Great place for gatherings or big groups! You must try their Shimp in Lobster Sauce! Service was great! read more

Hot Wok Restaurant - You could say my food was good.... "plate-licking" good. I promise I didn't actually lick the plate ;) - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This was my first visit to get some stirfry and a bite to eat in a hurry. OMG. I will definitely keep this on my list of favs. The menu was extensive but not complicated - and had lots of my favorites at very reasonable prices. I ordered the fresh spring rolls and some curry chicken, no rice. The spring rolls were super fresh and delicious, and they didn't skimp on the pork and other goodies inside. The curry chicken was awesome - and the portions were large. The service was super fast, and several times we were asked how our meal was and how we were doing. Very unusual for a "fast food" type place. They were efficient, polite, and interested in what we had to say! All in all, very impressed. It may not look like much - but this little place is a gem! read more

We usually go their for lunch or dinner but NEVER AGAIN. My husband stopped the other night for take- out and we ate as soon as he got home. Within 20 min we were both very sick He had made a comment to the waitress about how the food had changed ex. Portion sizes, taste, even the breaded green beans that used to be long big &. crispy and turned out to be soggy and little nibblets She informed us that it had just recently changed owners They" were" our favorite place to eat but not anymore When you have something that is great and and your very busy Don't change things "your loss ". Word of mouth spreads quickly read more

Very impressed with this place. Best place I have been to in Tucson so far. Its cool to be able to order at the counter and be served food that tastes great, has good portions and actually has vegetarian options (i.e. tofu). I have had thr honey shrimp and sautee lemongrass tofu, both of which were delicious and left me very satisfied. read more

I use to love this place when it first opened. It was amazing. Now I regret coming here Everytime. Today I ordered a Malaysian Chicken and a chowfun beef and a side of spring rolls with 2 waters. Waiter/hostess came back with fried egg rolls and I told him "Sorry I ordered spring rolls" so he takes it back and comes back with spring rolls and says " they said you have to pay an additional 2 dollars be because it's more for spring rolls". I think it's absurd that I have to pay for there mistake. I'm not worried about 2 dollars I'm frustrated that they would upcharge me for their own mistake. The water also tastes terrible, like they haven't changed their filter. Sucks that a favorite place turned into never coming back. read more

I was overwhelmed by their menu plastered on the wall. Holy Moly do they have a lot to offer! Appetizers, Noodles, Soups, Poultry, Beef..etc. I was hoping one of the employees saw me struggling to choose an item so I can get a suggestion but no one came to my rescue. Oh well... I went with Chicken Teriyaki and Pad Thai. The chicken was a big portion, but it was mostly dark meat which made it scary for my 5 year old to try :( It was alright though.? Then, when they gave me my Pad Thai...only then, they tell me that it's spicy and shouldn't share with my small children. Huh?! I wish she would have told me this while I was ordering. It was good though! FYI: It wasn't spicy! Mmm..I'm not so sure about this place yet. I think, I'll come back to give them another try... read more

There's only 1 dish I know for sure that is always consistent and delicious and it's the sesame chicken. The chicken are in perfect bite size pieces, perfectly glazed, and crispy with every bite. The portions are great and decent for a $5 plate. I have tried other dishes like the vermicelli noodles with grilled pork and fish sauce, however it was very bland. I've also had the grilled pork with rice and the pork was a bit dried on a few occasions. Therefore, I stick with the sesame chicken every time. read more

Lots of food for the cost. I've tried a lot of the dishes and every single one has been great. I drive 20 minutes just to eat here.

FAST Review: Food: (5/5) - What I like is the variety and size of the portions. Could come here every day for a month straight and never get the same thing twice. Recommend the Pad Thai and Seared Beef. Ambiance: (3/5) - Well, it's in a little strip mall off Golf Links. They are fairly clean. Even coming with 6-7 people can usually find a table large enough, even during the lunch rush. Service: (5/5) - They are fast. Unless you get stuck behind someone with a take-out order for 10 (which apparently happens to me often), you will get you food shortly after filling your drink cup and sitting down. Total Impression: 5 - Come here often for lunch. You (usually) can't beat the speed of service and the portions are more than enough for a big appetite. If you are looking for lots of taste with more variety than a Panda Express (and just as fast), then go here. read more

I've been coming to Hot Wok since it first opened, and have never been disappointed. It's good both in the restaurant and to-go. You order at the counter like a Pei Wei, but the prices are a lot lower. I usually get the pad thai. It's not the amazing version you'd find at Char's or Sa-ing. But it's pretty good, it comes with pork and shrimp, and it's cheaper than any of the other pad thai in town. And for a $7 dish, the shrimp is surprisingly bountiful and well-prepared. read more

This place is kind of a lunch sorta place. We ordered orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, pan fried noodle and fried calamari thinking it will feed 5 hungry people to the fullest and still have some leftovers for later. But boy we were wrong! The orange chicken came in a small box, really not that tasteful. Teriyaki chicken only had at least 10 small pieces on them on a bed of veggies (i asked them to take out the rice since we have some at home and so this is what we get) pan fried noodles is so hard i could barely get it with my chopsticks and it's bland! The fried calamari though is alright but the sauce it came with is so tangy, but i managed to finished it all. The place is clean and service is fast, that i'll give to them, but other than that i will go somewhere else if i wanted another big order. The prices are reasonable just like any other chinese fast food places. read more

Great price big potions and way better then panda.

Second time I've gone here (I guess I didn't learn the first time)..they really do suck bad my throat is burning from the gas or whatever they cook with!!..never again!! read more

Hot Wok Restaurant - Sucks here - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

So glad this place opened because it is close. Food is fantastic and inexpensive. Service is super fast and always polite and responsive. Favorite dishes are the black pepper chicken and the sesame chicken. Highly recommended. read more

Absolutely Unacceptable, gray rubbery chicken that had a taste of freezer burn or maybe it was a week old. In desperate need of seasoning. Waste of $10 for lunch read more

The setting is interesting and unique. The food is okay, not great but good, with decent variety. But the service is so lackadaisical as to be almost non-existent. The only grown ups here seem to be the customers, with the staff seemingly comprised solely of unsupervised teenagers. They're not bad kids, but they haven't the faintest clue about customer service. And no one has taught them. And nobody is there to check on them. If this restaurant fails, they will have deserved it for not paying attention to the most important ingredients, the PEOPLE. And that includes both the customers they ignore, and the poor kids they inflict upon them. read more

Pretty good noodle dishes. I had the combo chow fun and it was tasty. The flat noodles are very tasty and there was a lot of meat. I also got the shrimp fried noodles, the noodles are pan fried and then sauce, veggies, and shrimp is poured over top. While it was good, it could have had a little more flavor in the sauce. They were very fast and my order was ready in a few minutes. read more

The first 2 times that I ate here I had the Pad Thai with tofu. The first time my stomach got kind of upset. Figured it was a fluke so I ordered it again about a month later, same things :( I'm going to give them one more try but this time I'm going to order Curry with vegetables. If I get a stomach ache again, that is 3 strikes and I won't eat here anymore. Ordering food right now. read more

Their prices are great, and portions are large! Love the Sautéed Lemongrass Shrimp Vermicilli, Hot Wok Ribs, and the Pho Combo Soup! Miss their Mongolian Hot Wings, but that won't stop me from coming there! read more

I could not resist after reading all the positive reviews! I had to head to Hot Wok with my cousin to get quick dinner. It's right in our neighborhood, so it was 5 minutes & we were walking through their doors on a cold drizzly night last week. I ordered the prime rib, my husband ordered the Mongolian beef ... we also ordered Pho Soup and two orders of egg rolls, a few other sides. The ordering was easy! They have a huge menu board complete with pictures, and the counter help was very helpful and friendly -- complete with a beautiful smile. Our food was ready super quick ... no need to call ahead or ask for reservations! We drove home and prepared to eat awesomely! The egg rolls were wonderful! The were made just right! The Pho soup was comforting and satisfying. The meals are super fresh & the veggies are crisp with snap and sparkle! My husbands Mongolian Beef was perfection; My cousin loved her chicken. The rice was cooked just right ... and the Prime Rib was ... Good ... but lets remember, Prime Rib is best just off the grill and eaten as a steak. Next time, I'll definitely order the sesame chicken with a side of crab puffs. I give the Hot Wok a five stars ... and look forward to my next visit very soon!! They're almost as good as 'The Bowl' in my fast food play book! When driving to the Hot Wok, if you're driving westbound from Pantano, the little strip mall will be on your right, with a turn in to their parking lot. read more

We really need more GOOD Asian places on the Eastside. This place ain't one of them. Service sucked. The lady at the counter was grumpy and answered my question regarding if the Sesame Chicken was spicy with reluctant, barely concealed hostility. I went ahead and ordered Sesame Chicken, which came to almost $7.00 with tax. Then I proceeded to sit and wait for my order. And wait. And wait. I watched everyone who came in after I did get served. I was just getting ready to stand up and inquire what the issue was, when another server, a bit more friendly, noted that my order had been sitting, bagged up, on their back counter. She apologized, barely, and handed me my order. Sesame chicken, pretty tasteless. Small portion and comes with white rice. And was definitely not hot. Impressed? Not much. read more

This place was close by and I really didn't feel like cooking. Anyway, we ordered the lemon grass noodle sauté, sweet and sour chicken, and the vegetable egg rolls. I do not think it's worth going into detail. One word sums it up. Bland. read more

Firstly, the place is a dump. There isn't a single decorative picture on the walls and the doors are filthy with old handprints. The staff was hanging around chatting when I arrived, and served me pretty reluctantly. And they have Jesus music playing, which frankly ruins my appetite. The spring rolls came out fast but the preoccupied staff didn't grab them for a while. They were ok, but the peanut sauce is cold rather than hot which is off putting. Large, but stuffed mostly with noodles. Also got the pad Thai which is passable, but more on par with a Pei Wei than a good local place. There is a definite overtone of something, which may be cleanser; first thing that hits your nose when you walk in rather than food aromas. read more

I've read two reviews that this restaurant is better than my favorite Chinese restaurant (Hot Fusion)....so I finally got around to trying it. Is it better than Panda Express? Yes. However, that's like saying Five Guys is better than McDonald's. I ordered the curry with vegetables and tofu. My husband ordered Kung Pao Chicken and asked for extra extra spicy. Neither dish had much flavor, which was especially disappointing when the chicken was supposed to be spicy. The curry had three pieces of broccoli, and the rest was potato and carrot. Sorry, not what I consider a vegetable dish. The tofu was ok, but again was bland and I could barely taste the curry. Authentic Chinese? No way. Better than fast food? Absolutely. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but would take it over most drive-thrus. read more

Got my online order wrong(even after I called to confirm everything) so i was unable to eat my food. The man on the phone tried to lie about it and refused to refund me. Horrible service and overpriced for the quality of food. read more

I eat here at least once a week. I've only been disappointed once when my veggies were overcooked. Aside from that their food is delicious. Plus they will use a white sauce if you ask for it if you don't want soy sauce used in your dish. Their spring rolls are really good too. read more

Good place for lunch. Great egg rolls and hot mustard. Friendly and fast service. Visit here often, usually when boys are getting their hair cut next door at Amy's (Great cuts for good price). read more

This was my first time going to Hot Wok. It was so much better than I expected. You walk into what looks like a fast food ordering area, with pictures & written descriptions of menus items, order, pay & sit down at what looks like a sit down restaurant area. Our food came out steaming hot & fresh within less than 5 minutes (2 appetizers & 2 meals). Portions were huge and the food was fabulous. Will definitely be one of my "go to" places in Tucson. read more

This place is around the corner from my sister-in-law's place and last time we visited, we tried it & loved it! I was born and raised in Taiwan and I think that their dishes are awesome! They have a HUGE menu and are very reasonably priced. Will always stop there every time we visit :) read more

Have been eating here for 5 years now dine in and take out- still love it! Crispy green beans, lemongrass saute, curry vegetables or chicken, orange chicken... just some of our faves. Consistently good, generous portions! read more

The service was very prompt and the meal Szechuan Beef was certainly among the best tasting that I've had in quite sometime. I also loved the decor and very amazed that such a hidden little place could be so worthwhile. Amazing!!! I will recommend this place to all my friends and family. Five stars hands down. read more

This place is actually really nice to go when you want good food really fast. It is a good Chinese reataurant and you get your food in ten minutes or less. My favorite dish is the sesame shrimp it is crunchy, filling, and good a savory sauce that goes well mixed with soy sauce in the rice. The food is not perfect, nor is it really meant to be (imagine a better, fresher version of Panda Express, with more varitey). Service is very so so. They are efficient, but very brisk and gruff. Do not expect a smiling staff when you walk in, but you get your food fast. It works, and works well. When I want to bring Chinese home after work, this place is perfect because you don't have to be false happy, you get your decent food at a fast pace and at a good price. read more

Excellent food - great people working here - friendly & helpful. Combination fried rice was tasty - chicken, beef, & shrimp. Love that they play KLOVE radio here, too! read more

It's not a regular go to, but they are fast and you do get a lot of food. I guess my only disappointment is when I asked for no cilantro my last dish was covered in it. Cilantro is a soap herb read more

We ordered delivery and part of that order was 2 orders of vegetable fried rice. They were both burnt. I called to ask if I could get credit for them and they said when they make it Vietnamese style, they burn it. I said I've ordered this many times and it's never come burnt. I will not order from them again. I also explained that I had it delivered because I was not able to get out. They said to bring it back and they will remake it. I just explained why I had it delivered. read more

We were looking for a new spot for Asian food and this was AMAZING. Not only was it sooo dang good, but you get a crazy amount of food for a very inexpensive amount. We were sooo impressed! definitely making this our new spot. read more

Always my go to restaurant for Chinese. Quick, cheap, and great food. Can't ask for much more.

They stopped making their wings :(( Such a sad day when I found out! That was pretty much the main reason I came here.. The wings were amazing. Other than that, everything is decently priced and good portions. The quality of the food isn't top notch. This is moreso a place to go when you want Asian food, but can't afford it so you'll settle for cheap mediocre Asian food. Lol. Bring the wings back! Ooh. And their spring rolls are good, if they have them and they're fresh ^.^ read more

The pros and cons of Hot Wok Restaurant... Prompt service and the food was ready extraordinarily quick. The food tasted great and the portion was more than adequate for what I paid. One item I enjoyed immensely was the Crispy Green Beans which were actually crispy! The issue I've run into when ordering these at other places has been the batter just falling off the green bean or the beans being soggy or mushy. Its hard to mess up the Beef and Broccoli, but some restaurants do manage it. Glad to say these guys seem to have their basics down. The only downside that comes to mind, sadly, is the presentation of the reataurant. It could use a nice cleaning and an uplift in their decor. Beyond that, if you find yourselves in the neighborhood of the Hot Wok Restaurant, I strongly suggest you stop by! 5 Stars! read more

Hot Wok is reliable, quick, easy, cheap and generally pretty tasty. It def is not the best Chinese or East Asian restaurant in town, but if you come home from work tired and you just don't feel like cooking, there's always your friendly neighborhood Hot Wok. I've bought from these dudes more times than I can count and will buy from them many times morel read more
