The sesame chicken and the wings were great. We also had dumplings and the chicken egg rolls which were also great. What separates this place from other Chinese restaurants that I have been to in north Houston is that everything tastes fresh. I believe the egg rolls and the dumplings were home made. The sesame chicken has a nice crunchy puffy batter. read more

I thought the food was pretty much average, not bad, but nothing extraordinary either. However, the menu is very straightforward and has photos and the lunch specials were a good deal. The restaurant seemed clean. This would be a good place for a quick and affordable lunch or maybe takeout. Check it out if you are in the area. read more

I'm from Chicago and we have some of the best food in the United States! Don't believe me ask Google. Anyway, i have found that most places to eat in Houston lack flavor. That's not the case here. The food is very flavorful. It tastes like Chicago's Chinese food. I will definitely be back. Go ahead... place that order! read more

We ordered cheese puffs, general tso chicken, combination fried rice, and lo mein. Everything about this place was delicious! When we tried the first two things we were compelled to try more and ended up eating more than what we could. The serving sizes are extremely generous and very well much worth their price. We are excited to continue to try new things off their menu because we were left content! I do have to say that our waitress just seemed like she did not want to be there at all. The food was so good that I do not want to have to remove a star simply because one of their employees do not treat us with full respect. When we asked for hot sauce, she gave us a mean look and proceeded to bring the sauce without saying an extra word. After that, we felt uncomfortable and didn't want to ask her for a to go box so we asked the cashiers instead because they were nice. One of the owners asked us about the quality of food and we happily said it was delicious. One bad apple doesnt make this place bad. We will be returning! read more

Wow! It's my first time at Chow Wok, and I'm impressed. I'll be a repeat customer. The food was fresh: the vegetables were crunchy and fresh, the shrimp was tender and well-cooked, and the fried rice was delicious. The very reasonable lunch special price included a well-spiced soup and beverage for the eat-in lunch special. What surprised and pleased me most was the hospitality and excellent service from the staff of this walk-up counter restaurant. They brought my food and beverage to my table, checked on me, and were happy to get me a refill of tea when they saw my cup was empty - and this is from a counter-service restaurant!!! They certainly have captured the spirit of Texas hospitality. Better table service than many sit-down restaurants! I liked the bright dining space. I look forward to coming back with my friends. read more

i'm not from this area. I was getting my truck service across the street and decided to find lunch option. i saw this in yelp and i literally have to just cross the street from A+ transmission specialist. Their lunch options are good and price right. for under $8 i got this mongolian chicken that come with fried rice, egg roll, soup of choice and drink. this a steal. The service is cook to order and fast and the seasoning is is decent for this price it's basically fast food. highly recommended read more

Not a fan. We ordered beef and snow peas, chicken and broccoli, pork and veggies, salt and pepper tofu along with a couple of fried rices. The food, outside of the salt and pepper tofu and fried rice, was soooo incredibly sweet actually cloyingly sweet that, unfortunately, no one in our family would eat it. The fried rice was over darkened with soy sauce??? maybe cooked twice as another reviewer put it and not very appetizing. The salt and pepper tofu is good but it was take out so a little soggy (this was to be expected). Sadly we ordered based on the reviews and were out over $100 and pretty much everything went into the trash. Not sure why the reviews are so high. We certainly aren't a fan of the overly sweet Americanized Chinese food that is served in so many restaurants here. read more

THIS PLACE HAS SOME OF THE BEST CHINESE FOOD!!!!! I have ordered from Chow Wok about 4-5x now and the food is always made fresh. It's a quick turnaround from the time I place my order to when it's delivered or ready for pickup. Customer service is pretty good, they will make recommendations/accommodations as needed for your order. I haven't dined in so I can't speak to the restaurant setting but the food at this place is quality and so delicious. I usually order their house fried rice with no pork, peas or carrots and an order of shrimp egg rolls. Eleven out of 10 every time. read more

Just in town for four days, really wanted some Chinese, can't get any good Chinese in South Padre! Ordered Mongolian Beef for my meal and Almond Chicken for my wife. Also had hot and sour soup, shrimp egg rolls and shrimp fried rice! What a meal!!! Great food and excellent service! The price was extremely reasonable and the portions were large! I'm going to go back on Friday and get some more to take back to the island with us! Saturday dinner! read more

Tried it out for the first time food was definitely on par. Would recommend if you lookin for some good Chinese food.

This was my first time ordering take out at this restaurant. I ordered the Kung Pao tofu. The tofu was hard and burnt and looked nothing like the menu item. When I called to inform them they did offer a refund but I chose to exchange it for something else and they charged me $1.62 when I returned to the restaurant (the difference). So I burn gas go out of my way to return a burned item and get charged more....The staff were not apologetic or sympathetic at all. I will not be visiting this establishment again due to service. I did give 2 stars because the wontons were good. I h Second visit was a good one. I went back again and they wouldn't honor their promotion on check in. I gave them a chance. I will not return. read more

Amazing food and fast and great service I enjoy they remember there customer the restaurant is extremely clean and welcoming

I love their general tso chicken, green beans, and eggplant dish. I usually have it delivered 1-2 times a month. But they changed the size and recipe for the green beans and eggplant dish. Why!!???!! read more

Everything I've tried has been fantastic! Had the pan fried pork dumplings, egg rolls are sooo good and it's hard to find good egg rolls that are not so greasy or flavorless. Their sesame chicken very good as well. My coworkers love their food too. Lunch prices are perfect! read more

Best Chinese food in town. I was really impressed. The service was fast and the people there are very nice. I'll be back soon. Thanks

Recently moved to the area and have been on the search for a good Chinese restaurant while driving down Dairy Ashford today I spotted this restaurant and pulled them up on Yelp as I frequently do before deciding to try out new places. I saw that they had good reviews so I decided to give them a try. I ordered general Tso's chicken with fried rice and a pork egg roll. The chicken pieces in the general Tso's were nice size pieces and the sauce was just right not overbearing. I think the broccoli should be added in with the chicken at the end of the cooking process to give it a better taste not just plain. The fried rice was plain, no vegetables which was okay with me. The pork egg roll was good as well just seemed to have too much pepper. I would have given them 5 stars if I had not looked at my menu when I got home and on the back it showed dinner specials for $7.75 which was almost $3 dollars less than what I was charged. I should have been offered this when I called in my order. I will visit them again. I even joined their loyalty club. read more

Chow Wok - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

UPDATED PART TWO: avoid restaurants where the owner goes back and forth with the customer on a honest yelp review. Plus I received a horrible MSG headache from this food. UPDATED:: There is a small percentage of people with peanut allergies you should include a drop down menu to accommodate certain allergies and preferences. Ordered Kung Pao Chicken for delivery-- I did not received Kung Pao Chicken but received chicken raddled with some sweet sauce without the peanuts that are usual associated with Kung Pao Chicken. Will never order from here again. read more

Chow Wok - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've only ever ordered online for delivery, but their beef and broccoli is the best in town. It's what I always get, and I love it! It's so flavorful and there's enough for me to have leftovers for lunch the next day! It's my favorite Chinese restaurant! read more

This place used to be SO good, it's all we ever ordered. Quality has gone downhill and we have since stopped eating here. From empty crab rangoons to rubber-like meat, last time I ordered it went straight into the garbage. read more

Was craving Chinese and my usual spot is closed on Mondays. I said well let me try this I'm already here ‍. This is a hole in the wall kind of spot, surrounded by diff kinds of cuisines. Ordered something "safe" combination fried rice and crab rangoon. Boy oh boy was I surprised! The rice was tasty, the shrimp deveined, not greasy like at some other restaurants; and generous portions as well. The crab rangoon was yummy. Food is affordable service is great. The coolest thing about this place? If you call it rings 2-3 times then cuts you off...wait for it. The restaurant sends you a text apologizing for being extremely busy and they will try their best to call you back ASAP. Would have taken a star away cause I requested no onions and there were some. To be fair, they tried to accommodate my request. It was probably a few pieces stuck to the cooking utensils. Check out this spot! read more

This used to be good Chinese food but they've started changing their recipes. If it isn't broken don't fix it. It's very subpar now. Lo mein isn't what it used to be and the general tsos chicken sauce is weirdly thick and the breading just isn't the same. Not coming back again. I've been a customer since 2019. read more

Best food, excellent service, and a great ambiance. They're practically perfect in every way. I would highly recommend them to anyone who likes Chinese food. read more

I happened on this restaurant and I'm so happy I did. The service is wonderful and the food is always hot and delicious!! They have reasonable priced lunch and dinner specials that included a soup and drink. You can't beat the price for the amount of food you receive. You can dine in or get it to go. Just know that if you order the lunch or dinner special to go it does not include the soup. I highly recommend this restaurant if you have a taste for Chinese food. Customer service is always positive. read more

I love chow wok! Orange chicken is fabulous and o also enjoy the kung Pao chicken. My husband is vegetarian and he enjoys the tofu dishes. I also love the egg drop soup. Very quick service! read more

This Chinese spot was suggested to me by a fellow yelper! I decided to check it out on my home from work yesterday. One of the first things that was mentioned to me was their very reasonable lunch menu. Even though it was dinner time when I went they offered some great combo's which were under $10. I ordered General Tso's chicken/extra spicy/ fried rice, eggroll, and a drink! Guess what? That was all included in the combo which was under $10 bucks. When I got home, I tore into it. I must say, my meal was very delicious. The customer service was great. The restaurant and decor was inviting and nicely done. I was told they've only been open for 13 days. I wish them well and anticipate the opportunity to return. read more

Chow Wok - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Chow Wok opened recently near our office and I swung by to check out the new neighborhood option. They were advertising a Lunch combo special for $5.75. That alone makes this place worth dropping by to try out. Interior is a fairly small no frills strip center style restaurant. There's a counter for ordering with the kitchen close behind it and about ten tabletops for dining in options. They of course also offer take-out and delivery to the nearby area, plus corporate catering. The menu covers a broad swath of Chinese Restaurant offerings. General Tso's, Kung Pao, various chicken, beef, seafood and pork stir fry recipes, soups, lo mein, noodles, eggrolls and on and on. What really is a stand out for me was the price for lunch. Like I mentioned above, there's currently a lunch combo for $5.75 that includes a protein dish, fried or white rice, a soup and drink. I ordered the pork in garlic sauce, fried rice, egg drop soup and a soda. Everything came out quickly, was up to expectations and portioned larger than my stomach could handle. Matt, the owner, was helping run the counter and extremely friendly. Service all around was very attentive and I had zero complaints walking out with a stuffed stomach. I need to come back for dinner options sometime, but have definitely found a goldmine for simple Chinese food near the office in the meantime. read more

Decided to give this place a try since it's so clue to the house. They offer GREAT lunch specials and fantastic prices! Food arrived quick and hot! Only suggestion would be for them to do some kind of system (pay and get a number or sign to put on table) to easy spot who ordered what when bringing out food for a smooth process. At times they would just ask "who had the" Will return! read more

UPDATE: I had to try Chow Wok again because the first time was so good, and it was another great experience. This time, I ordered direct from them for delivery. They let you choose custom options (less spice, more spice, more veggies, etc) and have a custom note section. I ordered sauce on side this time because I have a family member with allergies. They called right away to clarify the notes and said "No Problem!" Delivery was super fast (better than 3rd party for sure) and piping hot. The food was amazing, again. We ordered General Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Egg Rolls, and Fried Shrimp. Portions are great, quality is great, flavor is fresh and on point. This place hits every mark. Once again, thank you! If you are looking for a great dinner in the area, look no further. I think I found my new place for Chinese food. Prior to tonight, I've tried several Chinese restaurants in the area, only to be disappointed. Tonight, though, my luck changed. The food was delivered quick, it was super hot, portions large, and the flavors were on point! I had vegetable egg rolls and orange chicken. The orange chicken had big chunks of white meat chicken and the sauce was a perfect balance of tangy and spicy. Based upon tonight's dinner, I definitely need to try the General chicken next for sure. I only wish they served my favorite dish: egg foo yong. Thanks, Chow Wok! read more

We ordered hot and sour soup, beef garlic fried rice and 2 egg rolls! We got egg drop soup instead of Hot and Sour soup, neither of us like egg drop soup, so that was a waste of food. The fried rice was just okay tonight read more

After a long weekend, I didn't feel like cooking today and had a craving for Chinese food. I saw a few restaurants on Yelp and Chow Wok had the best reviews. I ordered the Hot & Sour soup and the General Tso's Chicken. Yelp sent me a message when my food was out for delivery so I kept my phone with me. A short time later, there was a knock on my door. Easy as pie. The food was still very hot. The order was correct. They even put in 2 hot oils, just like I asked. I like my food spicy. Hehe. The Hot & Sour soup was so delicious, I almost wanted a 2nd bowl. The General Tso's was on point. Love, love, love. I have enough for leftovers for another meal. Maybe again for dinner with a glass of wine. Ooooh, yeah. I found my new go to Chinese restaurant. So happy right now. My tummy thanks you. read more

It's a hole in the wall place with bare minimum ambiance, it's definitely not a dine-in, date night restaurant, but god is the food good!!! I especially love the seafood garlic butter fried rice. It's my new favorite food! So, if you are looking for Chinese takeout or delivery at a good price with great taste, this is hands down the right place! read more

it's classic take-out chinese-american food but damn tasty and a PHENOMENAL lunch special price. Keep that in mind and you'll like it (don't expect that it's the same as going to ChinaTown and getting something super China-authentic) read more
