Customer Reviews
Best Real Chinese Food in the area. Traditional (not american) chinese food will not please everyone. There are plenty of sugary/greasy chinese restaurant to satisfy the regular crowd. Hot Wok Cafe is an island of traditional food in New Jersey - Keep the good work - By the way I appreciate that they did not pay a company to erase the less than 5 stars review - So many review board are cleaned up by marketing oufits
Amazing food! They take great care to make Buddhist style food for us. In separate pans! The owners pay particular attention to all the guests! Been going there for 20 + years!
First of all, DO NOT order through the online service (Chowbus). We did and paid for it online. When my husband got there, the restaurant informed him that they have not done business with Chowbus for three months. My husband had to reorder the food and pay again! Why does their website allow for online ordering through this (bogus) company! They should be responsible for their website! Meanwhile, the food was mediocre at best. Chicken and Broccoli. This is not the Hot Wok I remember!
We ate dinner here and the food is great! We ordered the dan dan noodles, Szechuan style Chinese vermicelli, shredded pork and snow cabbage noodle soup, old Beijing style noodles, dried squid fried rice, shrimp and chives pancakes, and New Year’s dinner casserole. The portions were large, and everything we ordered was excellent! Our favorite was the shredded pork and snow cabbage noodle soup. The food arrived super quickly, and the server was very attentive. We will definitely be back!
My favorite Taiwanese food restaurant! I have known the owner since I'm resided in Hamilton NJ from 2005! Whenever I wanted a good Chinese stir fried, I always thought of Hot Wok! The favorite, Dried beancurb with shredded pork and Soft Shell Crab, 👍 have never been disappointed at all after all these years!
