Food was okey, portion sizes are large. Service is kindly. For fast eating this place is correct. You can't seat inside.

Okay this is a modest take-out only Asian food place, but if you are in this part of town I recommend them as decent quality and efficient. We have been on a Shrimp with Lobster sauce quest in NYC for some time and the entree we ordered was the best we have had so far. The shrimp were large and succulent and well-seasoned. There was a bit too much sauce but the shrimp and flavoring is the important part.

As a frequent consumer of this kind of Chinese American take-out food, honestly Wok City is closer to a 3/5 when compared to similar spots, but I usually like to bump my review up a star to bring up the overall rating. Many establishments like this tend to generally get lower ratings, but I think it's important to view them through a slightly different lens when reviewing. Thus, 4/5 it is. Service is fast and curt. Not rude in my experience, but very to-the-point. While this kind of stuff doesn't bother me personally, I mention this because I've seen some people get upset about this when I come to pick-up my food. So, just be aware. Cash only with ATM inside. Not wheelchair accessible, but the staff will come outside to take your order if you can't get inside. Limited seating. Food comes out super quick. Like, I'll call to order ahead a few blocks from the place and it'll often be ready by the time I get there in a few minutes. Food-wise, everything is good, but its nothing special. The Sesame Chicken is pretty middle of the road compared to what I've had elsewhere and the Chicken w/ Broccoli is usually slightly worse. The Fried Chicken Wings or Fried Half Chicken with Fried Rice is probably my favorite item on the menu. Pretty greasy, but that kind of comes with the territory. In the same vein, the Chow Fun is flavorful and has a nice texture, but runs much more on the greasy side. I still order it from time to time, but it might be too heavy for some people. Egg drop and wonton soups are also good. Crab Rangoons are kinda mid. Overall, a solid and cheap Chinese American take-out experience.

I was very satisfied with my take out order from here! Not happy that now I have to go a little further for take out; my usual spot got too expensive. I was happy with Wok City's prices and offerings. We got an order of chicken wings. I was very skeptical! I expected greasy and fatty but they were surprisingly good. We also ordered House special fried rice, sesame chicken, shrimp with mixed vegetables and won ton soup. All cost $45. I liked how they offered two different sizes for most dishes. I usually like to order different dishes so this makes it more reasonable. Order more than $30 and you get a free can of soda.

Still a rock solid place. Cash only, great spot to get fried rice and any classic dish you could hope for. Some nights better than most. Desarme chicken hasn't let me down yet.
