Wok On By has good days and bad. The first two times Ive gone were pretty solid. About medium solid, I would say. But today was pretty weak. I paid ~$8 for honey chicken, rice, and an eggroll. The eggroll was good, the meal itself was not that great, and the fortune cookie was on the verge of going stale. For a meal so packed full of sodium and fat it just came off as bland and didnt really do anything for me. Of course, I went ahead and ate the whole thing anyways. Right now I am currently in the post-meal stage that is equal parts sadness, disappointment, and regret. Im not sure if Ill be able to look at myself in the mirror for at least a few more hours. Did I really need to eat a full meal of Chinese food at 3:31pm? And whats worse is that if I had gone just two minutes sooner I wouldve been able to get a lunch special. So I just really dont know what to do with myself at this point. But if you have a hankering for some Chinese food, just know that by coming to Wok on By you risk showing up one of their bad days. If you dont want to take the risk, and are willing to spend a few dollars extra, try Sushi-Haru (Japanese) or Thai Sweet Basil (Thai). They are just around the corner and directly across from Whole Foods.

Waited 45 mins for cold food, that made us feel nauseous. The fried rice was cooked half way, the peas in it were hard as rocks, honey chicken was cold, wings were soggy(after asking for really crispy ones). Cashier has zero customer service, and doesnt look at you when you talk to her, let alone even answer you half the time. I called to tell them about their poor quality food that we waited 45 damn mins for. She told me to drive back up there to get something different....right... I asked for a refund, she said I would have to drive back up there, and give them their rancid food back for a refund. I just got off a long day of work, waited 45 mins for some of the worst Chinese food ive ever had, and you want me to waste more of my time to deliver this crap back to you? Told her no thanks, I will just contact my credit card company to have them charge back this horrible excuse for Chinese food(which they did np). I dont know if the other reviews are shills, or wok on by was actually good at one point years ago. I am truly amazed theyre still in business.

1st time review - take out - three lunch specials. In white styrofoam box- all food super fresh - still hot when I got home - I live in landolakes- to order was a little difficult cause the lady had strong accent - best chineese food for miles. 4 stars because they forgot my chicken for my chicken low mein on my first experience. But I will still continue to order from here cause the food was fresh and delicious.

Even though they dont deliver we still keep ordering from this place. We usually get the Singapore special, but we like everything else. Food is always steaming hot, freshly prepared and large orders always have a free gift inside. Sometimes its sesame balls other times egg rolls or Rangoon. The staff takes accurate orders and is moving the lines right along.... highly recommended.

Tried to put in a to go order. The employee was so rude as i was putting in my order, I told her to cancel the order and hung up. I called back to speak with a manager and she picked up and hung up on me twice. Had my wife call from her phone. When she asked for a manager she said "There is no manager" and hung up on her. Placed our order elsewhere and will never go back.

all of the food is decent the lady who works behind the counter is miserable the guy usually smiles food is decent so if you can tolerate unpleasant people this is it decent spot to go to on the new I have been there many times and she is always miserable so it is not that shes having a bad day shes having a bad life

Hunan chicken is the best! They do not use low quality meat like many other NY style Chinese takeout restaurants. Fresh meat, fresh veggies, clean restaurant, reasonable prices - you cant beat that. The punny name is also a big plus in my mind :)

Descent food for the $$, however, I have noticed inconsistencies in quality and taste from day-to-day. I do suggest that you take out instead of eating at the restaurant. The restaurant has no A/C and there is no ice for the fountain drinks.

I have to agree with previous reviewer that this place one of the best if not the best NY style takeouts, food is just great for the price and owners went extra mile to make it clean, friendly - feels like you are in East Village
