Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split almost evenly. Those who praise Wok Magik single out fast, friendly service, with orders arriving quicker than expected and a driver who hands over the meal with a smile and a thank you. Chicken chow mein, the Special Chop Suey and the Korean BBQ chicken with rice, which one diner has ordered four times, are the dishes named in praise, and a customer of over 40 years calls it brilliant value. Special fried rice and the duck meat earn a nod even from dissatisfied diners. The critical reviews are detailed. Crispy beef is described three times as sour, bland and mushy, or simply terrible. Sweet and sour chicken and the BBQ sauce are said to taste of pure vinegar, and others report horrible noodles, spare ribs that were all bone, salt and pepper ribs like leather, and food arriving cold and soggy. One diner who complained was told that is just how the restaurant does it, and said most of the meal went in the bin.

“Ordered crispy shreaded beef, god knows what arrived but it looked and tasted terrible. No meat on the spare ribs at all, was all bone. The only good thing was the special fried rice. Wont be returning”

“I have had some bad takeaways, but I think this was the worst. Noodles w were fine, but the rest ended up in bin. Sweet & sour chicken and crispy beef was so sour, felt like eating pure vinegar. Bao duck buns didn’t have much flavour. Battered bananas felt like have been made day before and texture of it was horrible. Surprised that this place exists, if this is how their food is every time. No way some actually likes this. And I’m a person who enjoys vinegary food, but that was shocking!!!”

“Been coming here for over 40 years, having grown up in Scartho. I live in Manchester now, close to China Town, but this is still the best Chinese takeaway I've ever found, and brilliant value for money. Well recommend the Special Chop Suey, but all is good. Highly recommended.”
