    Got takeout here! Tried the honey walnut shrimp, mango chicken, war wonton soup (super fresh wontons with bok choy), beef and broccoli and more! Everything was great and food was ready on time. Only note is the mango chicken and honey walnut shrimp are very similar sauce. Both delicious but if you are looking for options next time will be trying the orange chicken!

    Pho

    I was introduced to this play by a coworker a few years back. Been coming by for lunch ever since. The portion of food is crazy large. I've brought other coworkers here and many of them will have to tap out and bring their lunch home. I am totally a creature of habit and the owner knows it too...when my coworker and I stop by for pho Friday he already knows what we wanted. Pho Dac Biet with some egg rolls. Friendly service and great food. Can't beat that combination.

    Vermicelli Pork and Egg Roll Bowl - Also had Shrimp
    Samantha D.

    Stumbled upon this place while driving up to Huntington Beach on a Saturday afternoon and it's a small mom and pop shop off the 405. We got there around 2pm and we were the only customers. The portion sizes here are HUUUGE!!! For a party of 3 we family styled it and ordered 2 Vermicelli Bowls (with Pork, Shrimp, Eggrolls), Popcorn Chicken, and Spring Rolls (Pork and Shrimp). This was wayyy too much food, we finished 1.5 of the vermicelli bowls, the spring rolls, and we actually ended up barely touching the popcorn chicken and taking it to-go. All this food plus 2 Vietnamese Coffees, and 1 Lemon Drink was under $100 including tax and tip. That's nuts and unheard of these days. Highly recommend this place, it's a great place to get a solid meal for cheap!

    Honey Honey-Glazed Walnut Shrimp

    Good was delicious. Was craving Honey Walnut Shrimp and searched Yelp and found this place. Owner was nice and friendly easy to have conversations with. Food was amazing and quick serving. We ordered Spring Rolls (the peanut sauce is flavorful and delicious), Honey Walnut Shrimp and Shrimp fried rice. Honey walnut shrimp was amazing and crunchy. Made fresh. Shrimp fried rice was delectable. Took leftovers home and added an egg for breakfast the next day. Win! Win

    Pho with Rare Brisket
    Connor S.

    A locals gem and a true staple of the community. Best broth in Orange County and enough cannot be said to show how clean this place is. The place is a piece of home where the owner remembers who you are and always makes an effort to make you feel comfortable.....in the middle of summer we've been here twice in one week...if that doesn't say enough. The pho is the reason we come, but the aero dynamic fashion and hygiene of the owner is why we stay. Man is quick with it from the kitchen and offers awesome service while also ready for a workout at any time. We will continue to be coming to wok-in as one of our regular staples and appreciate the detail that is taken to keep this place spotless and delicious.

    Fish in garlic sauce - meh
    Hema K.

    Tucked in a corner of an old strip mall, lies Wok-in. Shared parking lot. We got here on a weekday for lunch around 1230pm and was able to get table for 2. Service was slow and hard to get attention. The place was not packed however there were to-go orders being processed at the same time. We ordered spring rolls (you can request to modify the ingredients), pho and fish in garlic sauce (a few reads from yelp reviews mentioned this dish). But it was overpowering with too much sauce. However in my experience it was ok, nothing extraordinary. What I loved was the pho broth. Protein was less but the flavor was amazing. The fresh spring rolls were a delight with the dipping sauce. Perfect crunch to it. I wasn't a fan of the slow service and the fact that the server/cashier/food runner (all are the same person) was wearing a sleeveless outfit while rushing around. Just not hygienic. Update: You can run all the show you want but if your attitude towards hygienics is less important then I will choose to be comfortable else where. This is based on the business reply I received.

    Update. I have coarse curly hair. There was short straight hair in my food. Check your cameras when I literally had to pull the hair out of my throat. Your response is a perfect example of your customer service. I wasn't done eating we were about to order more food. I have doctor diagnoses and pictures to prove my experience. WORSE EXPERIENCE!!!! First when I was there I found a piece of hair in my PHO. Then when I told the waiter, he was nothing short of rude and hostile. Then the worst part is my poor son ended up with food poisoning from this place. He lost 10 lbs in the last 5 days. I will never come back here again.

    Do they offer delivery? If yes, what service for delivery? Doordash, GrubHub, Postmates, Uber Eats...?

    No, they don't. Might've changed though during quarantine

    Are they open for take out right now during the current situation?

The garlic noodles were super flavorful, perfectly cooked, and had that rich garlicky kick without being overpowering.

Portions were generous, and you could really taste the quality of garlic in each bite. Definitely one of those meals where you're already thinking about your next visit as you're finishing up.

The lady at the counter was nice, taking our order with a smile, then repeating it for accuracy. The garlic chicken breast sandwich did not disappoint. It's just as I remembered it... tasty, moist, & even more delicious w/ the green sauce. The garlic noods w/ bulgogi was a new try for us; we usually get it w/ shrimp. It was yummy, but afterwards I felt like the meat was too salty. The peach & lychee green tea is my fave, while the hubbs enjoyed his Thai tea. Soo good!

The ambiance was so sheik and romantic with lots of little fun touches around the intimate space. It literally sparkled. The service we got from Anthony & Jasmine was impeccable and they were genuinely happy to be there and talk with us. The food was fantastic. Starting with the Chicken & shitake dumplings- I was immediately transported to the realms of heaven and it was an flavor journey I won't forget. Followed by the coco pork dish and then the shaky shaky beef. I got so full on everything, I could only manage a bite of the beef dish, but they were all so very good and I'm happy I have some leftovers now. The drinks were great. I was really wanting a tequila cocktail, (which they no longer had on the menu) but Anthony was able to make me the Jade pendant with tequila instead and it was so good. My husband had the Hattori Hanzo and was raving about how good it was. We both had our own Bye Felicia cocktails as a nightcap (take on classic penicillin). We died happy at that point. That was our favorite. Only could have been better with some homemade ginger candy like the menu said.

Thank you Nathan for one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! We will definitely be back for more.
