I have thoroughly enjoyed the food from this place!!! "Curry Fried Rice" is a must try item!!!! Lunch specials are a great price here compared to other places, not only is the food delish, it's all so very fresh tasting!! I also love tht u can see how fresh everything is made as the kitchen is open for all to see, the owner runs a tight ship, food is made fresh and quickly right before ur eyes!! Definitely a favorite place for me and my friends! Restaurant is small and unassuming, more like a "to go" sorta kinda restaurant...if ur on a budget, this is a great place to order "to go", food will not disappoint!! read more

Consistently THE BEST in Chinese food and crab boil!!! My daughter said it's her new favorite place! It's family owned and ran, you will feel so welcomed and at home here. If you are in a rush or not social, no worries, she makes food homemade AND fast for you and won't bother you. No worries. If you are social, say hello, she will become a beloved neighbor and you will feel welcomed and cared for. The food is top notch! Quality. She will let you know if it's freshness and is very transparent. One time she ran out of fresh corn and let me know before I ordered. And offered me other ideas. I'm completely fine with frozen corn, I like corn with my crab boil, but how nice and honest of her to tell me! It was all so delicious and my daughter gets the potstickers and they are pan fried, such a perfect crunch to them! And beef chow mein. My daughter and I share it and still have leftovers. Sesame balls are my favorite and makes them perfectly. She has plenty of drink choices too. Go now and enjoy. Except Mondays. She deep cleans the entire restaurant. She needs a rest day and deserves it. I hope she gets one. read more

Really amazing hole in the wall Chinese restaurant! Food comes out fast and piping hot! The woman who owns it runs the register and takes great pride in her food. This is a one of a kind dining experience where the attention to detail really shines. If you are adventurous, ask to try her home made pickled vegetables on the side. The chose the right name, because everything truly is A-One!! read more

A-One Wok - 70. Mixed Vegetables with Chicken and wanton Wonton Soup - Chinese Near Me - Vista, California

If you are looking for fresh, authentic Chinese food, here's the place! This is our third visit and we have had incredible food and service during our visits. The restaurant/dining area is relatively small, but you are able to dine in. They do a lot of take out here. All of the food is made fresh to order and full of flavor. The portions are generous. The proteins are often plated with steamed broccoli, which is a nice addition wth the white/steamed rice. There's always leftovers which is a plus. Also, the containers are durable and microwaveable, convenient to enjoy the leftovers at work/home. The cream cheese wontons and pot stickers are great to add to any order. We really enjoy the orange chicken and orange beef. The Mongolian beef is also a favorite. We order string beans and vegetables with our orders. The venegatbles balance the proteins. Another favorite item, the sesame balls, a must! They are perfect as a palate cleanser/dessert. The restaurant is family owned and the recipes are their own. There are plenty of dishes/choices on the menu; both traditional and non-traditional. read more

Good about a 7.5 good for takeout. Quality dishes. Most of people who run it are friendly. Cream cheese wontons are good. A lot better than the place with the black and white bear. Same type food only better. read more

Great prices for great food that is cooked to order. Can't ask for more from a quick and easy Chinese food place. Several vegetarian options. The service was very fast and friendly. The indoor seating is meant for quickly eating and leaving and this feels like mostly a takeout place, but I appreciated the option to eat there if you're starving and want food now, haha. We ordered: - Orange Tofu ($11.95) - Vegetable Fried Rice ($8.95) - Szechwan String Bean ($11.95) I'd highly recommend the Orange Tofu--a great vegetarian option and the orange sauce was really nice. The tofu was nice and crispy, which I really appreciate. I was also able to customize the spice level of the orange sauce to a 2 or 3 (mild) out of 10, which was perfect for me--just enough to give some flavor, but not too spicy for me to handle. The Szechwan String Beans were great. A good amount of garlic. Perhaps a bit oily, but still very good. The Vegetable Fried Rice was unremarkable flavor wise, but a solid staple. The veggies, particularly the broccoli, tasted nice and fresh and crisp and good quality. read more

Located in a stripmall, it's a small place but the Food is made to order and only took them 5 minutes to bring it to me at one of there handful of tables. The food was very hot and actually had to wait for it to cool down a bit which was nice. The fried rice was very fresh and orange chicken was white meat and large juicy pieces with lots of flavor. It also came with an eggroll that was pretty good too. Overall. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone wanting good quality Chinese food read more

Great mom & pop shop! When I was alone for Thanksgiving, they were open and provided me with delicious food and a smile. A smile is needed when times are rough. Their food is always hot, the customer service is great and the store smells delightful. read more

We tried this restaurant based on so many positive reviews. We're happy that we did. The lunch combination choices (among many others) were broad and appealing. Our meals were very good and there was enough food left over to bring some home for tomorrow. The staff was very accommodating and the prices are reasonable. Give them a chance to impress you, too! read more

This place is really a gem. Found this place going to get cookies a couple stores down. We decided to eat there. We got Chow mein mixed meat, orange beef, chicken wings (s&p) and fried rice with chicken, beef and shrimp. Ordering was fast and quick. Down fall was that they can't give you water cups...you had to buy their water bottles. Not much going in the ambiance but there are some cool wall decorations. Maybe music would be nice. Did hear the sound of DoorDash orders coming through, so that's good. Customers were coming in to order and you can tell they are regulars. Wish I could be but we live a little too far to be coming here all the time. Anyways...did was delicious! There seriously nothing to complain about. Well except for the wings...it didn't have the flavor of salt n pepper wings I am used to from the South Bay or Mira Mesa area. But my husband and my daughter both liked it but of course said nothing compared to what we get elsewhere. So we won't be getting that next time. Which is fine because there's a whole lot of other choices for us to still try. It was interesting to see seafood boil options. Not really a place I would be ordering that. We usually get that at a solely "seafood boil" restaurant. Not a whole lot of seating if you are dining in but eating cooked right off the wok made the food that much more amazing! read more

Ordered takeout on a Sunday around noon. If you order in person or over the phone, prices are slightly cheaper than online. Service was very friendly and quick. We ordered mushu, cashew chicken, and sesame balls. With tip, our total was around $40 and there was enough food for 2 with plenty of leftovers for 2 lunches the next day. Food was tasty and we plan to return! read more

Singaporean noodles -- spice level was mild and super spicy! So be aware if you order mild. 14.95 for the meal through delivery wasn't bad but they forgot to include the utensils and napkins (I was staying in a hotel studying for an interview and didn't want to leave for anything as it was a very late delivery) Overall the portion was alottt and the protein to noodle ratio was great read more

A-One Wok - Singapore Mi Fun - Chinese Near Me - Vista, California

I have a weird thing about certain cuisines containing ingredients that have a crunch to them. While I love the flavor of raw onions on my hamburger and hotdogs, I can't stand them on a pizza. I enjoy the crunch of green and red bell peppers in a sausage sandwich, but when they're in a panang curry, I tend to push them aside for mushrooms and chicken. So, when I go to a Chinese restaurant, I tend to stick to the Hot Burned Porks, the Plum Tree Beefs, or (at the very least) something where the onions and peppers are cooked down to being caramelized. So, when I ordered the Peking Beef off the menu here at A-One Wok, I was a bit trepidatious when my dish arrived with a full onion, nice and crunchy, mixed into the sauce. And yet, it was so good, I couldn't help but eat everything served to me. Wonderful flavors, the meat nice and tender, the vegetables were perfect and delicious. And it wasn't just the beef I enjoyed. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was perfectly fried, clean and light without having that taste of everything else that had been fried before it. The Broccoli Chicken was a great addition to our table and something you don't see on too many Chinese menus. The Orange Chicken, while too spicy for my son and daughter, was still well fried and coated with a great sauce. And the Egg Rolls, while not the best I've had, were still pretty good. There are a ton of restaurants out there where you can grab some good and cheap Fried Rice or Black Pepper Chicken. Here at A-One Wok, it may be a few bucks more, but you can taste the difference in freshness as they whip up your order right after you pay. I can't say it's worth the drive to come out as far as it is in Vista from where I live, but if I'm in the area with some time to spare, the food and service are definitely worth a try. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the flavors and quality of food at this restaurant. The coconut shrimp was my favorite dish of the 3 dishes we ordered. Shrimps were a good size and the coconut flavor was just right. The other two dishes were beef chow mein and orange chicken lunch combo with a spring roll. The noodles in the chow mein were cooked well and had a nice chew. Next time I'll just order it without any meat. The beef was OK, just better without. The orange flavor in the chicken was perfect. The citrus zest came through well. It was real and refreshing. Broccoli in both dishes didn't hurt. I like that they added the vegetable. read more

Let me start by saying that I'm glad I found this spot when I did so I live in Orange County and was sent out this way for a job never been out here before at least this part of town, but I saw Susan I guess getting the place ready to open She was sweeping and cleaning and I went up to her and asked her if they were open it must've been 10:20 AM. They don't open till 11 but she was so nice that she said she can open now and start cooking. Whatever I wanted so she asked me if I was really hungry and I mean I'm always really hungry but anyway she told me to get the Mongolian beef and I did let me tell you she made it fresh and it was so good while waiting she even made me some fried wontons. They were also amazing as well, but on top of the food tasting so good her hospitality was even better. We had plenty of conversations about our family and how we grew up and where we came from and all that she was so nice so Susan thank you so much. I appreciate you and I see all the hard work you've done is really paying off especially with this food. Thank you again and I hope to be back again soon. I'm so full. I think it's time for a nap. Hahahha read more

I can't wait to come back and try the seafood boil next time! read more

This is the second time that I have used their DoorDash to place a delivery order and gotten something different from what I asked for. The online menu did not show the lunch option for orange chicken, which is what I wanted. I even called the restaurant to let them know that I had just placed an order and only wanted the LUNCH SPECIAL!!! When I receive a delivery I had a feeling by the weight that it was not correct. It was not until I opened the package that I discovered they had sent me the full order and not the lunch special I requested. I only expected to pay about $20 for my order and ended up being charged closer to 40 because of the incorrect order!! I will not order a delivery again until the menu options are updated so that my choice is accurate when it is delivered! Normally, I go to the restaurant and pick up my order. I was not able to drive yesterday and was relying on the delivery to be correct. read more

The service of both the server and the cook was amazing. Very attentive and offered additional food/drinks, very kind and caring staff.
