    70. Mixed Vegetables with Chicken and wanton Wonton Soup
    Tyler T.

    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!!

    You wouldn't know from the exterior, but this place offers great food, lunch specials are awesome. Service is great. I love coming to this place.

    2. Cream Cheese Wonton
    Murissa M.

    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.

    Orange Tofu ($11.95)
    Stephanie T.

    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.

    Great food and a great portions. Amazing flavor food. Highly recommend.

    Orange Chicken Lunch Special

    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

    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!

    Singapore Mi Fun
    Tiffany A.

    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

    Sweet & Sour Chicken - Very we'll fried, tasted clean and fresh..
    Caleb T.

    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.

    Started eating before taking the yelp pic. Orange chicken combo and coconut shrimp.
    Kareen-Grace T.

    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.

    We were in the Vista area and had lunch at this Vietnamese restaurant. It met all the check boxes…read moreas far as the location where we needed to be and it had plenty of positive reviews. It's a good size dining room with many tables and a few booths. The service was very friendly. It looked like a small family owned business. We arrived early during lunch on a Sunday and was one of the only groups there. But it did fill up pretty quickly after that! We started off with appetizers and probably ordered a little too much. The seasoned cucumbers looked interesting so we got an order of those. It ended up being big chunks of cucumbers in a soy sauce marinade. It was just alright and not super tasty or anything. I have to admit, I have made more flavorful cucumbers at home. Perhaps it was the type of cucumber which was not my favorite. They used regular American cucumbers instead of English or Persian cucumbers, which I prefer. We also ordered the fish sauce fried chicken wings. They were decent but nothing to write home about. We also had a couple orders of eggrolls. Of the three appetizers, this one was the tastiest. The one thing I wish they provided with the egg rolls is lettuce and herbs to wrap the egg rolls with. Instead, there was a little side of pickled cabbage and carrots. For our main entrées, we ordered bun bo hue. It was pretty good and I finished most of it. It came with your basic items and not a lot of meat. There was no pork hock or anything like that. Tendon was probably the most different type of meat in there. We also had the combination fried rice, vermicelli noodles and grilled pork, and broken rice with grilled pork with a fried egg. Sure, I'd return if I was in the area again and craving Vietnamese food.

I understand these guys are a chain which makes the amazing eats that much more surprising. dumplings: have had the FRIED PORK BUNS, the SHRIMP and PORK SHUMAI, and the PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS. all were amazing. the SHUMAI were the best I've ever had (and I've had a lot) and ordered them on two of our three visits. dipped everything in Sichuan red chili oil, light soy, and black vinegar mixed at the table from the condiment set-up. the twenty-year boy (man, they grow up fast, don't they?) had the HALF BBQ DUCK was another outstanding dish. moist and flavorful, not the almost duck jerky served at most places. the Sichuan-style HOT BOILED FISH is one of my favorites and I nearly always get it when it shows up on a menu. theirs is a bright, spicy, and well executed. my favorite dish was the EGGPLANT in Sichuan sauce with ground pork. anyway, pretty sure I'm going to be a regular. it's nice not having to drive three-quarters of the way to San Diego when I'm feeling more like Chinese food than Chinese-ish American food.
