Pots N Woks - Whittier

I've been tracking a woks on instagram for a long time, regrettably, finally tasting the vegan dishes. I feel like plant-based eaters are so eager for options that we see that any option is a present. this place is not this gift. it had less vegan options than the menu promised and the service was less than friendly. I got the vegan orange huh and the vegan kung pao; both more tasteless and disappointing...and expensive. it was $17 for the combo for the take-out! it is a scandal that places like bodhi lunar firm 't survive the pandemic and that is what we have left. I guess if companies offer vegan options; it is imperative, but that these options are satisfied. eating was really in comparison to one of the countless hot cases, strip-mall, almost food, Chinese take-out compounds. To be honest, the beyond huh at panda express is far superior.

This place gives me life. No it’s not all vegan but they are serving all the things I remember getting at my local takeaway as a kid. It’s flavoured just right. Honestly if you’re missing Chinese food as a vegan or vegetarian this is the place to eat. My favourite was the broccoli “beef.” Updated from previous review on 2021-08-29

This was our first time here and we drove from Yucaipa which is about 1hr with no traffic. Thank goodness we went on a Sunday so we were lucky. We ordered the Vegan Orange Chicken and the Vegan Broccoli Beef and a plate of Vegan Chow Mein. It was about $50 and the portions are large enough that we were able to get 2 full meals out of it. We had a few bites before heading home to taste it warm and fresh. It held up pretty well. Can’t wait to try more dishes next time we are in the area. Updated from previous review on 2021-05-26

I was scrolling through youtube and saw a review on this place and immediately sent Buttercup the menu and made dinner plans I had to try. We decide what we want, and get in the car. about 1/2 way to Whittier we try to call in our order and the recording says they are only taking walk in orders. That makes sense it was 6:00 on a Saturday night. So we drive there and the plan is to order Shrimp Fried Rice, Orange Chik'n and Spicy Garlic Chik'n it seemed like we couldn't order combo plates. Well I get to the front of the line and they ask if I want combo I panic and say yes. So my Panic Order ended up being 3 combos Rice and Chowmien with: Orange Chik'n, Kung Pow Chik'n and Mongolian Beef I almost forgot 2 Chinese Buns. It came to like $52 so this place is not cheap but the portions were huge. In hindsight I wish I had stuck to my original order the amount of carbs compared to main dish was not proportional to he cost of the food. The order took about 1/2 to be ready they make all vegan items fresh, and they are worth the wait. The main dishes were really good, especially the Orange Chik'n. It was not overly sweet like so many vegan places make it. it had a really good crisp bit to it. This had to be my favorite the followed by the BBQ Pork Bun. There was so much food I actually didn't eat that till the next day when I steamed it for Breakfast don't judge me hahaha it is a perfect breakfast food. The bun was filing a little sweet and the filling was flavorful and had some great seasoning. The beef and the spicy chik'n were great no complaints, but when I go back I will just get the Bun and the Orange Chik'n. The staff was efficient were hustling to take care of the socially distanced line out the door. Updated from previous review on 2021 03 16

Delicious as always but waited 36 mins for our food this last time. Huge portions and probably my favorite vegan Chinese food. It’s worth it if you aren’t in a rush!
