    Orange Chicken with steamed broccoli and rice!
    Darci M.

    Always sooo so good This is our go to and each time it's genuine delicious and generous portions made fresh to order

    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.

    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!!

    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
    Rielly N.

    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

    Noriko C.

    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.

    Mongolian Beef

    Everything is cooked fresh. Mongolian beef is my favorite plate and so delicious. Family owned restaurant and staff was helpful. Definitely recommend!!

The person who answered the phone was so kind and helpful. She advised they give a complimentary slice of their cheesecake for the birthday celebrant but didn't sell whole cakes. She informed me about the 85 Degree bakery and Stater Brothers next door. They will gladly store the cake. The menu was a little difficult to understand but once our waiter , sorry I forgot his name explained the combos vs AlaCarte and how much would feed a party of 5 We explained one person ate like a bird 2 of us were starving and 2 were medium hungry. He asked us what we wanted in terms of seafood. We all wanted crab one person didn't want shrimp etc etc. he advised us to start with 3 (bags) boil combos all with crab ,comboed with other seafood to make it a variation. Plus add an extra portion of crab. Well it was perfect. We did 3 different spice variations and shared The table is lined with plastic. A roll of paper towels. Plus the tools. Cracker and extractor. And gloves. Omg we had a blast eating the delicious food. Everything was fresh and just scrumptious. We had one bag with the garlic and old bay. Mild (I love heat but read mild had a kick. ). Which is did but was overall a mild kick. I was slurping the juice out of the clam shells it was so gosh darn good. Our waiter and the rest of the staff checked on us. Refilled our tea and water. We made a pretty good mess of things. Best part is we didn't have to clean up. Our waiter was so thoughtful, when it was time to have cake and open presents he invited us to use a clean table. He brought us plates and forks for the cake too. The restaurant space is kinda different. You walk into the restaurant and you're in a pretty large foyer You move through it to a gigantic dinning area with dozens of tables and booths. It has a huge high ceiling and appears more like a banquet size area. There were several other diners but because of the size of the restaurant it didn't feel crowded. We were trying to figure out what the space was used prior to Crab Pub. It has an Asian twist decor (marble deco columns) but decorated with fishing type props and decorations. It looks like service stations encircled the outer edge of the restaurant. Thinking it was a buffet place in the past. We loved the playlist music Thinking it was club like 80's 'maybe 70's original hits. Thankfully , No piped in cover instrumentals. So it was extra fun to get down and dirty eating and listening to great music. Bathrooms were clean All n all it was reasonably priced (we did Snow Crab as opposed to the King Crab that was pricier ). Recommend for families , and friend groups. Unsure if first date would be good as you have to get into the boil bag and it'll get messy. I hope to come back soon to try more combo seafood and different spice offerings

My mom loves oysters, and they did not disappoint fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth ordering. We also tried the gumbo, and it was incredible rich, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the seafood. The fried shrimp was a little overcooked, and the oil tasted slightly old, but it was still good and definitely not enough to take away from the overall experience. The portions are generous, the seafood is always satisfying, and the quality keeps me coming back. It's become one of my favorite spots whenever I'm craving seafood, and I highly recommend giving it a try!

Somehow these were so crisp and flaky, but not oily at all. The tartar was the perfect accompaniment, I just wish they gave more. Even the fries were so good, battered for crispness but not too thick, and the middle part was smooth like mashed potatoes, they were addicting. Ate way too many! My wife really enjoyed her grilled mahi plate too and was so happy they served rice, us Asians have to have our rice lol. The medium chowder was huge, even for 2. Curiously it was under seasoned, almost no salt at all. Maybe deliberate for older clientele? But a little salt and Tabasco fixed it right up. Tons of clams which is the important part, and great flavor once seasoned. This is another true 5 star spot and must visit any time fish and chip lovers are in the area.
