" I visited On Lok expecting a nostalgic experience, and while the food was good, I found the atmosphere quite chaotic. The wonton noodle soup had great flavor, but I think the portions could have been a bit more generous for what I paid. The service was okay; they got my order right but weren't particularly welcoming. Overall, it's worth a try, but don't expect a cozy dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't get what the fuss is about On Lok... The food was decent but definitely not the best Chinese food I've had. The place had a very diner-like quality, which could be charming if it wasn't for the sticky tables and lack of attention from the staff. On the plus side, the wontons were tasty, but I think there are better options out there. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has been coming to On Lok for over 30 years, and it remains our go-to spot for Chinese food. The wontons are freshly made, which is something that keeps us returning. The service can be hit or miss; sometimes, the staff are friendly, and at other times, they come off as a bit curt. The atmosphere isn't fancy, and there's always a bit of noise, but it's a part of the charm. If you're looking for authentic Chinese comfort food, this is your place! " (*Curated Review*)

" On Lok really brings back memories! The wonton soup is almost a tradition for my family. I find their prices reasonable, especially when you consider the quality of their food. The dining area could use a refresh, and the service tends to be a bit rough around the edges, but you can't beat the flavors! It’s worth visiting for a taste of the past! " (*Curated Review*)

" On Lok stands out to me because of its history and genuine Chinese flavors. Although the restaurant looks quite worn down, the food is always top-notch. Tried their spicy beef with broccoli, and it was packed with flavor! The portions are generous, making it worthwhile. That said, service could improve; it's often a bit rushed. Still, I respect the authenticity they bring to their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was quite disappointed. While I heard great things about On Lok’s wonton soup, I found it a little underwhelming in taste. The service was passable, but the atmosphere felt more like a diner than a restaurant. Maybe it was an off day, but I probably won’t be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, the portions here are enormous! I had the BBQ pork on rice, and it was so filling. The flavors were delightful, and even though the setting is basic, the food speaks for itself. I appreciated the prompt service, too, even if they weren't overly chatty. A great find for those who want hearty and authentic Chinese food without breaking the bank. " (*Curated Review*)
