Tried every Chinese in Castleford and magic wok is by far the most consistent and best food.

Not sure what the food is like as I didn't receive any. Ordered by phone, went in to collect, confirmed order and paid. We then had to wait in excess of 30mins while other customers came in, ordered and received their food. When I asked about our order I was told "What order". I asked for a refund and we went elsewhere.

I wouldn't have given this place one star if I had the choice, just got chicken in black bean sauce, the chicken was inedible, slimey and rubbery don't know how it was "cooked" it went in the bin.

If you like an upset stomach via reheated food magic wok Chinese is the place to order from if you want stomach cramps and diarrhoea, we`ve been ordering from Magic wok since the early 90`s when back in the day it was Mayfair serving excellent Chinese food, however its changed hands multiple times since then and now provides sub standard food guaranteed to give you a stomach upset, that & shocking customer service where they take your order and slam the phone down before you can even get the chance to say thank you... You have been warned!

Best Chinese is Castleford by far!!!! Took me 2 years of living here to find a decent Chinese takeaway. Their Black Bean sauce is the best 😍 ... My fiance used to be a Chinese Chef and he rates it too! If you haven't been give it a go. We're moving to Knottingley, going to miss this place so much might have to drive back to Castleford 😊 Whoever the chef is he gets 10/10 (Please open a restaurant in Castleford or Pontefract, you would do so well).xx

It’s about time I wrote a review for Magic Wok! I got my first ever Chinese takeaway from here when I was 18, I’m now 23. Nearly 6 years ago. I live in Knottingley, but this is the only one I’ll eat from and I’d rather travel home with the potential risk of my food being a little bit cold than order from anywhere else. The KUNG PO is delicious, chips are crispy and tastes like they’ve been triple fried in the best way possible! Noodles are lovely, salt and pepper chicken is great too. I could go on and on, very reasonably priced and the lady who is on the front desk is very pleasant and lovely to chat to. If you haven’t eaten here, please try it! Cannot wait for my next one.

Usually enjoy food from here, but most of tonight's went in the bin. Best thing about the whole meal was the prawn crackers. Noodle box awful, chicken kung po disgusting was actually prawns and not chicken. Didn't even taste like a kung po. Won't be ordering from Magic Wok again. Expensive bin food £27. Wish I could have put minus stars

Been using Magic Wok for a good while now and in the main, we have been very pleased with the standard of food served up. Bearing in mind there are so many other Chinese takeaways in the vicinity, it makes sense to keep ones regulars happy Unfortunately, this wasn't the case Saturday gone. Ordering for three, we opted for the Sweet & Sour Chicken Cantonese style, beef Szechuan , Roast Duck Chinese style, two Pancake rolls, egg fried rice, salt & pepper chips and noodles. Cost £ £36.40. Not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. To say the duck was a disappointment is an understatement. Seven small, and I mean small, pieces of duck, two pure fat, two mainly fat and three others that ware embarrassingly tiny. Hidden beneath a mountain of Pak Choi and other vegetables, they were swimming in a bowl full of watery sauce The pancake rolls were a massive let down too. Void of Chinese pork or shrimps as is the norm, it was plain old bean sprouts with a modicum of reformed chicken. The salt & pepper would have been OK had there been some salt & pepper on 'em, whilst the noodles were tasteless. As for the egg fried rice, Magic Wok can usually boast restaurant standard fluffy white rice. Not this time. Bog standard brown, too much soy sauce egg fried, nothing out of the ordinary All in all a let down They've taken their eye off the ball.

Just had the misfortune to order 2 meals from this place. Sweet & sour chicken with chips and ribs, crispy beef & noodles. Waited ages in a cold waiting room and the chips were greasy and sweet & sour sauce more like purée than sauce. Ribs and crispy beef burnt, noodles ok. All in all a complete waste of money. Must be better places in Castleford.

Well, If I could have given 0 stars I would. It has just cost us £14.90 for 1x chicken chow mein and 1x dry spare ribs and the food is so bad it has gone in the bin!! Even our cat would not eat the chicken! I have travelled to really poor countries and eaten street food that has been superb fir a fraction of the price. Where the 4 &5 star reviews come from on here I really don't know! My advice is DO NOT BUY FROM HERE! THE FOOD IS INEDIBLE!

Just had chicken noodles and spare ribs from here costing £15 with delivery...looked at the reviews first and decided to give it a go. NOW I don't know what your all eating in castleford but I can honestly say this must of been the worst food I have ever had even my cat wouldn't eat the chicken, So down £15 because its all gone in the bin. Congratulations to the Magic Wok I think you should use your Magic in your food then it might be edible

We ordered sweat and sour chicken Cantonese style and chispy chicken with Thai sweat chili. The worst food I have eaten so far. The sauce tasted like melted sugar, it stank terribly of vinegar, the rice stank of old age, we almost threw up. Worst money spent, it all ended up in the bin, I haven't eaten anything else from this restaurant and I'm not going to. I do not recommend

ordered the same thing as usual which is salt and pepper chicken and this time it was totally disgusting, so we rang up. When we rang the first woman on the phone laughed at us and handed us over to someone else. then the next lady kept pretending she didn’t know what we were saying and asked u the same thing repeatedly for 10 minutes. The salt and pepper chicken might as well be called salt and pepper fried batter. I could have broke my tooth biting into it. HORRIBLE FOOD AND HORRIBLE SERVICE
