The food here is quite good, and the place has a nice atmosphere. I really liked that they have games at the table—it makes the dining experience more fun. We ordered the half-and-half combo (cashew and hot & spicy) and the orange chicken combo. Both were above average in flavor. The standout, though, was definitely the spring rolls—crispy, flavorful, and highly recommended. Overall, a solid spot worth checking out!

Staff were very warm and welcoming. I ordered the Orange Chicken with Steamed rice and wontons, and my mom ordered the Cashew Chicken with Noodles and Crab Rangoons. Wontons were super nice and crispy and the orange chicken and rice were delicious. Would definitely come back

Cozy chinese restaurant with a relaxed vibe. Each table has a small box of table games to play with your fellow table mates. Games vary from talking games, to Sushi Go, to Tic Tac Toe. They play 80s or 90s music. The outside eating area also has a water dish for dogs and corn hole. The food itself was pretty decent. I got the orange chicken with noodles. It was very tasty though i wouldn't say it was the best I've ever tried. But it hit the spot. Service was quick and friendly. And if you have leftovers, they conveniently have the to- go boxes easily accessible for customers. If you're craving Chinese food that is fast, this is a good place to consider.

Fast service. Hot and fresh food. Delicious and crispy filled crab rangoons. Fun games to play while you visit and enjoy company of family and/or friends!

Hit this spot up the other day for lunch. Got the kimchi stew and a chicken fried rice. Kimchi stew was different..... but good. Wasn't as potent as an og kimchi jigga but special in its own way. I'd get it again. Chicken fried rice wasn't the best or worst.... right in the middle. More like in the "that will work" kind of thought process.

Met my girlfriends here for our monthly night out. To say this place is busy - is an understatement! There is a constant flow of to go orders! After trying their food - I can see why!! I had the snow pea stir fry with beef and wow was it good! Perfectly balanced sauce. Not too sweet and not drenched all over the meat and veggies. Staff was friendly and brought our orders out to the table.

VERY cute space. This place was very cozy! They have the cutest outdoor eating area! The food was very good! The only suggestion I have is that is on the fried rice veggies needed to be cooked a few minutes longer. The staff was nice, the other customers were kind, and overall a great place to dine in. Although, a bit pricey. For two people we spent $55.00

Ok food. Ok atmosphere. Nothing special, no sauce with the egg roll, why, I don’t know. Menu looks intriguing but I don’t know if I’m curious enough to come back. Too basic.

Don't make it here too much....but when we do...they're doing the Chinese food right. Szechwan....i suggest adding 2 or 3 stars....tastes really really good! Crab Rangoon....great. Plenty of dishes here are all great choices!

They don't do cash orders over the phone anymore... I've gone here for years and have always been able to pay cash when I order over the phone. I drive out of my way to come here to wait another 30mins for my food. It's good but this will be why I don't come back.

It's been a while since I ate here but the chicken was almost too crunchy. But that's my personal preference. I prefer my sweet and sour chicken breading to be softer. This was close to my old apartment so I'd go occasionally. I only ever got the ss chicken so I can't speak for anything else

OK, this is my go to standard order on Grubhub and the weird thing is I originally ordered from this place to get kimchi stew then I discovered they have kimchi rice fried rice fried rice I'm sorry that just amazes me that I like fried rice when it's done right I was just consider that a crappy side dish to my main dish I get kimchi fried rice there's 12 questions it seems like what do you want to add to this so I add pork I get it St. Louis style. I don't even know what that means. I get it with extra green onions extra white onions. I would get it with an egg but eggs have gone up from $1.50 to 4 dollars I get it well done I like the crispy bits. I don't know who the chef was today but he did an excellent job. I'm trying to decide what other kind of protein I would add instead of getting the egg now, but I ate the entire regular size order which is very large. I'm saving the kimchi stew for tomorrow when it's cold and snowy out so nobody has to deliver to me. I'm so upset. They're opening a new location further away from me. Please come to the south east side! We definitely don't need another bank on sunshine, but I think we need a Wok on sunshine location. It even sounds pleasant.

Out for a motorcycle ride, and stopped in. We have been wanting to try this place for some time. The issue with Springfield though is there is a Chinese restaurant every block, and they are all hit or miss. What attracted us to this place was the outdoor patio seating. You would think more places have outdoor seating in Springfield, but they don't. Walking in the place seemed dimly lit, and a little small. You place your order at the front; pay then they bring your order to your table. Our waitress was nice, and had good recommendations. My wife got garlic tofu, and I went with the general chicken. We decided to take advantage of the beautiful day, and sit outside. Our food arrived pretty quickly, and it was presented fabulously. It seriously looked like a picture! Everything was fresh, and you could tell; not just by seeing it, but also taste! It was seriously some of the best "American" Chinese food I have ever had! Will be back, and will tell everyone if you are on this side of town wanting Chinese come here!!

Been coming to The Wok (formerly China Wok) for close to 15yrs now. Although the name, ambiance and prices have changed, the food has continued to be the best in town. You have to get General Chicken and the Beef Lo Mien. You will not find better bang for your buck in Springfield. The only thing I will note is the newly renovated decorating is very...odd? They have replaced their more traditional decor for a country farmhouse aesthetic which is just very strange. There's also a patio now with jenga? Thankfully I just come for the food, but it's a strange direction.

This has been a regular meal stop for years. They have recently updated their decor and created a nice place to sit and enjoy one of their incredible dishes. They seemed to have cornered the carry out market as well which says a lot about the satisfaction of their food!

I eat at this restaurant absolutely EVERY WEEK, as well as my family comes to town once a month & we always eat there, at least 10 of us! NEVER AGAIN WILL I EAT HERE AFTER TODAY!!!! I am also one of Springfields full time food delivery persons. Today I went in to pick up 2 orders. I let a young man know the names & I sat down. 30 minutes later after over hearing the young man tell this women, that one of my orders were ready. So I walked up to the counter & started to inquire, so that I may go ahead & delivery the order that was ready & only going 1 mile down the road. INSTEAD, I WAS SCREAMED AT BY THIS WOMEN, she Saud that she already told me 4xs & then yelled at me for sitting at a table! ALL THIS IN FRONT OF SEVERAL CUSTOMERS & OTHER DELIVERY DRIVERS! I told her I never spoke to her before nor any one else in the past 30 minutes. She continued to yell at me! ABSOLUTELY DID NOT DESERVE NOR WARRANT THIS ATTACK FROM THIS WOMEN & I WILL NEVER EAT THERE NOR DELIVER FOR THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN!!! UNTIL THIS WOMEN IS FIRED!!!!!

Fast delivery unless they are slammed. Always hot. Excellent crab Rangoon. Chicken is always good. One complaint o wish they would put their bourbon chicken back on the menu. Their drinks are a bit small and mostly ice. It's my favorite go to. Cashew and sweet n sour also mandarin combination is my favorites. Crab Rangoon is my favorite of any I've tried in Springfield. Egg rolls are yummy too. If you don't want a whole meal stop in for the crab Rangoon. Oh and the delivery drivers are very nice .

I always get the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice, and the food always gets to my table VERY FAST. I like how the place looks a lot better than it did many years ago, it used to look like a Chinese food place you'd find in an alley way. The wok has the best Chinese food I've ever tasted in my life.

Went to the Wok on Scenic the Friday before Labor Day and have to say that IF you have NOT tried it-- YOU NEED TO GO!!!! IT IS DEFINITELY VERY AFFORDABLE ( we ordered 3 combo meals that came to $40 with tax)-- the portions are huge-- I made 3 meals out of mine and the FOOD IS AWESOME-- FANTASTIC--- FABULOUS!!!

The food is good, the rice ISN'T fried even though the menu says it is, check your takeout order before leaving because something will be missing. If you get a refund for a missing item you paid for, you have thirty days to use it! Ha! They're happy to take your money but don't like making it right.

After recently moving to the area, the search for a "go-to" Chinese restaurant was on. Several failed attempts later we found The Wok on Scenic. Outstanding food at a reasonable price! Dine in or carry out, it has always been hot, fresh and delicious. Dining room is clean with games at each table to entertain you during the short wait for your meal. Service has always been excellent as well. You will not be disappointed!

I read some of the reviews. I was surprised to see low reviews. This food is so good and fresh tasting. The counter people could improve, but usually order to-go over the phone. One of are favorite Chinese restaurants closed and this is are new go to. The food is better here, so we will become regulars.

The food here is decent. We shared a cashew chicken combo, and it was pretty good. The "fried" rice is simply white rice with soy sauce as far as I can tell. Service was quick and friendly.

Chicken egg foo yung had clearly had shrimp in it. Hot and sour soup was excellent, as was the fried rice and sweet and sour chicken, though you need to order extra vegetables and pineapple.

Some of the worst food I've had in a while. The chicken tasted like it'd been under a heat lamp for hours. Noodles were dry as well. Lesson learned.

I had the general chicken all white and my husband had the sesame chicken all white. Both meals were made to order and fresh. The sauce was thick and clung to the chicken well. The rice was good but nothing much different. The crab Rangoon was not like your normal Rangoon. They are more bunched up and like little pockets of cream cheese. They are definitely on the sweeter side. Easy to pop one into your mouth to enjoy. The egg rolls were the best I've ever had! Get the egg rolls if you get anything at all here. They are a good size and the filling is fresh and fried to golden perfection. Overall we will be back to try more!

Food: 5/5. Customer service: 1/5 I'll start off by saying that myself and my family love China Wok's food. Their chicken is high quality, they have the best crab Rangoon are the best in town, everything has always been fresh. I've never had a meal here I haven't enjoyed. Since the start of the pandemic we have made it a goal to support local businesses that we enjoy at least once a week that are close by to us because we want to see these places open after things return to normal. China wok has been a regular on that rotation, I'd estimate about once every week. I've easily spent hundreds of dollars with them since March and up until today have had nothing but positive experiences; food is labeled, their curbside system is efficient, and their food is fantastic. Today my coworkers and I placed an order for delivery. We ordered 6 entrees and a couple sides. Delivery was through Grubhub. When the food arrived, we noticed that one of the entrees was missing. We immediately called China Wok and were told that since our order was under $70 (our grubhub total was 85 but they got $63) that we would have to contact grubhub to have a new delivery driver come out. After an hour and a half on the phone with grubhub, we ended up having to spend an additional $8.50 to get the entree delivered, which originally cost 7.50. I called China Wok afterward to express our frustration at the situation and the difficulty in attempting to get the order fixed. The person on the phone apologized and went on to admit that their kitchen had forgotten to make the entree. It was extremely frustrating to find out that the issue was entirely on their end, yet we had to jump through hoops because we didn't order directly through them, even though it was their choice to use grubhub as their delivery service although they have previously delivered independently. I gave them multiple opportunities to make this right. A discount for the extra money we had to pay, or something more than a hollow apology would have kept 6 happy customers as return customers. Instead, we were shown how much they value their customers. I'm honestly sad because I love their food, their ordering is convenient, and it is close to my house. After this experience I can't give them more business as it stands. I offered multiple opportunities to make this right and we were offered nothing more than a "that sucks" for the money out of our pocket and time lost due to their error that they admitted. A business that cared about their customers and reputation would likely want to retain their return customers, but I guess that shows the character of the people working here.

No good!! Cheap, and I see why. Bland rice. No veggies in the rice at all. Plain, bland, tasteless rice. The chicken is nasty, grainy and they bury it in some of the worst cashew sauce I've ever tasted. No Good!!

I have been going here since 2011 and it was my favorite Chinese food place to eat in Springfield. So different than KC. I usually go toward the Kung Pao offerings. It was always reasonable cost wise and it was delicious. Now it is neither. The dine-in atmosphere is nicer but it was fine before. I had the regular Kung Pao combination meat with an order of fried pot stickers and a drink -- $27 includes small tip. For that price, it better be really good. Not so - the rice was underdone. Also, there were only 2 small shrimp in the order. I'm currently eating the leftovers - I don't know why. The under done rice stays in your mouth like sand. I need to find a new place. I have also been trying to get them to add twice sauteed pork for the last 12 years. It is a common menu item in KC.

Probably some of the best Chinese in the Springfield area especially for the price. Ever since 2020 when restaurants were shut down from indoor dining this place has been pickup only, they have been through a couple changes allowing you to enter the building and then not, forcing you to call in an order or order online for delivery or curbside pickup. It's still one of our go-to places because it's close and it's consistently good.

I ordered the cashew chicken and fried rice and some eggrolls. I thought it was a good value the food was very tasty the portion was large. They delivered our food out to the car. I certainly would go back here again.

The food is great and so are the people. If you see a dish you like but don't want all the ingredients that's listed, they will fix the recipe the way you want it! On my meals have been excellent I highly recommend them

You would think two people behind the counter could get your order correct. No you get home and part of your order isn't there. They were not even busy food had twang after taste chicken was not even in bite size it was like they took a chicken breast and cut it 4ths and hardly had any coating.. They need to give a knife and fork to eat the chicken and get rid of the NASTY AFTER TASTE

I love the food here, but how do you not send utensils or sauces when an order is being delivered? I don't usually have duck sauce on hand and because we just moved and we're unpacking, we had to search through boxes for something to eat with. It just doesn't make sense to not anticipate the customers needs when an order is placed.

Service was poor, but food was very good. I tried the orange chicken and would definitely take that again. Also, the general chicken had a really good and balanced sauce. The bonus to here is you the price point and the quantity.

Placed an order at 6:33 PM via telephone. Was informed to pick up in 20-25 minutes, food would be brought out to vehicle. Arrived at 7:00, and waited over 45 minutes before order came out. Mongolian beef was more like soup, the orange chicken was dry, overcooked, had a strange texture, eggroll was bland, and the fried rice was noting more than white rice with soy sauce mixed in. The orange chicken sauce also tasted "burnt". Everything was so loaded with sodium (MSG?) that we ended up drinking water all night long...which meant we didn't get a good night's sleep. This was not our first time ordering food from them, but it WILL be our last. For the roughly $50 we spent for ourselves and our guests, we could have gotten a decent meal at a different place AND had money left over.

Found a short black hair in my take-out. But it is so damn good I didn't stop eating. Gross yes. Too gross, no. Great food therefor I am viewing this as a minor slip up. What is more embarrassing? The hair or me admitting I kept eating my cashew chicken? I really like this place.

I can't get Springfield cashew chicken where I live and I crave it badly sometimes. So, when I was in SGF for a visit, I pulled into town kinda late but knew with the jam-packed weekend this would be my only chance to secure my favorite dish. China Wok is OK. I remember going there a couple of times in the past and not being wowed by it, but it did the job in a pinch. The gravy on the cashew chicken isn't my favorite, but the chicken itself was spot on. The rice was a little dry, however, the wontons were pretty decent. I wish this dish would move north so I could get it more than once every two years or so.

I like simple american Chinese and china wok is just that. My favorite dish here is the sesame chicken. The chicken is fried quite well and stays crispy for a long time. That said be prepare to wait for your order or call ahead. Without being in the kitchen I get the impression that the chicken is fried to order which accounts for the wait time. I'm ok with this. The impatient gotta have it now folks may be turned of by this. I like their version of hot and sour soup. With crunchy noodles of course. Overall portions of the soup, and main dish are ample. Most times I can get 2 meals out of a regular order. So value for dollar is high. The dining area is just some tables in a waiting area so I feel like this is a take out spot. Nice for a simple night in. They also now do delivery which I'm going to have to check out.

Many moons ago there was a tanning salon next door to China Wok on S Scenic. I worked there in high school and would get my dinner at China Wok when I was closing the store. I LOVED the food. That was 2002. Fast forward to 2018, I had spent the last SIXTEEN YEARS traveling the entire country (yes, the entire United States) for my line of work. FINALLY in 2018 I move back home and was SO HAPPY to see this China Wok still in business - and expanded!! One of the first meals I bought when moving back home was their cashew chicken and OH MY GAWD it was amazing. LITERALLY No other city in America does Chinese food like Springfield, MO- and China Wok is my favorite here. I hope you guys remain successful bc your food ROCKS!!!

With so many Chinese restaurants in Springfield it's hard to find one that is consistent and good! We found China Wok when we moved to the west side of Springfield. First they have make Egg Foo Young which is my all time favorite. It takes a while to make, but it's well worth it! The food is always good and it is our go to for Chinese!!

This is a convenient place for a quick bit of pseudo-Asian on the way from Branson to Springfield or if you are visiting Wilson's Creek nearby. Their food is pretty good, if not what I would expect. It tasted a little less Asian than I anticipated. The portions are good-sized and a very good value for the money. The service is good and quite friendly. The diet Pepsi was flat, but the staff was very apologetic and offered alternatives, and vowed they would correct the deficiency they acknowledged. Can't really ask for more than that. So the bottom line is this. If want a good meal, if not very authentic, this is a great value and recommended. If you are a discriminating Asian food fan, you might be disappointed.

China wok! It's an unexpected treasure in a strip mall on republic road in Springfield MO. You would never know that the best Chinese food in town came from this intimate little place! Thier phones are always ringing so maybe that should be a sign. I love the beef lomein! Steamed potstickers and bourbon chicken are also favorites. Try China wok! You won't be disappointed! (Happy China sucks!)

I ordered 4 orders of Wontons. It took 30 minutes. I got home and nothing was in the middle. Not one thing of pork to be found ANYWHERE! I used liked this place.but I haven't been there in awhile. It's really changed. The lady behind the counter in the evenings is super nice but that doesn't make up for the quality of the Wontons I ordered and paid for. It's very frustrating to pay for something that they had to know wasn't right. If what I ordered wasn't available it would have been nice to know. I won't be back. I am so aggravated because again, the lady behind the counter is super nice and that was a big plus for me.

Best Chinese Takeout in Southwest Springfield. Easy ordering either online, by phone, and in person. Sesame Chicken is wonderful, ask for spicy! General Chicken is good as well. Kung Pao Shrimp with extra peanuts, amazing! Let's not for get the Crab Rangoon, IMHO the best in Springfield. My family and I usually order to go at least once a week.

I eat here frequently and usually call in my order. Tonight I had a large order and DANA WEY was EXTREMELY rude and impatient to the point that we cancelled our order and went to Leong's instead where the customer service was far better! Learn how to talk to your customers Dana.
