Great Wok — Restaurant in Dundee Township

I have now visited Great Wok on 3 separate occasions, and I have been more and more impressed on each visit. In summary, you cannot go wrong grabbing a meal at this restaurant!

On my first visit, I had the Sweet & Sour Chicken; the chicken was small/popcorn-style bites, and the sauce was given in a container on the side. On my second visit, I had the Almond Chicken; the chicken this time was the classic cut fillet style, and the sauce was given in a container on the side. On my third (most recent) visit, I had the Orange Chicken; the chicken here is larger chunks, and the sauce is mixed in as part of cooking. I enjoyed all three, but so far the Orange Chicken is the winner for me (the sauce is amazing, and it's nice to be able to just start eating without having to pour/dip sauce).

They have a very large menu, with what I find to be quite fair prices in 2024. I recommend the "Special Combination" for the best deal; where they also let you pick between egg roll, drink, etc. as your complementary side. The portions on these are very large, so it's safe to come hungry. They have lunch-size/discounted versions of all the dinner-size/full combinations; you probably get about 25%-30% less food, but the price is equally reduced, so it makes sense if you go during lunch hours, and don't want to eat too much or deal with leftovers.

The service has been very good. On each visit, I have ordered at the counter (versus phoning it in). It's still super fast to get your food. I've only waited about 4-7 minutes each time. If you're ordering some $50+ order, I would say you should phone it in, but otherwise you don't really need to worry.

They seem to pack everything very securely. The containers are Styrofoam, so they will keep your food hot for a good amount of time. They throw in soy sauce, plum sauce, hot mustard, and at least one fortune cookie with each order.

Many other reviews have mentioned the permanent removal of the dine-in option. I think it would be nice to have it back, but I can understand why they might not want it (they really only have like 6 tables in there, so it wouldn't be recommendable for large groups or slow eaters anyway). While they do not have indoor dining, you are in luck, because right outside, another restaurant has outdoor/non-covered tables, and a little further out, you could even sit by the large pond and look out to Cabelas and a park. So it is somewhat traveler-friendly as well; you're not necessarily forced to eat in your car or drive home first. Of course, the outdoor seating won't do you much good in a Michigan winter, but for at least 6 months of the year, if it's not raining, you can embrace the option. There are no convenient garbage cans, but there is an open dumpster right across from the tables, and you could always take your trash with you to one of the many nearby gas stations or otherwise.

The only other thing I'm thinking could be improved is they have the old-style credit card processing. By that I mean: it takes a long moment to read, you have to sign a paper slip, and the receipt you get doesn't have an itemization (just the total). It would be great to someday see a modern pay system with mobile/NFC payment capability. As for online ordering, that would be nice, but I know they are complicated systems that the providers can charge hefty fees to license, so I don't think they will ever have this, and that's probably the smart choice unless things keep evolving a lot.

All in all, I think Great Wok is a shining example of what a local restaurant should be, and my only regret (not their fault) is I didn't discover it until 2024. If you're around Dundee, and want some great takeout food, I don't know of any alternative that...

I was blown away! The staff is super friendly and welcoming! We ordered crab rangoon and fried dumplings for an appetizer and my daughter and I loved them! The hot and sour soup was absolutely delicious! Great flavor! The staff is very attentive and extremely enjoy what they're doing. The food portions are huge. I ordered orange chicken and I was already full, but it was so good I couldn't stop eating it. The breading on the chicken was divine! I added onion to mine and it was the perfect combo. The waitress packed my left overs up to ho and it was basically a to go order in that she added extra rice and provided extra sweet and sour sauce for my egg roll. I will definitely be returning many more times to try different dishes! So excited to have good Chinese food in town! I highly recommend...

As all of the other reviews state, this restaurant is exceptional in every regard. The food is outstanding, fresh/piping hot, and the portions are huge! The staff is sooo incredibly kind and accommodating. They are take out only and when I told them I was just in from out of town for vehicle service at a nearby dealer, they knew that meant I’d be eating in my car and offered to make sure the chicken was cut into portions that I could more easily eat in the car. We made wonderful conversation while I waited for my order which didn’t take long at all. The thoughtfulness and kind heart of Joann that works there, paired with the amazing food will make me come back every time I’m back in the area! Do not miss out on going to this amazing restaurant!! 10/10 food...
