Visited on Feb 14 & it’s my second time here, I first visited in 2023 in mid Spring. The owners or workers are obviously Asian, not sure if they are new management but this is why I came back because the food is extremely delicious!!! I live in another town about 30 minutes driving distance and I come all the way down here to Famous Wok because all the other Chinese food restaurants don’t even come close to Famous Wok which is comparable to NYC Chinese food. There is one other good one that’s in Geneva but Famous Wok is closer to me. There’s a restaurant called Panda Express in NYC and Famous Wok tastes similar to Panda Express which is a very popular restaurant in NYC. I highly recommend Famous Wok because the food is very, very good! Not over cooked, not burned, not stale but just excellent tasting food reasonably priced; two plates with two eggrolls only $31! Whoever reads this, you must try Famous Wok, you won’t regret it!

I'm not sure what these reviewers have experienced...Before the revamp, I quite liked the place. Since the revamp, I have to try to think of other places to get lunch, but most times I just end up back here. The orange chicken & spicy garlic chicken are my absolute go-to picks. Solid every single time.Never complained about the amount of food I'm given. Sometimes it's a bit too much lol maybe I get special treatment as a repeat customer. Not sure. But I'll continue giving my money.

Since new ownership it’s terrible! Way over priced and they barely give you any food ( old owners were way better) rude staff also !

Ever since the new SPANISH owners it's gone severely down hill. They try I'll give them that, but I'm sorry, just no. This restaurant was a staple of the food court and now nothing tastes the same. It's quite terrible! I always compared the sesame chicken and lo mein of this place to others because theirs had always been my favorite and it breaks my heart what this has turned into. I would love to learn if the original owners moved somewhere else because these poser's ruined it. Have you had a Chinese persons spaghetti and meatballs that tasted better than some Italian grandma who made it? Pizza? Not quite the same is it? Stick to what you know, don't just buy out a restaurant and pretend to make what they're known for....oh and not to mention the price is a lot more than it used to be.... Just upsetting....

This place now has 2 sizes? A pint and a styrofoam to go box. I got a pint for $9 of I thought was sesame chicken, which were these tiny tid bits, sauce resembled sesame chicken, and the 3/4 of lo mein. The lo mein had a weird taste of shrimp but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be vegetable. Half way into eating it I gotten a mouth full of bullion. Complete salt. It was terrible!

I use to love this place. I use to go to Greece Mall just to get their Chinese food or whenever I did go to the mall for shopping I would stop there to get food but now the food is awful. Seems like they got new owners and cooks and cutting cost. NEVER AGAIN

I used to drive 20 minutes atleast once a month, sometimes more to get the bourbon chicken and vegetable rice, it was by far my favorite place to get Chinese food. I dont like onions and my mother is allergic to onions so it was perfect that the rice didnt have onions inside and the bourbon chicken was always cooked to perfection. Im guessing they are under new management or got bought out because they have different employees and the food is different. All the types of meats they have are now smaller, dont look as appetizing and they don't have the bourbon chicken. Me, my mother, and my best friend LOVED the bourbon chicken they used to have and now that its gone we will have to find somewhere new.

I haven't been here in a while but I've never had any complaints. I pretty much get the same thing every time though, which is the sesame chicken and rice. I've noticed that they skimp on the sesame chicken but give you a nice portion of any other side.
