China Wok Express

Recently had a craving for some Chinese food while in Whittier. I've passed here many times but…read morenever stopped in until now. Parking is easy as it is a large shopping center. As you enter u are immediately greeted. The location is small but clean. This spot has the premade Chinese favorites on display for you to select from. Somehow the foods here had a delectable appearance, much more inviting than expected. We tried the usuals, orange chicken (very good), egg fu yung (amazing), kung pao (great sauce) and crispy chicken (ok). Surprisingly the rice was not the usual dry fried rice and was good. The chow mein was also good. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality at this location and would definitely return. Minus one star for not accepting multiple forms of payment.

The food is nasty, no flavor on most and nasty on others! Will never come back!!!!!!!!read more

The flavor fell flat and definitely can use some more seasoning. I don't think I would order that again.

Don't know if I'd go back, I don't taste the flavor or see the value in the $50 I spent for two people. *best orange chicken locally in my opinion, is Thai House down the street!

The soy chicken is super sweet though, to the point where it tastes like candy, so I would be careful w that one if you dont like sweet things. I was in the mood for shrimp the last time I went so I asked for a shrimp dragon bowl. The lady spoke very fast and in very broken English. I believe she asked what type of shrimp and I asked what type they had and she had me go down to the steam table that had one type of shrimp, so I was like "ok, I guess that's the one then." The portions and the cook and temp on the shrimp was really good. The sauce on them was straight up mayonnaise though. Looking back at their menu online I now know this must be their walnut shrimp. Never saw any walnuts though. All mayo. So the next time I go I will ask if I can get a bowl of maybe some sweet and sour or spicy chili shrimp because the mayo all over the bowl was kinda gross. Their firecracker chicken, orange chicken, kung pow chicken are all good and the egg rolls they give as part of the combos are the highlight of the meal for sure. The past couple of times I have gone they were still stocking the drinks in the ice bin so when they asked me to take a drink as part of the combo each time they had not stocked any of the sugar free sodas. I mentioned to them if they had a diet soda I would take one and they just stonewalled me and didn't reach over to the stack of cases of diet soda along the wall of the restaurant. So yeah, not the most helpful of service sometimes. I think it might be because they are always so busy and they have one speed where you don't stop to smell the roses and make that connection, but at least you can say that they keep the line moving.

Chinese Fortune is basically Panda Express if Panda Express ditched the corporate polish, gave you…read morebigger portions, and said "yeah, just pile it on." I got the 3 Meat combo with Kung Pao Chicken, Jalapeño Chicken, and Mandarin Chicken, plus fried rice and chop suey. And let me just say: the portions are noticeably more generous than Panda. The Kung Pao Chicken was a little different from what I'm used to. No peanuts here -- instead, you get water chestnuts. Honestly, I didn't hate the substitution. The crunch made it feel surprisingly refreshing. The Jalapeño Chicken was easily my favorite. This was the only one of the three that actually brought some heat, and I appreciated it. Not "call 911" spicy, but enough to remind you that jalapeños were invited to the party. The Mandarin Chicken is basically Orange Chicken's cousin who went through a name change. Sticky, sweet, savory, and very much in the same family. Overall, Chinese Fortune is Panda Express without the corporate training video. Nothing fancy, definitely no-frills, but you get a generous mountain of food and some solid flavors for what you pay. Would absolutely come back when I want Chinese takeout and my appetite says, "No, we're not ordering a reasonable portion today."

We walked in and were greeted unenthusiastically by the woman behind the register after she walked out from the back and I tried to make some light banter and talk about the menu, mentioning that we had just seen a video online that made it look like a good spot, and she didn't engage at all. Okay, maybe she was just tired. So my girlfriend and I both ordered a chicken teriyaki plate and out number was called, we began to eat and were looking over the menu, which looked good but was very standard, aside from items where you could put hot sauce or hot Cheetos on it sort of deal. The food was just okay--nothing to write home about. It was a standard chicken teriyaki plate with a soda. Walking in on a day where the World Cup games were going on, one television was turned off and the other was showing a tv show with the volume off. There was no music in the restaurant, which was sort of weird feeling. The only thing in the background that cut through the four people eating and speaking to one another was the chopping of meat in the background. As we sat there to eat, we realized just how bare the menu really was and how expensively priced most items were. There were advertisements taped to the wall advertising discounts that had ended in the middle of last year right next to us as well, which was odd. Do they still honor the discounts or do they just not clean things up thoroughly? The decor was very cookie-cutter smash burger hipster, with the silver paneling lining the walls and the silver tables and chairs throughout. It just felt bland and in desperate need of a redesign and cleaning. Overall, very bland and I personally won't be back. I'll stick with the classics, I suppose! Thanks for reading!!
