About Wok Away
Wok Away is a Chinese takeaway in Tamworth, at 18 Bridge St, and it takes cash only, with a cash machine next door at the Spar for anyone who arrives without any. The menu is large, and dishes can be made to order or adjusted on request. A spicy platter is one of the options, and battered prawns are available as an alternative to sweet and sour chicken. Prawn crackers and pots of sauce come with every meal. The takeaway opens Tuesday to Sunday, evenings only, and closes on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise food that arrives piping hot in containers packed to the brim, with generous portions. The spicy platter of ribs, chicken drumsticks, mini spring rolls, won ton and sesame toast is singled out, along with the tom yum soup. Close behind are the crispy, not greasy fried items, a chow mein described as well balanced rather than mostly noodle, and battered prawns as an alternative to sweet and sour chicken. One reviewer calls the meat succulent. Several describe a wide menu, and one says dishes can be made their way without fuss. A long-time customer says orders have never come out wrong. Staff are called polite, friendly and welcoming, the shop clean, and the delivery driver lovely. Several say they would recommend it, and one reviewer is just as fond of the pots of sauce and the prawn crackers that come with every meal.

“Best Chinese takeaway I've had. The fried items were crispy and not greasy. The chow mein was well balanced rather than 90% noodle that some places offer. I especially like the availablity of battered prawns, makes a good difference to just sweet and sour chicken. The delivery bloke was lovely, and food arrived plenty hot enough.”
