Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the Singapore chow mein and general Chinese meals as better than other local options, with chips also singled out as great. But experiences split sharply: one diner describes gristly pork in recent orders alongside price increases, and another recounts a late, incorrect order (missing curry and gravy) with an unhelpful phone response when asking for a fix.

“I was hesitant on ordering from here from reading a few reviews, but I was fishing on a nearby lake and Magic Wok delivered. The food was great! I ordered the Singapore chow main and I can honestly say its nicer than my own local Chinese. My boys enjoyed their food, a chicken chow main and S&S chicken respectively. When im fishing here again I will most certainly order from here again”

“By far my favourite Chinese after trying all the local ones! And they also take card payments :) …”

“Just started using Magic Wok and I have to say really impressed. The Chinese meals we have tried are delicious and the chips are great too! I recommend 👌 …”

“This place has really gone downhill. The last few times I've ordered the pork in the dishes was full of gristle. Thought it was a one off at first but unfortunately not. They have had the cheek to put their prices up too. Won't be ordering from there again, which is a shame as they deliver.”

“Just called in with my 3 year old for a quick tea as running late! Ordered 2 sausage, chips gravey however no gravey so had to get curry. Took so long about 15 mins to make, my little boy was falling asleep they could see, I had to ask a couple of times how long as it seemed they was just serving everyone bar us. Finally got with food and no gravey, no curry, we had a ok sauce i think something sweet and sickly. I phoned back the young guy tried to help who's on the till and phone but got told I had to return to the shop to collect my curry! I explained i had just been in with a very sleepy 3 year old and couldn't bring him back out in the car etc and food would of been cold, however they would not bring it to me or offer any other solution (literally round the corner) can't believe he wanted me just to drive back out. So stuck with disgusting dry sausage and chips i wish I hadn't bothered, just so rude when I had just been sat there for ages waiting. I will not be going here ever again! more so for the disgusting service so rude!”
