China Wok

Having tried a few establishments of American-​Chinese in the Oak Ridge area I have decided that this is the winner.
If you looking for the classic white tins, sweet and sour chicken, lo mein type dishes then give these folks a visit. They were pleasent when you took a moment to say hello and provided food at a quality and price exactly what I expected.
Wish you the very best and encourage others to at least give them a try next time you want to snuggle up to square box and some sticks.

This is my favorite Chinese take out place in Oak Ridge, and a great take out place generally. I always get the sweet and sour chicken dinner special which is enough for two meals (for me) and comes with vegetable fried rice and an egg roll. The service is always fast, and it is right next door to Kroger, so it is a great stop for a quick order and quick grocery run.

We did have the buffet and the menu is more limited than the nearby Super China (no sushi, grill or ice cream) but lower price. If your couple of meat dishes and rice or noodles is what you want it might be worth saving a couple of bucks. The smaller buffet menu also helps keep customers emptying them so it won’t get too old as the seating is smaller also.

China Wok is a great place for a quick meal of Americanized Chinese food. I usually get the chicken lo mein and hot and sour soup. Chicken lo mein is excellent and hot and sour soup varies by visit. Consistently good food and a cheap price.

Why is China Wok the place where my family is most likely to go for Chinese take-​out? Well, probably the main reason is that it’s located right next door to Kroger’s — you can park, stop in at the China Wok, place your order, pick up groceries, and come back to get your food. (Impressively, a quart of hot soup at China Wok costs less than a 1−½ pint container of prepackaged «gourmet» soup in the deli at Kroger.) The other reason is because we’ve had good experience with them.
They claim to specialize in «Cantonese, Szechuan, and Hunan,» and they have a long menu listing a diverse variety of dishes. I’m not sure what foods they actually do best, but clues like the calendar hanging behind the counter lead me to guess is that the family that runs this place is from Hong Kong. (I haven’t asked — there are often other takeout customers waiting behind me in line, the staff doesn’t invite chit-​chat, and they don’t seem to know much English.)
Regardless of the family’s origin, I usually order hot and sour soup plus one of the dishes that they list on the menu as house specialties. The hot and sour soup is satisfyingly full of solids — chicken, tofu and various veggies. I find the entrees to be high on meat and low on veggies (my most recent order of orange chicken had about 1 piece of heavily cooked broccoli for every 10 chunks of chicken), but they taste good. One order (for less than $ 10) cam easily serve at least 3 people (unless perhaps you’re feeding teenage boys).
The China Wok has a small dining area and a small and inexpensive buffet (top price is $ 5.95). I’ve never looked to see what’s served there (other than the soup they ladle into one of my take-​out containers), but I have noticed that there are usually several customers seated at tables eating the buffet.
