I was craving some good old Chinese-American food and found this place randomly. Went for the General Tso lunch special, which came with soup, rice, and a potsticker. A great version of the dish, it was still hot and crispy even though I had ordered it to go. The hot and sour soup was excellent as well, with a good amount of tang. I also ordered the chicken wings based on what I had read on here, and they were also great. The standard "salt and pepper" style that you find in many Chinese joints around San Diego, this version is as good as any of the "famous" places like Golden Chopsticks or Imperial Mandarin. The prices were great too. The lunch special was just over $11 for a very generous portion of food. Definitely will be back!

We ordered delivery, so no comments for the restaurant itself. But if the food is a reflection of the service and, it is very positive.We ordered chicken fried rice, orange chicken, and cream cheese rangoon. The portions were great and enough to share. The flavors were great and it all looked very fresh.Look forward for the next time were out this way and check the restaurant for its ambience.

Came to Iron Wok a few times and will never go again. A few co-workers and myself decided to dine in for lunch this past Friday, it was a horrible experience not only did one of our orders come out incorrectly when shrimp dish was ordered chicken was brought out instead. The main reason I'm writing this review and will never go back to this establishment is because we were leaving and literally got chased down in the parking lot being accused of not paying our bill when we paid with a$100 bill for a $70 tab which we left a $17 tip. For one of the ladies who actually took our money to run out as well was completely unacceptable and embarrassing for that I should've took that tip back. Completely ruined my mood!!!

The GPS directions don't seem to work for this place. It's in the UPS plaza, a little further down from the CVS and kinda of close-ish to Lomica Dr. I very much enjoyed my dark meat, non-fried, wine/garlic/soy/green onion House Chicken Special (full size). The order also came with a small side of rice. Not sure if it was healthy, but it was good. I wonder if they can spice it up if I ask next time?We ate at a booth inside and there was plenty of other tables. Either than Air Conditioning is broken or they don't have AC. We're going through a heat wave, so it was very warm inside. The place emptied around by 7:30pm, so I'm guessing most of their business is to-go.

We tried this place for the first time. Tacked in and hard to find in the big Von's mall, close to Akai Hana Japanese and Urge Gastro Pub. The food was, wow, delicious! We ordered our usual Chinese faves, BBQ pork fried rice and eggplant, and garlic chicken. All of them came right out of the wok hot (temperature) and had awesome flavors. Fried rice was rich and so tasty, so close to our all time fave Happy's Fried Rice, which was served at Happy's in Mission Valley long long time ago before Happy retired and sold the place. We still talk about the Happy's fried rice and could not find the replacement Chinese to match Happy's food a couple of decades later, but this place had the similar flavors. The eggplant was a bit spicy for me. Next time we will ask for no spicy. I liked that they use good amount of fresh vegetables. The prices are reasonable and the amount of food was generous. We had enough leftover for lunch!My husband is not a big fan of Chinese food and always drags his feet to try a new Chinese place but he thought the food was delicious and was happy that we tried out the place. The Chinese lady who served us was very nice and made us feel at home. They have a large dining area with booth seating but it seems that they do more takeouts than eat-in. In fact, we were the only ones eating-in close to the closing time Friday nightafter another couple who were there before us left. We almost didn't go in because the place looked empty and a restaurant being empty usually is not a good sign, but we made a point to at least try once. Don't get fooled by the empty dining room and miss the good food!

The food is great! We came a little before 3pm for a late lunch. A lot of the restaurants in this shopping center close down after lunch, but Iron Wok was open. We were the only ones there, but we saw a few to-go orders picked up. The word is out, this place is delicious.Service is great! The hostess is so friendly and nice. Food comes out hot and fast. Five stars for great food and great service.

I've been going to Iron Wok for 19 years (it used to be Quick Wok) and I could not say more positive things about their food. Their Chicken Chow Mein is the best I've ever had and I get it every time I go. The Cashew Chicken is also incredible. I now live out of state and every time I come home it's always a priority to get Iron Wok (usually for dinner on the way home from the airport). I love this place so much, I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

Dish name: Pineapple fried rice.This fried rice tastes VERY DELICIOUS! The rice is cooked just right, fluffy and not too hard or too soft. Unlike other restaurants, this place is not too greasy, not too oily and I thought the raisins are a creative twist. Not only that, the prices here are VERY reasonable, and you can add meat or seafood for a little extra. Definitely will visit again, highly recommended!
