Lets be honest folks. When you drive by this place, you know exactly how it works. You grab the paper menu, you order by number, and 8 minutes later, your food is prepared and piping hot. But here's what happened. I live nearby, and have been here quite a few times. And honestly? It is GOOD. All the BS Chinese Food Faves, General Tso's (crunchy, fatty, sweet and delicious), decent hot and sour soup, and AMAZING fruit smoothies (all fresh fruit). This place is much, much better than it needs to be. HUGE portions, cheap as can be, and GREAT, fresh flavors. And by the way, the actual wok they use (you can see the Chinese dudes in back) is frickin HUGE and cool. Sign me up, Fast Wok. You've won(ton)'d my heart. You heat my mongolian beef. Your my Mein-Chow. You Sichuan me over. You... you get the idea. read more

In this crap economy, there shines a beacon of hope for the quality-concerned and shrewd: the Chinese take out lunch special. Somehow untouched during recession, one may always find one's lunch coming in just under $6 for more food than one can eat in a sitting - China Fast Wok is no different. When testing out a new Chinese restaurant, I always play it safe with a whitey classic. Today it was General Tso chicken. Not very spicy, the sauce sweet and thick. It came with a huge portion of chicken fried rice, one peppery egg roll and a particularly untasty fortune cookie. They have my much cherished fruit smoothies, but today was too cold to get one. Noted for the future however, since I will be back. They're quick, nice, the food was good and the quantity will supply me with at least one more meal for the lovely, low price of $5.40. My fortune? "Where there is ambition, there is success" read more

Sometimes you just don't want to cook... the mountains of food you have in your house just doesn't seem to cut it... and you want cheap, greasy Chinese food. THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR! We just moved in down the street and ventured to China Fast Walk for a quick lunch (hehe). Mongolian beef lunch special for my hubby and General Tso's for myself. Paired with a couple of sodas and we were two satisfied customers at the end of our meal. It wasn't too busy so we ate in which I think was best for the longevity of the food. No frills, just your staple Chinese take out go-to. read more

How's this for a first review. I have ordered from here a couple of times before and really enjoyed my food, so on my way home, I ordered some Chicken with garlic sauce and pork lo mein. I ended up getting pork with garlic sauce but they got the extra spicy part right, so I was willing to overlook it. I was enjoying my pork lo mein as it was pretty damn good and was made with those americanized lo mein noodles which I appreciate. In one unfortunate bite, everything changed. After putting a chopstick full of lo mein in my mouth and starting to chew, I noticed something was wrong. I got an unwelcome blast of bitterness in my mouth like I've never tasted before and instantly spit out the mouthful. I didn't see anything there, then wiped the remaining bits off my tongue and was horrified. The bitter taste came from A BUG! A tiny, black ladybug looking thing! IN MY MOUTH! IN MY FOOD! I finally got it all out of my mouth, but needless to say, I was no longer enjoying my lo mein...and sadly won't be returning because insects in my food is were I draw the line. Damn, I thought this was gonna be my cheap neighborhood Chinese spot. The search continues... read more

China Fast Wok - Just bit into that in my food. A bitter, disgusting, BUG! Lost my appetite. Will not be eating here again. - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been a happy customer with China Fast Wok for many years and actually spend a lot of money there (aside from making individual orders, we quite often order their family meal for four.) But last night, for the first time, they made a mistake. I made a single order for Chicken Almond Ding, but I received Cashew Chicken. Ordinarily, I could overlook one mistake out of many, many correct orders. When I called back to tell them about it, I expected the person on the phone would apologize for the mistake and offer me something to make up for it--a discount on my next order, a refund, a free side...but no. The reason I am taking the time to write a review is because I actually cannot believe what happened next, I am extremely disappointed by it, and I believe others should know of my experience so that they can make an informed choice about where they take their business. When I explained to the person on the phone that I had received Cashew Chicken instead of Chicken Almond Ding, they told me I had ordered Cashew Chicken. I told them there's no way I ordered that because I don't like it. Then they told me the cashier said that I ordered Cashew Chicken and that they had even repeated it to me, and that is simply an outright lie. I protested, and then they then told me that customers sometimes think they ordered one thing when they actually ordered another. I repeated that there's no way that I did that, because I don't like Cashew Chicken, so why would I make such a mistake? And then, he started to reason with me! First he said, well it's the same dish, only the nut is different. I said yes, that's exactly the problem--the nut is different, and that's why I don't like it, and that's why I know I didn't order Cashew Chicken. He continued with that line, and then I said well Cashew Chicken is not what I paid for, so that is a problem. Then I asked what are you going to do about it and he laughed! I told him that I and my family have been regular customers of their restaurant for years, and this is not how you treat a good customer. When it was obvious that he did not intend to make any sort of restitution, I said well then, it looks like I will have to find myself a new Chinese restaurant and take my business elsewhere, that I would be providing them with a bad review, said thank you and hung up. So let this be a warning to anyone reading this review--if you order delivery from this restaurant, open the bag before you let the delivery person go and make sure your order is correct because if it isn't, they will not do good, honest business with you. Instead of repairing the mistake, they will blame it on you, so beware. If your order is not as it should be, don't sign--although they might try to tell you that you ordered something you didn't, as they told me, and that as a result you have to sign. I am amazed that over one dish, this business would be willing to sacrifice all of the future money I would be likely to spend there --all they have to do is look at my record of orders to see how often I order there, what I order and how much I spend, and the likelihood of future spending based on that pattern which is that much more reliable because it is many years old. I think it is very bad business to accuse a customer of lying, not to mention lying yourself. And it is dishonest to cause someone to pay for something when they thought they were paying for something else. So I will now also be sure to dispute the ENTIRE charge, not just the charge for the one dish that was a problem. Hopefully I will be able to obtain restitution in that way. So goodbye China Fast Wok! I am sorry you didn't value my business enough to do whatever you could to maintain our long relationship! read more

1 star for the fact that they give you enough food to feed an army - it's obscene. My entree was enough to last me 4 meals. 1 star because it's actually fairly tasty, especially considering the price. We had General Tsao's chicken and Kung Pao chicken - tons of veggies/peanuts, all ingredients seemed to be very fresh. 1 star because it's cheap as hell - $6.00 dinner specials including shrimp fried rice, entree & egg roll - and they delivered the food to my door steaming hot 15 minutes after I ordered it. 1 star off because my egg drop soup had the consistency of rubber cement - totally bizarre. Ken Kee, it ain't. That being said, I'm sure I'll be back often. 1 additional star as it's cheap and close to home and I'm soon to be unemployed and incredibly lazy. read more

Such mixed emotions about this place. Friendly, fast and clean. So what more could a gal want? Well for the food to be good. I'm not expecting very good or excellent after all, this is perhaps the Chinese food's answer to keeping us from seeking out fast food elsewhere. Which I will now do. We had egg rolls, Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken, all a disappointment. I will say that the veggies were crisp too bad they were floating in some type of gelatin salty sauce. As I said, mixed emotions here I guess, why four stars? Yes, I didn't really like it, and highly doubt that I'll be back. However, overall they are accomplishing what they set out to do, inexpensive, fast, and friendly. After all that's what we expect when we go to Burger King, Mc Donalds or where ever, salt laden food devoid of character fast and cheap. So there you go, if you like this type of Chinese food, this is your 4 star place. As for me, there are so many more choices for Chinese I can spare a few more bucks and a few more minutes and get something I'd enjoy. I was going to go one star, but that wouldn't be fair to them, since they aren't trying to be Friendship or P.F. Changs. read more

Best Chinese delivery in this area. Inexpensive, quick delivery, and bigger portions than anywhere else I've ordered from. No up charge for chicken fried rice. Free soft drink with dinner order. Best part is that the delivery fee is only $2.50 compared to $5 delivery fee for food delivery apps. read more

China Fast Wok - Sweet and sour chicken with chicken fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The 5 years I lived in Chicago, this was my go-to for cheap, comfort, snowy day, putting on a movie Friday night, busting out the sweatpants, go ahead and judge me, leftovers for days, family meal for 1, pay day dinner, "where's my big cereal bowl?" Chinese food. It is the quintessential Americanized Chinese cuisine executed flawlessly. And on the cheap! Everyone is always so friendly. Especially that old delivery driver, always with the giant grin. Quick service even on the busiest of nights. My favorites from their menu: -Sweet and sour chicken (The batter is ridiculous and the sauce is delivered in a separate container to pour at your discretion. KEY.) -Orange beef or chicken -Combination lo mein -Mongolian beef -Any fried rice of theirs is legit read more

Maybe this is just some sort of weird thing with my body or maybe it's normal. But as soon as I'm done at the gym, I crave bad things. Things that will cancel out all the benefits of what I have just done. The harder I work out the more my body says to me, "you must replace the bad cholesterol, now" or "I miss my simple sugars!" Most of the time when this reaction happens, I crave a fatty, cheesy gordita or enchilada from a taqueria. And Logan Square has these in abundance. But, one Saturday I found myself craving fried rice. This is one thing Logan Square is in noticeably short supply of. Or so I thought. I have passed the intersection of California and Armitage hundreds of times and, yet, I had no idea there was a Chinese restaurant there. I have to say they're well hidden behind the 7-11 and National City Bank that dominates the mini-mall they're in. But somehow even at 2:00 p.m. (waking up early to go to the gym, who does that?), they were doing a steady business. Their secret must be that they're the only place I've seen in Logan Square that makes (deliciously decadent) bubble teas! Now it's storefront Chinese so I didn't expect a miracle of greatness with the fried rice - and it, therefore, lived up to my expectations. It was just average and tasted high in sodium (my body thanked me for replenishing this vital "nutrient" that I had so selfishly sweated out) but the portion was significant and it was dirt cheap ($3.25 for a pint). I know it was fresh because some of the staff was shucking peapods right at the table next to me. And they put water chestnuts in it! That's an accoutrement that was sadly missing in a lot of my recent Chinese excursions. Their name, also, is not wrong. They are fast. The whole thing was in and out of the wok in about five minutes. Now, I can't vouch for how fast their delivery is but if it's anything like the in-store, the next time I crave the carbs they'll be on speed dial. They deliver all over the city from Halsted to Cicero from Madison to Irving Park for $2.50. And to most of BucktHumbLoganDale for $1.50. While this place, overall, isn't quite worth a run after a run, it's definitely worth a fast wok er walk after a fast walk! read more

Standard Americanized Chinese food. Tasty, salty, yummy, unazdventurous. Zamn fine smoothie bar. Which by the way, Chicago is the only place I have seen a preponderance of Chinese smoothie bars. The Chinese only sell Chinese in Detroit. There are no frou-frou juice drinks, smoothies, yogurt drinks, etc. If you ask for something other than sweet and sour [insert meat choice here] you pretty much get your ass kicked. read more

Pineapple smoothie, Fried dumplings with extra sauce. Don't ask, just order. read more

The first time I ordered it took an HOUR for the food to arrive. Not so excited about that. But the food was very cheap and it was BEYOND good. I'm from the East Coast and we know our Chinese! I had to order again! This time they arrive fairly quick! Love the crab rangoon, sesame chicken is good. I mean the rice could be a tad bit better but whatevs! I'm not too excited about the delivery man who begs for tips when they charge you a delivery fee anyway. I know it might not be the same but I'm a college student I don't have all this money to be giving away to begging delivery guys who drive Camry 08's. I'm just saying.. read more

Ooo..not so good. I've been ordering from Friendship lately so I'm thinking that it's not even a fair comparison, but that's my only basis recently. I got chicken kao pao and chicken fried rice. You would think this means you'd get a lot of chicken. You'd be wrong. The chicken that was in there was awful, predominantly chewy and I think dark meat. Veggies were just kinda random vegetable matter, clearly they've had the flavor cooked out of them. Ah well, the peanuts were good. The egg roll was not. On the upside, it is cheap enough for the most miserly budget. Overall though, i don't plan on going back. read more

There are three reasons I eat here: 1. It's two blocks from my apartment. 2. They have tofu. 3. It's cheap as hell. Seriously, all you need to know. Food is nothing amazing, but does the trick when you are hungry, lazy, and/or in a hurry. read more

This is it! Whahoo! Praise the almighty ghetto chinese! sorry, let me compose myself. Okay. I'm better. If you've read any of my reviews, then you'll know that we just moved here from NYC and we've been having the damndest time trying to find any decent chinese takeout. Papajin is good, Eat First is good, but no one's passed the ultimate test - Hot & Sour Soup. But, thanks to a menu shoved in our mailbox, we found China Fast Wok and our new favorite Chinese delivery place. One of the perks is that CFW has different sized dishes, something you'd think wouldn't be so rare. To start, we had the fried dumplings & soup. The dumplings were your typical fried dumplings, but the dipping sauce was nice & garlicky. Not too heavy on the soy sauce, either. The Hot & Sour Soup was incredible. Like an ethnic Goldilocks, It wasn't too hot or too sour. It had a nice amount of tofu & mushrooms and the other edibles. After the soup, we couldn't care if they served us stir-fried boot. But, luckily the chicken & cashews & szechuan beef were pretty good too. that being said, I just ordered Papajin and the delivery man I can't understand is ringing my door bell. gotta run. read more

It's hard to find places that make Tofu americanized chinese food. Here I could get m Sesame tofu, General Tao's Tofu, Schwann Tofu... The list goes on. The portions are pretty good and if you get the Dinner or Lunch combo it comes out to a pretty good deal. It comes with fried rice, and egg roll and your choice of entree. I Had enough for the next day. The cashier was even nice enough to suggest exchanging the egg roll for a vegetarian roll. While I haven't had much off their menu besides the dishes mentioned earlier I will definitely be coming back to get my tofu fix ON! Ordered of delivery once and it came in fast and still warm, I say that's a plus especially since they were closing. read more

I've lived in HP/Logan Square for 14 years. Low-priced, local, tasty Chinese takeout has been hard to find. Lin's Garden is good but closed on Monday (and we can't have that.) So I found China Fast Wok on Yelp and gave it a shot. Very happy. Great portions, fresh vegetables, properly cooked meat that was tender, fast service, very reasonable prices (I'm feeding 6) and parking. That's right--parking. Listen, you don't go to China Fast Wok to get squid rolls and caviar fried rice. You go there for good, fast Chinese takeout from a clean speedy place. If that's what you want, then this is your place. read more

na na na !!! there is no way this place could have such a high rating. ok my stomach and palette can take almost anything but this place is definitely worse than my cooking on my worst day. The only reason i would keep going to this place is cause its so close to home. For the same price you could get quality food at sultan's market but thats not walking distance. Once i ordered their specials: shrimp dish and all i got was onion dish with few shrimp i could count with one hand. Last week i ordered chicken something and ended up getting chicken and a lot of something.. The taste isnt that good either. Its eatable but pls its not even american chinese. read more

So far almost everything I've tried here has tasted cheap and bland. The only reason I keep coming back is that it's close to my office, and they have two good things: The Hot and Sour Soup, and the dumplings. All of the soups are cheap and huge, but they all suck except fo the delicous Hot and Sour, which is often loaded with tofu and mushrooms. The dumplings are HUGE, and they cram 8 into your to-go container. I've only had them boiled, but you can also have them fried. It comes with a tiny container of tasty sauce (ask for two). For seven bucks you have enough food for two meals, at least. read more

The reason for five stars is because I have been going there for a while now, to the point that they know me and what I order. And, all my friends love going there also. It is near my place, the food is wonderful and you have enough for multiple meals for under $6. Also, they cook in vegetable oil and are really good with substituting meat for tofu. read more

$4.90 for a lunch special that could easily last me three meals, I really shouldn't complain! But... The chicken fried rice tastes burnt. Probably because it took the better part of forever to make my order even though I was the only person there. Ok so it's not DELICIOUS and it wasn't FAST, but I wouldn't really dock them 2 stars for that. My biggest problem? The food comes in a pretty typical styrofoam container... with STAPLES. I am sure that somebody, somewhere, was trying to be nice and make sure my food didn't spill in the bottom of the brown bag tightly secured by extra cardboard, which was then stapled shut again and secured even further by an additional, completely unnecessary plastic bag, but this is overkill! Once I got through the 18th layer of packaging I was completely ravished and so excited to see that white box of yumminess finally unearthed.... only to find that it was stapled shut, requiring me to spill half of the juice from these tasty contents just to get it open. Grrr! read more

I wanted so much to like this place more than just 3 stars. Tried to find as many positives as I could, but still only ended up with 3 but it's really more 3.5. A little back story, was in wicker with my gf and it was snowing so we just wanted to order delivery. Seems like the closest 10 Chinese places that were open and delivered were all 3.5 stars so it's kind of just a guess. I was really hungry and this place had 'fast' in the name, so I was pretty much sold on that. Called in and ordered out food. Didn't give an estimate on when they would come, Ended up coming in 20 minutes so that was definitely a plus. One thing that bothered me is that we ordered orange chicken and Mongolian beef. She asked if we wanted the dinner or the big size. We didn't want a big size since it was just us 2, so we said dinner, not knowing what that meant, just thinking that it was smaller than a big. Dinner means it comes with fried rice, an egg roll and a drink. We didn't know, and still ordered another order of combo fried rice. Maybe she just thought we love fried rice, but still, we had 4 servings of fried rice pretty much for us 2. Other than that, everything was alright. Decent size food for the price you pay. Full thing was 28 bucks, so take off the extra fried rice and it would have been less than $20 for both of us. Orange chicken was good, but has a little bit too much sauce for my liking. The Mongolian beef is a little spicy. I also feel like it doesn't have enough meat and too much vegetables, but that's what my girlfriend liked about it. We also got an order of crab ragoons. Those were eh. I prefer mine super crunchy and these were just a little crunchy. and the insides were more cream cheese than crab tasting. If you want fast and easy, then this place is fine. read more

This is one of those places that has a 3.5 star average and you don't know why. The food is really good, the portion sizes are great, and the service is polite and fast. Their lunch special has a massive portion of chicken fried rice (or lo mein +$2), an egg roll, and an entree for $5.95! read more

This isn't Friendship Chinese by any stretch of the imagination, but if you live in Logan Square and fancy some cheap Americanized Mall-Quality takeout, you won't be disappointed. Prices are very reasonable- around $6 for their dinner meal which comes with an entree, shrimp fried rice, and an egg roll. I ate about half and saved the leftovers for lunch the next day. We ordered both the watermelon and the mango smoothies. The watermelon one was awesome and the mango was equally tasty. I'd definitely recommend ordering one of their smoothies. Their sweet and sour sauce was predictably neon-colored, but the food we ordered wasn't bad at all. If you're looking for fancy (and have the cash), order from Friendship. If you're looking to satisfy a craving for some greasy (but good) crab rangoon and don't want to spend a whole lot, China Fast Wok fits the bill. read more

I love the lunch specials here. For 5 bucks you can get a pretty full lunch. Your choices all come with chicken fried rice, an egg roll and a fortune cookie. Pretty standard I think. I usually go here when I don't have much money on me and I don't feel like having a sandwich. Mainly it is because I don't have a lot of money on me. The service is pretty fast, everything is 10 minutes. The dine in seating arrangement is kind of lame, but it works. You feel kind of crowded even though there's no one around you. Fast just like the name says and the food is pretty good for how much you spend. Oh, and they just started serving bubble teas! I'm definitely going to try one of those later. read more

OK, the crab rangoon was pretty good... The Chicken with broccoli was awful with tasteless chicken and rubbery broccoli. The sweet and sour chicken was OK. Some of the pieces did have too much breading/not enough chicken and the sauce is just as one would expect. The egg rolls are OK, too. The place is cheap, but that's no excuse for bad food. read more

Wowza! A lot of food, cheap, and delicious! Also very fast and the staff is always so nice. I love the sesame chicken and egg rolls! There lunch specials are great as well read more

After NOT having my craving for Chinese food satisfied at Friendship Chinese, I decided to grab a little something from China Fast Wok. I got what I always get---the dinner special which included Mongolian chicken (extra chicken for $2), shrimp fried rice and an egg roll. It's packed with flavor and the servings are very generous. I paid about $12 and that was dinner for both my daughter and me AND lunch the next day. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. read more

I've only had one meal, but I noticed right away that the food at China Fast Wok is not as greasy as most similar little outfits. The egg rolls are a little small and cabbage-y and the dining room is an afterthought, but that is all of the bad things I can think of. It's just a good take-out place with friendly service and reasonable prices. To clarify, the free crab rangoon is for orders of $15 or more. $10 or more gets you a free egg roll or two. That could probably change though in the future. read more

Yanno, it's weird. When we order delivery, it's maybe 20-25 minutes from hanging up the phone to skipping downstairs to pay the driver. But the 2 times we decided to order carry-out, we sat there for at least 30 minutes. It's cheap, it's close, it's fast, food is tasty...it's a Sunday afternoon keeper for me! read more

This place is surprisingly good Chinese food. Its not the best, but definitely not bad either. Chinese food isn't the easiest thing to find in the area, let alone a place to get a quick lunch (I work in the area but don't have a car.) I always get the sweet and sour chicken lunch special at a very decent price and routinely receive very generous proportions. It also comes with an egg roll and a fortune cookie. My coworkers always make fun of me for ordering from the "bad chinese food place" but secretly, I like the food and that's why I keep ordering it. The food is always ready in 15 minutes (pick-up) and super hot when I get it. Also, I saw a commenter earlier say that they felt hungover after eating a meal from here, assuming that it was MSG kicking in- but they clearly state that they don't use MSG or anything of the like on their menu, so that person has no idea what she's talking about. read more

I lived in Chinatown for a year. This food is laughable, not laughably delicious either. Also, it seemed pretty expensive, I felt like they "tricked" me into ordering the "chef's special" even though I probably just wanted the lunch special. Granted, all they did was ask if I wanted a Chef's special, and I said that I did so no points lost or gained here. The kicker for me was the rice. Both the fried and steamed rice tasted a few days old, or not fully cooked. I ordered the General Tsao's chicken, it was standard, but kind of fatty. We also ordered Peanut chicken, which I did not have but hear was pretty bland. They get 1 star for their delivery speed. Though, I would have happily traded 15 min or so for some quality rice. They get the second star for good crab rangoon and lo mein. I do mean to dine-in sometime and see if the food is better. read more

Warning... my wife got really sick after eating here. Woke up in the middle of the night with a horrible fever, really dizzy and confused, typical food poisoning symptoms. I went in the next day to ask for a refund. I wasn't angry or making a fuss, I just wanted my money back. They made me wait for the manager to come over and told me they can't give me my money back because I can't prove it was their food that made her sick. They also wanted proof of a hospital visit, and I had to explain multiple times that taking the CTA to a hospital at 3:00 in the morning with a high fever just doesn't work. I was really surprised how resistant they were, since I've eaten there before and this is the first trouble I've had. I won't see that $20 bucks again, and they won't see my business again. read more

This place offers amazing portion sizes at a great price. The quality isn't "5-star" for all options, but this isn't supposed to be 5-star Chinese food. This is Chinese fast food. This is why it's called "China FAST Wok." This is waiting-for-my-paycheck, too-tired-to-cook, I-hate-dishes, wow-only-15-minute-pickup Chinese food, with a few surprisingly-good options. read more

Look, it's called China Fast Wok, grammar alone should tell you that what you see is what you get. The food is good. Nothing is exceptional, but they are insanely fast, cheap, and consistent. I stick with only chicken or beef, I will not venture out into the seafood category. C'mon, it's Chinese delivery. Don't want to make dinner? Call 'em up, they're good. I hope you like salt. read more

I guess it is all in the name. Yes the food was delivered very fast, and it was hot but they certainly didn't take any time to flavor the food. The dinner specials come with enough food for three meals, but I am not sure anyone would want to eat after they finished the first meal. I guess I shouldn't expect much from a place called China Fast Wok, but how can you send eggrolls and not include sweet and sour sauce. There is definitely better chinese in the neighborhood. read more

i come here a lot. i mean a lot. the food is fast and hot and fresh and cheap. the lunch combo usually lasts me three meals and it costs five dollars (dinner is the same but about seven dollars). i just don't think that can be beat. the soup is three dollars for a quart. it's unseemly. it's not the best tasting but it's not bad either. like other chinese fast food, it does err on the side of being very greasy though, so if you're prissy about things like that, you should probably avoid. i usually get szechuan beef because it comes with a lot of veggies and the beef is tender. it comes with a fried rice that is really good - it has bean sprouts! i've also had some jumbo shrimp dishes and the crab rangoon. the crab rangoon is not so good. oh and the chow fun is not great either. anyway, it's really great when you're in a rush or just feelings extremely lazy. read more

Ding ding ding, winner winner chick'n dinnner; literally! hot fried chicken puffs dip't in one sauce or the other!
