Chinese Restaurant

This is a bad review because you used to be able to eat in the resurant, they delivered. Now no delivery an not a place to eat in ,I call B.S. They took over a great restaurant an now look what we have,can't even deliver but the menu shows they do. Sad that we lost a great place an now have this in place. The pandemic is over bring back the restaurant, an delivery!!!!

The food is excellent here. We weren't happy with the Chinese food in the Edwardsville, Glen Carbon and Maryville area. This is now the only place we go to for Chinese. Their pork fried rice is dark, flavorful and you can actually taste the pork. Everyone else in my family is happy with this place. This place is always busy when we go there. They cut the restaurant in half during the pandemic so there are only a few table for seating.

First be aware the building is old. Clean inside but old. The decor and the lighting is definitely something from long ago. When I first stepped in I almost ran but a very nice lady showed up and I stepped forward. Not surprisingly a slight language barrier in her understanding my questions. I guess I should have talked louder and asked more questions. It was lunch so I thought we’d get lunch servings and prices but having not specified she gave us dinner prices. $36 for two. That’s a lot for what one gets. I ordered beef pepper steak and it tasted ok. The sauce tasted like my gravy when I make beef and gravy. None of the spices I’d expect. Meat was tender and vegetables fresh and crisp. Egg roll smelt as if it had been fried in old oil. Didn’t see much in the way of veggies. Seemed like meat and rice with phyllo dough. Thin layers of dough fried very crisp. My husband had teriyaki chicken no veggies. Good serving. He liked it. He also had wonton soup that he said wasn’t bad. The fried rice was awful. Dried out almost to point of hard. Stale bland flavor. Nothing helped it. Packets of sauce and soy in a bottle that was crusty on top. No soda refills. Fought two persistent flies. I’ve driven by this place for years and hoped I’d find a new favorite for Mondays but it’s not to be. Exceptionally kind lady and sorry to say it’s a one and done

Excellent food never fails to make my day better, the fried rice is the best I've had in years; everything is always hot and fresh, a perfect treat! EDIT: 7/29/2024 Chop Chae (sweet potato starch noodles) with carrots, beef, onion, green onion, so comforting and well made

This is by far one of the BEST Chinese Restaurants! The ingredients are fresh, the portions are good, and the price is good. The staff is extremely friendly. I live local but travel the country each week. I been to Chinese Restaurants all over the US. This place is special and the staff puts their all into it. I have never had a bad meal or bad experience here. This place is clean and neat too. I highly recommend this spot and supporting local.

I so wanted to enjoy my meal here. So disappointing. So to start off, as I'm waiting, one of the cooks comes out of the bathroom as the toilet is flushing. Come on man, you gotta wash your hands. He didn't even mime a wet hand motion. I should have left then and there, but oh well. The lunch special Sesame Chicken and side of lo mein were terrible. I get it, it's American Chinese food but this was a terrible representation of even that. Hard and flavorless rice, bland and cold chicken, the lo mein noodles tasted vaguely of soy sauce...and that's it. For this I was charged almost $20. I can only assume the other raving reviews are from people who have never eaten Chinese food elsewhere. But it was so disappointing and I will definitely never go back. ***I cannot emphasize just how bad this Lo Mein was. It made me stop my meal and immediately write a review, something I don't do***

I was in the mood for Chinese and this is the only option in town. The inside of the restaurant could use a good scrub down cleaning. The food good. I ordered the general chicken. The sauce was really thick and more sugary than I was expecting. The restaurant gave us a free version of chips and dip. The steamed white rice was amazingly delicious. The food prep time was average. I will eat here again.

My husband and I came in for dinner yesterday. We enjoyed our food very much. We use to eat there when we lived in Highland years ago and it was very good then. The service was great. Our server was so very nice and friendly. Very welcoming. We enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely come back. It was worth the drive.

Absolutely fantastic experience! Not far from the exit, clean & pristine, welcoming staff members eager to please, freshly prepared food refilled consistently, & of course the food was simply delicious. We HIGHLY recommend the Black Pepper Chicken, Fried Zucchini, & Pumpkin Crumble Crunch! 🙌 If you're looking for an affordable, large buffet off the 44 corridor, this is your next spot!! (Wait staff was even kind enough to bring out freshly chopped green onions for my fried rice upon request 💕 We will return!)

The staff are fantastic and the prices very reasonable. The cheesecake is quite good as are some of the foods. Overall a little underwhelmed with the flavor of the majority of the foods. Under seasoned. I do understand that they must serve the tastes of the majority of their customers though, so I will return for the great staff and pricing.

First Wok is my go-to Chinese food restaurant in town. We are so happy that they have moved back to Farmington! The food is always delicious, the service is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. I've tried a variety of dishes from the menu, and I've never been disappointed. My favorite is the Orange Chicken Dinner Combo. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the portions are generous. We always share 1 entree and pictured is just my half. The service at First Wok is also top-notch. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they always go out of their way to make sure that I have a good experience. Overall, I highly recommend First Wok to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Chinese dining experience.

A genuinely satisfying Chinese food experience! Decided to try delivery for my first experience at First Wok. I used their online menu and paid online. After going through their extensive menu, I picked some favorites: chicken lo mein and crab rangoons. Delivery was exceptionally quick and the food hit the spot!

The Bourbon Chicken is Amazing at this local Chinese restaurant. We eat here often as it’s a closer option than their counterpart. Food is always good and fresh and portions are filling as well. The have a good little sit in area as well or drive up if you need a to go option.

Looking for the Crab Rangoon I had when I was little in park hills, MO. This was good, but not what I remember from the early 90s. Ordered beef w/peppers and onions, and steamed rice. It was hot, it was good. I can't think of anything bad about it, I was startled when a white dude opened the window, but it's okay because I'm also a white dude, I was just expecting... Something else...

The highest quality Chinese food for 100+ miles. Ive came here my whole life & the food has just gotten better. I much prefer this establishment over the farmington location as the staff is exceptional & their cooking is better. I adore this location & i grew up going here. I cant express just how good their food is. I highly recommend the chicken fried rice with specifically their packets of sweet & sour sauce. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

Let me start by saying, customer service 10 out of 10. I ordered online, which was extremely easy. They have so many options and ways to customize. Quality was awesome for the entrees. The only thing I wish was better was the crab Rangoon. It's all cream cheese, no crab. It's also not a sweet crab rangoon, if that was what you were looking for. Portions were great both for lunch and dinner. Speed was amazing. I highly recommend if you are looking for some pretty decent Chinese in the area. In pictures, I ordered pork fried rice, moo goo gai pan, general tso, and chicken with snow peas.

Food variety was good. Cleanliness was questionable though things seem neat.

First time here and very impressed! Excellent food and very fresh and clean! This by far is the Best Chinese Buffet we have been to! I wish we lived close. We are from MN and we have nothing to compare!💕

Clean, friendly, and great service. The food is so wonderfully delicious. I have enjoyed assisting food at many places around this country from the east coast to the east coast. I would put this location near the top of my favorite places to eat

We ordered a couple various rolls of sushi, crab rangoons as an appetizer, and beef lo mien and OMG!!! Soooo good. Every time we come the food and service is amazing!! And you can’t beat the prices for the fresh homemade-tasting food! Me and my family highly recommend this place! Pictured is the “after” of our meal… as you can tell we enjoyed it very much!

This place was so great I had to write a review for them! My meal was $10 but I added on an order of pot stickers or gyoza as we call them which were $6. They were fabulous!!! My chicken and broccoli meal was so good too….white chicken breast meat! That was a big selling factor as I don’t like fatty or dark meat. The egg roll that came with my combo didn’t disappoint either. I would 100% recommend this place and will definitely be back to try more menu items. The couple seemed very sweet too…and would doesn’t love supporting a family run restaurant?!! *I forgot to take a picture until I was packaging up my leftovers.☺️

Oriental Wok is a hidden gym in a strip mall. I’ve passed it often but it has such a generic presence I’ve never gone in. Today I was dropping packages at UPS and decided to stop in at Orient Wok. First impression walking in was very clean, quiet and organized. There is no table service or fountain soda. The menu is posted outside and inside. Most all meats could come as a combination with choices of fried rice, egg roll, soups, and some other things. A very kind older lady took our order. I had beef pepper steak, fried rice and egg roll. My husband had sweet and sour chicken with no veggies and egg roll. It was ready in 10 minutes and we added two cans of Pepsi products to give with it. The beef was so tender!! Vegetables were crisp. Flavor was excellent. Fried rice didn’t have vegetables but tasted great. The egg roll was fried to perfection my husband put sweet and sour (packets) on his and I used soy. The chicken had large pieces of white meat. He said it was excellent better than he’s ever had before. He fell in love with this quiet unassuming place. Chairs are not the greatest for old, large people. Owner guided us to a different one. Bill was great. 23 total for two people. Are tops required. Not sure. You order at counter, pick up food, and bus your table. However my husband likes the place so much he gave a 25% top to send the message that it was all great.

I’m an Agebt across the street at Coldwell and China King is a staple for our quick lunches. They are so friendly and a wonderful family owned business that is a staple here in Troy! Attached is a photo of my favorite pick!

I've been ordering food from here for years. Even though there's a revolving door of staff, the building itself looks like it's falling apart and I'd heard rumors about roaches. I still stuck by them bc we always enjoyed our food. But the last several times I've ordered, it's been borderline gross. Food burnt or undercooked. The same meal never tastes the same twice. This time? Found a literal dead roach in my food. It was like pulling teeth to get a refund and they only refunded the meal with the bug after I brought it up to show them. Unfortunately, this is the end for us and China King.
