City Wok is a great inexpensive place with delicious food! My favorite things to order are the chinese chicken salad and the chicken pot stickers. Good fast service and simple basic atmosphere. More...

I was driving around looking for something to eat the other day when I came across City Wok.At first I thought the name was hilarious because if you watch South Park, they make fun of a restaurant with the same name because when the Asian guy says it, it sounds like "Shitty Wok" lol So I came in to check it out and I was not disappointed. I ordered the BBQ Pork Chow Mein and though it was not at all how I expected, it was amazing. Then I tried a few of their other dishes and they were all just as good. Needless to say, this is my new favorite spot and I regularly drive a 40 min round trip from my home just to get their delicious food. More...

It can definitely get a bit busy. When this happens, the cashier's aren't the most engaging; BUT the green beans more than make up for it. My go to is the green beans and city wok chicken. I recently dined in, and the service felt top notch. Highly recommend. More...

Always good local option when I'm not trying to cook. A little speedy for takeout but the portions are pretty big and the food is super tasty. I've never eaten in the restaurant but the staff are super sweet and helpful on the phone and when we pickup our orders. Definitely recommend the Kung Pao Chicken and the City Wall Chicken. I usually get a full order and it lasts me for two meals. More...

Ok, so I realized this was posted in 2011 and things change. At the time I hadn't realized we get a Studio discount which is awesome.  Did you know they have an email newsletter and they send out birthday coupons and holiday specials and stuff?  If you didn't then you will know now.I've been going there every few months since then especially with my coworkers.  Their service is always top notch and their servers make an effort to place your orders.  If you speak up, they will replace your items as needed.  Then again, to be fair, I've gone during lunch so I've ordered both Lunch and Non-Lunch specials, but if you know which specific items to order, then it will be worth your money.  They're not too terribly expensive, but most of their items are also shareable, so this makes it worthwhile. The place is usually well-kept and clean... what more could I ask for? More...

I dined and took out many times. It hit and miss, depending on a dish. Prices little higher than usual Chinese places, most of the times food is delicious. Friendly staff. This restaurant has been around for a long time. More...

Visited late at night and our server was super nice and attentive, food came fast and everyone loved their meal, My kid loves their Orange flavored chicken, I ordered the Chinese chicken salad and my hubs the Firecracker shrimp. The Chinese chicken salad was huge, with plenty of chicken and I loved the dressing and wontons, it was cold and not soggy. The Firecracker shrimp was really good, spicy and sweet, shrimp were cooked perfectly and well coated with the sauce. Broccoli was warm and al dente and looking vibrant green. Taking one star because, a few days later when I ordered the same items for pick up, the kid's meal only option for a drink was a kid juice box, even though you do get a fountain drink when you dine-in.

There are advantages eating in places that are busy, fresher produce for one, City Wok is busy. Overall, their food is good, not sure if there is better in the local desert. Large portions and if you order for delivery, you get a wide variety of condiments. Most dishes are less greasy then others locally. The spicy green beans are worth ordering. More...

Love this place it never disappoints. Food is always hot and delicious. I live in Simi Valley so it's a 35 minute drive for me to get here but it's been worth my drive every time I have visited. I have been coming here ever since my friend Mo that used to work here invited me to eat here once and now it's my favorite Chinese spot 3 years later. I recommend the City Chicken, Chow mein, Shrimp in lobster sauce. You can get white meat chicken instead of dark for a small extra charge.I don't recommend the Pad Thai! More...

Have been to this place often about 15 years ago and recalled they had good food so decided to visit before a meeting in Woodland Hills. Wanted to eat fried rice but told it was a big portion so ordered side fried rice with BBQ pork and Kung Pao Shrimp. The portion was great. As it has been, the food was great and price was decent. It is in a mall complex so parking won't be problem. More...

We stumbled in this place looking for something quick to eat.  We ordered the monthly special for $10 and the portions were very large.  The special came with Chinese chicken salad, cashew chicken, rice, and chicken wontons.  The food was good and filling. We had to take home leftovers.  I would definitely return.  The atmosphere was friendly and the patrons were diverse.  I would recommend it for a fast sit down restaurant.  They also have take out.
