Quik Wok

I love going here for a couple of reasons. It is fast, convenient, and the food is pretty good. They have a drive thru and the portions are a good size. They only take cash, so be prepared.

Had Hot Brazed Shrimp here and vegetables. Asked for delivery. Quick delivery. So much batter on the shrimp — could not eat it. Portion of vegetables was very small. Prices on the website are misleading — the actual rates were double of the ones advertised. Shrimp and vegetables came to $ 20! Do not order from these people.

Quik wok is my favorite! They’re fast and I always get sweet and sour chicken– until last night. I worked eleven straights hours and was ready to come home to my Chinese. My boyfriend tells me our usual deliver guy said there is a new owner. I open my food to find its not what I usually order. Sweet and sour chicken comes with chicken (with the red sauce on it) pineapple and bell peppers with delicious rice and two crab Rangoon. My chicken had NO red sauce, no pineapple or peppers. I had to call again and order the sweet and sour sauce at 10pm and they said they forgot it. And the rice tastes like whole wheat rice. It was absolutely disgusting. We will be ordering from a new place.

Based on the review above I had hoped my quest for perfect Springfield style crispy cashew chicken had ended, no such luck. I won’t eat dark meat chicken, have personal reasons. White meat available on regular cashew but not crispy. This tells me they aren’t breading their own meat. Fried wonton was good and what I had was good, just not the holy grail of Springfield style cashew chicken.
I’ll keep searching.
Staff was very nice
Dining room was clean

I was really torn to do 3 or 4 stars. I originally put 3 strictly from the overall taste of the food but the value and delivery promptness pushed it to a 4 star. I am Staying at a hotel near the STL airport. I have to say it was amazing how fast they delivered. They knocked on the door 17 minutes after I called. That’s not even subtracting the time it took to order!
The food was very hot on arrival which always makes me feel better in regards to food safety. In fact the soup took 10 mins to cool down enough to try (not a bad thing at all). Prices were very good and again the fast delivery was impressive.
Overall the food was fair. Nothing great but I would order again of it was late and wanted something fast. Not anything I would crave though either.

Pretty good, but not the best. Their prices (and delivery – free, I think) make up for it.
CASH ONLY.
Great crab rangoon (but NO crab that I could see – only cream cheese), great egg rolls (albeit short on meat – still delicious). Seafood delight was eh. But again, they’re ridiculously cheap, so I’m cutting them some slack.
Delivery was quick and driver was cheerful. I will order again (and update my thoughts on other menu items)
Edit: ⁸⁄₁₄ shrimp lo mein? Not so hot. Gooey and light on sauce. Knocking off a star.

The food is extremely greasy and just average at best. Ordered from here once and my total was $ 18 then the next time I ordered I got the same thing and suddenly my order was $ 30. I won’t be going here again. The best thing at this place is the egg rolls.

The food is priced right. It is quick and accurate. I have not found them to be the. friendliest, but as long as I get my order effectively, I’m happy. Great lunch deals. I just wish they took debit cards. It’s a cash only place.

St. Paul sandwiches!!!
And a cheerful owner.

Great place with great food. I only go to the drive thru, cash only. My favorite is the General Tso’s Chicken.

No multiple-​dish, atmosphere-​based, etc. reviews here, because only one thing matters: If you’re looking for Springfield-​style cashew chicken in the St. Louis area, Quik Wok does it right. That’s good for five stars regardless of any other considerations.
Springfield-​style cashew chicken is breaded, deep-​fried chicken served with chopped green onions and cashews in «oyster sauce» — a sort of brown gravyish substance that doesn’t taste at all like oysters.
The folks at Quik Wok call it «Menu Item #17: Crispy Cashew Chicken Combo.» For about $ 5 (if you order a soft drink), you get a styrofoam to-​go tray with a heaping helping of the stuff, some fried rice, and an egg roll.
Yes, I’m sure it’s bad for you. I try to resist the craving, but every month or two … well, moving right along …
It’s called Springfield-​style cashew chicken because it was invented in Springfield, Missouri by David Leong. I used to live there — for a couple of years, I lived about about 100 yards behind Leong’s Tea House.
I’m a committed cashew chicken fan and have eaten it at probably 30 restaurants, 25 of them in Springfield itself, and Quik Wok’s version definitely holds its own in terms of taste, quality, and portion size to price. The chicken is tender (I don’t know or care if they use MSG), the onions and cashews taste fresh, the oyster sauce is thick but not cloying. Sinfully satisfying.
The fried rice is good to go, the egg rolls, crab rangoon and wontons at least passable. My significant other approves of their lo mein. The staff are friendly, the food preparation is reasonably fast, and they throw plenty of soy sauce, hot mustard, napkins and plastic utensils in the brown paper bag your food gets handed out the drive thru window in.
If I’m looking for other types of Chinese or Chinese-​y food other places will do, but so far Quik Wok serves the only truly excellent Springfield-​style cashew chicken I’ve found in the St. Louis area.
