We were super hungry and so wanted to have Chinese food. Why Chinese? That's what my wife wanted. OK, ok so off we went after reading YELP reviews and wanting to support local non-chain eating restaurants. You could order the food online and they will give you a very accurate time to pickup. NOTE: I was told at the pickup I could have saved $3-4 if I had ordered in person or CALLED IT IN! Great, but gee you would think that would be on their site. I ordered the General Tso chicken with extra spicy rice. If a person orders extra spicy you would expect some heat, right?? Well nada, zilch, not a bit spicy even though there were some, not much, pepper specks that you had to look for. The rice was bland but the chicken portion was quite large. I tried to mix the rice with the chicken sauce for flavor but that didn't work. My wife ordered the combo plate of pepper steak and sweet and sour chicken. She also found the food to be bland. Don't be fooled with their menu picture because it was super weird to get the chicken strips in a separate little bag, like for egg rolls, and a small serving of sauce. She didn't see the chicken till the end of the meal. She also ordered the House Fried Rice that was not complete. Vegetables were missing from this classic order. She also had the egg drop soup which she said it was the best ever. Thank God she had something she liked for the meal. We also ordered crab rangoons. The shells were super hard that you could knock on your table. There was cream cheese but not even a thought of crab. If it's called CRAB rangoon there must be SOME crab!! We both ordered the "special" which meant a soda and a egg roll for each of us. The egg rolls were very good. The food was hot and were large portions. We were so very disappointed and will NEVER go back. Why 2 stars and not 1? The place was super clean and they were very, very friendly. read more

Great food for a good price. The service is always fast and friendly. Best fried rice in the city.

The owner is absolutely nice. However, this food has gone downhill. I have been a customer here for a while now and it's your typical fast food takeout, but this is just getting out of hand. Food is now extremely mediocre. Definitely will not be returning Unfortunately chicken is fried byproduct! read more

Been going here for years!! Back to original owners to current. Prices have always been affordable. Food has been made to order and don't take long at all. Small but comfortable place for sitting. read more

All of my experiences have been very good and the $$ is fair. Use the app to reduce wait time. Enjoy your meal!

Nice and friendly family owned little restaurant. I've been here several years to pick up food. My go to dishes are: salt pepper shrimp (amazing) and the Mongolian beef (delicious). It's super simple inside and outdated, but the food is certainly worth trying. Highly recommend. read more

I got sick after eating here with food poisoning. Please check y'all's food before serving please

Can to check out some shrimp fried rice really quickly and to my surprise, it's good. Has a nice season to it. They do use the baby shrimp but not bad for $7. I'd come again for a quick hike n the wall bite. read more

New Wok Chinese Cafe - Shrimp fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

"Don't judge a book by its cover" is such a fitting quote for this place! This is a whole in the wall not appealing from the outside kind of place, but the fooood is soo soo good! This place is right down the street from our house and it serves all your Chinese comfort food fav. dishes and more. The food is delish and hits the spot when you crave for that trashy street Chinese food. It's filled with so much flavor and is saucy too, not dry and stays warm when ordering take out! Definitely recommend giving this place a shot, I know we will be returning customers for sure. read more

Great valve for the quality of food. Have been here many time and have never been disappointed! Looks can be deceiving from the outside but fear not, the food here is amazing! My favorite thing to get is the sesame chicken with lo mein instead of the rice. read more

They are Always friendly good and affordable the food is fresh and quick. We have eaten here for years and always come back even though we aren't in SB anymore. read more

I came here because they had 4.3 stars on Google, but the food wasn't good at all. I ordered the general tso chicken with lo mein and crab ragoons. The crab ragoons barely had any cream cheese filling and the general tso chicken looked like sweet n sour chicken tossed in a sauce that didn't really taste like general tso sauce. I've never had general tso chicken that looked OR taste like that; I don't know what that was but I will not be a returning customer. read more

Very cheap and good chinese food. Literally a plate is around $7 and you're getting a good amount of chicken. The rice is pretty bland but it's good enough when you mix it with the meat. I would come back again if I was running low on money and hungry. The owners are very nice and good to their customers! Very fast service too. read more

I trying to save you some money and heart ache. My shortie TIGHT RIGHT NOW read more

I came here for some takeout I got the Shrimp lo mein, with the 3 egg rolls. Everything was hot and fresh! The shrimp was absolutely amazing and the egg rolls also. Everything was so amazingly priced with a entree with side of rice for only $7. The lady who took my order was very friendly and patient. And the restaurant was very cute and cozy. It was a tad bit cold but that is to be expected for a restaurant since the back is so hot. I will be returning with friends! read more

The staff is fast and efficient with everything, if you know what you want they'll ring you up really fast, not a lot of small talk which I love! I just want to place my order and go home as quickly as possible. If you're a very talkative person you'll probably disagree with me on that one. Haha. NEW WOK RULES. read more

They don't have all the favorites like egg foo young and Char Siu ribs but it is tasty, hot and fresh.

Good food and friendly service. Large portions make a good meal. Walk-in take out orders are made quickly. Also a good place for a sit down meal. read more

I don't normally enjoy Chinese food, but this one was exceptionally good. It was recommended that I try the salt and pepper shrimp and lo mein. I also ordered cheese wontons, which were sadly questionable and overdone. When I bit into them there was barely any cheese within. Each bite I took was disappointing. That's why I am not giving them a 5-star rating. Will I return? As some of you would like to know--maybe not, I'm not sure. read more

I have been coming to this place for years and the food is always fresh and delicious. The prices are more than reasonable for the portions. Everyone is so nice here too. I would definitely recommend their orange chicken and lo mein. read more

We love New Wok, it's great food for their price and speedy service. We live nearby and it's become one of our quick go-to's.

Good food in a hole in the wall place. Nothing fancy or spectacular about the food or the ambiance. Just what you'd expect for the price you pay. The kind of place that fills your craving if you're in the area. read more

We ordered the general tso chicken to try after reading the reviews, and my gosh I was NOT DISAPPOINTED it lives up to the hype , we also ordered the fried wings and fries , this is DELICIOUS! It's nice and crispy crunchy flavored wings will definitely have me returning to this location and I highly recommend trying this place out ! I was very impressed read more

This is an update for my second visit here. Not the same experience as last time. I decided to get the chicken fried rice and add shrimp this time. The fried rice was some of the worst I've ever had. Just stopped eating it. The shrimp were not cleaned. The shrimp looked to be small cheap shrimp you buy in bag at a grocery store. The chicken was tasteless thigh meat. Decided to just throw the rest away. No leftovers tonight. I also orded my usual sweet and sour pork and Moo-goo gai pan. It was just as superb as the last time I had it. I don't know what happened with the fried rice. Not sure I'll ever come back here after that. read more

I have not been to this place in a while. But, the last time I went there I noticed that they had forgotten one of their small cleaning brushes in our food. It was gross. Keep your cleaning brushes to yo'selves. We do not want to eat that for dinner. read more

I don't order too many dishes I stick to my tofu with vegetables, sweet and sour chicken and their house special wonton soup. Always good and consistent and the family that owns it is super nice. read more

The food was cold, not matching expectations, and really nothing of note. The real benefit is the quick drive through, which we saw a number of cars use. read more

I have to have A25 once a week, extra curry sauce. I've had a lot of things on their menu but this is my ultimate favorite.

Visited here during lunch hour on a work day. I opted to go through the drive thru since the inside looked super packed. The menu you as you drive up is large, clear and easy to follow. A plus, at least for me! Drive-thru time from ordering to receiving my food was about 15 mins. Got back to work and pop the top on the styrofoam plate and first thing I notice is they give you great portions for the amount you spend. I ordered the Orange chicken. Chicken was tasty and the flavor was on point. I couldn't complain about anything. It was cheap Chinese that actually taste similar to higher end Chinese restaurants. I may have found my new Chinese go-to spot when I'm at work and I crave Chinese food! read more

The service leaves much to be desired. I've been 3 times , ordered various items, and each time, it gets worse. The employees aren't friendly. The food is barely tolerable, undercooked, and not an ounce of season of any type. Avoid this place. read more

Not sure how to rate but this place is essentially Timmy Chans of spring branch. The food quality was pretty much the same level. Maybe this place is a little cheaper? 5.99 for a meal is cheap either way. Don't fall for the combo deal, it's just an (nasty)egg roll that bumps your meal price considerably. It did feel like the food was made to order because the general tso I got was surprisingly still crispy, however, the chicken tasted overcooked or refried resulting in the meat being chewy and dry. The egg roll I got was also burnt. Rice had very little flavor. Overall, I wasn't impressed and don't think I'll be back. read more

We thought it was all delicious. Saved your take out menu we will be back. We fed 4 people with 3 meals. The Mongolian Beef was perfect. My friends love the house fried rice. Wish the meals excluded soup or the egg rolls. I did get both as extras they were delicious read more

Restaurant has been here for quite a while. It seem that they have new owners / people who service the front the past couple months. Chinese food is typical and not bad. Portions are huge, prices are pretty much cheap. People are nice n friendly, restaurant is not the cleanest but has some improvements read more

You know how the average middle class "white person" feels on Sunday? Depressed, because Chick-fil-a is closed. Well, we finally understand you because that's how our poor little ghetto hearts feel on Sunday too, the only day New Wok is closed. As a loyal patron of Timmy Chan's, it takes a lot to impress me in terms of value for the money. After all, when you can get 4 pieces of chicken, a scoop of rice or fries, and a biscuit for $3 after tax, what can really make you think, "Wow, this is cheap!" New Wok is that place. If you are a fan of sit down dinner quality "Americanized" Chinese food, then there is no better value in town. I'm talking dishes like Happy Family and Mongolian Beef for less than $6 and even after 6pm. Adding an egg roll and a can of soda is about a dollar. Even the side items are fairly priced, which by the way, the fried biscuits come with sweet coconut milk which is to die for. Surprisingly, the food quality is high based on my standards. It never makes me feel sick or too full. It is not overtly seasoned or drowning in sauce. Ingredient quality is above average, for example the shrimp aren't those tiny ones cheap places use and the chicken is never sinewy or greasy. I'd compare it to Hu's Garden or even Feng Ling if they ran their lunch prices all day. As for the restaurant itself, it is a hole in the wall. To go is the heart of their business because it can only sit between 25 people at most. Yet the place is clean enough, the tables aren't ever sticky, the bathrooms are old but not disgusting, and the kitchen is nicer than you'd think. There's an American flag as soon as you walk in, which is something you'd never find in midtown at whatever trendy place you think is better than this. Both me and my "tag team partner" love this place. Everything on the menu is good and won't ever break the bank. You can actually have a conversation if you eat there because it's so chill. After 9:15 pm you can only really do to go, but if you need somewhere to eat it you can always drive or bus down to the Target by Memorial City Mall and eat at their "food court" (they don't close til 11l Please, never change New Wok! Don't change your prices, don't take down your American flag, and keep showing the world how amazing "fake" Chinese food is forever...becauseee..... New Wok Rocks New Wok Rocks New Wok Rocks New Wok Rocks and all y'all gourmet hipsters who don't agree are booty! read more
