The food was delicious, I ordered the chefs surf and turf and really liked it. Coulda used more surf. Service was friendly and fast. The bathroom was clean and nicely decorated but one of my pet peeves is when there’s no coat rack in the bathroom, it’s Minnesota it’s basically a necessity. Otherwise, I will be back.
First time visitor, really great experience. I had a udon noodle bowl with the spicy peanut sauce and it was so good. I was pleasantly surprised that the sauce had actual heat to it, so often Minnesota spice means barely a tingle, but this sauce was flavorful and had a kick.
The store is clean and the menu easy to figure out, I'll definitely be back.
Why am I prompted to tip without knowing service and food quality?
Glad I didn't.
Order 2 simple meals and pot stickers, received 2 "meals" with zero flavor. Had to ask about the appetizer and told we didn't order one, I asked for the receipt and low and behold they remembered before producing the receipt. We also ended up with someone else's "meal" you're welcome to whomever we took this garbage off of your hands for you.
Best part of the meal was the bottled water...
The venue is nice. They offer build your own Asian plates and offer a few preconfigured options. We went with the latter tonight as we didn’t want to make a bunch of decisions to create our own (but next time I will put my own meal together). The food is fresh and tastes good. It’s not high end but good for a quick meal out. I had sweet shrimp with noodles and my friend had chicken with brown rice. The shrimp was sweet with no spice. The chicken was fairly spicy with raw slices of jalapeño mixed in. Both were fine, but we agreed that we will build our own next time around. Note that you place your order via touch screen. It was easy to understand. The food came out in takeout boxes even though we ticked the “dine in” option. I don’t think they offer plates. So we sat at a nice table and ate out of the boxes with our plastic forks. It was a cold day today and we were surprised the space wasn’t better heated. It was chilly inside. Parking is free in the lot the Urban Wok is in. If your looking for fast food (Asian fare) it is a good option. No doubt a nice place to meet up with friends.
I was really disappointed today.
The employees were fantastic even when I had to wait a long time due to a MAJOR flaw in their website system that did not clearly mark the location ( obviously not the employees' fault).
But when I opened my food I was immediately put off by the scent of charcoal/ burnt food. There were flakes of charcoal on the box and mixed in to the sauce and both of my 2 bowls had burnt food inside.
I appreciate the employees might have been trying to rush because I had waited so long. But I'd be happier to wait for better quality food.
Thanks for listening.
Stopped here for lunch and it was a good experience. Thank you Mark T for serving me! He was really sweet and helpful. Brought my food to me & brought me a bag for my unfinished food. I greatly appreciated the service. It is on the pricier side but I will say the experience was good.
Good food. Great service. Highly recomend!
Donovan was super nice and made my day with his excellent service and awesome energy! Definitely coming back!
Donovan made our first experience here great. Delicious food and very great service, we will definitely be back.
Great staff and super tasty food!

Came for their Wing Wednesday promotion. They are the smallest chicken wings I've ever seen at a restaurant, still an okay value when their only 75 cents, but don't expect fullsize wings.
The restaurant itself doesn't really seem equipped to serve people dining in, I couldn't even find a napkin.
I was introduced to their food by a roommate last night and thought I’d give it a try today. Excellent food. Minimalist presentation. I thought the three potstickers would have been on the side and not in the entree. I will be back.
No music. Order through confusing kiosks with no greeting from a human. Two bowls and wings were flavorless, even with added hot sauce and ranch. Udon was swimming in large pool of grease.
Had a GREAT first time experience at Urban Wok. The employees were so polite and nice and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be coming back
Donovan and Derick were super helpful!
Outstanding food and service. 100% will return and recommend to friends and family!
New wraps are fire. Always love eating here for lunch! Customer service is phenomenal always positive vibes
The dish I got was SOOO good. I highly recommend this place. It was my first time here and I'll be back
Great food and atmosphere. Good customer service

I Ordered pickup for make my own stir fry bowl. Added the 3 potstickers and snow peas for an additional fee. I always check the bag to make sure everything is in there that I ordered before driving home. Noticed there wasn’t a container with 3 potstickers so I went back in and asked the employee, he tells me they are “mixed in with my stir fry” so I take his word and go home. Get all the way home and Pour the entire container out and there are no potstickers or snow peas I paid extra for. Overpriced and incorrect orders, paying for things you won’t get. Do not recommend and if you do triple check your pickup order
Ate here once and got a vibe of corporate nonsense. Months later got a $20 for $40 app platter promo. Online you order wings, spring rolls, wontons. I pick up and they're all wings. Worth $20. My nephew went there an hour later expecting a platter. Same thing. He called. They said that's weird to happen and will fix it. He went there and they gave him two potstickers and two spring rolls. Haha. Platter is to have 5 of each. He asked and they just said best you just leave. Too much a headache with junk online ordering experience and various mess ups. Stop going to work high. Would never pay $40 for this. Looking forward to who will take over that spot.
Delicious hot food really hit the spot after being outside in the cold.
Ordered the beef, ginger and broccoli and all I could taste was salt. No flavor. The beef was chewy and there were three sprigs of broccoli, the rest was rice.
The food is good and good portion. They only thing is they just forget to give me a drink with the combo meal. Good and friendly workers.
The two gentlemen working Demarcious & D were so helpful kind and friendly. I hope they’re taken care of here or I’d love them to come work for our company.
After screwing around with the kiosk for 5 min to have it freeze and have to start all over. Then to find out they will only let you use one gift card per purchase is a joke. You purposely sell your gift cards in a way to force people to spend extra money to utilize what they have already purchased. I received 4 gift cards when I made my gift cards purchase.
Food tasted like wok. Not sure if I’d come back.
The Boneless Wings | GF were really bad, with the breading sticking to my teeth. I got the blackberry habanero and the flavor wasnt what I was expecting.
AJ cooks a mean stirfry.
The kiosk was a little confusing when it starts with noodles, then extra veggies when building your own bowl. The menu didn't specify what veggies came with a chicken rice noodle bowl so we added stuff we didn't need too. Food came out pretty fast but was just ok. We got mango habanero sauce and it over powered everything. I wish there would have been a little more chicken since the pieces were so small.
The employees were super nice and friendly. We were impressed that the dinning area was spotless.
Jay helped me pick out my first build a bowl. So friendly and helpful. 10/10 experience
We're not sure how you can take simple food and make it so gross. Salty overcooked and dry.Not just once but multiple times I thought it was a fluke turned out it's just their menu. Save yourself the $$$ and eat at about any other Asian place for better tasting food.
Staff was nice tho.
Wing Wednesday Rocks! Try the PB & J Wings - Spicy Peanut Sauce w/ Drizzle of Blackberry Habanero. On Friday's you get a FREE Appetizer with your Create Your Own Entree. Love this Place! Try the Caribbean Jerk Signature Stir Fry Sauce - AMAZING!
Staff was nice and good was decent
Amazing employees, so helpful and very knowledgeable about allergies. Will definitely be back!
Good as always.

The food here is TERRIBLE! No flavor at all they don't even use any seasoning and it's extremely overpriced. I'm pissed I wasted money here. I didn't even eat the food because it was so bad it was like eating cardboard. Do they just not season the food at all?! I can make better stir fry at home. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
I had a tofu stir fry with whole wheat noodles and veggies with the special garlic sauce . Everything was delicious.
Service was great, very friendly. Good food!
Staff was very nice and the food was good tasting with good portions as well
I love coming here always the best customer service.
Would like to leave a review for the great customer service this establishment provides! I come here quite often for lunch and the process of ordering to receiving your food is always quick and easy. The portions to price is also a plus! I recently did have a bad experience and was not satisfied with one of the entrees. The owner Mark responded and took care of it. Would highly recommend a place like this for how much they care about their customers. The food is also tasty!
ugh i love this place when they get it right but unfortunately so often they do not. spent $20 on an udon stir fry w tofu & got rice with chicken lol (didn’t notice the chicken at first & almost ate it - as a vegetarian of 20 years this would not have been good!!!). love the food here which is why i continue to order from them but like please pay attention 😭
What happened? I did takeout. It was so good the first time I ordered. This time, I could no longer pick out the veggies I wanted which I was okay with but the cooks clearly forgot to put the sauce on it! Who wants flavorless dried noddles? So frustrating I spent money on this and had included a tip. Never again.
Very well ran. Guys working had good communication and it was clean.
Food was quick and delicious. Good value.
Love this place
Delicious food and great service.
Food was great
It was so amazing great customer service. The guy name was Will and he was great was very patient with me I got my food in a timely manner. Just the whole experience was Awsome and I loved the food.
$45 for noodles, 6 potstickers, 10 boneless wings?!?! If you want a quick serve chain, get your fix literally anywhere else for the same amount of food at half the cost. Thats like 5 Chipotle burritos!
Donavan is the best!!
Fresh, delicious, good music, and fun team that served us!
The experience was chill...
Great food with great staff who are very kind
Great food !! Clean Dining area !! Great customer service nice music I was serviced by aj he was very kind & very professional made my food very well would definitely try again
A good place to eat . Good energy. Love those guys.
Urban Wok SLP is an amazing spot to grab a quick bite on the go or dine and chill. Donovan the manager and his staff go above and beyond to create a welcoming environment for returning customers like myself and those who it might be their first time! Definitely a must try if you live or are passing through west end area!
The customer service at the Urban Wok in St. Louis Park is excellent and the food is great.
The food is great! The workers are very friendly. Food came out quick and was delicious.
I recently had an exceptional dining experience at Urban Walk in St. Louis Park. The ambiance was inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious – a true delight for the taste buds. I'm a big fan of this place, and my latest visit only reinforced why.
We encountered a bit of trouble paying with our gift cards, but Donovan, the manager on duty, went above and beyond to assist us. His helpfulness and professionalism made a potentially frustrating situation smooth and stress-free.
Urban Walk continues to impress with its fantastic cuisine and top-notch customer service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in a welcoming environment.
First time visiting this restaurant. Fast casual Asian is a fantastic concept. Food was great, spot on with flavors and fresh ingredients. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal and huge value. I’ll be back!
Food was good but having the option to dine in but o ly having very small paper plates seems strange.
They also charge a "convenience fee". No cash option. I'm not sure we will go back
The resturant had a very nice atmosphere when entering. Ordering was quick and easy. The food came out timely with great flavor. The choice of so many sauces and styles of food to make is great. Hard to believe taste so good and is actually good for ya. Do yourself a favor a stop in. You won’t regret it.
Urban Wok never disappoints. The entree portions are very large and the wings are excellent!
I'm a big fan of Urban Wok, first their St. Paul location and how this one. It's a great location right by the West End. You can completely customize your meal with the base, protein, sauce and veggies you like best. Udon noodles with peanut sauce and tofu is a favorite for me. Everything comes out hot and fresh so it's great to eat there or bring it home with you. Be sure to add the potstickers!
Amazing place!!! Food is delicious…. It’s a one of a kind place!!! Great value (have soooo much food I have probably more than 1 meal of delicious leftover)…. Just a cool place with a great vibe!!!
Fantastic food!!!
Neat concept and tasty food. Worth trying.
First time eating at Urban Wok. We both loved what we ordered. Such fresh ingredients and the food came out so fast! I had the Udon noodles with plenty of veggies and chicken and picked the Spicy Peanut Sauce which I loved. We also ordered the crispy spring rolls which were amazing. You get a bunch of them. Would highly recommend checking it out. We will definitely be back there.
Food was ready when they said it would be.
Really clean food and great service- highly recommend!
Went almost every week on my lunch break , the food and service was always so good !
Your food is okay but nothing special. What we received was greatly overpriced. Half of what we paid would have been more appropriate. I won't be back.
Very overpriced for the amount of food received. Order on screen pick up at counter ….no greeting or conversation at all with people behind counter
Did the combo for lunch just now the staff was great and a
This place is amazing! Fresh, inventive, I get to order and build my bowl my way. Fast and fresh.
Love the sauces! All made in house with clean ingredients.
Donovan and Ben are the best! Both greeted me, guided me with their favorites and what I could choose from and then made me my delicious creation.
Thank you Urban Wok!
Ordered for delivery, my 2nd time trying the yellow curry stir fry. The first time was shortly after they opened so I thought the reason why the flavor of the curry sauce was so bad might be because they're new. I tried the yellow curry again today and it was the same flavor - almost bitter and like it's missing an ingredient to balance it out. Going in the trash.
Food Was tasty But for almost nineteen dollars for 1 person with no apps It was mostly rice and sauce. Very late on the chicken and vegetables. Not worth the cost would not return.
Love their food and atmosphere, but their website is frustrating. Their sauces are great and I especially love the option of adding dumplings into your stir fry - it really adds a lot to the experience. They do a great job advertising their deals and specials but I have tried on many occasions and they will not work through their online ordering, which is maddening and has actually prevented me from ordering a couple times. It always seems to be missing a step and will not let you proceed. Very misleading and disappointing for something being advertised but you can’t use it.
Tried this place out because it is right by the hotel we stayed in. All 3 meals we ordered were bland and they all tasted the same. Extremely disappointed.
(Edit. I ordered from uber eats.) Kind of a burnt taste.. because it was burnt. I ordered the new lemongrass sauce with my pot stickers and didnt get any. If they were out they should have substituted at least something. It was 50 for egg roles potstickers and a chicken broccoli rice which i received beef instead of chicken for
Disappointing! Usually a favorite but sadly today’s meals not the usual quality expected. An overload of noodles with minimal sauce (the dish was quite dry), few veggies, and meat (we even paid for extra steak and extra chicken). It was just really disappointing. My husband and I will be reluctant to try again.
Terrible One Person working kid said he was only person gonna be working. Food was ok, stir fry with steak like 5 chunks of steak . Won't be next time here. Should have went to LeAnn Chins instead, will next time looking to eat ..
Everything is so good and fresh at this place. You can tell everything is made fresh. The manager Donovan really made us feel at home; funny guy! He's very knowledgeable about the product and a very positive attitude. The place is very clean and tidy.
Great food, efficient ordering, I showed up a few minutes before they opened and the employee opened the door early and was friendly and accommodating us!
Thanks to Urban Wok manager, Mark Toth, for making it right for us! We look forward to trying Urban Wok again!
Horrible experience all around starting with not taking online orders. When called, we were referred back to the website indicating no online orders were being taken. Get to the restaurant & zero people inside, including staff. We had to place an ONLINE order on a kiosk, still no staff. Finally 2 employees came out from the back to work on our order but never did greet us.
We chose to try UW because one in our party has celiac & they listed many gluten-free options on the menu. She watched the preparation & noticed many errors of cross-contamination, including putting the utensil used for the wheat noodles in the GF rice noodles. She no longer felt she could safely eat her entree, so we ended up getting her a meal at a different restaurant in the area that she knew she could trust.
The food was overpriced (our bill was about $100 for takeout for 4, which included the GF meal that wasn’t eaten) & very bland & not tasty at all. We came in expecting something comparable to Pei Wei & were very sadly disappointed.
Excellent place to get some great grub. With such a simple menu you have almost unlimited options. Food is fresh and tasted great. Gentlemen that was working even turned on the TV for the kids to sit and watch a movie. Can’t recommend this place enough.
I’ve order from here numerous times and my food hasn’t never been burnt. The dumplings as well as shrimp was burnt. I am not sure what has changed and I am frequent customer. I paid $52 for my sisters and I. I just don’t feel like it’s right to charge people that much and give them brunt food. It was not enjoyable at all! I am extremely disappointed. Also please change the mango habanero back to original sauce. I don’t like this new concoction
I was really disappointed today.
The employees were fantastic even when I had to wait a long time due to a MAJOR flaw in their website system that did not clearly mark the location ( obviously not the employees' fault).
But when I opened my food I was immediately put off by the scent of charcoal/ burnt food. There were flakes of charcoal on the box and mixed in to the sauce and both of my 2 bowls had burnt food inside.
I appreciate the employees might have been trying to rush because I had waited so long. But I'd be happier to wait for better quality food.
Thanks for listening.
Clean , servive good. Price way to high. Would like option of a person taking my order.
The food was very good. The place was empty at 12:30 on a Thursday. The only issue was they “hadn’t received the truck delivery yet” and so were out of most kinds of soda/pop.
Grabbed a late lunch and not busy. My order was fresh and hot. Yummy stir fry vegetables served I. A to-go container. However it was so yummy I ate the whole thing. It hit the spot for me. I chose to go with zucchini noodles (zoodles) with shrimp and adding the mango habanero sauce. It was a perfect combo.
Food promised in 30 min so left work to pickup. Stood for another 30+ min because limited staff was so far behind. Go elsewhere if you have limited time for lunch like me.
A friend and I were in tonight and everything was amazing. Great food, great prices (don’t miss out on BOGO stir fry Friday), and AJ/Donovan were so friendly and informative.
I paid $4 extra to have shrimp and they didn’t give me my shrimp. Had I gotten it, I would have given 5 stars because the food was tasty. But it sucks to have to pay for something as an extra and not even get it.
Amazing!! Great place to go if you can’t decide what to eat. The employees are SO kind and work as hard and as fast as they can to get you your food. Customer service 10/10.
DELICIOUS!!!
Great food, great staff, highly recommend this place!
My family loves Urban Wok in West End St. Louis Park! The food is fresh because it’s cooked to order & the employees are very friendly. We’ve been to the Maple Grove location but we’re sticking with West End because there’s more seating & the employees make it a welcoming environment. Keep up the fabulous work!
Chipotle of Wok, amazing food super quick service
This is pretty good perfectly serviceable Asian fusion food. The wallpaper from an ancient subway store kind of hit a little old but it’s a decently decorated place too. Better than Lee Ann Chin.
Unethical and lazy. They didn't deliver our full order and when we called to ask for our full order or a refund, they refused to address their mistake. They told us they didn't have time for us. Expensive, insulting and arrogant. Don't do business with these guys, they don't deserve your time.
Not impressed with the wonton soup and they forgot the dressing with my Asian salad
Good food menu easy to understand also blackberry habenero sauce is really good
Enjoyed the stir-fry.
The food is great. But you rarely get what you order. If you can afford the gamble of getting the wrong order it’s worth it. If you want value for your money, i’d find a different location
Travis N was very attentive and helpful, offering my baby a drink, and offering to carry my meal to my table as it was a lot to carry. Food was delicious! We'll be coming here again!
If you dine in, no plates, only 1 napkin. It’s over 100 degrees outside and the food is so hot that you can’t eat it. The music is so loud you can’t hear them call your name when your food is ready. Your good is crammed in boxes. And expensive. OMG expensive. No one on the staff was wiping down tables- the place was a mess. Glad I do not live here, would not be coming back.
Service in St. Louis Park was awesome!! Very friendly, fast and helpful
Hot, fresh and fast. I wish there were more condiments on the table such as soy sauce.
Stopped in for a quick bite and was shocked by the amount of gluten free options on the menu. The agave ginger sriracha sauce was to die for
Everything was delicious - their sauces are to die for! Plus the employee caught I had a gluten allergy and took correct precautions. Can’t wait to come back!
My husband and I love coming to Urban Wok. It’s a healthy dinner option with a variety of fresh vegetables and signature sauces to choose from for your meal.
They have a great deal on Friday called Stir fry Friday’s where BOGO.
The staff and manager are super friendly and always helpful.
The restaurant is freezing always. They don’t give a lot of meat in the dish, what is included is poor quality (steak shouldn’t be crunchy). I ordered three dumplings which were mixed into my noodles, and I only found 1.5 of them in there. Lastly, it’s not even affordable. 🤮
Staff was very friendly and attentive--recommendations on what's popular. Cook was engaging with a great sense of humor!!
Delicious food, wonderful employees
Udon noodles with the spicy peanut sauce are fantastic. I also highly recommend the jalapeño fried rice. If you add shrimp too it they give a very generous amount.
great service. very friendly and super helpful. amazing food per usual
Udon noodles 🔥
This is quality fresh food at a very reasonable price. The sauces are amazing! We tried the Blackberry Habanero and Spicy Peanut sauces. Amazing!! Vegetable Spring Rolls as an appetizer. Nice staff and clean place. You won't regret it!
Amazing flavors!
Great Food! Great Service!
Amazing service and great food!!
First time in tonight and was immediately greeted. Staff member helped me with building my meal and deciding on the type of sauce to choose. What really caught me off guard was the manager. He was sagging his pants and seemed to be intoxicated. I asked if he could help me with signing up for rewards and he told me to F-off under his breath. Luckily I was able to figure it out. The other employee was very helpful. Other than that the food was great I really enjoyed it. :) hopefully they work out something between the manager…
Just stopped in at 5pm to order food for dinner and employees were blasting rap music with swear words and whole store smelled like cigarettes.. really bad. The employee was in the back smoking a cigarette while on his phone. I needed help with the kiosk and there was nobody up front to assist me. Took a while for anyone to notice that I was here and who I’m guessing was the manager for tonight came up front and just looked at me very rudely. His eyes were bright red and looked like he didn’t want to be here. Fortunately one of the employees was eager to answer my questions. Thank you josh! I went to sit down at one of the tables and almost every one of them was sticky and had food on them. I told the Manager about it ,he kind of just brushed it off and rolled his eyes. When I received my food the pieces of chicken and the rice noodles were severely overcooked and had a nasty burnt taste. I would say this was the worst experience that I had. I come in often on weekdays for dinner and always have a good experience but this time was very disappointing.
Food awful service awful and atmosphere would not recommend to anyone..food is burnt, staff is timid..
First visit. l Tried the create your own, the pre-created and wings. Portion size for one dish was ridiculously small, other was fine. Staff was very friendly, helpful and tried to make everything right.
Clerk had to come around and help with the ordering process. It didn't go smoothly. I was charged for everything but we found later what actually printed for the box label and what showed on their order screen was missing items and the dollar totals didn't match my receipt. I was shown their screen, and had the box label. They didn't seem to recognize the mismatch.
Rather than redoing the incorrect order, they just brought out some chicken chunks 10 minutes after they brought out the dish. They forgot about the wings. They came over to the table to asked about one of the entres they had helped input. One of the specific problems was the orders printed without the protein that was ordered and paid for.
Fortunately I was there at 11:00 and no customers came for the first half hour. So they had time for the 15-minute ordering process and then the 15-minute cooking and adding
items. With all the difficulty in placing the order I forgot to enter the TERIYAKI coupon code to get a free item.
It felt like it was their first day in business. Other customers eventually came and some had the same level of difficulty with the order entry process.
I asked if their soy was gluten free. The clerk explained that soy was made from soybeans and they are vegetables, so yes it's gluten-free. He apparently was unaware that 99% of soy sauce is blended with wheat. Fortunately, I don't have an allergy. A member of my family does. Urban Wok highlights how most everything is GF. I wanted to try the place ahead of bringing her there.
Service was good. Food was super salty/dry and the music was overwhelmingly loud in the store.
One of the employees greeted me right away and asked if I had questions and showed me how to order food. The food is delicious and I really like their pre-selected bowls and all the options, the sauce was yummy and the perfect amount of spice!
My first time there and they blew it out of the park with how good it was, and the staff is just incredible
The hospitality and service is unmatched though the food does not live up to the same standards. 5 veggies add ins and its still all rice. Not ideal for getting returning guests but the idea and meal is still good enough to have a 2nd first time at another location. Especially being that it was Stir Fryday which means buy one get one. Worked out well for me and my lady.
Today (4/26/2023) I stopped into Urban Wok for the first time because I saw their sign for 75 cent wings and said why not. From the moment I walked in the energy of the workers was alive! Not only was the food extremely good but the workers are the reason I am writing this review. I came right in the middle of the lunch rush and it looked like a two man team at this point. It is rare that you see two workers so in sync to handle take out orders, dine-in orders, online orders and a huge group order at once. The gentleman working the front part of the kitchen was making sure everyone was getting their food as fast as they could while also communicating what was going on in case some orders took longer. The gentleman working the back end of the kitchen was flying as fast as possible to make the food (and again it was really good so he did a fine job!). I will absolutely recommend this location purely on the staff. Travis was one worker (per the name on my receipt) and I'm sorry I didn't get the other gentleman's name but kuddos to you both for running a smooth show during a major lunch rush!
Pros: Really great customer service. Lovely people, great vibes.
Cons: food tasted dirty
I ordered a BYO Stir Fry: rice noodles, broccoli, green onions, cabbage, 3 chicken dumplings, w/ garlic, ginger and soy sauce. When it was completed, it smelled and tasted burnt/off.
The gentleman there was very kind and remade it for me with a different sauce to try (the yellow coconut curry) and it definitely smelled better, but still tasted dirty/burnt, and also bland (needed a lot of salt and pepper).
Based on the residue I found on the noodles and the inside of the container, my best guess is the oil is being reused for multiple orders and the woks aren't cleaned/new in between orders. Fix that, use a bit more seasoning, and also turn down the heat a little bit to avoid burning the sauce - this could be really good!
Absolutely delicious!
Ordering at the kiosk in the store charges you a fee.
I was super excited to try this.. udon noodles overdone.. soggy dumplings that no longer resembled a dumpling. Veggies were nice and fresh. But ordered snow peas and got chick peas instead. They forgot my hot sauce.. so it had NO SPICE.. even though I ordered "spicy peanut sauce"
My hubby and I just left the urban wok in west end. Travis was the gentlemen that cooked our food..he was really friendly and enthusiastic about the product and they most def delivered. We are foody types and like to eat healthy and was blown away by how delicious our good was! I had spicy peanut sauce chicken and he had yellow curry. Vegetables were so fresh AND cooked perfectly. They had all recyclable and compostable to go containers. Thanks Urban wok (and Travis) we can't wait to come back!
I have absolutely no idea how this place is rated so high. Horrible food and horrible service
Overall, the whole family liked it and we will try it again in a bit to see if it irons out some kinks.
The food is fresh, healthy, priced decently, and tasted great, and the staff was friendly.
Strange things that I hope they iron out:
First, I agree with a previous comment that it is cold inside. My kids didn't want to dine in because of it but we had to as we were on our way to an event.
Second, even when marking dine in, your food comes in take out boxes- not the easiest for little kids to eat out of. When I asked for a plate for my youngest, a decorative paper plate like what you'd buy at Target was supplied. Just felt a little weird.
Third, Waaaaay too sauce forward. As mentioned, this is served in takeout boxes. As I was finishing mine, there was a good 2-3 tablespoons of sauce left in it and I had to leave my remaining rice because the sauce was too salty to continue.
