Decently priced Chinese in the airport food court. Don't come expecting anything authentic, but it is filling and fast. I got the orange chicken, spicy tofu and noodles. The noodles were good texture (chewy, but not overly oily). The orange was a bit too sweet for my tastes but the texture was solid. The tofu was much better than I expected, but it was not spicy. A solid spot for food in this terminal read more

I needed something fast because I just arrived and wanted to get home but I don't think I'll ever get something from here again. The fried rice was clumpy, the orange chicken was mostly all breading and the chicken with cucumbers had barely any chicken. Plus I had a slight stomach ache after eating. I know it's quick airport food but there's other fast food I'll eat next time. read more

This is located at Jazz Bar C Food Court in Terminal 1 C Gates. Line moved quickly. Got a 2 entree combo. I would have gotten 1 entree but was told that I'd pay the same for 2 entrees. Food did not have much flavor. Lo mein was nearly bland and did not have much veggies. The orange chicken was alright. The honey garlic chicken was more on the sour side. read more

You could do better Nothing is vegetarian because even the tofu has chicken broth Very disappointing and kind of immoral if you offer a tofu dish and don't clearly mark it as not vegan or not vegetarian read more

Pepper chicken without chicken. Nothing but celery, save your money and loose weight by not eating here. read more

Manchu Wok - Pepper chicken without the chicken, nothing but cellary. This place is trash. - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Our expectations were pretty low considering all airport food is usually quite below average. Maybe we just came at the perfect time but the chicken was crispy and very fresh. We enjoyed all of our 3 choices, honey garlic, orange and pepper chicken. The noodles were fairly average but everything was fresh and pretty flavorful read more

Manchu Wok - Honey garlic chicken, orange chicken and pepper chicken - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Facts: 1, They dont do meat a la carte, so youre forced to get a full meal (employee said "its an airport thing".) 2, you can count on maybe both hands how many pieces of meat a serving has. Not worth it. Please see photos. 3, flavor: mediocre. Not HORRIBLE, but I wouldnt eat it again if it were free. Service: no complaints. Opinion: What kind of food-court style chinese-american joint doesnt have "bourbon chicken." read more

I was skeptical to try this place located in the food court. It was either this or go with one of the other fast food options. In line I waited an extra 5 minutes for spicy tofu that tasted so bland(seemed like they skipped the seasoning step altogether). The orange chicken tasted like rubber and the rice was stuck together. The food was not edible! I wholeheartedly understand that you should lower your expectations for food in the airport but if you are paying $17 for two entrees and a drink, then you shouldn't feel sick eating it afterwards. Try the other places. read more

Manchu Wok - the inside of a restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

A really nice alternative at the airport to pizza or burgers. I ordered the orange chicken and I was surprised by the pleasant orange taste and the quality of chicken. The fried rice was good, not great. Overall, I would recommend. The cost was $18 (including $3.99 bottle of water!) and it felt steep, but the portions are large. There was enough for me and my wife to eat as much as we wanted with some leftover. read more

Ugh, fell into the trap again. I used to like Manchu Wok but their quality has dropped significantly over the years. I stopped here for convenience while rushing and did not finish the food. read more

Manchu Wok - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

A few years ago, I left a critical review of the Chinese food spot at Hobby airport. I stand by that review but this place takes the cake. I've been to this location before. Get only their orange chicken and rice/noodles and you can count on a two star experience. This week, I was in a crunch and it was Manchu Wok or go hungry. But surprise, they were out of Orange Chicken. Not like they were making more, but there was a sign informing customers Orange did not exist. Out of hunger, I went for Kung Pao Chicken and Black Pepper Chicken. Both were beyond horrible. Enormous chunks of fatty boney chicken. More celery than chicken. No noticible difference between either item. Most of it ended up in the trash and that's not an avenue I ever like to pursue. Zero stars (which averaged with the two star Orange Chicken, gives us a total of one star). Given the choice between this place and a bag of Hudson News Cheese Ritz Bitz, pick the latter. read more

Manchu Wok - It's a case of Manchu Wok v. Edibility at the Concourse C food court. - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Manchu Wok was ok, it's not Panda Express, their Orange Chicken was tasty, their Black Bean Chicken Pepper was too salty and too much celery. Vegetable egg rolls was dry and cold. The rest of their items looked like it has been sitting for a long time, not very appealing. read more

Good enough for quick food at the airport. My husband got this right before we boarded our flight. They got it ready pretty quickly. It was orange chicken, and it was ok. $11 for food and a side isn't horrible, I guess. Tax is really high here. I don't know if it's airport tax or just Illinois tax. read more

Worst Chinese food ever. Orange chicken is vinegar chicken. Green beans with beef is made with frozen green beans and grizzled morsels of beef. read more

Horrible Chinese fast food that is only substantiated by desperate, hungry travelers moving through ORD - and I ate all of it in 8 minutes before my flight was boarding. I spent the next 3 hours regretting it. Luckily, I didn't get sick. The line moved fastest compared to the other options in the food court. They have some options, but the pace of the line doesn't really give you a lot of time to decide. read more

This place is fast and pretty good prices for an airport. Food is okay. I had the pick 3 items (only charged me for pick 2). I chose Kung pow chicken. Orange chicken, green beans with beef as well as I chose fried rice (choice of Fred rice or noodles). In addition I got an order of crab Rangoon which he gave me but did not charge me for as well - you get what you pay for as they were very dry and not real hot. Plus a bottle of water for $3.49 plus 5 cent water bottle tax. I received extra entree and crab Rangoon free. read more

Not gonna lie and try to sugarcoat this one... This place is one star worthy, BUUUUT shout out to the fellow Filipinos holding it down and keeping the line running like a well oiled machine. My goodness the service is fast. You can speed thru and get food faster than any fast food spot in the terminal. So if you're in a hurry, roll thru and let the aunties take care of you. Food Quality? Meh. Taste? Meh. Edible? YES. I have to admit I have quite an iron stomach so this can vary from person to person. What'd I eat? 2 item combo that ran me just under $10 as I recall. I think I can leave it at that and leave it to the other reviews to bash on this one. We got some hardcore savages on Yelp. 'Til next time. 45/365 read more

Manchu Wok - 2 item combo. Do half rice & half noodles for more variety! - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Happy to see that they have vegetarian options. I ordered their spicy tofu with a side of noodles and mixed veggies. The portion was small. Panda express portions are bigger than here. I don't think ill be coming back again. read more

AWFUL!!!!! I really mean awful. First of all food was bad. Chicken was rubbery! Noodles bland. Dumplings were just eh. BUT why I'm really writing this review is because I FOUND HAIR IN MY FOOD. Disgusting. I understand this is airport food BUT no food you pay for should have HAIR in it. Another reason why this place was awful was because the employee rushed me when ordering my food and deciding what food I wanted!! Although there was ONE employee at checkout who was kind. They just wanted to get me out of there with literally MAYBE one person on line. If you was a bad experience then you would like it here if you want and good one go anywhere else's. I said 1 as it should be. read more

Airport food with all the negative connotations that come with that term. Fried rice is barely fried and has nothing in it - no carrots, pork, fried egg, etc. Orange chicken really should be called vinegar chicken, plus the sauce was over reduced, sticky and bland. Service could charitably be called inattentive. I get it. You're hungry and haven't had Chinese takeout in a while. Please trust me when I say you're better off waiting just a little longer and avoiding this place. read more

Sadly, this is the lest flavorful Chinese food I've ever had and I've had plenty. Try another vendor in this food court. read more

Too bad to finish. Not sure what this is but it isn't Chinese it's hardly food. Disgusted that I'm even full off of what I did eat. Also I paid $18 for orange chicken, veggies, noodles, and a bottle of sprite. Nope read more

This is the most disgusting Chinese food I've ever eaten. It was definitely old food that was warmed up and scooped on a plate. NEVER EAT at MANCHU WOK. read more

1st time at ORD and the food options are lousy...few choices and not enough seating. Out of hunger and exasperation I settled on lousy chinese only because it had the longest line of the 7 or so places in the food court. The weird thing is the meal started out not bad, but the more I ate of it the grosser it got. Only 1/3 of my "orange chicken" breaded and sauced nuggets had any chicken in them, the fried rice had a burned taste to it, the veggies were ok I guess. Not as awful as I expected but I was totally mislead by the popularity of it. read more

Manchu Wok - Orange chicken veggies fried rice..the more you eat the worst it tastes as your hunger becomes satiated - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Service was quick. But, food was the most bland/generic Chinese food i have had in a long time. Had Orange Chkn, Kung Pao ... tried to spice it up, but ...Just calories. Try somewhere else. read more

Some of the worst airport food I've ever had, and that's saying something. Couldn't even finish my meal despite being super hungry after traveling. read more

Very disappointed with this restaurant. Hardly any selection unless you like orange chicken and small portions of anything else. Did not taste good. We got a 3 item meal and we're starving after. Drink was all ice, expensive and no refill. Many other better selections. read more

Pretty bad...even the portions suck The orange chicken was just ok at best. Everything else was not good. Probably the worst wok (fake chinese) place ive ever had. Stick with panda.... read more

I, too, wanted vegetables instead of rice, and was told that vegetables would count as one entree. Not a huge problem for me, so I went ahead and ordered. The vegetables were okay, but as I remarked to my daughter, "They left the kung pao out of the chicken." No peppers, not a single peanut. The brown sauce had no flavor. Her pizza from the same food court was also terrible, so we trashed them both, wasting $26. read more

If this wasn't at the airport it would definitely be bankrupt by now. The eggplant was super soggy- falling apart, but not in a good way. Orange chicken was fairly fatty- pretty hard to mess up. read more

Just finished eating (well not really...too bad to finish). Smelled good and there was a long line....so hence my choice. I know I know....it's only quick airport food, BUT....this was not good food at all. Tasted like food you would get at an elementary school cafeteria. Noodles were soggy with little to no seasoning, orange chicken was at least edible taste-wise, but also was too soggy. Beef and green beans was just awful. AWFUL. Simple food which could definitely taste a lot better with some effort. Constructive criticism I hope. Many other places to eat at O'Hare.... read more

**3.5 stars for MW** After a week long trip in Chicago, I was tired of American food. I wanted some comfort food...yes, I missed rice and noodles. :) I shared the 3 choice combo with my family ($8.50+ tax). The price was very reasonable for airport food and they give you so much. I got the fried rice, chow mein, mushroom chicken, orange chicken and broccoli beef. The noodles and orange chicken were my favorite! Everything else was good but a little salty as expected. Overall, Manchu is a good place for quick Chinese food. :) I think it was better than Panda! read more

Same or crusty Chinese fast food at ohare. If I wasn't so hungry and stressed for time I would consider somewhere else. But the food is always turned over so it's hot. read more

one bite and had to throw away. grey bits in the rice. smelled horrible. I can't believe this place hasn't been shut down yet. absolutely disgusting and unacceptable food. read more

I don't give many one stars, but I want to put this out there for travelers to know that I threw the ENTIRE meal away after 2 small bites. Ordered a 2-Combo meal with 1/2 rice and 1/2 noodles with dumplings and beef with celery. I added an egg roll on because it looked pretty good amidst all the other food! The rice - No flavor and DRY DRY DRY The noodles - No flavor and .... SOUR The egg roll - started off not bad.... then it became sour Beef with celery - overly peppered and otherwise bland Overall: not worth the money read more

This was the worst-tasting 'chinese' food I think I've ever had. The noodles were absolutely tasteless - and the entrees I selected were as bland as cardboard. Don't be fooled by appearance - it looks good - but it isn't. The angry 'barkers' behind the glass are like nails on chalkboard - I told one of them that "We are not cattle, lady" There are much better options in the food court. read more

Hard to have bad Chinese food but this place found away. Awful service overpriced and just flat out pathetic.

ord food court...going with the crowd and picking manchu with the longest line...people ordering orange chicken...seems popular..doing same and doubling up on just orange chicken for the 2-item meal with fried rice $11.24 total with soda...taking the container to an empty table inside the food court...fried rice was no good...odd unfamiliar smell...probably better off getting just plain white rice if available...orange chicken was battered thick, hard and dry...sauce tasted like it should, but was super thick and gummy... read more

Manchu Wok - 2 item plus soda $11.24... - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I don't usually give 1 stars, but this location kinda deserved it. It made me stomach sick. AS it is in an airport, it did not help that I jumped on a plane afterwards. By the time I got to my destination, I was not happy. This added to the lowered score. I got the orange chicken and mix veggie 2 part meal. The place was decent to sit and eat since it was a mini airport food court. If you're passing through, be a bit careful. read more

I think this will make my second trip here, and both have been bad. Will try to make this short: Pro: I really can't think of one Con: portions are lousy, got kung pao chicken and got more peppers and vegetables than chicken. It's a CHICKEN dish! Expensive (well yeah, its the airport...) Fried rice is minimally like veg fried rice Diet Coke was not mixed properly, less syrup more seltzer water - cutting corners for expensive prices Personnel seems more interested in talking with each other than serving the customers. The cashier lady (the same one from last time) seems very indifferent on what's going on. I know, its airport food, but c'mon, even the Germans at McDonald's in Munich seem to have a bit more enthusiasm and pride in their work in food service. This one Belgian young lady helped me nice in Antwerp McDonald's. Will never come here again...will use my money to buy A half torta at Bayless' place in B concourse. read more
