There's nothing wrong with the food, maybe the occasional hair or two there but besides that the food is mid tier. BUT! Do not give your credit card to anyone here, I don't usually give my card # to make orders anywhere but the one time i gave them my credit card for them to input the digits, someone tried taking 200$ from debit card at a Walmart, but thanks to anti-fraud they couldn't get away with it. Me and my family will never go here again from any shady person. The family is really nice, and everyone in there is okay it's just that manager with the snap-back. Doesn't look like he wants to be there and just brings a terrible mood around. I would rather eat at panda express and that is saying a lot because panda is complete garbage. read more

So what's wrong with this picture..... I ordered Chinese food and I got the wrong order!! So I called and they were going to send the guy back!! Ok that's fine but then they tell me they are going to throw out the wrong order!! Uh ok you rather throw it out then let us have it!! He said I could have it if I paid for it!! Ok I am not a cheap ass but why would I pay for the wrong order?? So I gave them the wrong order so they could throw it out!! Dumbass!! I mean it's so wasteful!! I could of donated it!! Don't order from China Wok!! read more

Pretty good Chinese food. This is the orange chicken and Lo mein combo with crab Rangoon. Definitely prefer this place over other Chinese restaurants in this area. read more

China Wok - Chinese Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Ordered Orange Beef and Kung Pao Delight. Everything was fresh and a real treat. Used their online ordering system, and it was a complete menu. Delivery was right on time and piping hot. read more

I don't know why I waited so long to try China Wok. Maybe it was I didn't think Chinese carry-out could get any better than what I was accustomed to. I frequently rotated between two or three different restaurants in Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights, but with all my trips to Binnys in Des Plaines I just somehow wrote them off for years... until recently. Let me preface that I love Chinese food, or at least what passes for it here in the States, but frequently I get indigestion afterwards. Not sure why exactly, but it seems to be a common issue for me regardless of the cook/restaurant. However, that is no longer the case. After my first visit & order was nothing short of spectacular, I've ordered from them about a dozen times now: lunch specials, full entrees, you name it. Everything has been cooked perfectly: the vegetable mix included with meat dishes is great, the sauces are wonderful, the chicken isn't overcooked or dry, and more. If you haven't tried them yet, you should as soon as possible! read more

I'm impressed. Lived in DP for 4 yrs and regret that I am just now trying this place, which has as of now replaced my go-to expensive, thus not-ordered-very often Szechwan. (Yes, I realize Szechwan is a SIT DOWN restaurant, but I alway took out) The portions are large. Two entree and two sides garned two meals for two people. Breaking down the check into 4 meals, that is $6 meal. Enough with with numbers and onto the food Please don't judge the place on the strip mall location or that it is small (two tables and a counter w/ stools). We ordered: order egg rolls order potstickers orange beef mongolian beef (combo that comes w rice n eggroll) Both of us ordered our entree "mild" and they actually were MILD yet not bland (order orange beef or chicken mild at Szechwan and you will find those red peppers in your meal regardless). Typical in that young family members were happily occupied at one of the tables. Chef actually gave us the bag and confirmed that he had done the order right (!!). The friendly owner was happy to tell us they deliver as far as 5 mi. (YEA for me!) Pot stickers awesome - why is it some restaurants dont serve w the typical dark sweeter soy w ginger? - I am glad this one does! The fried rice that accompanies the combos is chicken fried rice. Good flavor, not greasy and you can actually SEE the carrots and chicken in it, not slivers but actual chunks. I can't wait to try more of their menu. Honestly, I've been getting such attitude at Szechwan, albeit on the phone, I am happy to take my business elsewhere. read more

Not sure what everyone else that reviewed this place ordered, but my experience with the sesame and orange chicken dishes were truly *just a-ok.* sesame chicken had a lack-luster red color, it was drenched in sauce, and it tasted more like a desert- holy moly it was sooo cloying. Orange chicken: Tasted exactly like the sesame chicken except it was a little spicy. The only way my boyfriend and I were able to distinguish the both of them was that the sesame chicken dish came with sesame seeds lol. The crab rangoons stole the show, but hey, there wasn't much to compete against. I though they were scrumptious, airy, and oh so tasty i just kept taking bite after bite.. The food isn't all that bad buttt i wasn't impressed and i most likely won't be back. read more

When I called to order, the woman on the phone was extremely rude, not typical oriental shortness, intentionally rude. She was white. Then they took an hour to deliver my food, which was two small orders. I've worked as a server for years, so it takes a lot for me to determine low quality. This is my first review ever. They didn't give us napkins, the food was not good, no seasoning and I found a piece of metal wool from a wool scrubber in my food. read more

China Wok - Chinese Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Had ordered for delivery which came on time for a starving gastro. Serving were bountiful for the price, however flavorwise is a typical Chinese food. Nothing very special, but I liked their shrimp fried rice - not too salty and shrimp is plentiful. Must be a good place to dine it. Maybe better plate presentation as well. read more

NOM NOM NOMMMMMM... I could eat their egg rolls by the dozen. Best Chinese in the Northwest Suburbs. Order the garlic shrimp and then thank me. read more

My dinner: General Tso's chicken, fried rice, and an egg roll all for $6.50.. It was great the price was even better! read more

Ive had a many Chinese food over the years, and this ranks as one of the best American hole in the wall Chinese places ove been to. I personally could do without the peas and carrots in the fried rice but they weren't overpowering. The crab rangoon was one of the best I've had, with actual chunks of crab and onion. The side order of bbq pork was good, but not the best I've had... but it was worth the $6. Best of all, ordering online helps to get your food hot and piping. Don't sleep on this joint. read more

Best Chinese Food in the Chicago suburbs! Friendly staff, ingredients are fresh and well prepared - and they waited up for me 10 minutes past close tonight (hit traffic on the Kennedy - shocking, I know). Recos: Beef w/ Vegetables, Hot And Sour Soup read more

So good each time I come here. I always get the sweet and sour chicken it's always cooked well portions are massive !

I agree with other Yelpers the prices are pretty amazing! I've been here once for lunch and I'm definitely coming back to try other menu options. Another Yelper mentioned that it's the best Chinese food place in town! I need to still explore the menu. I will say a HUGE plus is that it has lunch specials on Saturdays! Which I absolutely love... read more

Love it. For what it is - just a neighborhood strip mall Chinese place - it's great. Never had a bad meal and never regretted ordering what I got. Try the dragon & phoenix. read more

The best place to eat and have friendly service their Lomein out of this world. I live in chicago. And I get food from China wok that has to tell u something... Also the staff is friendly and very helpful been to few other places. And would never go back since I found China wok in des Plaines il read more

I order beef broccoli today and I am so disappointed. Completely tasteless, frozen Chinese food will have better taste. Spicy wings I order completely dry, overcooked and also tasteless. I don't usually review but am so disappointed I felt the need to do it. Ratings dud not match these time. read more

ordered beef chow fun - taste and flavors were good - noodle preparation however was very poor - if you have ever eaten beef chow fun when you do not separate the rice noodles in this dish it can ruin it very badly!!!! Sorry it keeps me from giving a favorable review read more

China Wok has good dishes for a very reasonable price but I have had two bad experiences with delivery. One with a messed up order (sent me A shrimp dish instead of chicken) and one that was delivered about an hour after they said it would. Neither time did they bother to correct their error. I'm personally done ordering from them I hope you all have a better experience than I have. read more

I love this place! Not only is the food awesome, but the owners are super friendly. I have been searching for a good Chinese restaurant in the Des Plaines area for years and was disappointed. Then one day I noticed that this restaurant opened and I gave it a try. My family and I were impressed on how good their food is. So impressed that we catered food from them on several occasions. We usually get the Mongolian Beef, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Veg. Lo Mein noodles, Hunan Beef, Beef and Broccoli and Veg. or Chicken Fried Rice. I'm ordering from them tonight, yay! I definitely recommend this place, you won't be disappointed. read more

Love this place. Fresh ingredients and tasty. It took me a long time to find a good Chinese food around Des Plaines, most places are horrible and some just okay. I hope they continued serving with this quality. As long as they do, this will be my spot. read more

This is one of those places that it's hot brown and plenty of it for the price! I usually get the fried rice with egg rolls. The portions are so big and filling you can easily make two meals out of it. They're fast and don't mess up the orders. Not the best Chinese you'll have but not the worse. read more

I hate to give this place a bad review because I like their food its just this past time I ordered I was not pleased at all with their service. I placed my order at 7:30 PM through Beyond menu which is what they use, at about 8:15 I called to check on the status and the person told me the order was done but they were waiting on their driver and that the site only just got the order at 8:00pm. Why is it that it takes an extra 30 minutes for them to get an order when you order online for them. it is now 8:52pm and my order is still not here, I called again and she told me he left already and should be here soon. I live about 5 minutes away so this is a ridiculous amount of time to wait for food. read more

I must say, this place is quite impressive for a Chinese restaurant in this part of the suburbs. Came here for lunch today, got the General TSO chicken lunch. Let me start by saying that I'm impressed with what I got for just $5: Two large Rangoons and a dinner-sized entree. Now to the food. The Rangoons were great. They actually tasted like crab not some random soy food. There were not burnt or overcooked and had a nice amount of stuffing. The TSO Chicken was great too. It was a lot in that white container. They stuffed it to the max which left me enough for TWO DAYS. I love the option for vegetable brown rice as most places just give you white. The chicken itself was well seasoned and had a lot of sauce. It wasn't dry or lacking on sauce. My order was relatively quick. It only took about 5 minutes. I plan to be back if I'm in the area again one day. read more

I've been going here since I was little and it's my family's go to Chinese food spot. My dad is super picky and lovesssss this place. They give you so much food so it's worth the price! read more

This is an excellent China Wok. Not only is the general food quality, very good, but they are very generous with the portions. Lunch specials are a steal. Also they have homemade crab rangoon which is outstanding! These guys need to open up a stand-alone restaurant which isn't called "China Wok." The mediocre name is unworthy of the great cooking! read more

Horrible horrible horrible!!! Worst customer service I've ever experienced!!! I ordered what was supposed to be shrimp and scallops with garlic sauce and white rice and a spring roll. they gave me two shrimp and no scallops, fried rice and a regular egg roll.. I called them and they said they would re make it ... I went back to get it and gOt home and it was worse than the first time I ordered it... not even 1 shrimp this time and not even 1 scallop! I called to tell the guy and it turned into a screaming match of him denying it!!!! It was all vegetables! Never again!!!! This place is cheap read more

Excellent Chinese food. Easy to order on-line for delivery and they let you choose the time you want it delivered. Everything we've ordered from this place is excellent. Highly recommended. read more

Went to this place for the first time on Monday. I have been wanting to try this place because they have fish on their menu (and most suburban Chinese restaurants don't). I got the Hunan Style Fish Fillet, and it was very tasty! I'm not a fan of the water chestnuts and baby corn that seam to come in all suburban Chinese food dishes that contain vegetables, so next time I will ask to have those excluded.My husband got the General Tso's Chicken Combination plate. He also enjoyed his food. The portions are very large so you will always have leftovers. (I love leftovers!) The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because you can find much better Chinese food in the city, which is no surprise. But for a quick fix without traveling, this place is great! I will be back! read more

Just moved to the area and based on my fiance's opinion and Yelp, I gave them a shot. Best. decision. ever. I judge how good a Chinese restaurant is based solely on their egg rolls. Seriously, if your egg rolls are less than extraordinary then I won't be back. That was not the case here! Huge, full of flavor, cabbage, veggies and meat. The outer wrapping was crispy and not too greasy. A+ I ordered the beef fried rice and it was great. The beef was very tender and the rice was cooked perfectly. .with not a lot of egg, which I appreciate. My daughter got the orange chicken and I snuck a taste and it was on point. Crispy and the orange flavor was yummy. We will definitely be ordering here again..no doubt! read more

I have a usual take out order - beef chow fun and governors chicken. The beef chow fun was perfect - soft, salty, big chunky cuts. The governors chicken ... they don't offer; it's simply general tso's chicken but sweeter. So, true to form, I didn't like the tangy flavor in their general tso's chicken. However, they do make the classic deep fried chicken and pan coated cornstarch sauce that I would expect from such a dish. There's a super blonde lady working the counter and only one English speaker in the back (with Chinese speakers from varying regions). Which I find adorable. I'll definitely be back. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for years, usually with good service, but the experience that I just had has secured the fact that I'll never give them another dime. Horrible. I just came home from ordering Curry Shrimp, extra vegetables and no rice. I should've known that there was an issue before I left the restaurant because there was rice in the bag. The cashier took out the rice, went to the back, then gave me back the bag, minus the rice. Made it home, opened my food and noticed that the shrimp looked strange, it was chicken. I called the restaurant to let them know that there had been a mix up and the owner just handed the phone off to the cashier...who then argued with me that I ordered chicken and not shrimp. I don't eat chicken from Chinese takeout, EVER, so I KNOW what I ordered. REALLY? So instead of correcting YOUR mistake on a $7.00 and change meal, you'd rather lose a customer? Ok, I won't argue with you, just won't be back. read more

Omg this place was Amazing the spicy chicken wing are to die for dont ever stop making these. If your looking for some good Chinese food this is it trust me im from new york and im here on a business trip and this place is really good. read more

Food is always good, but the delivery was lacking. Order placed at 4:55pm and finally delivered at 6:40pm. I called the restaurant twice first time I was told "sorry we are very busy your delivery is on it's way this was at 5:50pm called again at 6:10pm since we live less than 10 minutes from location. She finally contacted driver and I was told he would be there in 5 minutes. Ugh food finally at 6:40. read more

First time picking up food from this location. I really enjoyed the food. Pick up was ready even though I arrived early. Very busy place. 5 people waiting in line and the phone did not stop ringing. read more

The worst Chinese food I've had in a long time. I used about a trees worth of TP. Idk what else to say, it was bad.

China Wok has a friendly staff and are generous with portions. Flavors are standard but tasty. My family had an issue with picking up an order at the time we originally set for, and they let us pick up the food 3 hours later. They also remade all of our food, which was unexpected and so so nice. I recommend coming here for cheap, good food. read more

Just had my first delivery experience with this establishment, and I am more than satisfied. I always appreciate the opportunity to order online, and the delivery was fast and friendly...and my food arrived nice and hot. My garlic chicken entree was good and the large portion is BIG. On the downside, the "medium spicy" was not, in fact, very spicy at all. There was also the usual pitfall of downmarket Chinese dishes: heavy on the zucchini, light on more flavorful veggies. I got the steamed pot stickers as well. They were thick and doughy, which is pretty much what I was going for. Overall, considering the good service and the value (especially considering the portion size), I will be ordering again. read more

the worst food ever. Do not trust another positive reviews ,and stay away from this place. If you decide to order ,then definitely avoid the shrimp toast. It stinks like petrol . My wife wanted to throw me out together with the food that I ordered . And BTW , they know how bad the food is. Called in to ask for refund for the shrimp toast and the order taker didnt even suspect that I'm lying. Stay away, dangerous!!!!! read more
