great food terrible service - Edit

Second time we eat here. Nice option if you are looking for healthy vegan food
But the food isn't good as loving hut or sweet lemon.
Especially if you take the service into account

Astounding Cuisine - Edit

The food and cooking are amazing. All vegans have got to give this place a try for its appeal to taste buds. Maybe the best vegan restaurant in Portland. Be sure to try the shrimp appetizer and the sweet and sour chicken (mock shrimp and chicken, of course.

Pros: Astounding cuisine, Efficient and friendly service, Large selection of dishes

Great food. - Edit

My wife and I visit Portland every few months and we try and visit a new restaurant each time. This time we decided to try the Green Wok and we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely amazing. The only real complaint is that a lot of the food was fried but it is Chinese fare so that is to be expected. Loved it and will return again in the future.

Pros: great taste, nice atmosphere

Cons: lots of fried choices

Green Wok - Edit

I had read about this place on happycow, and here's my Green Wok review.

I didn't find the restaurant at their usual location. I found their booth at Portland's annual VegFest, at the Convention Center.

The staff was offering several sample sizes of their dishes, including a soft tofu in a sweet and sour sauce(very good), a kung pao beef (salty and not so interesting to me), and orange flavor vege chicken (that my friend's daughter loved).

The staff running this operation was a friendly Asian family. I would definitely try the food from Green Wok again.

Family-Run Vegan Chinese - Edit

It's heavy, standard vegan Chinese food, and sometimes that is perfect, right? I really liked the staff as well--super nice. I would prefer to give it 3 1/2 cows.

Pros: heavy greasy Chinese, great staff

Cons: heavy greasy Chinese!

Guess I had a different view... - Edit

Hate to be a downer, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. I went to Green Wok with high expectations, and got back some pretty average fare. The orange chicken was OK, but not nearly spicy enough for its type, and the orange peels were burnt rather than well done. The sauteed broccoli was cold and not at all interesting, and the sweet and sour chicken was boring. Hardly a great example of what Asian vegan cooking should be about, and certainly not Portland's best option (Bay Leaf was a much better call)

Pros: good value

EXCELLENT / AWESOME - Edit

EXCELLENT / AWESOME vegetarian food... 1st time ever feel the "Wok Feel" sine 1999. If you are a Chinese, you know what I talk about. I had the Tofu hotpot, Fry eggplant and sizzling veggie chicken ...I definitely will go again.

If you love Vegetarian House, try Green Wok!! - Edit

The food here is absolutely amazing - it is so well worth the drive out there! The staff is courteous, and the BEST part is how down to Earth they are. The greet you and make you feel like you're actually welcome there, as opposed to feeling like you just committed some party foul. The prices are very reasonable. Never very crowded, I don't think anyone really knows about this place which works well for us, no reservations needed. :)

Pros: GREAT FOOD, COOL STAFF, GOOD PRICES

Cons: A SMALL TREK BUT WORTH IT, EASY TO OVER EAT
