China Wok

It was pretty good for fast food Chinese, did take a long time for the order to be delievered though.

The food is ok for Madison Chinese food (I say this because I do not think Madison has very good Chinese food overall). It is cheap, we got three entrées and an order of crab rangoons for under $ 25.

Consistent. They do the standards very well and are always friendly and efficient.

I’m on a quest to find a phoenix and dragon similar to my favorite Chinese place in Indy. This is the closet I’ve come, much to my disappointment. This restaurant keeps getting into my apartment building, despite the security doors. Today they just stuck them in the elevator. Which I thought was pretty neat compared to their normal door spamiming. Then I went down to the first floor and realized they also just scattered them all over the floor.
In my phoenix and dragon I had five «jumbo» shrimps. Which are really just average sized shrimp. The only thing I can think of is that they consider the mini shrimp some Chinese places have as normal. I guess compared to those the shrimp is jumbo. The «spicy chicken» is just general tso’s. I got medium spice which was barely spicy at all. Most of my dish ended up being peas, carrots, and onions in a weird «spicy» sauce that wasn’t very good.
I also got the rangoons. Some one else mentioned in this that they don’t really have much crab. Which is an understatement. There’s maybe a flick of crab in each. They’re still fairly good, just not crab.
I suppose the worst part was delivery time. The confirmation email doesn’t come with a estimated delivery. Whatever, my boyfriend and I expect 40 minutes like normal. 40 minute mark rolls around and we haven’t gotten a call. Since our buzzer system isn’t set up we were worried that they didn’t see the note to call and were buzzing us. The person who answers says it’s in the car and close. 20 minutes later we’re still waiting. My boyfriend calls back and goes to give his info. The lady says, «Oh, you just called. It’s almost there,» and that was it. Uhm. Ok. A little less than 10 minutes later and it arrives. The driver apologized and It was still hot. So there’s that.
tl;dr small portions, not jumbo shrimp, not spicy, not very good, long wait, unfriendly staff on the phones, friendly drivers, and they litter my apartment building a lot.

WORST HOT AND SOUR SOUP EVER.
I complained and they said they would make me more soup.
Just like yesterday, they made a big batch, heated some for me and put in vegetables and meats.
They raised the price to $ 4.00, the quality decreased to horrible. I won’t go back there.
When I told them I wanted a fresh batch, they said we just made this.ars.
I will not go back to this hole in the wall dump.
See my other one-​star review about this dive.

I live 5 minutes away, food took 1.5 hours to get here. Generals chicken was sub par at best. Everything else wasn’t. No thank you

Good Chinese at an affordable price. They have the best lunch combos and the food is usually ready for pickup in 10 minutes. My food is always hot and have yet had any complaints with consistency. Not the best Chinese out there but for the price it’s pretty solid!

China Wok is my go-​to delivery place for basic Chinese.
When I just want some moderately priced food that will get here fast, fill my belly with warm and comforting Asiatic foodstuffs, this is who I turn to. I can’t speak for its authenticity or service, but I can speak for how often I find myself hungry, cold, and ordering from China Wok’s online delivery system.
I don’t generally care for Sweet & Sour anything. That’s not real food! Have you seen that toxic-​waste colored, gelatinous red sauce? That can’t be good for you. But on a friend’s recommendation, I tried it from China Wok. It’s delicious. Somehow the battered and fried chicken had not become soggy during delivery, and I found it was insanely addictive over pork fried rice. (I like their fried rice– not too greasy. But it seems to turn bitter when you re-​heat it the next day.)
Decent dumplings, and my BF seems to enjoy the spare ribs, since those are the only two things he ever orders from there. The sauce that comes with those dumplings is pretty awesome I must say. I also enjoy the crab rangoons, though they are the very creamy kind with almost no actual crab meat. Ask me if I care. Because I don’t.
Really, I’ve probably had 75% of the menu by now, and nothing really sticks out as «not good.» Though once we tried the Teriyaki Chicken and found it to be pretty dry. Who knows if that is how it usually is, since we only tried it once. What business did we have ordering Japanese food from a Chinese place anyway?
They are reliable, fairly priced, good size portions, hot when it arrives, completely non-​threatening Chinese. If I wanted authentic Chinese cuisine, I’d be going somewhere for dine-​in, not carry out. China Wok delivers, and makes my insides happy.

Thanks for the Chinese Delivery suggestion, Unilocal!I ordered online using the Beyond Menu app, which was simple enough.
Delicious food. I ordered the Moo Goo Gai Pan (see pic) and Egg Drop Soup. Delivery arrived on-​time. Will order delivery from here again!

I need to give these guys another star solely based on the fact that I’ve been there 3 times this month. And while I hold my ground that it isn’t he best in town, the staff is incredible… so sweet! And if you miss their crazy 5-​$ 7 lunch specials 11 – 3, that’s ok, because dinner specials start at $ 8 or so. Again, I’ve had better in town, but for fast, like lightening fast take-​out, it’s fit the bill on some colder nights when I didn’t feel like leaving the couch to cook.

There food is good for what it is and the owners are great! A few months back they let me in after hours to order.

You know how you see a picture of food at a restaurant, you order it, only to have what is put on your plate barely resemble what you saw in the picture? Well, you don’t have to worry about this at China Wok. What you get as your meal looks even better than the pictures above their counter.
I’ve dined at this carry out Chinese location numerous times over the past 2 years. My office is only a mile or so away and it makes for a quick meal. I must say, I feel like something has changed in the past year. When I used to go, I felt like no matter what I ordered, it all looked/​tasted the same. (ie sauce, color, vegetables, etc) But for the past year or so, my coworker and I marvel at how great the food looks when it comes from the kitchen. We primarily dine in. We’re practically giving each other high-​fives, because we feel like we just scored big.
And the flavor is just as good as it looks. I just ate at another carryout Chinese location and the quality of food reminded me how great China Wok is, so I jumped out to right this review.
I regularly get Kung Pao Chicken or Mongolian Beef. My coworker exclusively gets General Tso’s Chicken (this thing always looks amazing!)
Value is always great… we can get both of our lunches, i usually add an egg roll (75 cents) and he usually gets a soda and it costs us around $ 12 for both of us. Quantity of food is also great.
As you can tell, I highly recommend this place. Given it’s a carryout Chinese place, I really should give it 5 stars for overcoming such an obstacle!

Tasty. Not too greasy, not too salty. Quick delivery.
Fresh ingredients.
Fast delivery… use the computer based ordering system… very efficient.
Overall very good food and experience.

So far the best Chinese delivery we’ve had here in Madison. Their food is flavorful, fresh, and not super-​greasy.
They also have an online menu to order from, which is amazing! It makes life simple, and I don’t have to worry that I mispronounce something or said the wrong thing entirely.
The only complaint I had is that while our food was steamy hot, the crab rangoons weren’t. They were actually a little on the cool side. But, it’s delivery, so that’s not all that surprising.

My go to delivery Chinese spot. from that category you gotta know what to expect but the Wok definitely steps it up over any other delivery place that I know of in the area.

This is our «go-​to» Chinese restaurant on the North and East side of Madison. It’s not going to knock your socks off or anything but it’s by far the best in the area in this price range. The food is not super greasy or full of crazy amounts of that fake testing Chinese food seasoning some of the restaurants put in (I don’t know what it is… but there are some of you right now who know what I’m talking about!).
They are not overly helpful on the phone but in the many times we’ve ordered (over 6 years), they’ve never messed up on an order, are always within 30 minutes of a delivery time, and deliver HOT.
We recommend the orange chicken, the vegetable lo mein, and any form of tofu – especially the tofu cashew (as a nice vegetarian option). I see that some people say there aren’t veggie options but as a family that is primarily vegetarian, they’ve substituted tofu in every dish without complaint. And will make just about any dish you ask. They may not appear to be excited about doing it but then again, I don’t think they get excited about anything… They just do what they do – Make good, fast, hot Chinese food. Really, what more do you want?

The great thing about China Wok is it is exactly what you’d expect. It’s your decent, standard Americanized Chinese fare. I’ve never had a bad experience; it’s always the same. This place is close by me, so delivery is always super fast. Although the food is generally nothing special, the fried dumplings hold an especially, soft, doughy spot in my heart.

No vegetarian options, and staff always too busy and not personable.

I ordered delivery from this place. It took them about 40 min to deliver, which I think is a standard. Well, the food was alright — didn’t wow me and my friend, but we didn’t complain about it either.
I liked the fact that they serve not overly greasy chinese. We ordered pork chop suey, mixed vegetable, and beef with snow peas. All of them tasted good without making my guts feel nauseous.
One thing my friend and I didn’t know — so in Midwest (or in Madison only?) «chow mein» is not a noodle dish …. So make sure to order «Lo mein» if you want that noodle dish. Chow mein is chop suey. I swear it’s not like that in California!

It was all right. The vegetable egg roll was great. The fried rice was ok. I had chicken lo mein and the noodles & vegetables were good, but the meat was yuck. I’m not sure what it is… I think I should only order items that do NOT have meat in them when I go to restaurants, because I commonly end up unsatisfied with the meat and it ruins the whole meal. The checken was bland, tasteless, kind of gummy and some pieces were extremely gristly.
The fortune cookies were the good kind :) and they gave my boyfriend real pancakes w/​his order (moo shu pork I think?) He seemed to like his quite a bit.
PS it was delivery, not eat-​in, and the delivery time wasn’t horrible, but not super great.
