What I had: 🦐 Mixed Seafood Udon with XO Sauce: These were some spicy noods🥵🌡️! 🍜 The udon noodles were chewy in all the right ways and were just head to toe in delicious sweet, savory and spicy XO sauce. The medley of seafood brought a strong oceanic freshness to each chopstickful. 🌊x🔥
🍚 Nasi Goreng Kampung: This dish is an absolute flavour bomb! 🧨 With not ONE single grain stuck together and seasoned well with a perfect mix of chilli paste, shallots, garlic, and the addition tender duck made us all shifty eyed on who will take the last bite. 🍛 If you love fried rice you must not miss out on trying this one!
🍤 Tempura Prawns: Crispy, crunchy, and oh-so-satisfying! 🍤😍 These tempura prawns were a true tempura lovers dream. The light and crispy batter encased juicy delicious prawns. Dip 'em in the accompanying sauce, and you're hooked🍤🎣
🥟 Crispy Wontons Honestly I don't know what were in these but they were also great! Just out of the hot oil was the best way to have these, so get down to wokie if you can.
It takes something special for me to write like this about food, though it may be somewhat everyday menu items, the preparation, time it came to the table and overall service was above and beyond and took these dishes beyond what is expected. Thank you Wokie box for a...
Read moreThe Best Meal I’ve Had in the UK So Far
If you’re looking for authentic Chinese cuisine in the UK, Wokie Box is the place to be. My visit there was nothing short of exceptional, and the Yang Zhou Special Fried Rice I had was the highlight of my culinary experience so far.
The rice was cooked to perfection—each grain fluffy yet distinct, with a delicious medley of flavors. Packed with tender chicken, juicy prawns, and a mix of fresh vegetables, every bite was a perfect blend of textures. The subtle seasoning and hint of wok hei (that unique smoky flavor from high-heat cooking) elevated the dish to something truly memorable.
Beyond the food, the ambiance at Wokie Box was warm and welcoming, with a balance of modern touches and traditional Chinese elements. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that every part of the dining experience felt special.
Wokie Box’s Yang Zhou Special Fried Rice isn’t just a meal—it’s a celebration of authentic Chinese flavors. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone craving an...
Read moreExtremely disappointing experience – won’t be returning.
I’ve visited this place multiple times in the past and never had a problem, but today was honestly shocking. We ordered Schezwan Chicken Noodles and they were completely overloaded with vinegar – it was overpowering and made the dish almost inedible.
We raised the issue politely and asked if it could be altered or replaced, but the staff refused to do anything about it. What made it worse was the receptionist laughing and giggling while I explained the concern – incredibly rude and frustrating. It felt like they didn’t take us seriously at all.
We also ordered Hong Kong Noodles and Prawn Toast, which were actually good, so we didn’t complain about those. But the way our genuine concern was handled was unacceptable.
No wonder the place is usually empty – with that kind of attitude, it’s not surprising. I used to like coming here, but after today’s experience, I won’t be going back and definitely wouldn’t...
