We used to live in Santa Cruz and would make the short but out of the way drive to Felton just to eat here. Honestly, the best Chinese food I found in Santa Cruz! Fresh/quality ingredients, yummy and family owned by a super sweet family! Writing this review from San Francisco, where we recently moved to because I'm craving IWok! Even with the plentiful options here, I still reminisce about the crispy chicken, delicious veggie rice, chow fun, crab rangoons and more!!

Authentic Chinese Food right around the corner Indulge in authentic Chinese food in an unexpected location. Amidst a town with minimal Asian influence, this restaurant shines as a hidden gem. We had (1) Hot & Sour Soup, (2) Kung Pao with Crispy Chicken and (3) Kung Pan Stir Fry with Eggplant. The soup's hotness came from ginger and bamboo shoots and black fungus gave nice texture. Both Crispy and Stay Fry Kung Pan are cooked with very authentic sauces, elevating flavor of buttery eggplants and crispy and tender chicken. As someone who usually seeks out authentic Asian food in San Jose, finding this spot nearby is a delightful surprise.

Best Chinese food I have ever had. Potstickers were amazing and so was the fried rice. Please give this place a try!!

My boyfriend and I had the Singapore style glass noodles with beef. The meal tasted alright (the bites of beef were tougher to enjoy than the noodle portion) but we almost immediately had stomach aches that lasted well into the next day. Something was definitely off to a degree where we likely won't return to try anything else. Bummer, thought we were gonna love this place.

Tonight, we had a power outage, so my son got Chinese take-out at I Wok Bistro in Felton! We were so looking forward to a nice hot meal!!! We were horrified at the desiccated, tough lemon chicken and watery rice! The chicken was so dry that I feared I would choke and threw it out immediately!!! It was not even fit for my dog! What a bad experience and a waste of money!

This was not a cheap meal but what I received was a really cheap and lazy version of what they're saying they offer.The owners seemed nice. They were having their lunch with the family when I arrived which made the restaurant feel more cozy. But the food was not what I thought I was getting.I looked through the photos from previous reviews so I could order based on the ingredients that I could see they actually put in the dish, in addition to what the menu said.I decided on the Mongolian Beef after seeing a photo of it from another customer. It was filled with green onions and beef. I ordered this option because while American Chinese isn't your go-to for veg, I figured the amount of green onions would be enough to satisfy some of my nutritional needs. All I received was a pile of yellow onions and beef, even though the menu says it includes scallions (which often is the translation for green onions or spring onions), chilies, and onions. Additionally, the picture on their menu shows the dish including these items.Next I ordered the Chow Fun with veggies as my addition. This is a very simple dish with noodles, onions, and cabbage plus your additional item. My additional veggies were 3 pieces of broccoli... Not big pieces. one 2 medium pieces and 1 small. I don't think this justifies as the vegetable(S) addition for my entree.I know it's my personal preference to want vegetables as a part of my meal. It's possible that the regulars of i Wok don't really want vegetables with their dishes, and for the owners to adjust to this, is just smart business. But then take it off the menu. It's very disappointing for someone who is looking to come to your restaurant for the first time, and doesn't really get what they order.

Very to easy to call and order. They said no MSG. We ordered vegetable spring rolls they would've been good if they were hot, white rice that was good the chicken chow main , I've never seen noodles look like that. The stirfry beef vegetable I think was the only thing made fresh. the orange chicken was flavorless very dry, cold. I am thankfully to be able to buy food but I don't like wasting my money on cold dry food.

I always try and give the mom and pop shops a chance. I did and was sorry. Based off the food I recieved to go. I attempted to eat these within ten minutes of recieving my food. I ordered salt and pepper chicken wings and chicken chow fun. The chicken wings/drums were small, over cooked and crammed into a togo box which made them no longer crispy. The chow fun was also over cooked and chopped up so they no longer resembled noodles. They lacked flavor and only had tiny bit of chopped up slivers of chicken and cabbage. Waste of money. I would have rather spent my money else where. The only thing that was good was the coconut water drink I ordered, which isn't made by this restaurant. I cannot imagine what the rest of the food is like... maybe different if I ate in the restaurant but idk.. it was pretty dead inside.. to a point where they had to turn on the indoor lights when I came in to order. I will look for chinese food elsewhere. Oh, and the bathroom seemed like it flooded or something. Everything inside was wet, the toilet paper, the whole toilet and even the toilet covers. No paper towel and soap. I had to take time to wipe things down along with holding up my pant legs as I really needed to use it as I waited for my food... which was a big disappointment.

The worst Chinese restaurant Ive ever been to ! The sauces they use on the food tasted burned. The oil they used on the rice tasted like old recycled oil previously used. The trays they used to served the food were dirty. I will never return to this place again. Im surprised its still

I dined in at a time when the lunch rush was over. I was with my friend and we were served in less than 10 minutes. Food was fresh, the staff was very kind and hospitable. The portions were more than enough for the price.Parking: Parking lot is always open. Easy entrance off the street. Lots of shade trees.Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is seamlessly connected to parking lot. Seating is tight, but definitely enough space for wheelchairs.

Food is always good and the people that help are always so nice. Perfect for grabbing dinner on your way home so the Mrs. Or the mister can take the night off from cooking. I would give 5 stars on the food, but it seems that it food is not quite as fresh if you go too late. But still good.

Delicious hot food. Yummy prices of chicken in the rice. Fresh and so tasty. A lot of times the meat from Chinese restaurants is not so good looking or tasting but this was fantastic.Parking: Lots of parking spots easy to get a spot
