Amazing Wok

Ordered a late night dinner for delivery. I ordered chicken lo mein, general gso chicken, & white rice. The lo mein was very good. The general gso’s was not so good, the flavor was not very good & it’s like they barely cut up the chicken they just left it in big chunks. I also ordered crab Rangoon, which I’m used to coming a dipping sauce. They didn’t give me any sauce so I called & told them, they said «you have to pay extra for that.» I was surprised since it normally automatically comes with it at other restaurants I’ve been to. The lady got rude after that & told me that I should eat somewhere else then.

In the Dormont area, Amazing Wok is the best for quick, affordable and tasty Chinese takeout/​delivery. This is not a dine-​in restaurant. The food has always been fresh and the service has always been exceptional. I’ve just about ordered everything off their menu and you can’t go wrong with anything. They don’t over salt and everything always tastes just right. I like ordering the combos because you also get a soup and egg roll, although the entrees aren’t as large as when you order the entrees alone. If you’re looking to dine in at home with good quality Chinese food (and you’re in the Dormont area) and you need it fast, give Amazing Wok a call.

I was pleasantly surprised with the food at Amazing Wok. I’m pretty picky when it comes to Chinese food, but I would say Amazing Wok is one of the better Chinese restaurants I have eaten at and that’s saying a lot. I’ve driven by Amazing Wok probably a hundred times and I was always a little leery to eat there because it looks pretty run down from the outside and in the window. But I’m so glad I finally tried their food.
Their prices are really good and the portions of food are huge. My meal lasted me 2 nights. The only downside is the menu is pretty small and there’s just a couple vegetarian entrée options.
I’ll definitely be ordering from Amazing Wok many more times in the future.

They have some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!!! The service was outstanding as well!!! Hands down was the best wonton soup I’ve ever eaten!!! If you live close by, stop and eat!!!

Used to love this place what happened? The general tso’s Used to be so good not so much anymore. Some of the chicken pieces in the meal were so large you need a knife to cut them in threes. So disappointed.

1^st time I ever tried this place and the only reason I gave it 1star was because the delivery guy was fast and courteous.
I ordered pepper steak which had a horrible taste and was hard to chew like beef jerky
I also ordered the General Tso shrimp which was below average taste and the sauce was very watered down
along with over cooked vegetables the rice looked and tasted like it was half steamed half fried rice
I ate very little and threw it in the garbage

Easily the best Chinese junk food I’ve ever had. Their chicken is amazing — and is actually made up of actual thick, white meat rather than cartilage which other Chinese restaurants are prone to. Sauces were nice and tangy, pieces were huge. Prices are standard Chinese food fare so it’s about what you’d expect elsewhere but far better than most I’ve had.
Had egg drop soup for an appetizer, was super happy with that too, with how thick and flavorful it was. Arrived super quickly as well.
Overall, I’m excited to order from Amazing Wok again.

Called to order for delivery. Told them my address to see if they deliver to my neighborhood (also in Pittsburgh, about 20 mins away) and the woman responded with «Are you kidding me?» Then hung up. Wtf. A little courtesy would be nice.

So I find myself in a very unique situation since I moved to Beechview. While I like the neighborhood, restaurants are scarce, and delivery options are limited even further. So after months of trial and error, I can tell you, without a doubt, Amazing Wok is the best game in town.
I’ve never stepped foot inside the establishment, but seriously, who eats takeout-​grade chinese food in the restaurant itself? No one, that’s who. So I’m basing this entire review off of the delivery.
First, the service. You’re greeted on the phone by an incredibly upbeat lady, who I assume works every waking moment of her life. She doesn’t seem like she has a great grasp on the language, but she’s super friendly.
Next, the menu. It’s everything chinese takeout should be. Cheap, decent, and forgiving on your insides. Actually the food is pretty good, I usually order the chicken and garlic sauce lunch special, which comes to a whopping six dollars. The chicken is cooked perfectly, the sauce is awesome, and you get rice and soup… awesome.
The best part is, is how long it takes to get to you. I call, place an order, and in about the time it takes me to drive to where the restaurant is at, they’re knocking on the door. Are they just guessing what people are going to order? It’s not just amazing… it’s scientifically fascinating.

The food was good for Chinese take out, but when ordering the tofu be aware that tofu soup is extra and vegetable egg roll is extra. Make sure you specify or you get a pork egg roll.

Great Chinese takeout when you get that craving. The fried rice and general tsos chicken are awesome!

Amazing consistent food on your door step in 15 minutes or less. They have been the short schedule dinner saver on many occasions. It’s not five-​star food but it’s pretty good

LOVE this place! Best quality Chinese in the area, and the workers are very friendly too! Their amazing chicken is the best. Like this place MUCH better than MeKong’s, which is around the corner. We are always very pleased when we order from Amazing Wok

The food has always been really good here, never creepy like Chinese food can get.
Delivery is fast and reliable and the employees are really nice.

Ordered Sesame chicken and it was way overcooked. Like it was sitting around and they recooked it. Half of the order was not edible and there was not very much meat on the pieces I did eat.

For Chinese take-​out this place is pretty good. I usually get the vegetable & tofu soup or beancurd home style. Both are satisfying and I eat there often.

Love this place. The woman who works here is such a sweetheart and accommodating. They have healthy options which are few and far between at most Chinese restaurants.
Can’t recommend them enough. Food tastes great!

Late night yum!
When I find a good spot that serves up yummy food that I can grab after working late then I’m all happy with only my pointer and pinky fingers extended… hand in the air!
I stopped at this joint on one of those type of nights figuring I’d give em a shot after driving by on so many occasions.
From the outside it looks a lot like other take out Chinese spots… like they put no thought into design on the outside and threw up a few cheap embellishments on the inside, but really it’s all about a delicious, piping hot good meal here.
We ordered the chicken lo mein, which was busting out of the square plastic container. First bite revealed warm noodles with just the right amount of bite… like a good pasta should, full of flavor with the usual zig zag cut carrots, snow peas, sprouts, mushroom, onions and the starring protein this time, chicken. We also ordered the Land and Sea entrée which is a spicy mix of vegetables, chicken and shrimp. My tastebuds sang a happy melody. Yes, I heard it!
The service was friendly and fast. Look, it wasn’t a Sesame Inn type of meal but it wasn’t supposed to be. It was just yummy. My only complaint was the sauce on my entrée was watery. I’m used to the thick, rich brown sauce on my entrees from Chinese restaurants but honestly… if that’s the only complaint, I’m gonna be back to visit and try more.

I am in love with this place! I have only gotten delivery, but every time they are timely and the food is piping hot!
Recently, my BF and I have been watching our diets a little closer, and Amazing Wok still allows us to indulge in Chinese takeout without being unhealthy. What do I mean? I mean they have a diet menu. There is a section of different combinations (My favorite is the shrimp with mixed veggies) and then you can choose to either have it steamed with sauce on the side or have it stir fried in a lighter sauce! HEAVEN! We have ordered from this part of the menu several times and have never been disappointed. You can also get brown rice, which is a big win in my book. I have splurged and enjoyed their steamed dumplings, egg rolls, and crab rangoon. All delicious.
Customer service has been excellent every time I have called, and they always read my order back to ensure that they have everything right.
Can not sing enough praised of Amazing Wok! If you’re in their delivery area definitely give them a try! :)

Amazing Wok seems to be catching up with technology if the receipt from our delivered Chinese meal last night was evident of anything.
I’m going to knock off a star for the flavorless beef fried rice I probably should have avoided, but the potstickers I wrote of before are still asskickers (I put in a double order for Kay and I), and the General Tso’s Chicken (we wanted to play it safe since we were simply starving) has that moist, honeyed, crackling quality that makes the dish such an easy crowd-​pleaser.
Ordering over the phone with a credit card was a cinch, and the delivery was speedy.
Amazing Wok is almost amazing.
