“This spot has always been my go to Chinese food place. I still drive 30 min to get there food , the chow mein is really good and there orange chicken. They have decent prices for 2 plates it'll be around $22. Plenty of sides to choose from and their fridges have many options of drinks. But don't forget to ask for chili because they won't include it.“

“Food was 5-star. No question. This place gets it right, and has filled the void left by the now-gone New Moon. (I actually liked the food here better!) But... I was shocked to see they'd been open close to a year. We were there recently (on a busy Saturday evening) and felt like they were still working out the operational kinks -- the waiter told me he couldn't bring all five of our party ice water (in addition to our soft drinks)( because they didn't have enough cups. We had to triage who "wanted water the most" in our group. This was not my favorite. Also - the food came out without any rhyme or reason to the order or timing. We were eating family style so made it work. But, if we hadn't been, it would've been a mess. And one of the dishes we ordered never came out (which they happily removed from the bill when we made them aware). I very very much hope the operation can hold up to the demand for the D&D's great food. I'm also eager to go again to see if we just caught them on a rough night -- perhaps they were understaffed in the kitchen. HIGHLY recommend the food. The overall experience next time will determine whether this is a place to dine-in again, or maybe just a good takeout spot in the future for us.“
“Considering it was a Saturday night, we were seated pretty quickly, and the food was actually really really good. It's becoming harder and harder to find good Chinese food in the San Fernando Valley but I did like this place. The whole family really enjoyed the meal the price was reasonable plenty of parking as it's in the mall.“
“AMAZING!!! This place is genius and delicious. I wish it were located closer to home, but well worth the drive. Prices are great, food is incredible, and to top it off...VEGETARIAN!!!! I'm far from vegan and love Chinese cuisine, so this place giving me the great taste without the negativity of eating a lot of meat...perfection!“
“We have just discovered this place, it is really appreciable that it is halal and offers great flavors from Chinese and Thai cuisines. Especially try the Mongolian, Chow Mein, and Tom Yum Soup. The staff is friendly and the service is very fast“
“Finally found a great Chinese place in the valley. It is a pretty bug restaurant and the food is good. They make all their good fresh and healthy. They don't use salt OR MSG which is really good. I ordered the lunch special beef with bell pepper and it was so good.“
“I recently dined here and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, Tony went above and beyond to ensure my experience was exceptional. Not only was the food delicious, but Tony's friendly demeanor and attentiveness truly made the evening special. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for amazing Chinese cuisine and outstanding service, especially thanks to Tony's warm hospitality!“
“We have been going to this place since my daughter is 10yrs old. New owner upgrades the place looks so amazing, very clean and bright. The staff are very friendly, fast service and accurate taking orders. Food so delicious everything is fresh. Price very reasonable or I should say affordable. When we are lazy to prepare our dinner, just go straight to Bale Valley. I highly recommend Bale Valley to you all, those who been to this place 100% agreed with me.“
“The server Alondra is so warm, welcoming, and attentive from the moment you arrive until you leave. She is the epitome of genuine and kind customer service and a true asset to the team at One Bite Dumpling. She truly knows how to elevate an experience! 1000/10 ✨“
“By far the best Chinese food that I have ever had. You know it’s good when you see how many Asians eat there. Portions are smaller. Prices are higher. But they good news is they finally they take credit cards!Dietary restrictions: Can be a little high in sodium. So ask for no MSG if it bothers you. Or just drink lots of water. ?“
“Food was great. Orange chicken and grilled bok choy was tasty. Large portions.Not sure what they are going for as fast atmosphere, kinda like a military chow hall. Metal cups? Odd.Had to ask for some items twice. Will return for those big portions, will have lunch for the next day.“
“This was my first order from here. I could just tell that they do care about their customers. I love Pad Thai I know it's like the most basic thing but not everyplace can hit it. Everytime I order through Postmates or door dash from different places that would be only 15 mins away, The Pad Thai would just get so dry and got no flavor when it gets to me eventho there would be a request saying "please make it extra saucy" no one seemed to ever listen. But Delish Thai Kitchen CAME THROUGH with the extra saucy and so much flavor. And they even left me a note I really do appreciate that you did that. Thank you Gonna be my favorite place to order from now.“
“I'm giving this a 4 because it's good for Chinese fast food, probably more of a 3.5 but we can't do that, the food quality is not the best but the taste is good with everything being moist and juicy, I live off of Sepulveda and Devonshire so it wasn't something I will not be going to much because of distance but had to try it and was pleased with it.“
“This is one of the best restaurants we know of. Not only is the food fantastic, but the owners and staff are amazing people. They are very kind and considerate, and very willing to accommodate large groups, or an occasional special request, etc. We've had several larger groups events catered by them as well and they are terrific to work with about these. And let me mention again how good the food is! They have a big menu and we've never had a dish that didn't look and taste great. It's not just Chinese food but they have some other Asian dishes as well.“
“First time here and I have to say I didn't experience any bad customer service. Everyone was very nice and attentive. My friend ordered a refill on hot tea and we were so deep in conversation we didn't notice the server had already stealthily set it down on the table. The location is what it is but don't get it twisted this is no hole in the wall, it's a small restaurant with limited seating but your food is fresh, and HOT. Can't wait to go back. I got to read some reviews after and I can see if it's busy and they're short a person that service may not be top notch. I always go into a new dining experience with the approach that I'm going to rate it 5 stars unless they give me a reason not to. I hope my fellow yelpers are civilized enough to voice their concerns directly to the staff as they seem like the type of people who will make a wrong right.“
“The lunch special was great, I got the shrimp and lobster sauceThe interior was clean, nice decorations , and they still have holiday decorations up! Great ones!My server was Jeff and he was so polite, checked in on me regularly, and gave me some great recommendationsI’ll be coming back for dinner as well“
“Such great Chinese food! I'm glad they're open on Tuesdays now. I usually get pick up for Chicken Fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, or Shanghai noodles. The food is always perfect and delicious. Today though... I ordered SnS Chicken and when I went to pick it up they had told me they are no longer mixing the sauce in because it gets soggy. I love it soggy!! And it's not even soggy. Just a perfect sauce mix ratio. So who ever complained about it being soggy... you just ruined it!!! I'll order it next time and ask that the sauce is mixed in.“
“Ordered for delivery directly through the restaurant and they deliver it themselves like the old days very cool. Delicious food. Classic chinese food at fair prices. Just got the standards to get an idea but so far the family approves. Kids DEVOURED combination chow mein, they're hard to please. Other dishes orange chicken, black pepper beef, and egg rolls. Everything was tasty, not overly greasy, hot and fresh on arrival. Beef was very tender and chicken pieces were a little on the small side but actually white meat and NO gristle at all. Decent amount of shrimp in the combination chow mein, overall meat level was above average. Showed up slightly earlier than promised, friendly driver, can't wait to try other dishes.“
“I thought I placed an order online. After 1/2 hour, I went to pick it up at about 6 pm. They did not have it. (My fault) However, they promptly got my 2 items ready and even offered me a snack. Great service, kindness, and especially food. The shrimp with lobster sauce was actually very tasty, and I had no urge to add my own garlic and other spices to it.“
“Food came quick me and my sister ate here the other day .. funny server lol made a racist joke but aside from that . We asked him what should we order cause I haven’t ate there in 8 years or so . Good noodles and some crunchy shrimp BIG PORTIONS …“
“Wow, when I get a craving for sushi ? it's nice to know that Le Sushi is there. The Chinese dishes are great and the sushi is very good. Best kosher sushi in Los Angeles.Dietary restrictions: Kosher restaurant with a reliable certification.Wheelchair accessibility: On the first floor with no steps to enter.“
“One of my favorite places for Chinese food. We always order from here on DoorDash and the food is BANGIN'!!! Gigantic portions and great prices. The restaurant doesn't have that much indoor seating but it was enough for us and did not disappoint. Great customer service, polite and fast!“
“My family comes here almost - every month, and we love their food. The workers know us for years and is very nice, watched us grown up. Really good food, and overall nice place.Vegetarian options: It is labeled vegan.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, and easy parking.“
“Went there for the first time for lunch the other day. It was good food but not life changing. Their menu does look interesting they have some health options. We will be back to try more items in the menu. The service was a little slow for the amount of people there. But we agreed to give it a second chance.“
“The food here is very affordable! The service is amazing as well. I called for pickup and I was stuck on what to order so I asked for a recommendation. She told me everything! This is the first and only time that when I called for a pickup that I chatted with the staff for a couple minutes. We were just laughing and talking, super sweet! I ordered the Pad Thai which was decent & my partner got the Drunken noodles! Both were very decent and I'll definitely come back again.“
“It's a place you drive by and not even notice. But it's definitely a place you should stop at. The food, price and portions are great! I had sweet and sour chicken, rice, noodles, and orange chicken. It was so good and made probably 3 meals for me. Will be coming back. Thank you!“
“The food and service is always fantastic here. This is my go to place. My wife and I come here at least twice a week. Occasionally we venture out looking for other Chinese Resturants that might be better, but no other place compares to this resturant. We always end up returning here. Stop by and check it out. Say hi to the owner, Vincent, or his assistant, Don. They are both super nice people. You won’t be disappointed.“
“I hope we have well passed the times when people wince when I mention a restaurant in a shopping center/ strip mall.When you decide to go to Hot Wok the first thing I want you to know is that all the staff is super friendly. Everyone will talk to you and make you feel truly welcome.As for the food, my wife and I started off with gyoza. It was perfectly fried as they had a nice crunch. My wife had the egg drop soup and I had the hot and sour. Both soups had great flavor but I preferred the hot soup.As for our meals my wife went with the cashew chicken lunch special. This dish had a truly great flavor. The contrasting textures added a great dimension.I went with the fried pork chop in Peking sauce. I am truly a fan of pork chops, especially fried. They were perfectly fried, they were tender and with the sauce a little messy but we’ll work it.I can’t wait until my wife and I can go back to try something else.“
“Went in for an early dinner on a Saturday. Had the daily special of Chicken green curry, salad, egg roll, and white rice. Great flavour! Not so much food that I felt bloated afterwards. Service was prompt and friendly. And the price was great, too! ($14.50) I’ll be back the next time I’m in Van Nuys.“
“Love this place for lunch at least 3 times a week. Service is always quick and friendly. Mostly order the Hot & Spicy Chicken (from the lunch menu) and with the rice, salad, and wontons, I never leave there hungry. This is my favorite restaurant in all of Stevenson Ranch. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed ?“
“Their black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon) is my family’s go-to when we are craving korean food. It comes with picked radish as a side dish and they are pretty big. The dumplings are also juicy and delicious. I have yet to try the other dishes, but would like to explore more food from this place.“
“Got the chicken pad Thai which was made fresh and definitely knows how to cook it correctly. Love that they were extremely friendly and parking was easy. Food tasted great ended up really full and had to just relax for a bit. Definitely recommend but it can go towards the upper 10s in cost per person.“
“Your average Chinese food joint always ate from they're as a kid with my grandpa he loved they're food so much whenever he had money and picked me up he always asked if we wanted to go get some this places orange chicken is out of this world Vegetarian options: Just get the broccoli beef and don't eat the beef only the broccoli“
“One of my favorite restaurants to this day, have known the staff for quite some time and have always joined the food. Food is pretty cheap for the size portions as well. As for the ambiance of the place its not longer dine in but when it was it felt very home like and comfortable. As for now its only takeout.“
“I saw a post regarding this place and decided to stop by to try them out, the post I saw showed that they were very generous with their portions, I can confirm that they do serve humongous portions that you can just barely close the lid of the food Container.I ordered the chow mien/fried rice with spicy pork and 3pcs fried chicken wings, I love the spicy pork, the fried rice and chow mien were also good. They have other foods I have to try out.The servers were friendly and professionalThe dining area feels kinda divey but functional and clean, I came in around 5:30pm, not sure of their operating hours. I looked for and didn’t see a sign stating their hours, I wish they have a self serve soda fountain instead of selling them by the can.Parking: Mini strip mall type parking lot“
“I came over around the afternoon, after being done seeing customers walking out with stuffed bags. I finally decided to try the food. The staffs are really nice, the food is BUSSING.I would definitely recommend the teriyaki chicken, spicy beef, or black pepper chicken. For soup, it would be miso soup, egg drop soup, wonton soup, and the beef noodle soup. If you looking for a crispy snack i would say the cheese wontons. They're super crispy and flavorful. The cheese is warm and melts inside your mouth. I would say the best combo would be steamed rice , shrimp and veggies, with teriyaki chicken. The chili oil makes everything taste 10x better! Be sure to ask for extra or you'll regret it.THIS IS NOW MY GO-TO PLACE FOR LUNCH!Kid-friendliness: They are super friendly with kids! They also have a couple toy capsule machines for kids! ( tattoos, balls, mini keychains, fake gold accessories, and more! YOUR KID WILL ENJOY THIS PLACE!“
“My absolute GO TO for great Chinese Food!! This restaurant reminds of the great Chinese food we used to have growing up on the east coast!I always get the shrimp fried rice and the shrimp lo main. And they have great portion sizes. Even my parents eat from here when they visit from the east coast!!Thank you Emperor Express!!Brandon Larkins“
“Food is great, and a good value. To Go Only.Only problem is No Parking... ever.I wish the owner of the property would change the layout of the parking spaces to be at a diagonal. That way, people can enter off Vanowen heading West Bound, and park nose in. Then when they leave, backing out is diagonal to the storefronts, and they exit the lot facing West.As it is right now, there's a huge sign pole that EVERYONE hits when they pull in trying to park perpendicular to the storefronts, AND hit the sign pole when they back out. Bad game of Tetris.Anyways, for price and value, this is one of the better Chinese To Go spots in Canoga Park, Woodland Hills.Favorites of mine are Orange Chicken and Moo Shoo.The Fried Fish (get the sauce on the side) is out of this world! It's crispy, crunchy, and very tasty. If you get it already mixed with the sauce, by the time you get home it's just one big soggy mess. So please come and do yourself a favor, get the sauce on the side.They do have all of your old, classic dishes as well like beef and broccoli, Mongolian beef, war wonton, and classic wonton soup.Prices are great, very affordable. You do get a good amount of everything as well.“
“They have the best American style Chinese takeout in Burbank. I had a hard time finding a place when I moved here and they were right under my nose! Lovely employees, good value, great portions.I will say they do close a bit early for what I would have thought for a Chinese restaurant but it is a pretty quiet suburban neighborhood.“
“I love this Chinese restaurant. I’m a big fan of Chinese food and China Wok is close to where I live so when I get a craving for Chinese food this is my go to place. The food is excellent and the service is great. I really love their version of Egg Foo Young. I love this dish. When I ordered it the first time I was told that they make their version differently. Oh my God, I really like their version. In fact I hate to admit it but I’m addicted to it. I’ve had both the beef and pork version and I like them both. I’m not sure if they have a shrimp version or combo version but I’m going to ask. Their green beans are really good too. In fact I’ve had many dishes of theirs and it’s all great. I just had lunch and I’m already looking forward to my next meal at China Wok.“
“Was surprised they had my favorite shrimp and broccoli dish which they call imperial shrimp delicious!! But the real winner was when my bf ordered the orange chicken definitely the best I've ever had! Love this spot best Chinese I've had in LA“
“Great find for fast, tasty Chinese food. I was delighted to be greeted by a cheerful woman. That is how you gain clients. She was pleased to assist and didn't treat me like a bother. My three-dish combo order was great, and I have to admit that they have a wide variety of foods to choose from.Food was excellent. Delicious and generous quantities. I recommend and plan to come back again.“
“This is our go-to place for Chinese food! You can get combination dinners with soup, large fried shrimp and egg roll with your combination dinner that also comes with fried rice and choice of entree, all for $10.98! That's a lot of food! Great service, great atmosphere“
“Great service, so quick to give a table and bring the food, they even pack your food to go if u have left overs and also give you some fruit as desert with fortune cookies, loved it, it was first time coming here and ill be coming back here, thanks for the service 10/10“
“I love Mom and Pop shops, this one especially.The lady that is always out front serving everyone is very nice and greets every person who comes in.The food may not be AMAZING. But it is exactly what I want from a Chinese American takeaway.The portion sizes are huge and prices are affordable. And while the prices have obviously increased with time, I would rather still come here and support a great local spot than go to some franchise.Especially throughout lockdown, I went here more than anywhere else to help where I could.Her and some of the staff is still masking for health and safety. And so will I whenever I go in out of respect. (I still almost constantly mask anyways, but I'm usually the only other customer in line that is. Whatever. Not important to the review)“
“I know the place is under a new owner and this is my first time getting takeout from them in general. The food was very hot when I picked up. I only got orange chicken and fried rice because it's just me eating for dinner. I wish there was a dinner combo. Additionally, I would like if there were some things in the fried rice aside from a tiny bit of scrambled egg, some frozen peas and carrots with a bit of onion would do the trick. Flavor of the orange chicken is great. Making the rice more interesting would keep me coming back. I'll come again and try different things.“
“Our Family just moved to this Woodland Hills area. I’ve been eat at different Chinese Restaurants before we found The China Garden. Compare with others this is the best food we had. The ambience is very welcoming and clean. We order honey walnut shrimp, String bean Szechuan sauce and some dim sum. The chicken bao is super good and soft. Shrimp Siu May taste wonderful.Those place our family new favorite to dine in. Will come back!“
“The food is absolutely delicious. Always delightful. Looks similar to any diner atmosphere, but with awesome choices of food or plates. One plate or all you can eat. Several dinner choices with extras. I always get #3 so I get a good selection of extras like a couple of fried shrimp, an egg roll, etc. I also like the white rice which I add to my bowl. Just a hint, pile your bowl to about double the size, like piled as high as you can, because the food really shrinks when it's cooked. The first time I went I didn't know, and I ended up with a half bowl. Now I end up with leftovers.Vegetarian options: The bar of fresh veggies is plentiful and even has a spaghetti noodle on it. It has water chestnuts, mushrooms, onions, spinach, broccoli, etc.Parking: The parking lot fills up at the beginning and end of the karate classes next door, but generally right in front of the restaurant they keep cones in several places for the restaurant parking only, move the cone and the parking is yours.Kid-friendliness: They've always brought a bowl for noodles and veggies that your child may like. They also have several options of sauces so you can add a sauce from plain to very non spicy options, to very spicy. You make the sauce to their liking.Wheelchair accessibility: On the first floor, with many tables that have chairs they can pull away for you to pull up to. You can always tell someone with you what you'd like, or your server can help you. The veggie bar is about waist high, so you might need the help.“
“We've been here throughout the years for regular dinners, Mother's Day dinners, and even graduation dinners, so this is definitely a good place for a sit-in, no matter the occasion. Today we had very quick service, we ordered the Almond Chicken and the Beef Lo Mein, and received our food within ten minutes. The waitstaff is friendly and attentive, and the environment is very welcoming, inviting, and relaxing. I feel very at ease here, and have enjoyed spending time with my family with great food, great portions, and great prices.“
“Great food great deals can’t complain probably the best to go Chinese food spot in the 818 hands down definitely the spot I grew up eating here it’s bussing every time definitely stop by this place deserves 4.7 at least some of the reviews on this place are salty ppl mad at the employees last time I checked this place had the same prices and quality of food and has been here since I was teenager definitely staple in the community especially for me this is certified 818 classic“
