I've been coming here since I was a kid, and even as an adult, it feels like treat! The two ladies who are always there are very welcoming and always have a smile on their face. Don't let the inside deter you from trying it out. It's a medium sized location with a very calm demeanor. We love the Chicken Chowmein and the Kung-Pao chicken. The egg rolls are nice and crispy and the sauces are great. The portions are large so you can definitely share with your family or significant other You have to try it

This place needs to update there system of payment methods. It's 2024!!! I walk in and order food. After 10 minutes a lady, very rude and dismissive tells me my card has declined. I show her the transaction has been processed, i show her proof, a d she continues to dismiss the obvious that my card hasn't been charged. So i basically i was charged for food i never received and approached by some strong short lesbian. Never again will I go to this place!!! If you decide to go here bring cash I guess.

I have been to this place twice and had different things each time I've been there. The food is very very good it's kind of out of the way, but it's well worth it

A nice little cozy neighborhood place, the lunch specials are a good deal, as to price & quantity.

My family and I love Red Wok!! Its a local small restaurant that may seem like it doesnt have much to offer but it is has the best food to satisfy your cravings!! Besides the food, the staff are the sweetest people ever. My family and I have been there so much that we are pretty much regulars, even the first time we went they were so kind and polite to us. I would recommend Red Wok 100% the food is delicious ! (take out is also good)

We moved to Central Coast Ca almost 2 years ago. We love the area! There is one thing missing though. No good Chinese restaurants! We have searched high and low, from Santa Maria to San Luis Obispo with no luck. As a matter of fact, you can read one of my reviews and see how badly a restaurant flunked out, In my humble opinion. Enough of that. When we lived in Newbury Park we had a favorite, go to restaurant that we always went to when someone in our family was sick. "Sick" could mean a cold or flu , but it could also mean I had a bad headache and called in sick for cooking dinner. No matter what, my son was always first in line requesting Red Wok? With a hopeful expression. Well, with our move and my son moving out those days were behind us... UNTIL! Drum roll please! I had an epiphany! When I need to come to Thousand Oaks, why not order what we love, put it in an insulated bag that we already have, and bring it home! Instant excellent food! So we tried it and it worked! Now having to drive to Thousand Oaks won't bee so bad. As for the food you can get here, everything is made fresh. I loved the wor wonton soup! House special noodles, kung pow chicken, broccoli and beef, shrimp with lobster sauce, the list goes on and on. You can eat there, it's a simple place, not fancy, or take it to go. Don't be put off by the older lady, she seems gruff, but the chef is great.

I have seen this place for decades and some reason went next door to the Alamo but not there. I gave it a shot when I wanted shrimp fried rice and my usual go to place was closed. A A friend and I went to try it out, both of us were virgins. We ordered the eggplant with tofu, shrimp fried rice, pork egg foo young, chicken with vegetables, beef with snow peas, and chicken dumplings. The server explained that the dumplings are made in house, along with their egg rolls. Big difference from those restaurants that uses factory created. Wow they were huge, the filling was delicious and the texture of the dumping was fresh. I love dim sum, and this place questioned the quality of those places I was going too. Will be asking if things are made in house next time I go elsewhere. Ordering to delivery of the food took some time, but they cooked to order, which I appreciate. The above food order, I would get again and try out more of their options. I heard they have been open for 20+ years, congratulations to them and continued success.

i got the beef chow mein and steamed dumplings. both were excellent.portions were
We visited the Red Wok on a Thursday for lunch and were very impressed with the perfect blend of seasoning on the cashew chicken with fried rice, and the mushroom guy pan with chicken and rice. Wow, it was delicious, and the egg drop soup tasted fresh and had bamboo shoots in it! But the best part, we're the fresh vegetable filled egg rolls, cooked perfectly with the sweet and sour sauce. The lady who served us was an excellent waitress, very polite, and gave us good recommendations. It was a 2.5 hour drive, but we want to go back the next time we visit 1000 Oaks or Ventura areas.

We had an excellent dinner here. We ordered chow mein (house & veggie) and mu shu pork. They were delicious. We appreciated that the chopsticks were of better quality than the usual break apart kind too. Highly recommend.

This little strip mall Chinese place surprised us! The portions are big enough for two - the moo sho was five full pancakes! The pan fried dumplings were twice the size of normal dumplings. The sizzling rice soup is sharable. My favorite was the sesame beef - crisp beef in a sauce with a hint of ginger. Yum! Simple, clean tables. Service was terrific, too. We will be back.
