About The Sizzling Wok
The Sizzling Wok is a Chinese takeaway on La in Stoke On Trent, serving a menu of 101 dishes built around a run of chow mein options, including Special Chow Mein, Singapore Chow Mein, and King Prawn Chow Mein alongside beef, shrimp, and Yung Chow versions. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no reservations. Payment is cash only, so customers should plan accordingly before ordering. A car park on site gives arriving customers a place to park while they collect their food. The wider chow mein range, from beef to prawn, gives regular visitors variety across visits without leaving the same core menu section. Together the format keeps the operation straightforward, cash-based, and geared toward quick pickup rather than sit-down dining.

Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply. The chow mein draws the most comment, and not kindly: one reviewer found the chicken version tasteless, another found theirs tasted off, with the chips oddly cheesy. Others praise the prawn toast and crispy shredded beef, plus friendly staff, red hot food, plenty of it and fair value. One long-time regular describes staff arguing among themselves before apologising.

“I had chicken and my wife had prawns. We also ordered crisby balls of pork. When I took the first bite of the pork it smelt bad, the rest went in the bin. My wife also only ate one pork ball. She ate all her prawns but was up from 12 at night all morning being sick on the toilet! We will never eat there again”

“Best takeaway meal in ages, food very tasty, red hot and plenty of it. It’s also great value with the added bonus of its own car park. Looks exceptionally clean and the staff are lovely.”
- Yvonne Bailey
“Service was good and sitting area is ok we picked up two main meals but the chicken chow main was tasteless and we could eat it at all. Very disappointed as this was picked up as a thank you for things people have done for me. Ended up cooking an omelette”

“The staff were very friendly. The food was pretty good, and was the price was also fair. I did enjoy the prawn toast and crispy shredded beef. Only eaten here twice so far but will definitely try it again!”

“Sorry! Don't do this often but felt I had to share. The food was not good. I have been coming here on and off for 20 years and it was our go-to Chinese. We decided to try it again last weekend. It was pricey, they only take cash (which hasn't been any different for years) and the food tasted poor. The chips were always my fave from here, but not now - they were weirdly cheesy, the chow mein had a scent to it which was off too. When I took it back they wanted the whole meal returned - but you do start to eat a meal you have just paid for, and we politely tried to eat it until enough people grumbled. Lots was left but we didn't return it all. The staff had an argument in Chinese about it and then just said sorry - it was the oil they used. They did offer to give me more there and then, but I really couldn't face more from the same pan. Needless to say I won't be returning. £40 of my hard earned money. I wasn't expecting anything in particular but a sorry might have been nice! If you read this - maybe consider an apology (not an argument/discussion in front of the customer) then an offer of a discount on another day, it might have encouraged me to try again another day. I will not now. Good luck with your business.”
