Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for food that arrives hot and freshly cooked, with several noting it is not greasy and sometimes lands quicker than the estimated delivery time. Salt and pepper mushrooms get a direct recommendation from one vegetarian diner, and others single out a crispy aromatic duck and a chicken curry with plenty of meat, alongside generous portions and a wide choice of vegetable dishes. Close behind are friendly staff and a polite delivery driver. The criticism is specific. Soggy chips, a special chow mein with hardly any meat and an oily pancake roll recur across reviews. One diner describes chicken that tasted of ammonia and a watered down sweet and sour sauce, and another reports raw chicken and thin, watery Thai curries. Several also find the prices and delivery charge high, and one misses the free prawn crackers. When an item was missing from one order, the takeaway made it fresh and brought it round shortly after a phone call.

“Used to be a fan of this place, nice dumplings - but the thai curries are just spicy water and the chicken was raw so”

“Been meaning to leave a review for ages. We moved to Peterborough a year or so ago and this was the first Chinese takeaway we tried. We won’t be trying any others. The food is so good, always fresh, great portions. We haven’t found a bad dish yet. 10/10”

“I ordered via Uber Eats (first time using Uber or Wok Inn). I called the takeaway to confirm time and place. The staff member was very friendly and professional and got cooking straight away so I could meet my connecting train. The driver who called me on route was again was polite, highly professional and friendly. Top service, Excellent food, well packed and very warm. I would highly recommend Wok Inn.”

“I genuinely can't understand why people rave about this Chinese, my first order was so dreadful its easily in the top 3 worst chineses I've ever had! The chicken kung po sauce was swapped at request for sweet and sour (i dont like it spicy) but it was extremely watered down compared to the sweet and sour sauce with the chicken balls (the former was literally dripping everywhere), the beef chop suey surprisingly my mum liked even though it was bleachy tasting in places (she isn't that fussy really), but everything else was terrible the vegetables in the kung po were undercooked and tasted like ammonia and the chicken in both the balls and the KP tasted like ammonia too and very dry! The S&P chips were overly spicy and missing the bell peppers (one of the best bits, which were present in the KP), banana fritter batter was stale tasting and overly soggy (delivery was fast enough for that not to have been the issue), normal chips weren't too bad, but overall id rate this a 2/10 3/10 at a push... especially considering its so overpriced! Things on average costed 15%/35% more than other chineses that are much better in town! In one word... AVOID!”

“Used them on a JustEat delivery. Food was decent although pancake roll was a little oily. Delivery took just over an hour!”
