We went to pick it up after calling in the order and picked it up in 10mins. When we got home to eat it was cold, the food was so bland, and felt like it had been sitting for awhile. I do t expect much, but when you pay around $60+ for Chinese food you expect to to be warm and at least taste ok. I will not go back there again. More

Horrible experience do not come here my father asked the cashier what she recommends and she told him well can’t you read the menu is there. Rude!!! Horrible person they should not be in customer service if this is how you treat people. Would give negative stars if I could. Horrible terrible place learn some manners.

Great experience. Very delicious Americanized Chinese food. The food has a lot of different flavors going on. The dining room was nice and clean and the staff was fast and courteous. The prices were terrific for lunch. 24 bucks for 2 of us including beverages. We will return when we are in the area and want Chinese.

Appetizers took longer than soup and Main Course wait staff did not do a good job of busking the table several times. Still the food was tasty even if the beef chow mein had portions of it that were not chewable. I don't like leaving any negative comments so this hurts me as I've gone to this place for years.

What a pity! Ordered from here last week and it was great! So I decided this is my new order spot. Ordered today and while the egg rolls and steamed rice was fine. The orange chicken was so chewy like rubber. I don’t know if it wasn’t cooked enough or overcooked. But I threw it away because it was inedible.

We ordered barbecue pork and got noodles with pork, the meat had a weird smell like petroleum gas, the orange chicken taste like it had been warmed up not freshly done. The noodles were dark . sorry bu I cannot say it was worth the money we paid we’re giving 2 stars for quick delivery

Found this place accidentally and tried it, and they offer tofu vegetarian option of orange chicken that is sensational. Impeccable service and quick delivery by their own delivery drivers. Very considerate of changes to menu items and the food is always delicious. More

Delicious, fresh, healthy, not greasy & big portion for a small price. There's a great & affordable lunch menu 7 days a wk & delivery is quick & your food is delivered piping hot.. Highly recommended if your looking for something delicious, fresh & affordable.

Extremely disappointed, I placed an order. Was told 10-15 min and arrived in 10 min to find out they gave my order to an uber driver because he was Hispanic and I was Hispanic and we both looked alike. since I was already late, I decided to

Last night on Christmas Eve we placed an online order. Then we were sent an email 30 minutes later saying that the food was ready. We showed up and the food was not ready and there were dozens of people waiting for food. After waiting for

Consistently delicious Chinese food! I'm no longer driving to Alhambra for delicious Chinese food. Its right here in the Valley. But "SamWoo" you say? Now a days its hit or miss but their flavor and portions have diminished drastically. I

  • Yoink Time

The food was very very good, but not quite perfect. 1 regular portion was enough for 2 decently hungry people. Our waitress who served us was extremely polite and checked up on us multiple times to see if we needed anything. The food came

  • Monica Arias

Okay, California Wok has officially redeemed themselves with me anyway. Honestly, their taste does not compare to the other Chinese spots that deliver. The WonTon soup is to die for; and when I get all the sauces I ask for-so perfect. The

  • Janice Ramirez

The portion sizes are big enough to feed 2 people per entree. However the flavor just isn't there, the salt level is perfect. But it really lacks flavor, it's like bleh. The protein in each entree is perfect, the veggies are overcooked. I

  • Michael Bernstein

We have driven by this place hundreds of times and never thought to try it. One day we went here with some friends and are so glad we did. The food was incredibly delicious. The five of us ordered plenty of foods and shared them family

  • Richard Aronson

My wife had an appointment across the street so I randomly tried California Wok for lunch. The menu is very large with a very small font, so I had to ask questions which they answered quickly and well. The menu was my only negative. I

These days this place mostly does takeout, but it's also a friendly, and kid-friendly, eat-in. The food is quick, consistent, and reliable tasty ... one of our go-to regular spot when we're in the area. More

  • Daisy Epperson

The food was amazingly delicious! I was in the mood for Chinese food and my friend and I went and it was great. For the amount of food it was $51 and it was worth it to me. I would definitely come back. More

The food was hot and tasty. The server was very pleasant. The atmosphere was nice. Our children were entertained,after their meal with a childrens movie. The prices were great! Definitely recommend it!

  • Robyn Lewis

They made my lunch really quickly since I said I didn't have much time left on my lunch. The crew was very friendly. The noodles were a little bland but I hooked them up when I gor back to work.

Found this restaurant by chance as it was one of the few open on Christmas day and glad we did! The food was really good and the service was exceptional. Will definitely be coming back!! More

  • Sara Rubin

This place is always crowded, and with good reason!! The food is consistently great. Service is fast and thorough. It may take some time to get seated, but it's definitely worth the wait.

  • Judith Gottesfeld

It was Christmas Eve. I ordered online from their website for curbside pickup. I was notified that my order would be ready in 20 min.
