About Master Wok
Master Wok is a Chinese takeaway in Saint Helens, based at 135 Crossley Rd and run by a family who work in the shop themselves. The menu is large, and the kitchen alters dishes on request, for example a special chow mein without prawns.

“First time ordering here and I can't wait to order again. The food is fantastic (even for veggies/vegans), the staff are super friendly and portions are great too for the price. I arrived later than I planned and because of that the lady working there cooked fresh chips to ensure that they were hot for us. She didn't have to do that and I didn't ask, but what a lovely gesture. I reiterate: great food, fantastic staff and great service. Can't recommend master wok highly enough. I'd also add, having seen other reviews, that the food was not greasy at all.”

“Amazing food Amazing omelettes. Massive selection of food to choose from. Boiling hot food every time. One of the best Chinese in St Helens.”
- Joanne Houslay
“I often get food from here. Family run business with lovely drivers and the food is impeccable! Perfectly fresh, piping hot and extremely tasty! The best Chinese take-away in St Helens! We love to treat ourselves with food from here and it’s always been gorgeous! Give them a try! I also once got food from here for a party when I was getting married and it was excellent!”
- Andy Nulty
“The food was very nice flavour, was a huge shame it took over 2 hours and certain items turned up cold, think it would have been great if it was hot and delivered on time”

“Still the best Chinese in St Helens after years and years. Me and my family are regularly customers, my son on university now since we know this Chinese take away when he was born. The quality of the food is always up to standard, especially the salt and pepper dishes, noodles, starters, curry. The lovely couple are running the business and looking after the little cute boy and making great food consistently! But it is very shame that local teenagers always racism them, the local council, police, teachers can’t stop them. I think the big problem is their parents, the children post lots of fake reviews on google and Facebook to harm their business. It’s horrible and completely unreasonable!”

Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper dishes come up most, and reviewers split on them: one long-time regular praises them alongside the noodles, starters and curry, while others found the wings had a strange taste, the ribs were chopped small and short on seasoning, and the chicken had no flavour. Elsewhere, praise centres on food described as fresh, piping hot and tasty, with omelettes and a special chow mein made without prawns on request singled out, and a wide menu that includes options for veggies and vegans. Delivery is often called fast and on time, though one reviewer waited far too long and received cold items, and another found reheated chips and a bland curry sauce. One reviewer reports a chicken piece shaped like a rat and a rude reply when calling to complain. Several praise friendly staff, including a woman who cooked fresh chips for a customer who arrived late.
