    Chow Mein (Lo Mein) Mongolian Beef  Rice
    Irene A.

    First time eating here and fell in love with the food. The chow mein was great. Tried it with Mongolian beef and it was so tender. There was service was amazing and so sweet. Also ordered with some Honey Walnut Shrimp which was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone was so kind and service was great. So quick recap: Mongolian Beef: Delicious tender Honey Walnut Shrimp: perfectly cooked Chow mein: overall delicious Salt n pepper chicken: the seasoning was perfect. Taste so good. I want more lol Hot n Sour soup: perfect balance of hot & sour green beans: eat them while it's hot

    Green Beans w/ Spicy Garlic Sauce

    The staff was amazing super nice. We came in 45 mins before they closed. And they let us eat there and were patient with my grandma as she asked questions. So thank you! It's a small but nice place with seating out side and a couple tables inside.So let's get in to the food. The food was all super fresh and hot! So that is a 10/10 it didn't taste old but let's get into the flavor. We got pork chow mein. It was not my favorite, it had a sweet taste which I'm not use too and don't really care for I am definitely a more savory. So I wouldn't get it again so I'd give it 5/10. 2nd we got the spicy garlic green beans. We got mild spice cause my grandma doesn't eat spice. But again they were more sweet than garlicky, they are less cooked then al dente. Closer to the raw. But you can always re heat it and cook them a little more because you will definitely have leftovers if give it 5/10. I wouldn't have preferred more of garlic taste because that's the main ingredient in the name. 3 we got the salt and pepper chicken. To me that was a 9/10 the flavor was perfect it was crispy I just wish the chicken was a little more juicy so maybe cook 2 mins less but I would definitely order it again so definitely try it And I want to try the rice if I went back. The lady said they had a mango cream soda I'm not a soda person but it was delicious I'd give it a 10/10 definitely try it if you haven't

    Lunch Special Menu

    My family and I were looking for a quick bite and stumbled upon this Chinese restaurant. The place is small, with only 3-4 tables inside, and seems to be mainly a takeout spot. They offer lunch specials Monday through Saturday from 11am to 3pm, and we were able to order from that menu. The lunch special came with Hot & Sour soup, a half-and-half choice of pork fried rice, vegetable chow mein, steamed vegetables, or white rice, plus a main dish. We ordered the General Tso Shrimp, Black Pepper Beef, and Honey Walnut Prawns. Everything came out quickly and piping hot. The fried rice and chow mein were delicious, though a bit on the salty side. That said, for about $14 per dish, it was definitely worth it. The portions were huge. We would come back again!

    Container is smaller than it looks in picture lol . Steam rice with vege chowmein and salt n pepper chicken combo

    Been seeing this place pop up a couple times and was in the area so I decided to pop in and grab a quick lunch ... the place itself is nice but very small .. has two tables .. one for a party of 2 and another for a party of 4 or 5.. I ordered from their special menu which was pretty extensive. I ordered the salt n pepper chicken with steamed rice and vege chowmein .. it also came with hot n sour soup .. the rice was on the dry side but not bad .. the chowmein was good and the salt n pepper chicken was great.. only complaint was the portion was on the smaller size for the price .. but the salt n pepper chicken was delicious. I would come back to try some other dishes.

    This food is good!! I got salt and pepper shrimp, shrimp fried rice, and veggie chow mein, everything had flavor and was cooked to perfection, I live in Elk Grove and I gladly will take the drive to this place because I haven't had any Chinese food that can compare to here , I'm a Bay Area girl so I find myself always comparing food to restaurants out there so I'm glad to find a replacement, just know ordering Ala carte gets a bit expensive

    In a nutshell; Panda express, but up the quality a tad bit, the price a little bit more, and the portions x(1.3) Good chinese food to go, and if you do want to dine-in, they do have a few number of tables for you to dine-in at. Person at the counter was very nice, tables weren't too wobbly nor were the chairs. Enough parking spaces outside even on a busy lunch our in my opinion. Theres a few various food choices on the menu to choose and does have the usual entree side combo options. Doesn't take too long to get your food either. So overall if youre just looking for easy Chinese food that isnt panda express then do consider going to this place. Yes the prices are a bit more than the usual which can prompt you to think "why am I paying for expensive panda express" then maybe the quality of the food and portions can convince ya that it matches the prices. Overall was still a pleasant experience overall.

    Beijing Beef Combination Platter with Egg Roll & Chow Mein, comes with Wonton Soup too! Hubby loved it!!
    Rachelle P.

    We decided to stop in for lunch. I ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp Combination Platter with Wonton Soup, Potsticker and Steamed Vegetables. My hubby ordered the Beijing Beef Combination Platter with Wonton Soup, Egg Roll and Chow Mein. My hubby, our 1 year old who split with us and I enjoyed our meals! The Wok Takeout is a family owned business that opened just last year! They offer limited outdoor and indoor seating, as well as Chinese takeout. We'll definitely be returning to try more of their menu items, great service! SYOY! :-) *Song Credit: Outside by @iksonmusic

    Salt & pepper shrimp catering size ($61 for 48 pieces). They came in boxes but we put them in our serving trays
    Camille Y.

    We needed to bring a dish to a potluck and were scrambling to find a place that could take a catering order with less than 24 hours' notice. The Wok came through big time! I called a little before they opened at 11am to ask if they could have a catering order ready by 2:30pm and they made it happen, no problem, it was ready by pick up time. Even though we only ordered one dish, they were super accommodating and helpful. We got the salt and pepper shrimp, which was $61 for 48 large pieces, and they were a hit! Our whole party loved them. Everyone kept asking where we got it from. Heads-up if you're ordering catering: they do require a 50% deposit, which is totally fair. This was our first time ordering from The Wok, but thanks to the great service and positive feedback from our guests, it definitely won't be the last!

    Counter area

    Walking into this brightly lit space was quite refreshing. The ladies at the counter offered a friendly greeting as I checked out the menus. I found this restaurant after perusing Yelp for Chinese food, which I was craving. It appeared brand new but was told that it has been here for about a year. It is part of a pod of restaurants that seem to share one building but are different ethnically -focused restaurants. The Wok is on the backside of the building. The menu contained the usual offerings by protein - seafood, chicken, beef, pork and vegetables too. The options allow for any entree to become a combo for an additional $4 Making one's meal a combo adds a cup of soup, a choice from two appetizers,and a side of pork fried rice, vegetable chow Mein, steamed vegetables or white rice. I was very impressed with this option because I have not been frequenting Chinese restaurants because the cost of an entree, rice, and a veggie dish has been trending between $30 - $35.This had become too much for me, a retired person n a fixed income. Another option is the Daily Lunch Special served between 11 - 3 every day but Sunday. It includes soup, and two of the four previously cited sides. I got the salt and pepper spare ribs lunch with white rice, and steamed vegetables with hot and sour soup. The portion was very generous. The spare ribs were seasoned well and tender. The veggies included zucchini, broccoli, carrots, celery, onions, and bell pepper. Though nicely steamed, there was very little seasoning tasted. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and am already planning a return visit with my niece for our monthly lunch outing. I noticed that they offer one of my favorite shrimp dishes; Salt & Pepper Head/Shell on Shrimp Freshly Brewed Teas - including Arnold Palmer and hot green and Jasmine teas as well as all fountain drinks are offered with free refills; however, refills must be requested at the counter. There is a sign in the counter that I think all of us may want to be more mindful of in these days of rising costs and greater difficulty for small businesses - Cash Preferred! If possible, and especially when dining with small businesses, let us help them and ourselves by keeping businesses like this around by paying cash whenever we can. I am excited about my next visit which will be soon.

    General Tso Chicken bowl, extra spicy.
    Peggy G.

    Yelpers always with the good recommendations. DEEEEEElicious authentic Chinese food. Mostly takeout but accommodates 6-10 eat-in guests. Gracious with allergy restrictions. Super sweet little spot in an area with many ethnic eating choices. Was hit with a hunger about 4:30 and beat the dinner rush. 10/10 come back often for us. Hubs had hot hot hot General Tso bowl. I had combo Yakisoba. So satisfying.

    James H.

    The Wok was a pleasant surprise. The menu has something for everyone and is massive. I opted for the general tso chicken lunch special that comes with 2 sides and soup for $14.xx. A good deal for the amount of food you get. The chicken were huge chunks and sauce was tangy/sweet. The steamed veggies were nice. Service was friendly and nice. Parking lot

    It was great! I am always looking for great Chinese food and found another spot around the Arden Area in Sacramento, flavorful Chinese food with a cool vibe, it's called The Wok! We ordered the bowl option with General Chicken and chow mein, and another combination platter with garlic chicken, chow mein, a pot sticker, and hot and sour soup. It was so good and so tasty! The chicken was perfectly crispy, with plenty of flavor, generous portions and had that delicious charred, high-heat taste that makes you feel like it just came straight out of the wok. The chow mein was savory, with a nice balance of noodles and veggies, and the hot and sour soup was a little tangy to my liking. The counter person was amazing, so friendly and attentive! Since we decided to eat there, they checked on us often. The restaurant itself is small but clean and welcoming. Seemed like they were busy with to go orders. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever on this side of town. Highly recommend!

    General tso's chicken lunch entree

    Second time eating here. Great portions and yummy food as always! The food always comes out piping hot and fresh! Green beans: Must have! Eat it quick while it's hot and crispyyy General Tso's chicken: So flavorful and tender Chow mien: One of my favorite dishes here. I could eat multiple plates of this stuff. Cream cheese wontons: Tastes like homemade!

There were even fried whole cloves of garlic which complimented the spareribs well. The batter on the spareribs was not too thick and was crispy even though it was coated with sauce. Service was adequate as the workers refilled water and offered a plastic cup for my child. I noticed there was an emergency exit, however there were chairs blocking the door and the door was locked shut with a metal bar going across. The illuminated exit sign above the door was misleading as this door would not be suitable as an emergency exit. If there were an emergency it would be hazardous for everyone in the restaurant to leave through the front door in a chaotic scramble that would result in additional injuries/death.

The good - my order was prepared quickly, and the amount of fish was very generous. The fish was tasty and spicy. The house chow mein that I also ordered had decent (read below) flavor. The bad - the salt and pepper fish had a great batter, but I feel they're battered too much, and the actual fish piece inside is tiny. My house chow mein didn't have a single shrimp in it. Lots of beef, which was good, but the char smell from the beef was the only thing you could taste on the noodles. It's almost like the chef cooked the noodles on whatever the beef was cooked on. The noodles we had ordered from here a month ago had very good flavor, but not a one note beef flavor. There was a lot of beef and chicken in the house chow mein, but zero shrimp means the cook either forgot or they didn't have them and thought it would be ok to add more beef. Either way, I paid extra for my selection, and didn't get it. Am I Pissy? Yes. Am I honest? Also a Yes. 3 stars this trip, probably my last.

Honestly, it was like being in a flow state between the garlic noodz and the green beans alone; highkey could eat multiple plates of just those two back to back to back l o l The siu mai was also delish but the other two dishes were somehow better. The soy/vinegar and chili oil they give for dipping is so good and hits that perfect note between salty/tangy/spicy. Prices are fair for the quality and I would love to go back and try more of their vegetarian options! I appreciate that this a spot that both vegetarians and their omnivore friends can go~ Have to go back to try their desserts including the egg tarts that sold out!

Its been so bad the past decade that we decided to give it another chance. Different management, different chefs, different everything basically. The fried flounder was so fried that I could not separate the bones, not only that, you could barely get any meat out of it. Our table had nine people and they only provided 6 buns with our peking duck. I thought they didn't have enough steamer space and was going to bring more but nope. The shrimp in their salted egg pumpkin and shrimp dishes was overcooked and their deep fried pig intestines were extremely stinky. Their portion sizes downsized like crazy and it's so bad that we didn't even finish any of the dishes. The best dish was a stir fry cauliflower dish that I could make at home. It was supposed to come with pork, but I only saw itty bitty pieces of meat. The service was also super bad and slow. I was eating their fried rice and bit on a piece of broken yellow plastic with multiple sharp points. Prior to that, I was feeding my toddler the rice so THANKFULLY it didn't go to him. When we told the server, which was an older lady with glasses and bangs, she's like oh... then she took it to the kitchen and pretended that nothing had ever happened when she came back out. Shes been there for years, and I remember seeing her when we were regulars. I wasn't expecting anything, except for some accountability. I used to love this place so it's pretty sad to see how much it went downhill.... This business needs to be scrapped. The current 3 stars is giving them too much credit and it must have been due to when they used to be good, in the past.
