Hot Wok in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

I have used Hot Wok many times, I enjoy their easy to use website ordering and card payment. Every time I have ordered something it has arrived on time if not early. The delivery driver is polite and friendly. The food always arrives hot, over many orders I absolutely loved the food, fresh, tasty and totally worth the money. I only had a small issue once and it was handled with above and beyond professionalism. Highly recommend! The salt and pepper chicken wings are to die for!!

Ordered take away online, for collection. Arrived two minutes before collection, told it will be ready shortly. anded over bang on collection time. Food resonably priced. Enjoyed the cridpy beef. The kung pao was not as good. Staff were pleasent. Would go back.

Absolutely shocking. By far the worst takeaway I have ever received. Flavours were terrible, meat had no taste, and what's with putting vegetables in a chow mean?

Sorry but Just phoned Hot Wok Liskeard Tonight (16/06/2023). They no longer accept credit cards, cash or drop in only. Bloody well lost my faith and orders from now on. Leave well alone as they cannot be bothered to trust a debit card that is valid. five years on they have lost my custom. Well done Hot Wok another customer lost.

From out of the area on holiday and really fancied a night in with a Chinese. Using Trip Advisor we came across this one. Wow! It was amazing. They were generous on the portion sizes and the cost was spot on. Definitely recommend. One thing - it’s cash only. Be prepared as we wasn’t and then had to go looking for a cash point. Not easy when not familiar with the area.

This IS the best Chinese takeaway in Cornwall, Plymouth, Devon and several places in Spain. Please do not doubt, and only enjoy.

I had the king prawns and fresh mushrooms, delicious. All duck dishes are amazing. Singapore rice noodles and king prawn fried rice were great too.

Good menu food delivered hot but sometimes a long time coming so it's worth collecting your order a nice choose of different food from other takeouts

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS Friendly girl on the phone and then when I collected equally friendly front of house. Then extra bonus I found out they’ll deliver to us!!! Will definitely be using HotWok for our Chinese takeaways again. THANK YOU. 😁

Beautiful food, friendly staff, very clean and spacious. A vast array of Chinese food, well prepared and served would recommend

Not our local area, but met with friends and ordered takeout from here. Good fresh food across a selection of dishes (special chow mein and a few sweet and sour dishes)

Ordered a birthday meal this evening: spring rolls -- ok, sweet and sour chicken -- barely tolerable, chicken chow mein -- wouldn't feed this to my dogs (and really didn't). The meal was twenty minutes late but we weren't too concerned about that as they said at the outset that they couldn't guarantee a time. However, the quality of food was -- not to put too fine a point on it -- disgusting. The chicken in the chow mein was slimy, like slug slimy, or eel slimy, or long-dead animal slimy, and totally unpalatable. TBH I was on the verge of contacting the Food Standards Agency (and yet might) as this 'stuff' was not fit for human consumption. I genuinely refused to feed it to my dogs, much to their disappointment (trust me dogs, I saved you a night of gastric discomfort). Called for a refund and received an inquisition about which bits were ok and which bits weren't and how much of each of each we had eaten, none of which was relevant to us as we did not want to spend the rest of the birthday evening analysing the quality (or not) of every single mouthful. Eventually they promised a refund for the chow mein (we await receipt of this, it had better arrive). In years gone by this was the best Chinese takeaway in the area, I can only wonder what 'Renaissance' means in their takeaway world but I'd substitute the word with 'Road Kill' or some such. Will never even think about a takeaway from this establishment again.

Ordered a takeaway meal and was told it would be 5 minutes. They were busy taking phone orders while I waited. It came after 15 to 20 minutes. I’m staying just around the corner and when I plated up the food it was not at all hot. I think they had forgotten me with all the phone orders. Didn’t really enjoy the food, especially since I had a steaming hot takeaway from their competitor around the corner the previous day.

Really good food. Well presented. Worth a visit if only for the lovely smile from the beautiful Asian girl!

Best chinese takeaway we have had in a long time Good food and fast service had aslection of dishes chicken duck all very tasty will return next time in the area

Tried Hot Wok after problems with another takeaway in town. Always had a good, hot delivery and quality of food is excellent. Phone staff should be used to train so called customer services at large companies.

I've lived in Liskeard a long time and the HW used to be excellent. Not anymore. I've had a few dishes over the past few months and they're always disappointing. The curry in particular is awful. It's a weird red colour, is only mildy spicy and has absolutely no flavour whatsoever.

so i just moved to liskeard and wanted to treat myself, i was going to order from the other chinease in liskeard but they only take cash or bank transfer, which only means one thing, so i tried hot wok, and wish i had not.. i ordered 2 beef currys and 2 large egg fried rice and 1 sweet and sour chicken ball's, the chicken ball's were under cooked not crispy, the curry was a mix of chinease and asian i wanted chinease !, and the fried rice looked like brown rice and was super dry, and it cost me £27.10 i will not use them again :(

Price was average food was so dry had to swig water with every bite really disappointing as I spent 25 pounds and didn’t even receive prawn crackers won’t b ordering here again il stick to the proper Chinese up road

Lovely crispy chilli beef but sweet and sour chicken balls were not as crispy as I would have preferred. 3 meat rice was tasty and honey ribs were good. Went to collect it and it had been put to go out on a delivery for some reason. Lucky I got there when I did else who knows where it would have gone! Not bad, not amazing.

Ordered a take away and not used this restaurant before - had a mixture of dishes - generous portions including lots of king prawns, non fatty meats, non greasy dishes including the prawn crackers- not a lover of Chinese food but think I have become a fan - very good would recommend.

We we staying about three miles outside Liskeard and, after a 350 mile drive down to Cornwall, we ordered a takeaway from here. I called them at 6pm on a Saturday and the food arrived at 7.45 which was way beyond the time we expected to wait. The food was delicious though and I will give the food 5 stars, however I knocked one off to reflect our whole experience.

Came down here after a long shift with my peter and I am absolutely traumatised and shaking after my experience. This place was recommended to me by alot of folk so I decided I would give it the benefit of the doubt (baring in mind I am a woman of class and feel ashamed after even entering this building).I tried the Hot Wok special fried rice and oh my golly gosh. The sauce was so sticky and dripping all over the shop. It stained my clothing. The taste was similar to mouldy sour cottage cheese. I never even want to think about the taste again.Big thumbs down from me 100%

We were staying at the Premier inn, Liskeard and as there was not many restaurants open due to COVID-19 restrictions we decided to have takeaway. We drove there, very narrow, steep streets and quite difficult to find but worth it in the end. The food was fabulous and such reasonable prices. Great value and highly recommended.

Had the most delicious meal for four .The food was excellent. Service was 10 out 10 Highly recommend

Cannot fault the food but what you explain over the phone isn't what you can expect. Not sure if it's the call handler or delivery driver who dont listen as they blame each other on what has gone wrong. Get it right guy's.

Great food. The delivery took longer than expected. Was told 45 mins but was over an hour & 15 mins...its ok though was worth the wait :) and they got it wight

Excellent takeaway meal restored my faith in Chinese food after some awful meals elsewhere. Shame I don’t live nearer to visit regularly.

2nd Order in the last few months and once again order was wrong .first time we had a different meal from what we ordered this time it was a meal missing too late to do anything about it as everyone else had their meals so shared what we had

Tried ringing today as it's my husband's birthday. They kept hanging up on us and laughing. So not even going to bother trying to order food from here again. Rude. Thanks a lot for ruining our plans.

I went here with the girlfriend and we were very impressed with the food. The place is more of a takeaway place so we thought it would be standard quality, it's much better than that though, especially the appertisers! If you go there definitely don't miss out on the appertisers; they best I've ever had. The staff are also very attentive and helpful too!

One night stay over and looking for a pit stop, early at 6pm so no one in the restaurant , menu has a good selection , the food was served quickly and was hot and tasty , the chicken was a bit rubbery but good. The chilli beef was nice . Service was ok although it was early and no atmosphere

Amazing views over the Hoe and Plymouth sound. Have used this restaurant for many times over the years and the food is consistently good as is the service.

Staying in the area, made a good choice ordering from here. Food hot and tasted lovely, we ordered the special fried rice and ordered the red sauce separate, it was a lovely barbecue sauce. Chips were reheated but most are, reasonably priced.

If you can get past the grotty looking outside and less than plush interior you’ll be totally blown away by the food. We travelled 50 minutes to eat here whilst on holiday, which was worth every minute.They do a £12.50 a head buffet and you can have anything off the menu freshly cooked. Great deal.We highly recommend the crispy salt and chilli king prawn starter, the satay chicken, the king prawns with cashew nuts. In fact everything we had.We’ll worth the trip. Foods to die for.

We went as a group of 6 - And chose from the Buffet Menu. Every dish was delicious, really well cooked and tasty. We'll definitely go back. Highly recommended.

Second takeaway in a couple of weeks and was not let down. I asked for extra chilli and they delivered. All the food was great and was really happy. Well done.

Turned up 45 mins late, no apologie and no compensation towards the fact it was delivered so late... ribs were hard and food was only warm not hot... not impressed

Staying nearby for a few days and fancied a Chinese but didn’t want takeaway. Hot Wok had ok reviews so decided to give it a go. At 6pm on a Saturday we were the only diners so the atmosphere was lacking but the takeaway was busy. Decor needs a bit of work but the staff were friendly and the food was good. Mixed starter was very tasty. Reasonable prices.

Went to this restaurant for a buffet in the evening, don't be put off by the venue as the food was excellent, all freshly cooked and bought out after ordering so not lying around under heat lamps, you can keep ordering so can try a wide variety.

Had a take-away from here on a Sunday evening and can honestly say I have never had a better Chinese in my life, the food was very fresh and the portion sizes were very generous. On top of that I got plenty of food for 3 people for only £40 and it took less than 15mins to be ready

I ordered some takeaway whilst away with work and I must say the food is superb and I would definitely recommend 👍🏻. Chicken curry, special fried rice and pancake rolls were one of the tastiest Chinese takeaways I’ve had 👍🏻

We had the all you can eat buffet. The food was lovely and fresh and although small portions you could just ask for another portion. We’ve eaten at loads of Chinese restaurants and we all felt the food was great. The restaurant itself is run down inside and out so did put us off, but we are glad we took the risk.

My children have never tried Chinese food before. The waitress was calm, helpful and patient. When the food arrived ( 2 rice dishes, a noodle dish and a beef and a duck dish) it was steaming hot and delicious. My dad mentioned the duck was cooked better than his Thai wife does! The meal was a. success with everyone, thank you very much.

Staying in North Cornwall, but not wanting to go further north for a meal, we tried Hot Wok in Liskeard for an eat-in meal. The mixed starter was tasty, the Peking Duck with pancakes was excellent, and the main courses were all perfect. The service was very friendly, and they were happy for us to bring home our leftovers. They are very busy with take-always, but we were given great service and made to feel very welcome. Recommended restaurant for a reliable Chinese meal.

There aren't many places that can deliver your Chinese takeaway as hot and tasty as this did on a Sunday night in the middle of rural Cornwall. Excellent food and reasonable service

Contacted them about our recent food order but they are not bothered about complaints once they have your money. Food came but was so cold it had to be warmed up in the microwave, I contacted them privately, they saw said message & nothing back. Caveat emptor is a term that means "let the buyer beware." food 3* service 1*

Good value buffet, all freshly cooked and served at your table pipping hot. Good service and no waiting.

Thought we would try this place as we love Chinese food we ordered 3 dishes to take away one chicken chow main the noodles were dry hardly any sauce on the meal and the chicken well it looked like it could have been any white meat it was slimy and tasteless my partner had beef curry not a complaint about that we also had sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style that could have done with more pineapple and peppers in it mostly sauce and few bits of chicken don’t think would try anything else just one more Chinese takeaway to try in liskeard now as tried the rest it’s disappointing that none of the rest can get tasty dishes made with good flavours and decent meat

I use to eat here, a lot. But after the last few times never again. Food turning up over 2 hours than they said, wrong food, poor customer service. Now you can’t even pay by card?! Gave it a last chance.....

Liskeard never seems to have a take away that stays consistent. Food is ok, mediocre typical take away. The service is my main issue. The telephone manner of staff is appalling. Holding 2 separate conversations most of the time and not listening to what you say. Told 45 minute delivery time to a local village, 3 phone calls later, 2 lots of lies and then one complaint and we still had to pay for the delivery. Tonight we thought we’d try collection, to get there and be told they don’t accept card after 1st January?? Would have been useful to be told when the order was placed. It’s not like there’s a cash point near by...

Not long moved to area, looking for decent chinese, found this place, even deliver, excellent...good value too..

The staff are very helpful and lovely. The food is always hot and full of flavor. Best Chinese in Liskeard.

This take away is always top quality and delivered promptly and food is hot when received Highly recommend the aromic duck wraps and all the chow mein dishes

Ordered a take away to be delivered which would take 45 mins to arrive. Food arrived within minutes of the estimated time and was still piping hot. The food was all delicious from the lemon chicken to the me goreng. I would recommend any of the beef dishes where the beef was really tender and without any fat or gristle. Our guest from up north said it was one of the best he'd had and he has tried a good few.

From outside (and inside to be honest) it doesn't look much, but you know what they say about judging on appearance. The menu is extensive and we were there on a buffet night - fixed price and order as much as you like from the buffet menu (also lots on it). The food was great with lots of vegetarian options. We'd go back.

The food and service make this restaurant worth a visit, but it is very small and cramped.

Ordered a takeaway for 2 on a sunday early evening to which we waited over an hour ( we are not really botherd about this as it was a weekend) BUT When the food turned up the food was stone cold and where some of the food had got cold it had conjealed and was inedible.

Lovely staff and great food! I've been eating from this takeaway for months now and not once have I ever been disappointed with the service! Every delivery arrives piping hot so I'm always sure to tip the men since nobody down here tends to which is a shame. Food is delicious and almost always on time, definitely recommend!

Been visiting here for a few months and haven't had a bad order. Food is always delightful and the staff is absolutely lovely, such nice girls always making the experience nicer and feel appreciated as a customer. Would definitely 100% recommend :D

My partner and myself have been going here for ages, but tonight they have excelled in every way they possibly could. Due to having stomach cancer my diet is very limited at the moment, the staff were very helpful in helping me find something i could eat and put together a special menu for me. Highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Always very decent, tasty food from here. I have an allergy to shellfish and they made sure my food was cooked where no seafood had been cooked before .The eat in restaurant could do with a bit more ambience.

So we ordered a takeaway and first of all the rice was burnt. Why even serve the rice. Could you not see the black burnt bits. It ruined my dinner and I had to cook some rice. The spring rolls where bland.Overall the food was poor.

Ordered takeaway, crispy duck was crispy looked like it had been over done in the deep fat fryer almost black, and dry! Other than that rest of order good quality and ready for collection on time.

Visited here with family just as a walk in no reservation service and food was very good.Had a takeaway since wasn't disappointed with the quality or quantity of the dishes.Duck was succulent Took the recommendation of the owner on the ribs..peking ribs delicious. Noodles and rice tasty.

What a shame! Thought we'd give this a try for take away. Ordered crispy beef, chicken balls, egg fried rice and curry, instead we received 2 curries and no crispy beef. I only really enjoyed the chicken balls... sorry.

Food ok, nothing special. Chicken was not nice in the chow mein, beef in black bean sauce was ok. Service was quick and friendly.

Good food, good staff with okay restaurant xxWhilst visiting Liskeard wasn't sure where to eat, fancied a Chinese meal so chose here...Read some mixed reviews....Surprised by the delicious food and great service....Lovely ladies xxThe restaurant feels unfortunately grubby although okay....Get rid of the wipeable table cloths, get new cutlery and use white napkins and sort out a good scrub.Maybe the staff and owners should experience as customers...

good food, although sometimes better than others but never had a bad meal from here despite what people say

I have used this resturant since it opened, last time last Sunday 30 Oct 2016. Food was as usual fine. So what has happend to be given ZERO by the Council Inspectors?

A small restaurant that is also a takeaway. there are not many tables for eat in. We ordered a few dishes and the food was good. Decoration of the restaurant is simple, but I suppose good food is more important. The night we were there we noticed that the restaurants business catered mostly to takeaway, either in person or by telephone. They also do delivery service. Service is prompt and friendly.

fantastic meal loads of different dishes, service was great really great staff massive portions will return

Great food, service and value for money all rolled into one. Once you find somewhere decent it's best to stick with it. I won't be going anywhere else for oriental take aways.

I've been eating at and from the Hot Wok since I moved to Cornwall well over a decade ago. Back then they were based in what is now the Eliot House Hotel and were a restaurant that did takeaway; now they are essentially a takeaway with a small restaurant attached.I suppose we have a meal on average every 2-3 weeks. The children like the honey ribs and the sweet & sour chicken balls; I like the roast duck with plum sauce; and my vegetarian wife has plenty of choice. Because we live in the middle of nowhere, I invariably collect and don't always ring the order through in advance; waiting times are usually quite short - just long enough to have a quick glance at the Cornish Times and a bit of banter with the staff. My Chinese takeaway of choice in the Liskeard / Lostwithiel / Looe area.

Staying in liskeard on holiday and ordered a takeaway from here. I have to say, this was the best takeaway we have ever had an we were very impressed by the menu choices.Delicious good, great value for money and quick delivery. By far worth every penny. Will be keeping a menu for next year....

Food was nice and brought out very quickly. Restaurant could do with updating and maybe some music playing to improve the atmosphere.

We booked to go to Hot Wok on our holiday and when we booked the lady who had taken the booking didn't even ask for our name???When we arrived the floor was sticky (mine and my friends shoes was sticking to the floor!) The delivery men were slumped in the chair directly when you walked in and the restaurant smelt funny! The soy sauce had fruit flies floating in it! We didn't even order a drink and walked out. Definitely do not recommend this restaurant.

Lovely Chinese, only in the past 6 months we have jumped ship and defiantly will be keeping the anchor down at this one. Food is cooked to perfection and nothing gets missed. Service is top notch aswell. Keep up the good work.

We're regular customers and often get a meal delivered. It's always well cooked, fresh and good quality. They're really friendly too! Recommended!

I have used this take away for a number of years, good portion size and dishes are good. All in all a good Chinese takeaway,

Good choice of meals friendly staff overall a pretty good Chinese and we would visit again and seemed busy which is a good sign

The Home delivery is always on or before arranged, the menu is very varied and the staff are very freindly. Payment is quick and easy and the food is high quality.

Being new to the area the first thing we did was try and find the best takeaways! We tried Hot Wok first and found it to be everything we wanted from a Chinese takeaway. Fast and friendly service and delicious food. They offer tofu options which as a vegetarian I love and it's a big reason we prefer them to others in town.

A Take Out & Eat In basic Chinese. Definitely basic. But Staff welcoming. Food very average. Starter, Main & Glass of Wine £24.

This is the take-away we favour having tried many others. The quality of the food seems consistent and - as far as we can tell - has more in common with genuine Chinese dishes than many other so-called Chinese take-aways. 'Hot' dishes are clearly labelled and the range of dishes available is impressive. The staff are always obliging and endeavour to produce one's order in the shortest possible time although, of course, there are 'peak times'. A good and reliable delivery service operates.

We have tryed this place twice. Other local takeaways are better. Maybe try to hard and forget the basics.

Serves good quality basic Chinese food, does an all you can eat on Wednesday and Thursday evenings for under £15 food cooked to order staff friendly. Does good quality take away as well

We use this restaurant regularly, mostly to sit in rather than take away. Good service, food consistently good. Restaurant can be chilly, we always find dishes we really like so don't understand the poor reviews . We once loaded on them a group of 14 people, and they pushed available tables together and we had a lovely family meal on spec!

Just moved to area and tried this place, the ladies behind counter were lovely, unfortunately the same can't be said about the food. Bland. We both didn't finish the meal and won't be rushing back. Not the cheapest either.

The waitress was lovely. The food was fine, but it was clear that nothing was fresh, but frozen modules added together and then cooked. Because of this it isn't my favourite place for an evening out.

I was anxious about trying this place after reading some bad reviews but I was very pleasantly surprised. We ordered from the take away menu and the food was served quickly and by courteous staff. The food was delicious and so fresh and full of flavour. Will definitely get food from here again. If you want a Chinese take away in Liskeard make sure you get it from here!

We have been eating from hot wok for 2and a half years, we have always had a pleasant meal and the staff, including the delivery staff are always very polite and happy. Thank you.

So enjoyed this meal, the setting is not amazing but my food was. The tables may be set with plastic cloths, but the food was so enjoyable

We found this place on the internet whilst looking for a Chinese takeaway in Liskeard. We were greeted by a pleasant young lady who took our order. We returned 10/15 minutes later and our food was ready, it was delicious. We ordered a combo start (Hot Wok Special) rice, noodles, chicken chow mein and pineapple chicken. All of which were hot and tasty. We would definitely use again.

We stopped off at the Hot Wok one evening whilst in Cornwall on holiday. Ordered takeaway, which was really tasty. Chow mein, chicken balls and satay lovely. Chicken fried rice and crispy duck perhaps not quite so gd but nonetheless we all enjoyed. Would try again if in the area. Very friendly service.

Booked a table on a Wednesday evening which was an 'all you can eat' buffet night. Arrived to find 3 teenagers behind the takeaway counter which is connected to the restaurant plus two young guys who I think were the takeaway delivery people sitting around. We were shown to a table in an empty restaurant, alarm bells started to ring. The young girl then took our drinks order which was two glasses of coke, she then went to the small drinks bar in the corner of the restaurant and poured two glasses from a warm 2litre bottle. I then asked how the menu worked & she said we were only allowed to order one starter at a time.....very disappointing as I wouldn't really want a whole plate of crispy seaweed but maybe a small amount of a few things perhaps?! She left us to look at the menu and decide on our one choice of starter. As we sat on our table we noticed the bottle of soy sauce had a party of fruit flies in it. I immediately gathered our things & told them we were leaving and why. The young girl took the soy sauce and tipped it into a plastic container and tried to say the flies were not in the bottle but trapped between the bottle & label. We saw 5-6 buzzing around inside the bottle. Totally put me off and I couldn't stay. They clearly cannot afford to keep the restaurant running so my advise, close the restaurant & focus on the takeaway! Would not recommend for dining in!

we visited the Hot Wok for an evening meal quite a good meal not too expensive similar menu to to most chinese not a lot of atmosphere

Was OK, duck was quite chewy and was mostly fat. Pork chow mein was nice. Portion sizes were good and filling. Service was good.

Been here to eat in many times. Food is very good with friendly service. No too long a wait for food to be served. A favourite restaurant of my son's too.

They have a very varied menu, the food is delicious, I especially like the 3M rice, I'm very lucky becuase in Liskeard I have 3 takeaways covering 3 different cuisines, and they are all excellent
