great for a take-away; a good choice of items and quick service; nothing to complain about; Atmosphere - no comment, it is a take-away.

We had just finished having some drinks in the local pub literally a 2 min walk away We arrive outside the magic wok at 21:55, checked online and it says on the door they shut at 22:30, to find it’s closed? Such a shame as we really like this Chinese and would have spent a good amount of money to have it!

We get a takeaway about once a month from here, and it's always tasty with good portions. Big choice of menu, friendly counter staff. Have never used delivery service so can't comment on that

We decided to have our Anniversary meal at home this year - they no longer do shredded chilli chicken Bt don’t tell you!! The sauce was like water out of the tap and absolutely tasteless - the lemon chicken sauce the same and chicken was so tough I’m sure it must have been cooked a few days ago. The chicken and mushroom was dark grey - yuk yuk. We have been using the Magic Wok for years - bring back Albert Cheng. We won’t be using it again

Unfortunately, the food wasn't particularly tasty. Unfortunately, the sweet and sour with mixed vegetables (sweet and sour mixed vegetables) didn't contain many fresh vegetables. Lots of onions, the odd mushroom quarter, bamboo and some green peppers. Additionally, the food wasn't hot, which it should have been if it had been freshly fried in a wok. It tasted like a microwaved meal. The red Thai curry with chicken (Thai red hot chicken curry) wasn't particularly hot, but at least it was spicy. Unfortunately, rice was only included once instead of twice for both dishes, so we had to use our own rolls at home, which fortunately we still had with us. All in all: This take-away is NOT recommended!!

Delivery time for the food was a reasonable 40 minutes and had arrived at the given time. The cost for delivery was a surprisingly low £2 for my area. The food overall is nothing special in my opinion. Wontons nicely packed and crispy, the Shredded Chilli Chicken had a reasonable balance of sweetness and spice. The Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls though look rather strange and battered sausage shaped and the Egg Fried Rice didn’t seem to have enough taste to it. An overall decent average Chinese takeaway in the Smithton area.

The Magic Wok Takeaway is the best in Inverness! After moving from Glasgow I struggled to find a takeaway that meets my tastebuds - but the Magic Wok does just that! Their food is tasty, affordable and consistent- and I wouldn't go anywhere else! They have a big menu too and the people within the takeaway are friendly, welcoming and always hardworking too! (Even on the busiest nights). 10/10 always!

Ordered a delivery took over a hour to arrive which is fine. Order was wrong phoned and was told I had to wait 40 minutes for the missing part! To top it all off everything was cold and the rice that came on the second delivery wasn’t even cooked! No answer now from restaurant

OK so, we ordered two very basic, run of the mill dishes that should be easy to perfect. Ordered two portions of chicken balls, one with chips and one with rice. One tub of gravy and one sweet and sour. Chips were like coffin nails. The chicken balls were OK, and you do get a decent portion. Sweet and sour sauce was bland. Gravy wasnt your traditional Chinese takeaway gravy, was OK though. The prawn crackers were the final straw. It's a staple. How you can get them so wrong is beyond me. Won't be back regardless of the fact its the closest to me, would rather drive to the far side of town for quality.

Absolutely disgraceful! This should be called The Tragic Wok. I've had more substantial cup a soups than the hot and sour soup and the chillie ribs, what a joke! One inch long knuckles with hardly any meat on them, plenty of fat though. Flavourless too. The beef with green peppers was almost passable with a tiny amount of beef and the chicken chow mein had hardly any chicken in it. I messaged them but haven't received a reply. Myself and my family were very disappointed. 0/5 stars.

Food was cold and very stodgy. I ordered special fried rice, rice was overcooked and there wasn't much apart from chicken in the rice. My daughter had shredded chilli chicken. The sauce was basically honey, no veg, onion or chillies in it. Really disappointed as I've heard really good things about the magic wok. Won't be ordering again. Should've stuck with my usual Chinese, lucky house in nairn. Never disappoints.

This restaurant saved me from starvation. My hotel refused to serve me food because of my food allergies so I had to look for food elsewhere. The gentleman taking orders was kind enough to investigate all my questions with regards to the type of oil they used to cook with. He hesitated to take my order due to a language barrier and concern for confusion and explained it to me. Fortunately, one of the chefs spoke Mandarin (which I speak as well) and I was able to communicate with him about my needs and food allergies. He understood and said he would be willing to make it for me in a way (with olive oil) that I could consume and to not worry. It was the best shrimp fried rice I ever had. Thank you so much. Truly.

If somewhere was to bankrupt us it would be here. Not because of the prices, as they're very reasonable but because of how much we go there. The salt n spicy chips are absolutely the best chips I have ever tasted. I regularly grab a box, eat on the way home and then enjoy the main meal. The Kung po is also the best we've ever had. Rich and subtly sweet.

We were on holiday in the area and struggled to find a good takeaway. Eventually decided on the Magic Wok takeaway and travelled a little further to get to it. Couldn’t be more pleased we did. It was one of the best Chinese takeaways we’ve had in years. The food was all flavoursome, unlike lots of takeaways near us which just taste of noodles. It was also hot and it was a pleasant surprise to see really fresh ingredients used in all the dishes. Only wish there was one this good where we live in England.

Usually good food from Magic Wok. Home delivery was good. But almost inedible - far, far too salty. Did ring them and let them know so hopefully it will improve.I think that it was in the chicken Chow mien. I also had shredded beef and asked for chillis but didn't taste any chilli. Need to listen to your customers.

What a pity that the magic wok have gone so downhill. I've used them since they first started operating but won't be ordering from here again. The ingredients are the cheapest and lately I've just ended up binning the food and wasting my money. So time to look around for an authentic take away where a curry tastes like a curry and a chow mein doesn't taste like something out of Jimmy Chung. And the chicken noodle soup - yuk. They used to be a decent takeaway but no longer!

You can't sit in this takeaway but it's an excellent takeaway. It's always very busy and the food is very reasonably priced. You get larger than average portions of delicious food from here. The food that I've had from here wasn't fatty or greasy and was full of flavour and texture.

En realidad es como él odia que sirve clientes tanto que prefiero no volver. También él no siquiera pronunciar las palabras correctamente.

First of all, I have to point out that I'm not sure if I should be more angry at those who made this "food" or at me, who also thought I should eat it. I should have turned around straight away and gone to bed hungry. The signs were all there. From the outside, the shop looked as if it had closed, the "menu" on DinA4 sheets in neon colors slapped on the wall. There wasn't a single Asian person to be seen in an Asian snack bar. The mixed appetizer platter consisted of pieces of fish, 2 different spring rolls, wontons, and spare ribs. Everything except the spare ribs (which had maybe 30g of meat in total) were fried beyond recognition and came with a neon-colored sweet and sour sauce. The Peking soup was the worst I've ever had and it had as much to do with Beijing as I had with the South Pole. I also ordered the Korean noodles with “roasted duck”... I'll probably never understand what the duck is supposed to be roasted. It doesn't matter because I definitely won't be ordering anything there again. I don't want to bash anyone here, I know very well how difficult it is to have to earn a living in the catering industry. But there are things that don't work. If you can't do something then you have to get help.

Lovely takeaway with a wide choice on the menu. Only waited 10 minutes for our order, quite a few orders coming through by phone for pickup. Could not fault friendliness of young lad taking orders, very chatty and polite . Portions are very generous and well worth the price
