13 days in Palm Desert and I’m really missing my Korean Cuckoo rice cooker. I researched various Chinese restaurants in Palm Desert and was impressed with City Wok’s website claims: “our sauces are homemade. We never use MSG. We believe in Clean…” Since all dishes are supposedly made-to-order, we felt that we should be able to order something without garlic in the sauce or content. The interior has more of a California Club ambiance than Chinese Restaurant. The host and servers are friendly enough though. We ordered Chicken Satay, Steamed+ Fried Chicken Dumplings. Braised Tofu was in the online menu, but not showing on the dine-in menu, but they agreed to make it for us. Upon request, they made our dishes without garlic, including the braised tofu. The chicken satays were already marinated with garlic and cannot be changed. First to arrive were the steamed fried dumplings which were ok as European dumplings, but not delicate enough as Chinese dumplings. Parts of the dumplings with double dough were under steamed and tough – this would never have happened in a proper Shanghai restaurant as they would have steamed or boiled the dumplings more thoroughly before frying to get the soft & moist but crispy texture. The house-made sauce was very pleasant. The chicken satays were a big surprise, we expected delicate pieces of chicken tenders on skewers, instead, they were four chicken breasts, each on a stick. The garlic was light and not detectable at the restaurant but the garlic effects was still noticeable long afterwards. The breasts were not tough, on the dry side, and BBQ’d too long, burnt like Portuguese BBQ chicken instead of tender and juicy like Malaysian/Thai/ satays. The difference may be in the size of each piece, since they are so big, they would naturally have to be cooked longer. Because they were so gigantic, it was not possible to enjoy them like bite-size appetizer satays. The rice was a bit dry (not enough water) some people like their rice tough, we prefer our rice more steamy & soft. The tofu dish was OK, again, not very authentic, the bamboo shoots were the toughest I’ve ever had. Our server was a very nice lady and always approached our table with a smile. She alone gets five stars. The inside section where we sat felt like a fast food place – a different feel than the patio. Unfortunately, all the outside tables were taken. One thing I forgot to try was the half size, it would have been a great idea for the chicken skewers and actually everything else as we left half the chicken and tofu as neither of us enjoy this kind of left over Chinese food as it would have been two greasy on the second day.

We frequented the former PD location on CC for years and tried the new (mall) location for dinner this evening.
Same great food we’ve always enjoyed, same outstanding service.
Ambiance is very pleasing, better outdoor dining than the former location.
Inside was smaller than we expected. NOISY to the point we had a very difficult time communicating with our server throughout our visit. I will say there was a big group close to us who left after we’d been there, and all we would think of is how noisy it’s going to be in season. That was a major disappointment to us.
The mall parking lot was far more congested than we had expected for 4pm out of season.
We were seated near the mall entrance glass wall, and it was enjoyable people watching during our visit.
In all honesty we are pretty disappointed in this new location. We kept an open mind through out our visit, and did have an enjoyable walk through the mall after dinner. I’m sure we will be back, but this location falls short of our dining expectations which is difficult to admit as much as we enjoyed the former location. It is worth a try to draw your own conclusion.

The food was good but, not great. The place was very clean. The help was friendly and nice. The extremely loud noise coming from the the kitchen dishwashing was very distracting. They charge $8.00 if you want fried rice instead of white rice. They charge $2.00 for having the healthier brown rice. They don’t offer lo mein as a substitute. The appetizer are quite pricey unless you get the happy hour ⏳ specials which are a better value. The average entrees $17 – $22+ parking ️ is a nightmare when the mall is busy. It’s a decent restaurant .

I haven’t eaten at City Wok in over 20 years. The last time I ate there the food was fast-food quality at best. They have since upped their game to a true dine-in, high quality dining experience. The food was fantastic, very authentic, and the service was impeccable! The ambiance was refined, quiet, and intimate. The proximity to the shops is also very convenient for a day out.

Good city food and well-sized portions. I’d recommend the spicy chili string beans, chicken dumplings, and Singapore rice noodles.
If their masonry’s as good as their cooking, 5/5 would hire City Wok to build a City Wall to keep out invading Mongolians.

First visit and we were impressed! Full bar, full-service dining, and a carryout counter in one. We ordered cups of the won ton and hot & sour soups, and the servings were large. They would have been enough as a meal on their own, but we managed to move on to our entrees sesame beef and City Wok chicken. Again, the half order was a generous size and plenty of food. Server was friendly, attentive, and efficient, and they pack your leftovers for you. There are several items I look forward to trying on future visits. Thank you to everyone working there.
