I'm a regular and love coming here. Everything (always something different) I've ordered is great. Star rating is in camparison to other Chinese restaurants of this type, located in strip center, not full service. If you're looking for a good value and quick turnaround, this is the spot. Menu features the tried and true Americanized dishes found at most Chinese restaurants around the country.....no chicken feet or garlic eggplant.
Very reasonable prices and several combos offered for lunch and dinner.
New interior summer 2019 is bright, cheery and clean New management since 2015, family owned and operated. They couldn't be nicer.
Prior to 2015 I wouldn't have much good to say. The food has improved markedly and interior is far more inviting. if you haven't been here in a while, they deserves another shot.
Counter service dine in and quick delivery. -

I'm rounding up, if anything, from one star as China Wok is cheap (styrofoam plates for people eating in) and insipid (I had to use soy sauce and mustard to make my egg drop soup taste like anything beyond hot, thick water).
I ordered a lunch combo after coming here due to a recommendation from someone who said it reminded her of the take out from back home (for her) in Philly. Well, I've never had Chinese food in Philadelphia, and now I'm thinking I'll avoid it entirely - New York, LA, and San Francisco are really known as the best Chinatowns (DC isn't, in case you're wondering).
Along with the soup, I got sesame chicken and fried rice. The rice was just that, with maybe some onions, no peas, no meat. The sesame chicken was passable at best. Unlike Danny's in College Park, Maryland, if it's still around, I can't complain about getting a bunch of breaded and fried feathers, but it just sort of sat in its sauce. Suffice to say, low-end mediocrity isn't worth any kind of trip, and the people who did come in during lunch hour either had low standards or knew something I didn't. -

Definitely not the best I've had, but decent quality and very reasonable prices. Solid option for NYC style Chinese food.

I'm not really sure all these reviews are for the same restaurant. If so, maybe they have good days and really shit-terrible days. My meal was from the latter.
Visiting family in Atlanta, and the last night in town they wanted Chinese food. They ordered from China Wok because they deliver. Well, the delivery was going to take over an hour, so we did pick-up instead. The family ordered a mix of egg drop and hot & sour soup, cashew chicken, spring rolls, lo mein, and broccoli with garlic sauce.
We'll start with the soup. Really slimy looking and gross. So much corn starch. So little flavor. And not even hot. The only real flavor was from the hot mustard I added.
Spring rolls were adequate. That's as nice of a thing as I can say. They didn't make me want to barf, and they weren't super greasy. Add mustard and they even had some flavor.
Then there was the broccoli. Like the soup, it wasn't hot. Like the soup, it had a whole lot of corn starch in a shimmering "sauce" that covered what otherwise looked like broccoli. There was a tiny hint of garlic flavor, but mostly it was some kind of sweet slimy stuff, and it was terrible. I ate a couple bites, and that's all I could take. It was actually quite nasty.
I tried one bite of the cashew chicken. I could hardly get through that one bite. Fatty hunk of chicken with a few vegetables and more of that corn starch slime sauce.
I suffered gastrointestinal distress for the rest of the evening, and I really thought I was going to vomit. I probably would have felt better if I did. The next day I took MARTA to the airport, and that food really wanted to get OUT. I almost didn't make it. I will never eat from this establishment again. -

Chicken burned, food made me sick as a dog, and the delivery guy harassed me for tip. I was disappointed with service but the guy banged on my door and demanded a tip. I will never eat here again.
