    Honey Walnut Shrimp
    Kellee B.

    The portions here are humongous! Honestly, the chow mein could have feed an entire family. I'll be eating left overs all week long. It was filled with large, juicy, pieces of chicken. The noodles were flavorful but slightly too salty in some bites. I love honey walnut shrimp and I was very impressed with the size of these shrimps. Jumbo for sure! Something about a crisped fried shrimp in a creamy, sweet sauce topped with the crunch of a candied walnut. Perfection.

    Always hot and Freshly made. Yummy. Plenty of food for sure. For me it is at least two meals. One for dinner and leftovers for lunch. They have made significant improvements on signage. However the seating area can use updating for sure. One of our favorite Chinese places to go. Order at the counter then pay at register. You'll get a # and will call your number when ready. Cant hardly wait to get come and chow down.

    I was craving Chinese and this place stood out. No frills. You go in, order from the big menu and you'll be out in less than 15 minutes. This type of Chinese food is very nostalgic to me. It's quintessential Chinese-American. The dishes were not greasy and the flavor was plentiful. I did note feel thirsty afterwards. The portions are huge. This will last me throughout the week. Definitely worth checking out. I'd go back. 10/10 would recommend.

    It was our first time trying this place out as we were housesitting in Rocklin, thought we could try it out as it had good reviews. We ordered a combo plate for dinner you definitely get a good portions for a decent price it came piping hot we got it to go and the staff was nice when we went to go pick it up. The only thing is it was a salt bomb so at times certain bites were getting a little too overwhelming. I can't remember if we finished our meal but it didn't taste bad it just was a bit too salty. Not sure if we would try it again but wasn't horrible.

    Mixed vegetable (not) "Chicken"

    Not a SINGLE piece of chicken in the Mixed Vegetable chicken. Not one. Lots of food, generous serving but not a single piece of chicken. We've come here a lot and it's usually good, but only ordered the orange chicken. The one time I deviate, I get screwed. Tip: if you want protein, order the dishes that only come with the protein like orange chicken. Otherwise you get everything BUT the protein. Very disappointed.

    We just had a to-go meal from Prime Wok Express for the fourth time, two years in a row for Thanksgiving. As always, generous portions served piping hot. I got chow mein and cashew chicken, which has lots of fresh veggies and tender chicken. The service is prompt and friendly.

    Hefty servings! Delicious

    The reviews and photos are on point for Prime Wok Express - big servings, your order is cooked fresh, and food is absolutely delicious unlike plenty of other Chinese spots we've had for fast to-go service. Best advice? Call ahead of time to pick up as this place gets rather busy and rightfully so! No "special" twist with their freshly cooked Chinese food selections. Just good'ol traditional simple Chinese food to have your taste buds do the fandango dance (if that's even a dance). Ambiance is precisely what is should be - feels like a wonderful spot with hard working staff that provided fantastic service as promptly as possible. This is our new baseline for Chinese food in the Roseville-Rocklin area. Going to be hard to beat! My favorite so far is their General Tsao's chicken - tasty, delicious, just the right amount of spice! Passing on cheese wonton next time since their crab cheese wonton is just that much better. Yum! Fried rice and chow mein were soooo sooo good. Not too salty, not too bland, and juuuust right. Service was great, no complaints at all. Might try their eggplant with garlic sauce next time - pics don't do this place justice. Highly recommended to fulfill your Chinese food cravings! I'm sure locals knew about this spot already. Having recently moved to Roseville, we're ecstatic to find out what locals already knew. This hole in the wall is an absolute diamond!

    MUST TRY! We've passed this place a handful of times on our way to a taphouse and I'm so sad that we hadn't tried this place sooner. The place is not well suited for a sit down meal. They have tables but the food is packaged to go, plastic utensils, wooden chopsticks. We stopped in on a Wednesday around 6pm and it was BUSY with in person orders and to-go orders. The staff isn't overly friendly but they are extremely efficient. We ordered 4 plates (Chow Mein, Orange Chicken, General Chicken, and Honey Glazed Chicken) and Veggie Egg Rolls. EVERYTHING was delicious, great quality, and large portions for a reasonable price. PARKING: They have a shared parking lot but you won't have any problems finding a spot. BEER/WINE: No options in house but there's a tap house a few steps away.

    I absolutely love this place! Whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop here. I've been coming for about a year now and they never disappoint. The spicy Mongolian beef is so good, the portions are always generous, and the crab wontons are a favorite too. Honestly, everything is seasoned perfectly--no need for soy sauce. Consistently delicious food and always worth the stop!

    Great value and food as always. Keep them prices low and portions high! Very happy with this restaurant.

    our delivery arrived nicely

    We ordered take out for my moms birthday since it's her favorite. Although it was our first time it definitely won't be our last. The food was super delicious and everything came hot and neatly in containers. My only complaint would be the steamed rice was kinda dry, which usually rice is soft and fluffy but no big deal. 5/5 would recommend

They did have a fairly good number of customers during that time, perhaps for that very reason. It's a basic storefront restaurant in a strip shopping center. Nothing too unique or special, and it is clean. Parking is readily available so that shouldn't be an issue. Service is good. Again, nothing that one wouldn't expect for this type of place. I had a hunger for a sandwich, a Vietnamese one! Banh Mi. They had five basic types and I got the grilled pork. I tend to like a tofu, but that wasn't an option. We started with won tons for an appetizer. They were deep fried to a crisp. The sandwich was just OK, like everything else here. nothing special. I thought bread was a bit stale, not like I've had elsewhere. The sandwich also didn't pack mucn flavor. Overall it satisfied the hunger yet I doubt this is the high point of the menu. If I go again I'll try a Pho or a Rice Dish. I suspect they're better.
