Tang's Wok

Absolutely amazing food. As a Bay Area native, I can confidently say the chef truly understands the nuances Chinese food and flavor. Look past the traditional American-Chinese dishes (also very good) and you will be surprised by the authenticity.

Dim Sums were great and taken time to make as they were hot, ready, and fresh! Service was great as they took my online order 15 min before they close and were super kind when I apologized for the last minute order! I definitely recommend for any dim sum lovers to give this Vancouver hidden gem a try! :)

Setting: strip mall Good food for value. If you like authentic Chinese food, not quick not greasy, this is the place. Well portioned for left overs and of high quality. Pork buns are delicious and a must have, moist and perfectly cooked. Not pictured, because I inhaled them right off.

Great all around food to include dim sum.. It's good to see so many in house made foods. Service was good and the owners, Yen and her husband were both very nice.

My new favorite Chinese take out in Vancouver. I'm surprised it took me this long to find the place. Excellent flavor. Enormous portions. Our order took an hour which isn't great. We'll give that a pass. The Kung Pao chicken was excellent. The Szechuan beef was loaded with protein. The broccoli beef was a little on the sweet side but some soy sauce fixed that. The orange chicken is good but not classic. Will be back. Check out my profile for more great cocktail bars and eateries.

Wanted chicken with broccoli. And there was zero sauce on this. When have you ever heard of chicken and broccoli not coming with any sauce at all? When I called to ask why there was no sauce she said it was because that’s her style. There is zero flavor to this. Complete garbage and wasted my money. I could never hope to get a refund because she pretended to pull the “I don’t speak English very well“ card. This is a joke. Her ancestors would be very angry. Shame to you.

Pretty good Chinese food. Nice people. A bit spendy. I wouldn't drive across town for it, but definitely would eat there again if I was nearby. The BBQ pork buns were good and the other portions were generous. The inside of the restaurant is nothing to write home about with a few humble tables to sit at. I'd honestly expect that to be a bit more fancy for the price of the food that's being charged.

Strongly recommended ~~~ This is definitely the best authentic Chinese restaurant around Portland/Vancouver area. Even though the restaurant is small, it is worth to have dinner in there as the food is delicious!!!! The picture menu shows so many authentic Chinese food which I would never found in any other Chinese restaurants in Vancouver area. I have ordered the traditional sticky rice, and some meat and vegetables for my dinner. I am impressed by how they make the high quality of Chinese food in a small place. Moreover, the employees in there are pretty nice. Server always provide a good service to customers by giving some recommendations and helping to customize the food individually. Overall, food is as good as it looks like. The price is not expensive as the size is big. Service is awesome as the staff have nice greeting and give useful suggestions. I like the way they put the chef special on the top. Special menu changes frequently, so I always expect the unexpected delicious food in here. I will come back soon!!!!

We decided to try a different Chinese restaurant today and Tang Wok was our choice. Todays surprise was we had an opportunity to by a man's lunch who just came in to have a cup of tea. What a wonderful joy that was. The house special rice was delicious. They were very generous with the shrimp in the fried rice. It also had chicken and all the usual vegetables. The sweet and sour chicken was good nothing special but good. The BBQ steam buns were pretty good the bun itself was moderately sweet and the pork filling was well cooked and flavorful. I have had better but not bad. The potstickers were juicy on the inside amd crisp on the outside. All in all it was a nice eating experience.

Tangs wok My relative introduced my friends & I to this authentic Chinese restaurant. Being from Vancouver Canada, I wasn't expecting much from an Asian restaurant in Vancouver, Washington. I wasn't impressed! We were beyond impressed! My friend requested an off the menu dish - steamed pork with salted fish. Some of you know about this dish. A dish grandma made decades ago. They knew exactly what we wanted & delivered. The chef/owner even came out to see who ordered this dish. The 5 of us ordered 5 dishes & had very few leftovers. All the dishes were flavorful. See the photos to see if any appeal to you & I highly recommend them all. If you want authentic Chinese food, this is the place! They're located in a small shopping plaza. Service was prompt & the owners are friendly. We'll definitely be back for the other dishes. We were told if we want certain special dishes, order a day in advance.

I agree with some other reviewers that the 4 and 5 star reviews in the Vancouver area seem to be consistently mismatched with the 4 and 5 reviews in LA. This place falls on a 2.5 to 3 based on the orange chicken and the chicken lo mein we ordered via Yelp app. (Which you shouldn't listen to btw as the anticipated ready time was off by almost half an hour.) PR picked up the plastic and Styrofoam infused package within 10 - 12 minutes of ordering. It was waiting when he got there. The orange chicken was a disappointment. Spongy batter and the predominant flavor was soy sauce despite all the glaze. I found the noodles bland on first taste but as they cooled and I ate more, they somehow improved and by half way through I felt we'd found a good lo mein source. We might try a few more things but this place is expensive for what is it. $45 for these two things and the Yelp app marks each item up by about $3 - 4 versus what is listed on their menu. Guess that's the price of convenience but I've never seen that discrepancy before in all the years of Yelping.

This is my go-to Cantonese mom and pop shop - they are from southern China and being Cantonese, they are legit. I get my usual food as posted below but they actually have seasonal veggies if you ask them. Flavors are great and authentic!

I was disappointed today with the quality of food. Definitely not coming here during busy times/ days. We ordered seafood with tofu in a clay pot. Food came out on a serving plate instead. The server just said sorry and did not offer an explanation. I paid extra for the clay pot otherwise i could've just ordered other dishes. The temperature of the food wasn't the same all around the plate. Half of the dish was hot and half was just warm. The shrimp and scallop could use an additional minute to cook. Rice was undercooked as well. Hopefully next visit will be better.

Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you... this place is a hidden gem! The owners are always on-site and very friendly. The service is attentive and accurate, and even if the restaurant is busy, our orders have always come out quickly, hot, accurate, and tasty. (Today, we ordered potstickers, Singapore (curried) noodles with chicken, shrimp & pork, and combination kung pao (scallops, shrimp & beef). Tang's Wok is always great food, service & value... this has become our go-to Chinese restaurant.

I'm so sad Tang's Wok has closed. I found out when I planned to bring my momma there. The food was always delicious. The service always so personal and accomodating. I will forever miss your vegetable Kung Pao with cashews and Veggie fried rice. I will miss your smiling faces too. Enjoy your retirement!

Had dim sum at Tang's today. They have a small but mighty selection. We had five dishes and they were all authentic and can to our table hot. The seaweed roll and cha sui buns were standouts. So glad we stopped by Tang's as it has been three years that I ordered my favorite noodle dish. We will be back next time we are needing a dim sum fix

Family run business sweet kind owners. they make some of the best Chinese I have had. Absolutely the best egg foo young I have ever had!

I ordered via post mates since their dining room Was closed when I tried to visit. I was really Excited to try their dim sum I've been craving it and there really isn't anywhere in Vancouver that has it. I loved everything I ordered: steam BBQ pork buns, Siu Mai, shrimp dumpling and honey walnut shrimp. I appreciated that it was packed in a way the sauce was separate as to not get soggy. My boyfriend however did not enjoy his meal, to be fair he is a bit more picky and less adventurous when it comes to food but the sweet and sour chicken sauce was extremely watery/runny not appetizing. I realize when ordering to-go/delivery things aren't always how they'd be at the table dining in but it really wasn't good. I would be willing to eat here again but just probably stick to more of the steamed items.

I always go out of my way to stop here when visiting the area! Some of my favorite dishes ever can be had here. Everything is super fresh, authentic and just delicious. It's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu here. Some of my favs are the dry string beans, sateed pea sprouts, honey walnut shrimp, egg foo young, general tsaos chicken and kung pao chicken. Perfect for takeout or dining in!

C'mon in and meet Yang and Tommy! this is the husband and wife Team at Yang's and this is a very place for you to try... the food quality is excellent and Tommy is standing by to prepare delicious dishes in an authentic style with fresh ingredients and a delightful presentation... Just had a noodle and chicken dish that was absolutely terrific and substantially portioned... shoulda taken half of it home but I couldn't stop eating the dish... yum! I did feel that their pricing was a little high but that's just how it is... and I did miss an opportunity to enjoy a combination plate but what the heck... nice people and really nice cuisine... the quality of their food speaks for itself!

Tang's Wok is a hole in the wall with delicious food. They seem to be busy most every time we have been there. They say on their website to ring the bell but that may have been a vestige of the Covid scourge. They also have dim sum which we have yet to try. It seems as though most of their business is take out but there usually are at least a few seated diners. We don't like the fact that the Yelp website goes through Grubhub. If there are any problems or questions, it is very difficult to contact the restaurant directly. There is an added layer of unnecessary layer of bureaucracy and expense. We do recommend Tang's for their consistently good food.

Come give this restaurant a try. It is a mom and pops operation but with great tasting authentic Chinese food, not the Westernized version. I ordered the salt and pepper squid which tasted great but could use a little less oil. My wife ordered the sizzling vegetable and yes it was definitely sizzling.

Friendly and welcoming people greeted me! I was a bit hesitant coming here but after reading all the reviews I figured I would take a chance. For those of you who appreciate great cooking skills this is not a place to miss! Chef Tommy prepares authentic Cantonese dishes prepared with the quality and attention it deserves! Plus, the dim sum chef makes all his dumplings from scratch! There's so much skill and attention to quality that it will be part of my regular tour! Ambiance is understated and simple, don't come for the ambiance, come for the food! Next time I will call ahead and order the live fish from his off menu!! What a treat find this gem! Lots of nonmeat dishes to choose from!

In a sea of mediocre Chinese restaurants in Portland and Vancouver. This place is very good. Been coming here for a while and they never disappoint. I'm vegan and I generally either dine in alone or with meat eating friends. And I get take away once and a while too.The eggplant tofu green bean is really good and the mixed vegetables is also delicious. My friends really like the shrimp chop suey or the shrimp with noodles or chicken with veggies. Nothing is ever too salty or too sweet and the veggies always are cooked correctly; still have a nice crunch and not over cooked. The folks that own this place are nice and when time permits always step out to the dinning room and ask you if your enjoying your food. They are located in a strip mall with its own parking lot. The dinning area is limited 6 tables. . Just like every place prices have gone up here too. Average between $15 and $17 for each dish. Portions are spot on.

Yum! Went here for my brothers birthday and everything was so flavorful and delicious, and food came out in a good amount of time. The worker checked on us frequently, made great suggestions, boxed our food, and even brought a little treat.

We were up in Vancouver for a doctor and looked for a nearby places to eat and this came up looking really good. We actually came in and sat down for dinner on a weeknight. At first was worried as there was not many inside and they didn't help us to quickly as they were busy prepping togo orders in the back. But after they realized we were there we were treated great. Yeah the place is small, yeah the place looks a bit rundown (paint chipping off the walls), you have to walk through small (but from i saw pretty clean) kitchen to use restroom, but it is amazing. The friendliness of staff, the variety of menu, the food, the tea, its all just amazing. The dim sum offerings were amazing - cabbage and pork potstickers were mouthwatering but the star of the show was the lotus buns. But the main dishes were incredible too. Pork Fried rice and hunan chicken were just all around solid versions. It was fun using the spinning tabletop to cycle through dishes! Sitting there watching order after order come out togo made me amazed at how fast they came out with our stuff despite such a small kitchen. Great job on this place and we look forward to coming back!

Good food. We used to go there all the time. Then we saw their food safety/cleanliness reports. :(

1-1.5/5. Why? Taste vs pricing vs portions. Taste: The only slightly above average item was the pan fried vegetable dumpling via dim sum menu. Everything was average to below average. Walnut shrimp tasted like shrimp smothered with mayonnaise. Walnuts were not crunchy and not sweet. All noodle dishes ordered ( beef fried rice noodles, pork lo mein, chicken lo mein, all 3 were just noodles with soy sauce and no umami, no garlic, ginger or any other kind of distinguishing pop of flavor you would expect of good Asian cuisine. And this theme was apparent for all the dishes ordered. Everything tasted the same from the Mongolian beef to the noodles to the fried rice. The only flavor I tasted was soy sauce and some dishes looked like they were drenched in soy sauce (dark soy color) but seemed to lack salt or tasted like nothing at all. It looks good then you bite into it and nothing but disappointment. Salt pepper calamari lacks crisp and had slight heat with fish sauce note but it was greasy and not crispy, Sweet sour chicken could have used some onions and peppers which I like but was crispy at least. It's sauce was average. Pricing vs portions: My biggest complaint is I paid $18 for honey walnut shrimp and they have me a half filled plate of like 8pcs of tiny shrimp. And the sauce itself was the worst walnut shrimp I have tasted. The calamari was the same I did 2 orders each totaling $40+ @ 20.95 each. Get your calamari at Saigon off of fourth plain they can give you better and for less whereas Tang wok lacks texture, is greasy and above all else cost versus portions. Don't get it it's greasy and lacks crispy texture. Don't get the bbq pork bao buns on the dim sum menu. It was the most dry, chalky manapua aka pork bao I have had and it's presentation is exactly what it tastes like. Unappealing. The filling is decent but if you don't mind biting into some dry disgusting 2 day old bun then go ahead. Overall: Definitely 1/5. I spent $230 for a last minute birthday dinner pick up order and regret it. I have ordered from them before and they were great! Tasty, wonderful garlicky umami flavor back then but this was like 1.5 years ago. This place has gone downhill. I will not be back ever again and I don't recommend it.

Been meaning to try Tang's Wok for a long time ever since we delivered food to someone from here once. Prices always seemed a bit high so that was a deterrent. Everyone kept recommending them so I bit the bullet and decided to just try them out! First time I ordered from Tang's Wok, I got their vegetable fried rice and crab puffs. Both were really good and flavorful. I could tell they used high quality ingredients and everything tasted fresh and homemade, not like chain Chinese food but actually authentic. Tried them again a few days later and ordered vegetable lo mein, and sesame chicken with rice. I liked the lo mein but it was a little too saucy and wet. The sesame chicken I wasn't too sure about as the meat was extremely hard and chewy. Maybe they used muscle meat or red meat but I don't know if I liked the texture very much. I liked their sauce marinade for the chicken but the meat, not so much. Didn't taste bad or anything, just too tough. The sauce they provided was a sweet and sour kind of sauce and I assumed it was for the crab puffs I ordered on the side. The sauce had a bad aftertaste though, almost metallic. It really put me off the food. I ate the crab puffs by themselves and tossed the sauce. The first time I ordered, the food was much better quality than the second time. Perhaps because I was the last order of the day? I don't know. I just don't think I'll go back because their prices are very high and they're also rather inconsistent quality-wise. My search for a high-quality, authentic Chinese restaurant continues!

Was planning on dinning in but my son started to get fussy so we ended up doing take out. It worked out because dine in isn't an option at the moment. We ordered some dim sum shumai, bbq pork buns, and Chinese sausage buns. We also got a lunch plate with fried rice, spring roll and sweet n sour chicken, and another plate of beef LO mein. The food was great when we got home to eat everything was still steaming hot. The shumai was a little bland but the soy sauce and hot mustard fixed it. They used diced up pieces of pork in the shumai so it was a little chewy I did like that they put tobiko on it. BBQ pork buns and Chinese sausage buns was great the bun wasn't dry. My son loved the beef lo mein noodles. The sweet n sour chicken was crispy and fried rice was yummy. Staff was friendly. I can't wait to go back and try other food on their menu.

Been here before covid and it was pretty good. DON'T order the Curry chicken!! Chicken wasn't sauteed it was raw added to a bunch of onions and a few slices of green red peppers. The Curry didn't taste like any kind of curry I have ever eaten. I couldn't eat it. Won't be back.

Ordered take away and knew I was going to be disappointed when all I could smell was MSG! Yes, it has a smell! I ordered the beef with wide rice noodles and the eggplant with green beans and both were awful. The rice noodles were pure mush and there was very little beef-just a lot of bean sprouts and gravy. The eggplant and green beans were served with large cubes of tofu and the whole dish was literally swimming in oil. Despite the strong smell wafting from the styrophome containers, it was tasteless. Spent $40 on garbage- that's where it went. Only thing I ate was the steamed rice and a packet of soy sauce :( If the owners read this- please give me a credit-I would be glad to use it towards more rice!

Got takeout recently because the place becomes very crowded at mealtime. Excellent food - love the fried sticky rice, eggplant with salty fish and chicken, and house rice noodles. Price is a bit high - $18 for just about every dish - but the price of Chinese food has been going up through the roof everywhere I've noticed.

I don't even want to give this place a star at all. I've never experienced this kind of disrespectful service! I ordered the food and the lady said "oh that is so much food. Do you want to take something off the order?" I was with my young girls and we have been trying to find a sit down restaurant to eat some good Chinese. My girls weren't rude or disrespectful and neither was I. After she said that, I told her that they were no longer serving lunch specials so I didn't have a choice and she still asked me if there was anything I wanted to take off my order...It was pork fried rice, chow mein, sweet and sour chicken, a cup of hot and sour soup and dumplings....That's all. She was very persistent about it. I told her that we were leaving without a fuss. We all wanted something different and I was ok with bringing food home....Wow...I will never come here ever again.

Heard about Tangs through several online recommendations. Since the pandemic hit, several of our once favorite Asian spots have closed down. Anyway, this place had many folks raving about the dishes served and affordable prices so we wanted to give them a shot. I placed an online order and headed out with the hubby. It was clear across town for us but I figured we could run an errand or two while out. And it was a good thing I had things to do because that place was busy. Folks were waiting just inside the entrance as well as in their cars, and when we went in, we were told that they had to extend the time even further. No problem. We headed across the street to the grocery store to grab a few things. After receiving a text that the order was ready, we headed back. It smelled amazing inside and I hoped that whatever I was smelling was what we ordered. Though I placed the order online, I had to pay inside the restaurant. I didn't care for the way they set this system up. Online, they asked for the tip amount. And when you pay in the restaurant, they added that amount you put to the total bill they print out for you as if it was part of the food. There is now a second opportunity to tip. No bueno. I explained to the worker that I had added the tip online and she says, "Yes, yes, just skip that part". I do and head home. The food was fantastic! I especially loved the salt and pepper squid (with jalepenos) was super tasty and I could have waited that with just steam rice. The flavors were great with the szechuan chicken, wonton soup, and the garlic shrimp. The Chow Mein side we upgraded to was nicely cooked. My only disappointment was with the beef dish. The cut and quality was not good and frankly, it was really off putting. I picked that meat off my plate and ate the rest. In all, I was very happy with the meal and will definitely be back.

The best place for authentic delicious food! The service is great and the food is delicious! Definitely recommend trying their dim sum menu! Glad I found this place so close to me!

This is a small hole-in-the-wall family run restaurant that was VERY busy with both dine-in and take-out traffic when we visited, resulting in long wait times. There are only about 6-7 tables in the whole place. Prices are a bit high, at $16-$18 per dish. However the food was excellent.

Egg rolls were decent but the sesame chicken wasn't even edible. I think they used scratch pieces of chicken, very fatty and chewy, my husband nor I could even eat it. Super disappointed :(

A friend and I shared a big takeout order of General Tso's chicken with a side of vegetable lo mein, beef & broccoli with a side of vegetable fried rice, and egg rolls. The batter for the egg rolls had an amazing flavor and were perfectly fried, the gracy for the beef with broccoli was so savory, and the general tso's had heat but wasn't out of control. But really the thing to write home about is the lo mein! I feel like whenever I go to Asian restaurants and get a noodle dish, it always comes out kind of gelatinous. This was perfectly done, great noodles with just the right amount of sauce. Add large portion sizes to all this deliciousness and I think I found a new favorite!

Excellent food and service. I had the Eggplant, green beans and tofu. I highly recommend it.

Sorry I have to agree with a previous review. The food is tasteless. Wonton soup has no flavor at all. Ordered some dim sum items and they're all just very mediocre. Very disappointed as I had heard good things about Tang's Wok

Probably the best authentic Cantonese food in the area. Moved here from the SF bay area and have been missing great tasting Cantonese style dishes. The chow fun and brisket were excellent. The drive is worth it!

I really wanted to like this place as it is close to me, but... The egg foo yung was inedible - dry, hard, with inappropriate veggies. The dim sum we ordered were meh. The hot and sour soup and the wonton soup were good, though. Will try again, maybe got them on an off day.

Hands down best Chinese Food around! This mom and pop restaurant serves up delicious authentic food. Dim Sum is fresh and everything else on the menu is just as good. Id give them 10 stars if I could.

I ordered the beef and broccoli lunch special with comes with vegetable fried rice and a spring roll. My order was just under $13. The flavor was okay. This location appears to have decent Chinese food and a friendly staff. My order was prepared quickly which was nice. Parking was in a shopping Plaza type lot. I would return again to see what other menu items taste like. The food appeared clean and you are only able to order take out at this time. As a plus, they offer these little candies which are so tasty and fun.

I guess I don't follow why if it's takeout only the lunch specials wouldn't be offered. If anything it's better because now they never have to worry about serving soup. But I digress. I ended up getting the general tso combination with pork fried rice and fried shrimp. Fried shrimp was mostly a miss. I recognize this as the mass produced premade one I've seen many times before. I've had worse. The pork fried rice has merely an essence of pork. I had to really dig in there to find the pork. The general tso was pretty good. Decent spice. Good consistency. Not metallic tasting but way too much sauce. I would have rated higher if I had been charged nearly half the amount as a lunch special.

Ordered House Special Wonton soup...very good...light broth...handmade wontons....veggies...noodles served in a separate container to maintain freshness...nice touch. Ordered online and pick up was exactly as promised. Will return!

My fiancé and I were looking for a good dim sum spot in Vancouver, CA. We ended up trying Tam's Wok since they had a wide variety of items on the menu. We were amazed how good it was. Everything was fresh. The dumplings were delicious and so was the egg flour soup. My fiancé ordered the salt and pepper fish and he loved it. The Owners were very nice and friendly. They made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be coming back to this little gem.

"Real" Chinese food. Taste is kind of bland for American palates but good quality and healthy.

Even with a crowd of four, with each one of us having a particular palate, we all really enjoyed this small family run place. The outside is unassuming and the interior is modest but who cares?! The food is really tasty. It's not often that the owner-chef actually comes out and takes a genuine interest in a new customer's critique and opinion. Tommy came to our table and clearly takes pride in his cooking prowess. Thanks for a fun experience.

You know this place is bomb when all the Asians eat here ;) ! It's hard to find a good and modern Chinese restaurant, and this hit the spot for me fo sure !! Love the atmosphere-- cool central bar with a couple TVs , wood accents . Great integration with an interior window so you can see the workers freshly folding dumplings . All staff were very nice and attentive. Food was GREAT, fresh and large portions. We had an array of things from cocktails, soup dumplings, fried rice , stir fry. Wish this location was closer to home as I'd be here more often to try more dishes;) Until next time though Tang Restaurant !

I ordered take-out and I recently moved to the Camas/Vancouver area, and as a second generation Chinese American who loves/values good Chinese food, I am so glad this place is here! :-) I have lived in the Bay Area and in the Portland metro areas for years, and so I was worried there will not be too many good options for more authentic Chinese food here (I enjoy less authentic Chinese food too, don't get me wrong haha, but having access to more authentic recipes/dishes are important to me too!). I had take-out here during the Covid-19 pandemic, and my family and I enjoyed our food. We look forward to this pandemic to be over, so we can go dine inside the restaurant more often! :-)

Exceptional Chinese cuisine. A great variety of authentic dishes from various parts of China. They also have World Class, high quality, Dim Sum selection. Very generous portions at reasonable prices.

Fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. We had steamed Ling Cod, Fried Dungeness crab, Beef Stew with Daikon Radish, and Mixed vegetables. The best Chinese Meal we have had in the region. The Owner Tommy is a passionate chef and his wife Ying is friendly and relatable. Their success is customer experience although English is not perfect. An amazing immigrant story!

My favorite Chinese restaurant within 100 miles of Vancouver, WA. Every dish is fresh, piping hot when it reaches your table. Vegetables are lightly crisp and sauce is never too heavy. Pork fried rice and prawns with green beans in black bean sauce are a must. The restaurant is small, casual, and unassuming. If you're picky about decor, take a hike. If you love excellent Chinese food, eat here! The owners are so nice and great great customer service. Love that they serve authentic dishes.

Best Chinese food in Vancouver. A bit pricey but good overall. Better for carry out rather than dining inside.

Been going here for a long time so I dont know what happened but the last couple orders of Generals Chicken have been dry and stringy. so I will not be returning. It was like something was made a few days ago and heated up.

It is so nice to have them reopen for inside dining! This is five star food in a fairly suburban or lowbrow setting. The lunch menu is a great deal and the dinner menu is very wide ranging.
