Woks Cooking Kirkby
Quick info
About Woks Cooking Kirkby
Woks Cooking Kirkby is a Chinese takeaway in Liverpool, on Richard Hesketh Dr at number 19, run in the style of a chippy. Chips sit on the menu alongside the Chinese dishes, so a single order can combine a portion of chips with a main from the wok side of the kitchen. Fried rice is part of that range, including Char Sui Fried Rice and Singapore fried rice. The shop opens every day, evenings only, so it serves its customers seven nights a week.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are sharply divided, and most recent accounts are negative. The one strong praise centers on the Char Sui Fried Rice, described as "to die for" with an unbelievable amount of meat and egg, along with quickly dispatched deliveries and polite drivers. Far more reviewers say quality has gone downhill. Several describe food with no flavour, naming the S&P chicken as just chicken bits with peppers and onions and the Singapore fried rice as rice with meat bits. One mentions a new chef, smaller portions and higher charges, and another says the hot and sour soup had a vinegar base with no decent meat or veg. One reviewer says every dish tasted of cigarette smoke, leaving the chips as the only good part of the order. Another reports a kebab that was out of date from the night before. A separate complaint is that the online comment box is ignored, with a request for a small amount of curry always arriving overflowing.
