Iron Wok — Restaurant in Vancouver

By: Peter Sammarco | Dexter Realty

I’ve been coming to Iron Wok for over 20 years, and let me tell you — the food has never been better than it is right now. Healthy, vibrant, full of flavour — truly the best Chinese food I’ve ever tasted. The freshness, the balance, and the pride in every dish are a reflection of something deeper: a beautiful family business done right.

Located right on the corner of Alma Street in the mall, Iron Wok is one of those rare gems where the people are as good as the food. I’ve seen families come in to grab meals for loved ones, and it reminds me of what I’ve done for years — bringing food home, supporting real people, and being part of something local.

This is what makes communities thrive: mom-and-pop businesses, not just public sector sprawl. Canada needs more of this — real families, real food, real service, built on pride and legacy.

Their consistency, care, and dedication are why I keep coming back — and always will. We need to support businesses like Iron Wok, just like I’ve supported my own parents in business and just like I support local homeowners every day in real estate.

Support your local economy. Eat well. Live well. Thank you, Iron Wok. You are the heart of Point Grey.

Went with my family today based on the great reviews here. We ordered 3 dishes with chicken and 1 with shrimps. The chicken tasted old and had a gummy texture. The shrimps were old too. Afraid of getting sick, we had to give the food back specially since my parents are visiting the city (you don't want to spend your holidays in the hospital). The owners didn't take it well and kicked us out of the establishment in a very rude way. I would never...

Iron Wok is a truly beautiful mom-and-pop restaurant that embodies kindness and authenticity. The owners are incredibly warm-hearted, making every visit a delightful experience. Their food is absolutely delicious and unpretentious, prepared with care and love. I highly recommend trying their Dinner for Two box – it’s a perfect way to enjoy a flavorful and satisfying meal. Support this local treasure; they truly deserve it! — Peter Sammarco @...
