The Chicken Rice Bowl comes loaded with juicy hot chicken, rice, lettuce, tomato, and both their Famous White and Big Bird sauces. But if you're a hot chicken traditionalist, get the sandwich. Crispy, juicy chicken with slaw, pickles, Big Bird Sauce, plus fries on the side. And apparently one form of chicken wasn't enough for me, so we also tried the Chicken Caesar Wrap.

Since I had never been there before I opted to use the screen so I could look through all my options. I decided to build my own burger. My burger took about 10 minutes for it come out. I did have to remind the staff member that I ordered an oreo shake but once I pointed it out he confirmed and got started on it right away. I found the burger to be well made and filling. They had indoor seating which is where I sat and there was plenty of room to sit for it being dinnertime. The burger was a little more on the expensive side but I felt like I could taste the quality which makes it feel more worth it.

It totally beats Panda, Pick-up-Stix and all the rest. Mr. Wok is located in an old strip mall, b/w El Toro Rd. & Trabuco Rd. ~ in Lake Forest. It's near a Grocery Outlet, Dollar Tree & Coffee Bean. It's small, quaint and clean. The decor is minimal and there is some seating inside, as the food is served hot & fresh behind the buffet-like counter. Think OG Sam Woo BBQ restaurant style. IYKYK. The owners are super friendly & sweet. My family of 4 always gets 3 x 2-item combos to share (for $10.90/each..you really can't beat that). On this particular night, I happen to be feeling under that weather and craving something soupy, so I also ordered a large hot & sour soup and the fried wonton appetizer (3 count). Everything came out to about $46ish, which is such a deal, considering the amount of food we get. Our fam loves the chow mein (fried) noods here, so that's all we get. It's chewy & flavorful. Add some sriracha and it's bomb! Our typical side items are the beef w/ broccoli (which is really fresh & tender..not salty or overly saucey), hubs loves the chicken w/ black bean sauce (it's healthy protein w/ the veggies), the kiddies love the orange chicken (b/c it's moist and juicy..not overcooked & crunchy like Panda is sometimes), and the bbq pork is one of my favs (super flavorful and moist..like homemade). YUMS! So if you are craving Chinese fast-food that not only satisfies, but in this day and age comes w/ generous portions at affordable prices, then give Mr. Wok a try. RxFoodie recommend!!!

But, since their construction this place has gone way down hill. A lot of newer employees it seems, but thats no excuse. Food amounts are different each time, taco with barely any meat, pinto and cheese with about half the amount as before, and more issues... It does not seem that Taco Bell reduced sizes as sometimes everything is fine. BUT, the biggest issue is the now heavily long wait times. Drive thru wait time has become incredibly long and in store wait time is now also really bad. Along with that the newer employees really suck, bad. Taco Bell made a bad choice removing the soda machine. Now, you cant get your drink before your order is ready, and more important, they never have your drink made when your order is ready. Kids cant go get their own water. Taco Bell has basically caused a lot more work for their employees. I'll 100% update this review if it gets better, but so far it has not. If for some reason i have to go to this location and eat in store, i will most likely be ordering in drive thru then taking the food inside as the drive thru wait time is still better than in store, even though the drive thru is no longer fast.

I have also eaten inside the restaurant and it is always very clean and kept at a comfortable temperature. The bathrooms are always clean too.

Hands Down, Voted Best Subway in Mission Viejo! * Cordial and professional team, great manager! * Food quality on point, bread was fresh and yummy * Customer service was excellent, they even added more veggies free of charge! * Immaculate and clean! Best part of it all is they have an outdoor seating area which is a first for Subway and it was awesome because I just came back driving from San Diego and I needed to rest my feet. Thanks Subway ! read more

So he took it back and the two women at the counter were rude to him and asked if he wanted a refund. He told them No he would like them to make it the correct way (no bacon, added pepper relish and added roast beef that I paid extra for) The lady told the girl, just remake it. Had they apologized immediately and offered to remake and were kind about THEIR mistake, I would not be writing this. I realize customer service is a thing of the past, but there are many other JMikes and sandwich places I will be taking my business to from now on that do care. Oh and side note, she tried to argue that they did put roast beef on it, and good thing he had it with him because then after looking said to the other girl "you didn't add roast beef?" As if that was the only thing wrong.
