I’ve eaten here for many years and ranted and raved about this Chinese food. I would never leave a 1 star, pretty sure I have a 5 star review from years ago. But the last 2 times I’ve ordered the food is completely different. My go to was the Pork Lo Mein, egg rolls, and deep fried dumplings. Now it’s like I’m eating store bought pot stickers and egg rolls. The pork lo mein and every thing else is just bland. Not sure if they changed ownership. Unfortunately I don’t have the desire to order from here anymore. Which is disappointing because it was the best Chinese in town. I’m not sure what happened..

The chicken fried rice has waaaaay too much onion in it yet it's still tasteless. Super disappointed with this place. Staff not very friendly.

Found a piece of steel wool in a piece of chicken that was suppose to be General Tso's Chicken dinner last night. It didnt taste or look like chicken and ended up in the garbage for $13.55

Bad quality meat, stale rice, flavorless, and soggy greasy egg rolls. The best thing was the prepackaged duck and soy sauce. Already feel sick. Cheap for a reason

I Am The Stone That The Builder Recieved
I am not from Sarasota but I’ve always had amazing experiences with Chinese spots and decided to get some while visiting. The food seemed good initially but I later realized that May not be the case. I had fried chicken, fried rice, a side of doughnuts and a spring roll. The spring roll was nasty. It tasted like old cabbage and the fried breading smelled/tasted weird, as well 🤨. I initially thought that the large amount of fried food being my first meal of the day was what caused the stomach pains I’ve gotten but after some reviewing and research I realized that it was the food itself. I used the food as leftovers, twice, and each time I would gain a stomach ache. Would not recommend.

Quite serviceable. Not gourmet sit down fine dining, and tables are basically used by folks waiting for their orders, but excellent for what it is, a strip mall take out joint.
The spice dishes are generally set for an American palate, so I could see someone who has a need for heat being disappointed. (I don't, and I don't know what happens if you ask for it spicy.) Unlike the spice, they do not hold back on the sugar, if it comes with a sweet-ish sauce, it will definitely be quite sweet - i.e. bourbon chicken, even Gen. Tso's is more sweet than hot.
The shop next door is a cigar bar, so for me, it's just as well it's take out. I don't smell it inside, but the sidewalk air is sometimes tainted and on those days I'm happy to let my nose reset on the drive home. And I do drive by a couple other places to get here.
I don't understand the criticism of the egg rolls in some reviews. They may not be outstanding hand rolled gems, and I feel pretty certain they are from the same supplier that services most (all?) of the similar take out places locally, but they are well executed, always fried to order hot, and really rise above with a dab of the hot mustard (not the insipid packets, but the little cups of the "good stuff" - not on menu, just ask).

The only Chinese takeout place I go to period!!! I recommend this place to anyone in Sarasota! I go outta my way for this place and it's so worth it a lot of the other places in Sarasota are just terrible! Try them and you will love it!!!
I came here for dinner tonight. I wanted something fast with veggies, so China Wok it was. I have been here before they seem always busy. I asked for my sauce on the side today with Chicken and Broccoli steamed as I got a small order for me only. It was just enough it also came with rice and got my chopsticks. Also, you get your fortune cookies. Prices ok here like any Chinese fast food and girl at register is friendly always busy.
Vegetarian options: Has a simple basic diet menu also.

China wok is a dirty Chinese place that smells like cigarettes and must.
