I love this place. Their lunch special is an amazing deal. And they have a full vegetarian menu. For $10 you get soup, salad, fried rice, an entree, egg roll and fortune cookie. Everything taste great and the owners are friendly. I go here every time I'm in Redlands around lunch time. read more

Wok In Cafe - Salad and Hot and Sour Soup - Chinese Near Me - Redlands, California

See all

The Wok In Cafe is a gem in Downtown Redlands. This small family owned Chinese restaurant is serving up good, hearty and healthy Chinese food. They do not use MSG and they have several vegetarian options for those who need them This family-owned and operated restaurant is consistently good. The prices are reasonable and the portions are hearty. Try the sizzling rice soup, and the Szechuan chicken. I recommend getting the family style meals that come with an appetizer, soup and two main dishes. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. The food is prepared quickly and it never disappoints. Parking, like everywhere in DTR is at a premium. Find some on State Street or around the corner in one of the shared lots. read more

I don't even know where to start as to how horrible this food is. No salt. No soy sauce. Not even MSG to give this flavor. These two bowls were almost $20 for the lunch special. I have no idea if it's inflation or something, but this is just horrible. Now, if this tasted amazing, I may have possibly paid it, assuming it was the ONLY thing open. But that's not the case. I got more bean sprouts than noodles. More broccoli than bland "teriyaki" chicken. And the most bland fried rice ever to be in the face of the earth. Bad. Bad all around. Would recommend going to the McDonald's down the street before you even eat this (mind you, I haven't eaten McD's in over a year). The fortune cookie was the best part. That says a lot. Stay away from this place! read more

Amazing food, best Chinese I've had in a long time! Can't wait to come back! I recommend the jalapeno chicken, amazing flavors and amazing service read more

Amazing good food love it. Lots of good choices can have spicy or not. Friendly service.

I've had better food at my cafeteria in middle school. The rice, chicken, and shrimp were all questionable. We had high hopes for this little place, but were not let down easy. Service was awful due to the lack of surprise or help when confronted with the food quality. Asked for the items we did not eat/ like to get taken off, but we were told it was supposed to be a pasty texture Panda express is gourmet in comparison, would not go back nor recommend. Posting such a bad review is out of character for me but I don't want anyone else in the pitfall. read more

The sweet-and-sour chicken lunch was just OK. Enough food to fill me up because it came with soup or salad, but for some reason it just didn't seem super fresh. I never heard them cooking in the back. All of a sudden my food just appeared. It was drowned in sweet-and-sour sauce, so much, so that it was all in my rice which I was not a fan of. The service was fast and friendly. The hot and sour soup was different than any I had ever had. I will definitely try this place again, but I will order something different. read more

Wok In Cafe - Sweet-and-sour, chicken, lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Redlands, California

I was parked in front of this Resto so I decided to give it a try . They just opened for lunch , entrance was not so inviting , the hostess stand had torn up paper signs and there was that looks like a scraping tool on the floor. I was greeted by the server and got seated. I ordered the orange chicken from the lunch special. The runny sauce was tasty but the battered chicken was not as how I expected it to be . Looks like it was frozen since chicken was so dry inside the almost crunchy hard batter. I wasn't able to eat any good pieces of chicken .. I just wish it had really chicken pieces instead of just seems like more batter pieces and a sliver of chicken. I hope they try to eat what they serve so they'll improve on their menus. read more

Food was delicious !! The Mongolian beef plate was my favorite. And the service was great and pretty fast.

I loved coming here with my family. It was our first time coming to this Chinese restaurant. Everything we had was delicious. The service was great and friendly service. I would definitely come back. read more

Wok In Cafe - N13 Shrimp Lo Mein - Chinese Near Me - Redlands, California

This is a small hole in the wall Chinese restaurant that has a cute old school ambiance to enjoy a nice quiet meal. The service was great during lunch time with half of their tables occupied. The staff were friendly and attentive & appetizers were brought out pretty fast. Their lunch specials are a great price & their food wasn't too salty nor saucy. The orange chicken was more on the crispy side & would've liked it more spicy. Otherwise everything else we ordered was great. read more

I had the rose milk tea and the banana milk to start. I really liked the flavor, especially the banana milk, so I ordered food. The food: I chose to evaluate something familiar. I was pleasantly surprised at how the food brought me feeling. Their chicken is breaded, but not too thickly. It is well cooked, and the flavor is great. The orange sauce had a good balance between spicy (if you ask, for it, and mine was extra spicy) and sweet. The orange flavor does not overpower the chicken, which is moist without being greasy. The dish tastes great by itself or with rice for added texture (the flavor is the chicken). Dine-in or take-out? I spoke with the owner and learned that they have been here for 7 years. They do not do delivery because the apps charge their customers more when trying to place an order. Instead, they ask everyone to call in an order and pick up since they lack a delivery service. I am placing a large pick-up order for anime movie night with my friends, and I can't wait for them to try it. Anecdotal side note: I grew up on State Street in the 2000s, and this brought me back to middle school when we used to have family dinner night at a Chinese restaurant, Ichiban. (I don't see any more as much has changed here over the decades.) While the café style ambiance here is charming and modest, the food is much better than the Ichiban restaurant I remember from 20 years ago. This is the perfect local business and family owned restaurant to enhance your dinner night or cater for your event. read more

Wok In Cafe - C12 Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Redlands, California

I recently made a return trip here with my in-laws and something was amiss. I was telling them that there was average Chinese food available in Redlands and decided to take them there for lunch. We walked into a very busy restaurant and were seated immediately. What caught our attention was the lunch specials because they were ridiculously inexpensive-- about $8 to $10 for what seemed to be a full meal. The lunch specials even included soup, salad, and a choice of white rice or fried rice. I opted for Kung Pao shrimp with fried rice. However, the food came almost immediately, almost as if the food was premade and sitting around waiting for someone to plop on a plate. The salads ended up being shredded lettuce with some thousand island dressing drizzled on top. The soup? It was a dark yellow color masquerading to be egg drop soup. The Kung Pao shrimp was not made with fresh shrimp. And the fried rice you ask? It was nothing but white rice in soy sauce; there wasn't even any meat or vegetables! The worst part was that my mother-in-law got food poisoning afterwards... Definitely not a good meal with the in-laws! read more

This place used to make a delicious shrimp fried rice, now it's just a pile of rice paste, there's no taste to it and just tastes horrible. However, their dumplings are some of the best I've tried and are actually good in size. read more

Crab Wontons and Egg rolls are the best in town, hands down here. The noodles are my personal favorite they aren't all stuck together, or oily like other places! read more

I had a business trip and had a chance to visit for the first time. I like the decor, and like the food better. Kung Pao Chicken was my favorite, I ordered this dish in every Chinese restaurant I went, this place is definitely among those that I like best. I also ordered seafood, it's good, but didn't surprise me. I spilled the drink by mistake, the server quickly helped us to move to another table. Not sure if I will have chance to visit again, but in general it's a great place and I had a very good experience. read more

Best place ever! Great food great service great prices! Ambiance is also nice, right in downtown. read more

I mean I guess they get 1 star for effort? The hot and sour soup tasted like they used the base of another soup and just made it spicy and sour. The "fried rice" was bland and super plain, no veggies that you'd normally see just soy sauce. My mandarin beef was alright but the sauce tasted like it came out of a packet. Overall the service was nice and I guess maybe that's why they get at least 1 star? I wouldn't try to come back to this place though read more

Absolutely delicious. Kung Pao Chicken and Beef the best we have had in a long while. We ordered 3 entrees and 3 appetizers and drinks. All under $70 before tip when we have spent over $100 elsewhere. Next time we are back in town, we will be here. read more

Horrible. Food tasted liked cigarettes. Service was slow. And the inside was dirty. Would not recommend coming here.

Cooking 101 suggests that when you cook and serve for guests, you have to taste your own food before serving. This restaurant is the opposite. They have a set customer base and for most of them this place might be the best Asian Place in the world. When you serve any fusion or pure Asian cuisine, you need to make sure it does not loose taste after the wok cooking. Hot wok in cooking any Asian Stir Fry dishes is so very important. When I got served my dish, it was sloppy had no taste and most of all it was very salty. Service was good. I was asked for water atleast twice in my entire lunch experience. I am very anal about getting my food just right and making sure it actually tastes orgasmic. There are places that have that effect on me but definitely not this one. read more

Great Chinese food. The Sizzling Rice soup and sea food soup are outstanding. Love their Chicken Chow Mein and Chicken Chop Suey.

I ordered the shrimp fried rice and it was disgusting! The rice was mushy like baby food. It had little to no taste. I sent it back and still had to pay for it. They have a sign posted that states you have to pay even if it tastes awful. The customer service is horrible. I will never go back. read more

The chicken was NOT breast meat and had lots of fat! That is not okay for a restaurant like this one! I paid a lot of money and could not eat ANYTHING... except an egg roll. Even the rice wasn't good! Sauces were so bland it tastes like I was eating cup-o-noodles! I have the food to a friend and HE said it was bad and gave it to a homeless person. I should have known when I walked in and no one was there! read more

Beautiful family owned business with great food and a nice atmosphere! No MSG either! Highly recommended!

Fantastic Chinese spot! Delicious food, great service, and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend this spot for delicious Chinese cuisine!

First impression: when my family and I walked in, there was no one there to greet us. The sign said "please wait to be seated" and so we did just that. After some time a waitress finally came out from the back room and decided to sit us down. It took about 10 min for someone to finally come and take our order. The reason I gave this place 3 stars was because the price of the food was fair and the portions were a good size. However the service was not so good. Food wise; it was ok. I've had better food at Panda Express. read more

Asian person here. This is all just my opinion, but wow... this is bad. Like really bad. I wish them the best of luck and that they do very well. But, this is literally the worst Chinese food I've ever had. How do you mess up fried rice this badly?! This was way too greasy; no flavor; no salt; no pepper; no green peas; mystery meat; no soy sauce; no egg; no scallions. Used fresh rice instead of day old rice. They then added bean sprouts. Wrong, wrong, and wrong. All wrong. To their credit, they had very quick service. But that's probably because they forgot to include half the ingredients in the fried rice. read more

Food was amazing. Service was prompt and courteous. Had a nice family feel. Will definitely come back.

Food is not good. The service staff don't pay attention to customers. You have to interrupt her from playing games so she can get your bill. Not sure why people rate this place high. read more
