Good food: Fresh!!! The fish is baked in a soy sauce on the bottom so it doesn't overwhelm with too much salt. The soups are good. Watermelon fresh!
The dishes are switched out in a timely manner-good as you always desire a fresh and tasty meal!
Aaron, the waiter, checked on us and cleared the empty dishes and refilled tea and water as soon as it was needed!
Great service! This always makes a meal tastes better! -

Wasn't expecting an outstanding place since I'm from California and Chinese places out there pretty much have to meet a standard to survive, even Americanized Chinese food. But gave it a shot based on reviews.
First of all, the place is clean. It's a welcoming atmosphere, the staff is attentive, and you're greeted with a smile immediately after passing through the doors. I have no complaints at all here.
Food: their downfall. It's not Japanese, so I'm not expecting amazing sushi, but i tried one roll from a few options and I'm now going to hard pass on sushi here. Spring rolls were meh. Potstickers were gross. Crab and cream cheese rangoons were stale.
At this point, I'm kinda feeling over it. But second plate had rice noodles, General Chow [sic] chicken, orange chicken, and sweet and sour chicken. I'll pass on General Chow and rice noodles were okay. Orange chicken though was good. Not just the flavor, but the crispiness of the breading was perfect. Same goes for the sweet and sour chicken which was my favorite. If i could just order that alone, I'd be down.
So, service is great, place is clean, staff is friendly, and they know how to work the fryer. That sums it up. -

Went to try this place out for 1st time I ordered through drive thru 1 entree $8 plus I wanted an extra entree additional $2 Lomein noodles were delicious. I ordered chicken mushroom and plate had 75% mushroom and 25% chicken. Extra side entree of orange chicken was so not worth it $2.00 for practically all breading. Paid $11 for drive thru next time would like to give another try but definitely going to get down and pay $1 more and try everything else.

Tings Wok is a buffet style Chinese restaurant. It's average in taste and not as good as Chinese restaurants where you order things a la carte. However, their service does stand out.
Their selection includes sweet and sour chicken, teriyaki chicken, jalapeño chicken, white and fried rice. They have much more, but those are my go-to meals. Dinning in, you are treated very well. The times I've gone during business lunch hours, it's rarely packed. They do charge you before you eat, which is usually the opposite of most restaurant's, so be aware of that. However, you can go preview the items before you decide to commit.
Today, I used the drive thru. I placed an order for combo fried rice (fried rice with shrimp, beef, and chicken) with no vegetables. This is not the same fried rice in the buffet area. It is made on the spot. You can add a small side portion of a meat for 1 dollar. I always choose the sweet and sour chicken with no sauce. Surprisingly, they don't take long in making it on the spot and the serving could easily feed 4 people (or two very hungry ones). Try the combo fried rice. You won't be disappointed. -

Tbh, one of the worse service I've ever had. Had to get up twice to get a refill and then had to get up a third tine to get napkins and the place wasn't packed at all. Food was good. Sushi was below average. Small variety compared to other Chinese buffets.
