About Star Wok
Star Wok is a Chinese takeaway in Greenock, based at 1 Burns Square. The menu covers curries, with chicken curry and curry fried rice among the dishes. Chips are served with orders. Customers who skip meat can choose mock chicken with mixed veg or other vegetable dishes, so a meat-free order comes from the same kitchen and the same menu as the curries and rice dishes. Orders are handled by phone and at the front desk.

Customer Review Summary
Curry is the dish reviewers return to most, with the chicken curry and spicy Indonesian noodles described as bang on for taste and a special curry also getting a nod. Close behind are the vegetarian options, where the mock chicken comes with crunchy veg and the vegetable dishes are called beautiful. Others praise tasty, fresh food, non greasy chicken balls, brilliant chips and huge portions. One reviewer says the boiled rice was not up to much. Delivery and service draw the main complaints. One order arrived late with cold chips that tasted of burnt oil and a watery sauce. Another reviewer says the front desk lengthened the quoted delivery time. A diner who ordered crispy beef was unhappy to get frozen onion rings. One customer reports missing items on three visits and being blamed at the desk. Even so, one diner whose order went to the wrong address was won over when the replacement arrived piping hot and the driver waited at the door while the order was checked.

“Three time we’ve went to this Chinese recently and had to drive all the way back from wemyss bay as a result of missing items. Three time we were met with a RUDE condescending women in the desk blaming us and accusing us of lying. I would not be standing here arguing over one meal leaving everything else to get cold for the sake of it. Least to say I will not be back and they should really work on their customer service before others are the same.”

“Chicken curry and spicy Indonesian noodles 🍜 bang on taste wise. Boiled rice was not surprising not up to much though. June 2024. 2 Meal was lovely well cooked and tasty. The flavours were delicious. Rice still could be better though.”

“Mistakes happen, it’s how we fix them that matters. And too often people are fast to complain and never say when things go right. So as a new fan to this place, I want to say thanks. Firstly, the food is absolutely brilliant here. Tasty, fresh, with just the right amount of sauce, non greasy chicken balls and (very rare!) brilliant chips. The food is excellent, in other words. Tonight we waited a long time for delivery (in fairness it’s Saturday, so to be expected) when I called again I was told it was on its way. Unfortunately half an hour later it still wasn’t here so I called again and the nice lady who always answers the phone could be heard in the background trying to figure out what was wrong. Turns out the order went to the wrong place. It happens. But the big success was the apology and the food turning up piping hot within 10 minutes. The guy apologised and waited at the door while we checked the order was complete, which it was. The food was brilliant as usual. Thanks for admitting a mistake and putting it right, in the best way! ⭐️”
