Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently praise the food quality at New China Wok, with several calling dishes like the satay chicken and chicken curry excellent and portions generous, though satisfaction depends heavily on the order. Close behind the praise is a recurring complaint about long waits, with diners describing waits of an hour or more for phone-in collection and one reporting a two hour delivery wait on a weekend. Order accuracy is also a repeated issue: one reviewer had honey king prawns missing and was initially told to wait for the next delivery slot before a refund was offered, while another received spare ribs in place of egg fried rice. A separate reviewer reported finding blue plastic in their chicken skewers alongside bland chowmein and thick, fatty curry sauce. Despite these issues, several attribute the delays to popularity, and one suggests more veggie and vegan options would help. One diner recalls a collection order confirmed by email and ready close to the stated time.

“I ordered sweet n sour chicken balls, chicken fried rice, chicken curry and a large egg fried rice. Had to wait 45 minutes for them to cook it. When I got home I found that the chicken balls were burnt and inedible. The chicken curry was a poor effort. The chicken fried rice was ok but the egg fried rice was missing and a portion of spare ribs was in its place. I won't be wasting my money in this establishment again. Very poor best avoided.”

“Our 1st visit tonight! Definitely won't be our last! Ordered on their website for collection at 6.15. Had an email straight back to confirm and to say that it'd be ready for collection at around 6.30. Went to collect at 6.30 and was told my …”

“Great food, great prices and great service. They were very busy and phoned in orders for collection were being given over 1 hr waits because of this but I just think it shows how good they are! They need more veggie/vegan options though.”

“Food is nice and convenient for us, but it is not worth the waiting times. Each time I have ordered from this place there’s atleast a two hour wait until my food arrives. It’s now 21.30, I ordered food at 7.30. I appreciate how busy you get on weekends, but there needs to be better management around this issue.”

“Food was bland, my satay chicken skewers were vile. Literally so hard and tasted like burnt cheap rubbish. Chowmein flavourless, curry sauce thick and fatty even when stirred. Then found blue plastic in my chicken skewers. Waste of money.”
