  “I was really disappointed. I ordered the Nasi Goreng, and it was honestly the worst nasi goreng I’ve ever had. It had almost no flavour and lacked the rich, smoky, spicy taste you’d expect from this dish. It tasted like plain fried rice rather than authentic nasi goreng. I was really looking forward to it after hearing good things about the restaurant, but unfortunately it didn’t meet expectations at all. If you’re specifically craving a proper nasi goreng, I wouldn’t recommend ordering it here.”

  “Absolutely amazing place to eat. The food, staff,surroundings are amazing. They even have a separate menu for gluten free which was the reason we visited, this place and we were not disappointed. I would highly recommend this place.if I had to put one negative it would be the toilets they just need updating.”

  “Wet Wok absolutely exceeded expectations. We decided to go all in and try a wide range of dishes across the menu, and honestly, every single plate delivered. From the first bite to the last, the food was consistently fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. The balance of spices and textures stood out in particular—nothing felt rushed or generic, which you sometimes get with larger menus. What really sets Wet Wok apart (and something echoed in many other reviews) is the consistency. Whether it’s their signature stir-fries, noodles, or smaller sharing plates, everything arrives hot, well-presented, and packed with flavour. You can tell they don’t cut corners on ingredients, and the portion sizes are generous without compromising quality. The service deserves just as much praise. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, friendly, and genuinely seemed to care about the experience. Orders came out quickly, and they were happy to offer recommendations—which were spot on. It’s also worth mentioning the atmosphere: relaxed, welcoming, and perfect whether you’re going for a casual meal or something a bit more special. After trying so much of the menu, it’s rare to say there wasn’t a single weak dish—but that was genuinely the case here. Wet Wok has clearly built a strong reputation, and after this visit, it’s easy to see why. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back.”

  “I recently had a meal at The Wet Wok and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious and clearly freshly prepared. I ordered a mix of dishes, and each one was packed with flavour. The crispy chilli beef was perfectly cooked with just the right balance of sweetness and heat, while the fried rice was light, fluffy, and well-seasoned. Everything arrived at the table hot and beautifully presented. The portion sizes were generous, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. It wasn’t overly greasy, which made the meal feel satisfying without being too heavy. The staff were friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made the whole experience even better. Overall, it was a great meal and excellent value for money. I’d happily return to The Wet Wok and would recommend it to anyone looking for tasty, well-prepared Chinese food.”

  “Our visit was on the 8th of November 2024. Just the two of us. Booked online a couple weeks in advance and received email confirmation of the booking. Staff are very attentive and thorough - they are obviously well drilled and experienced. Efficient and polite, could perhaps be a little more friendly, there was a younger waitress that was very friendly and smiling. Extensive menu. We went for the set menu B for two people with added soft noodles. All the food, from starters, to duck course, the the mains and sides were very good and served quickly, but never rushed. Plenty of food for two people. Very well priced. Around £70 for two of us with drinks, starters, crispy duck, 3 main dishes and 3 sides of fried rice, vegetables and noodles. Would happily go again. The takeaway menu is the same menu, but 20% cheaper.”

  “I ate a lovely dinner for one here on the outdoor terrace - as I was staying just one night at a guesthouse on the adjacent Pier Street before catching a ferry. I didn’t know the area or have a reservation and my host recommended Wet Wok for its consistently good food, service and friendliness, saying that I would be fine there as a solo female from out of town. The staff were very welcoming, kind and helpful and accommodated me despite no reservations. It was only once I was on the ferry that I realised my purse was missing and I had no phone signal/internet access. I managed to contact the guesthouse and check lost property on the ferry and at the port but no joy. I’d given up to be honest and it was only on my return to Plymouth 3 days later I was able to phone Wet Wok who to my amazement and delight confirmed that they had my purse and contents and had tried running up the steps after I’d left to find me and even then had tried what they could from the info on my driving licence to contact me and said would have handed into the police if I had not contacted them by the weekend. In this day and age, it was heartwarming and such an enormous relief to find such honesty and consideration for a unknown customer. Wet Wok and its lovely staff are to be commended. I have written to thank them properly and showed my appreciation in the traditional way on collecting my purse. Even then the staff tried to tell me there was no need but, in my book, such honestly and kindness should be rewarded. Thank you Wet Wok - for welcoming me, seating me, feeding me well and for saving me losing my cash, cards and driving licence!”

  “Great location for a Chinese restaurant, located below the Hoe, on the small harbour. You are so close to the sea, you can literally touch it. I stopped off on a Sunday evening. I was cordially welcomed by the staff and directed to a seat. The table was at the rear of the restaurant, so the view was obscured, so a tip if you want a sea view, book in advance 😀. The limited view across the stunning Plymouth Sound was however lovely. I was served quickly and ordered drinks (Stella Artois on draught), then food. I had King Do style spare ribs filled by chicken and green pepper with black bean sauce, with egg fried rice. The ribs arrived quickly and we're very tasty. They came with Western cutlery, but I was able to ask for chopsticks, as I did not wish to get my hands too dirty. As noted the ribs were great, but I would have preferred a finger bowl to clean my fingers. Likewise, cheap paper napkins should really be replaced by cotton napkins. I know it may be a pain to clean, but this would really up the scale of the restaurant. The main course was again excellent. Fresh vegetables, lots of chicken and the rice was perfect. I enjoyed the course greatly and passed my thanks to the chef 👨‍🍳. When I left the restaurant was full. This probably explains why it has been voted best Chinese restaurant in Plymouth.”

  “Fantastic Chinese experience in an amazing location right on the seafront. The restaurant has been family owned for many years. The choice of dishes is what I’d consider higher end than the average Chinese take away. I had the 1/4 duck pancake option which was very good. I was slightly underwhelmed with the chicken satay as I thought the satay sauce was a little bland for my taste. Very large portions with plenty of pancakes allowed 2 of us to share. A decent wine list at affordable prices rounded out the whole meal and made me want to revisit. Booking is advisable as there were no free tables on the Saturday evening. All this right on my doorstep 🤗”

  “Had dinner here tonight, we had amazing service, delicious hot, fresh food, good drinks, and perfect sea views. Restaurant and tables could’ve been a bit cleaner, but overall a great option for dinner!”
