I honestly don't think I've ever disliked a Chinese restaurant more. :( The wonton soup was bland, crab puffs were over fried and the Mongolian beef was the weirdest version of sliced meat. Nothing had flavor! I don't feel the price was reflective of the lazy quality. read more

Golden Wok - 8. Sesame Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is the most friendly neighborhood Chinese restaurant in Oak Forest! Dine-in and takeout are equally tasty. Food is fresh, service is great. read more

Pretty good all around American Chinese. Egg drop, mushu pork, egg rolls, rangoons, sesame chicken are all good. Not a huge fan of the fried rice, it had carrots and green beans in it? Also didn't love the shrimp with lobster sauce decent value good portions. read more

Don't go by the pictures that are shown by them on this site. The Low Mein they give you two big helpings of ice cream scooping on the lunchen, & on the Dinners I never got twice what the picture shows of the same item. read more

So, how long does should it take to cook chicken wings? Especially by a Chinese-American restaurant? You'd think 15, maybe 20 minutes maximum right? We waited 55 minutes since putting our online order. As we waited and waited and asked them what took so long, they kept saying the wings take a long time which was baffling to us. Well they must be right since 8 of the 10 wings were inedible and hard as rock when we received them and opened them up at the hotel. We couldn't bite into them since they were overfried and overcooked so we threw them away. As for other dishes, the vegetable spring rolls were bland although it was probably the only good thing we ordered. The combination chow mein we ordered was watery and also bland. These items probably sat out for a while due to the wings taking so long which never happens for chicken wings. And they didn't provide plastic utensils or chopsticks for us to eat which was inconvenient since we were eating at our hotel so we had to use the chicken bones to scope the chow mein. Talk about a pissed off eating experience. Not sure what people like about this place. It was fools gold for us. Probably the worst place I've ever ordered from in Houston. read more

I ordered Togo food and it was an easy process. I didn't order much, just crab puffs, egg rolls and hot and sour soup. Egg rolls were good but could have used a little more pork flavor. I would still order them again. Crab puffs were 7 out of 10. The filling was delicious but the wonton wrapper was a little hard. Hot and sour soup was delicious. 10 out of 20 would eat again. The spice seemed to come from a ground pepper or something like that, but was absolutely delicious. I wish there was a little more tofu (just because I LOVE tofu), but there was at least a small piece in every bite. I'll try this place again for the dinner! read more

Love this place. If i am sick or not sick i always crave their soups. I also like that they have healthy options.

The food is good, but they don't do sushi anything. Hot and sour soup is ok. I have had better.

Great everyday Chinese food, but maybe not so good pricing for everyday. 2.5 - general Tso chicken 3.5 - Kung Pao chicken 3.5 - rice, fried 3.0 - rice, white read more

Friendly staff Good lunch menu Generous portions I get the General Tso chicken a.bit spicy it adds flavor Small dining area Lot of take out or delivery business Fast service for either read more

I went for the 1st time last night, and ordered a bowl of wonton soup. -was not impressed AT all. the broth was almost clear, no cilantro, very few green onions, the wontons were big, that was the only plus, but no flavor at ALL. I asked for xtra green onions too, they weren't in the bag so glad I checked before I left. they definitely need to learn how to make wonton soup. Hughies has the best, but they only serve it on Tuesdays. next time, I'll just wait till Tuesday...... read more

Love this place best quail ever! The manger is the best and helped us. Go here u want be disappointed read more

Great Chinese takeout or delivery! Golden Wok is our go-to neighborhood Chinese restaurant. We have eaten in the actual restaurant a few times and have ordered take-out or delivery often. We live in Garden Oaks and the food delivery is always quick and the food is hot when it arrives. Our typical order consist of Sesame Chicken with Steamed Rice and the Beef Fried Rice. We've also had the Beef and Broccoli and General Yao's Chicken. Also ordered a bunch of Egg Rolls and Crab Rangoons when we had friends over watching the World Series Games. The portions are large, we typically have enough food for a second meal. Definitely recommend! read more

The food was excellent!! The prices very reasonable! I had a vegan dish which I really enjoyed!! Will definitely visit again!

First I was not sure if this was the same place that used to be facing Ella or not, and I did not ask until I had ordered. There were people who had ordered and were picking up to go orders, And a lady was in front of me ordering, and every time she asked for something it was for an extra charge. One guy picking up his order was given a price and after he got his receipt he was looking at it very close. My soup and rice was more than a meal at the Chinese restaurant I usually go to and just did not feel like driving to Spring Branch. I noticed a couple of people in front of me ask for extra condiments after they looked in their bag, I asked for chili sauce before I got my bag... So when I got my order I looked in the bag and the container of chili sauce was maybe a tablespoon at best... so I asked for a couple more and the lady working the counter looked at me funny... And kinda stomped into the back and came out with a little bag, I started to check the bag and she says, "there's 2 in there" ... so I walked out the door. You notice I have not mentioned the food yet.... I got home and opened the bag... to find the little white bag she gave me that only had 1 tiny thimble of chili sauce in it, so she lied to my face! I could not tell if my pork fried rice was pork or chicken...or both. I hope it was boiled pork as I do not eat commercially produced chicken or chicken by products. And don't forget the veg-all... The hot and sour soup was neither very hot or sour, just a runny goo with a few slivers of mushrooms and bamboo shoots suspended in it. Hence the extra chili sauce... but their chili sauce is not very hot. Between the Lying, (which bothers me the most), being tight with their condiments, even McDonalds gives you 2 sauces with their yard bird nuggets, and the food just not being good enough. What happen to being happy and looking forward to going out to eat. Places like this that do not even get to below average, and we as customers take it. And it's more of our social life than ever before!! The place across the parking lot was packed!! What it boils down to is this place, which had more take out traffic than their dinning room, looses 1 more potential customer and anyone who ever asks me to recommend a good Chinese restaurant, over less than a table spoon of not so hot chili sauce. So disappointed, and seems a little high for what you get. I forgot we took pictures In the rice that's 1 tiny piece of protein Not much in the soup And the size of the chili sauce. read more

HEY guys I'm new to this place Golden Wok. While dining there the other day I entered the small establishment it smelled great and was very neat but when I received my order of shrimp they were very shrimp smelly, anyhow I commenced eating my 5 large fried shrimp but it was very gritty so I looked at it and the cook had failed to DEVEIN THE SHRIMP, so I thought it's highly possible to miss one,cleaning it and such, but NO Way! All of my large fried shrimp entre were not Deveined and smelled . So I missed that meal got up o pay for the house fried rice which was okay and those shrimp were deveined at least. WHILE AT THE COUNTER I told the owner/manager about the shrimp she told me Flat out NO! I shake my head looking down. I said Yes Ma'm I took a picture of the shrimp All of them were not Deveined and that was gross to me. She went to the table took the plate said look! Only three left where the other two? I said look in the knapkin I threw up in. Ha! I really just spit them out with the nasty poop gland, but she insisted. ANYHOW I had already given them my card to pay for the rice and drink I ordered but a mistake paid the full bill. Oh well. They do need to hire better cooks and keep getting seafood fresh. My rice was nominal. My dining experience was bad. So HIT AND MISS IS CORRECT ON MY DECISION ABOUT THIS PLACE. read more

Golden Wok - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Decided to try someplace new and of course turned to Yelp for prospective places.... I'll be honest besides the type of food, I look at the star rating next then the menu, if i get that far.... (dosen't everyone) 4 stars got my attention, and the combination plates furthered my Interest. This place is hidden in the back corner of a strip mall. Dont be put off by that... it is small inside 9 or 10 tables so I could see it filling up quickly at peak times. While we visited there were probably 5 or 6 take out orders picked up... (definitely a great option) The place is clean and the servers are very polite, everything tasted great! Its inexpensive and the portions are large We shared the pu-pu platter as an appetizer, I had the sweet and sour chicken and my friend ordered the orange chicken. I will be coming back for sure! read more

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!!!! I can't tell you how miserable I was when the old location closed down because it was moving. I had gone to other Chinese restaurants in the area, but they're just not the same. China Wok on 43rd was just bleh. Eastern Chinese restaurant, although pretty good, doesn't offer orange chicken as one of the lunch specials. So when this place opened up again, I was stoked! The interior is much smaller compared to the old location, but it looks so much nicer. The old location was just plain ghetto and sketchy. This new location looks pretty decent. I'm not sure if the owners are still the same, but all I can say that the orange chicken is still legit. And even better, they now offer the option for you to substitute the rice with brown rice for an additional $1. Now I can have my orange chicken and still be healthy (Ha!!) Anyway, this place is definitely back on my lunch rotation. Check it out! read more

General's Tso Chicken is pretttyy good! Put this dish on your under $8 meals list. It came with 2 scoops of rice, 1 egg roll, and a small cup of soup. I chose Hot & Sour (the usual go to soup), and it was spicy. Maybe a bit too thick, but I still ate it. Know that I have a picky taste for food, ambience, and cleanliness. I am usually a little hesitant about hole in the wall spots, but I was hungry, and I honestly didn't want to spend more than $10 on a meal. This place was clean, quick to seat me, and the food was pretty good for how quickly it was served (it was all out in less than 5-6 min.) The soup was served before the main dish, so it gave me enough time to enjoy. P.S. The waitress said the General Tso was the restaurants most popular dish in the lunch menu. read more

Golden Wok - General Tso's Chicken with White Rice. Lunch Meal under $8.00 - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Love ordering from them. They are quick, food is always right and fresh, great taste and prices.

I'm really glad that didn't listen to the bad reviews about this place. My partner and I wanted Chinese food and found their website since it was only 7 minutes from our house. I got the combination fried rice and the crab cheese puffs and they were AMAZING. The staff is so friendly when you walk in which I really appreciate. This place is definitely a go-to for us now! read more

Therefore was not really my type and I ordered Kenji and they gave me something else their food was so nasty and they didn't even give me what I already in the race part about it. Their customers were a little kids that was screaming and crying and I really hated it but other than that the food I think the only thing was one thing that was good I don't know the name. read more

It is hard to find good Chinese food. This place is very good. Orange chicken, orange beef and the best egg rolls anywhere!

This place is a-ok in my book. I live nearby, so it's an easy option for delivery or pickup. Their chicken dishes have all white meat chicken. Their hot and sour soup has a good kick. Their egg rolls are nice and crispy but not the biggest. And their lo mein noodles will make several meals! The menu is kind of odd. There is a section for lunch/dinner meals (soup, egg roll,entree) where you can get white or fried rice. If you go to the chef special portion of the menu it's white or brown rice. For example I am a hunan chicken fan, but it's on the chef menu, so no fried rice. And the plus of their fried rice is that it's not greasy. All in all a decent neighborhood spot. read more

I've eaten here before and the food was good but yesterday was so disappointing. My general Tao chicken was so soft I asked for extra crispy and extra spicy. There was no sauce and it wasn't spicy I was just so disappointed!!! I'm still confused it wasn't late so it wasn't like they were about to closed I just don't know but it was a epic fail read more

We've made this our regular spot for a number of reasons. Above all reasons, this spot is hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants in Houston. We've made the following our usual order: (3 people) - crab rangoons - chicken chow neon (Cantonese style) - orange chicken dinner + fried rice, side soup & roll Order is made fresh and owners are usually always working greetings guests and making everyone feel welcomed. Serving portions are fairly large and can also be shared! Give it a shot! read more

Food was excellent. So happy that their dine in service is back open again. The food is so much better when it is not in a Togo box. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was ready quickly with online to-go order. I was impressed with the way it was packaged...double bagged and cardboard between stacked items to prevent smashed containers, leaks and damage. Food was very hot even when arriving at home. Good flavor for all dishes and prepared as ordered. Been back several times since. read more

The food made me immediately throw up. Followed by food poisoning the next day.. The driver didn't knock or notify they had arrived and just left the food outside read more

The rice definitely isn't FRIED‼ more like cooked in water and veggies were still hard like the green beans and corn. I'm very disappointed; not a good Chinese food place to go at all.... I feel like I wasted $25 dollars The General Tso Chicken Is Hard As Well... nothing good came out of this meal.‍ read more

Very Dissatisfied Owner and staff very nice Chicken and broccoli in a brown sauce very sub par in taste and quality Orange beef was more batter than beef. Stomach not happy. Prices going up don't bother me as much as the fact that we are paying more for poor quality. Wasn't this way before. Disappointed read more

Delicious. Fast precise and always delicious. I order here from Uber eats and it's always huge portions. Affordable and cooked perfect. Highly recommend read more

Ordered delivery through Yelp app on my phone last week. Got the dinner portion of the General Tso's chicken with an order of egg rolls and hot and sour soup on the side. Food was delivered ahead of schedule (App said 45 minutes, actual was 35 minutes on a Sunday night). When the food arrived, it was hot and well packaged. The chicken was good - all white meat with no issues here. The soup was hot and tasty - a very generic hot and sour soup - nothing special, but just what you expect. The rice was hot and was a bit of a small portion - might consider ordering an extra rice next time. The only issue I had was the lack of sauce. The chicken was covered in sauce, but not enough extra to have any to spoon over the rice! (My favorite part) All in all, a solid Chinese take-out spot that provides just what you expect at a relatively reasonable price. Would recommend for delivery. read more

Really good authentic Chinese food. It is on Ella but kinda hard to find. Hidden Gem for sure
