About Wokco
On High Rd in London, Wokco is a Chinese takeaway open for collection every evening except Tuesdays. There is no dine-in seating, so orders are placed for takeaway and phoned in directly to the counter staff. The menu runs through familiar favourites, with salt and pepper chicken, sweet and sour pork or prawn balls, and Singapore rice among the regular orders, alongside sesame prawn toast and salt and pepper squid. Vegan dishes are also available for those wanting a plant-based option. Since it operates on a walk-in basis, no booking is needed or possible, and the evenings-only schedule across all seven days gives a consistent window for anyone picking up food after work or dinner. Orders can be called ahead so food is ready for collection.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to Wokco for its fresh, well-portioned food, with the sesame prawn toast, salt and pepper chicken and squid, and sweet and sour dishes named most. One calls the prawn toast the best in London, another praises salt and pepper chicken with a thin, crispy batter and soft meat, and a third says the sweet and sour prawn balls avoid the doughy texture typical elsewhere. Close behind are the beef brisket, chicken fried rice, garlic honey and black pepper chicken, Singapore rice and a vegetarian set for two. Vegan options and polite phone staff who helped with them also draw mention. Several regulars of a few years describe friendly staff, a clean, tidy kitchen and good prices, and one notes a large portion can be added to share between two. The criticism is specific. One reviewer found the shredded duck dried out and hard to roll into pancakes, the lemon chicken flavored only on the surface, and the veg chow mein glutinous enough to end up in the bin. Another reports being physically sick after dumplings they believed had gone off, calling the rest greasy.

“Let's start off with I've been eating from here for years and never had anything resembling the handful of posted negative issues below which I simply don't trust. This evening we tried the Vegetarian Set for Two which offered a great range of variety and taste and was thoroughly satisfying and good value. Knowing this kitchen well, it is always spotless and committed to its food. I recommend it highly as a takeaway/delivery business.”
