Magic Wok

I tried the sampler special and it was pretty good. The only thing I didn't like was the fried shrimp. It was just a very tiny shrimp with so much batter. it was literally just batter on top of batter on top of batter. The shrimp was probably like 1 cm by 1 inches long.I got the orange chicken with the chow mein. I thought it would be something similar to like panda express or something, but I would usually get when I go to a Chinese food restaurant and it was not. They offer a pretty big portion, but the food was just not that great. I think the best thing was the dumpling. The chow mein was really sad and plain and did not really taste stir fried fried or flavorful. It tasted like some sauce was mixed or some noodles in a bowl. The orange chicken was not sweet at all and did not have that tangy flavor or sweet flavor that you would find in orange sauce. It did not satisfy my orange chicken craving. On the other hand, the food was not that oily.TLDR - orange chicken and chow mein is bleh, good dumplings

4.8 out of 5 stars 1- Very fair prices 2- Hard working staff who is attentive 3- Very good for fast-food 4- Restrooms and overall style of place ALMOST makes it a Hole-in- the-Wall establishment... Which are the best

I was very happy with the portion size and price of this place. It was busy and for a good reason! We ordered 3, 3 item combos to feed about 9 people, and it was more than enough food. They let us taste food as well, which was nice post covid. The tangerine chicken was my favorite. It was sweet but not too sweet and had a little savory taste, too. The bbq pork was okay, I think it had too much marinade on it, but it was good as well. The chowmein is always great, and this one didn't have too many veggies, which my kids liked. It was about $13 for a 3 item plate, which is a STEAL! You can even eat inside if you would like to. Overall, this place is now one of our favorites, and we'll be coming back if we are ever in the area. Huge portions and very delicious taste!

They pack food like old school neighborhood American Chinese food place. A lot of food for what you pay. Pretty decent sized line at dinner time. Not the best in taste wise but best in value.

Omg this is so good!First time having magic wok.I was a little skeptical because of the reviews.I am new to the IE and haven't found a decent place close to the Chinese food i used to eat in El Monte.Wor wonton is great.I'm not used to the cabbage in wonton soup but it hit the spot. The flavor was there.2item combo was chow mein and fried rice. The chow mein could have been cooked a little longer but it was good. The fried rice compliments the flavors of the main entrees well. Sweet n sour pork was fresh and so was the teriyaki chicken. The teriyaki sauce was so good also. Not overpowering. The flavor of the fresh cooked chicken was so good. Give this place a try. I don't think there's anything close to here that gives you the Chinese fast food taste like here. I said no to PF changs. More expensive and everything is heavy in a sauce or soy sauce. Located in the chino hills plaza. Plenty of parking.

Ordered the two item combo, the price was reasonable for the amount of food they give you, which is enough food to feed 2 people. No complaints on the taste. I give a thumbs up!

This review is for the $15 szechuan beef that contained 80% celery. A total ripof and disappointment. Do not bother ordering this item! It looks like there's been previous ratings stating the same thing with other dishes. Unfortunately, I missed those reviews! Play it safe and look for another restaurant.

Great customer service, delicious food first time here. Definitely coming back,next time we come visit Chino hills

I love Chinese and Japanese food except for this place. Nothing good to say so I'll ended here. Hard pass!

I haven't been here for a while. The menu is fully updated and are on TV screens now. What an improvement. Yes prices have increased but what places haven't increased their prices. We order the wonton soup ahead of time because it takes like 10 minutes to make. And you can order your combos ahead also and just pick it up.The place feels the same; fast Chinese food, but the new menu is a great surprise. They may have a new chef, because the flavors are a bit different from what I remember. The Chow Mein has a bit more cabbage and is less orange/brown in color. The taste is different from what I remember but it is not bad just different.All in all we ordered 2 one item combos, 1 large wonton soup, 1 Sampler Special, 1 Small A La Carte Honey Walnut Shrimp, and 1 Medium A La Carte Chow Mein. The total was under $39. The Chow Mein for me was a drastic change just because my kids used to love that it had minimal veggies and a lot of noodles but now it's Mama picking the veggies out for them.
