Hard Wok Kafe in Eastleigh

Just had our first meal from here and it was lovely !! Will be ordering again! Thank you

Decided to order from here last night after seeing it had the best reviews out of the 3 Chinese restaurants in Hedge-end Village, but unfortunately my partner has woken up with a very bad stomach this morning. We ordered egg fried rice, which had about 3 pieces of egg in it - very disappointing. Plus the rice looked more boiled than fried. The prawn crackers were stale, thin & chewy. Not crunchy like you’d expect. And definitely not what you want for £3.20 a bag! The crispy shredded beef was good at the time as was the chicken Curry and Salt & Pepper chips, however maybe one of these dishes has given my partner a bad stomach so can’t exactly say they were great… Finding a menu online wasn’t the easiest thing either, luckily a customer had uploaded a picture of it - a website with a PDF would’ve been much easier! It’s Cash only for delivery & collection too, not the most convenient thing. We will be ordering from Hong Kong Garden or China Town next time.

Absolutely, hands down, the best chinese around. Fantastic quality, great taste and not too greasy. Friendly staff and great food. What's not to love? If you've not tried it, you are missing out. 😋

Absolutely brilliant food! Staff are great and food is always quick and tastes delicious!

Absolutely spot on every time I order. 10/10

Lovely Chinese food. We’ve been using it for a few years now and have never had a bad meal. One thing, please get a website as I’m not on Facebook. Hedge send Kebab near by has a very good system of ordering food online. Other than that keep up the good work!

First visit to Wok Hard and very impressed. Food was good and Staff were great. Could not fault and will use again.

Best Chinese I’ve ever had! Food always tastes fresh and the portion sizes are great! Highly recommend

Shredded chilli beef and young chow rice. Absolutely delicious. Very quick and friendly service.

Amazing!!!! Staff are soooo friendly. Food amazing, honestly the best Chinese food I have ever had, always fresh and hot.

Food order we won’t be repeating I have since also spoken to a family member also unhappy with food order they used to be our go to and would always have recommended but will NOT be returning or recommending.

Currently my NO.1 Chinese. I love the food here and the staff have always been friendly and quick with orders

Best food in the area, can't wait to get our almost weekly delivery from this place. Singapore rice noodles are delicious crispy shredded chicken in chilli sauce amazing chicken balls chicken curry we have tried a good variety of there dishes and have been delighted with everything. Sometimes a wait for phone and delivery but this shows you how busy they are and doesn't negatively effect my review one bit.

Used to rate this place but has started to go downhill. Portions have got really small and food has been cold on the last few orders. Tried to ring to complain and sat on hold for 15 mins. Disappointing.

This take-away is open on Mondays when most other Chinese take-aways are closed. But I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. I was not disappointed. The food was fresh, tasty and with good portions, and the girl on the serving desk was cheerful and efficient.

Tried this place as another local Chinese has gone down hill recently. This was more expensive than most, but hoped cost would reflect in taste. It didn’t sadly. Shredded chilli beef without any actual chilli sauce and a watery flavourless satay. £30 for two rice, two very average, naff mains and a side. Won’t be coming again sorry. Polite on the phone, and delivered in good time, just let down by the main event

Tasty delicious chicken balls, noodles and my new favourite dish, beef with mushrooms Really impressed ! Only downside no free prawn crackers

Best Chinese! Staff are friendly

Best Chinese we've had in 5 years. Also possibly furthest travelled for great take out, we live up near John o Groats Highlands of Scotland. So good we had to have 2 meals in 3 days. Any time they decide to do a postal delivery service, we'll sign up. Great service, tasty, well cooked and good price.

Tasty food as always. Moved area and will always drive to collect.

Love this place. The food always tastes so nice and fresh. Portion sizes are very good and the staff are always polite and helpful.

Once again excellent food,fast service friendly staff good prices,regularly have food from this takeaway simply brilliant

This is the best Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had in 40 years, they are so few and far between these days, either very average or very poor, but Me and my dad who is very fussy about takeaways of any kind love this place & have been using the hard wok since opened, and to be honest anyone who can write a bad review of this food don’t know what they are eating, everything I’ve had on the menu is cooked to perfection, the portions are generous, and the prices are so good for the quality, such a clean tasty excellent takeaway, I would never go anywhere else, and lovely people too, my friend works here sometimes and echos everything I’ve stated !!!

Chow mein was bang on 🍜. Satay chicken absolute treat 🐔. Dumplings proper tasty 🥟. Highly recommend, but prefer it not to be too busy after this review as I like the Wok Hard service - so please be considerate.

Yummy food. Friendly staff and quick service

Best Chinese take out I've ever had 👍

Brilliant customer service with a quick delivery time and excellent food.

Absolutely amazing food! Brilliant service and very friendly

This place is a victim of its own success been left on hold for 30 minutes trying to place a delivery order absolutely shocking customer service bet their getting money for the call as well!!

Another great meal for 6 from Hard Wok in Hedge End. Delivered in the 1/2 hour as stated. Arrived hot, and was very tasty. Best ever Chinese, will always get our Chinese from here.

Good food and reasonable price

Brilliant and very tasty meal. Fantastic spare ribs , beef curry and special fried rice, with exquisite pork chow mein and prawns in batter. Definitely the tastiest Chinese takeaway I have had in years.

Love this place food was fantastic

Used tonight after a recommendation from a friend, happy to say the food was extremely good. Soup was one of the best I’ve had and the curry was full of chunky chicken. Delivery was about 45 minutes or so as they said so no complaints.

Anniversary meal ordered over the phone for a Saturday night very prompt delivery food excellent and reasonably priced,would highly recommend

Was a pretty good Chinese. Not the best I've had but top 10

Best Chinese for take away I've been too. Drive from Park Gate to get ours from here because we've got nothing that compares.

Food was great value and hot . My visitors from Bristol said one of the best they have had also very friendly staff always happy 😊

Best Chinese in Southampton probably UK very friendly staff 👌

Absolutely spot on best Chinese food I've eaten in years friendlyservice and top quality food try for yourself. Very content

Amazing food, possibly one of the best takeout iv had in a while

Food here is amazing but you'll never get it as you can't get through. I've had 3 phones calling, non got answered. Cut off after 16 mins then called back cut off again 16 mins later. What a joke, this has been going on for months. Get more people on the phones!!

Had a Chinese for 6 - food brilliant would definitely order again. Elaine Horner

Really good asian food. Every time great and fast service and meal is always delicious. And their spare BBQ ribs are awesome. 😁

We placed an order tonight and what we had the chicken was like rubber they have gone down in my experience and this isn’t the first time

This has to be the best Chinese take away in Southampton. Tonight was our first time we have eaten from this place but it won’t be our last. Many thanks see you soon.

Was told by a few people a while ago Hard Wok was good. We ordered take away & collected, one of the worst i have had for a while. Spicy chicken was like rubber, tough as old boot & very dried up. Chefs special ribs, meat (what there was) was tough, & more grissle than meat, noodles looked dead, must have been prepared long ago. Beef in black sauce was ok. Wont be going there any more, very dissapointed.

BEST CHINESE TAKEOUT IN SOUTHAMPTON !

Phoned up to place an order for delivery the first time I called I was put on hold for 20 mins and no one answered then I hung up and called again for the second time and was on hold again for another 20 mins. I have had food from here before and regularly usually good but sometimes it can be better but I don’t appreciate that I was on hold for 40 mins and this isn’t the first time this has happened either. I can understand that they can be busy but to be put on hold for 40 mins just takes the mick really. Very disappointed

Always brilliant quick service. The food we order is hot and delicious. We won't be going anywhere else.

Great food and great people. We was staying in the area for a few nights and after being let down by the hotel restaurant we couldn't find a decent restaurant. We called and asked if they could cater to our needs. They went above and beyond topped us up with extra tubs to use as makeshift bowls and supplied plastic forks. And the food was amazing👌 highly recommended and slightly disappointed that this amazing Chinese is over 100 miles away from where I live haha. Keep up the good work.

Great quality food. Staff always very welcoming even when really busy. It's a must visit. Box F is a must try along with the chicken fried rice.

I Ordered a £96 delivery last night for a birthday tea for my 7 year old grandson when it arrived there was 2 portions of chicken balls Missing only the sauce arrived I telephoned and politely explained I even apologised for being a nuisance only to be Told I was lying and they had delivered them they also made me pay another £20 for what I had already paid for to have it delivered again if it hadn’t have been his birthday I would not have bothered. Customer service is appalling very sad as we have used them for a long time but never again !!

Yes there is normally a long wait 30-45 mins from order to delivery but everything is cooked fresh and to order. Very accommodating towards food allergies and intolerances. Friendly and helpful staff. Good prices. And always good food portions and flavour.

I've had many takeaways from this Chinese, all of them have been freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. I would say this is the best chinese by far . Well done Tim and your colleagues

just had a beautiful takeaway from here, food is so full of flavour, and portions very generous , fast service too would definitely recommend.

Our first visit and was not dissapointed. Lovely friendly staff, very quick making our food and it was delicious. Loads of flavour and great portion sizes. Will definitely visit again

Long delivery time and part of the food was like warm . Contacted to complain but faced with a very rude lady that couldn't care less and said I was making it up , not very happy with being insinuated as a lier.

One of the best Chinese takeaways I've had.

The food was superb, only thing was the portion sizes were bigger than our appetites. The food was well cooked. Will be going back again without a doubt.

Had a takeaway from here on Friday night. Was staying locally and googled Chinese food and the reviews of this one seemed ok so we went for it. I’m glad we did. Firstly, I don’t think I’ve received as warm a welcome from my own family members as I did when walking through the door of this takeaway. For a split second I thought maybe I knew the lady who greeted me as she did so like an old friend. Secondly, the food was delicious. The spicy chips were full of flavour and spice as was all the other dishes we ordered. The icing on the cake were the prawn crackers. They appeared to be freshly cooked to order and were still hot and crisp when we got home to eat them. I don’t live too far away and can definitely see me returning soon for a repeat experience.

Food was excellent first impression great will go back again.

Had a chinese takeaway from here saturday, very busy and 30 min wait but I take that as a good sign! Good value for money, chicken chow main and chilli beef a highlight, we will be back!

We was here for the weekend and fancied a Chinese can say it was amazing quick delivery on a Saturday

Very poor service I ordered food I didn't receive most of my food and chicken curry is very poor with hard chicken

Top class service and the best Chinese in the area in my opinion.

The best King Prawns I've ever tasted thank you Lovely friendly staff Good service Very quick and very tasty

If you fancy a Chinese takeaway and in the area (or not) this place is my recommendation. Best takeaway I’ve had for a few years. Well worth my 12 mile round trip to collect.

Food was flavourful and well presented. The young lady who served me was polite and helpful! Will be back again.

Chinese within this area was lacking for good quality and reasonable in price this place ticks all boxes! wont ever use any of the others now. Its clean, Freshly prepared and you can taste the difference compared to the others.

We have eaten at Wok Hard several times and it is always tasty and hot. Generally the wait time is 15 minutes although we normally eat before 7pm so it may take longer if you eat later. This is definitely worth a try if you live in the local area as in our opinion it is better than the competition.

I wanted to try here as nearby and excellent reviews. I was not disappointed, hot and tasty takeaway.

Tried this place for the first time last night. Got a good vibe straight away, nice clean premises with friendly staff. Food was really great quality. Price was also very decent. I can see why it's so busy. Just a shame I don't live closer, miles better than my local takeaway.

Have tried countless times to place an order over the phone. But it's on hold constantly. No one ever answers. Find it hard to believe that the phone is constantly in use. I just want a takeaway but always have to order from somewhere else.

Tried this one as we moved in to the area I while back and still had not tried it yet. Got to say was very nice had a king prawn chow main and crispy chilly beef and was really nice there was lots of prawns to the chow main will be using again

Got a chinese from here after moving into area and saw the good reviews so thought we would give it a go. It didn't taste of anything, it was so bland and boring - I have never not bothered saving leftovers before!! They clearly did not 'Wok Hard'.

After telephoning order, paid £2 for delivery, came within 1/2 hour. Hard Wok is only 20 mins walk, but........ 3rd time we’ve eaten Hard Wok. Fantastic Chinese meal. All hot, freshly made. So aromatic and tasty!!! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Really really nice. Good quality, tasty food. Friendly service. Would recommend!!

I’m normally an Indian curry person only because I’ve never enjoyed Chinese but I do have to say it was amazing! Will be back my husband loves a good Chinese and again from Wickham Chinese takeaways rubbish and over priced ! Well done Wok Hard excellent service you deserve all these good comments....

Great Take away, great food, young team that want to please. New to Hedge End, there were many foul rumours suspected of being sour grapes from other food businesses within the village, but they have held firm and earned a good reputation.

Where do I start? A huge thank you to the staff here. They went on and above the remit and delivered to my friend at a hotel locally. The food was beautiful and delivered in a timely fashion. Thank you so so much xxx

Amazing food.quick service best Chinese food around. Great portion size too. Highly recommended

Fantastic takeaway. The boxes are great

Have literally just tried this takeaway tonight after passing many times, and it's fantastic! We shall only be coming here from now on. Lovely staff, great food and fantastic customer service. Highly recommended!!

Rang order into Hard Wok, it was deliver in 1/2 hour. Excellent service. Plenty of food, which was still hot on arrival.

The best Chinese in Hedge End by far. Got a take away and the food was very nice, full of flavour and spice. The Chicken in Kung Po sauce is delicious. A decent Chinese.

Fantastic takeaway. A bit of a drive for us but well worth the effort as it's the best takeaway I've had for a long time.

Over the last few years we have struggled to find a Chinese in the area which is consistently good - until now! We have eaten here 4 times now and every time we have been pleasantly surprised. The food is delicious, reasonable and the combo boxes are a great idea (I find that they encourages less waste whilst still allowing you to have a little bit of various dishes). The crispy shredded chilli beef is delicious! This place is definitely worth making the trip from Eastleigh.

As others have said, this is the best Chinese takeaway in this area by a mile. We have a couple of meals since it opened. One hiccup with a missing meal first time, remedied quickly with profuse apologies and freebies. Fair enough. Since then perfect. A website and online menu would be helpful.

ordered sweet and sour chicken hong kong style in box D and i had about 2 drops of sauce in there! i wish i was joking, deadest chinese ever

The food from Wok Hard (as it is now known) is always absolutely delicious. It’s never greasy or fatty and the flavours are fantastic.

Always top food and top service! Salted and spice chicken........woah! Will be having it again tonight! Can't help but feel a bit sorry for the legendary Hong Kong Garden though. They'll have to pull their socks up to keep up with these guys!

Most definitely the best Chinese food Ive had in a long time! I’ve always struggled to find half decent chinese takeaway in Hedge End or even a takeaway in general, I’ve always had to branch out if I was desperate but I thought Id take the plunge after a friend recommended this place to me. AND I AM SO GLAD I DID! My gosh everything was so full of flavour, cooked to perfection and staff were even better! Catered to my requirements with a smile to serve! Impeccable standards and utterly flawless. Thats my Friday nights sorted.

We are completely bored with the usual unreliable restaurants on Just Eat, and decided to widen our search further to try and find a better standard of Chinese food in Hedge End.

I've ordered a few times and this chinese take away has always been spot on! They're quite busy and so not easy to get through over the phone.

Food and service is brilliant never disappointed, if you haven't give it a try yourself

Absolutely disgusting. Chips cold, rice was half cooked and gave a member of my family food poisoning for 12 days. Ruined our holiday !

Really tasty dishes and quick service - especially liked the king Po chicken. Worth a try and we’ll definitely be back

First time visited. Delicious food. Polite on the phone. No problems. Particularly loved the King Prawns Salted and Chilli. Recommended.

5/5 for customer service and food . Very clean and lovely little shop. Very professional chap on the counter knew what he was doing. Started with something simple .chicken fried rice chips and curry sauce. Can't wait to try something else xxx
