China Wok

Brought my family of 8 here while passing through town. We got 3 meat dishes, 1 fried rice, 1 veggie lomein, 2 hot&sour soups, and 2 orders of crab rangoon. It fed my family plus a container of leftovers (enough for an adult lunch) all for less than $100. The food was fresh, hot, and had superb flavors, and the staff was friendly, even offering to go out of their way to make the orange chicken non-spicy for the kids. We will for sure be going back if ever passing through again.

I love China wok, it’s affordable, quick, and delicious. Llano doesn’t have many restaurants that I’d recommend like this one. China Wok is a hidden gem.

Me and my family went for our Christmas dinner this year and it was amazing. We have been trying to find a good Chinese place close by for a while. The food was amazing, I definitely recommend their General Tao's Chicken, they say it's spicy but it's not. It's very good, so are the dumplings and crab ragoons! We will 100% be coming back when we get a chance. The ladies were very nice and made sure we were good the entire time, kept making sure everything was good. It was a little empty so we were a bit worried it wasn't good but everyone seemed to be ordering to go. If you're looking for some good Chinese food definitely check them out, well worth going especially with the price. Really cheap and you get a lot of food. We spent around 50 for three people but that was with appetizers.

Everyone in our family loves to eat here. Every time we go through Llano we eat here. If we are 2 hours away at lunch time they want to wait till we get here to eat. My father actually plans his 5 hour drive around what time he can get to Llano so he can eat here. Michael is so friendly and can order for my mom and son because they are going to get the same thing every time. Egg foo young for mom and dumplings and shrimp fried rice for my son. My son loves the food so much when he was younger he found a rent house a block away and told us he was going to move there just so he could go eat at “Michael’s” aka China Wok. I am a huge fan of the special combination plate with sesame chicken. It is my go to. The old building doesn’t look like much when you walk in, but don’t let it fool you. The food is great and they are very friendly. Food is served in to go containers because even my 23 year old 280 pound son can’t finish it all. If you like Chinese food you have to try China Wok.

Awesome food. Very friendly male owner. Food was fresh and hot with great taste. Crab ragoon was in 8 pieces and very tasty. Fried rice even had meat mixed in. We were expecting to be waited on but they serve in nice plastic reusable microwavable bowls to bring left overs home in. It would have been better to be waited on but awesome food and very nice owners.

I am always delighted to find great Asian food in small towns. China Wok is one of these places. It is a little different than a Big City Oriental Restaurant, so be prepared when you walk in. You have to walk up to the order counter, pick up a menu and step back to decide what you want to order. The staff was patient with me as I figured this out. You place your order, pay for your food and drink, then you get a disposable plate, cup and dinner ware and/or chopsticks and choose a seat at one of the plentiful tables. Then your hot, prepared food is delivered to your table in stout takeout containers. Then you proceed to serve up what you want, enjoy the delectable delights and what is left over is already in takeout containers. The bulk of the business is call-in and carry out orders, but they accommodate walk-up and dine-in guests graciously, but don't expect a Maitre d' to greet you and have a waitperson at your beck and call. But if you are used to self service and a laid back atmosphere, the food alone warrants a visit, dine-in or carry-out. Now, on to the food my wife and I dined on Egg Drop Soup, Wonton Soup, Egg Rolls, Vegetable Delight and Fried Rice. That was plenty for us both with some leftovers to take home. The food was excellent and if I make it through Llano, TX again, I will definitely dine there again! The staff was gracious for our patronage and quickly oriented me on their different style of service, which I quickly adapted to. So for their quirkiness mixed with their patience, graciousness and excellent food with quick service, they earned my 5 star rating.

This has to be one of the best Chinese food places I've tried in the last few years. You order your food at the window and they bring it out to your table in to go style plates of which I was a bit skeptical. The portions were huge, so it made taking the left overs home a breeze. Best pepper steak, lo mein, Mongolian beef and egg rolls I've had in quite a while! Was definitely worth stopping for!

We came here on Thanksgiving evening honestly because it was the only place open, but we were pleasantly surprised with how good the food was and how nice the staff were. I had the kung pao shrimp and my significant other had the beef with broccoli. Mine was a little better than hers was (in both our opinions), but both were very good. I’m picky on my Chinese food, but I would definitely come back. Update: Exactly one year later (now 2025), we returned for the exact same trip. This time I had the Kung pow shrimp again and my wife had the moo gai pan. We also had the crab puffs and egg rolls. The people here are so nice, the service is extremely fast, and the food is really good. It’s going to be our annual tradition for as long as we’re able.

The atmosphere is very nice and the food is great. The portions are large so you can usually bring home leftovers! The employees are VERY friendly and wonderful people.

When to China wok because I was in town for training and was told it was pretty good. Wow that was an extreme over exaggeration. Place was not the worst but no where near good. I walked in and they had this weird fountain made out of a kids pool should have been the first red flag. Walked up to the counter and looked over the menu and decided on fries rice. Should have gone with something else. Anyway the combo fried rice came out in the traditional Chinese carry out box and I opened it on first glance it looked OK. Went to taste it the fried rice was dry there barely any chicken, shrimp, beef or pork honestly didn't see any pork at all not sure if it was even one of the ingredients. What combo fried rice comes with no pork! Tried to fix it with soy sauce that didn't help just made me more thirsty! Any ways the rice was not good good. Some of the other guy's meals looked OK but most of them didn't finish the food so makes me wonder. Llano is very small town with a handful of restaurants so that might be the reason that there is like one Chinese food place here but yall can do something better this was a lack of trying and caring smh smh For all the people giving this place 5 stars yall are out of you cotten picking minds this was no where near 5 star. This must be the only Chinese yall have ever eaten! I gave it 2 stars because I was being generous.... Fried rice 1 outa 10 travesty sad sad I would not come here or tell anyone to come. Just my opinion yall try it if you want

I have eaten at Asian food places all over the world. This is some of the best I have ever had. The crab Rangoon IS the best I have ever had. Don't sleep on this place just because it's in a small town!!

First time eating here. A husband and wife run it. He takes the orders and she cooks. Order at the counter and grab your own silverware. Friends had recommended it so we thought we'd try it. The best thing we ordered was the hot and sour soup. It was the best I'd ever had and had pieces of scallion, mushroom along with the usual tofu and egg. Very very tasty. We ordered the three hotter combos and all were tasty. Pictures of what we ordered are below. Try it!

Very polite people nice atmosphere, egg drop soup is amazing, rest of food is good too.

Every time we come here, the food is incredible. It is always the same husband and wife running the show, and they've come to know us, even though we only come once or twice a month. The food is always fresh, comes out quickly, and is always seasoned perfectly and consistently. I have a thing about texture so one time my mother ordered for me before I showed up, and when I got there and the order was wrong (not because of the restaurant) the owners were insistent on making sure I ate, even though I had that mental block up. This place is a gem, for sure.

This is a great little restaurant. The appetizers are excellent and the meals are always delicious. The people who run it are friendly and helpful. Really good for takeout.

Very fresh, well prepared Chinese food! Fresh, hot egg rolls to begin followed by tender Szechuan beef and delicious grease free sweet and sour pork. Both lunch servings were filling and excellent. Service at the counter was very helpful and it was obvious they do a great takeout business. We look forward to trying more great food here!

Best Chinese food by far. The staff is always friendly, fast and the food is great! I've lived near by for over a year and have had nearly everything on the menu and have never been dissatisfied. Get the crab Rangoon, you'll be glad you did.

It's just plain good. Great food and friendly owners. So glad to have them in Llano. Good sized portions and so many options.

China Wok is the most authentic Chinese place in the hill country! I stop by anytime I am in Llano, even if I take it to-go! The owner, Michael is the sweetest.

Best fast chinese food I've had in Texas...better than any place in Austin. Very reasonable prices and big portions. Great spot!

We love the Orange chicken "no hot" and spicy The portions are really good. Unlike other Chinese food, this restaurant has never made us feel bloated from the MSG. They are obviously using quality ingredients. Way better than Pai Wai, Panda Express, or PF Changs.

First, YOU HAVE TO GET THE CRAB RANGOONS! Second, GET THE CRAB RANGOONS! Seriously, people drive from Mason for these things. Michael at the counter may be the friendliest guy in Llano, and thats not an understatement. It's always great to do business with someone who appreciates you coming in. Now I'm a bug guy, but these portions are enough for me to make two meals. I prefer the General Tso's chicken. They tell you that it's spicy, but it's city people spicy or old church lady spicy. If you are used to the ordering scale, it's a 1 or 2. But great flavor! My wife likes the sweet and sour combo. Pork, chicken and shrimp in a tempora. FABULOUS! Even if you don't use the sauce, terrific. IBC on tap! That's rare. A nice change of pace. The cashew chicken is an honorable mention. There is something on their menu for everyone.

I had the shrimp with vegetables combo and egg drop soup. It was very good. The ambiance is like going back old west 150 years. I loved the building's architecture. It is sad to see it empty due to the pandemic. Very clean restrooms.

China Wok has a great lunch and dinner combinations. The beef with vegetables was yummy and the crab ragoons are some of the best! Michael is very curtiois and always checking to see if everything is alright. We will be back!

This place was a true surprise. I was traveling, it was about lunch time, and I wasn't in the mood for a hamburger or chicken fried steak, so I checked Yelp and found this place. I went in and the owner asked me what I liked, I told him "all types of seafood", so he made me a combination plate that was wonderful! I highly recommend this place and ask the owner for suggestions!

Passing through town we used Yelp to find somewhere to eat and we ended up at China Wok because of the reviews. We ordered Crab ragoons, general tso chicken and Mongolian beef. Our entrees came with pork fried rice and an egg roll. Everything was so fresh and tasted amazing. I also love that this is a true family owned establishment and you can tell they care about their customers and their product. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be stopping by.

I went into the restaurant today and asked what they had with no egg. They said that, unfortunately, they didn't have anything that didn't include egg. I asked if they had anything else with tofu and they answered no. So nothing vegan here now, apparently.

Had the triple delight and vegetable fried rice and egg rolls. All was fresh and tasty.

Homemade food and good friendly staff. I recommend this place anytime you're in llano

Amazing food!!! Wonderful people! It is a small, locally owned business. The owners are wonderful. The place was clean, the food was wonderful, and the prices were very good as well. The staff was so sweet, we will definitely be returning! This is a definite stop is you're going through Llano!

Very good Chinese food in a very casual and relaxed atmosphere. The proprietor, Michael, is all about customer service and satisfaction. I have lunch or dinner here at least once a week.

OMG. They need a resteraunt manager. We tried to eat here the other day. In line for 30 minutes, THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD. This was before 5pm. Not even the dinner rush. Today, still in line 40 minutes. NO ONE HELPING THE PEOPLE AT THE COUNTER. NO WAITSTAFF. Order at the counter. That also means no one busting tables. Guy at the counter is constantly on the phone. Get a minimum wage kid to do that. Out of EVERY type of chicken. Still here an HOUR later, waiting for food. Had we not paid, we'd have left LONG ago. The food was fresh cooked, so an A+ for that. The gentleman behind the clear shower curtain is very friendly, another A+. Too much screaming and berating him coming from the kitchen.

We come here frequently now. The food is good, its always hot and fresh. The service is always good. And I appreciate how they serve it in the to-go plates so you can easily enjoy it for lunch the next day. It's that sort of Chinese food place and I love that. Great for the price too. The people are always nice and it's a cute old building that I appreciate. Also, it was open Christmas and that was fun for dinner that night. I need to say this, and clearly its not so bad that it keeps us from being here about 2xs per week like we honestly do- but when you enter this place, it smells like stagnant water. They have a little waterfall display that causes this. Once you walk thru that and into the dining area it goes away. This is the only reason I am giving them a 4 star vs 5 star.

Amazing homemade authentic Chinese food. Never disappointed in flavor, freshness, quality and price. I usually get moo gai pan because I don't tolerate gluten. Hubby gets beef with broccoli or shrimp with veggies. Wonderful!! Awesome fresh made lemonade

A hidden gem! Best crab rangoons ever. Mom and Pop restaurant but some amazing food. Order at the counter. Clean up your own table. Food was hot and fresh. You won't be disappointed.

Very clean, very good. There are no waiters. You order at the counter. Highly recommended.

Way better Asian comfort food than one would expect in small town Texas. The fried rice is rather lackluster, lacking in basically anything but onion, but the lo mein and other dishes are flavorful and well executed.

When I entered the restaurant I didn't expect much. But then I ordered the lemon chicken. My mind was blown. I have never seen such a dish before. When I ate it, my eyes opened wide. The lemon sauce was done so unique that I'll never have something like it again ever. I wouldn't mind coming back because it's fun. The cashier is nice and Chinese. My friend's food tasted even better than mine.

What a great find. This is a small family run restaurant. You order your food and they bring it to your table. You serve yourself--get your own eating utensils, paper plates, etc. They bring the food to you in take-out containers. Food was good and fresh. We ordered two of the Vegetable options -- one with broccoli, one with tofu (soft) and additionally ordered the veggies and noodles. The broccoli dish was amazing. The noodles were very good and the tofu was good, but no comparison to the yummy broccoli dish. It is a fun and relaxed place and will definitely be back. Recommend.

We love our local Chinese restaurant. Michael is so caring. The food has always been very good. It was a pleasant surprise to move from the city but still find my favorite Chinese dishes.

Small family operation. There are no waitstaff, so you order at the counter and they bring it to you. Drinks and utensils are self serve. You even bag up the food yourself if you're taking it to go. The food is really hot and tastes great, however it's not the best I've had by far. The fried rice is more yellow than brown, and has no egg in it. It's not terrible, but not really the fried rice you think of when ordering it. The egg roll was hot, but extremely raw in the middle. I can only hope that none of the ingredients needed to be cooked thoroughly. For the experience that you receive, the food is rather expensive. To get a standard course and rice with a drink, you're going to be looking at $10-$15. But because you have to do everything yourself except for cooking the food, it seems to be on the high side of what I would like to pay.

Best Asian food out of any of the smaller towns in the area. Portions are big. Sesame chicken or Moo goo gai pan are the best. They have plenty of selections. Kid and vegetarian friendly.

If you are desiring a home cooked healthy dish of Asian cuisine in Llano, look no further than China Wok. Michael and crew are on top of it all!!

What a divine surprise!! Traveling through town, expecting to have very few options for food, and to my surprise I found China Wok. Wanting to get to the hotel and relax, I called in take out and I am so glad I did. I ordered the shrimp with cashew nut and it was perfect. Service was friendly and helpful and the food was exactly what I was looking for! I highly recommend this place.

I am very surprised at the 5 star reviews. This Chinese didn't get close to mediocre. Boyfriend had orange chicken & only ate 1/4 of it. Never happened before at any other Chinese restaurant. Egg rolls seemed commercially made & were soggy & cold in the center. I think they were not cooked thoroughly, which killed my appetite, due to fear of illness. $30 for 2 dishes & egg rolls is not an issue to me. Unless it's not edible.

Honestly phenomenal Chinese food. I travel a good amount and have had Chinese food in many states...this place is one of my new favorites. Every item was killer. Wish we lived closer!!

This restaurant has wonderful food. We had the hunan chicken and the sesame chicken. Both were wonderful, fill of flavor and the portions were huge. The place was spotless and the owner was so nice.

Great Chinese restaurant in Llano! Lots of options and it's really good. Our favorite is the general szo's chicken with extra egg rolls.

You won't find much Asian food in the Hill Country and ChinaWok is a welcome addition to the usual fare. Generous portions are served fresh and fast at very reasonable prices. Every dish I've tried has been very good. Nothing fancy - you place your order at the counter and your food is served in plastic "to go" containers, but unless you're looking for fancy decor this place is highly recommended.

Had egg drop soup, chicken szechuan and triple delight. All outstanding and huge portions. Excellent...we'll be back!

If you are looking for a fancy decor with China and silver cutlery, this place is NOT for you. BUT if you want fresh, hot good quality, generous portions, and reasonable prices then this place is a diamond in the ruff. Servings come in to-go containers and Styrofoam plates but these are a minor inconvenience compared to the food. We had General Tso chicken, garlic pork, and sweet and sour chicken along with the steamed pot stickers and brought food home. Atmosphere is inedible in my opinion. Try it, you'll like it.

Our favorite in Llano. Fresh, fast ,and friendly with extremely reasonable prices. We highly recommend.

Stopped here for lunch on Sunday while coming back from Enchanted Rock. The place was packed and rightly so. You can't go wrong with $5 lunch specials. Pork fried rice and egg roll with every lunch special and a bottle of Sriracha on every table.

Freshly made to order. Yummy Chinese from a traditional Chinese restaurant. Only one in town but it is tasty.

This wonderful restaurant has a great atmosphere and respectful staff- and the food is absolutely delightful!

Excellent!!! If you are vegetarian or vegan, look no further. The vegetable dishes are delicious and are not made with any kind of meat broth. It's a small family business and the food tastes very homey. It's clean and neat. They've done an excellent job, being that they are completely run by family members. Will definitely stop here again when traveling this way!

This place is a hidden treasure. The owner is extremely nice and his family runs the kitchen in the back. The interior is dim and has an authentic Chinese vibe going on. Love it. The food, though, is the real highlight. Ingredients are fresh tasting and bursting with flavor. Everything is hot when served, just excellent. My only complaint is that they use styrofoam plates and cups, which are truly terrible for the environment. They also don't have a liquor license so they don't sell any alcohol. Outside of that, this place is worth every penny. I'll be back for sure
