Everything was amazing. Food, staff, and atmosphere. Great place for a date night or to grab drinks with appetizers. Can't wait to go back this weekend. They also give you fried ice cream at the end. Delicious thank you

Hunan Chicken - very flavorful, spice level was good, chicken was good Mapo Tofu - extremely soft tofu, great taste (if you don't want pork - mention it) A free ice cream at the end is always great :)

Really incredible service! Decided to try this restaurant on a limb given its high Google Maps rating and was not disappointed. Food is great, prices are very reasonable and the hostess came over many times to check on us. Highly recommend for those in the area!

Where do I begin. This restaurant was extremely clean, the staff were very welcoming, and there was plenty of Asian decor spread out to add to the ambiance of the experience. I wanted to try some of the more common items to get a feel for this restaurant. Let's talk about the food! I started with the Hot & Sour soup. Wow!! This was bursting with flavor and had just enough heat that you feel a little tear forming, but not too much heat that you can't enjoy the flavors. Each spoonful was full of the traditional vegetables found in this soup complimented with the little bites of tofu. This was perfect. Will definitely order it again. My next bite after having the soup was the bone in spareribs. They were so tender and flavorful. After my first bite I just reflected thinking that these were right up there with some of the best Will definitely order again. I then moved on to the teriyaki. You could tell that they take their time marinating them. The meat was so flavorful, tender, and had the crisp edges. I don't use a number scale, I will just say they were perfect! Again, I will be back for more. The next bite was the wings. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. They used just the right amount of aromatics that gave them a subtle, yet delicious flavor. I can usually pinpoint the spices. These had me. Would order them again! Then the eggrolls! Plenty of celery and pork with a perfect crunch. These were old school amazing eggrolls. Do I have to say it? Yup, I will eat these again, and again. Lastly, I received a complimentary fried ice cream! The feelings this gave me after my meal is what I equate some people feel when cuddling after relations.. This is by far one of the best places overall that I have been to recently. The menu has traditional Chinese-American dishes, and it also has dishes that are harder to find. I've been told the rice is delicious! They also have a full Japanese sushi menu. The only item not on the menu was the coveted lobster sauce. I highly recommend this restaurant! I will definitely go back! Edit: Have been back multiple times. Food is amazing!!!!! Great Wok in Wellesley!

Such a pleasant place, in my opinion the best Chinese restaurant of the dozen or so in the area now. First, welcoming service. Though we have only visited a few times the server recognized us and thanked us for coming back. Very nice! The room is fresh, clean and pretty, the dishes and glassware attractive and in good order. We ordered luncheon specials. They come with soup, and an appetizer, which is a rarity these days. The portions are generous, the food well seasoned and fresh. You can hear the wok tossing your dishes and the food comes out piping hot. There's a pretty sushi bar, though we haven't had a chance to order there yet. Full bar also. It's handicap accessible. Gluten free diners, vegetarians and children too would eat well here. Take out must be a big business but we liked the dining room. Prices are very reasonable.

We were surprised to find the Great Wok after The Wok was gone for so long. The food was much fresher and better than the Wok. I think the establishment listened to other reviewers as they were friendly, attentive and the food came out quickly. The entrees were prepared well, fresh ingredients and the best local chinese we have had in the suburbs in awhile! We had Spicy Salt & Pepper Shrimp which was lightly breaded and fried perfectly with no extra grease, Schezuan Spicy Beef and Vegetable Fried Rice. Definitely recommend trying it!
