As always - the service was excellent, the food delicious, and the ambience perfect. This is a great family vibe type of restaurant. They have lunch specials Monday to Saturday, which is rare. Not too loud so conversation while eating is nice. One of my fave chill spots for Chinese food! read more

This review is mostly about about service, or the lack of it. We have been here a handful of times with a group of 10 to 15, hoping each time that the level of service would improve. Here is what's going on. This latest visit was serviced by Zoran, but previous visits have suffered the same problems. An inordinate amount of time is required to provide everyone with a drink, even though many of our group order only water. The order taking is somewhat chaotic, although it appears that the server is making relevant notes about who orders what and who is together. Then the waiting begins. A few of the smaller items (soup, salad) emerge from the kitchen in maybe 30 minutes, the entrees don't start appearing before we have been seated for more than an hour, often longer. And this was a Wednesday afternoon--we arrived before 5:00 pm--when the restaurant was not near full and we had made a reservation the previous day. The food is generally good, if rather lightly seasoned. But I can recall no inquiries from the server about beverage refills; our requests for this require, again, an inordinate amount of time to fulfill. More than once our server made the trip from the kitchen to our table carrying only a single item, then back again, apparently, for another item that sometimes doesn't appear. When it's obvious that everyone is virtually finished with their food, the only way for us to receive our bills was to flag sown our server who finally appears with several slips of paper and absolutely no idea of who has ordered what, in spite of apparently making notes during the ordering process and delivering the majority of the dishes to our table himself. We finally all received our bills, but about half of our group failed to receive the traditional fortune cookie at all. Here's the thing: this pattern over several visits of the lack of server attention and skill is should be directly laid at the feet of management. Every server has to start somewhere, but the success and future of the restaurant largely depends on the work of the servers; poor service taints an otherwise good experience, even if the food is perfect. Not to mention the fact that servers are the sales people for potential extra revenue, e.g., upscale beverages, deserts, etc. We are reconsidering whether to return here as a group in the future, but over two hours for a meal seems excessive. read more

Came for Father's Day lunch & left mostly satisfied. Luckily I made reservations because it was very busy that day, as was our waitress who was sometimes around...the other waiters noticed our needs & addressed them. The soups were hot, but some of the mains came out a bit lukewarm. We all left with full stomachs & leftovers. I plan on coming back on a less busier day!! read more

My brother ordered some food from this place. I had some of the fried rice and green beans with pork spare ribs. The rice wasn't too bad. Not greasy at all. It was pretty tasty. I really liked the green beans. It was cooked crisp and full of garlic flavor. The spare ribs were tender and flavorful. I didn't get to try other items. But I wouldn't mind trying them out if in the area again. read more

Wok of Flame - Chinese Near Me - Davis, California

The service, food and ambiance really made this place. We came tonight and unfortunately their AC had gone out but that's out of their control. We got the family special for 3. Came with egg rolls, skewers, 3 dishes and choice of chow mein or rice. We were STUFFED. We went with honey walnut shrimp - leans more towards the sweet taste of honey 8/10 Lemon chicken it wasn't bad but it's hard to not compare it to other places where I've loved it 7/10 Hunan beef definitely came with the kick and was tasty 8.5/10 Tons of left overs. We will be back for the overall package! read more

UNWOW FACTOR? Yes, the food was decidedly bland - what happened? HAVE AGAIN: Well, the chow mein with pork was good, although the pork was tough and scarce. NOT HAVE AGAIN: Hey! These are some of my favorites, but not this time. Crab wontons were overcooked. Lemon chicken had little lemon flavor. General Chicken was way too bland. And honey walnut shrimp was oddly not so good. What happened? read more

We came here because a coworker recommended this spot & they weren't wrong!!! This place is fantastic!!! The person who sat us was also our waitress, Catalina, & she was fantastic!!! Place is cute, w/ table & booths, & plenty of windows w/ that natural light. We decided 2 get the cream cheese wontons & the pot stickers. The wontons were phenomenal!!!! Pot stickers were ok, wish there was more filling in them so they weren't my favorite. We got a platter that came w/ a cup of soup (we chose wonton soup), an appetizer (we chose an eggroll), choice of side (we chose the pork fried rice) & an entree (we chose the honey walnut shrimp) & it was under $20!!!! The eggroll was also dipped in tempura so it was delightfully crunchy!!!! A huge pile of the pork fried rice & it didn't disappoint!!! The honey walnut shrimp was perfect!!!! The wonton soup was delish & piping hot!!! Now that we have found this spot, we will definitely come back & recommend it 2 every1!!! Well done!!! read more

Great spot for Chinese food. Good service and tasty food. Ambiance is of a nice Chinese food spot, which it is. Recommend this area of Davis and giving Wok of Flame a try. read more

Stopped for dinner had eaten here in the past and after tonight's dinner I know why I didn't go back before tonight. Ordered the lemon chicken it was good tried to order chicken and green beans was told they were out of green beans so went with lemon chicken. Funny they are walking distance to a great market Nugget and they have green beans. I normally enjoy a good combo or house special chow mein but not tonight, had 3 shrimp and hard to find chicken and beef and vegetables found at most restaurants. The noodles were chewy and I didn't bother taking leftovers home. Big disappointment and for the money I'd expect better. read more

Great service. Nice decor. Plenty of food. Order less than what you think you need unless you want a lot of leftovers. Hot and sour soup was very flavorful! Figure out early on if you want to have dessert. Special treat.....Gunther's Ice Cream! read more

Food and service was great but ambiance was out dated. The food was made fresh, which is not typical. The restaurant was packed with many regulars. The prices were a little high for lunch but it was very good amd generous portions. read more

The service and employees were wonderful, the food not so much. The spicy edamame was bland, no flavor. The wonton soup was flavorless, the "broth" was basically water. Fried rice was not good at all. Of all the entrees ordered by our party of 5, only the chow mein was good. We will not be returning. read more

Used to go here every other week when I was in college. Good portions with fair prices. One of the best Chinese-american restaurants in town. I've had almost the whole menu at this point and if you don't know what to get, the dynamite chicken is something you can't go wrong with. The spicy pork ribs and the spicy eggplant is really good too. Food comes fast and servers are very polite. Hope this place stays around until the next time I come back to town. read more

The food was very good and the people were very nice!!!! The place is very clean and comfortable.

Delicious! Love bringing the family! Always hot and fresh. Mmm. Highly recommend! The salt and pepper mushrooms are yummy.

Love the noodle dishes. Terrific service and very nice people. We did takeout and our order was perfect!

Came here for dinner on a Friday night since we were passing by. It was early and there were already a few diners. Restaurant is clean and spacious. Servers were quick and polite. We ordered potstickers, moo Shu vegetables, braised tofu, and broccoli with chicken. Everything was ok except for the moo Shu vegetables. Served already wrapped and they're huge! Since they were wrapped, they got soggy and fell apart easily. I'm accustomed to wrapping them as I eat. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable meal. read more

Always excellent service, especially Brandon. Great Hot and Sour soup, and Calamari. A favorite place for Chinese for many years. Moo Shi pork is my favorite. read more

I haven't found a better generals chicken than here! Also their chow-mien noodles are super flavorful and just the perfect texture! I've only had the chance to dine in twice and the both times the service was great and we barely had a wait. It's clean and the vibe is super chill. I've noticed that when you dine in you get spoiled with having complimentary soup, even with the lunch special! So when I have the time, we dine in otherwise I always call in my order and pick up then enjoy at home. One thing to add is that the parking here can get wild since it is shared with other businesses. I usually park closer to Starbucks or Nugget and then get the extra steps in. My go to place for when I'm craving generals chicken mmm!! read more

Another family owned Chinese restaurant that reminds of the one I grew up in. They have great sizzling rice soup. That's what you oughta get when you sick and sick of pho. Other times I get the cherry glazed fish. Don't knock out till you try it! Letter of Rec: B++ read more

Very generous portions of delicious food. We got the the family style trio meal at a pretty decent price for the amount they gave--chicken, beef, fried rice, pork, with sides of wonton soup and beef skewers for each of us. Our server was super friendly as he helped us through the options and made us feel very welcomed. Overall, one of the better Chinese spots in Davis. read more

Wok of Flame - Me 1. Mongolian Beef - Chinese Near Me - Davis, California

Always great! Just got Hot & Sour Soup the best! Other food on the menu is fabulous, generous and reasonable price.

Compared to the first place my boyfriend and I went to this evening, Wok of Flame seemed glorious. Wanted to celebrate Lunar New Year with Chinese food we have not tried yet and this was the next best thing we saw on Yelp. Upon entering, we were greeted with a delicious scent. The establishment looked clean and seeing several people there was already a good sign. We were attended to right away. The price of the plates were reasonable. Decent portions too. We ordered: - Green Beans in Garlic Sauce (1/5 -- way too sweet for my liking and they did too much with adding all the extra ingredients. I was expecting and hoping for just green beans and garlic sauce) - Egg Flour Soup (2.5/5 -- Very bland without soy sauce) - Honey Walnut Shrimp (3.5/5 -- Sweeter than I'm used to and only 2 pieces of walnuts... but they were generous with the shrimp) - Orange Chicken (3/5 -- I liked that they put it over a bed of orange slices. Good flavor. But some chicken pieces looked dry) - Shrimp Chow Mein (4/5 -- VERY simple but flavorful. Shrimp was bland. The one true comfort food in this order) Bill came out to about $72. Would we come back? If our favorite Chinese restaurant was closed for whatever reason. read more

We're back to welcome in 2025.We like the family atmosphere and the snappy service. That said, the wor-wonton soup broth as disappointing, but rich in content/goodies and big servings; bbq pork w crisp veggies was ok also plentiful. We're still exploring Chinese cafes in Davis. read more

Wok of Flame - Where's the fortune cookie/ - Chinese Near Me - Davis, California

Was craving Chinese food and sometimes hard to find good Chinese food around. We enjoyed the dry beef chow fun, but next time will pass on the egg food yung pork. We like our egg foo yung with more gravy and crispier but the pork on top of it was good. We also got the cream cheese wontons which are always a classic. Next time we will try the honey walnut shrimp. read more

The place is pretty clean. Service is fast and on time if it's not too busy. Lunch time gets pretty packed. Orange chicken- pretty good. Not too sweet. Sesame chicken- tastes like the orange chicken chicken with the added sesame seeds. I should have ordered a different dish. Chicken fried rice- Real good. I would order this again. Beef broccoli- This was the most unsavory beef broccoli I've had. I think it has star anise in it and I don't like star anise. The food automatically comes with MSG, but the good thing is you can request NO MSG. read more

Once a month, every time I'm in davis, I eat at this restaurant . Unlike most Chinese restaurants, the food is not greasy but fresh and tasty . They have brown rice and the steamed vegetables are not overcooked but nicely crisp . Just right . I always ask for Brandon as my server . He makes sure my dining experience is excellent . Definitely a thumbs up read more

Save your money. Go to Panda Express. They at least give you generous portions. This place is sub par on quality and meager portions. Waste of food and money. The owner also is present and doesn't care to put wet floor signs up when it's pouring rain outside. read more

Wok of Flame - The saddest looking wings known to man. - Chinese Near Me - Davis, California

This was horrible. Food was ordered in the morning at 10:30am to be available for pick up after 4:30 pm and nothing was ready and they cancelled the order and didn't call to say it was cancelled. Then had me re-order everything. I asked why the person that ordered wasn't called and they said, "I don't know". Horrible. This establishment has gone down hill. The service has got really bad, not sure why. Even the manager just looked and didn't say much when I asked what happened and just said sorry, it won't happen again and walked away. The front door person never even mentioned it to the manager. read more
