Came here for some lunch take out. Staff was friendly and service was quick. I ordered the beef and broccoli lunch special with fried rice(included free chicken stick). Both were good and not dried out. Perfect amount of sauce. Also got some won ton soup and crab rangoon. Won tons were good and they didnt skimp. Crab rangoons were ok, but not the filling type I prefer when it comes to them. Fried noodles were good. Overall not a bad value but nothing that wowed me.

We love hot wok in my family because it’s cheap, quick, and delicious. I have two words for you: BANGBANG. Get the shrimp, it’s good. They are excellent about including free samples of their appetizers in Carry out orders. If you’re dining in, be prepared to be waited on by a very polite and attentive ten year old. Pretty much everything I’ve tried has been delish and I have never gotten the wrong food or had an incorrect order here. It’s a staple– plain and simple.

Okay either I was in the wrong building or everyone who gave this place a good review hasn’t had good Chinese food before. No offense but this place was just gross! I started with crab ragoons because I love them, I did not love these! The filling tasted like garlic(not what I was expecting) and the outside was just way to thick. I ordered sesame chicken because the picture on the menu looked good, bad choice again. The sauce was a light orange to yellow color instead or the brown it should be and it tasted weird. The poor girl working was answering two lines on the phone and waiting on all the tables, she was way to busy. She was trying her best but it was just to much for one person. I do not plan on going back to this place but I always say try things yourself before listening to others. I hope you have a better experience then I did.

I’ve driven by Hot Wok hundreds of times before I finally made it in — I wish that I had stopped in sooner! I tried a number of dishes and liked every one of them. Everything tasted fresh, which is different than some of my experiences at other local chinese places. My favorites were the boneless spare ribs and lo mein. The restaurant was tidy and the staff was very friendly — both things that I look for at any restaurant. I’m excited to have tried this place and add them to my takeout go-to list.

came with a group of 6 and ordered family style, so we had a chance to try a good amount of dishes. the lo mein and the honey boneless spareribs were delicious and our faves. the crab rangoons were a great way to start our meal off– they were large and flavorful! the sushi and dumplings also diversified our meal up. overall great food and fast service! a must try.

Get it to go! The wait staff lacks warmth and the dining room is sterile and loud. This is NOT a date venue. The food is a little above average. I’ve yet to find any singular item that calls me back to this place.

So I have given this place three chances. The first time, my hubby did not like the chicken pad Thai. He felt it was the worst he has ever had. I had the bourbon chicken which was pretty decent. It is not the best but it was fine to eat. The second time we tried this we had the chicken fried rice. It was pretty decent. My husband loves the egg rolls. This meal makes us want to go back. The third and sorry to say the last time we will probably eat here we had the chicken fried rice. This time they have changed their recipe. Instead of using all white meat like they did the previous time(mind you that was two years ago) they use what looks like chicken thighs and legs. My hubby does not eat dark meat at all, so this was an immediate turn off for him. He did not want to eat it at all. I tried it but, presentation is everything. The chicken fried rice did not look good at all and pretty much tasted like it looked. Again, I wasted food…(this is a pet peeve of mine, that I do not like to waste food) My husband did love the egg rolls. I purchased 4 and he ate 3 of them. I had one, it is not my favorite egg roll, but they are OK. I have had better. All in all, Hot Wok isn’t a bad place, it just isn’t that greatest either.

I’ve tried the food here twice. I didn’t really like the fried rice the first time that I ordered take out from here. I live in the area and the other«chinese» place in the area are REALLYREALLY bad so I tried here. My second trip I ordered the«Korean Beef» and asked if it was really spicy and I was told that it was. I don’t know what they consider spicy but this is not it. I will not be making a third trip.

Nice place. We had dinner there tonight. We all enjoyed the meal. It was much like other Chinese places I’ve been. Id go back.

This place is very close to me, which means that I probably eat here more than other Chinese places. It’s pretty decent, it’s got a menu that is pretty much the same as the other’s in the area, I believe it is owned by the same company as many others around Northern Kentucky. One thing that this place has over some others is that they make sushi. The sushi is better than you’d find at a supermarket but not as good as you’d find at a place that specializes in it. The food is tasty and pretty cheap. I’ve always had very quick service here and haven’t had any major complaints, it just doesn’t stand out from other restaurants in the area. I’ve always been happy enough with the food that I’ve ordered and the owner used to occasionally give us a free appetizer for coming so often which was really cool. A friend actually bought a giant fan off of their wall because they mentioned that they were going to get rid of it. He had the owner sign the fan as if he had made it or something. If you’re looking for Chinese food and in the area, then stop by here.

Best Asian take out IMO. They make it fresh, with fresh veggies, and are very quick(almost to a fault when your eating in). Not your mall-food-steam-tray stir fry — this is the real deal. I always look for a coupon in val-pak or online — but the food is well-priced for the quality. When we’re running a little behind, this is the first take-out we look to to bail us out.

A definite must-try! Great food, great waitstaff and service! They’re fried rice and egg rolls are excellent! The restaurant is located in a small plaza on a hill behind the Ft. Wright Walmart*, and you’ll regret it if you miss it! You gotta check it out!

Stopped in this little restaurant today for lunch. It’s primarily Chinese cuisine, but also has some Thai, Japanese and Korean influences. It’s in a new strip center behind the Wal Mart in Ft. Wright. Clean, comfortable place with table service and take out available. Lots of menu choices; we had Schezuan Shrimp and Kung Pao Chicken. Each was served with choice of white or fried rice. Both were very tasty and had many fresh vegetables: zucchini, mushrooms, baby corn, onions, etc. The Kung Pao Chicken also contained peanuts which my husband didn’t particularly care for, but I thought it was fine. The bill for two lunch entrees, a water and an iced tea was only $ 12.50. Very reasonable, I thought. We were plenty full. One of the owners stopped by to make sure everything was ok and she said they own a few other locations in Northern Kentucky: First Wok in Erlanger, Asian Wok in Cold Spring and Golden Wok in Burlington. According to their web site, they have been in the restaurant business locally since 1995.
