The Wok Inn in County Durham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best Chinese takeaway hands down. It has a massive selection for vegan and vegetarian as well as every dish you can think of. Generous portions and always fresh. My wife has had a variety from the vegan menu and thinks it is fantastic food. Always excellent service even when it is delivered.

Had a family meal here on a Thursday night. We were the only people there eating jn, but takeaway orders were flying out! Food was excellent, and we were very well looked after. We did order too much, as the portions were pretty generous.

This was lovely ! Food was great a full vegetarian and vegan menu food tasty, beautiful and clean and staff friendly service it was first class we couldn’t fault it! 3 two course meals plus 4 drinks £85 not bad at all !

Ordered food for collection at 18:40 (its 19:50 now) and when ordering is says on average 20 minutes but can take longer on weekends but updates will be sent. Checking both the email, texts and the app that it is ordered through the only thing showing was "order confirmed" but nothing after that as to whether it was ready or what. Called up the restaurant after it being over an hour and no update and got spoken too like crap. The person who answered the phone immediately took an attitude and said "yeah its ordered for collection", advised her that we knew it was for collection but that we didn't know if it was ready as we had no updates, she stated we should've had an email to the spam folder but nothing was there and the app that was tracking had nothing either. She then started to groan to a colleague that we were asking for an update and didn't just come for the food. She proceeded to be rude when we stated we had no update and was wondering what was happening and said "whatever" to us. Customer service is appalling and they said we could come get it now as if nothing would be fresh anymore. Don't bother calling as even when you get through the service is horrible.

This was a first visit and a 25 mile round trip in the hope wr could find a nice Chinese takeaway as the ones near us aren't good. It was the worst takeaway we've ever had without exaggeration. Tasteless, full of oil and the chips were rock hard as if they had been reheated several times. If they can't even prepare some fresh chips then that just about sums then up. Avoid like the plague is our advice.

Orderd delivery last night which was pretty quick ,but the food itself was awful . We had 2 special fried rice and 1 special foo yung. The rice was dry as sticks and totally tasteless , it contained chewy tough dark beef , dry char su pork and a weird textured chicken and loads if peas no prawns ??? The foo yung was really salty and greasy totally inedible really really disappointing over all . And expensive over 25£ for 3 dishes that ended up in the bin .

Ordered takeaway for the third time. I always get the vegan munch box and did again today, with extra vegetable chow mien and sweet & sour sauce. Unfortunately, due to new staff I was accidentally sent egg fried rice but as soon as I messaged them, they rang me back. They are also quick to answer questions via instagram. Can’t wait to order again.

The Singapore vermicelli was tasteless and the the batter on the salt and pepper prawns was pale and soggy. Prices have gone up quite a lot since we last ordered. There are lots of alternatives.

Firstly this is our go to chinese restaurant. So Im a little bias, but Ive not left a review before, and they deserve it. Ordered food for delivery via their website. Ordered house special kung po and house special with cashew nut - our favourite! Egg fried rice and a portion of chips. Food was delicious 10/10, service 10/10. Yet to find a reason to go anywhere else. Keep up the good work!

Nothing open anywhere on a Monday night in this part of the world..... so, ended up at New Wok Inn in Brandon - couldn’t be bothered to drive to Durham!! Have looked at other reviews and have to say our experience could not have been more different! Service outstanding from the single waiter; OK so he wasn’t rushed off his feet with only one other couple in the restaurant but he was very attentive. Food was some of best Chinese ever eaten. Fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. We had fish platter for two to start which was spicy and interesting - really good start. Then it was wonderful crispy duck in plum sauce and sizzling chicken in black bean sauce. Both delicious and large portions; we couldn’t finish!! All in all a great Chinese - restaurant clean and beautifully laid out with ethnic tables and chairs- would be a great place for big family meal or group fun night out.... We live too far way to return but would be very happy to do so!

Disappointing from the word go. Food served by a scruffy looking English bloke in a flat cap and denims. Not very authentic. Very slow for food to come out sporadically (it wasn't very busy), and the food itself was exceptionally bland with really cheap ingredients but not cheaply priced, in fact as soon as we saw the menu we were dreading the final bill but were trapped in a family birthday type scenario we couldnt walk out of. We asked for prawn sesame toasts and after having a few mouthfuls of CHICKEN was told they "put a little chicken in to bind it like usual. Err, no I have never ever been served chicken sold as prawns. Just dreadful.

Awful food! Ordered on line, mistakenly booked collection instead of delivery, rang to check and they said the food had just come out of the kitchen and they would deliver after all. Brilliant. Our food arrived 40 mins later which means it had stood for that long obviously, the mixed starters were terrible, stone cold and tasteless, my Prawn fried rice was diabolical, rubbery prawns and as dry as sticks, the peas were totally dried up,no flavour at all, it went straight in the bin, my husbands beef and black bean sauce was flavourless too, my daughter had mixed veg with rice and she said it was average at best. We had food from here a couple of years ago which wasn’t great, thought we would give it another try, never again.

We love coming here it is always excellent service and the food is fantastic! We have the banquets and add the duck which is really tasty. We would definitely recommend the restaurant.

We visited for a dinner for two in the early evening during the week. We had reserved a table and received a friendly welcome. We chose a banquet meal as we had not visited previously and were unsure of the individual meals offered so went for the safer option. The restaurant is comfortable with the tables not too close together, there is background music but it is not too obtrusive. The food was good, tasty and enjoyable. The delay between courses was acceptable albeit we were in the restaurant for nearly two hours for three courses with a bottle of wine. We will return and maybe try one of the chefs speciality meals after a soup starter. Overall it was an enjoyable meal in good surroundings

Takeaway was ready in 20 minutes and cost £19. We got chicken chow mein, house special chow mein in sauce, mixed appetisers and a bag of prawn crackers. Food was really tasty and hot.

Tuesday evening and it was quiet, which was a blessing, cause we had a noisy 1and half year old with us. The staff were lovely. They did a brilliant job of decorating our tables/area with 50th birthday banners. They were very friendly, efficient and helpful. The food was nice. Most of us had a banquet, which was 3 courses. I myself couldn't have managed 3 courses. I didn't manage to finish 2 courses lol. We were all stuffed by the time we left!!

Visited for the lunch buffet on Sunday. Food wasn’t life changing but it was good- fresh, tasty and hot. The dishes were replaced regularly and quickly. Prawn crackers were delicious too. Selection isn’t massive but the dishes are the usual popular ones and they are done well. Definitely worth a visit and I would definitely return, great value for money!

Visited the Wok last night. They were very busy but accommodated our party of 10 as booked and had a large round table reserved for us. Despite being busy, the staff were very friendly and attentive and looked after us well.We all opted for the Banquet A menu. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Tried the buffet on Sunday. Great price. Gorgeous soup and prawn crackers. Good starters. Not much choice of mains and didn’t see them refreshed. Chicken was empty all of the time. Meals were labelled incorrectly. Chios were cold. Disgusting cake - could be improved and with more fruit. Good price for drinks. Friends staff but won’t be returning.

Went here last night for a meal, it was really nice, starters and hot and sour soup were lovely and all mains, the only thing i would say is the curry was nice and thick which i like it that way, but it didnt really have any taste and wasnt hot enough (spicy) will return though.

The all you can eat buffet Sunday lunch represents excellent value. It includes starters, mains and puddings and there is a choice to suit most tastes. The buffet was constantly replenished and the food hot enough if you choose from the newly filled dishes. I wouldn't describe the food itself as outstanding or out of the ordinary but it's tasty and satisfying. One thing that did impress me was the friendliness of the staff and the way they made young children welcome.

Went for a meal with my family as we often get takeaway from this restaurant which is always consistently really good in terms of quality quantity and cost so decided to try the restaurant itself . Very impressed the takeaways are good but the food in the restaurant is even better . We had a number of dishes which were all good and I finally understand why people like lemon chicken ( usually not a favourite of mine ) as theirs was excellent and I now realise what it should taste like.

The outside sign caught my eye; “all you can eat for £7.50.” But it turns out it’s only on a Sunday. Also the place opens for 7 days - only from 5:30pm to 11pm. But – it does open for lunch - Thurs to Sat from 12pm to 2pm. And there is a limited takeaway option during the Thurs to Sat lunch opening times for £7.50 that includes a starter, main and side dish. Very complex scheduling or what? So we got two lunchtime takeaways – and they were very good as Chinese dishes go. So I can only recommend this revamped Wok-inn based on the food we enjoyed. The food was delicious. I didn't go in.

Called in on spec on Saturday evening. The restaurant was nearly full, but the staff found us a table for 2. Although we were told there might have to wait as it was very busy, the staff were great and we were served as normal. The food was fantastic, fresh and delicious. Always enjoy our visits here, it is becoming very popular. Highly recommended.

Went for the new Sunday buffet. Was put in a room right at the back of restaurant, no music or staff. You had to walk through another room last all toilets and through reception and across main restaurant. Going through reception with food trying to get past people waiting is awful! Selection was shocking, I thought it was a joke at first. Used to come for years but def won’t be back. The guy was canny but other staff rude and unhelpful

We used to go here on a regular basis and really liked the all you can eat buffet . We decided to return only to be diss appointed that they took the buffet menu off , anyway we thought we'd try it anyhow so we ordered the buffet for two people as there were 4 of us we ordered one per couple the £20 one we got two satay skewers each two lovely prawn toasts each BBQ pork ribs and veg spring rolls and sweet chilli dip and crispy seaweed all were nice not much flavour on the ribs but prawn toasts were to die for . Then our second course was crispy duck with hoisin sauce which was nice . Then our mains which we ordered what was on chicken and cashew nuts , some sort of spicy pepper steak , and Singapore battered king prawns and egg fried rice the other couple had same apart from they had sweet sour chicken instead of chicken and cashew nuts all was really nice followed by coffee n ice cream would go back as service is a lot better was very slow before when the other owners had it . Came again recently had the buffet menu soup , mixed platter and a choice of main I had Szechuan king prawns everything else was amazing soup and starters but that was way to sweet was very similar to the sweet and sour and Cantonese sauce but way sweeter didn’t like it ate the prawns left the sauce but I will still go back but not order that was expecting a sauce more spicy less sweet but having said that the rest was really good top marks service very good and waitress are really helpful and friendly . Love the decor lovely place to have a sit down meal with friends or family or parties with comfortable seating .

Ate here for the first time lastnight. Had the £16.99 banquet and wow what a treat. Ordered the crispy duck also and in the end had to take the main courses and side orders home.

had meal tonight after 2 years of not eating here because the food was terrible , took a chance tonight after hearing new owners were in , and I must say the food was perfect ,cant find one fault , met the manager very friendly and the waitress was very helpfull in advising us regards to the dishes, a must place to try if you like chinese food , I had a fantastic Chicken curry , perfect , we will be back there often now .

My friend and her family are vegan and have been going here for so long, and so frequently, that the owner has started to stock a range of vegan meats and sells a full vegan Chinese banquet with the usual items replaced with vegan alternatives such as mock-duck pancakes, tofu satay, vegan chicken and so on. I’m not usually a lover of fake meat but this was superb and such a lovely change to be able to eat all of the courses on the banquet.

Lovely food great service enjoy there take aways to never had a bad meal there over the years on my door step to so even better

My sister, her partner, their son and myself visited tonight and had a starter and a main. The manager Andy was extremely helpful with the menu and very attentive, nothing was to much trouble. Our starters came quickly and were so delicious my brother in law had asked for the crab claw and as there was only one Andy had asked him to choose another option. When the starters came out the chef had prepared the mussels and also the crab claw dish to try. This was such a lovely touch. We all had mains and again they were fantastic. The meat was so succulent and full of flavour. I would go through what we all had but I have no doubt what ever is ordered here will be second to none. The waitress was shy but polite and as she gained confidence she seemed to build a good report with us all. In conclusion we have had a fantastic experience here at the new wok inn and will most definitely be returning :)

Have been before, maybe over 1 year ago. Management and menu changed. Good choice from a la carte, or from set meals or banquet. We chose set meal with a few changes which was no problem. Mixed starters were fantastic, duck course excellent, and main course delicious. Really pleasant and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Visited this restaurant for the first time with family. We were very impressed with the menu choices, and ordered the banquet meal with crispy duck. The food was so delicious with ample portion sizes, enough to keep our hungry grandson very happy!!

We ate here on a Sunday night so it was very quiet but still a good atmosphere. We had the £16.99 4 course banquet and really enjoyed it. The food was all hot and there was plenty to eat. The two ladies serving were both lovely and very friendly and helpful. Well worth the 10 minute taxi ride from Durham where we were staying.

Beautiful food and excellent value on the 4 course banquet meal! Lovely friendly service too! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back!

Went to the Wok Inn last night absolutely fab, food was fantastic staff very friendly and looked after us well, would definitely recommend the Wok Inn for food. Fab night.

New year's Eve festive banquet ... lovely. An excellent evening. Thank you to Andy and all the staff.

After debating wether we went the pavilion or here we decided on here on a Wednesday night. We were surprised...

We had sweet and sour chicken hong kong style and duck in a plum sauce. Both delicious. The chicken was...

Went here for dinner after church @ Good Word Minsitries and was surprised by the quality and great customer service...

Staying fairly nearby and found this place via the internet. Although it doesn't look too appealing from the outside it...

Must agree with previous reviewer this beats pavilion at Ivesley Consett. Friendly service combined with great food, top marks.

Have just had a wonderful meal, food excellent , great service, friendly staff, would definitely recommend xx

We went on a Monday evening when it was fairly quiet but I understand that it is busier on other nights if you want a more lively atmosphere. The food and the surroundings were good and the service was helpful and efficient.

Very pleasant nice food and good service. decor is hardcore Chinese but nice. Can recommend the Crispy duck and pancakes

Fantastic food, friendly staff. Lovely decor. First time visit will definitely come again. The food was divine.

This is the first time we have been to this Restaurant we were met by Andy the Front of House Manager very polite and showed us to our table. Our drinks and meal order was taken by a polite waitress. My Wife had the Chicken Satay's and I had King Prawns in Chilly Sauce both very tasty. For our main meal my asked if she could have Chicken & Cashew Nuts as it was not on normal menu. Yes not a problem was Andy's reply. I had Sizzling Lamb in Satay Sauce. They both came out on Sizzling Plates and tasted amazing. After the main meal Andy came to us and asked if we wanted deserts.We don't normally have deserts but Andy said that he was trying out 2 New Desertsa Manchester Tart which my Had and a Rhubarb and Cherry Taut. My wife's came with 2 pieces of fresh orange & a scoop of Ice cream and mine with 2 thin slithers of Lime with the ice cream. The Best Deserts I have had. Andy said thanks for being he Guiney Pigs and said the next we come Deserts are on him. We were going back anyway.

Went here on Wednesday night with my work family and wow what a lovely time we had staff were fantastic and food was beautiful defiantly recommend 5* service wow we got a mixture of different starters and all I can is is wow

This place has been taken over in recent months and it's certainly changed for the better! Salt and Pepper chicken a personal favourite! Front of house staff seem very jolly and the atmosphere generally much improved. Orders always ready as quoted and staff do seem to enjoy working there these days. Will be back again soon!

I must be honest, as a stranger visiting close to Durham I had no idea if placing an order here was sensible when trying to feed six family members on a bit of a reunion. But, took the positive views of others on Trip Adviser and plunged in. All too often, Chinese takeaways can be too greasy and obviously reheats.So, we were all thoroughly persuaded that this is a gem, hidden off the A690 in Brandon Village and within reachable distance of Durham, or Willington where we were renting. Placing an order was easy through a very friendly woman (we used their online menu to prepare the pick-list); front-of-house woman was also very friendly. Recently revamped, a quick peek at the restaurant was also promising if that is your preference.All the dishes we tried were fantastically well prepared, spiced, cooked, etc. To give you an idea - Crispy Aromatic duck with pancakes, etc; spring rolls (we chose meat-filled but vegetarian is on the menu); Singapore Fried rice; mixed vegetable chow mein; sweet and sour pork (often a total failure but well balanced, definitely not cloying); deep fried beef shanghai style; the usual prawn crackers of course. The dishes we ordered only scratch the surface of the menu and if we were here longer, no doubt we would revisit.Just one of those gems, worth the short trip out of Durham (which is very well served by restaurants of course) or other nearby villages/towns. Really.

Been looking for a Chinese restaurant in our area for a while, and overheard someone mention The New Wok. We decided to try it. We usually go to The Pavilion in Consett but that is a 45 minute drive, this is only 15 mins. Must say it was a very enjoyable meal and would recommend it to anyone. The mixed meat curry was one of the best chinese curries I have had for many years. We were made very welcome, and will definitely repeat the experience. Thank you to Andy and the staff.

9 of the family booked The New Wok Inn for our Grandson's 21sr Birthday. Very smart after the refurbishment, great food and drink, top class sevice and great atmosphere at a good price.

We visited the new wok inn for a birthday celebration and the food and service was five star. I would definitely recommend a visit and we hope to return very soon. There is also a take away service

We visited for the first time on a Saturday night as we had heard good thing's. It was very quiet for a Saturday night with only a few tables taken. On arriving I commented the outside could do with a clean down and a good sweep of the car park as it looks a little run down. Once inside the manager greeted us and was chatty throughout the evening. We all picked the 4 course meal with the added duck. They were happy to change some of the items on the set menu so this was a plus. Meals came out slow and steady which we didn't might as we were happy to sit and talk but when we checked the time it was a good 3 hours and after 10pm when we left. From taking to the manager I got the impression he was set up to match the Pavilion up in Lanchester. If you have been to the Pavilion you will know how fabulous it is altho a little pricey but they do a great job. The wok in fails on so many counts... Plates come out warm but then the food takes so long to follow the plates are cold... The food Warmers are a miss as by the time yur going round for seconds the food is cold.... No spoons in the sauces had to ask for some... Requested chop sticks but non came.... One spoon for 5 coffees... No hot towels... The manager needs to let the staff serve as he seems to be in the way a lot.As for the food... This was fine but nothing better that an average take away, seemed to lack taste. Will we return.... I'd rather spend that little but extra and go to the Pavilion.

We came across the New Wok Inn, when we found out at the last moment that they weren't serving dinner at the Bay Horse, and were at a loss as to where we could eat - but thankfully just a short walk down the road we found the New Wok, and were lucky to get a table for two without booking, the place was very busy on a Saturday evening. And what a find - the food was above average, as were the very attentive staff - high praise to the girl who served us, it was her first night there but you would never have known! She was friendly, efficient and a credit to the restuarant. Nice atmosphere, and a bright and comfortable restuarant - we would recommend it.

The new wok inn has just been redecorated great service and excellent food defenitly worth a visit plenty of dishes to choose from

Had family visiting from down south and took them for a meal, by far the best meal we have all had in a very long time, the food was perfect from starter to desert, lovely surroundings and atmosphere, and the staff were very pleasant and friendly and attentive, and also the price was the best value for money I've experienced in a long time! I will definitely be making this place a regular visit for myself and my family!!

Went here after finding out our hotel wasn't doing food (bay horse inn). Two of us had a starter and main course at a cost of only £36. All the food was absolutely fantastic. Plenty of prawn crackers while waiting for the food. A must for fans of Chinese food in the area

What a wonderful experience we've had tonight, the food and service were fantastic!! The manager introduced us to the owner and chef and what a lovely gentleman he is. We have eaten at the pavilion before, but anyone wanting a Chinese meal I'd recommend the new wok inn well ahead of the pavilion!Wok inn food is truly wondrous!! Please visit you won't regret it.

Called for an early evening meal and wasn't disappointed. We had the 4 course banquet and it was excellent. We couldn't fault anything. We will definitely be going back.

Really lovely restaurant.Staff were great and very attentive.We had the £14.90 lunch special. Great quality of food, Good portions and we will definitely be going back.

We booked for 14 people for our Grandaughter's Birthday. The food was excellent, great choice and the service first class. Will definitely return everyone had a great night at a good price.

Late on the evening of Thursday 16th March 2017, I visited the New Wok Inn, Take Away section.I made my order, which was prepared and presented, I paid for my food and left, in the car park I tried to start my car, only to find the battery had gone flat !!!.So stuck, with my food now going to get cool.AA called, and gave a 45 minute response time, I popped back into the premises, and the staff placed the food in a thermal container to keep warm.Whilst waiting the cold night bit a little, the manager popped out and offered me a seat in the warm, which I accepted, he the offered a cup of coffee, No Charge, he was very pleasant, and empathised with my predicament.AA turned up and got me on my way, I thanked he Manager for his hospitality.The food, given the curcumstances was hot, the quality was good, the flavours excellent, my family have booked a table for 6 for my forthcoming 60th birthday.I recommend the food. Enjoy.

We used to go here on a regular basis and really liked the all you can eat buffet . We decided to return only to be diss appointed that they took the buffet menu off , anyway we thought we'd try it anyhow so we ordered the buffet for two people as there were 4 of us we ordered one per couple the £20 one we got two satay skewers each two lovely prawn toasts each BBQ pork ribs and veg spring rolls and sweet chilli dip and crispy seaweed all were nice not much flavour on the ribs but prawn toasts were to die for .

Called in for an early tea on Saturday with the family and surprised at how nice it was. It's been years since we've visited as we had a bad experience with shocking service about 10 years ago! However new management and service was excellent. Food was good too. Didnt wait too long and food was well presented and plenty of it too. Well worth a visit.

I was a little apprehensive at first as I was the only diner. Yes they had room - lots of it! I am always nervous when the place is empty but I had read some good reviews so I chanced my luck - and boy was I glad I did.The food was superb, well cooked and tasty. Service was excellent. I enjoyed a banquet for one which was a tasty price!Overall a hidden gem and well worth a visit - give the owner some custom - I'm sure he will appreciate it - you will too

Ordered a selection of meals from the Take Away Menu. Whilst waiting, the staff showed us around the dining area, very nice, due to be refurbished this month, so I expect there will be some improvement.Our meals were served quiet quickly, got home, the meals were hot, and very satisfying,Would recommend this establishment to friends and familyNB, I had previously visited the establishment under the old management, the difference is as clear as day and night

We always order takeaway from here, numerous starters and sides between me and my husband. Always enjoy everything we order, only niggle is BBQ ribs this evening were dry? Normally are served in a tasty BBQ sauce.

We had an evening meal at the restaurant shortly after it had been taken over, although we hadn't realised that at the time, so we were a bit confused when the menu was totally different to the one we looked at online. The staff were very nice, but considering there were only two other tables in the whole restaurant, the service was painfully slow. We were there for almost two hours just for a soup starter and mains for 2 people. There were a few other minor things e.g. the bill being wrong, drinks not arriving etc. The soup was nice but the main courses were not particularly tasty so unfortunately it's unlikely that we would eat here again.

Decided to give it a try since it has been took over so went in for a takeaway. The girl who served me was very pleasant and helpful. The food was nice and not expensive.

We had lunch 2 days ago at the new wok inn and the food was lovely and the atmosphere was great. Will be going back with the kids again soon!

I took my wife, daughter and 12 month old grandson for lunch the food was excellent and the service efficient and friendly. The high chair provided was clean and easy to use.I will be going back to start working my way through the menu.

I recently dined here after winning a competition on facebook to attend the official launch night of the restaurant since it has been taken over.Food was gorgeous, everything was hot and tasty. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The décor hasn't changed as much as I remembered but has definitely been refreshed. As it was the launch night the tables were very nicely arranged with floral centerpieces and beautiful table cloths - not sure if this is something they will continue using or if just for special events? Lovely to see the management and owners trying to re-launch this restaurant back to being great again. Having been a former customer I used to dine here regularly but unfortunately it went really down-hill. I will definitely be back and will be telling all my family and friends about it.Wishing the new owners and management every success with it. Would be fab to have a great Chinese restaurant on the door step again :-)

Went to the private function held by the new management and it was an excellent night the food was amazing and the atmosphere was just as good will recommend that everyone try it because since new management has taken over the place has taken a total revamp and 100% better than previous

First time at the new wok inn since it has been took over. Very good food and reasonably priced. Will be back again soon

Couldn't get a table at the Pavilion Consett but really fancied Cantonese so thought we'd give this place a try and we're so pleased we did. The food was amazing and to be honest just as good as the Pavilion, reasonably priced and worth every penny, we will return many times I'm sure and we plan to te!l all our friends and family about it, we met the owner who is also one of the chefs and he and the rest of the staff were lovely.

This is the first time we've been since it reopened. The food was fantastic. The staff very attentive. We will certainly be going back again.

It was good food and excellent service. Enjoyed the sizzling spring onion and ginger beef. A nice place for a quiet chat.

service excellent, food great especially the vegan " Monk's Banquet ". The 4 course banquet is great value but can be too much to eat. plenty of other choice dishes from the other two menus.

Since it has been taken over I'm loving the food. We went on Saturday was really busy. We ordered various starters and main courses I was over stuffed to capacity ,a lot of food for the price I was in Chinese comatose . Thankfully the new owners don't argue like the previous ones, the service was excellent , they cannot do enough for you! well happy with our visit be back again next week.

Will be back here next time I am in the area - very good food, service, decor, and very reasonable price for the quality

In July we had a fantastic takeaway meal so when our brother and sister in law came from Melton Mowbray we thought we would go to the restaurant for a evening meal. after the starters my husband was sick.The Duck was very dry the sauce was a thick paste.the main meal arrived with no plates or bowls.the waiter had to go back to get the bowls which one of the bowls was chipped and the we asked the waiter to replace it. the chicken was pre cooked re heated and had a odd taste. We do like chillie in our food it was however over powering again my husband had to go out to be sick.we all fell rather queasy after a single mouthful of each dish. as it was unpalatable we got up paid the bill and left.

Worst meal I have had in over 50 years and I have eaten in restaurants all over the world my brother who was with me sick within 10 minutes of eating first course we left after tasting main course which was completely inedible

Visited the wok Inn Saturday the 15th of October, unaware that it has changed owners, and is now called The New Wok Inn. Nice new touches in the decor, bamboo blinds, new place settings, menus, and the fish are back in the pond. Only dissapointment was we were the only two people in the restaurant, which i am sure will soon change. Love Chinese food, unfortunatley Durham only has two good Chinese restaurants in my opinion, The New Wok Inn being one of them. Haven't eaten here for a few months, as for us it's a taxi ride each way to get there. Anyway after previously eating there and always having lovely food, we were not dissapointed. We had ribs and duck spring rolls to start, both very good, followed by deep fried chilli beef in peking sauce, and king prawns in a honey and chilli sauce with egg fried rice, and soft noodles, all very good. Lovely bottle of Pinot Grigio too. will be back soon.

Singaporean family craving some decent Chinese food after a week of chips and sandwiches. Delighted to chance upon this gem of a place. Ask for their special menu.... mapo taufoo was as good as anything I've had in Sinapore and the cumin lamb was also amazing. They also do local Chinese cuisince but would definitely recommend the special menu!

There has been a new owner running The New Wok Inn for the last 2 months and the food is delicious. We have been a few times and the choice of food on the new menu is great and at a very good price. The owner has sorted the service out with people who have a lot of experience at waiting tables and has some great ideas for the future. It is great night out with a brilliant atmosphere.

We used the Wok Inn for a take away having lived near by for many years. The food was of an excellent quality and we really enjoyed it.The crispy duck is exceptional, chicken curry good, beef in oyster sauce really nice, crispy noodles lovely, rice good, prawn crackers beautiful.My only issue was the chips, not nice at all.That said I would recommend the Wok Inn and we will certainly be making a return visit.

Got a leaflet through the door saying under new management so decided to give it a go, crispy duck and pancakes, special curry and sweet and sour Peking style all really good, very generous portions and very tasty.

Great value for money,chicken foo yung is simply divine, beautiful curry sauce, chips and fried rice, sometimes the meats taste a bit like pre-packed instead of fresh though. Having said that we always scoff the lot.

Food was excellent had special for £16 .95 which included soup starters main course n dessert. The portion were a good size the plates were hot and the so was the food .dishes were well presented. Staff polite and pleasant . I was surprised that it was not busy . I would definitely go back

Thanks to the person you said they had changed ownership. We have gone there for years and had frequent take aways from them. Rang up to order about a month ago and got some garbled message about it being shut until end July for training. As their English is never that good, thought we had misunderstood. Now know why! Dont know how good they are but probably wont be going back. Pity they were good and food delicious. Clicked on 2 rating just so we could pass cooment.

Being going here for awhile but it has under new management and just not as good it's fine just not as nice the chicken was tuff and the sweet and sour sauce is not as nice and the price of the meals have gone up a lot so I will have to fined a new take away

Recently taken over... Broiled chow mein, frozen chicken.. Microwave rice... The only decent thing was prawn crackers ( bought in aswell as I had the same supplier in an english pub) and they didnt even understand what part of duck was being cooked. Avoid at all costs and buy uncle bens homemade...it woukd probably taste better. Abysmal phone service, and collection. If I coukd give less than one star I would...such a shame because this was one if the best cuisines in the area until this new takeover!

Not even worth 1 circle , poor phone service, poor food quality, no sign of under new management .Will not be back again. When questioned looked confused and disoriented.

Been here a few times as the meals are delicious and u can eat as much as u like within reason service is great n staff are friendly plus it's well worth it a must visit

Went here tonight with my husband and daughter for the first time and it will certainly be our last. Awful from start to finish. Staff are all void of a personality and the guy that served us was wearing an oriental style jacket that was raggy and dirty. Our table and the menus were sticky. Food very poor. My white wine spritzer was nearly all soda. Really could hardly taste any wine and wasnt even served in a wine glass. Oh and they didnt have a couple of things that were on the menu. An absolute waste of the £60 thst it cost us. Should have just gone to McDonalds

Visited here with the family on bank holiday Sunday and the service was grim was show to a table in the window and was very cold there was 3 staff on and not one new what they were doing asked for drinks and 3 of them they didn't have then was served a warm can of cider the food came altogether and all tasted the same was 14.95 each as its a all you can eat so when my son asked for more ribs they totally forgot to bring them would not recommend this to anyone very poor value for money

One of the best Chinese food experiences I have ever had. Particularly recommend the crispy duck, not the cheapest but the all you can eat means that you make sure you get your moneys worth. Most of the food is very nice and the service is pretty good. However it can be a little chilly in the winter. Somewhere we go as a treat.

I've lived less than .5 mile from here and haven't been for ages! Went tonight and can't hands down say it was the best Chinese meal I've had. Great surroundings, friendly staff and the price was good for the amount we ate! Highly recommended

We had a wonderful evening.For one price we could order what we wanted and then ask for more.The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I would certainly recommend it to everyone and will certainly be returning myself.
