    My friend and I have been here a couple of times and were overcharged the last time...had to ask them to recharge my card. They tried making me pay almost $60+ for something that we usually pay $44 for. So yeah, keep in mind the vegan 1-item is $20 with tax. And the shrimp is absolutely disgusting. It doesn't even resemble food. I had the worst headache from it that went onto the next day, and I couldn't even finish it. It tastes like rubber, and it's the worst vegan food I've ever had. We will NOT be returning as the service is atrocious, and there are a million other Chinese food spots in the area. At first, I thought it was special because it is vegan, but it's not anymore. Beware of being ripped off.

    I was craving Chinese food so decided to stop in. This spot is always busy and well maintained, with a very cool vibe. The staff is extremely pleasant, welcoming, and friendly. As for the food, it's very good, probably the best take out in Whittier. The Ingredients are fresh, tasty, and full of flavors. They give huge portions at very reasonable prices. You can't go wrong coming to Pots N Woks when craving authentic Chinese food.

    So dare I say this is hands down the best Chinese food I've ever had? It's true! There is plenty of parking so no need to worry. It's located is a shopping center and it looks pretty freshly renovated. The service here is great, they are super friendly and welcoming. But let's talk about the food, the real deal! I got the combo C. I got the bbq pork, the mushroom chicken, beef broccoli, with half fried rice and chow mien. The food tasted so fresh and delicious, they pack your plate too! This was definitely my favorite Chinese food place of all time.

    Ask the Community - Pots n' Woks

    Are there still low carb options available?

    Hi do they still offer catering?

    I believe they do, yes.

    Are you on any food delivery apps?

    I've ordered Pots n' Woks via Uber Eats -but it will show as 'unavailable' when the restaurant is closed (Mon-Tues i think)

    Is anything gluten free?

    No, they no longer have gluten free things on their menu.

    What are the vegan proteins made of?

    Mostly soy I believe

    Do you have non vegan meats? Like real meats as well as vegan?

    Yes! Options for carnivores and vegans LOL

    Are the vegan options available to order on the side as while?

    Unfortunately not. Their vegan options are the main courses and they make em fresh to order so you gotta wait about 10-20 min (depending on how busy) for the food to be ready :) unless you call ahead. They do have vegan desserts on the side though.

    Does anyone have an idea how much a platter of vegan Chao mein and vegan kung pao chicken for about 10 people cost?

    All alternative meats cost more than actual meat... it's not far off from Panda Express where you get less food same + price and not vegan nor vegetarian. They give you a lot of food and in my experience vegan isn't cheap. I think their price… 

    Any gluten-free options?

    Rice noodles

    For the vegan plate is it possible to get half orange chicken and half beef broccoli?

    There is no orange chicken or beef broccoli @ Hafez cafe! It's a Persian food not Asian!

    What is the vegan walnut shrimp made of?

    What is the vegan chicken made out of?

    I believe soy and wheat gluten !

    Does anyone know how to contact the owner? What's her name?

    She is usually there. I would try calling her or showing up.

    Is all the menu vegan?

    They have a separate menu of vegan yummyness. They make all the vegan entrees specially for you.

    We had a wonderful visit to YOLO Cafe for Father's Day…read more It's a cozy lil' spot in a small plaza. They have comic books and games, which makes it great for working or just hanging out. Just so you know, there is no restroom available. We shared a few drinks, and my fav' was the strawberry matcha! The banana matcha was good too, but the strawberry one really stood out. The coconut matcha was a bit plain for my taste. The lemonade was very sour, but in a good way! All the croffles were tasty, or as my 9-year-old says, "bussin"! Briscoff croffle though! The staff was really friendly, which made our visit even better. My son was excited to get some free cards for his collection, including a Monkey D. Luffy card! That made his day special. It was such a fun moment! Def' coming back. This time with thy matcha queen connoisseur. Lol

    What a gem of a coffee shop! Tucked away in the corner of a mini plaza, this place is easy to miss…read morebut absolutely worth seeking out. The menu has a ton of options, and I'd say there's truly something for everyone. I got to try the Banana Matcha, and my goodness it was phenomenal. They use real banana, the flavor tasted fresh and natural, with no artificial syrups or overly sweet aftertaste. I also ordered the Chestnut Coffee, and wow. The espresso was bold and flavorful while still maintaining a perfect balance of sweetness. The foam on top deserves its own shoutout! thick, creamy, rich, and incredibly satisfying with every sip. The barista (possibly the owner?) was incredibly kind and welcoming. You could tell he genuinely cared about both the quality and presentation of the drinks. Not only are they Instagram worthy, but they're delicious too a combination that's harder to find than you'd think. The interior is adorable, with comfortable seating areas and fun touches throughout. I loved spotting the little decorations around the shop, Pokémon and one piece. I came on a Thursday afternoon and stayed from about 3:00 to 7:30 PM studying, and it was the perfect environment to get work done while enjoying great coffee. I'll definitely be back and can't wait to work my way through more of the menu.
