“They used to be New Wok on Peck Rd next to the dealership in the shopping center! They are the best Wok in El Monte! I almost cried after eating their food. We tried other Woks from 5 different cities, NONE of them compare! Have been a customer since I was a kid! So happy they are reopen! It’s our first visit to their new location.

Their rice in this visit was a bit too salty and taste slightly different too. But, their signature chow mein is SO good! No other place compares! Their egg roles are also delicious too! Their food quantity is just as big too! You really get your bang for your buck:

2 combo is like $10-$11 and the 3 combo is $12.49ish.

They used to have vegetarian/pescatarian options, but not anymore. I hope they have more veggie and seafood options!“

“I've been eating there & Take out about 25years. Never had any issues , with the owner or staff. Sometimes a bit hard to understand. Not a problem. Prices are right the food is great. If your hungry & in El Monte & in the mood for Chinese. You can't miss. Really.“

“Make sure you bring cash, trust me its worth the hassle. I'm an uber driver and I love trying Chinese take out places all over Southern CA, and this is the best by a lot, and for many reasons. Sadly I live in the oc, but I'll be praying my work brings me this way as often as possible! They have my favorite dish, eggplant and they make it very well. Now I want to try their other items too. 5 stars.“

“The most authentic Nanjing Salty Duck, I have bought from this restaurant for years! The old owner was from Nanjing and the recipe was from the most famous duck restaurant in that region, but sadly after Covid they only provided take out service, it still the same quality even after the new owner took over the store!
Their duck were purchased from different state, less fat and more tender meet, and the cutting skill kept the way it should be, each piece is thinner and neat!

Parking: Always has plenty of space“

“I was in the area with my friend & we were looking for a noodle soup spot. This had some great reviews and the pictures looked good.I ordered the mayonnaise shrimp, bbq pork noodle soup, wonton soup and others. The mayo shrimp was excellent and reminds me of walnut shrimp at other locations. The bbq pork of the noodle soup was delicious and the broth was on point.I would definitely come back and try their other menu items. Parking was descent and a great spot to get some noodle soup.“

“My son and I were sick with headcolds. I was told that the Wonton chicken soup here was miraculous! We went there and got some. It is the best Wonton soup ever. We are feeling much, much better because of that Heavenly soup! Thank you to the kind people who work there. Many blessings to you all, love Dorothy ❤️“

“This is a great place to pick up quality moon cakes at a good price. They taste great vs many other overpriced locations. All their moon cake flavors are excellent. Great presentation and professional business. It’s at the corner of the Thai food place shared with the small market. Makes great gifts for the seasonal moon cake festivals! Do waste time on other places. Trust!!!“

“Since our favorite spot closed down, we needed a new place for Chinese food. Rice wok has really good food for a fair price. Very common options plus more. The service could be better as they skimp on the sauces. The restaurant is a bit cluttered and could be cleaner.“

“Their spicy fried shrimps are extremely addicting!!!“

“South El Monte is full of Asian foods and this place is where people come for Taiwanese items and boba. There are about 10+ other options for boba stores in South El Monte though this spot is one of the best for prices. It is affordable and give good deals, better than boba stores in cities like Monterey Park and Arcadia so people always come by and shop here.“

“The place was empty, it is a small location but the food was delicious. The serving was great for the price. They have good selections of food. There is a 3% percent charge if you pay with a card so do keep that in mind if you go. There is plenty of parking so I recommend this place if you are near and craving Chinese food.“

“AMAZING SELECTION GREAT PRICE. First time seeing pork feet ? ? ? also had pork ribs and fried shrimp and mussels. All the favs in one spot for $20+ish is totally worth it. The hot sauce was unique too. Generic desserts typical of Chinese buffets but can't complain when it's the same price other similar restaurants.“
