Visiting from out of town, so we checked Yelp for nearby Chinese. Good value for money; the 4 of us has plenty to eat for less than $40, including tip. My Ma Po Tofu wasn't as spicy as I normally get, but it was nice to be able to order a half portion. Normally at home I get two meals from one dish. read more

Kung pao chicken here was good... but not the best I've ever had. The meat was tender. There were too many peanuts, and the peanuts tasted a little old, and had a weird aftertaste. The sauce was really tasty though, and I could eat all my rice just drenched in the sauce. The hot and sour soup tasted a little like egg drop soup with a little soy sauce for color. There was neither hot nor sour in it. I'll come back again, since their kung pao flavor is pretty decent, and I'll try their much acclaimed woo won ton soup. read more

Got their lunch special: 3 Delights, which is beef, shrimp, and pork with brocolli, snow peas, and mushrooms. The lunch also came with fried rice/rice rice and I chose the hot and sour soup. Overall - the lunch was ok. Nothing spectacular but it was not bad. One comment I did make to them was that my broccoli was very bitter, to the point that I could not eat at least half of the broccoli from the dish. I told the waitress and she said it might have been undercooked and walked away. uhh..ok. thanks for your great understanding. read more

Love this place. Great portions and the nicest staff. Every time I have gone they've been quick and friendly. The beef chow fun is my go-to. Highly recommend. read more

Chicken is cut up really small, orange chicken has an odd flavor which I assume comes from the oranges. The sauce that comes with the orange chicken is super salty. Good amount of food. Sweet and sour sauce is average. read more

Bad attitude, poor service! Doesn't seem like the person answering the phone is concerned about business or customers!

I'm glad they changed the name to nu wok so We know that it changed ownership . but We still gave it a try . The service was awful the man was so rude and we ordered variety of dish's he laughed at us (and I quote ) YOUR GOING TO EAT ALL THAT) how rude it was 3 of us and we like getting a variety . Who's he to say anything to us . Isn't it Bette for his business . What a Moran . The food has really changed since they sold it . We left most of it and will NOT be returning . Side bar: we had been coming to the great wok for 18 years and the service and food was amazing .. too bad we lost a good Chinese place to eat . read more

I ordered orange peel beef and string beans and both were great. I noticed that the orange peel beef had a great smokey/sweet flavor without a strong hand of fish sauce. Many Chinese restaurants put too much fish sauce in their recipes but the orange peel beef here is perfect, I could not taste the fish sauce, which I prefer. I certainly will be going back here and it is my hope they don't change chefs or recipes. read more

I've been coming here for over 35 years and have never been disappointed. I love the mu shoo chicken the best. If you haven't had it, it is like a Chines burrito only filled with chines food, you make it yourself. I often get the lunch special and there is enough food to have leftovers. Which makes for a fine treat later. Mu shoo is not on the lunch menu anymore but they'll let you order a 1/2 order of it from the dinner menu. read more

Nu Great Wok - "The Last Supper with Tupperware." Czappa - Chinese Near Me - Burbank, California

Ordered take out and for 4 of us and it was really good and fresh, it had been awhile and it was not disappointing.

I'm a regular here because it's convenient. But also, the food isn't bad. It won't blow you away, but it'll do the job. There aren't many good Chinese restaurants in Burbank, so you'll have a hard time finding anything better, to be honest. I recommend the Barbecue Park Fried Rice and the Chicken Egg Foo Young. One complaint: Why did they change their name to "Nu" Great Wok? It's just silly. Was it because of their remodel? Perhaps. Dear Great Wok owners: You don't need the "Nu." Nu isn't even a word, neither in English or Chinese. It's completely unnecessary. read more

Sometimes it's best not to set you expectations too high... I recently was back in Burbank and looking for somewhere new to get take out. What better take-out than Chinese food, and after seeing their menu with many Sichuan items I knew I had to add them to my list. We ordered a bunch of different things like fried rice to spicy wantons and spicy eggplant along with my favorite egg foo young. Unfortunately the quality was not up to my standards for most everything we ordered. Wantons were overcooked and bland, egg foo young dry, fried rice bland and dry. As long as I covered everything in copious amounts of sauce the food was finally edible but not really enjoyable, especially for the prices. Next time I need good Chinese food in Burbank, I'll just keep looking, Aloha read more

Love this Restaurant, so nice and clean.. They have everything one could want on their menu.. The food taste awesome.. Always enjoyed this restaurant since I first came to Burbank many yrs ago.. The owners and staff are very helpful and care about their customers.. My family and I went there a few days back, by accident left some important papers there.. The owner saw the papers and noticed the address and made a special trip to drop it off at my place.. As I said before, they care about their customers.. Oct 1st 2017... Best Restaurant Ever!!!! read more

This has become my favorite Chinese food lunch spot in the area. They have great lunch specials at reasonable prices. My favorites are the pork with green beans, kung pao chicken, almond chicken, broccoli beef.... and on and on and on. The choices of tasty lunch options are endless. The staff is super friendly. I come here at least once a week, sometimes twice. read more

Worst service ever !!!!!!! Me & my husband loved going here but recently we have literally left each time right after ordering because the lady is SO RUDE. The owner really needs to know how this lady is treating customers bad for business. Don't know her name but I'm sure if you stop by you will know exactly who I am talking about. read more

The food was good. I ordered over the phone and it was ready when I got there. Expect to pay more than other Chinese places. I say give them a try. read more

I love this place when I used to work in Burbank. It's really cheap in here and they have a lot of servings(you get rice, a salad, main dish chicken fish etc, and egg roll) for less than $10! Their lunch specials are good. And they're serving is fast. Also always ask for the crackers or chips that you can eat while waiting, I like the dip for that. It's really simple dip I think it's sweet and sour dip with mustard if you want it spicy. read more

Nu Great Wok - Chinese Near Me - Burbank, California

Ordered takeout. The food was good, the service was excellent. Prices are reasonable. Ordered sweet & sour chicken, orange chicken and sesame chicken for a group. All very flavorful and well received. I will return in the future! read more

Parking: we got there about 4:30-5:00 and were able to find parking right in front of the restaurant. It shares their parking with a couple other stores in small plaza. Inside Cleanliness: We had to ask the server to get us a different cup as ours was a bit dirty. The inside is average. Clean to a certain degree and some booths and tables. Food: the food was great. Honestly, that sautee shrimp was to die for. The three stars is honestly for the food. It was so good. But the service could have improved. The cleanliness of utensils and cups could be much better. Anybody, I don't care if you are going to an expensive or a dirt cheap restaurant, the minute you see dirty dishes/utensils you automatically become weary and worried for what you will eat. Therefore, I was surprised by the taste of their food but the reason why not 5 stars is because of the cleanliness. read more

This review is for won ton soup. I've had my fair share of won ton soup, and Nu Great Wok is outstanding. My coworker was kind enough to bring me this soup for lunch, and it was filled with fresh vegetables, an ample number of won ton filled with meat and a flavorful broth. I was so hungry that I forgot to take pics of the soup too!!! I will need to try other items at Nu Great Wok one of these days. As a general rule of thumb for restaurants, when they pay attention to the details in items like soup, appetizers or bread, the other main dishes are usually amazing (this almost goes without exception). read more

I was excited to eat here since i hadn't been here in a while. I hate to say I don't think I'll go back. Seems like ownership has changed, and although the menu stayed the same, the food has changed as well. Didn't taste as good. I didn't eat half of my chicken because it was like rubber. 2 stars for their quick and friendly service. read more

It is cozy and beautiful place inside, you can feel like at home here. The staff takes the great care about every customer and it's wonderful. Every plate is delicious and gives the best impressions. The parking is not enough, because they share it with other businesses. read more

I'm so glad a friend and I decided to this place last week. Each member of the wait staff was awesome and attentive... we ordered an appetizer sampler which could have almost served as the meal itself. There was so much food I was nearly stuffed before the entrée arrived. I went generic and ordered the chow mien chicken with my friend choosing a Chinese cabbage that I can't remember the name of tossed with tofu. We shared each and both loved the two dishes; the plates were so densely packed we could barely put a dent in either. Even though I was stuffed I didn't want to stop eating, it was that good. Wound up taking home a giant to-go box filled with food that served as breakfast and lunch the next day. They bring out almond and fortune cookies with the check, clearing the table with a quickness. I can see why, it was maybe 1/5 full when we arrived but every seat was taken by the time we left. With that type of business on a random weeknight, these guys have been doing it right for quite a while. Hands down, the best Chinese food I've had in LA outside of Chinatown. There's no question, I'll be back for sure. read more

One of the best Chinese spots in Burbank. The food is great and the lunch specials are awesome. They offer a combination of food that fill you up nicely. Love the hot & sour soup! The service is great and they know how to treat their guests. The wonton chips provided when seated are delicious as well with the "egg roll" sauce (do not know the name of that red sweet sauce!). THEY SERVE BEER... WHICH IS AWESOME! And they have Chinese beer, great tasting as well.. Recommended Chinese restaurant for locals!... and all others.. read more

This little place looks like it's stuck in the 80's, but luckily their service is also "old school". I've never had such an attentive staff at a Chinese restaurant! They seem like very sweet people, especially when they were greeting their regulars. The waitress was patient with my menu questions, she made sure I knew what I was ordering, she asked when I wanted my dishes to come out and picked plates up right away when I was finished. I will definitely return when craving Won Ton Soup.....BIG wontons, shrimp, chicken, veggies in a crisp, clear broth. Yum! read more

Great Wok used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant. I've been eating here since I moved to LA in '96. It got to the point that when my my ex-husband and I would go in, they asked if we wanted our usual. Well my marriage didn't last but my love for Great Wok did. Over the years I've taken dozens of friends to Great Wok and everyone has loved it. About a month or so ago I went in and noticed all new faces. I found out that the previous owner had retired and it was under new management. I was very saddened to hear this because the previous owner and his crew were so nice and treated me like family. (Nu) Great Wok is very close to me so I wanted to give it a chance. I've given it several chances in fact, going back to sample various dishes to do a complete comparison. The food has definitely changed quite a bit and initially I was very disappointed but although it's different, it isn't bad. I don't get the same cozy familiar feeling when I walk into (Nu) Great Wok for the lunch special or to pick up my to go order nor is my food as satisfying but I'm hoping in time it will grow on me and I'll love it almost as much as the original Great Wok read more

This is some of the best Chinese food in LA! It's classic comfort food and everyone here is so nice. Great prices, great portions, love it here. read more

This place is the shiznit. I only ever get take-out and the sweet older guy that answers the phone is always very nice and even remembers my order - and I order maybe once every other month! I know it's going to be a good night and that all my cares will be washed away when he answers, "Great wok, may I help yoouuu?" I love the pan-fried dumplings (which are handmade, the main reason I chose to try this place out way back when) and the crispy duck. If I'm feeling healthy, I get the steamed chicken or the kung pao chicken with brown rice. I've had their orange chicken in the restaurant and it was amazing, but sometimes the fried foods arrive a wee bit soggy if I order takeout. A forgivable sin since they are located in Burbank and drive to North Hollywood just for me! Finding a good, reliable Chinese takeout place with quality ingredients is tough. Yes it's American-style, but 'Murica, f*** yeah!! Don't be a weenus. Eat here and you will be happy. read more

I called to place an order and the man who was taking my order was incredible rude, it's not like the food is free or that good for that matter. I was amazed to see so many good reviews on Yelp. read more

We went here the other night and it was great! The dining room is tiny, but I liked it for some reason. It was like we were going into these people's home or something. In fact the guy who sat us was in the middle of doing some paperwork on one of the tables, and he moved all his stuff so we could sit at a better table. The couple that runs the place is super nice, and they definitely want you to enjoy your food, which is good, and you get a good amount. Another thing I loved about this place was the fact that they weren't playing some crappy hip hop or other popular music. They played straight up classical music that had a Chinese feel at times. I can't stand it when restaurants play generic music just to try to appeal to the idiotic masses. This was a major plus for me. read more

I have been coming here ever since I have lived in burbank and never have I been disapointed! The Woo wonton soup is packed with everything its supposed to be packed with, not whimpy like lots of other places I have been to, its a meal in its self! Mixed veggies, kung pow anything, lemeon chicken its all good! The food come out fast, and seems to get to your house if you choose delievery just as fast, its really amazing. read more

I have to give this a three because every leaf and veggie had dirt on it. If you don't wash leaves correctly you will see the dirt. It's in the photo as well. Service is good and food is tasty but attention to detail is important. read more

First, I was turned off by how rude the workers were. I ordered my meal to go and they were so rude. It was as if I wasn't paying for them to do their job...or something. I could understand if the place is packed and you have to tend to other dining patrons, but alas...there was only one. And she was an older lady and I swear it seemed as though two of the workers were making fun of her! Now, that was just my perception, but I like to think I have a good read on most people. The Food.......well, I was hoping that a big dish full of rude would at least warrant a side of halfway decent Chinese. Nope. Gross. The menu said it was all white meat and what I got was grisly and grayish colored. I will not try this place again. I usually will give a place at least a second chance. Not this one. I took 3 bites and threw the rest away. What a waste of money and appetite. read more

Have eaten here quite a few times since moving to Burbank last year. I've been consistently impressed with the quality and taste of the food. I enjoy their orange chicken, crispy chicken, mongolian beef, and especially the cream cheese wontons. I have had a variety of other great appetizers, entrees and soups. Nothing has missed the mark. The restaurant is small and pretty minimal, but comfortable. The staff is very friendly. It's been fun using my very limited Mandarin with them. The prices are great. Five of us ate there Saturday night. We had 3 appetizers, soup, 3 main dishes. It was plenty of food for us and was only about $11 each. read more

Usually, great food is not found in a strip mall, next to a dry cleaners and a Subway. Sadly, there is no exception with Great Wok. The Great Wok was a great disappointment. I truly don't understand why this gets great reviews. Yelp, or more to the point, yelpers, you let me down this time. First, this place is small. Maybe it sits 30 people, maybe. The place is clean. For a Chinese food place, that's not always true. But this place is cheap and tacky in appearance. The tables, chairs, glasses and plates, well everything are bargain basement stuff. Even the place mats are the Chinese place mats that I remember from 30 years ago (yes, I'm getting old) that have the Chinese animals for each year. Come on, you know, the one. It looks like it says year of the sheef instead of the sheep. Or the one that says cock instead of roster. Haha, it says cock, still funny. Plus, they have Christmas lights that goes around the entire edge of the ceiling inside as I guess decoration. What is it with Asians and Christmas lights year round? Come on Ken, who cares about the decor, we just want good Chinese food. Haven't you seen the reviews, and what about the won ton soup? All can be forgiven if the food is great or even good. The won ton soup is ok. This is clearly not the best or even great soup though. The won ton in the soup is tasty, but the rest of the soup is pretty bland. The main courses truly are disappointing. The fried rice, I think always a good indication of quality of Chinese food, is bland, forgettable, bland, filling, and bland. It looks like it would be good with lots of egg and peas but how come I can taste more of the cheap tinsel fork than the rice? We had beef and broccoli and sauteed fish (which is much more soupy than expected) and both of those were incredibly bland. In fact, I'm pretty sure all the food is pre-prepared stuff that they just cook or warm up again. I don't think any of it is made from scratch is fresh. Oh, and one last thing that bugs me, I ordered a soda, brought to you in a warm can with a glass of ice. Is it so hard to stick a few in the fridge so they are cold? Ultimately, this place is like the Chinese place mats, old, outdated, a little funny, but mostly just kind of sad. Cock.. hehe. read more

What a great find...thanks to YELP! First off...the service is amazing. It is run by very sweet people. My waitress had worked there almost 20 years. Located in a strip mall at Victory and Olive. The Won Ton Soup was excellent and the small serving is large! Being a big fan of Mu Shu Chicken I had to give theirs a try. It was the best I have ever had! The Beef & Broccoli was also fantastic. The brown sauce has my mouth watering as I type. Also good was the BBQ Pork Fried Rice. I can not wait to go again to try some other items. 2 of us ate for $30.00 and we have left overs for lunch today. Plus they have a lunch menu from 11:30 - 3:00 daily. FREE delivery in all of Burbank. read more

Looks are truly deceiving, that is the case with Great wok..I first came here when I was 6 and 20 years later, it's still one of my favorites for Chinese. It's a small family own restaurant, the same staff and awesome quality food since the first time I came here.. Food is top notch, this is not a fine dining experience but the food may fool you. I have never been disappointed here. The Orange chicken, Hot n Sour Soup, Chow mein, the list goes on.. Service is on point, never had an issue here..Staff has been the same for the last 20 years and they are great. Location/Decor - It's in a strip mall and doesn't look like much from the outside or inside, but its clean and comfortable. They deliver which is great if you live in the area. read more

4.5 Stars actually. The kiddo and I were at home waiting for his birthday party canopies to be set up so we decided to order delivery from this place. It had great reviews and more often than not, Yelp does not steer me wrong. Food: Woo won ton soup - Eh. It was decent, but it lacked flavor. I reduced the blandness with some salt and sriracha. I normally wouldn't order a soup like this, but with a 1 year old, I have to get something easy for him to eat. Chicken chow mein - This was exceptional. Again, not something I'd usually order, but it was surprisingly good. This was definitely not bland. Very flavorful and cooked well. The chicken in it was meaty and not the leftover bits that you might find at other places. Fried wontons & rice - Came with the order. Both were really good. Bonus that they came with. Nice touch. Thai iced tea - Oh man. This is my favorite beverage ever and these guys nailed it!! Service: The man on the phone (owner?) was super nice and apologetic when he informed me that it was their busiest time so the food might take an hour. He said he'd try his best to get it there sooner. No big deal. I love that a place will warn you in advance about this instead of just taking your order and letting you wait and wait without knowing what's going on. The food came about an hour later give or take. I wasn't really paying much attention to the time. The delivery person was very nice and asked how I found the restaurant. Thank you, Yelp. I've found my Chinese go-to restaurant in my new 'hood. read more

Damn for some reason I cannot for the life of me remember what the hell the little things they give you (equivalent to chips and salsa at a mexican restaurant), are but the free crispy things and sweet n sour sauce they give you is a plus for sure. The food here is pretty good. I've had cashew chicken, sweet n sour pork, wonton soup, orange chicken, lo mein...all have been pretty good. I like this place better then frontier wok I think. Def a good take out spot!! Be aware that communication is a little hard. The people that work there barely speak a word of english. read more

This food is terrible. I just received my delivery. Hot & sour soup - It was not hot, nor was is sour. The only thing good are the lacy bits of egg. Temperature-wise it's perfect but it is so bland. Orange shrimp - the're is a very thin coating of something on the outside of the shrimp and the scallions are nice, but the sauce doesn't have the zing I'm looking for House chow fun - There just isn't any flavor here! The noodles are cooked fine and everything and there's but it's just really blah. did they run out of seasoning? What's going on? I can't remember the last time I had Chinese food this bad. I should have just gone to panda and ordered some crack chicken. It would have been 1/4 of the price. I gave two stars because the delivery person was very nice and the service was very fast. read more
