Best Lemon Chicken in Stoney Creek

(60 reviews)

Lemon Chicken is one of the Special Suggestions that Stoney Creek and Hamilton East regulars come back for, and Spring Wok Express serves one of the best versions on Highway 8. Lightly battered chicken is fried until golden, then finished in a bright, tangy lemon sauce that stays glossy instead of heavy. It is lighter and sharper than our sweeter glazes, which makes it an easy pick next to a plate of Chicken Fried Rice or Chicken Chow Mein. It is a favourite for customers who want citrus and crunch rather than the heat of General Tao Chicken or the deep sweetness of Orange Chicken.

About Our Lemon Chicken

Lemon Chicken sits on our Special Suggestions list alongside General Tao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken and Kung Pao Diced Chicken with Almonds, and it is a dish our Stoney Creek regulars order again and again for its clean, citrusy finish.

We batter and fry the chicken fresh to order, then coat it in a lemon sauce that is poured on at the pass so the coating stays crisp rather than going soft in the container on the way home.

Why Our Lemon Chicken Stands Out

A lemon sauce lives or dies on balance - too sweet and it tastes like candy, too sharp and it takes over the plate. Ours is built to land in between, which is why Fruitland and Winona customers keep pairing it with a Combination plate or a side of Steamed White Rice.

"Classic Canadian-Chinese comfort food. Rice plus a few items is perfect for lunch and the combos are very affordable. Consistent quality every time I've ordered."

"Spring Wok Express is great for quick takeout. Staff work fast, portions are generous, and the orange chicken is a favourite. Dining space is basic but it's perfect for grabbing food to go."
