Possibly the best crab rangoon in town! Sesame chicken is great too!
However, the staff are somewhat rude and no substitutions allowed (Even when you offer to pay whatever it cost to do so).
Careful with the carry out containers. They don't shut well and sauce usually ends up everywhere.
I used to LOVE China Wok.
Until our take out melted through the Styrofoam containers burning me more than once. Â
Until I found out when I asked if chicken stock was in the sauce that I was lied to previously when told it was not. Â
Come on... how hard would it be to offer vegan options?
We used to eat there at least once a week (Chinese take out night paired with movies every friday)
But won't ever again.
I have been trying to find a good Chinese food place since i moved here in May, and finally believe i've found one!! My dad and I ate here last night, it's priced just like any other Chinese sit down place. The food was sOooOooOo yummy! We had steamed Wontons, Crabragoon, Eggrolls, and a couple different entrees. I was very pleased and will definitly be going back there from now on when i get my craving for some good Chinese! Yummy, yummy, yum!!
Review Source:For me, the POT-STICKERS are just about great. A little overpowering so don't go for them every other day; but they're an inexpensive treat if you want a snack. I've only had the chicken a couple of times and it wasn't really memorable except that it was fairly crunchy on the outside which was pleasant.
It always looks like they need about three more people working than they have, but the ones they have don't have to join a gym because they do plenty of hustling. Kudos to the staff for keeping up with rushes.
Doug's Awesome Springfield Cashew Chicken Tour...5000 continues with China Wok. This place is a little bit out of the way for me, but I gotta search 'em all out. Luckily its in between TWO Price Cutters so you can at least get some nice beer for cheap there if you don't like your meals.
I'm not sure if I'm beginning to love or loathe the fact that all these places are starting to look the exact same. You know what they look like so I'll spare the details, with the exception of this one having a bathroom that is located in the long, maze like recesses of the back of the restaurant. I might arrange for a sherpa to accompany me the next time in case I come across danger from an irate kitchen staff or one of the geriatrics who seem to live in the restaurant. Anyways, let's talk about food.
I got the Cashew Chicken of course. I really liked the fact that they anticipate my understandable disgust for the egg roll and have 6 Wantons or 3 Crab rangoon available to substitute, which I totally went for. The lady went for the chicken fried rice and wontons.
After a fairly long wait, noticing the SILENT elderly clientele, and the large amount of call in business, we got our food. Her rice was more brown and fried than most places, which is a good thing, but lacked some essential veggies; like carrots, or white onions, but had some nice green onions. My rice was also slightly browned, getting my hopes up that it was actually wok-fried, but I was soon disappointed. Some day some place will serve wor-fried rice AND fried chicken, without me asking for it. The sauce had the thickest consistency on the tour thus far and the chicken was nicely fried so that it stayed crispy throughout the entire meal (almost like a good KFC batter) despite the sauce seeming to seek and destroy every morsel on my plate. My rice ended up being pretty disappointing, despite the copious amounts of green onions. Like all these damn places, there is no seasoning what so ever. A little sea salt and cracked pepper would do wonders for this food, which is why I am bringing my own from now on. By the end of the meal my rice was pretty gross, now that it was coated with the cold cashew sauce, which honestly, seems to be quite flavorless across the board. I think its just something to distract us with for some reason. The chicken however was as good as I can ask for. Our wontons were a bit smaller than usual, and were very thin. They really reminded me of homemade tortilla chips with some kind of meat  inside. Even though they lacked sized, they were still decent, with the exception that they left a weird, MSG-y type film in my mouth...but I'd still rather have those than an egg roll. So whatevs.
Overall, this place is really not that bad for a quick Chinese food fix. The portions are good for the price and the food seems to be prepared fairly freshly. The chicken stands the test of the meal time and the last piece is still edible even though its been sitting in sauce. I suggest getting the rice on the side in order to control the sauciness of it. I wouldn't say that its "I'm a fan"-4 Stars super great. I'm thinking that indeed, this place is A-OK. Sure as hell better than China Star.
