Quick info
About New wok
On Bolton Rd in Manchester, New Wok is a Chinese takeaway with a reception area and some seating inside a clean, tidy room. Orders go in at the front counter or through the website with card payment, and it's walk-in with no reservations. The menu runs from vegetable chow mein and salt and pepper chicken to tom yum soup, which can be made with tofu in place of prawns, alongside ribs served with plain noodles and sweet and sour sauce. Chips here come air-fried from frozen rather than the traditional chippy style. It opens Monday to Sunday except Tuesdays, and only in the evenings.

“The best Chinese food ever! 🥢✨ We’ve tried this place a couple of times now, and honestly, we never get tired of ordering from here. Every dish is packed with flavour, always fresh, and absolutely delicious. It’s become one of our go to spots whenever we’re craving Chinese. Highly recommend to anyone looking for consistently amazing food!”

“Food was absolutely delicious! The only thing I would say is the chips are frozen instead of chippy chips (I prefer chippy chips) and the salt and pepper chicken needs to be more salt and peppery but non the less was yum! Thank you x”

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the flavour and freshness of the food, calling every dish delicious and describing generous portions and a menu wide enough that choosing is hard. One regular order is tom yum soup with tofu instead of prawns alongside vegetable chow mein, and another reviewer calls it a proper Chinese takeaway without the cheap fillers. The woman at the front is described as wonderful and friendly, and one reviewer praises quick delivery. Complaints centre on delivery and a few menu details. One order of plain noodles, ribs and sweet and sour sauce arrived hours after it was placed, and another delivery came with a large hot sauce packed sideways that spilled across the floor. On the food, one reviewer wants the salt and pepper chicken to be more salt and peppery. Two reviewers say the chips are not chippy chips, describing them as frozen or more like air fryer fries.
