123 Wok

We took advantage of their delivery service. They lady on the phone is difficult to understand and unfriendly. I ordered the pulled pork and found numerous strands of long hairs embedded in my food (see photo). They should be reviewed by the health department, pronto.

Placed an order online, got a confirmation email! Called an hour later to check and a lady answered and said sorry their is a new owner? Then get calleded us back and said my order was never made and hung up! Are you kidding me, this site is still up with this info and can order online and no one sees it! Get it together, so irritated

The beef lo mein is the only real edible thing here. The white rice is soggy and always tastes like soap. The ONLY reason we still go here on occasion is it's across the street, so easy location. The food is plentiful and fairly cheap, but that's about it.My theory is they have too many choices: American, Hawaiian, and Chinese. If they stuck with one it might not be too bad.

Called because I had been waiting over an hour only to find out they didn't have my order that I placed online. I got an e-mail confirmation, but they said they had no order. Useless to offer ordering online if they don't receive the orders.

I live 1.5 miles away from 123Wok. I placed an order for delivery. They called me back and cancelled my order because they said it wasn't in the 4 mile delivery radius. Not entirely sure what to say about that interpretation of the 4 mile radius.

NON CAHS PAYMENTS? CHECK OR CREDIT CARDS?

I ordered one of the lunch specials that came with roast pork, chicken karaage, noodles, and soup. The soup and noodles were of the average chinese/american fare. The chicken however was exceptionally well done ( as in tasty good, not overcooked). The outside had a perfect crust to it and not overwhelmingly sweet. The chicken itself was tender and downright delicious.So by now you are probably wondering why I gave it a 1 star. Well lets just say that I got real friendly with my friend Mr. Kohler (its a toilet). I know what I ate exactly that gave me that food poisoning, and it was the roast pork. The roast pork was horribly dry and tasted like they literally left it in the fridge for weeks (and half microwaved it) before they decided to serve it. Just looking at it, I knew it was gonna be horrible, but stupid me said to try at least one piece. Well I did, and sure ended up paying for it. The fact that the cooks decided to serve something that visibly looks unsafe to eat gets a 1 star for me.

This place is the bomb! I used to think L & L gave big portions, but this place owns! For $5.05, the mini plates are huge! The chicken katsu is perfectly fried. The fried chicken thighs look like they're from a chicken on steroids. Besides the local style plate lunches, I came here for dinner one evening and had some Chinese food, after all that's what they are. The portions were descent and the variety of Chinese food we ordered were pretty tasty! Pricing can't be beat, either. I'm sold on this place!

I wish I had read the reviews before i ordered from here.. I ordered for delivery and a chinese lady answered, was very rude and i could hardly understand her. I proceeded with my order for the seafood combo and steak plate. I asked the steak to be medium rare. She said ok, you pay cash? I said no, i will use my card. She got all upset and said "next time you use card you tell me, i no ask you.." i said what, and then she repeated it again. I was like OK, you're flier says "please provide credit card for delivery orders". She then repeated my phone number from the caller ID and i said yes that it my number and the driver has to call me becasue he cant get in.. but before i even finished she hung up! So my food came about 45 min which was fine with me. I tasted the bbq chicken and mac salad which was ok, but the shrimp and the steak.. omg! The steak was so hard, overdone, and pretty much drenched with garlic salt.. I couldve thrown that steak at a glass window and the glass would've shattered. I used my own steak knife since the plastic one would obviously break, and I still had a hard time cutting through it. The shrimp was overdone hard as rock, all batter, hardly any shrimp.One review said the owner is the one who answers the phone and if that is true, she is a horrible business owner.. bad food and more importantly, bad customer service! I hope she does see all the reviews here, or one of her employees because she is clueless! The only reason why I gave 1 star is because of the delivery driver, very polite and courteous.

Environment: 2/5Employees: 5/5Food: 5/5Cost: 5/5Parking: 2/5Total: 19/25Synopsis: My friend Kevin doesn't get out much, but he insisted that we try this new Chinese restaurant that took over Papa Johns in town for dinner. I reluctantly said, "Yes" because there are so many other places that are delicious, that he hasn't tried. When you get in, it looks like more of a diner with Chinese signs. The hot pot selections they had were very limited compared to Sweet Home Café, worse it looked OLD! I literally pointed with a nastaaaayyyy look on my face to say, "Kevin...would you eat THAT!?" I thought this was going to foreshadow horror, but to my amazement the dishes I decided was DELICIOUS! Yum! Oddly enough, I would come back here a second time. What was difficult was the parking, due to the limited spacing, but the people were friendly and the cost compared to the amount of food you are offered is TOP reason to come here.Environment: It has a diner look to it, where you would anticipate burgers and fries. This is only if you didn't know any better. If you look at the walls carefully, you will see Chinese art, the white cat for wealth, and of course the round tables. The booths are comfortable to sit on, making it an easy environment to relax.Employees: Nothing noteworthy. They were nice.Food: The portion sizes were ridiculously huge compared to the cost. The food was also displayed on nicely designed plates. :D Awesome! I would recommend not coming here for the hot pot portion! Although I haven't tried it, it is very unsightly.Gaugee: For about $5, we got about 10 pieces. It was typical like any other places, crispy on the outside, delicious meat on the inside. Please dip with sweet and sour sauce! YUM! 5/5Combo plate which included Beef with mixed vegetables, fried chicken, fried pork:1) Beef w/vegetables: Filled with flavor from the sauce was awesome. The vibrant colors from the various vegetables and fungus: snow peas, shitaki mushroom, bamboo, carrots mixed in with the beef. UGH! Delicious! 5/52) Fried chicken: The batter was perfectly done and super crispy. YUM! 5/53) Fried Pork: You cannot screw this up. Chips of fat with meaty/fatty middle pieces. YUM-factor 5/5Walnut Shrimp: I have honestly tasted better in other restaurants. Though it was good, the taste does not override the amount of calories in this dish. 4/5Cost: For everything, it was very cheap for the both of us and it provided extra food. In fact, it lasted for two more meals after this. I do believe, plus tip, it came out to be 20 bucks. It was more food than I had imagined. Luckily for me, sugar daddy paid. "Since you will be poor when you go to college." Big hearts to you.Parking: The space in the area for parking is atrociously small. What furthers the horror of it all is the fact that the limited space is shared between other establishments. I can only imagine the irritation this place can create to deter patrons from coming here.

Going down hill. This has gone from my favorite local delivery, to a bad encounter with angry old Chinese woman and food that could have been made by a 4 year old with a working microwave.The last order of general tsos I got was a thing of fried chicken in one container and some pre-made sauce in a whole different container. It wasnt even prepared as one dish. I might as well have gotten a 20 piece mcnugget and dipped it in some hoisen sauce.Lastly, (I see Evan's review states the same problem) the lady who answers the phone now is rude, quick to hang up, and gets mad if you use your credit card. Don't advertise you accept master and visa if you have an issue. I'll need to be in a severe, desperate, borderline comatose craving before ordering from here anymore. It's been two bad experiences in a row.What the heck happened to this place? Just a couple months apparently makes a world of difference I guess.

We have come here for takeout a few times. It is a decent place to come when you want to bring some spring rolls or chow mein noodles to a potluck or something similar. The food is basic local-style Chinese food. The people are pretty friendly, and that's a plus.

Been here 3 times and all were for takeout orders. The cashier/server was friendly and every time i went it doesn't seem too busy but somehow they are keeping the place alive. Order the broccoli w/ beef and won ton ramen (was sick at the time) and bot were very delicious meal for the price. Its a typical Chinese restaurant and the delivery service, which i didn't use yet, seems to be fairly legit for a free delivery within 4miles.

A bunch of us tried the all-you-can-eat hot pot here, which was decent but significantly lower quality than "other places" nearby. Lamb was good, beef was sketchy (totally unnatural shade of red), loved that they offer seafood options, but the folks I was dining with are seafood-averse. Boo.Don't be put off by the interior design, which is kind of sad at best...but at least it was clean & brightly lit. There's only one lady handling front-of-the-house operations, and she speaks very broken & accented English, unusually difficult to understand her. Also very brusk in her speech & behavior, but it's just your average Chinatown-kine Chinese lady attitude; I didn't think she was rude at all.The biggest surprise & crowd pleaser of the evening was the one person in our party who ordered a regular entree: combination BBQ chicken & chicken katsu. It was a HUGE mound of meat, perectly tasty & practically no fat, with a nice (light & crispy) breading on the katsu. It was only $7 or $8, which was a bargain, considering the quality & quantity!!

This place is horrible! Worst ever Chicken Katsu and BBQ Chix! No sauce given! Chili Dog was horrible! Everything was way below standard.Chicken katsu was 99% batter and fat 1% meat.........threw away 90% of my plate..........straight trash and no pride in the food they serve.

I been ordering here since they opened with great difficulties. They never understand what I am saying when it's the same dish everyday! Last time my beef chow fun came uncooked....My bad for trying to explain!!! Then the language barrier again OMFG??? I told her number 128 beef chowfun and she tells me CHICKEN? over and over she asked chicken...Finally figured out last month they upgraded the menu and didnt tell anyone.. WOWOWOWOW then the manager gets on to ask me over and over "u want order or no order".

I give it three stars as the food is good but not spectacular I got the Crispy Gau Gee Min and it was good decent amount of vegetables and everything including 4 Crispy Gau Gee even the amount of food is decent so it's a good place to go when you are in the area. I haven't tried the hot pot meals but it looks good there. The service was pretty quick but the parking is strange the parking in front says 15 minutes and everything else seemed to be reserved so what do you do? I just parked in front so I could see my car and went in so I suppose it's okay...I'll come back again unless my the decide a bit more than 15 minutes is not okay :-)

THE WORST FOOD ROTTEN WHEN IT ARRIVED 1 HR LATEWILL NEVER ORDER AGAIN

Lunch Specials and Dinner Specials leave few options to the customer as they were on the old menu. I am going to another restaurant for delivery now. BTW: Your delivery boys are great! LOUD MUSIC ON WEBSITE IS VERY AMATEUR. Goodbye

I loved ordering the lunch and dinner specials as they used to be on the old menu. Ever since you applied the new menu there are too many restrictions. As for the website, LOUD MUSIC on your website, in my opinion, is very amateur and annoying. It is not something people like when they are at home and especially at work when opening a webpage. I have stopped going to Hy's Restaurant because of this same reason. I really loved your food but refuse to order with so many new restrictions. There are so many other food options so close to Waikiki that it's a shame to push away regular customers. Thank you for allowing me to order the old menu several months ago, one last time, just after your change. Your delivery drivers are incredible and professional! Goodbye

Tried to locate the menu on IPAD and none of the clickable headings show up. Went to the same website on my laptop and it is fine. You need to fix this for IPAD or IPHONE users.

your menu does not work anymore. please let us know when it is fixed

I wonder if 123wok is owned by the same people who run California Wok, opened 2000 at Ala Moana Center? Names, menus and prices are all very similar.
