Hungry now happy - Edit
Happy Cow guided is to a wonderful restaurant. We were met quickly at the door with menus. Cheerful staffer guided us to popular options. Meals were ready when promised and enjoyed in the one shady parking spot.

Food was good but lacking veggies - Edit
My family and I got take out from this place. We tried the General Tso chicken, the ribs and the steak. The General Tso was all vegan chicken and about 6 pieces of broccoli (no enough!) and the streak was the opposite 6 pieces of steak and the rest of plate full with veggies. All delicious just not the right proportions.
Read morePros: All vegan, Many options of vegan meats, Clean food, not oily
Cons: Lacked a nice proportion of vegan meat & veggies

Wonderful Contactless Experience! - Edit
We ordered here during COVID-19 and it is the best take away experience I’ve had this year. The staff is so nice and caring, even to non-vegans. The food was ready in 15 minutes and came out piping hot. Everything we got was so delicious, and we will definitely be going back!! My dad (non-vegan) even enjoyed the spring rolls, fried wontons, and the Chickn Lo Mein. I’m so glad that we finally got to try out this local business and I look forward to trying something new from the menu next time 💕
Read morePros: So many “meat” options, Great tastes and super fresh, Great customer service

Absolutely delicious! - Edit
I didn’t think I would eat Chinese take out ever again since going vegan. This place exceeded my expectations. Even my non-vegan family enjoyed it. The general tso is my favorite. Can’t wait to go back ☺️

Great Spot - Edit
We were really happy to find Ma Ma Wok while visiting the area for work. It was about 5min from our hotel.
Read moreRecommendation: Thai tea and Spicy orange 'chicken' (not too spicy)
We tried several dishes but enjoyed the spicy orange chicken most.
The faux meats are quite good. We really liked the 'chicken' in the spicy orange chicken. We also got the sesame 'chicken' which was a bit rubbery. It was fried and we weren't a huge fan of the sauce.
We found the Lo Mein to be just okay and the chicken and broccoli to be lacking flavor.
We didn't really like the pork buns. The bun dough was a bit off.
The Thai tea was pretty amazing.
We saw some reviews referencing salt and pepper king oyster mushrooms which we wanted to try but didn't see it on the menu.
The food was prepared quickly and came quickly.
The staff was super professional. They repeated our order for accuracy which is always appreciated and great customer service. They also had contact less pick up set up and the staff were wearing masks.
They provided us with forks but no chopsticks 🥢 so check your order if you prefer chopsticks.
There was plenty of parking as it was in a strip mall area with a large parking lot for several shops.
There is also a donut shop two doors down that had vegan and gluten free donuts advertised.
Overall we were really happy to fins this vegan restaurant. We found some dishes to be exceptional and others not so much.
Pros: Spicy orange chicken , Thai tea, Staff repeated our order for accuracy 👍🏿

So delicious! - Edit
So glad I found this place! I missed Chinese food so bad and this place has most of what other Chinese restaurants offer but veganized. The food is so delicious. Staff is friendly and restaurant is clean with good atmosphere. Prices are affordable. Highly recommend.

Amazingly good - Edit
We will drive significantly out of our way to visit here when we are traveling anywhere near Charlotte. It is a traditional Chinese restaurant with an expansive menu, but totally vegan! All of the dishes we have tried have been delicious, especially the orange peel 'chicken' and fried wontons. They have many different mock meats including chicken, beef, pork, and fish. I can't wait to go back.

Delicious! - Edit
My father and I ate here on a whim - I'm vegan, he isn't - and were thoroughly impressed by the offerings. I got the Thai tea and flower "chicken", he got Singapore mei fun with tofu, and we shared an order of salt and pepper king oyster mushrooms. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I was startled by how much like poultry the vegan chicken tasted and felt. It was a little unnerving, because I've been veg for a long time and am not used to meat textures, but impressive and delicious nonetheless! I'll definitely be going again when I'm nearby.

Vegan Chinese Restaurant! - Edit
Deep in the heart of Carolina BBQ country is an absolute treat for vegans, an all vegan Chinese restaurant. It's so all so good and has that deep variety of dishes you expect at your regular Chinese restaurants. The dishes are very creative and presented beautifully. The good is delicious enough that your meat eating friends won't complain.
Read morePros: Wide variety of classic choices , Reasonable prices
Cons: The ordering menu could be designed better.

Tasty - Edit
The ma ma special soup is delicious. I also liked the wontons and ribs. My only suggestion is that the food could use a little more spice and heat but that’s a personal preference

Must go! - Edit
So I was there a few years ago and got my vegan dish that I loved and the owner asked me to sit down with her to show me what their new veg menu would likely be.
Read moreWe talked for a while, she listened to all my feedback. Two weeks later they made the switch! I love going in there and seeing giant construction workers enjoying a veg meal. Everything I’ve had was phenomenal!
Sadly, I moved to Sweden about a month after they made the switch.

Amazing vegan meat! - Edit
Great authentic vegan Chinese restaurant. The staff was very nice and friendly. Their vegan meat was amazing! I had the house Mei Fun that had vegan shrimp, chicken, beef and ham. Amazing texture and flavor. My husband had the Salt and Pepper Ribs. They were so good as well! Can't wait to try more of their menu items!

Delicious Excellence - Edit
Great Chinese food with a good atmosphere in a good neighborhood. The restaurant is totally vegan and delicious! We loved the General Tao chicken, potstickers, fish, and potato curry. Everything is very fresh and the service is outstanding. We wished we lived closer but will make this our go to spot when in the Charlotte area.

Incredible food, 100% vegan and 100% delicious - Edit
Ma Ma Wok went 100% vegan recently so we wanted to support them. I haven’t really had decent Asian food since going vegan, and this has quickly become my favorite vegan spot in Charlotte. The restaurant is small and quaint, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Everything I’ve tried so far has been amazing, and their vegan meats are insanely good. The General Tso’s veg meat, chicken lo mein, chicken drumsticks, and hot and sour soup are absolutely incredible. Before you go, make sure to order some Chinese donuts ❤️

Unbelievably Amazing! - Edit
Just when I thought we would never have Chinese food again after becoming vegan we ran into this place visiting Charlotte! I’m so sad we live 2 1/2 hours away because this place is wonderful! Extremely friendly people with amazing food! The house fried rice was so flavorful and the Thai tea was better than any Thai tea I’ve had in the past! There were so many options to choose from and everything we tried was just truly amazing! I will drive 2 1/2 hours just to have this food again!

Vegan Chinese - Edit
So thankful for this place...since moving from NYC by way of LA, I was really missing my vegan Asian spots. This place is a gem...I can come here and not have to worry about any fish sauce or equipment shared with dead animal flesh. They pretty much have all of the Chinese options that you’d find at a non vegan establishment but without the cruelty.

Amazing Food! - Edit
Love coming here and enjoying a good Plant based meal. My favorite is the Curry Konjac. Hope I'm spelling it right, but it's amazing. I didnt know what it was, until I ordered it. I have eaten at this place 5 times and have not been disappointed. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous.

Very good food, very nice staff - Edit
What can I say. They were awesome. I showed up and asked for a request they didn't even have on the menu. With a slight up charge they were able to get it done. The food is spot on, and preparation is quick.

Loved It! - Edit
I loved having vegan versions of food I hadn’t tasted in years! I got the sesame chicken which my non-vegan husband said was scary accurate 😂. He had the house lo mein... also delicious! He’s picky about vegan food so it’s saying something if he enjoyed it. We regretted going to a different vegan restaurant for lunch the next day and said we should’ve gone back for more Chinese.
