    This place was nothing too exciting as far as Chinese food goes. The food was prepared quickly, and it tasted OK. Nothing on it screamed come back again and again. It's definitely better than some Chinese restaurants, but they weren't quite as good as a competitor down the road who had better prices. I'll give it one more shot just to make sure it wasn't an off day.

    We order from China Wok regularly. Love the beef lo mein, and the kung pao tofu is a great option for the vegetarians in the family. Not the best Chinese food on earth, but it's quite good and their delivery service is great. Just one negative - the delivery driver has to take an old-school imprint of your credit card. Big credit card theft risk there. They should get rid of that practice. Aside from that, great place.

    The only redeeming part of this restaurant is their hot and sour soup which actually had some "sour" to it. Everything else was of marginal quality. The website outlined a selection of about 20 entrees. One of them was broccoli in garlic sauce which sounded appealing. When I got to the restaurant this dish was no where to be seen; just a handful of sad looking dishes in steam tables. The lady running the show seemed put out when I requested steamed rice as if it was a big deal to open the lid to the cooker and scoop some out. The entrees I picked were Kung pao chicken and sesame chicken. The sesame chicken tasted mushy and had no visible sesame seeds or flavor. They also sell ice cream from a setup like you see at buffets, but who knows how long it has sat there. Hot mustard was an extra 25 cents. I didn't buy a drink (they were $2.09) and water was not offered. Guess I can forget about the tip jar on the counter... It's one step below the $1.49 a scoop places without the value. There's better establishments near by--I suggest you try one of them and skip this dive.

    In my never-ending quest for decent Chinese somewhere within the same zipcode in which I live, we motored on over to this place. Um, probably not worth the gas, although the food created enough to make up for it, several times over. I know, these guys are called "China Wok EXPRESS", so I should have gotten a clue about their focus here when you come through the door and see huge signs advertising three "Combo Plates", one, two, or three entrees plus starch. See, they'd really rather dish you up something out of the steam table into a styrofoam to-go box, slop some fried rice and lo mein on there, slam the lid and send you on your merry way. But I wasn't having any of that. No, me an' wifelet decided to order off the regular menu, probably a mistake, as it cost us twice what we'd have spent had we stayed with a combo plate. We started out with an order of scallion pancakes, something I rarely see in these parts. When done right, these babies are like a delicate, scallion-y latke, a light, lacy, crispy confection of savory goodness. Not done right here. Stiff, burnt on one side, and cut up into pizza slices with a blah dipping sauce on the side. Delivered approximately two minutes before the entrees arrived, so much for it being an appetizer. She got a Vietnamese rice-noodle bowl, which actually looked pretty good, and she said was tasty, which almost made me give these guys 3 stars instead of 2. But the steaming pile of crap which was my entree made me change my mind. I ordered combination egg-foo-yung, and it was basically...crap. Not a true egg foo, this was eggs blended with rice flour to make some kind of batter, deep-fried and sliced up on a plate. Came with a big bowl of ketchup-y sauce with sliced up chicken, pork and shrimp, with a generous smattering of frozen pea an' carrot mix, which you're supposed to slop over this greasy mess and eat. And eat it, I DID, campers, 'cause I was hungry, but I regretted what it did to my innards for the rest of the afternoon. Sounded like a John Philip Sousa concert in there, bleh. I guess I'd go back to this place if I was in the neighborhood, in a hurry, and all I wanted was some overcooked, steam table beef w/ broccoli with some blah fried rice and mushy lo mein to go. Whatthehell, if you've read my reviews, you know I regularly punish myself with Chinese buffets all over the country, so how can I get snooty about this place?

    Talk about shady! The first time I came to this place I got charged an extra dollar for what seemed to be a lick of hot mustard sauce. The second time the cashier rang my order up for a certain amount, and then charged my card for a completely different amount which of course was higher. I just left two minutes ago and got charged a dollar extra for rice that I was told came with my order at the beginning. I am not complaining about the food, But I don't expect to be nickeled and dimed by a Chinese restaurant. They've just lost my business.

    Yuk. Bones and gristle in my orange chicken. Weird crab cheese wontons. Wish I could redo my dinner.

    I have been on Yelp long enough to know that I should read the reviews BEFORE trying a new restaurant. I will never eat here again. PLEASE PLEASE ask for an itemized receipt! The cashier tried to add an extra $3.00! The food was below average. The cashier handled money AND served the food without using latex gloves and/or washing her hands! The cashier was also cleaning tables and touching the trash receptacle and then serving unsuspecting customers! On top of everything else, the cashier was not friendly...obviously taking my money once was more important than making a repeat customer.

    First of off this is really in Thornton. I am done trying out this place. I gave it 3 tries and now they are really really OUT! I went in for a quick lunch. It was so expensive I was shocked. They must have raised their prices significantly since my last visit. I was the only customer there. The woman was reading when I walked in and she looked unhappy to stop reading to help me. She was so unfriendly. Then the food I was serviced was not hot. Kinda lukewarm- cold. No apology. She turned and yelled to the guy in the back cooking and then tried to turn up the heater in the buffet case where my food came from. That is it. Again, no apology or can I get you something hot! I just looked at her and left my food at the table and left. Even though its close to my house I will never give that place another visit. You have been warned.

    Nothing real fancy but it's very good, tasty and quick. Recommend the dumplings and BBQ Pork.

    I discovered China Wok when I lived near their location in Westminster and I was sad to not have my favorite Chinese restaurant near me when I moved to Thornton. A few years later they opened China Wok #2 within a block of me again! Maybe they missed me too. Obviously I really like this place. Their delivery is always fast and tasty. My favorites are the steamed dumplings, sesame chicken, hawaii chicken (ask for it without onions unless you really like onion), and the Seafood Combination. Beef Broccoli is a good standby too. I would give it 5 stars except that the restaurant dining room itself is not at all inviting. I would only recommend takeout.

Chinese Cuisine

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.
