Magic Wok
Quick info
About Magic Wok
On Oldham Rd in Manchester, Magic Wok is a Chinese takeaway operating on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. It opens Monday to Sunday except Wednesdays, and only in the evenings, so orders fall within that window rather than across a full day. The counter handles the Chinese takeaway menu for collection. With food available only a handful of hours each night it runs, and no service on Wednesdays, timing a visit around that pattern matters for anyone planning to stop by Oldham Rd for an evening meal.

Customer Review Summary
Recent reviewers describe a sharp decline, with shredded beef called mostly filler veg with a strange smell and other dishes burnt and nasty tasting. Complaints about high prices and an unanswered phone recur. One diner, however, called their delivered order the tastiest Chinese in a while, cooked fresh and arriving in under an hour, though this praise stands apart from the recent pattern.

“I had to leave a review because of the score it has. Being Tuesday not many places are open so we opted for here. I have to say it's the tastest Chinese we've eaten for a while! The food was perfectly cooked and so fresh! It was delivered in just under 1 hour too! 5 stars deserved 👏🏼👏🏼”

“I have been a very regular customer for years and their food has always been on point. However, in the last couple of months their food has taken a massive dive. The dishes have totally changed and what they do make is now horrible, burnt cheap and nasty tasing food. Its really is foul. I threw tonights food in the bin. I'll never oder from here again. Regular, loyal customer gone. Be warned.”

“Ordered here many times, but the quality just gets worse and worse and the prices are too high. The quality of meat is very low and most dishes are mostly filler veg - the shredded beef is mostly just veg with a strange smell. Friendly staff and hot food but unfortunately the overall quality is diabolical.”
