Disclaimer: We partook of their offerings on Christmas eve, not much open so fairly busy. Thus they may have not performed to normal standards. Rather blah American-Chinese food. Was expecting better in a big city near a university, considering the competition. We did pickup and although it wasn't ready when we were told it was, the biggest problem is then never calling us when it WAS done. Hence I was sitting around for more than 15 minutes AFTER everything was bagged and ready.

I ordered from Amazing Wok II for two reasons: the positive yelp reviews, and the convenience of online ordering (and delivery). I ordered twice on two separate occasions, so as to truly give this place a chance to make a good impression. I found the food to be extremely hit or miss (mostly miss). I love spicy dishes in brown sauce (Kung Pao, Hunan, etc), and no matter which dish I ordered, it seemed to be in that bland, nondescript brown mystery sauce that mediocre Asian places are known for. I was very disappointed. The fried rice, however, was delightful. Fully cooked (nothing is worse than undercooked fried rice), full of flavor, and chock-full of vegetables, the vegetable fried rice did not disappoint. The nail in the coffin was the potstickers. They actually provided plum sauce instead of the standard soy-and-ginger sauce that potstickers are supposed to come with. Who are you kidding? I love Americanized Chinese food; no need to have an "authentic" Chinese menu for me to fall in love with your restaurant, but come on. Shortcuts like these not only alienate new and potential customers, but they actually piss off die-hard Asian food fans like me.

This it the best chinese take out place that you can get around cleveland heights! Imagine cold winter days and you are craving yummy wonton soup with shrimp fried rice and chicken lo mein with...delicous fried chicken wings and egg rolls with hot sauce and hot oil! THIS IS THE PLACE! I love their egg rolls ..and wonton soup! Its delicious! And their fried rice and lo mein and you have to get their fried chicken wings! I would order from here at least once a week! This place is good and they are very friendly!!!

I have ordered carryout from this restaurant many times. Timely service, decent prices and now you can order online. Food is OK, not great. Not a Chinese foodie, but if you are in the area and want Chinese takeout you can get it from here and not be disappointed.

Love it! Our family orders delivery about once a week. Quick easy painless and YUMMY! We order beef and broccoli, lo mein, war sue gai, eggs rolls and soups. And all of them all come hot and tasty! We have never had any problems with our order being correct and on time. Cheers to Amazing Wok!

I think that because I ordered at a weird hour, not quite lunch and not quite dinner, that the food was old and stale. Wasn't at all satisfying and sort of left me feeling gross. The hunt for great Chinese delivery continues.

Average Chinese at a modest price. Lunch sizes are plentiful and rather inexpensive. While I certainly wouldn't recommend dinning in, there are in fact designated eating areas in the establishment. However, the tables are typically covered with products for the awkward built in retail store or occupied by employees on break. Service is speedy, but the food really just doesn't stand out as excellent. The Lo Mein is flavorful but greasy, the fried rice is rather flat, and most extras (egg rolls / wontons) are mediocre. General Tso's and Kung Po are among their better dishes, good flavor with excellent spice. Overall a pretty decent spot for take out or delivery, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way.

I've never walked inside this place, or have even seen it for that matter. This is my family's go-to place for delivery. Cheap and fast delivery (We've never waited more than 40 minutes, ever. Even when there's a blizzard they seem to get here incredibly fast.) My go-to dish is the Shrimp and Pork with Golden Brown Sauce. What is in the sauce? I have no idea, but it's slightly spicy and amazing. That's all I need to know.

at first i thought this place was decent and cheap chinese food that delivered. but, the last two times i have ordered they just never delivered it! the first time they no showed i had ordered online, after an hour i called and spoke with a women who had no idea what i was talking about. they still never sent it. the second time i decided to order by phone to make sure there wasnt just an internet ordering system error. i spoke with one of the younger people who speaks english quite well. he assured me the food would be delivered with in half an hour. after more than an hour it never showed and i didnt think calling would solve anything this time either, so i didnt bother. waste of time and disappointing.

This is your average take out Chinese place. There are technically some tables inside but I don't know if I've ever seen people dining in. What's nice is they're one of the few Chinese places that will deliver. General Tso's is my favorite thing to get. They accept credit cards but only with a minimum order so make sure your ordering for at least two people.

Joseph F. and I have been coming here for many, many years. So often that we have seen the young boy behind the counter mature into a man ;-) Pretty soon, we'll be asking him where he's going to college! I have always found Amazing Wok to be great takeout - I've gotten the chicken lo mein, chicken with broccoli, sesame chicken, and always the beef spring roll. Although I really enjoy this place, I have to drop a star because every once in awhile, the food is not consistent. Funny story - I've also bought jewelry from Amazing Wok II. Yes, they sell jewelry. And those giant belt buckles. And those purses with the giant sequins. Kind of curious.

A long time ago, my girl and I decided that it would be nice to get Amazing Wok after her evening class. From that day forward, the Amazing Wok Tradition has lived strong through dating, engagement, and marriage. Each semester, we pick one night of the week (usually Tuesday or Wednesday) to be Wok Night...and even when we're done with law school, there will be Wok Night. We have gone here on an almost weekly basis since 2005 (excluding some times in the summer and when we were apart) and this place has never, ever gotten old. I have eaten the same dishes hundreds of times and the idea of taking a week off has never crossed my mind. In fact, we have re-arranged our schedule and passed on social invitations to accommodate The Wok when necessary! Simply put, this is takeout Chinese at its finest. It's inexpensive, the food is filling and tasty, and they give you a LOT. The people there are friendly and endearing too, not rude and curt like at Chopsticks down at University Circle. Additionally, your order is prepared quickly. I have called in my order on the way to the restaurant and it has been ready when I arrived. My favorites are: General Tso's Chicken, Pepper Steak, and my new personal fave, Singapore Mei Fun. My wife likes the Chicken with Broccoli and Chicken Lo Mein. Need I say more? When you don't want to cook or are tired, give The Wok a call. You will not regret it. If this place ever closes, I just might take that as a sign that it's time for us to leave Cleveland. I do hope that they give us advance notice if they plan on closing, though, so we can buy a freezerful of their food and freeze it so that our kids and grandkids can experience the goodness.

One of the few carry out places contact that I have stored in my phone. The only problem I have is overcoming the language barrier on the phone, but that's part of the fun as well. My favorite Chinese take-out in Cleveland!

Hot and sour soup weeee! This soup is my panacea. Whether it's seasonal allergies, a cold, the flu, or any other combination of illness, this soup makes me feel warm, cozy, and completely congestion free. While it's not as spicy as some other hot and sour soups I've had, it certainly does pack a punch without sacrificing taste. In terms of other appetizers, the spring rolls, crab rangoon, and fried wontons are all as good as if not better than your local Chinese take-out place. I'd say definitely give them a try, and order extra because you won't want to share. For dinner, you can't go wrong with their chicken chow-mein. We're not talking ground-breaking fine dining here, but it certainly acts as a good companion to any post-work, movie marathon slump you've found yourself in. Delivery is fast, efficient, and cheap! Order now :)

Very disappointed. I got hung up on 3 different times trying to place an order for delivery (the third time I told them I would pick up)... Yes, they were busy and the roads are bad. But don't just hang up on me. Finally I got someone who picked up and was nice enough to say they were really slammed. I told him I would be ok with picking up and he was happy and said that would be great. Then while placing my order the guy (not the nice one) said "I'm just going to have to cancel your order" then hung up. Wtf if you can't handle your stuff you have no need to be in the restaurant business.

Our family moved to Cleveland 4 years ago. We have FINALLY found "our" Chinese food place! The owners are nice and the delivery crew is respectful and prompt. My husband said he hasn't had Chinese food like that since moving from Mass. 17 years ago. I like the online ordering. I had an issue with ordering because I live 4 miles away (Lyndhurst) and almost immediately after emailing them they fixed the problem. The food is always hot when it arrives and taste delicious.

The food is amazing and way better then Golden Dragon on Lee Road. I would recommend this first. The people are way more polite especially the delivery drivers. I love how you can order online, but I hate how they charge an extra dollar if you are under a certain amount of money. They usually call you and ask you if that is okay, but if you don't know about this and you add a tip for the delivery driver online with your card, they won't call and the dollar will be taken out of the tip and the driver will get less money. Ordering online is a great choice and delivery is fast. Polite delivery drivers. Thanks!! You are my only choice for Chinese food close to home.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
