Just Wok in Cherwell

After selecting this restaurant thro Deliveroo following our usual restaurant closed, I have to say, I will most definitely be ordering from this restaurant again. Food was delivered super quick . Ingredients looked and tasted fresh. Really great flavours. Whilst a little more expensive than others, its definitely a case of you get what you pay for. Very happy with our meal. Highly recommend

Truly the worst "thai" food I've ever tried to eat. Large chunks of pineapple, gloopy sweet sauce, and nothing even close to anything resembling food from Thailand. Awful beyond words.

I just took delivery of one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. Mass produced, prepackaged take away meals. The food was quite terrible and we’ve had to throw 85% of it away - For the price I was hoping it would be good but the quality was no where near to the price tag. Disappointed!

Waited 2 hours for food, rang to chase up the delivery to be given attitude by the person on the other end of the phone, who said they only received the order 25 minutes ago, and ‘would we like them to sort our order or would we prefer to stay on the phone’. Disgusting service, still no idea when food will turn up. First time using, and absolutely last time!

Always fantastic meals! Love their prawns the serve, always full of flavour!

We love Just Wok. Great food and offer a large variety on the menu. We have tried quite a few dishes on many occasions, and never disappointed. The lady who runs Just Wok is always friendly and helpful. Sometimes the waiting times have been slightly long, but she always lets us know, and it just shows how good it is (advise to get there earlier on Friday & Saturday nights). Thank you

If your expecting chilli in your chilli ,salt and pepper chicken then your be disappointed. Chilli powder is used and it tastes like chicken balls with garlic. Offered a credit note and told if they used chilli then they would get complaints of to hot !. Sooo why order chilli then ?. Think I will stick to pawpaw.

Amazing food (restaurant quality) & great service too. I've been to pretty much all the takeaways in Banbury and haven't been anywhere else since I found Just Wok. Thank you.

I got to this restaurant every week and it's AMAZING! The food is lovely and high quality meat and veg. The owner really cares about the food and customer service.

It's our first time ordering from here but had heard some good reviews so thought we would try it, everything had the same dodgy after taste of old oil, the crispy chicken in honey tasted burnt and was covered in something that was more like soy sauce rather than honey, the rice was brown, dry and stale like and our vegetable chow main had old mushrooms in that were cold and chewy, and the satay sauce taste soapy, very disappointed, waste of time and money

Disgusting! Very very greasy. Food was bland and was not fresh. It was cooked before hand and then reheated and re-fried. Had a little bit of the food but had to throw it away, made me and my partner feel sick!

Always excellent quality. Never fails to impress!

i like chinese food a lot in fact its my go to take away the only reason i fond that the food is good is because i started working their . for a family run business its amazing .SHOP HERE IT IS SO AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Restaurant quality food - amazing. Parking right outside and amazing service. The food is delicious and tons of premium meat and veg in large portion sizes. I can't fault this place it's the best around.

Lovely ladies, friendy faces alwYs smiling and always nice! Never had a issue the food is great and a good price too! Also parking is free and you can park directly outside there shop to collect food. Even contactless payment through the window, because of lockdown which is clever!

Just wok never disappoints! Ordered a takeaway for me and my family on New Year’s Eve, obviously because of lockdown everyone was ordering takeaway so it was very busy! Had to wait 20 minutes but I didn’t mind at all because the food is always beautiful and always receive great service! Sometimes we have to be patient and wait and there’s nothing wrong with that! Hats off to the chef for making our New Years great with her delicious food!

disgusted by the service we were waiting for one hour, we kept calling after 1 hour no answers and after two h we found out that the order was cancelled 😡

Once again had a fantastic takeaway meal from this lovely Chinese takeaway, lovely authentic food, lovely friendly lady who seems to to do everything, from taking orders, front of house and cooking . She’s absolutely amazing...makes time to welcome everyone and service with a smile .Highly recommend .

Wouldn't order from here food took almost 2 hours to get to us no one answers the phone, although they have added two numbers available on their website but no one to help you when you call. Would not recommend if you want your food to be with you quickly.

Fantastic food always deliverd on time by the most friendly and polite dilvery driver top marks all round

Ordered a delicious meal tonight, everything fresh and cooked to perfection as always. A prompt and friendly service was provided and I was reassured by the Covid measures that were in place and of course the 5 star hygiene rating. Thanks very much, I'll be certain to call again.

Never disappoints. Lovely Polite staff serving delicious quality food. The best Chinese food takeaway in Banbury.

Good local Chinese. The owner is a very good person too and very customer focused.

Haven’t had a takeaway since the start of lockdown so decided to get one from here. Have eaten here numerous times and the owners are absolutely lovely. Always so polite and helpful. However when I rang to place my order I was greeted over the phone by a very blunt/ unenthusiastic young English lady. She was so unhelpful over the phone, just kept rudely saying “yep”. I even had to tell her that was all I wanted because she didn’t even ask if I wanted anything else she just went silent. What kind of customer service is this? Never even said thank you either. Didn’t tell me how much my order was, and after she went silent for 30 seconds I eventually told her that was all I wanted and waited for her to tell me how long it would be before I could collect. She went silent again so I said “how long will that be?” She then said “I’m not sure”???? How do you expect me to know when to come and collect my chinese if you don’t even have a rough estimate of how long it will take?! She then told me she would ask someone else, so I sat and waited for about 3/4 minutes before you eventually came back to the phone ( did not even apologise for making me wait) and rudely said “40 minutes”. She didn’t even ask me for my name until I said “do you need my name?” She then said “oh yes I do”, I’m sorry but if she is a new member of the team then she seriously needs some more training on how to talk to customers over the phone! I was disgusted and even thought about cancelling my order. It was even worse when I came to pick it up, she didn’t even smile or even say hello to me! She just looked at me and waited for me to speak. Appalling customer service. I hope she really does get some more training because she is definitely putting your customers off! I’ve been ordering from you since you first opened and usually order once/twice a month. I really do not think I will be ordering again.

Brilliant, first class food and service.

Ordered tonight with a 30 min wait but when we went to collect it was closer to an hour ( ordered at 5.50 so not last) Chicken balls were not edible, tough and couldn’t bite through, rice old and crunchy and noodles hard in a clump, all looked old. Very disappointed. Avoid

We recently moved to the Banbury area, tried a few of the different takeaways and this is by far our favourite. Absolutely lovely service, I would highly recommend.

Lovely food. Excellent service. Our favourite take away

We absolutely love it here, we wouldn’t use any other Chinese! The owner is so friendly and so accommodating. The food is all freshly cooked and tastes delicious, highly recommend the honey chicken balls which is our favourite dish.

Amazing food, perfect customer service and always a smile.

We ordered a take away yesterday and it was awful. My son said his rice tasted odd, and when I tried it I spat t out it was so bad. Fried rice should not be completely dry and all it tasted and smelt of was of was plastic. I can only presume it was and old batch that had been re-heated in the container it came in. As for the sweet and sour chicken balls, they looked large and ok from the outside but at least half were too tough to cut through with a knife. When I opened them the chicken was also hard and dry. I won't be using this take away again. Shame as the website and other reviews looked good.

If you want delicious and fresh chinese, this is place to order. Living in the neighbouring town we unfortunately do not qualify for delivery but this place is worth the travel. To our delights they reopened during COVID-19, following strict social distancing guidelines, and is even offering 19% off which is amazing! We always enjoy the bbq ribs in bbq sauce as well as the delicious salt and pepper chicken! Rice and chow meins are always extremely fresh tasting and of high quality! Can you give me your spring roll recipe as it’s my favourite . Thanks for all that you’re doing for the community (and neighbouring ones!) to bring a bit of normality!

Best Chinese meal I have had in a long time. I fancied a change from my usual place. Lots of flavour and large portion sizes.

Great service, brilliant selection, fantastic food.

Food very greasy, egg fried rice was burnt..

Fantastic service lovely food and all cooked fresh makes a difference eating freshly prepared dishes crispy duck a favourite for me. Would definitely recommend just wok. See you all again soon. Neil keyhand locksmiths.

These guys are the best takeaway in town. Fresh ingredients, freshly prepared and lite on monosdium glutamate! No seating but great to eat at home. Service is always with a smile too!

Love this place!! Chef is so great and friendly, with a lot of choice on the menu

Best Chinese in Banbury by far! So fresh and the staff are lovely too 😁

Sadly I can only offer 1 star and would opt for no stars after waiting over an hour without any form of apology or even offer of a refund, very poor service and no excuse for it! And it seemed we weren’t the only ones waiting! Won’t be returning!

Meal was lovely First class service first time used just wok. would definitely use them again.noodles were not greasy like some places.sweet sour chicken was lovely most places are more batter than chicken but they were crispy and delicious.one comment like to make ordered Thai green chicken.but had beef instead but even if was slight problem after ate it decided like chicken and beef Thai curry.so will order again.

Great food once again ready for when they said and good price

Great food+ service lovely lady highly recommend.

The shop is 5 star rated, very clean, staff a welcoming and friendly, this was the first time I have used this takeaway, on this occasion I ordered Special Deal A this meal was for 2 people ( Crispy Aromatic Duck, Sliced Beef and Black Bean Sauce, Sweet and Sour Chicken Hong Kong style, Egg Fried Rice, Chips and Vietnamese Prawn Crackers) This set meal was piping hot, Vegetables were chunky and crispy. I also ordered Vietnamese Mixed Vegetable Curry with Boiled Rice, again piping hot, very tasty my Daughter loved it. cant wait for my second visit>

Excellent Chinese takeaway, with friendly service and good value. My Thai chicken curry was the best I have ever had from a Chinese takeaway and was certainly chilli hot enough!

Always good food and on time Polite service, great menu I love it Worth a try and easy to park right outside

Omg! Honestly the best, freshest Chinese ever the lady in there is wonderful, food ALWAYS amazing, will adapt any dish to suit you, everything freshly cooked , I love it! Our absolute fav Chinese. Just wish they were open Monday’s and Tuesdays!! 10/10

We have used this Chinese takeaway a number of times and each time it has been cooked to perfection, always hot and tasty especially the vietnamese curry for me.

Very happy with the service and food. It’s hard to find a good Chinese takeaway that it’s not greasy and offers a nice service. Try it!

This was a large order (£65) and ordered in advance on the phone. Not quite ready when I arrived but they were incredibly busy. Food was all really good. Generous portions and the massaman curry was really memorable. I am impressed and will be coming back

So nice to find a Chinese take away that also caters for Gluten free customers. we really enjoyed all the food we ordered and great service. Thank you Just wok.

Been in the area for just over 6 Months. Tried a few Chinese takeaways in Banbury, nothing stood out. This was my first try at Only Wok, what a result, couldn’t really fault the food. Well done you guys.

A blast from the past. Don’t often get Chinese takeaways. My daughter was visiting and I said yes. The food was really good. Crispy chilli beef, great rice and the most amazing spring rolls that reminded me of the 80’s Chinese chip shop, they are certainly on par with those guys. Spot on.

This is my second review of just wok, and I really can't fault this delightful takeaway, the ladies running this are really friendly and their food is so good. I usually pre order as it can become really busy. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing food, quick and nice service would recommend

Great Chinese takeaway...the best we have found in Banbury. They are quick and friendly and happy to give menu suggestions.

Best authentic Chinese food I have had in a long time and cooked fresh. Love the satay chicken skewers and spring rolls.

Wonderful, high quality Chinese food. A real gem of a takeaway tucked away in Banbury. A must try! Highly recommended.

Love the salt and pepper chicken wings, spring rolls, can’t fault the curry. Will definitely be back!

wife and me used for fist time had 2 house special chow main very dry meat looked like was deep fried. prawns only 1 in 2 dishes and spring rolls Great if you like soggy filo pastry and only full of bean sprouts menu stats crispy pancake rolls not crispy and no meat or prawns in side great if your a veggie very disappointed don't think we will return

Put an order for Two people at 6:10 on a Saturday to be told delivery will be just after 7:30 when they start delivering. 8pm still no delivery text to say another 40 min!!!

I ordered a selction of dishes yesterday and thought everything we ordered amazing.the crispy chilli beef was the best ive ever eaten,the beef curry had a good flavour to it with a nice heat to it also.sweet and sour chicken hong kong style was top draw too.i was recommended this by a friend and was not disappointed.my son also really enjoyed his sweet and sour chicken balls and rice.cant wait untill the next time we order!!!

We popped in for a quick takeaway after a long journey and were very disappointed to find that one of the main dishes was missing, when we got home. This ruined the meal for my husband as all he had was rice and living 15 mins away it was pointless going back. At first I was offered a credit note, then offered a refund for that meal, but I have to go in to get it as they cannot do it over the phone. I should have read all of the bad reviews first as I'm not the only one that has been disappointed with one of the dishes missing. I will not be back.

Having only recently moved to the area, my husband and I thought we would try this take away place. So glad we did! The lady was lovely and made some very good recommendations for food alternatives at no additional cost. When we got home and tried the food, it was devine!

I've been meaning to review this takeaway since trying it when it first opened a couple of years ago.

Jenny’s food is fantastic and excellent value for money. Best Chinese in town! Spring rolls are home made

Been using this chinese since it opened and the food is delicious, always hot and fresh. Our favourites are crispy chilli beef and sweet sour Hong Kong style, the batter is always so light and crisp. Also love the chicken satay,the sauce is amazing!

Top quality food, cooked fresh & very tasty. Best Chinese in banbury by a long way.

Decided to try a takeaway from here for the first time based on the reviews. Still can't decide for sure. Good size portions, fresh tasting but the black bean sauce dish was a little bland perhaps. One dish was forgotten & as I could only get through to an answer machine didn't get round to complaining. On reflection will be unlikely to use them again.

Good food. High quality flavours. Highly recommend the honey chicken. Speedy service and served with a warm welcome.

Service was great, owner is very welcoming and really helpful with vegan options and allergens! Food was banging, loved it! Veggie chow mein is out of this world. 🤟🏻

We just came in for a quick takeaway, service was fantastic and very accommodating! Especially for two vegans, they had so many options! Best place for a take out in the banbury area! P.s garlic broccoli was insanely good!

I moved recently so I've decide to try Just Wok ,hoping it will be my new local Chinese take away so i don't have to go to town every time I fancy Chinese.Food was poor and greasy.My order get mixed up and instead thick noodles i've got thin noodles which I don't like.Very long waiting time for your food .Card payment accepted on payments above £15 which I didn't know about as in my other Chinese take away i always pay by card even if i just order noodles for less than £6 . Food is expensive Shame...

Very good. Just very good. Good. Oh so good.

In Banbury for the weekend with family and chose this over our regular Chens Cottage.

Not much else to say. Great food. Pleasant people, fast service takeaway. Don’t go anywhere else in Banbury. Really. Don’t waste your time, just head here.

Tried this place and really wanted it to be good, we were not surprised,, poor food and will not be using again. It’s a shame , we hoped that it would be our new local.

We have used Just wok a few times since it opened. Food wise I would say it’s the nicest Chinese In Banbury. The food tastes fresh and always piping hot. The problem we have is, a few times we’ve turned up and it’s been closed when meant to be open, the wait for food is always ages. We normally order 2 dishes with rice and can sometimes wait 45 mins- 1 hour. Plus the staff serving don’t seem very experienced, very polite and friendly but a few times I’ve noticed them serving a customer and answering the phone in the middle of taking an order. As I said the food is just fantastic but I think the service and timings could do with looking into.

The best Chinese takeaway I've ever been to!

Customer service is brilliant and the food can't be beaten. Highly recommend

Customer service is brilliant and the food can't be beaten. Highly recommend for everyone. Staff are very helpful.

Just finished a meal from here where we were ordered 4 items and believed this would be about 30 minutes, after the person advised other customers of this time. We were not told a time directly but amused 30 minutes would suffice. After 60 minutes we eventually got out food without an apology. The girl seemed very young and inexperienced and had a sign at the till point to advice is training. We can appreciate this but believe she needed to be more trained, especially when we were told you are unable to do contactless payments when it stipulated on the wall and the card reader you could do this. She also stopped taking my payment which was going through due to only using 1 telephone line and a call disconnected.

We tried this gem of a takeaway a few months ago and absolutely love it! They can spice things up a little bit more if you request it and there is plenty of choice whether you fancy Chinese, thai etc

Not bad. Not fantastic. You can order and alternate food here if asked if you want it spicy not spicy etc. Different style chicken or meat...

Great food! Lovely owners. Best Chinese food in Banbury!

Great food excellent service best chinese ever

Ordered a Chinese tonight and was very disappointed. The duck was rock hard and very overcooked. The chicken balls were very dry and chewy. Ended up putting it in the bin. We chose Top Wok due to the reviews and fancied a change but won't be ordering from here again.

We tried JWok since opening and never went in another place. Food is fresh, very tasty and we'll cooked and most important the friendly atmosphere is keeping us there. I would highly recommend to anyone in Banbury and not only.

Got a takeaway from here for the first time a couple of weeks ago after hearing good things and I wasn't disappointed. The egg fried rice was perfect as was the duck in plum sauce costs a little more than most places but definitely worth it. The ladies were friendly and helpful , can't wait to return I'm going to work my way through the menu :)

I must agree with all the other glowing reviews! Great food, very friendly service! Definitely going back as it's the most authentic take away food I've had since leaving China.

Very tasty food and friendly service. We have never had a bad meal from here. Glad this is our local takeaway and hope it stays.

Brilliant service warm friendly staff . Great food cooked to order will always add or remove anything you ask for . Best in Banbury.

I love this Chinese, the ladies are really nice and friendly. The food is delicious. Best Chinese in Banbury.

Good value, good food, friendly staff.

Don't do it,Dirty horrible food

Great fresh hot food not warmed up like some places.

Excellent food, fast delivery, food arrived hot, and not to expensive. Great all rounder!!

Without a doubt the best Chinese takeaway in the area. Fantastic food, great fresh ingredients and lovely, friendly service from Sue and Apple. Thank you ladies. :)

Would'nt go anywhere else for our Friday night chinese now as this take away is simply the best. Lovely food which is always fresh & hot. The two ladies that run it are so friendly & helpful nothing is too much trouble, so Thank you I am so glad we decided to order from you.
