This place has the typical american chinese food to go menu. 2-item, 3-item, 4-item lunch menu. The food is what you'd expect - mongolian beef, fried rice, chow mein, etc. The problem is that they will try to rip you off by charging you for one more item than you ordered. I ordered 2 items. The chinese lady opened my to-go box and clearly saw that there were two items, but then charged me for 3. This has happened to me before at other "chinese to go" joints. I think it is part of the business model - systematically rip people off unless they say something. Fortunately for them, most people won't correct them. Unfortunately for them, this is no way to obtain repeat business. I will not come back. I just tried the chow mein and mongolian beef. VERY greasy. read more

I hadn't been here in so long that I forgot Tien Fu actually serves pretty decent steamtable Chinese. They have a choice of chow meins and a choice of fried rices -- usually steamtable places only serve the vegetarian kind, but Tien Fu has a BBQ pork fried rice option. The garlic chicken is spicy-sweet, and the chicken & string beans is actually flavorful. The only thing I don't like is they put your food in the microwave for a minute by default, but I guess it's OK -- the garlic chicken retained a modicum of crispiness. Get the two-item combo with fried rice and you're getting at least two meals' worth of food for $6.50 with tax. Hot & sour or egg flower soup is also included. Yay, cheap dinner. read more

I have been a regular customer for a few years now and I honestly cant say anything about this place. Food...wowzers! You get a fully packed to go entree box (literally!) they pack it in! Not like panda express or other places Ive been where they only fill it up to the separator level. They have a HUGE selection to choose from. My favorite entree is the chow mien (let me say.. The chow mein is soo good. So tasty!) ok let me go on.. So chow mein, garlic sautéed green beans, and generals chicken with hot & sour soup! But I've literally tried most them and never can say a bad thing about it! FYI, NO MSG! they post it right in front in neon lights. Price... Very good for the quantity you get! One entree can last me a whole day .. Staff & Service.. Never had an issue. Always nice and kind, never have i experienced rude staff. Every time I visit, theres never a line. And if there is, you get your food pretty damn quick! 5 stars! read more

They're back. All the entrees are back and they taste like they used to. Damn, I missed them.

Chinese food snobs relax, take a deep breath, we get it...okay? We know its not authentic Chinese. Leave us fat, lazy slob Americans and our unsophisticated palates alone. We like our bastardized Chinese food. This place definitely falls into that category. HUGE portions of good comfort food at prices that won't break the bank like they do at the likes of a Tao Tao. I recommend the salt and pepper chicken and walnut prawns. They don't have the walnut prawns on the steam table so they are made fresh to order. Good crispy coating on the outside with a sweet glaze. The salt and pepper chicken is basically fried chicken strips with a little spicy seasoning and jalapenos. Not too spicy that it can't be enjoyed by everyone though. The pork fried rice is good too. It can be a little dry at times but has a good flavor. Don't listen to the naysayers, it is much better than a Panda Express or Mr. Chow. If you want something in between chain restaurant fast food Chinese and sit down restaurant with a lazy susan in the middle of the table Chinese this is the spot to hit up. read more

Every time I go here the food isn't fresh :( maybe it is my wrong timing but it's been many times that I noticed the stale taste. The owner and the employees are nice and friendly but the food needs to be fresh, please. read more

Ah Wok's On. I remember this place from when I first tried it back in the early 2000s (wanna say 2004 earliest). With so many places to eat around the south bay, this was the place to go. It was miles better than anything Mr. Chau's could ever put out (how are they still around after all these years?!). Even after we left the south bay, we always came back here for food. Several of my favorites were always the salt and pepper chicken, General's chicken, beef broccoli, and pork fried rice. Let's not forget about that bomb hot and sour soup. Now that I'm back in the south bay again, this place seems to have lost its quality. I just had to stop by last week when I had the time. I was disappointed for the most part. The chicken in the salt and pepper side had less chicken and more batter, the beef in general was too damn chewy. It was almost as if I was eating blubber or something. The worst main was the fried rice though. My friend and I stopped by around 30 mins before closing and the rice tasted like it was going bad. I don't know how long it's been sitting there but it tasted a little funky. As if it's barely starting to spoil. I know that taste a little too well unfortunately. One of the things that I do like about Wok's On is that the price and amount of food you get is solid. Well as solid can be for the bay. I've been to places in the central valley (after searching and digging) that'll give you comparable portions that taste so much better AND FOR cheaper. Might give them another try some day. read more

I ordered delivery from them, so this review is solely based on the quality of their delivered food. Overall, below average chinese food, I won't order from them again. chicken chow mien (3/5) - This is a "safe" dish to order, it doesn't taste that good but it also doesn't taste bad. If you had to get something I would get this. Vegetable deluxe (3/5) - Just your average stir fried vegetables. I thought this was the second best dish because everything else was so bad. vegetable fried rice (2/5) - Under-seasoned. Good for people with high blood pressure. five-flavor chicken (medium spicy) (2/5) - not sure where the other 3 flavors were because I could only taste sweet and sour here. The chicken itself was very bland and overcooked. It was drenched with a layer of sweet and sour sauce that felt very cheap. Salt and pepper fish filet (1/5) - I'm pretty sure this dish was some left over from 2 weeks ago because the fish was so tough that I couldn't chew through it after 5 or so bite attempts (seriously, I'm not joking). I'm not sure if this is only for delivery, but if you can only learn 1 thing from this review then it would be to not order this dish. Overall, I would not order from this place again. read more

Delicious with great service. Ordered a lot of food and loved everything. String beans with garlic was definitely my favorite. I love how they have a lot of veggie options to chose from !! read more

Wok's On Express - Great veggie options - Chinese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

This is a solid three stars. It has pretty decent food, is cheaper, and the food is less oily than many steamtable Chinese restaurants. I would have to say that this is much better than Mr. Chau's - I started refusing to go there some time back. It is definitely not anything to write home about but if I am looking for a cheap, quick dinner that will give me leftovers for lunch the next day, this is it. It is really hard to beat two meals for a little over $6. read more

This place is one step above all the common chinese restaurants around the area. I had the orange Chicken and it is one of the best around, not too saucy or greasy. The Broccoli Beef is also very good, and the chow mein is AWESOME! Too many places have bland noodles, but not here! The prices are good, and they shove so much food into the containers that you'll worry about them busting open in transit! No msg is used here, either. If you're looking for a good bang for your buck, then this is the place! read more

Great place for good o' hood food. A 3 item humongous portions can feed 2 people. Start with Fried rice or chow mein or a combo of both, then walk down the line and choose your meats, veggies, and other goods. I have not experienced any MSG symptoms here and the food gots some good flavor to it. The owners are hard working people and always there afternoon/ night 7 days a week. I been coming here for years for a quick cheap eats. I usually get combo of fried rice and chowmein, with salt and pepper chicken and brocolli beef. You also get complimentary soup (egg flower or hot and sour) with your order. For 3 items + soup the total comes out to under $8. If you are eating it there, have them microwave it for you and it will taste piping hot and tastier. Wok on is definately better than Panda Express and Mr. Chau's. The fact that the owners are always there and the place is usually busy means the the food is consistently fresh. Having the owners there just ensures the business is clean being runned to the optimum potential. read more

Way way better then Panda Express !! Food is tastier and bigger portions !! Great value for money!! read more

Nope! Never again... cold food, no flavor. Chili didn't have flavor. Rice was dry... Mongolian beef left the roof of my mouth greasy.

Within the context of solid Chinese-American take out, I find this to be the best in the area. I prefer to the nearby and higher end P.F Chang's. I grew up with east coast style (american east coast mind you) Chinese and if you know what I'm talking about then you'll like Woks On. Fried rice has lots of veggies and little grease. Good 5 spice chicken dishes with all white meat and no filler to my eyes and taste. The perfect, "Uhg don't feel like cooking" take out or eat one place. read more

I cannot recommend Wok On. Food is mediocre at best. I was there when the outside temperature was 60 yet Wok On had the door propped open so the customer's food would get cold inside. I told the employee that it was cold inside and my meal would become cool so I asked to shut the door. She agreed, but instead of apologizing, she rudely replied: "I will just open it when you leave." So never eat at Wok On from October through April unless you want cold food; they do not have heat. The employees in the kitchen and behind the counter get their warmth from the kitchen, but they could care less about customers. Their soy sauce is high sodium; they do not offer low sodium soy sauce. read more

Good food but cleanliness lacks in this place. The girl at the counter is very corteous and nice, the guy that runs the register and handles the cash register also serves food no hand washing he gives you the change and goes and handles the next cust order fingers in the container and all yack!!!, we don't want to be treated like a petri dish (lab term for bacteria research) but like paying cust who deserve more than food. No trash can thus people are told to place their plates and containers on the counter it sits there till someone not too busy picks it up. An unappealing sight if you are eatig right by that area. Their parking lot is just a waste land no trash containers at all by the outdoor table area. read more

You can get decent, greasy, cheap, fast Chinese food here. It's just under $7 for the 3-item meal which is enough to feed two people. The 3-item almost overflows the Styrofoam they pack it in. If you get four items, the extra item is served in a separate (yes Styrofoam container.) Note: one of your items must be fried rice, steamed rice, or Chow Mein. Bonus: your meal includes a choice of soup: Hot & Sour, Wonton or Sizzling Rice. Hot and Sour is the best. Some of the food looks like greasy alien barf, but there are always a few choices that look (and taste!) fresh. It's a matter of how long it's been sitting there--and it's easy to tell from the coagulated skin that forms on many of the dishes--just avoid those ones. Weird: they offer to microwave your food for you. Seriously? Aren't those warmers supposed to keep it hot? My friends and I call this place "Delicious", not because it is delicious, but because that's what the sign on the store-front says. It should say mediocre cheap Chinese. But hey, you can feed 4-6 people here for under $20. (Share two 4-choice meals and it will easily feed 6 adults.) You can order online, and Wok's On delivers. read more

Among ghettotastic Chinese places, this one takes the cake for their staff asking me "so, you want it microwaved?" after obtaining your order. The rest is the usual "give them $7 and they'll give you a HUGE ton of food". But that's the problem, especially if you get their fried stuff, which loses their texture. -1 star for that, and the fact that it has to be microwaved. Other than that, it's pretty yummy stuff. read more

Borders more 2.5 but we frequent this place often and that's got to account for something!! I've never liked dining in the actual restaurant,- .... tables are usu. sticky, the chairs are dirty and well I hate to eat and clearly see the floors that seem to have been neglected for years especially under the tables, register etc. You'd think this would turn me off from ever coming back but the foods somewhat decent and packs enough that one plate could easily be shared and fill 3 hungry bellies or 1 hungy giant . o They offer to microwave/heat your food , I think they're trying to offer you a really really hot serving. Idk and Idc as I usually bypass the microwave anyways... foods fine, doesn't need additional microwaving. i Complimentary soup (egg drop or hot n sour) if you desire. Always quick. read more

Mediocre Chinese food ..... Panda Express is even better than here. Nothing tasted fresh from here. Food did not taste like it was made with love and care ...just slapped together. Won't go back. read more

Okay. I'm not big into fast-food Chinese, so I should have probably stayed away in the first place. Given that, here is my review... "Yuk!" read more

I like this place. I've been coming here for a few years now. Like most mentioned, the portions are huge. And they just added some new items! They actually have Mongolian Chicken (nice since I don't eat beef), which is hard to find at a fast food Chinese place. The rice is great and actually has pork or chicken in it (you can get veggie or steamed as well). My favs are the spicy shrimp, Mongolian Chicken and the salt and pepper fish. Oh, and the egg flower soup is VERY tasty. One note about the microwave: I asked about that and they told me that the ask that for a couple of reasons: one is that some people actually like super hot food, and the other is because some folks don't like their meal to cool off too much before they get it home. So it's an option, not a requirement. I don't do it myself. I actually prefer this place to Panda Express with one exception: Panda's chicken pot stickers are the bomb. If Wok's had those I would have given them 5 stars. read more

Rating: 2 1/2 barely 3 I've been eating at this place for a few years now. It's one of my roommates favorite Chinese fast food places. For the first year I enjoyed it too. It is hands down much better than Mr. Chau's or Panda Express. You get a lot of food. I usually have half for dinner and then the other half for lunch the next day. They have a large variety of dishes. The garlic chicken, lemon chicken, beef broccoli and Mongolian beef (only when the cook didn't go butt nutty on the onions - which is most of the time) are my favorites. Very nice selection to choose from. However, the last year I have stopped enjoying this place. The food has made me sick. Plus the guy, (I think he's the owner) that works the register with the hairy mole, makes me lose my appetite when I see him. Seriously folks... If you're going to work around food, pluck the damn thing! One last comment... How can they get away with selling Arizona drinks for $1.75 when the can is clearly marked 99 cents! I tried talking to them about that and they acted dumb. :/ read more

The food is good-not amazing but it satisfies a Chinese food craving. Big portions, several options, you can go half noodles, half rice and when I went they had two noodle options: with meat and without meat. They add on a free soup, egg flower or hot & sour (is that what it's called?) and there is a lot of seating. The staff is polite and quick. I like that they have water glasses available with a pitcher so you can easily refill it yourself. The parking lot is awful. Like 6 spaces and small and cramped. Which is the only reason I don't come that often. They offer to microwave the food, which seems weird to me because it seems they are admitting the food is cold from sitting out so long. I mean I know it was sitting out but shouldn't you pretend it was just cooked? read more

So glad i found this place, since its so close to my work. Sorry Panda, but you fellows just got trumped! Wok's On has a pretty awesome menu, and you can also do the pick and choose combo plates. They give huge, redonkulous servings that I've never finished in one sitting. Two people can share one plate no problemo. On top of all that, they give you hot and sour soup with each meal, and its fricken' amazing! So woks on in, and get yourself a hotplate! (sorry for the horrible pun...) read more

Customer Service: great! Staff: very friendly and polite! Food: very good! Best soup: hot and sour Best entree: mongolian beef price is great and the portions are LARGE! at least once a week I stop by to get my dinner. read more

Had lunch here a couple of days ago. It had the largest selection of dishes that I had ever seen in a fast food Chinese place. Being a fast food Chinese place I am unsure of what kind of ruler to measure it by. It's not gourmet. It's not trendy. It's just something that will fill up your stomach and then some. With that being said. I had to pork chow mein and black pepper chicken. It was delicious. My wife had chicken fried rice with salt and pepper chicken. The rice was delicious, but the chicken was old. Overall the experience was decent. I would probably stop by again if I am in the mood for quick Chinese food. read more

Wok's On Express - Black pepper chicken and pork chow mein - Chinese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I ordered General's Chicken as take-out from this location and the food was decent, pretty average. Their General's Chicken is not the General Tso's you would think of, but was still a pleasant surprise.. The biggest positive was that the order was ready to pick up very quickly. However, I do not think the food is worth the price. A takeout entree cost ~$10 dollars and did not include rice, which I had to order on the side for another ~$3 dollars. For pretty average Chinese take-out I think you will get a better bang for you buck at another restaurant. read more

Decent Chinese fast food restaurant. Their fried rice is pretty tasty as well as the egg flower soup. The only odd thing I've noticed is that after they put the food on the plate (from the steamer), it goes straight into the microwave. They put it in for a minute and then the food still comes out lukewarm! What's up with that? How cold is the food initially? Weird. read more

I was craving Chinese and didnt want to spend alot of time at lunch, so I decided to search Yelp for fast food Chinese. And I must say all the review here are 100% accurate. The parking situation is terrible. And the portions are HUGE. Although I think i must have got the owner lady, cuz my portions were not quite as large as the others I saw getting scoped out. I followed advice and asked mine not to be microwaved, and it was plenty warm. I got the hot and sour soup, and am not a fan. I may go as far to say I would prefer Panda Express at the Mall to this, and since I have never been to a Mr.Chows I will definitely try that before coming back here. read more

Nothing beats a hangover like a big box of chow mein from woks on. Tastiest in town. I can't think about it without my mouth watering!! (and the staff is really nice no matter how disheveled you may be) read more

Loads and loads and loads of food. That is the description that I give this place. Woks On's is the only place that I know that is generous with the portions of food that they give. Usually with Chinese fast food, they give you little amount of food for about 7 to 8 bucks. But with this place they load it up on the serving. They just stack it up on the chow mein and fried rice in the beginning. At first I just thought the noodles were really thick so my eyes were deceiving me. Ohhhh how worng I was, they really stack it up on the carbohydrates. Then I came to to think,since they gave me a lot of my main they'll probably give me a little bit of the sides. But they used huge spoons multiple times to dig out the sides and pile it up into your to go box or onto your plate. It is a beautiful site to behold. I usually have to order three sides when going to other Chinese fast food places, but here two is more than enough. Seriously it is a lot of food for 7-8 bucks and here's the catch the food here is actually really really really good. Everything tastes soo good here. I like tien fu garlic chicken, the mongolian beef, and the pepper-salt chicken. Now that sounds like the typical Chinese fast food choices, so why not expand my horizons, maybe one day I will but right now those three sides are my choices to go to. And here is abonus to this wonderful meal they add a side of soup to your meal. it comes with it! Wohhoo!! Win! Win! Seriously I think this place wants to get people to gain weight, well I welcome it because it is delicious and generous! Thank You! My Go to Chinese fast food place. =) read more

My husband recently moved to the area and we were looking for a good Chinese restaurant, so we decided to give this place a try. I really like that they give you a lot for your money and the flavor is pretty good for Chinese fast food. read more

If I could provide less than 1 star I would. First time eating at this place, & egg rolls are being made while also handling cash. Not to mention no one in the back kitchen is wearing a mask nor gloves, & the best part, got the worse food poisoning ever, was admitted to the ER because my family including toddlers were so sick. read more

Are you gonna seriously sit and cry about how horrible this place is? #1, you get what you pay for. If you want to pretend to eat "better" Chinese food and have a server serve it to you, go up the street to Tao Tao, which I must point out rates the same 3 stars as this little hole in the wall, get in and get out fast food place. #2, this place is always busy and they are always bringing out fresh food. I dont ever see them being chincy or shady. The microwave issue is a little different, but some people like their food piping hot and some don't. They do it for their to go customers, so the food will still be really hot when they get to their destination, I'm sure. Anyway, the food is bomb and the hot and sour soup is the best. #3, don't expect the worker ladies to be overly nice. They will hardly greet you and hardly make eye contact, but you get the same treatment at random "better" Chinese food places anway. Its a fast food line, they dont get tips... I wouldnt smile either. Sooooooo, if you are in this neighborhood and want some lunch, that will last a couple of days, come here. Its not bad at all. read more

I was sitting at Tacos Jalapa, which was next door to Wok's On...waiting for my order...staring at the neon Wok's On's sign...when suddenly I had an inkling for some salty chinese food. I figured I'd make it a mexican & chinese take-out night. I was a tad intrigued with this place. I walked in and was greeted by this friendly lady whom said, "If you want to try anything, we can give you a sample." "Huh?"...samples given out at a fast food chinese place? It was about $7 for three items, not including your usual rice/chow mien/chow fun. As I pointed at my items, I saw the lady piling in the food into the to-go container. Man-oh-man....when I say "pile"...she must have threw in scoops and scoops of the food. This thing is going to last four meals at least. At the end, she asked "Would you like your food microwaved?" "Huh? No." She continued, "What kind of soup would you like?" "Huh?" I asked, "Is it included?" She responded, "Yes." I guess heres a choice of hot & sour and the egg white soup that comes included w/your meal. As I dug into my mounds of food, I found the kung pao chix to be...not to bad and the mongolian beef to be so-so. Some pieces of the beef were tender, some were tough. Both were nicely spiced and had lots of flavor. Wooooook Oooonnnn!!! read more

I use to come here often when. I worked down the street. This is solid Chinese food and huge portions enough for a second meal the next day or to share with someone. They have microwaves. Yes, they do, reason is to make your food extremely hot, so by the time you get home, it'll still be hot. This is a mom and pops place and they make authentic take out.... not to many Chinese fast food places do except for places "like" Ranch 99. Many places cater to the western palate unlike Woks On. **** salt pepper chicken or fish fillets Crispy and just enough salt and jalapeño for taste **** Mongolian Beef Thick slices of tender beef and great heat that does not overwhelm the flavor of the dish. **** vegetable fried rice You can taste the breath of the dragon (hot wok). *** sweet and sour chicken Chicken are fried correctly unlike some places which dries out their chicken and their sauce is pretty universal - sweet and tangy. Enjoy! read more

Chow mein, mediocre Other hot tray foods.. edible, not great.. but not horrible. Sorta like that ex you "amicably" broke up with Hot and Sour soup.. not bad at all.. but my bowl was only half full! (optimist is me) Massive portions though, definitely impressed by that. God forbid you wanna eat this 2 days inna row, but you certainly could. In summary.. larger portions, cheaper and better than Panda Express, but most certainly not the most exciting Chinese food experience I've had. (Hey, I was hungry, lazy, and wanted to try something new & wasn't feeling up to driving 45 miles up to my favorite Chinese place in the city.. Hunan Cafe #2) Oh well, maybe someday I'll find amazing Chinese food in the south bay. read more

Is this place open yet? Will they ever open again? This is my favorite place for Chinese food, now I'm stuck going to king egg roll, me and my husband love this place hopefully opens soon. Btw the portions here are great not like Panda Express where you pay like $20 for a plate and drink and all you get is 4 pieces of meat and one scoop of rice and chowmein.. so please hurry Woks lol read more
