Delicious! I had sweet and sour chicken, and it was such a light, crisp batter that made the dish was so tasty! My husband had pepper steak and all he should do was rave. The egg rolls were crispy and dee-lish, as well as the pork fried rice. A delightful dinner. The staff was present, but not overbearing and the chef came out to check that all was to our taste. So nice!

Still the Best Chinese food in Florida! I gave up looking for Chinese food after the first few years of looking turned out to be awful. Moved here 9 years ago from Brooklyn and the struggle to find great food has been a total let down. Then by accident I found this GEM! I discovered Asian Wok about 3-4 years ago and I have been a loyal customer since. I live about 25-30 min away but I'd be willing to drive further for this place if necessary! The flavors are like from home and I needed my other New Yorker's to know about this place because we need good Chinese food and now you know where to go! Enjoy, and btw, this is my 2nd review of Asian Wok on Google. I love this place! The Szechuan Beef is ♥️

Was there for a dine-in dinner on a Thursday night with two other companions. I selected this place because of its good reviews, location, and the availability to eat in (something not that common for Chinese restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area, for some reason).
The place is a very simply appointed restaurant - plain tables and chairs, not much decor. It seems to be mainly geared towards a takeout business. There was one young person manning the counter in the rear and everyone else was in the kitchen area. We were quickly provided with menus and water-filled glasses. Soon afterwards an older gentleman came out from the kitchen to take our order.
I ordered one of their combo meals (honey chicken, pork fried rice, and egg roll). I asked for them to hold the honey since I really just wanted the fried, breaded chicken chunks. That request seemed to confuse the gentleman who suggested the sweet and sour chicken combo until I explained exactly what I wanted - plain chicken.
We were not provided a bowl of complimentary fried noodles which I’m always used to receiving at a sit down Chinese restaurant. Not a big deal but out of character to what I’m used to in other places. My two companions ordered different versions of the fried rice as a meal (not a combo).
The food eventually arrived - it took a little while but it seems they were busy with some takeout orders. My dish had a fair amount of chicken and a smallish portion of fried rice but no egg roll (usually Chinese food servings are very generous). I waited a few minutes in case the egg roll was delayed but nothing. When I asked the older gentleman who had taken our order and brought out the food about it, he simply responded: “Oh, you wanted the egg roll too?” I was incredulous. It’s one part of the three part combo meal advertised. Why would I have to ask for it as an extra item? He quickly brought me the ‘forgotten’ egg roll.
The egg roll was what you would expect - the regular frozen type which is fried to order. However, the chicken was exceptional. It was lightly breaded and expertly fried with plump and moist steamy centers of chicken breast. On the other hand, the pork fried rice seemed old and had an off-putting taste. I couldn’t place my finger on what the strange taste was but I had to add a generous amount of soy sauce to disguise the odd flavor. One of my dining companions had the same reaction to his fried rice. My other companion - who had the chicken fried rice - didn’t render an opinion. Maybe his was prepared fresh.
The service was attentive and the decor rather pedestrian. The prices were a bit high compared to other similar restaurants and for the portions served. My real disappointment was the quality of the food (other than the chicken). It’s hard to mess up fried rice at a Chinese restaurant. This dish is probably one of the most standard at these establishments so how can you go so wrong?
I’m 65 years old and have eaten at dozens of Chinese restaurants all over and this is hands down the worst fried rice I have ever been served. The are quite a few other Chinese restaurants in that stretch of Fowler by USF. They need to get their act together if they hope to be competitive. Unfortunately, if I do come back it will only be for the chicken chunks.

Worst takeout I’ve ever paid money for, went on a Monday night for take out on my way home ordered Bourbon chicken, sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken lomein with veggie and wonton soup spent $60 and it was so bad freezer burnt no seasoning nothing marinated the chicken was so stringy from being over cooked like it was the weeks left overs that was reheated three times! We couldn’t eat it I threw the whole dinner away, the egg rolls I thought would have been edible was also the worst I have ever had! Count this place off my places to never eat at again!!!!! We ended up making turkey sandwiches for dinner! Never eat Chinese good on a Monday
