The food was decent. I would say you pay for what you get type of situation. I would come back if I don't feel like driving too far since this one is the closest to home. The staff, the lady, was not in a happy mood today. I felt rushed when I was deciding what items to get. read more

Wok Wok Express - Chinese Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Wok Wok has been doing this for 30 plus years. I went here weekly for lunch before I retired. I went back today for nostalgia. Prices have gone up, but the portions are still huge. You will get your moneys worth. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/s6sZ1ZrYekQ read more

First time coming here and I will say the staff was very friendly and the food was good. You get the bang for your buck 100%, I got the orange chicken with beef and broccoli with fried rice plus the cream cheese rangoons. Everything had really good flavor and not too salty. The overall vibe inside the restaurant wasn't bad at all enough seating for everyone and accessible for people in wheelchairs as well. read more

I was looking for something quick today on my way home. I saw a long line for this place so decided to give it a try! Plenty of free parking in the lot. The restaurant itself is pretty small with 8-10 tables. The servers were all quite rude and pushy. The food was decent! It's pretty good when you're looking for something quick. I tried the pepper chicken, orange chicken, fried rice, chicken wings, and chow mein. I probably wouldn't come back as there is better Chinese food around. read more

Food is decent but place gets zero for service. Employees are pretty rude rush you and they don't even want to give you a bag for your food. Another thing I was surprised with a surcharge for using a credit card that is not advertised anywhere. read more

The food is great! I really like this place it is not pricey and the portions are good.

The quality and taste of the food really isn't going to make or break this place when the service is as bad as it is. Staff were incredibly rude and the whole place seemed very disorganized. I was absolutely shocked at how rude they were. It honestly wouldn't matter if this was the best food in the world, there's no way I'll ever give them another dime. Every single person here needs a serious attitude adjustment. I'm fully aware this is a basic scoop Chinese food restaurant, that doesn't mean being incredibly rude and disrespectful is ok. Surprise! The food was terrible. Honestly, don't even bother wasting your time or money, go anywhere else. read more

Food is delicious! Service is always very warm and welcoming. Portion sizes are generous.

First time trying Chinese food out here in this city and I will be coming back! Very good service and fast which was very time convenient. The beef brocolli was so good and I came at the right time because they just finish cooking it! Orange chicken was flavorful especially with some Siracha on the side! Fried rice was perfectly cook and NOT soggy. Chow mein was mid, noodles are a bit thin and over cook so I recommend just getting double rice!!! THE VEGETABLE EGG ROLL ARE A MUST THO with the sweet and sour sauce on the side!!! Probably my favorite compare to my regular Chinese food spot. It was so crunchy and perfectly cook also. The vegetables inside wasn't soggy or overcook which u can just hear the crunch read more

Wok Wok Express - Beef broccoli with orange chicken. Fried rice and chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Price Value Quality Selection. The food here is tasty fresh and almost restaurant quality. One of my favorites here is Wor won ton shrimp soup with noodles. Around 11 bucks. Prices here are very reasonable pre pandemic even. My first sentace of this review say it all. I highly recommend you stop by and try this gem behind Denny's. They have appetizers at unheard of prices. Cream cheese won tons for 3.95. Eat at the buffet or order out. Good stuff read more

Prices are still high, however they did give big portions with a free spring roll which made me happy, food is delicious and customer service is friendly which is rare from a chinese fast food place. Would recommend. read more

This place is something else. I was there 8:15 and they had plenty of noodles. So I wanted noodles and steam rice and lady said No! Only one. When you are closing I mean are they going to recycle noodles tomorrow. I'm a very long time customer. That's just not nice. The owner seems like a bitch anyways, so maybe because that's just how she runs things too bad. I hope they see this review. read more

CASH ONLY! I was in the mood for Chinese chicken curry and although I have a few go-to's for this particular dish, I wanted to try out a new place. Found a place and jumped in the car and off I went! This wasn't the place I had in mind. Caught on a red light, I looked around and found it. So, eh, why not. It's exactly as it's described: EXPRESS. It is popular for one particular reason: $6.95 2-item combo plates. Although what they had to offer for that particular special, I came through for one reason only. Put in an order for the chicken curry. It didn't come with rice, so I went ahead and ordered a side of that as well as a couple of egg rolls. "To-go, please?" Packaging was good. The food was still hot when I got back 10 minutes later. Egg rolls were delicious and a bargain for a buck and change. The seasoning on the chicken curry was good, but felt could use a bit more curry. And not only were there too many fillers, they were sliced HUGE. (See attached picture.) This wasn't chicken curry: these were potatoes/onions/carrots curry with small cut chicken pieces. If I were to come back, I'll have to be around the area AND in the mood to try that bargain combo. Otherwise, future visits are doubtful. read more

I really like this Chinese food restaurant. It's lighter than Panda and more homemade. The food is always so good and I've started to try other items on the menu besides orange chicken. I would recommend this place read more

I have been going to this place for months now but never did I prepare myself for the disgusting experience I just had. I ordered a Won ton soup and had already had a few spoonfuls when I noticed a black thing floating, I first thought it was part of the veggies or something but noticed it was a fly. I looked at the top of the container which also had a fly on it, and starting looking for more which I found 3 more!!!! I don't want to think how many I actually ate but definitely be very wary of their soups, not sure if they keep them open and don't cover them but that was way to many flies. Do not go to this place for soups or anything for that matter. read more

This is my favorite Chinese food place to go to. So good and flavorful. I won't get Chinese from anywhere else but here.

Not what I expected, sadly would not recommend or come back. The noodles and dumplings were too salty.

This place is terrible so many complaints about this place. Chow mein and white rice was over cooked super mushy, orange chicken is not even fried i have not been to a place where they have chili oile for sale usually it is free on the table. read more

Have been coming for years now and I can say the taste has never changed! The food is so good and the serving size is big. I definitely recommend coming here read more

Wok Wok Express - a close up of a takeout container with rice and chicken - Chinese Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I been coming here since 1997. They serve enough for two in one combo unlike panda express. Orange chicken and pork are really good. Always ask if its fresh because sometimes they will serve you stale orange chicken and they dont take credit cards, other than that you're going to be hooked. read more

literally the best Chinese food place ever they are so polite. been coming here since i was a kid, and always created a welcoming atmosphere. read more

I have been going here since I was really young, so pretty much 20yrs. I have tried other fast food Chinese places and nicer restaurants, this is def my favorite as far as food goes. CHEAP & DELICIOUS! Need I say more? I get the same thing pretty much all the time: sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, chow mein (SO good), and fried rice. Wontons are good too. read more

I have been coming here for a very long time and today will sadly be the last time i support this business. The customer service has gone from bad to worse over the years. My experience with them today was just baffling to me and honestly I am very disappointed because I have been coming here for years. So my kid is allergic to peppers and most of the meat options they serve have peppers. I asked for a plate with just chowmein but kindly asked if they could put the entree on the side because my child is allergic and I didn't want to chance it. I also said that I would pay for the extra plate/container if needed. They then told me that they don't do that and that I would have to pay for the two items separately and she showed me two different size containers which I could choose from. I then explained to them that I was not asking for more food I simply just needed it plated on the side due to my child's allergies. One of the employees turned to the other employee at the register and said something in another language then the employee on the register rudely said we don't do that here you don't like you don't buy. So I grabbed my child and I sure did not purchase anything nor will I ever come back here again. I completely understand charging me for the extra container however charging me full price for two sides because I asked for it to be on the side is ridiculous to me. But you don't have to tell me twice, I will gladly take my business elsewhere. read more

Decent Chinese and cheap. Don't go on the hottest day of the year as their A/C might have trouble keeping up. Black pepper chicken and kung pao are the way to go. Wish they had free refills...didn't know anyone still charged for refills. read more

This is a really good and tasty Chinese fast food. Their prices are quite competitive, at $4.xx for a two item combo. One thing that I would change at this joint is their ventilation system, or lack thereof. I hate it when I come out of there after a tasty lunch smelling like I was sitting in a Chinese wok. You know the smell, the oil and smoke smell that lingers on your clothes. If they would only turn on their A/C or some kind of system, and it will make my dining experience much much better! read more

Wok Wok Express - Teriyaki chicken & orange chicken :) - Chinese Near Me - Hawthorne, California

soo yummy! wish they doordashed! i would def order for delivery if they did. love the orange chicken and chow mein.

Wonderful food with very little to no salt or added MSG. Not overly greasy or overly seasoned/sauces. Not overcooked or dried out. The Mango Blended drink and the Thai Tea were AMAZING! Perfect flavor on both, with very little added sugar. I enjoyed this place far more than Panda Express. Additionally the staff was friendly, helpful and very accommodating. I will DEFINITELY be coming back. read more

This place was great but it has been declining over the years. Today I ordered fried wonton to find out they didn't put meat in them no more. They should alert thier costumers. Of this all I got was fried tortilla chips. Unbelievable SMDH.... read more

Wack Wack Express or Wacala Wacala Express. Yeah, it sucks! I ordered the small won ton soup and my daughter got noodles and chicken, in a bowl. $7+ My won ton soup was so gross! It tasted like dirty hot water. As if they added the water after they cooked the soup. The soup tasted fishy; only it didn't have any seafood. It was the worst I've ever had. I added lots of hot sauce and soy sauce to give it some flavor. It didn't help. I tried the noodles; they tasted old, hard, greasy and flavorless. Then I went for the fortune cookie... say what? Stupid fortune, "A bee with honey in it's mouth has a stinger full of poison" o_O The cookie tastes like Playdoh... seriously! Is it even edible? Never again.. It made my GAG list. read more

Look I cant see why anyone would not give this place a 4 or five stars. This is not Pf changs for god sake, it's a fast food Chinese restaurant like Panda express, same style. You go their and pick your two or three items with fried rice and chowmein. Have eaten at a ton of fast food Chinese restaurant I rate this one the best in the Southbay area. WHY??? 1. The price is good $5.50 or so and your out of there with a two items and rice and chow mein. 2. The food is always fresh, high turn over rate so everything is always pretty fresh. 3. the food actually tastes good and clean for a fast food joint. 4. The people are always friendly, i used to go there all the time until i got into a workout regiment. 5. plenty of parking. What I recommend: the orange chicken is excellent one of the best i ever had, the BBQ is good too as well as Broccoli beef. This place is for a fast take out, no hasle, really cheap and your out of there. Like I said for fast food the quality is good. What could you expect for $5 and change. But trust me its tasty otherwise i would not give it 5 stars ***one warning get it to go, like everyone said you eat in there and youll smell like the food*** read more

Stingy Servings ! They will nickel and dime you !! Tight wads! Food okay tho not bad I had way better !
