  “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.”

  “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 🤗”
