Magic Wok in South Lakeland

Good food, excellent awareness and care with an allergy order. Great service with accurate timings when placing order for when order would be ready. Pricing and portions good.

A BIG THANK YOU TO THE OWNER This place is truly amazing. In all honesty, I've came back to this place time after time, this is my third time returning. The food quality is of a high standard and the taste is delicious. The owner of this establishment is very polite and welcoming. And I am all for supporting local businesses, in the past I've ordered a set meal and the waiting time was in the access of one hour and 40 minutes as the demand is extremely high. I waited in my vehicle outside and the gentleman came out and noticed myself waiting in the car, he proceeded to hurry the chef along and make my order faster than the time agreed, which was a very nice thing to do considering it was a Saturday evening . If you're in the Lake District, please try this food. I can guarantee hand on heart you will not be disappointed.

We came across this takeaway when using an app to search for vegan food in the area. They have a vegetarian menu which is marked if a dish contains egg, this made it easier to search for vegan meals. Just to be sure, I double checked that the vegetable curry, Szechuan tofu, noodles with beansprouts/onions, spring rolls, boiled rice and vegetables with black bean were all vegan. It was very busy and I was warned that the order would take around 30 minutes, it came dead on 30 minutes. By the time I left, the place was mobbed and they were quoting an hour wait. Apparently it is busier on wet nights as people tend to want food to take back to their guest house rather than wander around .

We've been coming to this Chinese takeaway for over 8 years. Every time it has always been fantastic food and Carl is so friendly. We live two hours away pity he couldn't deliver ha ha. Thanks again Carl food was again amazing

Where do I start ? Sweet and sour chicken is bland rubbery and disgusting. Fried rice crusty and disgusting old rice. Beef in black beans inedible, beef uncooked and stringy. Over use of salt and soy sauce in everything tbh to the point its too salty to eat. Spring rolls are that crispy they would crack your teeth into half. Shredded duck is it even duck ? This food is not chinese food but food cooked for pasing holiday tourists who are never going to return to complain. Should be ashamed of themselves for calling it chinese food, come on guys if you can't be bothered taking pride in your food then why bother cooking? .

Great takeaway! Super fast, lovely tasting and reasonable prices! We didn’t want to eat out on a recent stay in Windermere and so chose the Magic Wok to get some takeaway food! It was really nice! Thank you!

Ordered a take away whilst on holiday with the family. This is the best chinese we’ve had in years. Great service and every dish different and delicious

Very poor, tasteless and we ended up throwing most of it away. Just not we expected. Truly disappointing especially as this was a Christmas Eve treat

Fabulous authentic food - all the family ordered and dishes were delicious. Chow mein was the best I’ve tasted - and other dishes were demolished! Lovely start to our week in Windermere.

This place is the best! Walked in greeted by a very smiling gentleman. Kindly said it was going to be a 30 min wait, that was fine by me, didn’t have very far to go. I usually think if it’s go a bit of a wait and is busy it means that it’s good local food. He knows the locals as well, all by name, applies to me by my names, made me feel like I wasn’t a number but a person! Service was great considering how busy they were, front attendant and kitchen people must have been superman! Working hard and it shows! Food was delicious and portion sizes were amazing for a cheap meal! Added in extra prawn crackers for free. Would 100% go back again! The whole experience was incredible and I would recommend anyone going to Windermere to go here!

We have regularly visited this amazing restaurant on many holidays, but then of course everything shut down for 2 years. I was back up in the area to stay with friends and they suggested a take away, as they’ve now become take away only. The food was as fantastic as ever and took us back to our previous visits. I just hope they will open as a restaurant again soon, as now and again it’s nice to eat out. Thanks guys

Had a takeaway last year from here and really enjoyed it, I had read the recent reviews and was a tad unsure but we ordered again and was not disappointed, lovely food, friendly service

Just what the doguey ordered, what a naughty little number. They sent us flying out the blocks with some sensational starters, me recommend the duck, then we met the mains and boy did they deliver. 4 out of 5 stars, or 8 out of 10. Woof

A simple takeout of soup starter and a main. The chicken and sweetcorn soup was inedible and was discarded. The main course was house special fried rice which was short on Char Sui, chicken and prawn but heavy on luncheon meat. Strangely this tinned pressed “meat” isn’t shown on their menu… I won’t be returning any time soon!

Delicious fresh food. Would recommend the sweet and sour chicken , salt and pepper chips and chicken and the best prawn toast I have tasted! We will definitely return here when in the area. 10/10 food

Travelled from Ambleside to get out takeaway.... INEDIBLE....straight in bin! Will not be going there again!

Really great food - lovely vegetarian food. Very friendly guy behind the counter - went back for another take away it was so good! Often takeaways in tourist towns don't worry about quality but this is great food- worth a visit! Wish they were local to me....

We got a takeaway from Magic Wok- wonderful Chinese at a very affordable price. Highly recommend the king prawns in black pepper sauce- scrumptious!

We come to Windermere quite often and always have a takeaway from here. Carl is so friendly and the food is absolutely first class every time. We love this Chinese takeaway. Neil and Debbie

Restaurant not in use, so only take-away available. Had to order our meal 24 hours in advance. It was ready on time but was very disappointing food - quite bland and not what we expect from a Chinese meal. Not recommended.

As a takeaway The Magic Wok offers simply fantastic food reasonably priced. Recommend pre ordering as can be very busy. Our order was ready on time and the staff were very helpful. One of the best Chinese takeaway restaurants I've visited. well done

We discovered Magic Wok after reading the reviews on trip advisor and we were not disappointed! What a fabulous Chinese takeaway! The menu is vast and every dish that we had was superb! Fresh, hot and top quality! It was so good we got a takeaway from here twice during our stay. The owner is also so friendly and really added to the magic wok magic! We will definitely be back when we are next in the Lakes! Thank you so much ☺️

Not too bad! We enjoyed all the dishes we had and the food was of good quality and taste. Everyone liked their meals and I reckon we will go again before we leave! Worth a take away for sure.

I would vote zero if the option was available, worst Chinese ever experienced. We ordered king prawns in peking sauce and chicken schezwan, which appeared to be the same base sauce for both dishes. As we were both starving this wouldn’t have bothered us but...

Excellent!! Appeared quite busy but I was served quickly by a very polite gentleman who slightly tweaked my order with ease as it wasn’t on the menu quite as I’m used to. Food was delicious, very hot and in nice tight containers. Would definitely recommend.

Couldn't find anywhere COVID-safe to eat outside on Easter Sunday in Bowness and no takeaways were answering the phone - everywhere was rammed! Drove up the the road to Windermere, past huge queues outside a couple of restaurants, and found the Magic Wok. Super-helpful guy...

I appreciated the care to cook and pack the vegetarian dishes separately. Ordering by phone was easy and the food was on time, hot and very tasty. It was good quality and was very nice.

Had a takeaway. Chicken in BB sauce, chicken chow mein, mixed chow mein, salt pepper ribs. The food was excellent. The ribs were crispy and the chow mein were meaty and Joyce.

Called in on our way back to holiday rental Wasn’t disappointed- all our meals excellent We ordered chicken satay, salt pepper chicken and duck black bean sauce All meats tender and sauces delicious Staff friendly Will definitely go again we visiting windermere again

Excellent quality Chinese Takeaway. One of the very best takeaways that we have had. Excellent quality and prompt service. Highly recommend.

Clean, Covid aware staff withing premises socially distance seat in take away area. Great Cantonese food at a great price point.

4 of us had a takeaway from here whilst on a 3 night break. All that needs to be said is, we really wish the Magic Wok could magic itself down to where we live.

Tasty takeaway This so deserves the 5 stars. Service was great. Menu information when ordering was great. They were very busy with takeaways as restaurant was closed. But 1 hour we were told and true to there word it was an hour. Food was super...

Probably the best Chinese in Windermere and Bowness, and as close you will get to authentic food rather than the usual frozen mush that most of the food joints serve up. Been lots of times and Carl and his team always look after u well

Restaurant closed so we ordered takeaway 2 prawn curries 2 egg fried rice, 2 chips and a crispy chilli beef .. Our curries were snacking.. and rice and chips superb the beef wasn't great.. chewy and not crispy..

We live in Manchester - we visit the lakes quite a lot and every time we come we have to have a takeaway from the Magic Wok - This is our favourite Chinese takeaway ever - not a patch on any near where we live....

The person on the desk taking the orders was brilliant, explaining what could and could not be made gluten free. Saying they can change things around and what can be done instead. Example using different oils, different vinegars and different noodles. To top it off...

we tried to go for a meal but they had shut the restaurant off and it was atake away only, however they had not updated their online information to state this

We couldn't get tables in restaurants a couple of evenings so as we was staying in a flat we decided to have a drink in a local pub and then get a take away. The guy was really friendly and both times I ordered a...

We phoned up and ordered a takeaway. The employee that answered was very friendly and helpful, he informed us about gluten free and lactose free meal and was more than happy to help us. Would highly recommend!

This is our favourite local Chinese takeaway. The staff are lovely but you do need to order early to avoid a long wait. We normally have 1/2 Crispy duck,Chicken in Black bean, Singapore Vermicelli and Egg Fried rice. There is plenty of food to feed...

This was superb! I hate with a passion salty, greasy, cheap and chewy Chinese food… and this was everything but. The portions were large, flavoursome and not greasy. Packed with whole bits of succulent meat. The special fried rice was full of meat/veg and not...

Great food and service. Takeaway ordered and ready by the time given for collection. Highly recommended. Food was delicious, we chose several options from the comprehensive menu as there was a family of 8 to be fed. Without question the choices were enjoyed by us...

Had a takeaway for the Magic Wok during a stay in Windermere. It was very busy and we were lucky to get a takeaway slot. The starters were very good. Ribs, prawn toast, chicken wings etc, but main courses were a little bland. Chicken curry...

Ordered Chinese takeaway here, quite a delay on food but worth it in the end, the salt and pepper chicken was lovely, prawn crackers also very nice

Ordered after looking at other reviews to take back to our rental cottage. we all have our firm favourites at home but this was very acceptable and delicious with large portions. would happily recommend.

Great food, good portions, very tasty. Really recommed this takeaway for Chinese. The beef in black bean was delicious!

tried several times during the week to get food, but was always faced with a long wait so we ordered early on our final night in Windermere - the wait was worth it! They are only serving takeaway but the food was tasty, hot and...

The crispy duck hit the mark, spicy wings were excellent, service delivered with a smile. Would definitely recommend this place.

Took a chance and rang before opening. Like all good businesses, customer service is key and we were straight into the order. Read everything back to me and gave me a time, 20 minutes on. Popped over the road for a beer (made the wrong...

Mi familia de cinco miembros se comió cada trozo de esta comida para llevar, teníamos entrantes y platos principales y no nos podemos quejar de nada. Las costillas de sal y pimienta eran excelentes, al igual que mi especial de Szechuan, el tipo adecuado de picante y el resto de la familia estuvo de acuerdo.

Love this place, go here every time we visit Windermere. Staff are absolutely lovely and the prices are so reasonable. Gorgeous food. No complaints

Food was absolutely delicious. Would recommend the spring rolls! Staff really friendly over the phone and the restaurant accepts both cash and card. Will be returning on a return trip to the lakes.

Really good takeaway, good and tasty food, reasonably priced. Did have to wait about 45 mins for food but it was worth the wait.

Really nice take away would highly recommend. Duck is delicious and so is the prawn toast! Was ready within 15 mins of calling to order too!!

We were in Tge are and as I'm gluten intolerant I have to be careful And after searching for a decent recommend takeaway I ordered our meals And I have the food was second to none Absolutely beautifully tasty meal and a huge helping So I will recommend this restaurant and takeaway fully such a treat

Tasty food, would recommend the salt and pepper dishes. The special fried rice is lovely too. Really good service and not too expensive

A small family business offering a take out service only because of Covid. Delicious king prawn dishes at a very reasonable price (£6 a dish). The guy was very helpful when we ordered on the phone and was patient in helping us choose the best options to fit our taste. I highly recommend it!

Stayed locally and decided on a family takeaway on Saturday night. Nice choice of dishes, friendly staff, food excellent. Good positions and value and ready at the allotted time. Recommended

Visited the area during Covid-19, ordered the night before and collected as a takeaway at an agreed time. Very efficient as we didn't have to wait around for it to made and could pick it up when we wanted it. Tasty, high quality food for a takeaway, definitely would go back if in the area in the future.

This place is our local take away and we go here so often, absolutely love it every time, always recommend it to everyone! 😊😊😊

Fabulous food. Ordered a takeaway on the off chance when we couldn’t get a table in any restaurants. Would 100% return again as it was one of the better Chinese’s I’ve ever had. Polite staff and quick service.

We eat a lot of Chinese and have to say this was amongst the best we have had. The taste was great. Portions were huge fantastic value for money.In post lockdown they had thought through how to manage take a way in a safe way.Thank you.

Really good! Lots of food - we ordered set meal for three - fed 4 adults with food left over. £30 so good value too.

Always good I’m a local they are very polite spot on and Cantonese Hong Kong great, been there a while doing a good job , was run by his dad now son runs it along with his sons what’s not to like they will create anything you ask give em a challenge no problem

That's got to be one of the worst Chinese takeaways I've ever had. 1 prawn crackers were ok2 salt and pepper ribs were well overcooked, with hardly any meat on them and very greasy.3 special curry was just a congealed mass. No real flavour for a curry4 fried rice was ok.Very disappointed cannot recommend it and wont be going again.

This is a nice restaurant/takeaway, the staff are welcoming and friendly, the food is lovely, me and my husband had the set meal for two, it was very tasty, would recommend a visit.

Nice food, friendly and well priced. Can't ask for more really. Kung pu sauce was a personal favorite

Visited at 6.15pm for a take away - sat and waited till 7.35pm, utterly ridiculous. Wouldn’t have minded had the food been as good as it used to be when I lived here...but alas not. Greasy, tasteless. Ribs fatty, poor quality. Goodness knows what on earth they were doing in the kitchen all that time, as the food certainly didn’t reflect their time spent on it. Won’t be back.

Really lovely food and service from a traditional style Chinese restaurant/takeaway. I had vegan tofu chow mein which was lovely followed by banana fritters (also vegan) Absolutely divine! Would highly recommend and we will be back again. Great value for money as well!

This wasn't the first visit we had made to this Chinese restaurant, but unfortunately it wasn't the best experience. The duck for the pancakes was certainly crispy, but it was also quite dry. As was the crispy beef in sauce. So crispy it was difficult to chew. It was a shame, as the service is always so good here.

My boyfriend and I were staying in Windermere and really fancied a Chinese meal after cooking for ourselves all week. Spotted a single review on here about gluten-free options so decided it was worth a shot to ask. Had to come back an hour after first visiting due to it being quite busy, but once we arrived service was quick and very friendly. I can't eat gluten so Chinese food is usually not an option for me or extremely limited, but every dish we requested was suitable for me and tasted fab. Impressed. Worth going to if you're in the area, whether you're gluten-intolerant or just after good food.

had a takeaway on saturday night, had to wait half hour but was well worth the wait. realy good size portions.

The Coronavirus had just hit UK and the place was empty except for some Chinese customers. If they liked there own countries food in their own restaurant then I always think that is the place to go, but the people of the area dont know what they are missing. We had a very enjoyable evening eating hot and flavorsome Chinese food. The service was quick and very friendly. We were asked where we came from and what we thought of the Lake District. The place should have been packed, judging by the food and the Chinese people.

The restaurant does not look anything special from the front. However, we sat in the rear of the restaurant and the food quality and portions could not be faulted. The staff member who served us could not do enough for us. I would definitely visit again.

Lovely service, very clean, nicely decorated, excellent food, & friendly staff. Will definitely come again & reccomend. There is more hidden seats at the rear. Thank you very much.

We ordered a takeaway for the family while on holiday in Windermere.

Just had a wonderful meal at the Magic Wok. Service was excellent and the staff were friendly. Each course was served at a steady pace, we did not feel hurried at any time.

Great food, great service and a must do when in Windermere. Main starter for the win. Great experience and everything on the menu looks the part. Roll on the summer family chienese food which in my opinion is the best I've tasted!

My family and I love a Chinese so when visiting other areas of GB or even abroad we look for a decent take out/restaurant. On this occasion we ordered a take out and I have to say it was pretty blooming good, the only complaint I had was the cashew nut dish had quite a lot of garlic in it which was over powering although it’s not the first time I’ve had this from other take outs so I assume it’s just a preference thing. The chicken wings in Cantonese sauce were fab one of the best I’ve had and the fried rice was good. Satay is tasty but spicy so when the menu says hot it means it unlike some other places where they don’t know what spice is. All in all a fab meal, will try again if I’m in the area again.

came here after reading reviews on TripAdvisor , stayed along the road in Windemere and we fancied a Chinese , for main meals ordered and picked up about an hour later , all meals were hot and tasty and didn't disappoint , mixture of Chow mein and curry's , all were demolished quickly with no complaint on size or flavor , would deffo recommend

Un amigo y yo aparecimos mientras visitábamos Keswick por la noche y nos encantó encontrar un magnífico restaurante chino. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida y rápidamente nos llevaron a una mesa. La comida era muy sabrosa y deliciosa y el servicio fue rápido y amable. Excelente relación calidad-precio y en una muy buena ubicación en el corazón de Windermere. Altamente recomendado.

One of the best Chinese meals we've ever had! The food was very hot and so tasty! Service was quick and friendly - would highly recommend :)

Possibly the best Chinese takeaway food my wife and I have had. From the excellent service to quality food, especially as I have an allergy to MSG which some Chinese places use. They even got our food ready half an hour earlier on the second night as we had been there the night before.

Had a nice meal service was good nice food surroundings a little basic. All in all would recommend. In a good location in centre of Windermere town

We holiday in The Lakes twice a year and always make a point of visiting this restaurant. The staff are really friendly and polite, the food is excellent and there is a good wine list too! It's great value for money and well worth a visit if you're in Windermere.

Could smell the delicious food all the way down the street . Was not intending to eat but the smell was divine . Popped im and got excellent food and top notch service. Highly recommended. Will visit again. Thank you.

Visited on a Friday night, 30 minute wait, so had a quick drink in the grey wall pub ( really friendly place ) went back to the Magic Wok and we're immediately seated, food was excellent and great value really big portion sizes, service was very good and attentive, would highly recommend.

Realmente disfrutamos arroz frito especial, pollo a la sal y pimienta y pollo en salsa de frijoles negros entre 3 de nosotros. Servicio rápido durante un tiempo muy ocupado y la comida estaba muy caliente cuando llegamos a casa.

Not sure where to eat in Windermere we came across the Magic Wok.

Visited 31st October despite some mixed reviews and have to say, we were really pleased we did. The service was first class as was the food, hot tasty, great value and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! If your visiting Windermere looking for somewhere nice to eat but worried about some of the reviews for the Magic Wok, don’t be it was excellent!

This is an Excellent Chinese Restaurant and takeway. Food is delicious. Service top notch. I am a local resident and this is always my first choice for this type of food.

Great food, great service and friendly staff. We had the set menu for 2. All the dishes were well cooked and very tasty. The service was great, even though the restaurant was very busy. The staff were friendly and cheerful.

Called in on the off chance for a table for four. Had the set meal for four, great service, delicious food and good portions! Plenty for four people to eat! House wine (Pinot) decently priced and a good palate. Friendly staff and nice comfortable seating.

リーズナブルな価格の店です。肉野菜炒めとチャーハンを注文してシェアしましたが、量的には十分でした。ウインダミアで貴重な中華の店だと思います。

We stayed for a holiday nearby and this became our favourite place for food. Every dish we ordered was well received by all members of the family. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. Much recommended delicious food.

Staff were not friendly and said they didn't offer napkins to Takeaway customers. Highly NOT recommend.
