Wacky Wok has great takeout service and the process is quick, but the rest of the experience needs improvement. Located at 2805 Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, the pricing is now ridiculous for takeout Chinese. This change in price from lunch to dinner is just a ripoff, as you see a $5 to $7 change in price almost begging you not order. Steamed rice is now $2.95 and the Chicken with Broccoli is $16.95 and the Chicken Lo Mein is $13.95. My bill was $42.00 plus a $5.00 or nearly $50 for a one-person, takeout order with no beverage! I can go to an area restaurant with food far superior for the same price. The number is (310) 822-7373 and the web address is www.wackywokca.com The place is falling apart inside and is in dire need of a facelift. While the food is okay, the cost to value is not existent. I wish I could recommend and it will be awhile before I order again. They seem just indifferent to their pricing. read more

Our food was terrible!!! - the hot and sour soup had no veggies at all - the rice terrible because it was uncooked !!! Dangerous for health and the orange chicken was bland no orange flavor at all - Will never return to this place employees are the rudest ever too!! Bad experience in a rainy day choosing the wrong place to buy food- read more

Wacky Wok - Hard and raw - Chinese Near Me - Venice, California

A den of thieves. Ordered on Door Dash, a Wacky Wok partner. Sent the order and noted three times the order of vegetable spring rolls. Called DD and they responded after two minutes that they couldn't change the order. Called Wacky Wok and they said the order was already out for delivery. Really! Within three minutes? That means the food has been sitting around waiting to be delivered! Nothing fresh about it. Customer for 15 years and won't order again. read more

Yum! The chicken soup and tempura shrimp and NY egg roll are delicious. Our first time here and we'll be back for more. read more

My first visit to this establishment was May 23, 2025. It describes itself as a New York style Chinese. When I asked what was meant by New York style, the wait person waved her arms in a circle , smiled and said "bigger." my impression is the majority of their business is Takeaway. Indoor seating is for about 12 people and is casual decor. I dined in and enjoyed it. The kitchen is visible, and is certainly very high energy and high production. The menu has many choices, most of which will look familiar to anybody who does much Chinese dining. I had shrimp with lobster sauce and steamed rice. A very big portion, and nicely cooked shrimp. Price is very reasonable. read more

Oh my goodness the orange tofu was literally like just drinking dark corn syrup. There was nothing orange about it. Same with the eggplant. The hot and sour Soup was was like 80% cornstarch and the thing shook and jiggled like Jell-O. It was absolutely disgusting and felt like you were slurping up snot. Nothing about this tastes like authentic Chinese food. I ordered five dishes and, literally nothing. read more

I got catering for a group of 20 people and the food was amazing! Everyone loved it and food was ready on time. Your guests will love it!! (: read more

The food and the cook are good, but the server , a very rude female has stressed me out, and I will never be returning for dine in . She is definitely not a multitasker and very forgetful. Mind you , we were the only dine in customer. She was yelling at the cook the whole time we were there . I've been coming to this location for over 30 years and I gave it just one more chance and that's it. read more

Reliably good NY dialect Chinese food. The egg rolls are just the way I remember and like. read more

Prices are cheap food is avg to lousy. Orange chicken ok. Costco brand is better. The fried rice for the side was laughable. It was rice w sit sauce. Their egg roll was good. I ordered general tsao (sp) chicken. F ing inedible. I'm not what part of the chicken they served me, but it was the worst. Btw the hot sour soup was decent. I'd skip this place in the future. We were the only table eating. read more

Hole in the wall Chinese joint that slaps! Only order to go and always ask for extra crispy and extra sauce. Food portion is absurd and will definitely have leftovers! Fast, efficient, delicious, and inexpensive! read more

First time was great, came back to my second time around, was greeted with a bad attitude lady. She was very extremely rude. When we can in, it was 10:53, we were told that restaurant was closed by the cook, but it will be open in 11am, I said no problem, ask if we can sit until 11. The cook said yes. 11am another customer comes in and also waits,Now it 11:10 a lady Comes in (Late), spoke to the cooks and takes order from the other customer, and I speak up, told her that I was here before him, give me an attitude, told me. That his food is to go and I was going to dining in. I told here that doesn't matter, she ignored me took his order, the she had the audacity to tell the restaurant doesn't open until 11:30 even though that in front of restaurant say open 11 and even the cook told us it opened at 11. I just got up and left, the cook tried to talk to us, but I will not get disrespected, while am trying to buy food from your organization. Take this with a grain of salt. If it was not for disrespectful lady, we would ate there, the food is good. read more

Good food Tasty meal for quick Chinese food Local vibes with polite staff and friendly people thru out Next order will be larger for sure read more

The best chinese fried chicken in west la. The orange chicken is exceptional; you should buy it. The rest of the menu is average. But the service is excellent, and the orange chicken is divine. read more

Low quality Chinese food that doesn't warrant the price. King pao shrimp, chow fun, and orange chicken was all flavorless and tasted old and not fresh. Orange chicken was exceptionally bad read more

Food is great Service is done well I'm glad my son told me about it I'm 72 and can hardly move after being hit by car. I love sweet and sour chicken. To me you have the best sauce and if asked you add extra veggies . To me it's the biggest treat that I enjoy. read more

It's been my goto for Chinese food since I moved to the neighborhood last year. Good food, always consistent, and fast. I've always found it hard to find good Chinese food here but this place is a killer! read more

did not deliver my food. Do not use GrubHub to order from them. would not answer the phone.

My goto Chinese takeout in LA, both locations are great.. real NY style egg rolls and some awesome fried rice and lo mein...

I live pretty far from Wacky Wok but whenever I am in the area, I visit. The food is just so good. I have been to a lot of Chinese takeout places but this is one of the best. The wacky wok chicken is my personal favorite! Definitely check this place out!!! ;) read more

The dishes I ordered were so bad I threw them out. The yellow curry veggies were unedible; the sauce was extremely salty. They used curry powder and not curry paste. Both dishes were listed as spicy. My grandma could have handled this level of spiciness. read more

i find this place the worst service ever!!! the person taking the order for "takeout " so RUDE!!!! and check your order before leaving the restaurant because you don't want to be frustrated (after all the trouble waiting in line and dealing with the rude person/taking the order but YES the food is good though read more

As a former New Yorker, I have been pining for classic NYC Chinese food, which doesn't really exist here in Southern California. This was a taste of home. We will be back again and again. read more

Chicken is Crispy, Big Shareable portions. Eat there. Food is even better straight out of the Wok. Pork Fried Rice is always I drive 20-30min to get here. The service is great. I came on Wednesday night. read more

The only reason that I'm giving two stars is because I ate a little of both the beef, lo mein, and the orange chicken. But I have to say this was one of the biggest letdowns I've had. Baja Cantina is the other today What is happening to take out food in Venice? Wacky Wok has been my go to local Chinese place since 1995. I'm never going back there again because the orange chicken is now dreadful and the beef lo mein which is such a simple basic dish is just a huge disappointment. On the plus side they delivered this bad food quickly . read more

This is by far the BEST Chinese food in Southern California! Attentive to ALL paying customers! Dine in or takeout. The food quality is outstanding. I get my usual NY egg roll, wonton soup and fried rice with chicken and shrimp. Chicken and shrimp in every bite, no less! It's located in a nice strip mall right behind the gas station in Washington and Abbott Kinney. I eat here at least 2 to 3 times per week. That alone should tell you..... read more

These guys are great. I had a minor mixup on my order and not only did they make it right, they threw in a couple add ons, were very fast, and very friendly. And the food is fantastic! If you want some Chinese takeout comfort food at reasonable prices on the west side of LA, this is the place to go. And the vibe there was way cooler than it had any right to be. Orange chicken spicy is highly recommended read more

So disappointed with this place! Food was nasty, no flavor. The beef for the Mongolian beef and beef lo main was spoiled. Smelled and tasted bad and had to throw it away. The fried rice with shrimp was flavorless. The shrimp was just thrown in there after and didn't pick up any flavor so it was bland. The main dishes didn't come with white rice and ALL of the other Chinese and Thai food places give you white rice with main dishes. Very pricey for what we got and threw away half because it was spoiled old beef. Will not come back and I do not recommend. read more

The food tastes great. The prices are reasonable but, we ordered a large wonton soup and it was smallish plus, there were only 4 won ton. Who's h, is surprising as, we have eaten here before and not had any issue. They only do take nowadays which, makes a lot of sense. Less overhead for sure. But really, 4 wonton? read more

stupid delivery order!!!! bad idea not to automatically add sweet & sour sauce with spring rolls (vegetable) --why should customer have to add sauce to an egg roll order--and who wants dry egg rolls! it costs nothing to automatically add sweet & sour sauce -- owners and staff should have common sense--but apparently don't! The food is not good. Appears as old -- as if cooked day before and reheated. Will definitely NOT order again nor dine in at this restaurant. read more

Just picked up some takeout and I am literally ashamed to call this the food of my people. It is barely edible! Honey walnut shrimp lunch special - The batter on the shrimp is so rockhard that I could barely get to the shrimp itself! And when I did, it was chewy. Gah! It feels as though they served me three day old shrimp in 5 day old batter! And the fried rice is just pretty much rice with soy sauce. The broccoli that's served with it has zero flavor. Not a smidge of salt was found. Pan fried noodles with thin noodles - um... how old were these noodles? They were pretty much raw and not edible at all... Even with the sauce soaking in the noodles. Not crispy... raw. The shrimp on this thing was the only thing that was decent. And snap peas were good. Overall, tho, this dish was gross. And all I could smell when I opened the container was bamboo shoots. Yuck. Spring rolls - not good either... How can you mess up spring rolls? And at two pieces for five dollars... They need to do better. Barely crispy... And just filled with cabbage. And they give you sweet and sour sauce in packets. I had such a hankering for some good Chinese food today... And sad to say, I still am... Did they change ownership or something? What a disappointment. This used to be my go-to spot for Chinese food. Never again. Nasty. * I haven't written a review in a few years... But this one was necessary, if just to remind myself never to eat here again. read more
