Asked for a house special curry with no onions, just spent 2 minutes picking onions out. Boiler rice in clumps. not worth a tenner.

Not long moved to the area and for our first chinese takeaway thought we would try Magic Wok as it had 4.5 ratings on Uber Eats. However, 3 of our courses were inedible due to the insanely high salt intake (beef chow mein and salt and pepper chicken). The egg fried rice was ok but didn’t have any bits of egg in it? Will not be ordering from here again and annoyed it cost us £30.

Nice enough place been here a few times over the years I've lived in Abingdon. It's not gonna win a Michelin star. But it's nice food and a good price and if you see online app you get a discount each time which is nice. The food is very good when I definitely recommend that people go if you want to have some nice takeaway food.

A small group of friends ordered what we got was hard rice soggy bag of hard chips and sickly tasting honey garlic chicken and pork that was all cartilage hardly any pork. Honestly avoid this place and look elsewhere for any decent Chinese food.

Chicken curry was such a let down. Dry and rubbery chicken like it was from a packet precooked. The curry sauce was watery and had pools of grease floating on top. Rest of the food wasn’t much better. Luckily I only went here since I was passing won’t be going back terrible food not to Mention a rip off

Fantastic food, quick as always and the salt and pepper options are great. Terry Graham - you lying ****. You made the young girl behind the counter cry after the way you spoke to her. You showed up in your new 70K Silver Jag F Type that lives about a mile and a bit away. You forced your way into the kitchen, and you were talking to them like dirt. You do not deserve to have such an unkeyed Jag.

First time we've ordered from here so didn't know what to expect.. I must say we was pleasantly surprised food was really hot and well sealed. Arrived quickly and tasted delicious. If you're a chicken and sweetcorn fan then Id recommend that. Certainly won't be the last time we order from here. Thank you for brilliant service and food. A update. Had our second meal from here brought food for the family £90 spent last time I praised the chicken and sweetcorn soup really enjoyed it the first time, but couldn't eat it as was like eating a salt pot. Absolutely disgusting and to be fair whole meal was salty. Sad especially as first meal was good. We've decided to try once more then we'll look elsewhere.

Just picked up a take away to take back to our airb&b, I really didn't know what to expect from an English Chinese take away as our experiences haven't been very good (we are from Australia ) this was delicious, fresh and hot , I had a pancake roll which was packed full of good things 😋, then we had chicken and pinapple and egg fried rice , I really felt compelled to right a review for this tasty place 😋

Various items missing from order so had to return with cold meal. Manager agreed to replace missing items but would not replace entire meal - offering instead to put my other dishes "back in the pan to warm them up." When I asked for a full refund he refused to talk to me and instructed his counter staff to tell me to Fxxx off. I secured my refund then enterred the kitchen via an open door to talk with him and explain the error of his ways........ and noticed that my returned meal was already being carefully unboxed!!! One to be avoided!

Literally worst Chinese food I've ever ordered. Also why so expensive?? £8.99 for salt and pepper king prawn which is two quid more expensive than other Chinese restaurants in abingdon. It's a real shame that so far we have not managed to find a decent Chinese takeaway in Abingdon they are all really bad, this one was the worst so far. Trying to order was a joke on their website as says Marcham is not a state, they deliver to? Food was practically inedible. Avoid this place its absolutely low grade food. We threw most of it away.

I don't understand the high ratings. The chicken satay is a congealed mess which tasted off. The rice was OK. Beef was chewy and tepid. They have one star because of the fast delivery but that's it. Awful. Never again. Avoid at all costs.

Third time ordering from the Magic Wok via UberEats. Every single time I order the food is always delicious, perfect portions and tastes so fresh. Only thing I would say is that it would be good if they can put picture comparisons of small/medium/large items on UberEats but this is a minor additional touch. I would also love if they had drinks on their UberEats menu. Apart from that no complaints!

10/10 great place with good food and good customer service. Had an issue with Uber tonight and so we drove to the restaurant to get it fixed up. The owners were beyond fantastic with the way they handled it, and made the food asap. They just made the night - places like this is what we need to get through the pandemic. And the food brings me back to the cha chaan tengs in Hong Kong, which speaks a lot in itself. Would definitely order again.

Perfect food. My partner adores their chow mein (which indeed perfect), and their chips with mild curry sauce. I'm more a fan of their salt-and-pepper squid tentacles. Filled with minerals, as tasty as the regular squid rings you're used to, but you have no idea how few places in the UK seem to do this. Oh their roast duck is as good as you hope it is, too. Fancy a little snack you'll love? Get the pork/chicken balls. Little deep fried meatballs seasoned to perfection.

Ordered off Uber eats at 22:14, waited an hour and a half for our food after realising they kept changing the delivery time, when before it was only going to take “20/30 minutes” I phoned The Magic Wok when I realised that it had been changing to be told that “your Uber driver hasn’t turned up and you will have to contact Uber directly to get your money back” I asked why we didn’t get called or have anything shown to us that our driver didn’t turn up to the man saying the same thing over and over again. Plus the conversation of me asking if I could do anything to receive the order that I had placed to then be told again “your Uber driver didn’t turn up so you will have to get your money back through them” Well, I will NOT be ordering from here again! Disgraceful.

I ordered by telephone at 6:50pm and was told to collect at 7:20pm. Having arrived at the collection time there were 14 people waiting and all keeping social distance. The chap said it wasn’t quite ready. I asked again at 7:50pm the progress and told again it was on the way. Meanwhile 3 separate customers came in, ordered off the menu and then given food within 10 to 15 minutes. At 8:15 I walk out without any food.

For many years this was our favourite chinese takeaway. In recent months we have gradually stopped ordering dishes because the quality has declined consistently to an unacceptable level (soggy chips, under cooked chicken, burnt noodles, burnt rice). We are now trying alternative chinese takeaways to find the quality that Magic Wok used to have. It's a real shame, this place used to be great.

They missed an item of food off the order. We rang back they said pop back and collect. When we got there they said we hadn’t orderd it. If we wanted it we’d have to re- pay and wait 30min. Poor customer service, and have taken money for an item we didn’t get. Rest of the food unfortunately very bland. We will be chasing up as unacceptable.

Some of the food was nice. The ribs came in batter which was a bit weird. The batter was delicious but the rib themselves were mostly fatty and flavourless. The chicken balls were nice until I found a hair wrapped around the chicken (inside the batter)!!! Luckily it was on the last one or I wouldn't have eaten any. The rice was well flavored and the spring rolls were good. The price is too much for what you get. Especially compared to other Chinese in the area that are cheaper and in my opinion better. Sorry magic wok I will not be coming back.

Spent a few hours at The Narrows yesterday afternoon with extended family. Food was good for the price and certainly can complain about the drinks but the attitude of one young girl was appalling. She was dealing with table orders and complained that there were multiple orders coming through for our table, so asked if we could just order everyone’s together. We explained that we weren’t doing large rounds as a group. When approaching the bar, she looked and made a cross with her forearms before saying ‘I’m not serving’. Really poor attitude and didn’t speak even when bringing drinks to the table. Other staff seemed much more pleasant.
