Upside: Great Peking Duck! Downside: Have to make reservations and still had to wait 1/2 hour because there is only one guy who goes from table to table, cutting the duck. Impatient & hungry people, be advised. We didn't have anything else to be able to comment on. read more

The Peking Duck is amazing. I've always thought Peking Gourmet was overrated since it's always crowded and their other food items are average at best. China Wok, on the other hand, has amazing peking duck and everything I ordered was good too. The quantity was gracious and had plenty of flavor (Also order combination fried rice, mapo doufu, and beef chow fun). You can tell they don't really care about the look of the restaurant, but I don't mind either as long as the food is good. Service was superb as my glass of water never went below half the glass. read more

Let's just say that the wait after their kitchen fire was agonizing! I tend to come here for both lunch and dinner and always order from the menus of authentic Szechuan-style dishes. There are several go-to dishes I recommend: - Spicy Seafood Hotpot: A variety of fresh seafood in a fairly spicy stew - Peking Duck: Always crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside - Mapo Tofu: Not exactly the best value-prop, but they make it well here - 8 Jewel Tofu (I think it's called something else on this menu, but this is what I've always heard it called, and they'll know if you call it this): A surf-and-turf style hotpot of protein goodness The only reason why I am deducting a star is because portion sizes vary heavily/lack consistency, and not by a negligible amount. Otherwise, service is as expected of a Chinese establishment and there is a good amount of seating and parking in this strip mall. read more

I came here because I had just finished grabbing some goodies at the TJ Maxx next door. So I was starving and yelping things in the area. This place had MAD reviews, so i fig'd let me try it. The lady at the front was extremely helpful and willing to explain everything as this is not your typical Chinese food establishment. Everyone raved about the soft noodles prepared daily and I really wanted to try that, but she said they were out of it and wouldnt be making a new batch till the next day :(. So I chose something else that was fried calamari, shrimp and scallops with rice. Got my food and left. It smelled good, so i opened it and was puzzled that the entree had no sauce. Like it was literally all fried with some stir fry onions n garlic mixture on the side. I was kinda blown at the size of the portion because for $16.... I need my container overflowing, stapled and rubber banded closed like the greasy carryouts. Preparing to be disappointed, i just mixed the fried concoction with the rice and boy was i surprised! I tore that food up like my last meal. If it wasn't SO far from me (over an hour away) I would eat here regularly, so its probably better that its not. However next time I go to Dulles airport, I'll be stopping by here to try something new. read more

Overpriced food for little portions. Don't ever do take out.... dine in maybe but they changed the chefs..

Stumbled in for a quickie. The owner's wife suggested the Peking Duck. It was very good. It was served traditional style. Very attentive staff. Very friendly owners. Didn't try anything else but the Peking Duck was Ono! read more

China Wok - Chef Wang at China Wok, Tyson Corner, Va - Chinese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Song of the Duck I CELEBRATE the Duck, and sing the Duck, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to my Duck as good belongs to you, or not. I loafe and invite my soul to the Duck, I lean and loafe at my ease observing Chef Wang's knife paring the Duck. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, tastes the Duck, Born here of parents born here from parents the same who loved the Duck, and their parents the same (who sadly probably never had the Duck), I, now many Duck-eating years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not eating the Duck till Chef Wang's death (may he live forever). -------------- Okay, so I like the Duck. Having been practically raised on Chef Wang's Duck at the Oriental Regency as the child of a terrible cook, discovering the Duck at China Wok is my version of everyone else gloating about once again tasting Grandma's home-cooked meal. I have had Peking Duck in practically everywhere on earth, Beijing, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, even a really strange version in Istanbul, and I still find that Chef Wang's Ducks calls to me like no other The trick is his expert de-fatting of the duck. I don't know about you, but I personally dislike the texture of a thick layer of soggy duck fat under an otherwise crispy piece of skin. I pray for Chef Wang's continued health and non-retirement. I find the other dishes at this place, with the exception of Jia Jiang Mien, to be unremarkable. This review is based solely on Chef Wang's Duck; accept no imitations. read more

New to the area and this place deserves this wonderful 1 star for its craptastic tasting overpriced food. Please don't waste your time just because they deliver. Go out and drive to a place in Annandale or Falls Church area. I will never spend another $56 for rice, chicken, and dumplings. read more

China Wok - $56 for crap "Chinese" food - Chinese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

The food here is always great and the Peking Duck is always on point. I always leave fulfilled every time I come to dine.

Chef Wang is still very much in business at China Wok and I was impressed again by their authentic menu, their full-house of CHINESE people (usually a good sign) for good food as well as the great tried and trues. The duck was exquisite with handmade pancakes for $16 for 1/2 duck. The skin was crispy, the sauce was perfect as well as the crispy and fresh scallions to go on top. I brought it home and it was still warm and delicious! The garlic Chinese broccoli was seasoned well but could have used a few more chops. The lemon chicken was traditional and had good flavor. Finally, the combination lo mein had a nice smoky flavor and lots of chicken, beef and shrimp. Unfortunately, Hunan Lion and Oriental Regency are no longer around. To find decent Chinese food one has to cross the American Legion Bridge so in VA...go to China Wok. All the tables are full but it's worth a little wait! read more

Great takeout! Best Dishes: - Peking Duck: they have an upstairs room that will seat 8-10 people - Mapo Tofu: looks super red and spicy, but it is not that spicy and delicious - Singapore noodles are good Parking is free in the strip mall located near the new Silver line metro station read more

China Wok has done it again. They still have their amazing peking duck chef who slices the juicy, crispy pieces of duck at your table. This is still the go-to peking duck in Northern Virginia. Reminder: call ahead to reserve your duck. Okay, now for the change. China Wok has hired a new chef for their non-peking duck entrees. And these entrees are very authentic Chinese. I thought I'd know how good the mapo tofu would be when we ordered it. I was completely wrong. It nails the signature "mala" spicy numbness and the peppercorns are used to perfection. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. You know what I'm talking about. Some other dishes to try: 1) chicken, salted fish, eggplant casserole - it's a hot pot with all of the mentioned ingredients and it is delicious, 2) phoenix fish - fish, lotus root, black bean, and chives. If you've been there before, come back. It's even better than before. If you've never been, try it for the first time. It's the only Chinese restaurant you need to know about in the Tysons Corner area. read more

Oh, China Wok. You used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. (Mark's Duck House & Hunan Café of Reston being close seconds.) I love that there's a more-authentic Chinese menu, with things like pork with tofu skin & dandan noodles. Whenever I've ordered off of the Chinese menu, I've not been disappointed. & a few months ago, when China Wok closed after a kitchen fire, I missed you so - & my partner really wanted your Orange Beef, the spicy-sweet best of that I could find in the area. So you reopened after fixing the fire damage. Excited, I ordered our usual to-go Americanized Chinese favorites: fried dumplings, combination fried rice, orange beef & I asked for something not on the menu, shrimp & eggplant in garlic sauce. I'd gotten it before, & it was very tasty. Not tonight. I don't know if the cook was having an off day, or if - as my partner suggested - during the fire, their chef took off to work somewhere else, but only the dumplings lived up to their previous flavorful greatness. The fried rice was okay. However, the two main dishes, the orange beef & the shrimp & eggplant, were actively disappointing. The orange beef wasn't as crispy as before. The sauce was lackluster. Gone were the bits of hot pepper & shreds of bittersweet orange peel that made this dish so distinctively full of "bite" & delicious contrast. The breading wasn't part-crispy, part chewy, like before, either, just a sameness to it that one would expect form a PF Chang's frozen meal, but not wonderful China Wok. The shrimp & eggplant dish was another letdown. I was very hungry, & yet when presented with a brown & unappealing mass with tiny shrimp & overcooked eggplant, my stomach turned right off & said - don't eat that. I had a bite anyway, & there was technically nothing wrong with it. It was cooked, there was sauce. But slightly overcooked everything, made all the same color, with no care for looks, color or textures, mushed ingloriously into its to-go plastic container - it just didn't appeal. I usually try to "fix" dishes that didn't work the first time, because I cook, & thought this might have a second life as part of stir-fried rice. I hate to waste food, but the partner nixed even keeping it. Oh well. I guess next time I'm in the area, I could maybe give this one more shot, to see if it was a fluke? But we don't order out often enough to want to throw good money after bad. The dumplings were still lovely & I wish you well in getting over the fire damage. I wonder if my partner is right, though, & your previous chef went to work elsewhere. The food was very different. Or maybe I'll just schlep down to Mark's Duck House. read more

China Wok's been around for several decades but have only frequented them in the past couple years. Their food is pretty tasty and is probably the only Chinese worth venturing to around the Tysons/Vienna area. After Hunan Lion and Wu's Garden closed, I had to find another place in the hood. Their menu is pretty extensive and has some dishes that seem pretty authentic (not Chinese, so I'm assuming). You'll find dishes here that you typically would not find in other average Chinese restaurants. I love their Hot Fish Pot and Peking Duck! Chef Wang is pretty famous for his duck carving and the duck here does not disappoint. read more

Best peking duck in the area. Hands down. The cutest grandpa cuts every duck order and the waiters are all very kind. Definitely a no frills sort of atmosphere, but amazing peking duck. Tip: Ask them to make the duck bone into soup for an extra $10. Totally worth it. read more

Fantastic food! Don't know how we've missed it after all these years living nearby. Highly recommend.

$15 min for delivery. I'm not sure what their delivery area is though. (Maybe 3 mile radius) I don't really order anything special here, usually it's their lunch specials. I've had their mapo tofu, and it's ok - I've had better, but they're so close to my office, sometimes, I just need a fix. Today I had the chicken with mixed vegetables. It was pretty good, a nice brown gravy, maybe a little on the salty side, but it hit the spot. The vegetables were fresh (broccoli, carrots, cabbage, pea pod) and the chicken was tender. The broccoli with beef lunch special is good too. Their egg rolls have also never disappointed. I really like the thin crispy skin, it gives a good crunch to the whole egg roll eating experience! I don't know if you're into egg foo young, but my friend ordered it (regular entree). The serving was huge and he loved it. I've had the Peking duck, but my experience was not 5-stars like others. I ordered half of the duck and it seemed like our duck was the smallest out of the bunch. There wasn't a whole lot of meat, but we got a good amount of bones. The duck tasted fine. I'm open to ordering it one more time to see if it's any better. Besides that, China Wok is a good place to grab a quick lunch. The dining room is pretty small and I generally choose to just order take-out. read more

Ended up getting carry-out here with a friend. Their general tso's was tasty, the lo mein was good (although some people might have been turned off by how much garlic was in the order we got- but she assured me this was not the norm), and the kung pao was decent (although it had too much celery in it for my taste). We had enough for leftovers, that tasted a-ok the next day. Quick, convenient, good food. I really don't ask for much more than that from my carryout places. read more

Love the duck here! I've been coming here for years and each time, service is great and the duck is perfecty delicious and moist! Not only that, it's only $34.95 for a whole duck compared to overpriced Duck Changs and Peking Goumet for the same quality! read more

This is the best spot for excellent Chinese food. Strongly recommend Peking duck. Service is great. Seams family run and the gentleman who cuts the duck is a sweet heart. Can't wait till Covid is over and we can sit down again. Take out us excellent, but nothing beats sitting down in a welcoming place to eat a delicious meal. read more

I go here for the Peking duck, and I get it to go. It's delicious and a pretty good deal.

Came home for the holidays and found another place in the area for peking duck! I used to go to Peking Gourmet, but that place is always SO crowded and impossible without a reservation. The peking duck at China Wok is a bit cheaper at $35/duck (vs. $40 at PG) and worth every penny! For our group of 7, we got 2 ducks and 2 veggie dishes. Loved watching the old man in the Nationals cap slice up our ducks. The duck skin was super crispy and everything tasted delicious wrapped up in the pancakes smothered with hoisin sauce. Highly recommend for peking duck, but for other Chinese dishes, there are better options in the area. read more

What can I say? It's close, it's convenient and the food is good, if not remarkably so. The staff is friendly and attentive, and since it's in the Pike Seven Shopping Plaza, it's close to everything you need to get to. (Well, except for a CVS. Wonder why that is?) One big plus - if you order extra for future meals, it is the kind of Chinese food that makes dynamite leftovers a day or two later! read more

I've been here multiple times and each time I keep coming back!! The duck is the best item to get, but if you are feeling something different everything else on the menu is great also! The food is authentic enough that it reminds me of home. This is the place to go if you have the craving for Chinese! read more

Food taste was fine. The main complaint is the portion of dish. We ordered pork ribs and a chinese celery stir fry the portion is not a 14 dollar dish... The duck is small... half duck they gave you 6 wraps and the meat is not enough... there is too much meat on the carcase... they said they will package the carcase for you but they will remove meat before they give it back to you. One star for these cheap movement... read more

Heard from a friend that their Peking duck is good. It close to where I live so give it a try. Its definitely over-rated. Though the skin is roasted well, the duck itself is dry and have no taste to it. Do people know what food should tastes these days? Ordered some authentic style chinese dishes like Canton stir fried fish, pepper salt pork chop and stir fried 'hollow stem' vegetable. They are all way too oily and salty. The Pork chop was fried so dried that its almost as hard as cardboard. I brought this to the attention of our waiter, he didnt even acknowledge my comments and said its their style. Really? I have ate salt and pepper pork chop for 20 years and I know what an over-fried and dried piece of pork looks and tastes like. Service is definitely worth only one star and I will give the food 2 stars just because they at least have authentic style Chinese dishes on the menu. Hope they can improve in the future. read more

This place is amazing the Peking is as good or better than Peking Gourmet I haven't been there for years. I ordered to go after I read the reviews about the Peking Duck. I work nearby and pass by it all the time but would have never gone in because it is not in my neighborhood and have an hour drive home every night. I told them what time I would be there it the order was ready and the place was filled every table. The owner's were very kind and told me to tell them what I thought after. Well you better believe I was back in there a week later ordering again! It was amazing and I was very impressed by how it was packed up to go they included the carcass which later gave me the idea to make soup with it just add cabbage , onions etc... another meal! I just realized this was a review I wrote in the past but never sent and tonight have a very different review in fact a complaint. I order here quite often for my husband after work to drive an hour plus home. I order pretty much the same every time and seems it is never the same .. sometimes good sometimes not. Tonight it was inedible the spice was so heavy it would choke you and Chicken Hunan should never be that spicy we have ordered many times! After picking up at 8 pm and driving home an hour 1/2 later I called the restaurant to ask for a refund and no one answered not even answering machine and it was before closing. I will be calling back for a refund!!!! read more

Peking Duck -- served with wrap, scallions and hoisin sauce. Very Good for $39, but compared to better places: (1) it had a light brown skin instead of dark drown, and (2) hoisin sauce just didn't taste right. Canton restaurants serve it with "peking buns" instead of wraps, but it is quite rare. The duck skin could have been rendered more, and I like the fact that the server (the age 70+ owner) carved it and alos served carcass portions like legs (other servers would juts carve the wrapable meat and remove the rest of the duck, and lose 25% of content). We had (1) Beef chow fun, (2) sauteed leafy vegetables, and (3) wonton soup. They were all decent, but the Chow fun is like spagetti to Italian restaurants - if you can't make it correctly, you shouldn't be in business but this dish is avaialble only in about 25% of Asian restaurants as it is considered a "low class" food. The wonton soup was very plain, with just broth and wonton -- no vegetables or meats/poultry - - we asked for a "wor" wonton which is a "meal" dish but it was not available. The servers were helpful, but it was clear they wanted us to order, eat, pay and leave eficiently . . . . it's a small place and for Saturday night, I thinbk they would like 2.5 turnovers for each table -- we were there at 5pm and left about 6:30 with about 5-8 people waiting to be seated. read more

Order the fish dishes. They're delicious. My wife and I go there once a week for supper and have truly enjoyed the the various fish dishes recommended by the waitress. Of course, the Peking Duck and other dishes are pretty tasty as well. read more

I used to live down the street and have been to this place several times. If you do come here you should get the Szechwan dishes that are listed on the table top. The lunch specials are mediocre. Although it might be worth it for the price. My standard order was either the Three Pepper Chicken or The Hot Pot and Combination Fried Rice. Either beef or fish for the Hot Pot. read more
