In town on business and wasn't feeling well. I just wanted a big bowl of soup, and Wok n Roll delivered! I also was really excited about a sit-down Chinese place, because I just don't see that very often. There are a tables, but it's most definitely mostly a takeout place. I would not go expecting ambiance or a "dining experience ": most of the tables appeared to not have been bussed in a while, plasticware, and sodas in cans. The gal at the register did her best at service while also handling the super busy takeout business! The large Wonton /Veg soup was huge! Sooo many vegetables, which was exactly what I needed. Sadly I do not recommend the ribs though. Also huge, and they were unfortunately dry. But I shaved them off the bone and added them in my soup leftovers. I would return if I'm ever in the area again. read more

A hole in a wall in a strange strip shopping center like complex. Extremely weird building. Park up top, not in the garage. The entrance/exit is oddly shaped and you will scrape the bottom of your car exiting. Has inside and outside seating but this is more a to go spot. My son and I came in on a Friday for lunch before going to the Capitals game downtown. Luckily, we were still in time to order the lunch special with is entree, choice of rice (white or fried) and a spring roll. Drinks not included. Drinks are bottle soda, water, beer and etc... Service was good. The chefs seem to be older Chinese dudes. I guess that's a good sign. They freshly prepare the food as you order. Takes about 4-5 minutes. My son got beef n broc with fried rice & spring roll. He devoured it. That means it's good. He says 9/10 I got the Hunan Chicken with white rice & spring roll. The food was piping hot. The veggies were cooked nicely and still had some crunch. The chicken was cooked in a slightly spicy soybean chili paste sauce. Was salty & little sweet 'n spicy. The spring roll was the highlight. Hot and crispy with veggies AND SHRIMP? Yes shrimp. Tasted fresh. Not frozen. Overall, it was a very good experience. 2 entrees and 2 drinks plus 2 fortune cookies for $32.00. Not bad at all. The food was very tasty. read more

For the cost and convenience this place certainly delivers. There is comfortable seating and a clean, larger than average restroom towards the rear. Whatever Muzak they are playing is not annoying either. If you have the time, I recommend eating in as the food comes out hot and fresh. You pay before sitting and it takes less time than most other take out places as this is primarily a take out place. read more

The Chinese food just doesn't hit the spot. While it was impressive to see vegetarian Singapore noodles on the menu (very rare to find!), they were a miss - bland and greasy. The vermicelli noodles were dripping in sesame oil and sloppily coated in chili paste, overpowered by curry powder and lacking in spices. The Bean Curd Homestyle was a total miss, the veggies were swimming in this clear liquid sauce and made for terrible leftovers. The fried Bean Curd tofu was tough and hard to chew. The food had no flavor. Threw the food down the garbage disposal the next day (and I hate wasting food!). The fried rice was flavorless and didn't taste fresh. Hubby enjoyed General Tso's Chicken. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish? read more

I was waiting for my tires to get fixed at the next door Goodyear store so I went out to get some Chinese food here. I was greeted by the staff and seated quickly. I ordered the typical General Tso's chicken and it was served in 5 minutes! The serving size was really huge for one person that I had to take some home. It came with broccoli and rice. It was seasoned well and I would love to come back again. The place was a great place to relax for lunch and also after work. They have other typical Chinese-American food selections too. read more

I received an Uber Eats gift card and discovered that there were lots of new restaurants I've never tried because they weren't associated with DoorDash, and Wok N Roll was one of them. I'm a creature of habit so I said let me try my go to healthy Chinese food routine (Shrimp and Mixed Veg w/ egg drop soup) and see what Wok N Roll's version delivers. WELL! I was pleasantly surprised as the egg drop soup had a nice surprise of fresh corn kernels in it and the flavor overall was perfect, in addition to the Shrimp w Mixed Veg having a nice addition of Napa cabbage with lots of shrimp and delightfully mild flavor to the sauce. Even the crispy noodles they sent to go with the soup were different than the ones you typically get. I think I may have found a new favorite Chinese takeout spot! OH and the delivery was right on time as promised. read more

This place is awful to veterans with disabilities. I have a service dog and was told to leave because they don't allow dogs. I explained that he was a service dog and was told I could eat outside on the sidewalk with my dog. I told them that was illegal and they told me to leave. What a horrible thing to do to anyone with disabilities. No one deserves that kind of treatment. read more

My wife My wife and I were looking for good Asian food as our favorite place closed a while back. Frankly this place was mid at best. The crab Rangoon was over cooked and soggy, quite a feat. The chicken and vegetables were supposed to be in a light sauce but instead it was overly thick with corn starch or arrowroot. Overall, nothing to write home about. The Hunt gor goid take out continues. read more

Found two long curly black pubic hairs in my entree. Today. Sadly this place offered the best hot and sour soup I have found in the DMV since Peking Gourmet. I cannot recommend a place where pubic hairs appear buried in the food. One at a time. Hairy beef special. read more

Wow the orange chicken lunch special is good here. The chicken is cooked korean style (bonchon, kyochon, etc.), and the orange sauce is not overwhelmingly sweet and salty relatively compared to Panda Express. Really amazing and it's a sleeper on the menu. Don't overlook it as it is the go-to dish here, in my opinion. My wife always gets the pepper steak. And the shrimp egg rolls that come with this is perfect (for Sammy!) I've been to this location a few times while going with my wife to her doctor visits for pregnancy. Our little baby Sammy is letting Mommy know he likes it as well! Took a few visits, but this place has won me over. My wife loved it from day one. dmo out read more

All around poor quality. Dumplings barely cooked an inedible. Was searching for a new place, but this won't be it. One and done.

Important notes: Had take-out, did not eat at restaurant Best attribute: They were very quick and the service was excellent Worst attributes: The wanton soup was very bland and the soup broth didn't have much flavor, too watery! Other attributes: Ordered the LoMein, the noodles were very oily, but overall it was a good lunch; but had better. read more

This was our "go to" Chinese takeout place. We typically order the same food each time we go. I was highly disappointed in the fried wontons. I paid $13 for two orders of fried wrappers. It barely stuffing. I literally couldn't taste the pork or any sort of meat. You will see in the pictures what I found when I pulled the wonton apart. What I saw or tasted couldn't be possibly be called stuffing. This was one of our favorite appetizers and have ordered it on numerous occasions. Though the rest of the food (general Tso, triple delight and beef broccoli) we ordered tonight was to its normal quality I couldn't help but feel cheated. It's not the type of business practice I expect from a restaurant that we and the community supported throughout this pandemic. I hope this was a fluke and that I was the only one with skimpy wontons. I honestly don't know if we'll be go back. read more

Can't say I really enjoyed our experience. The food wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either. We ordered for delivery and we may have been pushing their 3 mile delivery radius since the delivery guy had no clue where we lived even with the exact address. I had to explain where I lived and how to get here just like pre-GPS days. He came earlier than the estimated time though. When he arrived he told me it was his first time at my building. I tip him generously for the trouble. General Tso Chicken was a monumental disappointment. As you can see, the 12 pieces of chicken was neatly arranged in 3 rows of 4. At $12 this immediately doesn't seem to be such a great value. Then there comes the taste; It was a bit sour and not as sweet as what I'm typically used to. Singapore Noodles - The strong curry and spicy flavors kick you pretty good; however, after shoveling in forks full of this stuff into our mouths, we realize the small shrimp that was used had a completely mushy texture. It was pretty disgusting. Plus the meat used in it also had a funky taste to it. Triple Delight - was not great, but not terrible. Aside from not really tasting like other places, we didn't have anything to complain about like we did with the other dishes. The fried rice was a joke. Just colored rice with tiny specks of scrambled eggs, not even one piece of vegetable. Probably won't order here again but wouldn't necessarily discourage others from trying any of the other dishes. read more

Very mediocre Chinese food. The dumplings are thick dough balls--inedible. Orders confused so other options.

Food court quality Chinese food with all the plastic essentials. Chicken with Broccoli and Hunan Chicken were bland and salty.

Post pandemic, everyone is charging obscene delivery fees and adding mandatory tips. But not here - the delivery fee is so reasonable I tip generously in appreciation of that fact alone. I used to frequent this establishment years ago when I worked close by. Recently decided to see if they deliver and it was the best experience. My food came so fast, it was still piping hot. And, amazingly tasted exactly the same and was as delicious as I remembered. One order didn't have an item and they brought it so quickly and included a drink for free which was a nice touch. There's a reason this place has been around for decades. read more

Wok N Roll has been a popular Chinese restaurant in McLean for quite some time. They recently expanded their smaller space into a new space with much more room for dine in patrons. I would recommend wok n roll for anyone in the area looking for fast and tasty Chinese food (especially during lunch). The food is nothing amazing but it's definitely tasty. If you come during lunch time go for their lunch special list which comes with a sizeable portion of your entree of choice with rice and an egg roll. My favorite dishes here include: general tso's chicken, triple delight (chicken, beef, and shrimp), sweet and sour pork, and the shrimp fried rice. You'll find that the place is often very busy during lunch time so feel free to place your order ahead of time if you're in a rush. I never wait much longer than 15 minutes for my food both in person and over the phone. read more

I wish there was an option to leave no stars. The food lacked taste and seasoning. Unfortunately you pay for the meal before you sit down. I couldn't get a refund so I had to choose something else which also lacked seasoning. The kicker to this is the hot sauce lacked flavor as well. How can hot sauce lack flavor? I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone? read more

METAL IN MY DUMPLING!! I give this place no stars. Customer service is bleak, the food I got was eh, and well.... I found a shard of METAL in my dumpling. Immediately stopped eating and after work (got food during my lunch break), I took it over with evidence in hand. The young lady at the front seemed more shocked than what I could make out is the manager. He said, 'it looks like the metal from the packaging' referring to where the dumplings were. Yes.... But this piece of metal was INSIDE the dumpling! My gum still hurts from bitting down on it, and God knows where that piece of metal came from. I can only hope I don't get an infection. After taking the evidence over, he just looked at me like a deer in the headlights. The young lady there was apologetic, and they didn't do anything from there. I didn't ask for anything, don't want anything but for them to be careful, and that's how we left it. read more

3.5 stars rounded down... This really isn't a four star place This is an above average carryout spot below average ethnic restaurant. This review is for delivery only. We got the Sichuan shrimp, general tsos chicken, dumplings, crab Rangoon, hot and sour soup, sweet and sour shrimp and Singapore noodles.... We were hungry! The food came as described, quickly, portions were large and the food hit the mark for Chinese carryout. -The Sichuan shrimp was super tasty. -The noodles were great (though pretty heavy and greasy) the taste of curry was really enjoyable. -the soup was awesome (and really inexpensive) -The general tsos was on point as well, the chicken was crispy and the breaking wasn't over done. -The dumplings and crab Rangoon were average (I think everyone just gets these frozen from the same vendor). -The sweet and sour shrimp left much to be desired. Go with the general tsos if you're craving a sweet americanized dish. read more

We drove by it a number of times (we live down the street) and always wondered. Finally my wife suggested that rather than cook, we should find the menu we found in our mailbox and call in an order. The order was just three dishes and the person told us that it would be ready in 20 min. Fifteen minutes later I walked in the door, told the counter person my last name and within a minute I was handed my order. Once we got home we dove in to find everything delicious- amazingly delicious and hot too ! This place is great and well worth it! read more

I have left 5 star reviews for wok 'n roll Chinese cafe before... but they deserve to get 5 stars ALL the time!

They never disappoint- now I have a new favorite to order here! Keep up the outstanding quality of food! read more

I tried this place for the first time tonight after my favorite local place closed. House of Fortune used to be my go to place, but sadly, they closed last month. Ever since, I have been struggling to find a place that will meet the expectations of that place. Sadly, tonight, this place just didn't get the job done. The dumplings were definitely lacking in filling... It had more dough than filling, which was definitely disappointing. The Singapore rice noodles were bland... very little vegetables and like 3 pieces of chicken for the WHOLE CONTAINER! My friend got the fried rice and this place somehow managed to make the fried rice flavorless.... I'm in no hurry to go back.. it looks like my hunt for good Chinese in McLean will have to continue read more

This was our go-to Chinese in McLean for years. It was once really fresh and good, but the quality recently just fell off a cliff. I've tried a half a dozen former favorites and now they are all unrecognizable glop. It's like they're getting it out of a can and heating it up. It's just inedible now, low quality ingredients, greasy, slimy, and mushy. I think their chef quit and the dishwasher took over. Ugh! read more

Used to get lunch here two or three times a week. Took a break for a couple of months. We came back today. The dishes were all under cooked and watered down! We got carry out. She wanted the food back. Told her we threw it out which was the truth. I even called her that I was coming back for a refund. She never said bring the food! So, I get all kinds fo push back when I'm there. Never got a simple I am sorry about your lunch. Constant push back and I didn't cave. She finally gave m my money. Still no apology. We will never ever dine here again!! read more

Located on the corner of Beverly and Old Dominion is Wok "N" Roll. I had not been here in a couple of years. I remember going a while ago, but it didn't seem too bad then. Well tonight I was in the area and I figured I'd go in and try them again. The inside is very small, so doing take out is better during the lunch rush. There is seating outside though. If remember correctly, it can get very hot in there because the stoves are right out front and you can see your food being cooked. There is no real décor inside, so don't expect a fancy setting inside. Well as usual I picked the Hot and Sour Soup and Kung Pao Chicken, since I haven't been here in a couple of years, I just didn't remember. To be honest I think this place might have gone under new management. Don't quote me on that. In the past, people use to speak Chinese to me when I came in. Today, I didn't get it, so I though nothing of it. Then the strange thing, I head some of the people behind the counter speaking Korean, I guess that's why I didn't get spoken to in Chinese =) I only heard a couple, but not too many. Then looking at the ABC Manager list, some of the names look Korean again. Then again, I was tired and maybe I was just dreaming the whole thing. =) Anyhow now to the food. I saw the lady scooping my soup out, right there I knew I was doomed for. That was some of the lightest color soup I have ever seen. Oh well, we'll see how it goes. I got everything to go. Total for soup and kung pao was over 12 bucks. Geeze, then again, this is McLean, what do you expect =) I arrived to my destination and I took one sip of the soup and said pass. I tasted like hot water with a hit of vinegar. There were other things floating around in there, like mushrooms, eggs, and so on, but I just could get past the broth. Next came the kung pao chicken. My first observation was, too much junk inside. I've never seen so much green peppers in my life. The dish itself was pretty bland. I think the dish was overwhelmed by the green pepper taste. I don't remember the food tasting like that in the past. Maybe they were having an off day with the kung pao. The soup from what I remember from a few years wasn't good either. I talked with a few people that I met up with and they all said similar things. The food has changed over the years. Anyhow, I'll go back and try them again, to be honest, I really want to see if I was dreaming the Korean thing. read more
