China Wok — Restaurant in Greenville

What a good surprise! I was expecting a fairly standard, hole-in-the-wall Chinese meal, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the food.

As it’s Christmas Day, very few places were open so I joined the tradition of ordering Chinese takeout. China Wok had good reviews and was less than a mile from my hotel. I ordered the Hot and Sour Soup and the General Tso’s Chicken meal, which included fried rice and egg roll. The total was a decent $17, but there was a lot of food. A very generic order for someone just looking for familiar, standard Chinese fare.

The soup could have been more on the sour side, but it was flavorful, rich and full of ingredients. The best part was actually the freshly fried and crunchy wontons that added texture and contrast to the soup. The vast majority of places give you stale, old and far-from-crunchy wontons, but not here. The wontons were light and very crunchy, again not the ordinary stuff.

Next the eggroll was another pleasant surprise! It tasted freshly made and full of the filling. Often, there’s so little filling all you get is a fried, greasy wrapper. The eggroll at China Wok was very flavorful, fried just right and not oily at all.

Finally, the entree was very good. The fried rice could have been better and hotter. It was clearly a batch that was set aside and barely reheated. But the chicken itself was quite good. The General Tso’s chicken still had a crunchy outside despite having a good amount of sauce. The sauce was about little too sweet and not as spicy as it should be, but it is definitely an above average quality.

The atmosphere and appearance was fairly standard for a Chinese restaurant. But the service was great. The person taking orders was clear and efficient and the staff, whom you can observe from the main room, were working extremely hard to prep and cook and push out orders as quickly as possible.

I would recommend China Wok. I plan to stop by again the next time I’m...

This place has decent tasting food but my problem is with the Seafood delight a female thought that extra shrimps would make up the different fir the scallops. Now any true seafood carnivore could never accept a shrimp to replace a scrumptious scallops and then was not willing to decrease the price for the exchange No, No way. So I finally settled for the happy family which also did not have scallops but shrimps to replace the lost. However, I am not a spy sauce person these days due to 1500 mg of sodium in one teaspoons. The other problem is I asked the server to separate my plate from the two others plates ordered, when I went to look the same female told me she had done as asked and I did not need to check it. Well this store is located in Winterville and I was headed to Farmville after I dropped off the other two plates or orders, just when I was in the yard I recieved a call from the person with the two plates I had their Sesame Chicken and they had my Happy family ui am very disappointed at this time. First my place was 13 plus dollars without the scallops and other two plates of sesame chicken, one 2 liters soda and a lemonade cost me over 30 dollars. Additionally I traveled over 23 miles not including having to drive 24 miles just to turn around to take a plate back to the requested person that ordered in the first place. I said all this to say unless I am in the area I will not be traveling to place any orders from this place basically on my first time experience all around my time, money and gas when I redressed everything more than three times and this female got it wrong at my expense, time and money. Please get your business together because the first impressions is a...

China Wok on Langston Road in Winterville, NC, was a culinary surprise in many ways, though not all of them were pleasant. I ventured in, craving a comforting plate of Chinese cuisine, only to find prices slightly higher than the average for takeout. I ordered a modest serving of wings—just four pieces for a surprising $8. Although the wings were crispy and well-seasoned, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was a tad steep for the quantity provided.

On a more positive note, the beef lo mein was quite enjoyable; the noodles were cooked to perfection, and the beef was tender and flavorful, complementing the dish beautifully. However, what really caught me off guard was the service. Despite the restaurant not being overly busy, my order took an unexpectedly long time to arrive. As I waited, my anticipation began to wane, overshadowed by the clock ticking away.

In retrospect, China Wok offers a mix of quality dishes and somewhat inflated prices, paired with a service time that could use some fine-tuning. While I left satisfied with my meal, I couldn't help but hope for a quicker turnaround on my next visit. Overall, it was a surprising experience, leaving me both satisfied...
