My family and I were visiting the area and decided to try this restaurant. The food was excellent! It was fresh and hot. I had the House Lo Mein and it was very good. It had a very small indoor eating area but it served its purpose. I would definitely eat here again.

I love this place. Went late after work and they were still open. The people in there was really nice and welcoming. The ordering machines were amazing. So easy to pick what I wanted. Also drove an hour home and the food was still hot. The food was also amazing. Great flavor. Just amazing

Fast service, reasonable prices & open late. Could taste the frying oil on everything which was off putting, but would order again in a crunch.

Open late, pretty quick, and you can get your food rather spicy. The location is great if you’re close to campus or at the bars.

That’s about it for the positives.

The food is mediocre and the prices are high compared to the other Chinese places in town. The meats were all dry and over done for us, and the dishes were extremely vegetable heavy with small portions for a dinner sized meal.

I’m editing my review from the summer. (See below for where I started)

I don’t know WHAT happened since the summer, but we don’t get food from this place much because it’s so close to campus and hard to get to. We ordered tonight and the General Tso’s chicken has… no actual chicken in it (see pics). Fried starch is on the left and the meagre pieces of chicken are on the right. There’s less than an ounce of chicken in the whole thing. We’ve never see quality drop off so fast before.

Worth no stars. None.

There’s a new Chinese food emperor in town. We’ve lived here a decade or so and we’ve tried so many places. En Lai, Lin’s Wok, China King, Happy China, Schetchean Garden, Sichuan House, etc. They are all varying degrees of okay (except Happy China, they’re an automatic stomach ache for me) with issues like too much sauce, stingy portions of meat, gross or sad looking vegetables, and so forth.

Worries no more. First, the servings at Red Wok are good. They aren’t huge, one person could probably eat an entire General Tso’s Chicken or eat half and put the rest away. The prices for what you get are definitely fair. The crab rangoon is smaller, but the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The chicken pieces were all large and similar size and crispy. Delightful after En Lai and China King’s recently decreasing amount of protein in every dish. The last time we got China King, the chicken pieces were 80% fried starch with the odd bit of chicken mixed in. Not the case here. Red Wok is superior in every tenant except location being so close to campus that it can be hard to find parking.

To reiterate, excellent food. Good portion size and price. Wait was pretty quick, but they also weren’t crazy busy when we went. Try it out!

Was absolutely amazing. The rice was perfect and mushy and neither was the general tso’s. My friend and I ordered out food and it was still hot even after our hour plus drive back home.

I loved their shrimp eggplant. It was so good. It had the right amount of spice, eggplant and shrimp. The combination complimented each other. The quantity is also great. I can eat it for at least 2 days. Also try their chicken fried rice and sezhwan chicken.

This place and the workers are really amazing. They fix things if something is wrong and the food is always nice and hot! The chicken wings are to die for and the hot pot choices they have are delicious, 10/10 would recomend to anyone who is willing to go to campus for this place

Chicken Chow Mei Fun is so good. The beef and broccoli is top tier. The orange chicken needs less orange peel bits but is still very good. I will get the gyoza every time. I want the spring rolls to be 25% bigger than they are, but only because they’re so good. Literally my only actual “complaint” is that the sweet and sour sauce hasn’t been good any time. Either too sour/vinegar-y or too watery. But they have delicious food otherwise. I have always claimed to not like rice but their fried rice is just so good. also the guy was still nice to me when i was late picking up my order and they were closing, so it was very cool of them to be cool about my tardiness.
