Quik Wok — Restaurant in Oceanside

After yesterday's acid indigestion inducing pizza, possibly the worst pizza in a long time, at Fratelli's, and hungry again at 3 PM or so, we headed to Quik Wok at 2184 Vista Way, Oceanside CA 92054, for a quick and hopefully better food. Place looked somewhat empty, with only one table occupied. Cook/Chef? looked Chinese, a very tall one at that. Person taking our order looked like the owner, and we ordered: Large Wonton Soup, $8.29. Broth see through clear, with more flavor than expected, with a fair share of cabbage, and veggies. 4 small/medium shrimp (one for each in the group). Chicken more abundant, nicely presented. Overall very pleased with it. 4 Stars. Egg Rolls Chicken, $5.49 for 4. Average, hot and lightly crispy. This is one of those creations specifically meant to make them money, for it barely has any filling and the outer layer almost like filo thin. Asked for it twice. 3.5 Stars. Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings, (6), $6.99. After eating the first, asked for it again. Decently fried, 3 of the six significantly bigger, 3 tiny wings. On both orders. Probably overkill to order it twice, but tasty, never the less. 4 Stars. Pot Stickers, (8), $5.49. Made with chicken, no different than any other potsticker. Definitely overkill, as everyone was more than full at this stage. 3.5 Stars. Water with lemon peels very good, and free. 4 Stars. Service prompt. Total very close to $50. Decent enough, but perhaps just one of each if there is a next...

We had just checked into our hotel and my family was craving fast Chinese, but Panda Express was closed so we found this place. We ordered there for take out and were surprised how quickly they had it ready, 5 minutes, and it was cooked to order, not sitting in a warming pan under heat lights. We loved the sweet and sour chicken and the house fried rice. The chicken chow mein was more authentic than Panda, more veggies, but the kids didn't like it as well because they were expecting it to be different. The Buddha vegetables weren't as crispy as we'd like, but it was a good variety and the sauce was good. The chicken with green beans was pretty typical for fast chinese. The man taking our order was really nice and helpful. This place has no atmosphere, but if you are just looking for a good meal for take out or to sit down for a quick bite, this place is perfect. They also packaged up our food really carefully, putting all the containers with wet items in plastic bags to avoid messy leakage. We were also surprised to find two boxes of white rice we didn't know we were getting, and a good size bag of...

I was very excited to try this place because I was starving after a long drive and the menu looked like it had good stuff. I ordered the chicken chow mein with fried rice. The fried rice was Okay, just didn't have a lot of flavor. The chow mein though was probably the worst I've ever had. It smelled like dirty diapers and was EXTREMELY off-putting. I thought it might have just been where we were sitting but when they brought my plate I realized what it was. I take care of a kid and I'm not exaggerating that it smelled horrible. I could not finish it because the smell combined with the taste made me sick. I felt bad wasting so much food so I took it back to the hotel and put it in the fridge for later. When I went to try to eat it again it was the same thing. My boyfriend tried to eat some and ended up getting sick too. I don't usually dislike places but it was actually the worst Chinese food I've eaten and I would not go back. My boyfriends food (the garlic tofu) was not bad but he said it was...
