👍 Came for lunch and was able to walk right in to order. The portions were large and the generous. The food was good and I would recommend this for anyone looking for an alternative to Panda Express. People often mention chicken, good, Chinese, orange, beef, rice, broccoli,

    Generous portions, okay flavor... My girlfriend and I have been looking for a local Chinese food spot and Wok In Kitchen nearly fits the bill. We enjoy supporting local business and appreciate the generous portions served. The only drawback I have is the food quality seems to hit or miss. We went the other day and the orange chicken was fantastic but the spicy chicken was mehh. I hope it was just a bad batch of spicy chicken because the level of quality seemed so different. One entre was super good and the other was lacking. We will go again and I will update if there is any further news. I would go back as it stands 👌

    Hands down my favorite Chinese food place. The portions are great, their noodles & rangoons are my favorite compared to other places. I tried out a different spot recently and regretted not coming to Wok In Kitchen. The lady that always works there always greets with a smile.

    Always homeless hanging around. I wanted to stop in and get some snack in the evening, but it’s too scary.. I wish they would call security to get them out of the shopping center.

    They are so nice here, and the food is the best "steam table" style Chinese food in Riverside. My family and I have been coming here since right after it opened.

    They give you a very generous amount of food, i'd say just get the plate and share half of it with your friend or partner, the bbq beef didnt have the amazing flavor i was expecting, i got the bbq beef freshly made aswell, rice and ramen are great and the teryaki chicken and orange chicken is both good, id give a 3.5 out of 5 stars

  • 1/5 Cass S. 1 year ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Food was decent . About what you would expect but the girl up front who took my orders was so dang rude , I asked her what the cup prices were bc I couldn’t see them bc I’m PARTIALLY BLIND in 1 eye and the girl wouldn’t tell me !?? She just kept pointing at the cups I had to ask 2 times . Then she would even hand me my change . To the lady in font of me she said “are you gonna tell me the size you want or not “ .it’s not our fault she hates her job !!! Up date : she gave me all broccoli NO beef 🤣

    I was pleasantly surprised by this place and have been back a few times. Both of my favorite fast food Chinese places changed management so I have been on the lookout for someplace new. Today I went at 7:30 and got fried rice, chow mein, house chicken, spicy orange chicken, and broccoli beef. The house chicken tastes like comfort food to me and I think the potato in it complements the flavor. The spicy orange chicken was nice and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. I also didn't have the problem other people talked about for the broccoli beef - mine had a good mix of both beef and broccoli. The chow mein and rice both tasted good. I will be back when the next craving hits 🙂

    First time meeting the owner of this place and he was TERRIBLE!! Asked him about the serving size because it different than what I've gotten in the past and he started getting defensive and I was trying to just explain to him that I've never had a small serving size like the one he gave me before. So he asked which worker I told him the 2 ladies that I've only encountered here and he kept denying it and I explained that I was just trying to tell him that I've never had that type of serving size then he got argumentative and so I just explained to him I don't want the plates anymore especially if I'll be talked to like this when I was just telling him about the serving size smh. I'm glad I turned the plates away cuz this spot has been going downhill for a while now smh. It makes me miss the Mr. Wok in Diamond Bar that I used to go to a lot when I lived on that side. Living in Riverside can't find any good Chinese spots smh

    Portions are bigger than Panda Express and for less money. I suggest getting the crispy chicken. It has a cherry type sauce on it served with bell peppers and onions. Very good. We haven’t been here in over a year cause we did have a bad experience but we gave it another try and I’m glad we did. We spend $22 for 2 adults and 2 kids.

    It was my first time to come here.. I love the Spicy Orange Chicken and Spicy Chicken with Jalapeños ❤ Great service!

  • 3/5 Desiree G. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited in the evening time a two item combo plate with beef broccoli.. got mostly broccoli.. disappointing but I wasn't surprised. The sweet and sour soup was good but next time I'll be ordering teriyaki chicken so I know I'm getting the protein I'm paying for.

    The lady was rude which it wasn’t even a problem until she was rushing my order , the chow mien was Luke warm , like it was reheated . The rice the same . Black pepper chicken was doughy . It was horrible . I must say .

    Just came from this place and they gave me spoiled rice😭. The taste was old and it took me a while to smell it but it’s spoiled.
