About Magic Wok
On Crescent Rd in Windermere, Magic Wok is a family-run Chinese takeaway that serves collection orders only, with no dine-in. The kitchen cooks stir fry dishes, including chicken chow mein and Singapore noodles, and the main dishes come in large portions. The egg fried rice is also a generous size and can be shared between two. Orders can take a while to prepare, so the family asks customers for patience. Magic Wok opens in the evenings and closes on Tuesdays. Payment by card is accepted at the counter.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the generous portions of Cantonese style stir fry, with egg fried rice that looks plain but arrives flavourful and large enough to share. A chicken chow mein won one couple over enough that they returned for more chicken dishes and a duck dish. Others single out cashew chicken with plenty of cashews, Singapore noodles, and beef and tomato in a sweet sauce. One diner likened the spicy noodles to a roadside stall in Hong Kong. Service earns repeated credit, with reviewers describing lovely staff and food that came out quickly even when the kitchen was short staffed. Some reviewers are less convinced. One calls the kung po chicken far from the real thing, and another found the Singapore noodles, fried rice and char siu in kung pao sauce merely decent, noting a long wait when demand is high. The harshest account describes crispy chilli beef like sticks of jelly and satay chicken with a grim texture, and the whole order went in the bin.

“By far the worst Chinese i’ve ever had. Crispy chilli beef was inedible. Like sticks of jelly. Satay chicken had a grim texture too. Whole order went straight in the bin.”
- Akhil_Itty
“I tried their Singapore noodles, fried rice, and Char Siu in Kung Pao sauce. All the dishes were decent, though there can be a 20-60 minute wait due to high demand. Additionally, they only offer takeaway, with no dine-in option. On the plus side, they do accept card payments.”
