About Woks Chinese Takeaway
Woks Chinese Takeaway is a Chinese takeaway at 144 Elliott St in Manchester, set up for orders placed over the phone and collected. The menu follows the familiar takeaway pattern, with chicken chow mein among the main dishes and crispy shredded beef and spare ribs alongside it. The cooking is Chinese in style, and the range takes in both sweet and sour dishes and mushroom-based mains. The kitchen also caters for large group orders of about 10 people, so a bigger party can place a single order.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific and recur in a handful of reviews. One regular delivery brought stone cold rice, overdone frozen chips, and duck and lamb in mushroom that was mostly onions and mushroom with no flavour. Another found the sweet and sour sauce watery and the chicken balls stodgy and uncooked inside. A chicken chow mein had jelly-like, undercooked chicken. A further order of crispy shredded beef arrived limp, the spare ribs were called a joke, and the crispy seaweed was missing, though the prawn sesame toast was the best item. One happy group order was delivered by a worker dressed as Father Christmas, which the kids loved.

“I ordered crispy shredded beef and Chili sauce beef was limp no way crispy sauce of bland. Spare ribs absolute joke. All the crispy seaweed did not even get that in my mail and prawn sesame toast was the best thing out of everything. Avoid”

“Absolutely awful meal just delivered to my house. Chicken balls in sweet and sour sauce with boiled rice. Sauce had constancy of water. Chicken balls large with tasteless thick stodgy batter quite uncooked on the inside. Even my son who will eat anything said it’s the worst he has ever tasted so we threw most of it away. Never again. Pics after chicken has been removed.”

“Absolutely Fantastic. We ordered a large meal for about 10 people everything came as we asked and it was all fresh and tasty. Came in nice containers and looked extremely appetising. Everyone enjoyed it and we will be returning. Not to mention it was delivered by a worker dressed as father Christmas this was really good for the kids so thank you very much 10/10 takeaway best Chinese around.”
