Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 AM–10 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (903) 630-1081. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is burningwokusa.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

With 3.6 out of 5 on Google from 126 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for chinese restaurants in Tyler. Recent reviews are the best guide.

Tyler is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Tyler follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

We went through the drive thru. We ordered crab rangoon, Hunan beef, and Mongolian beef. I should have just taken that $30 and thrown it in the garbage. The crab rangoon was as tough as shoe leather, tasted like dirty oil, and had almost no filling in it. The entrees were inedible. There was an up charge for ordering beef--- and if you looked closely, you could find a few stray pieces of beef floating in the overly salty brown gravy amidst a few veggies.. The majority of the dish consisted of 2 generous scoops rice that they call fried rice. The fried rice was plain boiled rice bathed in salt and soy sauce --- no egg, veggies, and it certainly was not fried. Do yourself a favor-- skip this place.

I ordered the orange chicken I believe it's e2 on the menu. My order was placed with ease and the drive thru cashier was very pleasant. My food took about 6 mins and when I arrived home it was fresh, hot and tasted delicious. Portion size is enough for 2 servings which is a plus for left overs later. I will say that the looks are pretty basic but I added 2 sides of chili oil and the flavor was very good, not too saucy and the chicken wasn't greasy as I've come across at other restaurants. Highly recommend this place.

I ate in here before they redone it and the food was amazing. Actually, I ate it in there 4-5 months ago and it was delicious but now they hardly give you any meat and the sauce taste terrible. One was broccoli and beef and One was broccoli, beef and shrimp and it had maybe three shrimp

Delicious, hot, fresh and quick. I had the Spicy Mongolian shrimp with added onions, carrots, cabbage, broccoli and green onions! Sauce was delicious and the vegetables were cooked just right. A huge serving with brown rice and two crispy egg rolls. So much, I shared with my husband and it was only $ 23.00 with tip. Keep fixing everything the same way. Truly a treat!!

I was craving some Chinese food and I particularly wanted to try a place I’ve never had before. I checked my list of new restaurants/places I’ve never visited and settled on the Burning Wok. I quickly hit up the drive thru and made my way back home. I ordered chicken lo mein with no veggies, fried chicken dumplings, and a single chicken egg roll. For the price and the amount of food I got (specifically the chicken lo mein) I guess I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was. I was pleasantly surprised though. The chicken was tender and the noodles were cooked just right. All together they had a great flavor and I didn’t even have to add soy sauce. I ate quite a bit and it looks like I didn’t even put a dent in it. 2 people could easily split that meal for under $10, which is crazy these days. The chicken dumplings were also delicious!!! They were full of flavor without the need for the dipping sauce. Although I still tried it and found it to be good as well. The chicken egg roll (spring roll) was a slightly different story. Although it wasn’t bad at all, I thought it was a bit on the smaller side for the $2 price tag. It definitely has the wrapper and size of a typical spring
