Quick info
About The New China Wok
On Middleton Park Road in Leeds, The New China Wok is a takeout restaurant serving the local area on a walk-in basis, with no online ordering. The kitchen turns out salt and pepper chips and black bean sauce dishes such as beef in black bean, alongside a Chinese curry served with chips, rice and spring rolls as a regular order. Payment is cash only, so customers should plan for that when ordering. Delivery is limited to the Middleton area, keeping the run close to the shop. Orders are taken and collected at the counter rather than through an app or website, and the menu stays centered on these familiar takeaway staples rather than a wider rotating selection.

Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chips draw the most praise, described by several as a standout alongside black bean sauce dishes, with beef curry and spring rolls also singled out as satisfying. Reviewers repeatedly call portions generous, fresh, hot, and reasonably priced, and multiple note the staff's willingness to modify dishes and their friendliness. A recurring complaint is cash-only payment and a delivery area limited to Middleton, frustrating nearby customers. Other reviewers report real problems: one found special fried rice nearly empty with only a few slivers of pork and chicken and was told that was correct, one describes delivery taking a long time and food arriving flat cold with portions they likened to a kids' size, and another cancelled after finding chips and curry sauce priced the same served separately as together, getting less for the same cost. One reviewer also flagged an unexplained gap between the quoted order price and what the driver charged at the door.

“Food is 100% beautiful! Always love the food from here. But there just a couple of services issues I have. They only do cash only which is really annoying. And they don’t deliver only in there local area Middleton I’m like 5 mins away from Middleton and they won’t deliver. Apart from that staff friendly and beautiful plants in the shop. All In totally I would give 7/10”
