Magic Wok in Islington

One of the best chinese restaurant

I must say this is the hidden gem in central London. Had such a lovely meal after long time. Great service.

Order took 90 mins for salt and pepper chips and mushroom foo yung that tasted of nothing. Food was cold, drink was warm. Someone let me know if there's a half decent chinese takeaway in north London because it's not this place.

Tbh i should not have judged them with old reviews but they are really really good. Food was piping hot and thanks for the free drink and crackers

Super tasty food. Very reasonable price. Good slection of variety chinese items.

It is not authentic Chinese and the chefs are not authentic. Flavourless!

Horrible service and food. I ordered my food and it came a hour and half later, when i called they told me the driver just left, the driver called me 10 mins later to tell me he just left ( who was telling the truth ) . Once it was here my soup all over the rest of my food, and it was all cold. I asked them to just redeliver all the food that was damaged and they agreed ( a lie again ) I never got the food. They called an hour later to ask if I got the food and I said no, I would rather have a refund. They again agreed and lied, and I never got a refund. PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE

A wonderful place to grab a quick lunch or dinner with loads of protein for keeping you in the run. Liked their Lamb ribs a lot!!!

Don’t judge this establishment based off the previous reviews. The food was just above average, however the price was convenient £14 for special fried rice & salt and pepper prawns. Service was great (bearing in mind I was a bit of a c*** based off the google reviews) and they added prawn crackers for free. No tummy aches the following day, so in all honesty you can’t go wrong with ordering from this establishment.

I ate food from here specifically the sweet and sour chicken with egg Fried rice And after 10 minutes started experiencing severe belly, pains And started vomiting. You have been warned

I would rate no stars if it was an option but it’s not so 1 star will have to do. It’s absolutely filthy, and they’ve got nonses for workers, go to cobra hunters Facebook and you will see the peadophile they have working in there!

Not only the food took over an hour to get to is but once it arrived it must be one of the worse noodles I ever eaten. The dumplings are dry without any sauces and hard. Please if you like your food this is NOT the place for you. Absolute rubbish!!!

Food was absolutely awful! we ordered beef in black bean sauce and the beef wasn’t even edible, very chewy and just disgusting. Also hard bits in our food. Ive ordered from here a few times and the food has been ok.. but due to my experience tonight I will never order from this place again.

The food was so bland, order was late and they sent wrong items please can I have a refund! I won’t be ordering again. Said no chicken and was sent chicken balls.

Awful customer service only take orders and deliver when they feel like it not times advertised. Won’t be ordering from them again and had used for years before that.

Always order from here. Great place , great owner highly recommend!

LAST TIME ORDERING FROM HERE!! Disappointed. I used to order from here a few times but they must have changed chef/owners as the food taste has gone downhill as well the hygiene. Firstly they sent the wrong items they mistook the Singapore friend rice for noodles…called and they said they would bring the correct one. Acceptable. Ordered chicken noodle soup and FOUND HAIR IN THE SOUP!!! Called the restaurant again and told the person over the phone who just apologised. The rest of the other items did not taste the same as last time. Unfortunately won’t be ordering here again.

Ordered Singapore fried rice,its a decent portion,price also reasonable,mixture of chicken,beef & prawn but vegetables are little less,overall good!

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE. I never got my food despite waiting for THREE hours. I contacted the restaurant and they told me my food was on the way TWICE, and it never came. The restaurant even marked my order as delivered on the app, which was 100% not true. Please don’t waste your money and time on this restaurant. WORST EXPERIENCE FROM A RESTAURANT EVER.

for context: I ordered my food in-person. They have a 15% student discount written out front. Although I was only given a 10% discount but it hadn't occured to me at the time. That's fine though, not that deep. On the contrary to lots of the old reviews here, the food was hot and tasted decent. The portion size was quite big in one of those Satco microwave containers. I ordered the Beef Chow Mein and given my review id recommend it. I dont know why but I was given a spoon to eat with lol. I ate the rest at home so wasn't that big of an issue. Be sure to ask them for specific cutlery if you need it. The state of the shop itself was quite a mess. it doesn't bother me too much but something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to that. It looks like they mostly deal with deliveries anyway so probably not a priority. To summarise: + Beef chow mein was nice + Hot food if collected or ordered in-person (no guarantees with Uber etc.) + Tasty + Option for spicy if you're like me >:) + Halal - Messy shop - Dumplings may not halal - No indoor seating to eat - Charged incorrectly - Given a spoon to eat noodles overall 4 stars as the food itself was fine, and that's the most important thing :)

Tasty, good meat and veg in my rice

For many years now it has been my favourite place to go for my Chinese food cravings. They have never disappointed me any day with bad tasting food. Hardly any dish on the menu that I haven't tried. Best Chinese takeaway in London.

Food was burnt chips and chicken balls were soggy I have never in my life had such a bad takeaway like this one distrusting will never be using again……

This is a Chinese restaurant located in Central London. This restaurant only serves Chinese take-away . The menu of take-away dishes is reasonably wide. Prices are fair. There are some promotional prices available for students. Only cash is accepted here. Cleanliness is acceptable. Service is fair and waiting time is reasonable.

There are some bad reviews on here. But I'm rather impressed with this place. Made an order and they were quick. The food was hot and tasty. Well worth it.

This use to be my go to place but lately the food just taste reheated and stale. Very dissatisfied

Made the order via Uber Eats. Honestly, the worst Chinese in London ever tried. Chinese Chicken is just plain boiled chicken with poured sweet n sauce from supermarket. Those are not stirred, not fried, just plain boiled pieces of checken. It’s served on bean sprouts w some water, where did it come from (?). Tastes terrible, looks disgusting. Generally, disappointed, wouldn’t recommend.

Above-average Anglicised Chinese food. I’ve ordered here from JustEat & was pleased. Portions were large, hot & tasty. Ironically in central London it’s easy to find good authentic Chinese (particularly Sichuanese), but difficult to find old-fashioned Anglicised Chinese, i.e. Chinese food modified for the British market. This place fits the bill when you want 1970s style prawn balls or crispy beef.

Words of the worse. Send my order for collecting last week but ordered from wrong restaurant. Tried to call straight after order placed - no answer. Tried several days after- no one picking up phone. I lost £36. Never again ! Reply to the lovely owner The only ignorant here is you and your behaviour towards customers. But good for you, everyone will see it here. I tried to call you 50 times! Not mentioned that I called Uber and they tried to call you too and said that my only option is for you to pick up the phone and cancel the order!! £36 blown off and then you telling me that I’m a ignorant? You never made a mistake I guess! Maybe try to pick up your phone next time! Have a lovely day! Its not your fault 5* for reply 1* for your rudeness

for £ 12 ... 3 prawns 3 slices of beef and 3 slices of chicken .. not pieces only slices .. I do not recommend more rice and onions than what you order

L'aspetto non è dei migliori ma il cibo è buono e costa poco

Worst customer service ever. Ordered food on Friday via just eat. App said delivered but it turns out the driver couldn’t get in it call me? Never happened with any other deliveries amd I order via just eat/Deliveroo about once a week. Funnily enough when he came the second time the door was open and he was still stood in the street. Then had to pay extra for another delivery despite the restaurant saying I tried avoiding paying it again. I gave the driver the money straight away. Food was cold, very bland and the salt n pepper chicken was basically breaded chicken with no flavour. Just thought I’d leave this re use as I found it one of the worst takeaway experiences ever. And with all the google ads on tv at the moment saying leave a review I thought I would just to let people know to avoid this place. And there food hygiene rating is a 2! If I’d seen that before I would of never ordered!

非常便宜 也都很好吃 老板还送了可乐和虾片 可惜菜品种类比较少 如果能多点种类的比如蘑菇海鲜种类就完美了

The food was over an hour late when we phoned it after being 15 minutes late we were told that it was on its way. 30 minutes later we rung again and was told the driver lost the ticket and needed to get our address again, we said we were told it left 30 minutes ago and would it not be cold. the only response we got back was that is was very far away and would take 30 minutes. we live 1.4 miles away. The duck was inedible, and the rest of the food was horrible once re heated. The soup was the only item tasted good.

Disgusting, very late and inedible. Vile! Update: now have incredibly sore stomach from the couple of mouthful eaten

Got the platter for two and the portions were PATHETIC. Literally 1 rib each, 1spring roll each, 1chicken skewer each etc. NOT good value for money.

Decent Chinese, not greasy and reasonably priced for the area.Will order again from here for sure.

Brilliant halal everything halal food

I ordered recently Chicken chow mein, chicken balls and chicken noodle soup. The order came even before the showed time, everything was fresh, hot and really tasty, plus the price is amazing. I did share the food with my chinese room mate, she love it.

Always great food from this restaurant never ever late with the orders and always hot food and delicious. Highly recomended.

Ordered the food at 8pm, didn't arrive until 9:30pm... Ordered duck fries rice. & Sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style. Chicken arrive with only 4 pieces of meat and a container of vegetables. Considering I paid £6.99 for the chicken I would expect a decent sized portion.. wouldn't order again

Closed an hour before stated time, drove in heavy traffic to get here.

Frist time ordering from hereFood is nice but bit oily. I would give another go

Good Chinese take away. Food always received quickly even when shop is busy.

Was in London for business and used Just Eat to order Chinese takeout after a days work Fantastic food at a great price for London!!!!! Impressed and definitely will try again when I am in London. A must try for any visitor craving amazing Chinese food at a decent price (better than most expensive stuff in the city).

Best beef in black bean sauce I’ve tried in my life

Long brown hair found in my rice, I can tell it was from the cooking because it’s wrappped around a few rice grains. Totally put off!!!

Dog food , the beef was not beef. Avoid this place and if you are unfortunate enough to eat here make sure you complain to food trading standards

Decent just eat takeaway, as long as you have a discount code.

Good service, delivered on time, i like there Beef black beans sauce & Salt pepper chicken. Delicious food. Very nice and clean. Strongly recommended this takeaway. Thanks to Magic wok.

I can’t speak for the food but if you live anywhere on the street, I guarantee you will hear the delivery people shouting to each other like their life depended on it. Maybe their cycle helmets make it difficult to hear each other but I can hear them 5 stories above the street like they were in the room with me.

Good Chinese food and very good chefs

Adequate for a takeaway, reasonably priced food

Why won’t you let me post the ribs that you gave me ?!!! It’s the ribs picture that looks awful by the chicken, although they both taste like vomit. Only the chicken dish picture got posted. THe food is so disgusting ! I swear to God this is the most disgusting food i tasted in my whole life. I’m so scared from the beef ribs that came with my sweet and sour chicken. I want to post a picture to show how disgusting it is. Also the sweet and sour chicken smells so bad and it tastes weird. Dangeorus to consumers. I seriously want to throw up. Eeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww . Also the most classless and rudest lady was shouting at me on the phone. She kept on saying that a lot of people like her disgusting food. Clearly, she is dreaming. She did not want to give me my refund and closed the phone on me. The worst restaurant in the world. DO NOT GO THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Helpful customer service, taste food

This place won't stop sending me marketing messages after ordering once many years ago. There is NO option to unsubscribe and I've called twice to ask them to stop but they won't remove my number. Never order here unless you want to be bombarded by spam texts for the rest of your life.

Excellent sweet n sour chicken plus many more

Me ha encantado el lugar,muy serviciales todos!

Delicious Chinese food. Always fast delivery and good sizeable portion.

Been ordering from this Chinese take away for years, It’s a convenient choice for local people. Very nice food, friendly people and on time home delivery service. And I would recommend this restaurant for anyone who seeks for authentic Chinese food.

Very amazed with the taste of the food.deifinitely I will be switching to this take away.

GREAT MEAL I HAD AFTER A WHILE.TAST Y FOOD AND GOOD SIZEABLE PORTION.THIS IS FLAVOR I EXPECT FROM CHINESE FOOD WHICH I FOUND HERE. DEFINITELY WE WILL ORDER AGAIN.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

amazing food,was recommended by a friend.not disappointed, very tasty and good portion. of course will give 5 star.

best authentic chinese food i have found in the city. highly recommended.

Not sure what has happened used to be a great takeaway place ordered food tonight then ribs over cooked egg fried rice was burnt and the apple fritters rock hard wont be eating here again

TASTY,TASTY,TASTY..LOVELY food,well cooked and the Chef,so polite when you go in,best local.

Probably the worst food I've ever tasted in my entire life. Not only did it take 2 hours to arrive and was flat cold, but what was supposed to be duck was some substitute rubber instead. Vile, disgusting, inedible garbage.

The most discusting Chinese place ever ordered in the city. Sweet and Sour chicken is in super chemical colour red. The special fried rice has got this red paterned meat, the rice is mushy and tastes like has been pulled out of pot which has been sitting all day and smacked in. The king prawns are absolute disaster. Please do not order here as you will regret every penny spent. Paid £17 for complete rip off! Cheers

I ordered a large portion of special fried rice. upon (very late) arrival, I saw that I had been given a small portion but still had to pay for a large as the delivery man explained that it had "nothing to do with him". Having gone through this ordeal, I was certain that nothing else could go wrong, I was wrong. The special fried rice tasted extremely odd, I couldn't finish it. It had very slimy meaty substances inside. It was extremely scary and disgusting. On the side I ordered, garlic chicken which did not taste like garlic... or even chicken for that matter. The 1 star awarded above is for the prawn crackers as they were the only good thing about the meal. They were also free, although a very small bag compared to other Chinese restaurants. I would not recommend this place and I am very angry with Hungry house for misleading me. Worst Chinese takeaway to date.

first class food every time. yummy

Worst service I've ever experienced, waited 2.5 hours to then be told the driver has come back to the takeaway and it will be another 1 hour, was not offered any discount, had to cancel the order....... outrageous
