Their "Jumbo Shrimp Szechuan" is the Best I've ever had, and their Szechuan sauce is homemade from a "special family recipe" and is second to none, so I would highly recommend any of their Szechuan dishes! ... I have tried all of the Chinese restaurants in town and this is my "go-to place" when I want Delicious Chinese Food with friendly service!!! ... I've tried Golden Chopsticks twice, and I definitely prefer China Wok!!!

A fantastic hidden gem. I went here on Christmas and was surprised to see just a small staff with all the woks fired up and cooking and dishing up. The food was hot and the flavor was exactly what I was hoping for. Its in a strip mall so plenty of parking and easy to access. This is definitely a new regular spot for me

The best Chinese food in the valley, and I've tried them all! Not only is the food delicious, the price is right, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. My favorite menu item is the crab Rangoon (cheese wontons). I get them every time I order and could eat the entire bag by myself. I highly recommend giving china wok a try, you won't be disappointed.

Wonderful and polite staff. Service is fairly quick, only waited 10 minutes for my food. The restaurant itself is small. It's not really meant to be an eat in place. The food was hot and very good. Will probably be my go-to Chinese restaurant for takeout. Their sesame chicken was perfect.

Best Chinese in Wheeling area for tofu. I ask for Sesame Tofu which they are happy to accommodate this off-menu item from their General Tso’s tofu. This works well for vegans and vegetarians. Best for take out.

We ordered take out and it was done in perfect time and the staff was wonderful when my husband went into pay and pick up the order. The food is amazing and it is so hot that when you get it home you have to wait for it to cool a bit. It is so amazing because you know that it is fresh and the portions are fabulous. The best place to order Chinese food in the northern panhandle.

We had a pet emergency today (Christmas Day) and were unable to make the dinner we had planned. We thankful to find that China Wok was open for business. The hot and sour soup was very good. The steamed dumplings were absolutely amazing. The Chicken and Broccoli, Szechuan Chicken and General TSO‘s Chicken were all excellent. We will be back and fully recommend this restaurant Thank you!

This was our 1st time visiting here and it will not be our last. The portions are huge, food was nice & fresh and the egg roll is the best I've had in a really long time. I most definitely recommend!
