    Salt and pepper wings
    Vanessa C.

    Got some food to go here again and they absolutely crushed it! They have my new favorite wings. The flavor in each bite was ridiculously savory. Decided to try their dim sum this time. Har gow was plump with shrimp and I think ginger. The shu mai were large and had a delicious filling that left me wanting more. The BBQ pork fried rice was fluffy and they gave us a large portion. My friend and I shared it all and agreed they have not disappointed and is probably our new go to Chinese local spot. I already want more of their wings! Mmm!

    I tried Tokyo Express under the new management for the first time, and am happy that I did. I took out the lunch chicken combo ($9.95 + $1.50 chow main upgrade =$11.50) and a full order of BBQ fried rice. ($11.95) Good food. No surprise. It felt like good ol' Chinese food. No authentic hidden foreign spices. Good sweetness and saltiness, not too greasy. WOW! A LOT OF FOOD! The takeout containers were packed with food. Two adults ate the two dishes for two meals. GREAT PRICE! In addition, they are having the 10% off promotion. Can't beat the value! The lady at the counter was nice, the food came out quickly while I waited. I would call in ahead next time. The only con was that the chicken pieces had a skin on them in the chicken lunch. I just don't like chicken skin so much. My hubby does not like Chinese food in general, but he approved their BBQ fried rice to repeat! Yay! Open till 8:00 for dinner takeout now.

    Stopped by on a Wednesday evening. First time here and we had a great experience. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Always checking on us to see if we needed anything. The food was yummy! My favorite: the walnut shrimp and cream cheese wontons. I'd definitely order those again. But they have an extensive menu so I'll be back to try something different. There's plenty of parking and lots of tables and chairs to sit inside. We dined in but it looked like they get a lot of to go / pick up orders.

    I'm usually ordering their lunch special during my lunch breaks but decided to grab a couple items for dinner and I have to say the food did not disappoint.

    I would also pass by this place often and it caught my eye, I wanted to enjoy some time to myself and eat a good meal so I finally walked in, The setting was nice, I felt comfortable especially when I was greeted by the friendly man, He had great energy and his mannerism was on point, He made me feel at home and acknowledged me, He told me what type of food they offered and listed the different options of the versatile menu, He seated me and brought me out a snack while waiting, I went for the Teriyaki bento box, The flavors were delicious and the serving had me full, I already started eating before taking a photo, He made sure to be attentive to anything I needed, Great customer service and great food, I'm definitely coming back!

    I loved the service and food. The owner, I presume, was super friendly. Their crispy beef was very good.

    Ambiance good. Service horrible. Came in for the lunch and they told us we had to leave in 20…read moreminutes because they were closing at 2:30 even if we were going to sit down and eat at that time. This is bad practice for a restaurant if you're already eating in the restaurant they shouldn't kick you out because they are closing for an hour. This should allow you to eat at your pace. We decide not to stay we went to Chin's instead

    Gourmet Wok is easily one of my favorite Chinese spots in all of California. It's family-owned,…read moresuper clean, and feels like the kind of restaurant you'd see in a movie and think, "Man, I wish that place was real." We ordered orange chicken, combo fried rice, wonton soup, and cream cheese puffs. Every single thing was delicious. The orange chicken had the perfect crispy texture with a sweet, tangy sauce. The fried rice actually had flavor, not just soy sauce dumped on top. Wonton soup was clean and comforting. And those cream cheese puffs? Golden and addictive. The prices are very fair, especially considering how good the food is and how generous the portions are. You can tell the family running it takes pride in what they're serving. The decor is authentic in that classic and comforting way. Now here's the thing. It might show up as a 3.5 star spot, but don't let that fool you. This place is a perfect example of the "3.5 star rule." It's the kind of place that's actually better than a lot of those hyped-up influencer-approved restaurants with inflated ratings. You come here once and you'll get it.
