DO NOT ORDER ON MOBILE APPS! We placed a order through uber, and without any notice they up charged us $16!!!! I disputed the up charge with uber, and uber advised that if we cancelled our order, that we would not receive any money back, and that the merchant would be allowed to keep the money. Screw that, my order total was $23 prior to the upcharge, and now I owe them $40!? What kind of robbery is that? I would've just went to a nice restaurant and ordered way better food for that price. Now I wish I would've done some research before ordering from them seeing 3 stars on google and 3.3 stars on yelp. Literally order from anywhere else or face a random up charge that you cannot get back. Unless you just like loosing money and eating luke warm food read more

Best Chinese spot in the Carrollwood area. I've been eating here for almost 10 years and the food has been perfect every single time. Clean establishment, great and hot food, and the family is awesome. Much respect to this restaurant. How it only has 3 stars is beyond me. read more

Always a good family owned restaurant with great food. Been going there for years. Great food for good price

Mannnnn the shrimp are huge And the fried rice is delectable honestly only thing keeping The Crown away is the lack of Yang/Young Chow Fried Rice LOL Keep up the Great work read more

This review is based on my solo experience as a private diner getting takeout for myself to consume at home. I am planning on hiring Wok on By to cater/provide food for an upcoming teacher luncheon for 70+ educators during our school's version of Teacher Appreciation Week. I can't wait to provide a follow up review regarding that experience after it occurs near the end of April. For now, I can speak to the deliciousness of their Veggie Lo Mein (they even cooked it to order --without mushrooms, as I kindly requested), steamed white rice, and Honey chicken! Lots of fortune cookies made me happy. Food was ordered and ready in under 15 minutes, and it stayed hot and fresh for almost 40 minutes before I could dig in. Next time, I would like to try the general TSO's chicken, and maybe the chicken and broccoli dish. I'm still debating on what protein platter to order for our teachers (Vegetable Lo Mein is definitely a win) but regardless, I am confident that Wok on By is our best local and family-owned restaurant to choose for celebrating our middle school teachers! read more

To start, walking in to a dirty and disorganized store with no AC on, a man sweating in front of a fan (who was the cook), I should have ran for the hills. But I had already ordered and paid for my food. The food was not great and to be honest had me feeling pretty bad later that night. I ordered plain Lo Mein to which my family has eaten from other places without issue. My daughter has a peanut allergy and this has always been a safe option for her. But it was not the case here as my daughter was sent into anaphylactic shock for the first time in her life. When we returned to ask what was in the sauce the response was "a lot." They could not provide an ingredients list or an allergen list. Finally they admitted they out peanut butter in their sauce but do not disclose this information on their menu or anywhere. When we told the what happened to our daughter...the worker LAUGHED! They had zero concern and showed no empathy. While there is not set legal requirement for restaurants to list allergens it is typically common practice to do so for the safety of patrons. I will never return and I will be telling my story to anyone who will listen. Shame on you Wok on By. read more

I got the orange chicken and fried rice. The orange chicken was an inconsistent bite. One bite would be good the other bite would be trash The rice was absolutely perfect 10/10. Overall 7.8/10 read more

WOK ON BY IS THE BEST FAST CHINESE PLACE IN ALL OF TAMPA. I have gone to many different places and i always get the same thing (General Tso tofu), and Wok on By has always been the best. The common issue i found is that other places just make the sauce too sweet, but Wok on by has got the flavor down to a T !! And the tofu is sooo perfectly cooked and an amazing texture. I also got the vegetable lo mein and it's really delicious. Service is always fast, which i appreciate cuz i just want my food. read more

It was by far the worst Chinese food I have ever had in my life. There was absolutely no flavor in the eggrolls or the soup or the fried rice or the general TSO's chicken They were not friendly. I will never, ever go back there. By the way, I never do reviews, but this one I just had to say something to save people from being disappointed and disgusted With the quality of food there. read more

Always my spot when I want some good Chinese food. They are the best in the neighborhood.

Food tasted like cleaner. There was only 2 what appeared to be young teenage boys working. Guessing they don't have any proper supervision and just pump out food however it happens... up to and including still having soap in the dishes during cooking... Had to throw my food away and eat something else. Hoping I don't get sick from what I did eat... read more

Such a cheesy name right?? I kinda dig it though. I ordered take out from Wok on By and had it delivered. I ordered a vegetable fried rice, chicken and broccoli and spicy Hunan chicken. While everything had a great color, it lacked flavor. The vegetable fried rice had like no salt (I was completely shocked. Normally Chinese takeout is a bit too salt!), the Hunan chicken wasn't spicy and had more vegetables than anything else. There was also a piece of styrofoam in my food. All in all, the food isn't awful, but isn't the best I ever had either. I guess my quest continues for good Chinese food in the Carrollwood area... read more

Absolutely disgusting. I ordered the pork lo mien and it was really dark and tasted like black beans and the noodles were very over cooked. Barely any vegetables and over all just bad taste. read more

This experience had me fuming pretty quickly after finally convincing the boyfriend to eat Chinese food with me, typically a type of food he doesn't enjoy. It's worth noting that we're both allergic to mushrooms. I've worked in food service management for 10 years and have been trained heavily on allergen safety and expect restaurants to hold the same high standards when preparing items. We ordered via DoorDash, and I was hopeful as two of our items listed were considered "top dishes" on DoorDash. Upon ordering, we were curious as to what would actually arrive as it prompted us for spice level (for heat, which is something we've never had as an option for our dishes). He got the General Tso's, I ordered a Beef and Broccoli, and one egg roll. We were prompted for spice on every item but the egg roll. It listed a bunch of items I could add or exclude, so I ensured to put "no mushrooms" for all items as well as specifically notate for all items and the whole order that we were allergic to mushrooms. Our food arrived pretty quick and very hot, with four egg rolls and our dish which was a surprise. The egg rolls were bland and didn't offer much other than the fact that they were cooked well, were hot, and had a good shell. The insides need to be adjusted with something more, it left me wanting when I was done, a sign of a less than satisfying egg roll. He started on his General Tso's and instantly noticed huge chunks of mushrooms throughout the dish and we stopped eating as we didn't know if mushrooms were present in anything else. The fact that the establishment failed to take this basic request for dishes that typically don't come with mushrooms was disappointing and left me pretty upset at the blatant disregard for one's safety. Will never be back, we will in fact keep Woking on By the next time we see this establishment. Update: the food consumed caused intestinal issues and extreme nausea. Monitoring for similarity to food borne illness. read more

My ultimate favorite Chinese spot in Tampa and I've been to a lot ! The general Tao chicken was to die for ! Has a crunch w sauce not all soggy like some places !!! I highly recommend !!! read more

Should be called Walk On In, especially good for their lunch deals that come with a good vegetable fried rice.

I love this place! The portions are huge and family ran. The food is soooo delicious. I have been rolling around trying to find my perfect Chinese spot and this place is it! Go on and get ya some. read more

before my daughter ordered beef lomain, she asked if they used any peanut products in their food and they said No. After she had 2 bites of it, her throat started to close up and her lips were swelling up. They didn't even come out to see if she was ok!!! I do not understand why they would lie abt it. Someone could have severe allergy problem than my daughter and could die from it!!! You can't trust them w the food you ordering!! read more

This is my favorite fast food style Chinese food. Tastes great, good portions, and some dishes I've never seen before. Mongolian chicken, general tsao's tofu, and pork with broccoli are dishes I don't recall seeing on other menus and are really tasty. Fried rice, egg rolls, and the standard choices are sold, too. Re covid times, this seems to be a family business, which makes me think it's safer. They wear masks and enforce social distancing - takeout only right now. read more

Running a bunch of errands and saw this tiny Chinese place. I popped in because I wanted to see the condition of the place. I was happy to see that the open kitchen was clean. Clean floors, clean tables, no grease build-up or food debris under the prep tables. Fair enough, I placed an order for take out, which was ready in 15 minutes. The crab rangoons were quite good! You can actually see the crab in the creamy filling. The honey chicken was awesome! You can tell the chicken is hand breaded and fried. They're not those perfectly rounded and formed chicken puffy nuggets that so many Chinese places use. The chicken fried rice was delicious! Tender, soft rice with chicken and veggies! Yum. The one big disappointment was the bourbon chicken, it tastes like BBQ sauce. It's a thick, globby smoky flavor instead of the sticky, tangy bourbon glaze that is should have been (Minus 1 star for that). Oh well, lesson learned. Appears to be a small family run business, so I like that. Well definitely be back. read more

Our past experience with this place has been mediocre, but we were hungry and it was Christmas, so options were few. After this last time, it's completely off the list. The food was tasteless. The shrimp with lobster sauce had imitation crab meat in it that had the consistency of dough. Gross is putting it mildly. Never again. read more

Eat there every week. Phenomenal food and good service. I have not had anything bad there. There fried rice is awesome.

The place is clean the staff is friendly. There's nothing really special about their food. It tastes how you expect it. Everything comes out quick. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the egg drop soup it's too thick. The have a variety of combo plates and specials for lunch too. If you spend $15 you get a free egg roll and if you spend $25 you get free order of crab Rangoon. read more

David's Take: Beef w Veg.: Nice sized portions, fresh vegetables and tender beef at a fair price "Yummy" Chinese Bottled Green Tea with Honey: I just had to order it the taste was good the honey was light and the tea taste was spot on! Mom's Take: Beef w Veg.: Liked the taste and loved that the dish included Snow Peas (Mom Really loves her Snow Peas!) Mom ordered their Special "Homemade Summer Sweet Tea" (Not pictured): Mom said the homemade tea was a light refreshing tea & sweeten just right. read more

This place is awful. The food is nothing special and the service is awful. I asked her for plain tofu for my kids. I get my order and it's not there. Then the husband comes up and they tell me they can't do that. Ok well then why did she tell me she could! Beyond frustrated. I just waited for 20 minutes and now I have to go somewhere else to get my kids food! read more

Not as good as before. Noodles was salty, the chicken still had feather on it, rice was sticky. They seem to be falling apart. The walls, floor and the counter is very filthy. Their kids are always in the back the baby maybe 1 1/2 with no shoes on, black feet walking in the back kitchen near the hot stoves and climing the counter. The parents seem to be in bothered and in a rush. I won't order from here again. read more

If you think of this as anything but "comfort food" you will be disappointed. If inexpensive Chinese food for the American palate is what you are after, then this place will do as well as any other. This is just a tad bit out of the way from one closer to us. We go here because the kid taking orders and running the register always amuses us. We are guessing that they have been stiffed many times and don't start the order placed on the phone because it was never ready when we got there. Now one of us goes, orders, and we expect to wait. Plenty of shops to stroll, so no biggie for us. We generally order the standards like wonton soup, egg rolls, steamed and pan fried dumplings, broccoli with garlic sauce, chicken and broccoli, spare ribs (with varying degrees of good), different lo mein, General Tzao's chicken. Stuff like that. I have ordered the shrimp and lobster sauce but do not recommend it and would never order it again. As long as you know what you are getting, it if perfectly fine. read more
