i like new wok for takeout very much because 1) the owner Sofia is super nice. Â 2) the food is consistently good and inexpensive. Â I recommend their chicken with broccoli, Â Mongolian beef with no green onions, Â Singapore style noodles, and Yang chow fried rice. Â would give five stars but i'm not really a fan of the hot and sour soup.
Review Source:I've been going to this place for almost 10 years and love, love, loved it until last week. Yes the previous owner's niece took over the place. And for a while the quality was the same. But my order last week was absolutely terrible. Mu Shu pork was all cabbage, almost no pork. Vegetable egg foo young has a dark, nasty gravy and the egg part is not good either. Orange chicken was ok, swimming in sauce but it actually had a few pieces of orange rind and broccoli and carrot. I had been alternating between this and Zen House recently. I'll be going to Zen House from now on.
Review Source:My family recently move to Naperville, Illinois. We were searching for a place that served Asian food which is a family favorite. After reading the reviews, we were compelled to try New Wok. I have to say this was the worst Asian food we ever ate. The Beef Fried Rice was flavorless. The Orange Chicken was mushy and bland. The Mongolian Beef was sweet and the terrible as well. The only reason I am giving a one star rating is because we did not get sick from eating the food. The only thing we agree upon from the other reviews is the fact that the portion sizes are big.
Review Source:I've been coming here for a number of years now, and the dishes have been uniformly excellent. I normally order from their Chinese menu, and my absolute two favorite dishes are the salt-and-pepper shrimp and the beef chow fun. The shrimp are shelled and then dusted with a very light breading and flash fried. Much nicer than the usual preparation of frying them in the shell. The beef chow fun is prepared with slices of flank steak stir fired with inch-wide flat rice noodles - true Cantonese comfort food.
Review Source:I've been eating here since I was 5 years old! Love the take out, its easily the best take out in the western suburbs. The prices are rock bottom and the owner is a long time friend! Their garlic chicken, general taos, and salt and pepper shrimp are amazing!!!
If you're looking for a quick dinner that won't disappoint don't look anywhere else. This place is cheaper and better.
I won't say that this is the best Chinese take out. Â But it's the best Chinese take out in Naperville. Â Or the surrounding several towns.
The food is, as a matter of fact, ridiculously greasy, but that's what makes it great. Â My friends and I used to make it a habit of ordering this place every Friday after school during Highschool. Â We'd walk down, pick it up and either eat it there (they used to be able to let you eat in) or take it back to one of our houses and chow down.
It's conveniently located for those of us from the south-eastern corner of the city, for anyone who's not a "Ranchview Alumni," it's a pain to get to.
The Potstickers, General's Chicken, Chicken Friend Rice, Lo-Mein, Seseme Chicken... actually: just about everything is amazing.
Much love New Wok.
