Ever since I tried their food, me and my son are hooked. Used to go to local place on Keyser ave for 17 yrs until finding this place. Reason for only 4 stars, overall total for an order is pricey and we order same items all the time, prices change.

I have no idea what some of the review are talking about as the food is always fresh when I order it. I always get food here for my family and they enjoy it. The ladies at the front are also very nice and helpful.

During my travels through northeastern Pennsylvania I’ve never seen such a place as wondrous as the China Wok. Furthermore I would like to congratulate China Wok on their fabulous methods of cooking fine cuisine of the Asian manner. In conclusion I would like to thank China wok for a magnificent meal and I will be returning soon, hungry for more.
