DUDE. Anybody with a…read moreSHRED of fiscal knowledge and a hankering for some pretty-okay Chinese food should be eating at this place FREQUENTLY. Rice Wok is the pinnacle of the mid-yet-cheap-as-all-getout Chinese spots in Grand Rapids. It's hot. It's fried. It's less than $8 for the lunch special, which comes with fried rice, a crab rangoon, AND a drink. You really cannot beat this value. In my book, most (American) Chinese food joints are like pizza joints. When it's good, it's really good. But when it's bad, well it's still pretty good. So get your pretty good Chinese food for literally the best price I have ever seen on a full meal in 2024 - your wallet will be as full as your stomach.

Mongolian beef here is thinly sliced and comes out sweet on a bed of super fun crunchy rice noodles. And I love their sweet and sour options. It's that thicker, pillowy breading on the meat that gives lots of surface to pick up that wonderfully red sweet and sour sauce. Service is friendly and prompt.

Despite the many cars outside, we were pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't busy. The spacious interior allowed us to grab a cozy booth. Our attentive waitress promptly served us tea and water while we browsed the menu. We ordered the shrimp appetizer, Mongolian beef, combination fried rice, and sweet and sour pork. The food was delicious, although the appetizer was a bit too oily. Paying cash granted us a 5% discount (except Sundays). Our first experience was fantastic! The clean bathroom and swift service impressed us. The staff was polite, and the ambiance was lovely. We'll definitely return with our families next time.

I love Chinese food and am always looking for a great house fried rice, crab Rangoon and my favorite wonton soup. I was presently surprised with the flavor of the house fried rice. Definitely something to come back for. The wonton was not amatonorder again. Although it has potential I did not feel it was the broth to vegetable ratio I was looking for and the Crab rangoon was out of this world. Highly recommend. Everything including tip under $40.00.

He gave me white rice instead of friend and fixed it quickly and with a smile. So the service would be second on the list. Unfortunately, the gravy tasted so burnt. I assumed it was because of the oil which tasted a little overused. That egg foo young g was good but swimming in oil. The taste of the fried rice was good! My favorite part. Even though those giant chunks of onion threw me off. Honestly I'll, go back. It was pretty empty and relaxed inside.

The service is always really friendly and the food is just so much better fresh out of the kitchen. I love their fresh rolls, their peanut pad thai and their peanut curry. During the summer, they have mango sticky rice that is absolutely delicious. I recommend always going to at least mild spice - without it that flavor can be a bit lacking. One of my favorite places in town!

The store supports the local schools with all the posters hanging up. The food is MSG free. Things that taste good that you should order: crab Rangoon with a side of sweet and sour sauce, seafood combination, garlic chicken, chicken lo'mein, and sesame chicken. Things to avoid: Mongolian beef (not tasty at all), some of the egg rolls break in the oil and don't cook properly, and their sweet and sour chicken is dry with sauce on the side to dip in. I prefer their white rice to their fried rice. This establishment is not updated. It has the same furniture probably since they've opened. Most people get takeout. If you call ahead you won't be stuck waiting as they can get busy. Cash or check only- so visit the ATM before you pick up your food.
