  Been eating their food, take-out, for about eight years. Consistently quite good, fast, and reliable. Have never made a mistake on my order. Large and hot! dinner portions come with choice of steamed, brown, or fried rice.  Broccoli in garlic sauce is a favorite - never mushy!
  Kitchen is in full view of the take-out counter.
  Ambiance is red, pretty neat, especially at night.
  Staff always courteous.
  Price is right.
  Perfect Chinese take-out for just me or my family of four.

  Yikes. Let's just say the Amazing Wok is NOT amazing. I should have known better because I read the reviews beforehand but I chose to listen to the wrong ones. Do not gamble on your dinner like I did - please go elsewhere.
  
  I wanted some comfort food - you know, old school American Chinese food loaded with who knows what that just hits the spot. A simple mixed veggies with chicken in brown sauce, wonton soup and a shrimp egg roll. My fave place, My Thai, wasn't delivering, so I rolled the dice with this place. And simple is what I got...to the point of being bland and tasteless. My meal was impressively devoid of flavor.
  
  The Good: The food was well-made. I saw actuality shrimp in the egg roll, the outside crust of the egg roll was made with real wonton wrappers, not that deep fried stuff, the veggies were fresh, the soup had actual shredded cabbage in it, and I think the meal was moderately healthy. So they get two stars for good quality and preparation.
  
  The Bad: When I bit into my egg roll I thought "uh oh." It wasn't terrible, it was just flavorless. I tried adding duck sauce but that didn't really help, and the only flavor that I could taste was actually the slightly buttery taste of the wonton wrapper. This trend continued to the main dish, which had a brown sauce with barely any flavor either. The most I could taste was a slight sweet quality but it was so underwhelming I found myself wishing I'd ordered plain steamed veggies so I could have made my own sauce at home. Salting it would not have helped because the sauce had a flat quality about it and would have required a mix of ingredients to give it depth.
  
  The Ugly: Weirdly, after all of this terribly bland food, the wonton soup was like drinking salty bathwater. It's like they held back on salting anything and then accidentally poured the whole shaker into the soup. I was starving and I ate that before my main meal or else I might have been unable to consume it. I was so disappointed too because it was texturally a perfect wonton soup - the wontons weren't too thick or chewy, the broth had thin slices of pork and shredded cabbage in it and it would have been the best part of the meal if it hadn't been oversalted.
  
  Anyways, I was terribly disappointed and felt led astray by all of the great reviews. I should have listened better to the reviewers who called it bland. I took a chance and wasted $20. Don't make my mistake.

  Amazing Wok is... anything but amazing.  My wife has been wanting to try this place ever since The Great Wall closed in Mt Oliver.  
  We ordered General Tso's chicken, Combo Lo Mein, Teriyaki Chicken on a stick, fried rice, won tons, and 3 egg rolls.  The won tons were very good but it went down hill from there.  The Tsos chicken was a bit soggy, the lo mein was also.  The fried rice was average and the egg rolls were rancid.  Not just soggy, not just cold, but had a slight bleachy smell and an off-putting taste.  My wife couldn't swallow her first bite, I mistakenly did.  Luckily I didn't get sick, but that really tainted the rest of our meal...
  I called the restaurant and told them about the egg rolls, and she seemed concerned, so hopefully they took care of them.  
  We, on the other hand, will never go back.  :(

  We love Amazing Wok. It's the only Chinese place we will order from. They give you so much food we always have left overs. Their prices are great as well. We've never had a complaint or problem (we have a picky child who loves the chicken with mixed vegetables but only the vegetables broccoli, baby corn and water chestnuts and they always make it the way she loves!). We order about once a month  for the past decade and we will continue to do so because it is the best!

  This food is tasteless lol how are these other reviews giving this a 4 or 5?? I'm from out of town and it seems like the food was just smushed together and soaked in tasteless sauce. Best thing was the soda from Pepsi.
