Portions are bigger than Panda Express and for less money. I suggest getting the crispy chicken. It has a cherry type sauce on it served with bell peppers and onions. Very good. We haven’t been here in over a year cause we did have a bad experience but we gave it another try and I’m glad we did. We spend $22 for 2 adults and 2 kids.

For me it’s the best Chinese food in the area, the chow Mein is never over cooked, and fried rice doesn’t have those huge pieces of onions that most places have. The crispy chicken, the teriyaki chicken and barbecue pork is the best! Also you should definitely try the milk tea it’s delicious. The place is always immaculate and food always fresh. The owner can sometimes be a bit standoffish but I don’t mind. The mango smoothie is a definite must try, specially for those hot summer days to come.

Everytime I buy here. I'm guessing that the beautiful lady is the owner. She always doesn't bother to get the extra coins for the full payment of what I bought. She is so kind hearted. I pray that she and her business will be blessed by God.

They are so nice here, and the food is the best "steam table" style Chinese food in Riverside. My family and I have been coming here since right after it opened.

My favorite is the spicy chicken or jalapeño chicken, that dish is good hot or as a cold leftover. This is the only Chinese restaurant I go to in riverside.

I think the food portions at this wonderful Chinese eatery was profound. I ordered half Chow mein and rice. It also included spicy orange chicken and the Kung Pao was terrific! I would recommend this place to anyone.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place and have been back a few times. Both of my favorite fast food Chinese places changed management so I have been on the lookout for someplace new. Today I went at 7:30 and got fried rice, chow mein, house chicken, spicy orange chicken, and broccoli beef. The house chicken tastes like comfort food to me and I think the potato in it complements the flavor. The spicy orange chicken was nice and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. I also didn't have the problem other people talked about for the broccoli beef - mine had a good mix of both beef and broccoli. The chow mein and rice both tasted good. I will be back when the next craving hits 🙂

Hands down my favorite Chinese food place. The portions are great, their noodles & rangoons are my favorite compared to other places. I tried out a different spot recently and regretted not coming to Wok In Kitchen. The lady that always works there always greets with a smile.

Clean restaurant, nice staff and good quality food. Prices are similar to other local chinese food restaurants and less than Panda. I recommend.

Came here to for the first time. I liked the chow mein it was good with the teriyaki chicken and bed broccoli. I like the broccoli.

G
Gene Guzman

Pleasantly surprised. The chow mien was good. I came a little late and they made some fresh teriyaki chicken and was very good. The house chicken with vegetables was very good also. For those who need extra flavor, they have sauces for that. Teriyaki, soy sauce and sweet sauce. The owners were friendly even though I came late. I will return and recommend it to others.

If you’re new to the area or have never eaten at this location, you have to try it. The food is always fresh and delicious and the people behind the counter are very courteous and kind. I love eating here and they even love my service animal. You have to check it out. Laura adams DAV/USN

I like this place, and Ive been coming here for years now. I've read reviews saying that their food is not to their liking. I think the food tastes great, but it may possibly taste different from other Chinese food places because they dont use MSG, and its not super oily or fatty to me.l. It could also be because I enjoy what I get which is usually veggies, steamed rice, and entrees. Food tastes fresh, they are constantly pulling out freshly made food, and I like their seasoning. I've also seen mention of them being rude. I cant really comment on that since the owner is usually the one to service me. Im honestly not looking for warm eyes or a fake smile, I just want to order my food and leave as fast as possible so I can get home and unwind from the day, and thats what she helps me do.

Generous portions, okay flavor... My girlfriend and I have been looking for a local Chinese food spot and Wok In Kitchen nearly fits the bill. We enjoy supporting local business and appreciate the generous portions served. The only drawback I have is the food quality seems to hit or miss. We went the other day and the orange chicken was fantastic but the spicy chicken was mehh. I hope it was just a bad batch of spicy chicken because the level of quality seemed so different. One entre was super good and the other was lacking. We will go again and I will update if there is any further news. I would go back as it stands 👌

Visited in the evening time a two item combo plate with beef broccoli.. got mostly broccoli.. disappointing but I wasn't surprised. The sweet and sour soup was good but next time I'll be ordering teriyaki chicken so I know I'm getting the protein I'm paying for.

They give you a very generous amount of food, i'd say just get the plate and share half of it with your friend or partner, the bbq beef didnt have the amazing flavor i was expecting, i got the bbq beef freshly made aswell, rice and ramen are great and the teryaki chicken and orange chicken is both good, id give a 3.5 out of 5 stars

First time meeting the owner of this place and he was TERRIBLE!! Asked him about the serving size because it different than what I've gotten in the past and he started getting defensive and I was trying to just explain to him that I've never had a small serving size like the one he gave me before. So he asked which worker I told him the 2 ladies that I've only encountered here and he kept denying it and I explained that I was just trying to tell him that I've never had that type of serving size then he got argumentative and so I just explained to him I don't want the plates anymore especially if I'll be talked to like this when I was just telling him about the serving size smh. I'm glad I turned the plates away cuz this spot has been going downhill for a while now smh. It makes me miss the Mr. Wok in Diamond Bar that I used to go to a lot when I lived on that side. Living in Riverside can't find any good Chinese spots smh

Lupa front worker super rude ask for a sample she gave me fried crunch no meat I said I didn’t taste it she made an oh well face didn’t care they usually give a good amount but they didn’t she gave me 6 little pieces of chicken I asked for more chicken I’ll pay the extra made a big deal about it. NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN UNLESS THE MANAGERS WIFE IS BACK IN THE FRONT SHE WAS REALLY NICE AN GAVE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FOOD Portion.

I felt disappointed about this place.. Yesterday went for the fist time and when i try the Orange chicken realized that they decieve the customers making them believe that they serve chicken in several of the dishes on the menu because what they really seve is 3% of chicken pieces and the rest are potatoe pieces that they prepare in a way that the texture and color make you believe that it’s chicken! Thumbs down 👎🏼👎🏼

Elaina Anderson

My husband and I first time there, but who in their right mind ask then forgets to put the hot sauce in the bag, your suppose to just put it in the bag, were paying customers doe doe! however how does this place have 4 stars with poor customer service. Impossible!! No wonder it was empty.

The lady was rude which it wasn’t even a problem until she was rushing my order , the chow mien was Luke warm , like it was reheated . The rice the same . Black pepper chicken was doughy . It was horrible . I must say .

Did not like, noodles where hard and so was rice, seemed to to sitting for a while, lady was scrapping the burnt noodles from bottom of pan when we walked in, that should have been a sign. Not my usual spot. I will not be coming back.

Food was heat lamped and dry. When I told her I'd wait for some fresh food she put the fresh food in and dumped the old dried heat lamp food on top of the fresh food. I was too grossed out to continue my order

Been going to this place since it opened, but unfortunately can no longer recommend this place. We caught the chef cooking some orange chicken. He grabbed a piece, took a bite from it, and threw the piece he bit back in. Never again will I step foot hear. Made me sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

To the lady in font of me she said “are you gonna tell me the size you want or not “ .it’s not our fault she hates her job !!! Up date : she gave me all broccoli NO beef 🤣

This place is trash. It used to be soooo good. I have no idea what happened. The last two times we’ve came, it just hasn’t been the same. The time before last we thought maybe it was just an off day. But after this second chance, never coming back again. They didn’t put any sauce on the teriyaki chicken, didn’t realize it until we’re already home. The noodles were COLD. Not even warm. Just cold. The rice was sooo bland. House chicken has more potatoes than chicken.
