Came across Golden Wok by pure accident. Just wanted some Chinese food and this was close by. The place was nice, calm and it was pretty empty for an evening. Staff was friendly and not hovering, which I liked. They let me enjoy my food and only checked in when I needed something. I ordered the Beef lo mein. And yeah, beef lo mein is one of those dishes that usually tastes the same everywhere. The beef has that familiar Chinese beef flavor that i'm used to, tender, juicy, a little smoky, and piping hot. No toughness, no weird chew. Seasoning was on point. Portions overall were solid. The only thing I always forget until I'm halfway through is there's just not enough beef. I keep wishing for a few more pieces. Glad I found this place. It's right on my way home, which is super convenient. I'll definitely be back. read more

Golden Wok - Beef Lo Mein - Cantonese Near Me - La Grange Park, Illinois

Outside Looks can be deceiving. Service and food is definitely on point!! The servings are enough for two meals. Hot and fresh!!

It's not the same anymore. Crab ragoon used to be full of filling and the last few times, they were mostly the dough. It's just off. When we ate inside, it was dirty. My tea cup had a small hair stuck to the side. Seats were not clean. The service was missing. Waited a long time for everything. Golden Wok has been our go for a very long time to but I think it's time to move on. read more

Food & service 10/10! No matter what I order, it's piping hot, made with love & care, and absolutely delicious! Having the dining area open again has been amazing! Tea to start, cookies for dessert, & stellar service! (Picking up or dining in!) Our go-to spot for a long time, and still come regularly! read more

This was our go-to Chinese place for decades. Birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Days were always occasions to go there or order in. It has changed hands now and is not at all the same. My husband phoned in our order to a young man who could barely communicate. When he got home with the food, the order was completely wrong. He called the restaurant, and spoke to that same man. There was no apology and no offer to rectify the situation in any way. A lot of money for a little bit of mediocre food. So disappointed in my anniversary dinner. read more

First time ordering. Easy to order online. Pad Thai was good. General tso's chicken was mostly breading. Chicken fried rice was very dry and didnt have any veggies just rice and chicken. I would not order anything breaded from there. Wonton soup was good. Egg rolls were average, which is actually good because egg rolls have gone down hill in other restaurants. read more

You can tell it's good by how busy it is, so give yourself time if ordering takeout. Their sesame chicken is excellent, all fried rice is great, and you have to get the egg rolls. read more

Food is delicious! Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely return. Almond cookies for dessert a plus!

First off, I was upset I waited over an hour for my order on a weekday. But the quality is very subpar for the price. Case in point as other Yelpers have posted, their "chicken" entrees (for nearly $20) are nothing more than fried dough balls with a slight hint of chicken flavor. Their audastic description on the menu leads you to believe it's a chicken meatball but I doubt there's any actual chicken per my pics and experience eating that crap. I definitely believe a previous poster about their health code violations, never again! I'll drive further for at least standard quality from now on. Thehoney walnut shrimp had next to no sauce on it, just small amount of dry fried shrimp for $20 Soggy egg rolls. Bland Mongolian beef. Bleh. read more

Golden Wok - Sesame "chicken" which is just a fried dough ball. Absolute garbage - Cantonese Near Me - La Grange Park, Illinois

We owned the building nextdoor and we enjoyed many meals here, until I spoke with inspector. They have had many issues with bugs and rodents, not for us anymore. We keep going to different Chinese restaurants, but covid-45 shut down many of the places we liked. I would avoid this location, not sure about their other restaurant. read more

The food is tasteless! The Chicken Pad Thai was swimming in sauce that tasted like it was made from ketchup and lemon. There was even a sliced lemon on top. It was the worst Pad Thai I've ever eaten. The Shrimp Egg Foo Young lacked any flavor at all. The Orange Chicken was basic and neither good or bad. Needless to say, I will not return. The prices are expensive and the food lacks flavor. read more

OMG! Since WHEN did General Tso's chicken become fried chicken meatballs in sauce? My husband and I just blew $60 on the worst Chinese food ever! He ordered Szchewan shrimp and there were more veggies and peanuts than shrimp....PEANUTS? I ordered the General Tso's chicken. And MY BAD, I didn't read this description: "Hot and spicy. Crispy Chunks of Minced chicken white meat balls, served in a tangy sweet spicy sauce with broccoli." Never in my life have I had this dish and been served chicken meatballs, for $17.25???????????????????? Called and told the lady/owner what I saw when I opened one of the chunks. There was NO CHICKEN IN THERE. They claim there's chicken, but you look at these pictures and tell me if you see any! I told her that despite her repeated iterations of "that's how we make General Tso's Chicken", I didn't like it! But she just kept repeating the fact that other restaurants make it different. No, YOU, make it different. This is Chinese Food Blasphemy! There was no offer for refund, to try something different, just...."too bad lady". Seriously? I'll be glad when my girl from Moy Goy in La Grange gets back from vacation because finding quality Chinese food is WOK. (I mean WORK) I won't be eating Chinese food again until she gets back!!!! My husband is livid and so am I! You spend money on horrible food and your host has no remorse. No apology. My dish went in the garbage upon realizing that I was basically served fried chicken meat PASTE! And I made sure my husband didn't give it to our dog! UPDATE: Husband reading their menu now. BEWARE of CRISPY Sesame Chicken, and ORANGE chicken, same horrible little chicken balls. Seriously! Ruining a traditional Chinese dish like this? There should be a WARNING on this menu item that there's a quirky TWIST on traditional Chinese Fare. BEWARE. If you don't like something on their menu, too bad, you paid for it, its yours! read more

This is the lowest quality chicken I've ever had from a Chinese food restaurant. I'll never order from this place again. The chicken looks and tastes artificial. My wife questioned if it's even chicken at all. read more

Wonderful, local establishment! They have been a staple in the LaGrange Park/Brookfield community for a long time! Excellent food at reasonable prices! Don't believe some of these bad reviews. I've been going here for ages. Never had a bad experience! read more

I was surprised seeing some of these negative reviews. I lived down the street for a couple years and ordered delivery from Golden Wok many times. Our food was always good and I never had any issues with service. I mostly stuck with standard American Chinese foods, like egg rolls, fried rice, beef broccoli, etc. Never had a bad meal. Prices are about normal. read more

we have ordered from there many times and are rarely disappointed. Tonight was the exception. I ordered pad Thai expecting it to be picture below. What I got was noodles with ketchup on them horrible. The noodles were soggy. There was not a sprig of cilantro, and any peanut flavor was overwhelmed by the tomato sauce flavor. Very disappointing. read more

Good food posion and only got half of the money back wont be back very dissatifed wont ever go back

Golden Wok - Orange Chicken - Cantonese Near Me - La Grange Park, Illinois

Golden Wok has been a staple of Brookfield/LaGrange for years. Due to COVID and my husbands and my desire to support local establishments, we decided to try Golden Wok again. Their portions are huge. Their food is very tasty. We ordered Beef egg foo yong, eggrolls and I ordered a side of chow fun noodles. Their prices are absolutely fair, delivery was lightning fast and the food came hot. One of my idiosyncrasies is that I cannot stand cold food. However, Golden woks food came still steaming from the kitchen. Golden wok also has lunch and dinner specials which are very reasonable and which I will try very shortly because we intend to order from Golden wok frequently. Golden wok is now in our weekly meal rotation. read more

Triple charged us Dry rice and attitude when picking up our order Also never received confirmation read more

What I love about this local business is they keep their prices reasonable, despite rising food costs! Ken and his family are invested in our community! I'll add some photos.. the hard part becomes choosing what I want!! read more

Always reliable for the typical American Chinese or mandarin cuisine and have been eating here since I was a wee Lad. Love the Hong Kong steak, General Tso's Chicken and veggie egg rolls. read more

Threw away the food-straight to garbage One bite and we each said that it was not worth another bite. Threw the entire order in the garbage. Zero stars. read more

We have ordered here many times over the years since we live a few blocks away.Used to look forward to it love the chicken almond ding,but it's close to 20 bucks and if the first word description is chicken there should be ample chicken not bok Choy .furthermore the almonds were burnt not just really dark brown ,burnt acrid...who does this? they put them on the top of the dish.wouldnt you notice"oh these are burnt "and not put them on the dish.I guess that is the ding part.I got dinged on my order and am a ding bat from ordering from this place.Quality has gone down.I sticking to Minghin house from now on read more

RUDE! I walked into THEIR ESTABLISHMENT and spoke to them twice. TWICE! When I said "Hello." The person behind the counter did not say anything. I say "Hello" again, the person behind the counter doesn't say anything, he just looks then he asks, "Are you here for a pickup?" There's nothing signifying I'm there to do food delivery. There's another woman standing behind the counter laughing at our exchange and I didn't think any of it was funny. Then, he repeats himself, "Are you here for a pickup?" I reply, "No, I'm waiting for you to say 'Hello' to me." Then the woman chimes in, "We don't have to say 'Hello' to you." At this point, I say "Thanks." and I leave. There was another gentlemen walking out as this ordeal was going on, he just happened to white, who was standing outside waiting for me, I guess he wanted to know what occurred. When I tell him, he says that they said "Hello" to him when he walked in. Now, I wonder why they didn't say hello to me. None of this was funny to me. This restaurant shouldn't assume that if you're black you're just coming to do food delivery. They should treat every person who comes in as a potential customer, because how would they know. It was completely unprofessional. If you don't want to have a restaurant that services the public, open a restaurant that services the public you want to deal with then. TRASH! TRASH! TRASH! This is 2022, you should be ashamed of yourself. We are all different colors, but all of our money is green and is spends the same way. You HAVE to be out of your mind if you think I'm about to give you my money after receiving treatment like that. They could have the best food ever, but I'll never find out. I'll much rather spend my money where I'm respected, I'm sure that would make the food taste so much better. read more

I want Golden Wok to succeed, especially during crazy times such as these. Veggie chow foon and veggie fried rice elicited a stop for Golden Wok. I'm not typically a Chinese food lover, and this was no exception. The food we had was decent, but for $11.95 I would expect more food for the Veggie Chow Foon. It was definitely lacking. The veggie fried rice was delicious, though! Yet, I do wish ther were more veggies and green onions. I had asked about green onions upon ordering, she assured me there were plenty. Nope, only white. I will still recommend Golden Wok, albeit even a weird experience upon paying. This is a local establishment and I will continue to support those establishments, especially now. read more

Pork/shrimp eggroll was good. Pork chow mein thin noodles was ok but DoorDash does not put ingredient list on item menu. Was ok but had mushroom, some bok choy, carrot, pea pods, broccoli and some other stuff I did not recognise. The issue was the chow mein on the bottom of the container was nasty and goopy and sticky. Would not order again. read more

I have to agree with the reviews that say Golden Wok has seen better days. Would be great if they could bring it back, because the buffet used to be very good and convenient-- the food was fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced, plus the staff was so friendly. This past year I went for lunch, found out the dining room was closed, and saw the plastic sheets all around,. Still, I ordered take out thinking that the kitchen would still be good. Oops. Like others commented, dishes that were supposed to be chicken turned out to be chicken nuggets-- breading with sticky sauce. The fried rice and soup tasted like stale cigarettes. I do hope that it is brought back to the old days with new management and reliable cooking, because if it is, I would be back. read more

we ordered as a company and the food was incorrect went to pick the food up the next day they did not want to replace the meal and when they did it was with pork after reading the correct order back to me which was shrimp. I would say no stars but yelps forces a star. read more

Did not know they closed their dining room. Takeout only. Felt like I was walking into hazmat area with plastic sheeting covering the counter. Food was bland and boring. Disappointing. read more

We got delivery from here via Yelp. We ordered beef and broccoli, the beef chow foon, bbq pork egg foo young, pan fried dumplings, curry rice sticks and the special fried rice. Hands down the beef and broccoli and chow foon were awesome. I would go back for that. The curry rice sticks were a little too sweet for my liking. My kids didn't care for their pan fried dumplings, preferring moy goy's to theirs. I liked them fine. They didn't like the dough, thought it was too thick and chewy. The chow foon was amazing. They put the fried noodles on top of the beef and broccoli mixture. I would totally come back for that. The fried rice was not good. They had diced chicken pieces that were so dry. I would not order that again. read more

Good service, the orders are hot when picking up. Stay away from their sesame chicken.... it is all bread with hardly any traces of actual chicken. Everything else is ok. I live 1 block away otherwise I would order elsewhere. read more

I recently moved back to the area and started ordering from my old favorite, Golden Wok, and it is still the same great place! I always get the shrimp toast, teriyaki beef and Mongolian beef. The other dish I always get, bit is not pictured, is Mui's Special. The prices may be a bit higher than Chinese restaurants but their food is very fresh and well made. To me, it's very worth it. read more

Simple, fast, consistent and yummy. This is my households go to place for we don't have time and need to get everyone fed.

Very disappointed they would not honor my Entertainment coupon. I understand times/businesses are struggling now but then don't offer the coupon and not honor it. I WAS a regular customer to this restaurant but after today I'm done. When I called to complain the manager would not even talk to me. He told the woman answering the phone to just tell me we don't honor those coupons anymore. When I explained she would be losing a good loyal customer she didn't seem to care and simply sorry you feel that way. read more

I don't come here too often because I've always found the food to be just average. Often I visit with a group from work or some friends. And of those visits, most have been for the lunch buffet. This visit with just one friend and we ordered from the menu and I fear that was my last visit. First we asked for an order of crab Rangoon. Typical artificial crab onion cream cheese filling but these were over fried and heavy with oil. Possibly the worst version of crab Rangoon I've ever eaten, and I've tried it hundreds of places across the US and Canada. The egg drop soup I had was fairly good. Very traditional preparation and ingredients and not too much corn starch as some restaurants can over do. The main dishes we had were BBQ pork egg foo young and General Tso's chicken. The BBQ pork egg foo young had an average flavor. It could have also been warmer. After a few bites in to the patties I discovered a large shrimp. I'm not allergic but my friend is and this could have been a tragic meal. The chicken was lightly breaded and flavorful but after taking the leftovers home it reheated poorly and was much too dry. Service was OK. While the waiter was surly because there was an upset table of four or five customers on the other side of the restaurant in the south room. The problem was over the buffet but we couldn't hear exact details. As usual, the woman at the desk where you pay the check didn't say anything but the price written on the paper slip. read more

Yum - decided to try Golden Wok again for NY eve family dinner. Take out order was spot in and the Mongolian beef with chow foon wide crispy noodles was outstanding. Veggie egg foo young was chocked full of fresh veggies and very tasty. Singapore noodles with shrimp had plenty of big fresh shrimp with just the right amount of wok char. Whole family was delighted. We've had a few average take outs from here in the past but last nights meal was awesome. read more
