5 star Chinese food takeout! I have never dined in, but have gotten delicious takeout from Best Wok several times over the last few months. The meat is high quality (always white meat chicken), the veggies are fresh and not overcooked & you can ask for no MSG in your dishes. Takeout is ready on time - they are usually bagging it up as soon as you walk in the door. It's usually busy, so I know there's a large following. Oh and if you're trying to go to New Zealand but don't want to wait an hour, hop in to Best Wok instead! read more

I have been eating at this place for years and they haven't made an error on my to go order yet. I usually order their dumplings, chicken wing appetizer and their Triple Delight combination. My sons are a big fan of the Sesame Chicken combination too. Not fancy Chinese food just consistently good. read more

The food was great! BUT, the menu prices are not correct online. Today myself, and 4 co-workers ordered lunch from here, as another co-worker had Best Wok yesterday and it smelled heavenly. So we each fill out our choices, add up the prices,tax, etc for each and off our driver goes..she comes back, ALL the orders are higher. On average, the orders were $3.00 higher. As it does say, prices may not be correct, but dang read more

Best Wok is my favorite Chinese place in Charlotte. A bold claim, as I've been to at least a dozen American Chinese restaurants just in east and south Charlotte alone, but I always come back to this one. Everything tastes just as it should, high quality ingredients, large portions, and its never bland. The moo shu pork is fantastic and their sesame chicken is always crispy without having globs of excess batter. And their lunch combos are enough for two meals. I really can't praise them enough and as Amanda said, if you're not in the mood to wait for a table at New Zealand next door, Best Wok is worth it. read more

Consistently great food! For over 15 years my family has enjoyed the food they prepare at Best Wok. They have been around since the 90's with good reason - consistently GREAT! I am now retired and living single again. When I want to enjoy great food with healthy, fresh vegetables Best Wok has it. Always Good! I plan to enjoy them until I move from the area, but will not forget where to find great, fresh food prepared by the "real deal" chefs and cooks. read more

Hooooray! We finally found an awesome Chinese spot in Charlotte. Sure, tin tin is great but it is a buffet and I am not always up for that. My wife brought me here on a Saturday afternoon, it was not too crowded. You order at the counter and then either wait for your to go or sit and they will bring your your food. I got sesame chicken, the chicken was crispy in a slightly sweet and wonderfully savory sauce. I ordered mine with fried rice and an egg roll. I am a huge egg roll fan in general and these were top of the mountain. They are pork egg rolls, obviously homemade and fried to perfection! I cannot wait to go back for the egg rolls. We also had a small chicken wing, which is only $3! And wonton soup!! The soup was perfectly thick and tasty. Two sesame chickens with fried rice and egg rolls, side of wings, egg drop soup and the bill was only about $21! This is the best Chinese takeout/eat In I have been to in Charlotte. Get to this place! read more

Best Wok - Yummmm sesame chicken with the best egg roll in charlotte - Chinese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Very good food! The sesame chicken is perfect. I've also tried the beef and broccoli. Their fried rice and noodles are perfect. It seems like they actually care about the food that they make. Their cook time is very fast compared to other places. Portions are smaller than other Chinese fast good restaurants but the quality is much better. Very clean environment. Very nice workers. In a very convenient location. I wish they would deliver! read more

Awesome!!! Best crab ragoons I've ever had... moved here from San Francisco Bay Area and this is the only place we have found that can hold its own. The ma po tofu, and the pepper beef were fiiiiire! read more

We had heard from multiple people this was the *best* "takeout Chinese" in the area, so we went with high hopes. I guess from a comparison standpoint (of what alternatives are "in the area") it may be better. But as far as overall takeout Chinese, this was completely average. My orange chicken was heavily battered to the point I could actually taste the cornstarch through the spicy sauce, and my husband's sesame chicken was the same situation. The crab rangoons were good, but pricey. This place didn't really live up to the hype in our experience, and I'd much rather try some other place in town then settle for this. read more

My sha cha beef is onnnnn!! Moist chicken, juicy broccoli, and perfect white rice! The crab ragoon is also very flavorful. read more

I've been eating at Best Wok since moving to Charlotte in 1989. It is the freshest and best Chinese food I've ever found. Generous portions and wonderful sauces. I typically do Chicken Fried Rice, Moo Shoo, Cashew Chicken and one of my faves is Snow Peas Chicken in brown sauce (you have to ask for the brown soy sauce, otherwise white). My girlfriend says it's the best Orange Chicken anywhere. Tina and the staff are amazing, whether dine-in or carry-out! --- Bob read more

Not much to say that hasn't already been said. Good, solid American Chinese food. Best in the area and best egg rolls I've ever had. I do wish they had Singapore noodles, but whatever. read more

We ordered take out last evening from Best Wok. We had orange chicken, hunan chicken, and sesame beef. All off the selections were very good. My selection was the sesame beef which was good, but I did not expect the beef to be breaded. The menu didn't disclose that fact, but I did order that selection. Next time, I will order another one of the spicy beef selections. I am not opposed to returning again in the future, when I am back in town. read more

i ordered the sweet and sour chicken lunch special to go. i just moved to the area so i was looking for a good chinese food spot to try. this one has the most reviews and it's only about two miles from me so i thought i would give it a try. my sweet and sour sauce was very gelatinous, it poured off my spoon in chunks which was not very appetizing. i tried it anyways and it had a weird flavor to it. it tasted as if it was old or made with dirty water. i was not a fan. i added soy sauce to it to see if they would help and it wasn't enough to mask that off flavor. the chick was not crispy and over fried and the fried rice was just okay. i also could have lived without the egg roll. the only positive i have about this meal is the price. it is a good amount of food for $7 if you get the lunch special read more

The best egg rolls ever! Best Wok has some really good dishes like their sesame chicken, & the wings are delicious, the fried rice is good too but the egg rolls are the reason to try!! Hands down the best egg rolls in the city! They also have a nice, high sanitation score & they're so sweet to customers. I didn't even know they were in that shopping center tucked away but I am so glad we found them! We've made it our new go to Chinese spot! read more

Rude people! That's the review. Go to Matthews Festival location for good food AND service. Do not go to this location! If they get your order wrong they argue. The food isn't good either. Again go to Matthews Township location. read more

Two and 1/2 stars Chinese comfort food, grandma would approve. Yu Shiang Scallops are not bad, pan fried dumplings are dark brown on only one side, the other two sides are mushy, Moo Shu Pork was pretty good but it only included 3 pancakes and it had none of the greens and veggies I expect with it, the fried rice is ok but far from the best (even for take out) Hunan Pork is ok but bland, nothing is spicy in spite of what the menu claims and everything shares a sameness. to it's taste. Through the window I can see 4 guys working the woks ( Chef Tien works alone) yet the kitchen is not too swift. I haven't tried any of the specials since I don't like to pay restaurant prices for take-out but the regular menu is reasonably priced. read more

Best Wok is hands down the best "American" Chinese food that I've had. The ingredients are fresh and the food is prepared with care. Whenever I go I ask for extra spicy and no msg and they happily prepare it for me. This restaurant is consistently delicious and they serve fresh and fast food. For first timers I suggest the sesame chicken, it's definitely a crowd pleaser and make sure to try the chicken wings. read more

This is a bare bones Chinese takeout place but it is hands down the best Chinese food in Charlotte. Everything is good and the portions are huge. I would recommend taking the food TO GO! read more

This is my favorite Chinese spot. Their food is always made fresh & they are quick making your order. My favorite is the Sesame Seed Chicken with white meat or The General Taos chicken. read more

I have had Chinese food in SF LA NYC etc etc and this little restaurant is right up there as being one of the best I've ever had! Their crab ragoons are absolutely the best I've ever had anywhere! The woman who answered the phone was very patient with my many questions....she didn't tell me to call back when I'm ready and slam down the phone...the price is very reasonable..so glad to have FINALLY found awesome Chinese food in the Charlotte/Matthews area! read more

The food was excellent, had the shrimp fried rice, and it looks like they grill the shrimp first...I definitely will return.

Wow! This is such a great Chinese spot. Honestly, we had been avoiding trying it because it looks a little sketchy from the outside but seriously the yelp reviews don't lie. This is more of a take out place but they do have seats in case you want to eat in. The sesame chicken was probably the best I have had. You can ask for white meat and they will make it regular or spicy. We also got the Broccoli with garlic sauce- this actually came with water chestnuts and carrots so not sure if there was a mistake or what. The garlic sauce really wasn't spicy so ask for extra spicy if you like it spicy. The fried rice was just okay, nothing special. We will definitely be returning! read more

I have been going to this Restaurant since 2001.... this is hands down the best Chinese food in Charlotte. I have searched high and low and have been to many other places, but there is no crispier chicken in the area, and nothing as flavorful, I tell you! The Yu Shiang chicken is my favorite (extra spicy). If this place ever closes down, I really don't know what I will do! read more

My food, no matter how much I get, only takes 10 minutes. Amazing staff, amazing food, great prices. I love the general chicken, or sesame. The soups are awesome, and watch out for the garlic and broccoli sauce: spicy, man! read more

By far my favorite Chinese spot in charlotte, I live near the airport and still find the time to eat here during lunch. Lunch specials are affordable and plentiful. Like you can get wings, fried rice and a meat. They can have all my coins. I cheated on them today and will never eat anywhere other than buffets read more

Best Wok is the best for Chinese food, I have eaten here for over 20 years the food is fresh delicious and not very expensive. It's a small business but big on quality. I usually get the shrimp with mixed veggies and egg roll, my second go to is the shrimp fried rice and their fantastic chicken wings! Today I cannot make up my mind with which to get but whatever it is it will be good! read more

Our go to spot for Chinese! Generous portions, always hot and fresh. Never had anything bad. Best Chinese spot in Charlotte.

great take out lots of food is given. there specials are the best lunch an dinner. can get wings/egg rolls with each plate from the special. there beef an broccoli an sesame chicken is bussin read more

In debating 5 stars (WooHoo, as good as it gets') or 4 stars (Yay! I'm a fan), Im going for 5. Not actually because it is 'as good as it gets, as there are quite a few that are as good or better. However, the ones that are as good or better are in the Full Service/Not fast food/more expensive category. With that said, Best Wok is 'as good as it gets in the 'fast food category'. Lets face it, nowadays there is a fast food chinese place on every street corner, most of which are either awful/passable/not bad. Best Wok is hands down the absolute best 'fast food chinese' around. In fact, it is likely better then other full service/more expensive category. But in the fast food category, it is far superior then any other in the the same category. The folks are nice. The food is simply terrific. Lunch specials are fantastic, cheap and more then filing. You can get an egg roll or 3 chik wings with each lunch special. Both the egg role and chik wings are excellent. You can sub out the rice which is also very good and get lomein instead for maybe $1 or so more, but its well worth. Their lomein is great. Not greasy, good texture, great flavor. Ive eaten an awful lot of different items on their menu, both lunch and dinner, and it never disappoints. It would be difficult for me to name what I like or would recommend simply due to the fact every single meal, chicken, beef, pork, seafood etc etc....are all terrific. Give it a shot for lunch or dinner. After doing so, you will likely cross other fast food chinese places you frequent off your list. And again, just because its 'fast food', does not mean it is not fresh or high quality. It is always fresh and always high quality and again as I said earlier, its as good or better then MANY of the more expensive restaurants. Happy Eating read more

Finally found a decent take-out Chinese restaurant in Charlotte! Trusted Yelp on this one, and wasn't let down. Ordered the house lo mein and it's a huge portion with a good mix of noodles, meat, and fresh cooked (not canned & slimy) veggies. Also ordered the General's Chicken and it was delicious. The sauce was very pleasant and tasted homemade with a mixture of honey & spice. We'll be back! :) read more

Great little spot for takeout. They also have a row of small booths on site but all of the traffic on my visit was pickup. They do not deliver. Ordering was easy and the food was great!! Portion sizes were HUGE. My only disappointment was the "firecracker shrimp". We were expecting more of a fried shrimp in a hot sauce (like bang bang shrimp) but it was a dish with very few shrimp literally swimming in a super sweet sauce, more like a sweet and sour sauce that was very watery. It was barely edible. Everything else we ate - sesame chicken, mu shu pork, dumplings, egg rolls, lo mein and fried rice was all delish! I did hear the counter lady tell someone the fried rice has MSG in it. I'm not sure what other menu items have MSG but I stuck with the steamed rice rather than the fried. read more

I think my heart may break if we don't find a place that will deliver good Chinese food soon. I wish Best Wok delivered, they would make a fortune I am sure. Their food is fantastic. They are right next to New Zealand Cafe and given my review of that place we should have gone next door to Best Wok for some fabulous food instead. They have great prices. Everything is cooked to perfection and it's super fast! They are very kind and welcoming, not really a go-in-and-sit-and-eat kind of place, more of a takeout place, which is what we do anyway. I only wish wish wish they would invest in some delivery guys/girls. That would basically complete my life in regards to Chinese food. read more

This is my favorite Chinese in Charlotte, i lived 24 years in new jersey i should know a little bit about chinese food. They have the best house special fried rice and the sesame chicken is full white meat chicken breast good plus. They have a good seafood mix call happy family. read more

Service wasn't great. House rice was not good. Looks like a hood Chinese spot, but without actually tasting amazing.

When I have a Chinese food craving this is the place I go. They're quick, and delicious! I love getting the sesame chicken from here with their spring rolls. read more

Food is always fresh, ask the vegies you like with tofu and they prepare the food as you expect. Hot sour soup is always available and very tasty. Crispy chicken wings or eggroll is included with your order. Limited seats but the wait for one to be available is not long. Takeouts are ready within 10 minutes. Food is never oily as like any other chinese place you go to. Aimee and her hubby (the owners) always will greet you like you are family. Have been going to this resto at least once or twice a week place since 1997. read more

The best!!! I drive 30 mins because no Chinese restaurant near me touches this place!

My first visit to this highly rated Yelper favorite lunch spot. I'm happy to say that the other Yelp reviews were not misleading, the joint serves up some very good Chinese chow. We were there at high noon, and almost every seat in the house was already taken. There were a couple of people in line in front of us (you order at the counter), but the line moved quickly. My lunch companion ordered Cashew Chicken with an egg roll, I order Szechuan Beef with chicken wings. Chicken wings instead of an egg roll? Hey, all I know is that they floated my boat, the wings were excellent. My lunch mate was very happy with his choice, as I was with mine. My dish was a little heavy in carrots, which seemed like a strange addition to this entrée. Did I mention that I loved the chicken wings? Not only were they crispylicious, they were crispy and delicious too! $16 for lunch for 2, including soft drinks, we had a great meal. read more
