The Great Wok of China

It’s typical Chinese-​American food at its typicalist. And yes I just made up that word for this review! I really don’t understand how this place could receive anything more or less than 3 stars. It’s good, not great. It’s not exactly cheap, but no complaints.

I was in the area and didn’t have lunch yet so I decided to pay The Great Wok of China a visit for some takeout.
There are 2 entrances: 1 from within the mall and 1 outside facing the parking lot.
They accept credit cards, but for takeout orders of $ 15 or lower, they only take debit and/​or cash.
The interior resembled the old Chinese places I used to visit as a kid with friends/​family. I liked the feeling of nostalgia but others would say its outdated and in need of a renovation.
I ordered the Honey & Garlic Chicken Balls, and the Beef Ho Fun with Black Pepper Sauce. No complaints on the food I ordered.
The staff was very nice & service was faster than I thought.
I’ll definitely come back if I’m in the area.

Best Chinese food in Mississauga!

There isn’t anything special about the food. But I’m glad I tried it. The service was good.

Not sure what all the fuss is about as this place is just mediocre. We got the following for take-​out a few weeks ago:
Cantonese Chow Mein — noodles weren’t crispy and lacked a lot of the nice vegetables and seafood like a good traditional Chinese restaurant would provide;
Chicken with Hot Chili Bean Sauce — a few pieces of chicken but mostly big chunks of onion and green pepper and not a whole lot of flavor;
Pork Fried Rice — not bad but didn’t have any peas or onions, just rice and pork;
Salt and Pepper Squid — it was tasty and well prepared but I’ve better;
Spicy Hunan Beef — best dish we ordered, very fresh and flavorful but could have done without the big chunks of onion; and
Anyway, good size portions and the price wasn’t too bad but I wouldn’t be in a hurry to order again.

New to the area & read the review & we decided to try this place out. We called in our order for takeout. They tell us 20 minutes, perfect. We get there and they tell us our order isnt ready yet… alright. So we wait. and wait. and wait. People are coming in and getting their food and we’re still waiting. 20 minutes later they realize that they never put our order threw. So they offer us a seat at the table while we waited. Took 45 minutes to get our food and they didn’t even offer anything extra or discount or anything. The food itself was alright. Nothing too great. Kind of greasy, but I suppose thats to be expected. Good Prices, terrible service.

I actually like this place a lot lately, take out is all I do. they never messed up my order so far, always take care of my special instructions on my order. They are quick and the food is good

I resisted going to this restaurant for years for no real reason other than the fact that it’s in a crappy little mall. I was wrong and now I am kicking myself for missing out on it for the last 6 years.
I’m making up for it now! Their prices are very reasonable and the food is fresh and delicious.
I’ve had one of their dinners for one that had sweet & sour chicken balls (crispy, not too battered, excellent), chicken chow mein (large good pieces of white chicken), and plain fried rice (surprisingly good for being ‘plain’) along with an eggroll (probably the weakest link but still very very good).
The staff are incredibly friendly and I kinda like the 80’s décor in the restaurant. I wish I could identify even one of the autographed headshots on the wall, but that’s part of the charm.
Don’t be like me and avoid this place because of it’s appearance. Never judge a book by it’s cover!

This is a great place for Chinese. Fresh and friendly. I love the Cantonese chow mien as well as the chicken balls. Interior design is old, but the food and service make up for it.

Best wonton soup in Toronto! This is a must try if you go here. The wontons have the right texture and there’s something really delicious about the broth as well.
Overall a good experience. For the amount of food we ordered it was really affordable as well… ~38 CAD for a soup, egg rolls and 3 entrees for 3 people.
