We visited because of the kids’ UGA Fest, but this place was not what I expected at all. They even served the food on disposable Styrofoam plates. The taste was shocking—in my 40 years of living in the U.S., I’ve never experienced food like this, which honestly made me curious enough to look into the kitchen. What I saw was people who appeared to be my South American friends cooking in what looked like a Chinese restaurant setup.
The chicken didn’t taste right at all, and even the easiest dishes like white rice and fried rice tasted strange. The food was so bad that my kids and I couldn’t finish it and ended up leaving.
I truly feel sorry for the people who live in that neighborhood—for having a restaurant this bad nearby. I vote this as America’s Worst Restaurant.

Ordered Mongolian beef & egg rolls. Mongolian beef literally had 4 pieces of meat and an ungodly amount of onions & scallions and overall small portion for $14, not impressed. One of my egg rolls was burnt as well.

Absolutely the worst Chinese food, I have ever had in my Life!!! Totally soggy spring rice and only sent 1, when I ordered 2. The chicken lo mein was all big cold noodles??? No chicken or any vegetables to be found! Absolutely disgusting! Don’t waste your money or time. The owner was incredibly rude and charged me twice , when I tried calling call about a 60$ and was very rude. Unbelievable!!!! And so cold. Nonedible…. How can you mess up Chicken Lo Mein and spring rolls. The Szechuan chicken was even worse!!!!

Ordered Sesame Chicken combo and was pretty happy with what I got. The chicken had good flavor, but was maybe a bit sweet. The texture was good though. The egg roll was not great. It was crunchy, but the vegetables were not very fresh, and I could definitely taste that, so I would pass next time. The fried rice was solid 7.5/10. It did its job but wasn't anything special. The restaurant looked pretty clean and my food was ready within 10 minutes. Overall a pretty average experience for this kind of thing.
For the price it's not bad at all but I am going to see what other Chinese spots in Athens offer.

This has been by far the worst Chinese food that we have ever had. We ordered items that are typical staples in any Chinese restaurant; szechuan and sesame chicken with an order of crab rangoons.
The chicken dishes we practically flavorless, which is incredibly difficult to do in Asian cuisine, yet they managed to accomplish the unimaginable.
Meanwhile, the crab rangoons were right on par with the entrees. With the exception that they tasted only of cream cheese.
Having been loyal customers of Athens Wok, this was such a huge disappointment and waste of money.

Dependable tasty Chinese food at a great price! My fave Chinese spot in Athens 10/10
I want to start off by saying that several months ago, this place used to be the best Chinese place in Athens to me, of course! Lately, they have gone down hill tremendously. The food is OLD( NOT FRESH), and the quantity has dropped significantly. My house rice had 3 of the tiniest shrimps known to man. There was no pork and 1 or 2 strips of chicken. My sesame chicken was OLD. The breading was mushy. I got the lunch special and they didn't bother to give me my soup but maybe it was for the best! I will NOT be eating here again! I can't afford to waste money nowadays.

Walking distance from home, and consistently good. Definitely recommend
