For years my family and I have always used this place for our Chinese takeaway, but never again. My chop suey was disgusting. It was so bland it didn't taste of anything. and it had hardly any colour. The sauce was just water, and it seemed as though the meal had been stored in water. The worst Chinese I have ever been served in over 50 years.

First takeaway from Magic Wok after recomendation from a relative and bad experience from usual takeaway Chinese restaurant.Had spare ribs with lemon , they were tender and juicy . Mains were duck with vegetables , four happiness , pork chow mein and special fried rice .Each dish was lovely and hot tasty and plentiful . Nice to get complimentary spring rolls . Will definately be ordering from them again .

Magic Wok has been our favourite Chinese restaurant for years however the prices have gone through the roof since 2020. Today we ordered the Special Mixed Hot D’oeuvre which should have included satay chicken - Unfortunately there was no satay sauce. Just Eat said our food would be delivered between 7:45 and 8pm. It arrived at 8:30. This is not the first time it’s been delivered over 30 minutes late. I think the restaurant needs to contact Just Eat to change their delivery times. Disappointing

Disgusting, the worst Chinese I have had. Ordered delivery and nearly two hours later it turned up. Food was cold and tasted horrible. I’m not sure what pandas are eating because there must be no bamboo left with the amount of bamboo shoots we just threw away! Chicken balls were balls of grease. Prawns in the dumplings were cold. Sweet and sour sauce was like water. The deal was you get prawn crackers when you spend enough, we didn’t get any with our order. Chow mein, I’ve never seen anything like it, part of the sauce had turned to jelly, hardly any noodles. The most expensive dinner my cats have had in a long time.

Sweet and sour sauce was watery and tasteless. The special fried rice was just egg fried rice with 5 shrimps (I counted them as I removed them from the rice) with a few chunks of chicken and beef. The rice was soggy, no flavour. The vegetable spring rolls were also bland, tasteless. one of the worst Chinese meals I've ever ordered, threw it in the bin without eating it.

I have to be completely honest, this had to be the worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever eaten or not actually really eaten at all. First time I’ve used this takeaway and definitely will not be using again. One dish was wrong, I got rice instead of noodles but hey, this happens.

Just moved to the area and fancied a Chinese. I ordered the most basic thing chicken balls and sweet and sour sauce! Honestly it's the worst I've ever had. The chicken balls are too big too doughy and taste of Greece and nothing else! The sweet and sour sauce tastes off key! You are running it like you've given up! So here's a little help! Honestly we come to Chinese restaurants because we love the cuisine! You clearly do not. Shut shop and stop taking people's hard earnt cash for garbage!
