The Wok Chinese Cuisine

The food wasn’t bad but wasn’t amazing. Pretty basic in taste. We got the vegetable dinner combo and the shrimp chow fun. The appetizer that came with the combo of the crab cheese puff and egg roll was really just one of each. The egg drop soup and chow mein were my favorite. It was more food than I expected. Not sure if I’ll go back.

This is the best restaurant I’ve eaten at during my week of skiing in Tahoe — even more authentic than many Chinese restaurants in Boston! The service was also incredibly warm. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Reno!

I and my wife dropped in this Chinese restaurant near the venue of our square dance workshop in Reno. We just want to have a quick stop-N-go lunch. However, the quality of services and taste of food are way above and beyond our expectations. We ordered only one cuisine to share in the beginning. We ended up with 3 cuisines including fish, beef, lamb and pork. They all taste so delicious. We give the restaurant two thumbs up and definitely another visit next time we stopped by Reno.

I’m from Orange County, where I’ve had my fair share of authentic Chinese food, so I was pleasantly surprised to find The Wok in Reno delivering the same level of authenticity. I ordered from the “authentic” section of the menu, and every dish was on par with the best spots back home. The cumin beef, spicy braised beef with potatoes, and spicy boiled pickled fish were all packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. If you’re a regular spicy food eater, I’d recommend asking for extra spicy to really get that kick. Portion sizes are generous, and for the price, I felt like I got great value. It’s rare to find such authentic Chinese food outside major metropolitan areas, but The Wok definitely hits the mark!

My favorite Chinese food in Reno!!! Always fresh and delicious with a calm atmosphere.. as a native NEW YORKER this place is the best hands down worth the money

This is my first time in Reno and I was craving Chinese food. I looked this place up and ubered 5 miles to get here. Oh man what a score! We had the Cantonese dinner for 2. Everything was on point! Our two entrees was Mongolian Beef and Sesame chicken. It was soo delicious and such huge portions. Pictures will show you! I recommend this place to anyone who loves good authentic Chinese food. The host was also super friendly and asked how where we were from and how our day was going, etc. which is rare anymore

As a Chinese native, I can confidently say this is the most authentic Sichuan/Chongqing food in town. We ordered '39 Spicy Boiled Beef and Fish (水煮两样)' and '13 Deep Fry Tofu W/Beef in Spicy Sauce (熊掌豆腐)'—both were absolutely bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and generously portioned. Even my American friend who joined me couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. If you’re craving real Sichuan spice and comfort, this is the place to go.

For the food to be priced, the way it is you would expect quality over quantity. I paid almost $25 for a shrimp dinner and I got majority sides. The dinner is supposed to come with an egg roll. When I let them know that mine was missing the lady in the back lied and said that there were not any just to bring me out one 3 minutes later with an attitude.The rice and the chow main was extremely dry with little to no flavor. I got 5 pieces of shrimp that tasted very old like it was reheated or set around for a while. Very underwhelming. I will not be eating here again. You can go somewhere else for better food same quantity for probably a better price.

My family and I have been loyal customers since the beginning! The food is always delicious and the service is amazing and very friendly! Always a welcoming vibe! Definitely recommend!

The service was amazing and on point, the atmosphere was also good and the food was amazing and flawless.

The Wok is hands down the most authentic and delicious Chinese restaurant in town. The dishes are fresh and well presented, and all taste amazing. I'm partial to the Dang Dang noodles and Salt and Pepper Tofu. Staff is nice and accommodating. Never had a complaint at this place.

Having lived in the Bay Area for several decades, finding good authentic Chinese has never been a real challenge. Finding good Chinese in Reno, well, not so easy. A Chinese friend of ours suggested to try "The Wok" in Sparks. Ahh, good Chinese !! We went during the lunch hour and it is always a good sign when most, if not all of the patrons are Chinese in a Chinese Restaurant. We ordered more than we needed but were eager to try the food. Egg Rolls. They were hot, crispy and delicious. We were off to a good start with the Vegetable Egg Rolls. Next came the Pork with Green Beans. One of my favorite dishes, I was cautiously opptimistic. No worries here, they were amazing. The Green Beans were fresh, flavorful and the right amount of snap. It was accompanied with minced pork and drizzled with a light sauce. Perfection. Next up was the Salt and Pepper Pork. They were fine, just not what we were expecting. Just not the same as what we would order in the Bay Area. Moving on. The final dish was the Braised Beef with Potatoes. O-M-G !! This dish was amazing. The Beef tasted as though it had been simmering for days. So tender. The sauce was rich and flavorful and the potatoes were cooked just right. Just enough to not be aldente but still hold their shape and flavor. When we are looking for good Chinese, The Wok is our new place to go.

The wok was fine, and we ordered to-go so we could eat at home. The food was good, no doubt--but goodness, the price! For what we got, it felt a bit steep. Not sure if I'll be ordering from here again anytime soon. The service was okay, but I didn't appreciate the staff speaking in their own language right in front of customers. It comes off as a bit rude and unprofessional. If you're working in a customer-facing role, it's important to be mindful of how that might make people feel.

Came across this place while passing through Reno and wow, what a find! Stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon and tried the lunch special great portions and super tasty. Janet, who took our order, was so friendly and welcoming. She really made the experience even better with her hospitality and great service. If you live in Reno, are visiting, or just driving through like we were, definitely put this spot on your list for authentic Chinese food.

This is not my first rodeo at The Wok. Everything I've eaten here has been flavorful and tastes fresh. I was undecided when I walked in today, but once I saw fresh green beans being prepared I was sold!!!! I chose the $16.95 LUNCH SPECIAL: Green Beans & Pork. It comes with Egg Drop Soup, a Crispy Potsticker, a Crab Rangoon and either noodles or fried rice.... I chose rice. These beans are so tender and the pork is tasty. In my opinion, the serving size is large enough to share when meeting a girlfriend for lunch, or enough to fill you up and take home a serving for lunch at the office.

This is becoming our favorite Chinese Restaurant in Reno. Great food and great service! There is no need for anything more! Quality/Quantity - Very extensive menu. Complimentary soup. Today we got the following: #9. Green Bean with Pork. #10. Sesame Chicken Dinner Combo. #20. Braised Beef with Potato. Atmosphere - This obviously used to be a Wendy's, lol. Table or booth seating. Open 6 days a week from 11am to 9pm or 9:30pm; closed Wednesdays. Plenty of mall parking. Service - 5 stars, both the husband and wife owners frequented our table to make sure we were good. They checked up on us often, offered us more water, etc. We took half of each order to-go, and asked for only one box.The wife offered two separate boxes and utensils (we declined). Again, great service. Price - $77 + tip. Includes a credit card fee of $2.75. More and more businesses in Reno are having CC fees. Starting to feel like I am in Australia again. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success and your 10 year anniversary last April (2024)!!

Definitely a must if you're craving Chinese. Their Dinner Combo includes a crab Rangoon, egg roll, soup, fried rice, chicken chowmein, and an entree of your choice. Prices range from $20-23, but you get a lot of food. The chowmein is so good. Really flavorful and hits the spot each time. I'm not the biggest fan of their fried rice. It lacks flavor and is kind of dry, but the chowmein makes up for it. Our go to is the lemon chicken. It's a breaded chicken breast and includes lemon dipping sauce. It's nice that it's on the side, so the chicken stays crispy. We also ordered the Walnut shrimp for the first time and will definitely order it again. Im generally not a big fan of battered seafood, but it had a good ratio to meat. The shrimp were also big and cooked perfectly. Their egg drop is also really good and not thick and goopy. The restaurant is always clean and generally gets pretty packed. The service is touch and go with friendliness. Overall, the food is good and the pricing is on the higher end. I recommend trying it for yourself if you haven't already checked out this location.

I love the salt and pepper shrimp here, the best hands down. Comes with the head on and skin which is like essential when getting a fried shrimp for me. It also has a good batter and well fried with a big portion.

#20 Braised Beef & Potato, spicy! This was referred by a fellow Foodie and I just cannot quit ordering it every visit! The most unique flavors. I usually drop in the bowl of rice into it for maximum umami. The curry chicken is my 2nd favorite, nothing but hits all day, no matter what we order. Staff has always been 110%. Love this place.

After eating Chinese food for 3 days last weekend, my craving for Chinese food was still going strong. Decided to check out the local digs here in Northern Nevada and ordered take out from The Wok Chinese Cuisine. Ordered the bitter melon with spareribs. Loved the flavor. Not salty. Very authentic. Also ordered the egg foo young with shrimp and this was equally as good, and I can't wait to have more for breakfast tomorrow morning! Delivery was quick. Large portions. Price is comparable. So nice to have this option in Northern Nevada!

Great service and fantastic food! Hana Garden was unexpectedly closed for the day, and I needed a soup alternative to satisfy my cravings. I Yelped and remembered I had The Wok saved on my "try" list. I'm so glad, because it turned out to be a great choice. The Wok offers Chinese-American and traditional Chinese items on their menu. I was a bit skeptical of their traditional menu since it's Reno, but it was surprisingly authentic. I ordered the spicy beef noodle soup, and it completely satisfied my craving for mala food. I highly recommend it and will definitely become a regular here.

The Wok is a restaurant that I keep returning to even though it is a trek across town to do so now. It continues to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in Reno or sparks. Their food continues to be excellent and I can honestly say that I have never had a disappointing meal here. The owner always greets me by name when I arrive which means a lot and my drink order shows up without me even ordering it they know me so well. If you are looking for authentic Chinese food or the Americanized version The Wok has you covered. Make sure you give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Good things come in small packages and this one doesn't disappoint. TIP and read it twice the dinner combo can feed two people easily. It's an enormous amount of food. chicken, rice, noodles, soup and 2 egg rolls. The service is top notch, all of the servers were very friendly and always checked up on us.

The Wok Chinese Cuisine is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking available. The design of the building and interior bones reminds me of Wendy's. But, it's a simple restaurant with a lot of windows. The owners are super nice and friendly. Glad to see the place was busy with diners eating in and their kitchen with plenty of takeout orders. We're grateful the owner told us we had ordered too much food because their portion-sizes are big. Twice Cooked Pork - thin cuts of pork belly tossed with jalapeños, onions, green onions, and Chinese black beans. I wish it had more of the numbing peppercorns she had mentioned when she described it. It was good nonetheless. Black Pepper Beef: tender beef with green pepper onion in black pepper sauce. They tenderized their beef well! The dish was good, but personally I like more ground pepper in my sauce. But people at my table liked it as it was. My wife was able to eat it, so that's a plus. BBQ Pork Chow Fun - the bbq pork was done well (fresh and flavorful). The noodles were soft and not oily. Nicely done. We wanted the Garlic A Choy, but they were out. Which is understandable. We settled on the Stir Fry Potatoes with garlic. They also had some unique dishes I have to try on my own, as I didn't want to subject my friends to my taste (Pork Intestines, beef stew, beef tripe). I was surprised that had bitter melon on the menu. I think they said they have been around for 10 years. Best of luck to them. From somebody who loves in the Bay Area, where we have a lot of good Chinese and Asian food. This place does a good job of bringing Cantonese and other regional area food to Reno. Come and support this local business!

Wonderful authentic food, taste just like it was made at home. Great size portions enough for leftovers. Great and efficient service.

I recently ordered takeout from here and was very pleased. I ordered my family and I all different meal combos and for the price of the food we got very good quality and a big quantity. When I went to pick the food up the staff was extremely friendly and well organized. I definitely recommend if you are in the mood for Chinese!

We're visiting Reno and try this restaurant after golfing and so glad I found the place in Yelp, everything was so delicious and servers was very nice and friendly.

Best Chinese cuisine in town! I always stop by here whenever I'm in Reno. I always come back for more. Come see for yourself! Also, don't sleep on their Mapo tofu with pork!

This place is such a hidden gem! The Wok is my default Chinese food restaurant in Reno. Living cross country from my Asian mothers' home cooking, this is where I go for Asian comfort food. It has all your classic dishes; Beef with Broccoli, Honey Walnut shrimp, hearty Wonton Soup (with tons of veggies, YUM). If you're an adventurous eater they have the super authentic dishes on the back page. My husband loves the Dan Dan noodles, I've tried a bunch of the Salt and Pepper dishes (Tofu, Eggplant, Calamari, Shrimp) and they're all FIRE. Salt & Pepper tofu is probably my favorite, so soft and melts in your mouth! The Chicken Wings with Dry Chili Pepper Sauce is incredible with crazy Szechuan peppercorns that are spicy and mouth numbing but not over the top. I love this place, the service is fast and efficient. The portions are always generous here too, so definitely bring your appetite!

I love this place more and more each time I go. I don't remember where I heard that they slayed the Szechuan cuisine but they do and if you can disseminate the menu with a little help from their friendly staff you're gonna be happy. All of the dishes we ordered were so well prepared. Thus place us always jammed and I love this for them. Us too as the more the merrier is my motto as it always makes for a great dining vibe which is an equally valued part of any dining experience. Great service and a hidden gem for Reno that's been around for a while. Worth the drive from south Reno .

This restaurant is fantastic! Their food is full of flavor and tastes just like a home cooked meal. Their service is phenomenal. The food always comes out fast and they're patient with all their customers. No matter how many times me and my family have been here, they've always been consistent. I brought my family from Seattle to The Wok and they fell in love with it too, we even went two times in a row! The environment is amazing as well. The bathrooms are always clean and the place is constantly clean. We aren't from Nevada so whenever we take a trip here we make sure to eat at The Wok at least once. So, if you are looking to eat a heart warming meal in a friendly restaurant, this is the place to be!

Absolutely fantastic Chinese food. This is a "hole in the wall" location for sure. However the food was simply amazing. I ordered nine dishes ranging from fried rice, noodles, soup, poultry, seafood and beef. Everything was so delicious and the serving sizes were ample for the price. The salt and pepper shrimp was fantastic, along with the crispy pan fried noodle chow mein which I always get at any Chinese restaurant. I'm a very happy customer and it's unfortunate I don't live in Reno to keep coming back. The staff was kind and friendly. All the food came out at the same time which is always ideal and we didn't have to wait long. The seating inside is ample and bathroom was clean. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

It was my friend Michelle's Birthday and I said "where do you want to go to have din din"? Well you know my favorite Chinese restaurant on Oddie so we went there last night. We got our same booth and the ladies there are very welcoming! We sat down to look at the menu and right away they asked us what we wanted to drink and brought back 2 Diet Pepsi's with lemon. They're generous with free refills. Michelle and I both ordered the General's Chicken. I've gone with Michelle 3 times and it's always huge portions with soup, egg roll, and fried wonton included at dinner its about $20 a plate, but that's about three portions for me to take home and enjoy the next day! Who does not love Chinese for Breakfast heated up the next morning? I would highly recommend going here for Chinese, I know the area might be a little sketchy, but the dinner is definitely worth it!!! One thing don't forget to bring cash so you don't have to pay the annoying credit card fee.

Delicious food, attentive service and generous portions. Very high quality fresh ingredients combined into delicious entrees.

TLDR: Chicken Lettuce Cups. I really wanted to give this a higher star review, mainly because it's obviously a family-owned restaurant, with the added bonus that the parents are from HK. Super-friendly, not just to us because of my HK wife, but I noticed she was chatty with all customers, be they white or Chinese. Her Mandarin is not that great, with a thick Canto accent that even _I_ could understand. But if we set aside the friendliness, the food just is average. We would still prefer Kwok Bistro. However, if the Bistro is every full or closed due to a private event, then may I suggest you try this place? It's a little bit geared toward the ABC crowd, as they serve forks, but they still make a concession to their roots by providing chopsticks. This dichotomy is even present in the menu, where the front of the menu is mainly populated by "American Chinese" food, while they have 1 page in the back, devoted to the Chinese Chinese food. My wife ordered a bowl of soup, which she thought was ok. I liked the lettuce cups, especially when it's reinforced by double lettuce to make it more sturdy. The cups that only have 1 thin leaf, it's hard to hold. The chicken was cooked well. We also ordered the salt and pepper spareribs. It was too bony for me. There was even one piece that were 3 ribs still attached together, so it made it really hard to get at the meat in between the ribs. Overall, a bit hard to eat mechanically. The last thing we ordered was the traditional fried noodle... the crunchy kind. Unfortunately, the noodles weren't really crunchy... I've had crispier for sure. Overall, this place is a bit lower than Kwok's. However, the place is much bigger.

Very busy dinner time on a Tuesday night. Good service, good sized portions and tasty authentic Chinese food.

I owe this place a twelve star review, but I've got to be honest I'm way way way too full right now. Just know, that come tomorrow I've got some amazing things to say about this place. You know it's good when you go to order one more dish and the waitress says "but you already have so much food at your table."

I can't imagine how this restaurant got a 4.4 out of 5. My three stars is generous, would have done 2.5 if I could. The food is mediocre, not great. Cashew shrimp was made with a ton of zucchini, no celery and tasted way too garlicky. Everything else was blah, including pot stickers. Plus it was all overpriced. We got take-out, so can't comment on ambiance or service.

Coming from the Bay Area and having eaten authentic Chinese dishes in many provinces of China, this place really hits all the marks! This restaurant tastes like it belongs in the East Bay Area selection of pre-COVID era Chinese restaurants. There's a great selection between "American chop suey" foods for more Americanized tastes and a great selection of Authentic Chinese food. We ordered the 水煮鱼片 (Spicy Boiled Fish Filet Soup)，辣子鸡翅 (Spicy Fried Chicken Wings Stir Fry)，and 干煸四季豆 (Stir Fry Green Beans). Most dishes had moderate spice, but mostly numbing 麻辣 (mala) spices like szechuan peppercorn, dried peppers, and more. Portions were extremely big too, we ordered 3 dishes plus white rice ($3 per bowl, but if you're in a party of people, then additional rice refills are complementary) for our group of 4 people. Before we ordered, we were planning to order 4 dishes, but as soon as we saw the entrees being handed out, we knew 3 dishes would suffice. Seems like a family-owned business with first generation Chinese owners, so please try to be as patient as possible if any language barrier! Overall, this place could compete with many places in the Bay. May be a little bit on the pricier side but it's the best I've had in Reno.

Great food, amazing service. Every dish was tasty and did not disappoint. Definitely a hidden gem.

Not worth the price. I've had better food and service in town. Went to get take out, and my child sat down in an empty seat while I ordered, and the employee started telling my child to stand up and they couldn't sit down at the table if I was ordering take out. The dining area is small and cramped with small tables as if you're eating at a fast food place. We won't be back.

This is our go-to restaurant every time we're in Reno. Clean environment, friendly service, delicious food (suitable for our family's taste) and large quantity. The restaurant owner will make the dish less spicy and less salty according to our request.

My son went there and food is awesome. .every plate that comes out is beautiful and service is great

Awesome Chinese food in town. Reasonable price, tasty food. Recommended. My favorite are spicy beef soup, sautéed bean, and tofu dish is a must try.

This was our first time to Wok Chinese Cuisine and it was a very nice dinner experience. It's been on my Yelp list for awhile and we finally had a chance to visit. I ordered the shrimp with vegetables sizzling platter. Presentation at the table was impressive as our server gal poured the dish ingredients into a cast iron plate that beautifully sizzled. The sauce was flavorful and the shrimp and veggies cooked just right. my hubby ordered the multi-component dinner plate with chicken and mushrooms. His plate also included soup, an eggroll, chow mein and fried rice. He shared tastes with me and my favorite part were the noodles--great flavor! His plate was plentiful!! All of the dish portions are definitely shareable and truly a good value even though the prices when reviewing the menu seem high at first glance. Leftovers will provide a second meal. We'll order family style next time to try more things. This place would be great for a group gathering! The dining room is pleasant and quiet enough for conversations. It's a well-done remodeled Wendy's from the past. Our multiple server gals were all attentive and nice. We also saw many delicious dishes go by! So we'll certainly go back to try more for sure!

Every time I come to Reno, I will come to this restaurant to eat yummy food. Today I ordered spicy boil two and Stir fry bitter melon and beef very yummy and worth recommending

Another Excellent meal at The Wok. Ordered in advance the "whole fish". It was amazing flavor and texture. Accented with sliced potatoes and green onions. Also I repeated from my last visit the Lamb dish. Also amazing!!! Service by Janette was 5 truly the best in the business!!! We will be back !!!

This is the best Chinese food in all of Reno. My family and I enjoy coming here whenever we are in town from California. I highly recommend this place due to friendly staff and great atmosphere.

The food was absolutely amazing, the seasoning was wonderful. Some of the dishes could've used a little bit more seasoning in my opinion. The service was incredibly fast, and everyone was very polite. I had a friend to take me here, and I will definitely be going back, it is a spot to check out in Reno! The salt pepper calamari was my favorite dish.

Spicy Boil Fish and Beef stew. Wonderful experience in spicy. The generals chicken and black pepper beef were also standouts. Attentive service. Higher entree prices but the portions are very generous.

I am from the SF Bay Area and came to Reno for work. Craving for some Cantonese Chinese food in Reno. I got to say it's really good. Definitely has that authentic Cantonese taste and wok taste. You won't be disappointed!

Where art thou can you find good eats and authentic Chinese food in quaint Reno? Literally minutes from GSR where we stayed. We enjoyed their filet tofu broth. Love the heat and numbing flavor. Felt like we were back home at Home Eats! Also ordered their shredded potatoes which was ok. Had their combo pan fried, it was good but the gravy was on the saltier side. Chicken fried rice for the kiddos. Then my niece selected the salt and pepper tofu which i highly enjoyed. Service is super. Very attentive. The cook inside came out to bring out our food. Probably the owner. I love it when they come and check on you, ask how is everything and refill your water. That's the way it should be when you eat out. Good experience, glad we yelped.

I'm Chinese. And I believe this is one of the best Chinese food in town. 这家是reno最好的川菜了

Best Chinese since moving here! Fresh, clean, authentic food. Nice service, huge portions! We ordered the dinner for 2 people, it included: soup, appetizers, lettuce wraps, combo fried rice and 1 entree per person. I got the generals chicken and DH got fish w/black bean sauce. We took home more than we could eat!

Found this place on Yelp and it didn't disappoint. The ingredients tasted fresh, service was attentive, and the establishment was clean. We will be coming back as this is one of our new favorite places to eat here in Reno. Highly recommended!

Amazing food. Possibly the best Chinese cuisine that I've had in the region. Very authentic dishes that you don't see at very many "Chinese" restaurants. My standout dishes so far are Salt & Pepper chicken wings, bbq fried rice, beef chow fun, and Mapo Tofu. The menu is sizable and includes Szechuan dishes that I've never had before (but plan to!). There are several Chongqing style dishes here that you won't see in very many places (including San Francisco). That's just the food...the service is amazing too! Attentive and pleasant service that cares about your satisfaction, which you don't see all the time anymore. Highly recommend this place, and definitely tell your friends!

I tried this place based on the reviews, and while I only got takeout, I was not disappointed. Pot Stickers were excellent, and their take on Shrimp in Lobster Sauce was different from anything I'd had or made before - no ground pork, and add mushrooms - it was terrific. No question it's out of the way - I tried it because I had occasion to visit a skilled nursing facility down the street - but it's worth the trip.
