for the main dishes. We got the Mongolian Wagyu Beef and the Crab Roe Tofu. Both were pretty good. With two servings of rice added, we were stuffed with a little bit of leftovers. I thought the Mongolian beef had a little bit of heat in a tasty sauce, maybe with some wok flavor but I wouldn't be able to tell. The crab roe tofu went great with the rice. read more

I don't know how to describe this place?! It's along the lines of classic Asian-american, with elements of Shanghai and Beijing cuisines. I believe they're going for an elevated Asian American dining experience with premium ingredients like wagyu and truffle sprinkled throughout the menu. - Wagyu cheese potstickers 7.5/10 | seems like their star item. very umami. Feels blasphemous because it's served with ranch but it works! - Shanghai crab meat and roe noodle 9/10 | creamy and delicious crab flavor - beef tongue salad 9/10 | thin tongue slices over shredded lettuce and sesame dressing, refreshing. - black truffle cream soup 6.5/10 | yum but nothing special I would recommend trying different kinds of potstickers and highly suggest ordering the Shanghai crab noodle. Do bring friends since most portions are family style! They also offer set meals on weekdays, which sounded like a good deal! The service was fast, and I also liked the ambiance and overall cleanliness of the restaurant. read more

Updated menu - the combos are no longer available every day as shown on the pics, but weekday lunches only (11 am - 2:30 pm). Wagyu and black truffle fried rice was the best dish for sure - super fragrant with the steak pieces and truffle. Tasted different from beef fried rice somehow. The taste of truffle wasn't prominent but I guess it did add an extra something to the dish. Definitely a must-order. We received this dish first so I think it set the tone for the other ones. Unfortunately they had sold out of the crispy garlic shrimp the night before so we'll have to return to try it! The honey walnut shrimp we ordered instead wasn't super crispy (since covered in sauce) and had a slightly more salty than sweet flavor profile but sauce tasted pretty standard. Cheesy wagyu potstickers tasted pretty similar to a cheeseburger with the beef, cheese, and onions inside and came with thousand island dressing. The bottom was fried but overall it was the softer kind and maybe not fully boiled beforehand because the dough on some of the pieces still seemed a little bit undercooked... Service was excellent and attentive - at some point we were struggling to eat the well-separated fried rice grains with the pointier chopsticks and were immediately given spoons. We also received a free signature drink for the Yelp review, which was unsweetened green tea with cheese foam. We ended up mixing the cheese foam in since the tea itself wasn't strong in any way. read more

Food was surprisingly delectable at stick & wok. I thought it might taste like typical Americanized Chinese food in order to cater people of diversity, yet the food remained authentic and savory, undulating with a twist of creativity. Black truffle, beef cube and egg combined in rice? Sign me up! It tasted divine! Curry shrimp in Hong Kong style, a dish to die for. Not overseasoned nor salty. Ample fresh tender large shrimps bathed in thickening curry sauce that had the perfect balance of spiciness and sweetness. The best dish we've ordered. Mongolian wagyu beef had very tender beef that melted in your mouth, and above all, a refined presentation. Wok wrap - what an innovative way to make your own wrap with tender lamb meat and fresh veggies on a hot iron sizzler. Food had very minimum msg. Plum juice was bitter and sweet, original, not watered-down, and worth the price. Service was friendly, attentive and kind. Our female serve refilled our water, brought extra napkins, asked about the food, and helped pack to-go box. She was very respectful to me, thus so deserving my tip. The environment was clean, organized and spacious. Located inside valley fair, as a result it was pricey. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and service and will love to try other choices in the next visit. read more
