Amazing food, as always! Everything we ordered tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. What we have today: - Crab roe & crab meat noodles - Crab roe rice pot (new dish) - Shanghai crab roe fried rice - Classic pork, crab roe & pork, and black truffle pork soup dumplings - Cheesy shrimp potstickers We started with Shanghai crab roe noodles, my absolute favorite here! The sauce was super rich, creamy and packed with delicious crab roe flavor. I can't remember how many times I visit this place just for the crab roe noodles! We also got the chance to be one of the first guests to try their newest dish: Shanghai crab roe rice pot! With the similar savory crab roe sauce, enhanced by a satisfying crunchy rice texture that reminded us of the clay pot rice, this dish was so comforting and very ideal for the winter. Crab roe fried rice is another favorite of mine, always hits, but the soup dumplings really amazed me this time! We got to sample all 3 types of soup dumplings: classic pork, crab roe & pork, and black truffle pork. Each one had its own unique flavor, and I genuinely enjoyed every bite. The dumplings were juicy and perfect for sharing. And lastly, the cheesy shrimp potstickers, which were crispy on the outside, creamy inside, such a fun combination of flavors. It's a bit heavy for me, but I allowed it for this time only! Overall, everything was so satisfying, there's nothing I could ever complain about this place. If you love crab roe, you definitely need to visit Stick & Wok!
Came here for a late lunch/early dinner on Sunday at around 4:30pm with a couple friends. There was no wait when we arrived so we were seated immediately. We ordered four dishes to share. - Crab Roe & Crab Meat Shanghai Noodles: This item is advertised as Shanghai Crab Roe or Crab Meat Noodles on the menu, so when we ordered, we said Crab Meat Noodles. We even repeated at the end after the staff member finished taking our orders. We were surprised and confused when the dish came out with roe. We brought it up with the staff member who brought out the dish and they checked with the person whom we placed the order with. Another staff member also got involved. Essentially, they wanted us to stick with the crab roe and meat. If it's not really a choice between the two, they should really change the wording on the menu. - Pork Soup Dumplings: These were good. The soup was flavorful and had a hint of sweetness to it. - Black Truffle Wagyu Fried Rice: Yummy. I liked that the truffle flavor was prominent and that the Wagyu were small bite-sized pieces. - Spicy Sichuan Green Beans: Well seasoned green beans. Not too spicy. The pieces of pork were a nice addition.
We had a very disappointing experience at Stick & Wok at Westfield Valley Fair, especially with the staff member wearing the red uniform in the picture. When we arrived, she seated us at a table located in a very busy area where staff and customers were constantly walking back and forth. I politely explained that I was uncomfortable sitting there because all the movement was distracting while eating, especially since I easily get dizzy. We simply asked if we could move to another available table toward the end. At first, she told us that the table was reserved, which we completely understood. However, when we politely asked about another table, she immediately told us we could not move there either. What made the situation worse was not even the seating issue, but her attitude toward us. She was extremely cold, dismissive, and visibly irritated whenever we tried to speak with her or make a simple request. We did not feel welcomed at all. The way she interacted with us made us feel as though we were being treated differently, and the experience honestly came across as discriminatory. I have eaten at many restaurants, and this is one of the very few times I have felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome because of a staff member's behavior. Customers should be able to politely ask about seating without being treated as if they are causing a problem. A simple explanation delivered with basic courtesy and professionalism would have been enough. We ultimately decided not to eat here at all and left for another restaurant where we were treated much better. Management should seriously address how customers are spoken to and treated. Good food means nothing if your guests are made to feel unwelcome before they even have a chance to order. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will not be coming back and cannot recommend this location.
Stick & Wok is an interesting restaurant. I would not necessarily say every individual dish here is extraordinary. The food overall is good and competently executed. What makes this place genuinely worth trying, especially with a group, is the wok-and-wrap concept. We ordered the Mongolian-style Wagyu beef with onions and scallions, served with thin pancakes for wrapping. Of course, wrapping meat and vegetables inside a thin pancake is not exactly a new device architecture. Peking duck and traditional Mandarin pancakes established this technology a very long time ago. There is, however, a reason the architecture survived. It is extremely fun. Put a large plate in the middle of the table, distribute the pancakes, and everyone starts building their own configuration. Some people optimize the meat-to-onion ratio. Some add more scallions. Some apply considerably more sauce than the original design specification probably intended. Then everyone eats, talks, and immediately starts fabricating the next unit. For group dining, it works remarkably well. But from an engineering perspective, I actually found one of the least glamorous components to be the most interesting: the pancake itself. The wrapper is essentially the packaging layer of the system, and its mechanical properties are critical. It must be thin and flexible enough to fold around an irregular payload while maintaining sufficient tensile strength under localized mechanical stress. Once hot beef, vegetables, oil and sauce are introduced, the material must also maintain structural integrity in a warm, high-moisture environment. A poorly manufactured wrapper develops cracks or pinholes. Once that happens, fluid transport takes over. Oil and sauce migrate through the lowest-resistance pathway, structural failure propagates, and suddenly the experiment has moved from the plate onto your hands. That failure mode was notably absent here. The pancakes were thin, soft and surprisingly robust. They tolerated folding, compression and some fairly aggressive user-induced overloading without tearing. No random pinholes. No catastrophic package failure. No sauce leakage all over the operator. The food is the die. The pancake is the packaging. And good packaging can make the entire device work. The fried rice was also quite good. The individual grains remained reasonably separated rather than collapsing into an oily homogeneous mass, while the shrimp, egg, meat and scallions showed good distribution throughout the plate. Nothing revolutionary here -- just good process control. We also tried both the regular soup dumplings and the crab roe soup dumplings. Both were enjoyable, although for me they functioned more as supporting modules than the primary reason to visit. Overall, I think Stick & Wok makes the most sense as a group dining platform. Come with several people. Order a few wok dishes with pancakes, add fried rice and soup dumplings, put everything in the middle of the table, and start passing components around. The underlying Chinese dining concept is certainly not new. But the implementation is good, and more importantly, it makes dinner interactive. Sometimes you don't need a revolutionary new device architecture. You just need good packaging. -- Dr. C Unofficial Food Process Validation Engineer Lot: STICK&WOK-01 Process Window: Stable Food Performance: Good Process Control: PASS Packaging Integrity: EXCELLENT Leakage / Pinholes: ND User-Induced Overloading: Tolerated Group Interaction Yield: HIGH Critical Failure Mode: None Observed Final Disposition: PASS -- RELEASED FOR GROUP CONSUMPTION
Stopped by for lunch and it was super hot inside. Sadly no air flow, I think they needed more AC. Pork XLB - the skin was thin and there was a good amount of soup. However, it lacked flavor. Crab roe noodles - it would've been an easy 5 stars 5 but there was no salt at all. The crab roe sauce was super bland. I did appreciate the ginger tea because this dish is heavy.
I've walked past this restaurant countless times, but it never dawned on me to try it until I saw a video of their famous crab roe noodles. I'd only ever seen this dish made in New York, so I was incredibly excited to finally try it closer to home. We walked in around 11:30 AM on a Saturday, and it was surprisingly quiet with only one other party seated. I absolutely loved seeing the chefs up front wrapping fresh dumplings. It's always a great sign knowing you're getting the real deal, not frozen! We ordered the string beans, XLB, and the crab roe noodles, and every single dish was a 10/10. The crab roe noodles not only tasted delicious, but completely exceeded my expectations of what that bowl of golden goodness was going to be like. You could tell everything was made with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. On top of that, the portions were generous, and the pricing was very reasonable. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming throughout our meal. By the time we finished eating, almost every table in the restaurant was filled! I'm kicking myself for not trying this place sooner, but I'm so glad I finally did. I will definitely be keeping this spot in my back pocket as my go-to for authentic Chinese food in the mall!
We were looking at food options to eat at valley fair and stumbled across this place and was overall pleasantly surprised. Thankfully the wait was not too long. They have a lot of classic items on their menu. We got the string beans, pork XLB, crab roe noodles, and fish. All the food tasted amazing. The XLB was very flavorful! The string beans were very salty, we mentioned it to them and they promptly corrected it. The crab roe noodles was new to me, but I loved it. The noodles were a great texture. My favorite dish was the fish. Amazing flavor profile. Would recommend
What we ordered: Crab roe noodles. Price: A bit on the pricier side for a dish but considering what you are eating and quality of the food, you get what what you pay for. It's a fair price and you can share between two people to taste it. Flavor: The flavor was very delicious. Reminded me of a similar dish that I like to order when I am in Suzhou China. I'd say the flavor is on par with something you would get in China. Awesome! Service & Ambiance: The service was good and it was fast. The art on the walls is funny, seems like the backgrounds of the food on the posters were AI generated but it was quite entertaining and it was fun to look at all of them. overall would return!
Wow! I think I found my new favorite place to eat at the mall. A week or so prior to our first visit, my brother sent me a video on social media highlighting the Crab Roe Noodles. The next day, my partner surprised me with an order of the viral noodles (and some yummy green beans) when I came home from work and instantly I was blown away! He mentioned that as he was ordering, the staff encouraged him to bring me to dine-in for our next visit. They recommend eating at the restaurant & enjoying the food fresh for the best experience. Since I loved the noodles as a takeout order, I was eager to try them fresh and was happy to jump at the opportunity to dine-in. We came in to visit on a Wednesday morning around 11:30, and there were plenty of seats available. The staff was very attentive -- the hostess, our waitress, and the big boss (who was in front making dumplings) all checked in with us to make sure we were enjoying our meal. For this visit, we ordered the Crab Roe Noodles, Cucumber Salad, Black Truffle Wagyu Potstickers, and the Chocolate Banana Dumplings for dessert. They started us off with some complimentary tomato beef soup, and we watched videos of the food to stir up our appetites while we waited. We absolutely loved EVERYTHING!! The Crab Roe Noodles tasted even better fresh (surprise!) -- a small splash of vinegar goes a long way in adding some complexity to the noodles, adding a hint of sweet umami to the overall dish. The hostess also shared with us that this dish in particular is a Shanghai specialty, with the crabs sourced from lake-water instead of ocean-water. The Cucumber Salad was very refreshing -- seemingly lighter than other cucumber salads I've enjoyed before. The cucumber really seems to shine well in this presentation. Black Truffle Wagyu Potstickers were tasty as well, and has piqued my interest in trying the fried rice next time! The potstickers are presented with an aioli -- together, they reminded us of eating a burger with truffle. Novelty & fun! Finally, we really enjoyed the Chocolate Banana Dumplings for dessert. Served fresh in an order of 4, the banana is infused into the chocolate sauce for a smooth chocolate dumpling texture. My partner regretted not having an order to himself, but you live & you learn! We will definitely be back to try out some of their other items!!
This restaurant is a hidden gem! We came in with no expectations and were all pleasantly surprised with the food and service. Everything we ordered were delicious and hit the spot for Shanghainese stomach (dumplings, pot stickers and salt&pepper pork). Will definitely come back!
We were first in line on a random Wednesday. Clean and super sweet service. There were three tables that came after us. I enjoyed the beef tomato cabbage soup that was complimentary. Warm and savory with a touch of vinegar. Pork soup dumplings were fine. Love the vinegar and ginger. I didn't come here for the dumplings. Mongolian beef was fire! Super tender with a really great taste. Loved all the onions and green onions. Fantastic with rice. Crab roe and noodles were what we came for. Tasted exactly how I thought it would. Rich and a little seafoody. Noodles were bouncy but the twin likes it with rice. Needs to add the vinegar to cut the richness and I also added a little soy sauce and salt. Next time I would pay double to also add the crab meat. I wouldn't drive to San Jose for it, but if I was in the area, I for sure would try to get it again. Would have loved traditional music instead of country music :) Or maybe any other music than country music :)
You walk in and are greeted with being able to watch the people make the dough for the dumplings and noodles. I absolutely loved that touch. Very quick service and delicious food. I would absolutely eat here again any day. The Wagyu wrap came out more like fajitas. I thought it would come out already wrapped up due to the picture on the menu, but turns out they were displaying on the TV screens that it comes out like fajitas so my bad. It was really really fun though because they lit it on fire at the table. Would come for all the deliciousness again.

Rating: 3.5/5 Crab Roe and Pork Soup Dumplings - this came out fresh and steaming hot. It was good, soup was flavorful and the overall dumpling didn't really need any extra sauce to go with it. The crab flavor is more forward than pork and the wrap wasn't too thick. Shanghai Crab Roe Noodles - thick, creamy, saucy, had pieces of roe (prob be yummy with crab meat as well) crab flavor is there and wasn't too strong. It was good on its own or with a touch of vinegar that came with the dish. I think it would've been even better with a bit of heat, but overall it was enjoyable. The noodles were soft and paired well with it and the dish even comes with ginger shots to cleanse your palate and end your meal with. Cheese and Shrimp Potstickers - this was an interesting combination, but it worked. It was juicy and you def taste the cheese and shrimp but I wasn't a fan of the wrapper which was a bit too thick for my liking. I also didn't really care for the dipping sauce (reminded me of ranch, which didn't really pair well with the potstickers, but not quite sure what it was) Salt & Pepper Pork Chop - flavors are there and the pork is more on the meaty end. The onions paired well with the dish but it was a bit oily and the pork chop wasn't as crisp as I would've liked. Service was good, place is clean, open kitchen and can see them wrapping the dumplings, and there are tv screens and pictures on the wall showcasing their food. Overall, I'd come here again for the crab roe noodles and soup dumplings and I'm open to trying other menu items. I'd pass up on the other two items the next time. read more
Great spot to enjoy soup dumplings that are made in front of you. We got the pork dumplings, Fresh, simple and pork flavor forward. The Mongolian beef with wraps was delicious. Presentation was fun with a fire show. Good smoky flavor the chow mein was tasty. Staff were very kind and helpful. It was a busy place and I see why. Will be back when I'm in the area again. read more
We had a party of 8 near close time so the hostess told us to wait for 20 minutes. This was accurate and we were seated as anticipated. We ordered the dry fried green beans, Chinatown chow mein, and pork xiao long bao. The green beans were super salty because of the pork. The chow mein was not bad but also not the best I've had. The xiao long bao was definitely not up to expectations. The soup inside tasted like corn soup and was very strange tasting. They didn't give us vinegar or ginger, nor did they give us soup spoons until we badgered them multiple times. Atmosphere was typical of a Chinese restaurant. read more

it was honestly so good! The food was fresh, flavorful, and everything we ordered was delicious. The customer service was great too,everyone was friendly and the service was quick. The real surprise was their chocolate banana dumplings. If you're a banana lover, you HAVE to try them. I honestly think they're even better than Din Tai Fung's dessert. warm and gooey on the inside, such a perfect way to end the meal. Definitely coming back! read more
The ambiance is orange themed, minimalist chic and inviting. Service was quick and friendly. The pork soup dumplings and wagyu beef with broccoli was tasty. The rice does comes separately with additional charge. Good stop for a quick mall bite. read more

Ordered the crab roe, 10/10 for sure, comes with vinegar which doesn't seem needed as it covers the crab taste. Ordered the truffle fried rice and that was unfortunate disappointing, not terrible but we don't taste truffle at all. Definitely will come back for the crab roe and to try the Mongolian wrap read more

this hiidden place is definitely a gem! we found this place since my daughter wanted soup dumplings. noodles mixture was flavorful but very heavy. the noodles were overcooked. it's it worth $33? definitely not. it is worth a try though. daughter got pork dumplings. it tasted homemade and fresh. worth coming back for this. the place is very clean and service was very friendly. next time, i'll probably try other items. for this review, we were given two free chocolate banana dumplings. read more
Another Valley Fair asian joint where there is a line but its a shorter one. Very authentic variety on the menu as we had the following: Cucumbers Salad- chopped cucumbers with a vinegar dressing and a nice refreshing crunch to accompany the other dishes. Walnut Shrimp - generous size of shrimp and fried to perfection with a slight drizzle of mayo/honey sauce which was made the shrimp have a good crunch. MaPo Tofu- Went with a veggie option (minus the pork) as it was a flavor bomb but a little strong on the sichuan peppercorns. Waguy Truffle fried rice- little bits of beef but the rice itself had the truffle essence and it was needed to pair with the other dishes. Busy Friday night but the service was quick, friendly and efficient. read more

The sichuan fish fillet in chilli sauce had the smokey taste, not sure if it's authentic, it's not the usual version done in most other restaurants. Xiao Long Bao had a very fine minced meat inside, and the dough was so thin and fine in texture that it lost its chewiness. Other dishes were decent. Food came out fast. Service was not as good as last time. They were stingy giving us insufficient container and bag. Food contained MSG. read more

Visited on 6/29 during lunch time. We ordered chicken chow mein, fried rice and the Mongolian beef. All items were GREAT! Very flavorful and seasoned perfectly. The Mongolian beef was tender and the sauce was A++. We will be returning! :) read more

Giving it straight: welcomed and seated quickly. Water and menus given immediately. Order taken and food delivered within 10 minutes. More importantly, food tastes great! Everything here is a must try. We will be back to try the rest of the menu. Thank you Stick & Wok staff for a great experience. read more

The pork XLB was my favorite. The crab noodles was decent but could use a little more umami. Wagyu truffle potstickers were weird. I left the rest after 2 bites. Typhoon shelter shrimp was also decent but could use a tad more flavor. Service was not great. I waited a while for the server to take my order and a really long time for them to get me the bill. Probably wouldn't go back but if you are desperate for XLB, it's a decent choice if Din Tai Fung is too busy. read more

In mall near old navy. Not many people. Service great! Food very nice! Pretty bright with jazz music at mid volume playing. Got wonton soup and wagyu beef wok wrap. Both very tasty. They stress proper form when doing the wrap. Had video and images at table. Would stop by again! read more
Incredibly quick and friendly service. Portions are generous. The food were all delicious. We ordered the Shanghai crab meat noodles, sweet and sour pork, mapo tofu and vegetable spring rolls. The mapo tofu had just the right amount of tinge and spiciness. Crab meat noodles were fresh and tasty. Overall dining environment was comfortable, clean and great! read more

My wife and I finally got the chance to try Stick & Wok inside Valley Fair Shopping Center in San Jose, and overall, we had a really great first experience. I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so I was excited that we finally stopped by and gave it a shot. We ordered the crab roe noodles, the truffle Wagyu fried rice, and the cucumber salad. The truffle Wagyu fried rice was easily the highlight of the meal. It was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. I almost ate the entire plate by myself because it was honestly that good. The combination of the truffle flavor and Wagyu made the fried rice taste rich, savory, and very satisfying. I would definitely come back just for that dish alone. The crab roe noodles were also very good and had a unique flavor. The noodles were prepared nicely, and it was something different from what we usually order. We enjoyed trying it and thought it was a good choice for our first visit. We also ordered the cucumber salad. We tried a few pieces, but we felt it was lacking a little bit of flavor compared to the other dishes. We also became a little hesitant about eating more of it after hearing about recent food safety concerns involving cucumbers, so unfortunately, we decided not to finish it. That part was a little disappointing and felt like a waste, but it did not take away from how good the rest of the meal was. The customer service was excellent from beginning to end. The employees were friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome. I even told the manager that I planned on leaving them a five-star review on Yelp, and she became very excited and appreciative. It was nice to see how much they cared about the customer experience. The environment was clean, comfortable, and enjoyable. Even though Valley Fair can get very busy, the line was not bad at all. I would say the wait was only around 10 minutes at most, which was very reasonable. The food also looked great when it arrived, so I took plenty of pictures. Overall, Stick & Wok was a great place with delicious food, excellent customer service, and a nice atmosphere. The truffle Wagyu fried rice was definitely the star of the meal and something I highly recommend ordering. My wife and I enjoyed our visit, and we would definitely come back again to try more items from the menu. If you are shopping at Valley Fair or looking for something different to eat in San Jose, I highly recommend checking this place out. Good food, good service, and a great overall experience. Five stars from us! read more
Group dinner review. Came here with 7 people on a weekday. It was completely empty at the time compared to all the crazy long lines at places next door. At first glance and seeing the name, I thought this was a fast casual spot with Chinese style burritos. I was pleasantly surprised by the end. FOOD was not cheap but tasted great. We ordered the honey walnut prawn, truffle wagyu fried rice* (popular), kung pao chicken (not spicy), Mongolian wagyu beef* (very good), cold cucumber salad, Sichuan green beans*, crab roe noodles*, salt and pepper calamari, crab roe pork potstickers, and white rice. Everything tasted good with highlights with asterisks. The chef in the back even gave us an early preview of a steamed dish coming soon. Yum. The service was super fast. Good came out quickly (except pot stickers take 10-15 min). Water was always refilled without asking. Came out to around $35 person with 7 people. read more
Starting with the good. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely nothing to complain about there. What let us down was the food. To be clear it's not bad. It's just not good for the price. I know it's in Valley Fair mall so the price will be higher than other places, but I do expect the taste to be better. The walnut prawns had too much dough. The Shanghai crab noodles was interesting but the sauce was more egg flavor than crab, which was disappointing. The string beans was good though. We're unlikely to be back just because there are plenty of other better options at Valley Fair at this price point. read more
