When I worked in West Chester until 2013 I used to frequent the Chinese place hot wok by the exton mall. I hadn't been there since like 2013. Ever since I've been back to area (2 years) I've wondered if they were still in business. Today I was finally back in the vicinity of Hot Wok. As soon as I walked in, she remembered who I was! Now that's attention to regular customers. She said I look the "same". I guess that could be good or bad. I thought my General Tso not only tasted delicious, but it was pretty as a picture so I was inspired to write this review. This place is mostly take out, but I ate in since I live 40 minutes away. If you eat in, bring your own Siracha sauce.

It's one of those lowkey restaurants. Such a sleeper chinese joint. Lotta food and cheap.

Picked up takeout from here a few days ago. I had never tried them before but my significant other wanted egg foo yung. Overall I would say they did ok for what I call cheap Chinese. This place is takeout only and is piled high with boxes of supplies. I liked the egg rolls. They were crispy and the fry oil was definitely fresh. The inside is what you typically get.Dumplings were also ok. The sauce was plentiful which we are finding is not the case in many places. We would order both of these things again. The General Tso's chicken had a taste of ketchup which was a bit off-putting but the order was plentiful and included the requisite few spring of broccoli. The egg foo yung was also ok. Also a big portion The only fail here was the pork lo mein which was bland and needed more time in the wok to get that fry in the noodles. The order taker on the phone was genuinely pleasant as was the woman who checked me out.I would give them another try but I can't say it's my go-to place. I would give the 3.5 stars but I rated them four as I give them the benefit of the doubt that it was just a bad day for them.

The food here is excellent. The portions are large, and everything is consistently delicious. They use very high-quality ingredients, too. I prefer them over any other Chinese food place I've tried in the Exton/West Chester area! Definitely recommend.

Our family take out staple. Love all of the noodle dishes and dumplings. The shrimp stir fries are light and delicious. The egg foo young takes me back to my childhood.

I ordered 3 quarts of Won Ton soup. The meat inside was nearly black? I have no idea what kind of meat it was but certainly not pork. My husband ate it and he is still alive but I couldn't eat it once I cut it open. I did taste one piece...ugh.

Consistently good food. One of our favorite "go to" American Chinese restaurants! Prices are decent too.

I just ordered a Bourbon Chx & a Qt of wonton and they delivered to downingtown in 26 minutes, piping hot. The delivery driver was ecstatic to deliver his careful presentation; A kind soul. The Bourbon Chicken tastes like they're using Woodford Reserve and Vermont AA Maple syrup. I'm confidant the Wonton recipe must be a matter of great pride for the entire extended family. I tried to take a picture but I couldn't put my fork down. Whoever is behind the Wok is a dangerous man. Please give him his flowers. Next time I will do takeout to shake his hand.

Tried the vegan sesame tofu and was was GREAT. Nice portions. Hot and fresh. Not greasy. As a vegan, it's nice to have vegan options with that classic chinese takeout flavor.Also, very nice people!10/10

I work in the same shopping center as this place so I order it rather often. Never have anything bad to say about the food. Today I got my chicken and rice and the rice was very obviously old and the chicken had the consistency of being in an oven for 8 hours. I walk over, after taking 3 bites of the food, and just ask to exchange it for something different and tell them my issues. Immediately she opens it and goes "you ate half of it" and starts borderline arguing with me. I've worked in the food industry for 10 years plus so in order for me to bring something back or even complain takes a lot, it has to be almost not edible. She shouts back for them to make me a chicken and broccoli and then continues telling me I'm wrong and I shouldn't of eaten half. Usually have good experiences with this place but this was really bad.
