This is a beloved locals’ spot! I thought this was just a typical Chinese chain restaurant, but it is not! The ingredients are fresh and a lot of healthy dishes here especially the soup and salads! Reminds me of Hosum Bistro in Newport Beach, CA. Always a good casual go to! Also great daily happy hour, 3-6p!

City Wok is the best fresh Chinese restaurant in the valley. Everything was freshly prepared, served quickly and was so, so good. If you like spicy try the hot and sour soup. My favorite is the Won Ton soup. Also love the Chinese Chicken Salad, any of the chicken recipes and the Pepper Beef is almost illegal it's so good. Great staff, very convenient location and prices are in line with most of the places here in the valley. A guy named Stuart owns the restaurant and is frequently there. Take the time to say hi, he's very friendly and always, and do mean always love to hear from their diners.
The food was good but, not great. The place was very clean. The help was friendly and nice. The extremely loud noise coming from the the kitchen dishwashing was very distracting. They charge $8.00 if you want fried rice 🍚 instead of white rice. They charge $2.00 for having the healthier brown rice. They don't offer lo mein as a substitute. The appetizer are quite pricey unless you get the happy hour ⏳ specials which are a better value. The average entrees $17 - $22+ parking 🅿️ is a nightmare when the mall is busy. It's a decent restaurant 🍴.

First visit and we were impressed! Full bar, full-service dining, and a carryout counter in one. We ordered cups of the won ton and hot & sour soups, and the servings were large. They would have been enough as a meal on their own, but we managed to move on to our entrees sesame beef and City Wok chicken. Again, the half order was a generous size and plenty of food. Server was friendly, attentive, and efficient, and they pack your leftovers for you. There are several items I look forward to trying on future visits. Thank you to everyone working there.

Good city food and well-sized portions. I'd recommend the spicy chili string beans, chicken dumplings, and Singapore rice noodles.
If their masonry's as good as their cooking, 5/5 would hire City Wok to build a City Wall to keep out invading Mongolians.

I haven’t eaten at City Wok in over 20 years. The last time I ate there the food was fast-food quality at best. They have since upped their game to a true dine-in, high quality dining experience. The food was fantastic, very authentic, and the service was impeccable! The ambiance was refined, quiet, and intimate. The proximity to the shops is also very convenient for a day out.

Had take out, which granted isn’t always the best representation of a restaurant but 3 day old rice and my beef chow mein order which came with chicken and week old dried out noodles is pretty pathetic. If I could give 0 stars I would. This “food” was inedible. Going to in-n-out now
