We have been using Top Wok for over 4 years now. The food quality has gone down rapidly. Stodgy Rice, Vegetable Curry with a tiny bit of vegetables, Beansprouts very greasy, Banana Fritters battered for too long and so dry with no sauce at all. We have given you the benefit of the doubt now for too long. Your new management needs sorting out. You have now lost our custom. We will not return.

Had a takeaway from here Sunday 3rd November, I asked for egg fried rice,it wasn’t white as it should be it was brown, Luke warm and honestly it was a load of stodge like porridge to the point you couldn’t separate it, Beef curry also like warm , gravy was so thick and meat looked like liver , it was disgusting 🤮 an absolute waste of time and money, whole lot was thrown away, just wish Happy Friar excepted card payments because their food is excellent.

Positives; Good portion sizes Food generally well cooked Allow amendments to set meals Complimentary prawn crackers Open kitchen Negatives; Still giving out 2023 dated menu & online- so prices are wrong and consequently charged more when given total . Can’t recommend delivery especially on the weekends, as can be a long wait. With those points- won’t give it five stars .

I am a tourist, visiting from China. I went to topwok and this was the most amazing experience I have had since visiting the UK. This place felt like home, the food, the atmosphere, the service. 10/10 quality Chinese food. Come to topwok if you want grease-free, delicious, delectable takeaway. I am not exaggerating, this was one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever been to, coming from a Chinese person who eats Chinese very often! I highly recommend coming to topwok for a true Chinese experience like no other. Topwok, thank you. I WILL be returning!!

We've been happy & regular customers of Top Wok for over 6 years - however, no longer. They're recenently under new management and the service is truly appalling! Orders taken by a surly person, who wants cash payment on delivery rather than card payment on order - bad business practice right there! Deliveries now take absolute ages. Twice I've had to chase an order having been told 40 minutes for delivery. Tonights made at 6.57, which queried 8.01; I was told 'another 10 minutes' and it arrived at 8.30! We're 1,2 miles away!! I miss the friendliness and efficency of the previous owners, so will not be using Top Wok again.

I left 3/4 of my order Chicken satay skewers - sauce was nice , chicken was dry and tasteless Duck in Cantonese sauce - sauce was gross , the duck itself was ok Prawn pad Thai- prawns were big but completely dry , pad Thai was tasteless Egg fried rice - I love egg fried rice but I left most of this , again just very bland My neighbour said their most recent takeaway was not great either from here Big shame as it used to be amazing 😢

TERRIBLE - Utterly terrible, having been a customer of Top Wok for 4 years I wanted to support a local business and order from them - the food was 4 hours late! Yes, 4 hours later and DIDN’T TURN UP!! When I called periodically to see what was happening I was told every time it would be 20 minutes, 20 minutes, 20 minutes - NO APOLOGY!! After calling 31 times!!! I was greeted with a very rude lady and was told it was simply because they were busy. NOT GOOD ENOUGH - I had pre-ordered. A friend of mine ( who lives one street over) also ordered at the same time as me and got their food - COLD & INEDIBLE! The food was greasy, grey and GRIM! This business has really gone down hill!

Absolutely diabolical. From start to finish the customer service was appalling. Initially told 60-90 mins so we went ahead and ordered. After 100 mins we rang to be told it’ll be another 20 minutes. Still no sign. We rang 45 minutes later to be told it’d arrived soon. 25 minutes later we finally sat down and ate some luke warm food. Refund was offered on our next order. Fat chance there.Definitely not worth the ~3 hour wait. I look forward to exploring other Chinese takeaways in the local area. Fancy this takeaway? Order now for delivery around Christmas.

Very disappointed- first the good, the prawn toasts and pancake rolls were good. The chop suey was vile - bright orange chicken in a watery sweet sauce, beef in black bean - beef was tough. The batter around the chicken balls was about an inch thick and uncooked in places and the pad Thai noodles were broken up due to being over cooked, and had little flavour. Add to this the 1hour and 15 minute wait and it’s a no from us...not to be repeated

We ordered our meal at 7:30pm to then get a phone call at 8:25pm telling us that they had run out of chicken balls so what would we like instead I advised that it should not have taken 55minutes to tell me this. She stated we could have some stuff we didn’t want for no extra charge but when we asked if we could have another dish instead she stated we would have to pay the extra even though they messed up and made us wait! I have asked for a refund as they were quick enough to take the money! So I’m hoping the refund goes through correctly! She was so rude on the phone also and didn’t sound like she cared much as we order so much from them! Not good!

Late getting home from a long day out on a Monday with family friends and tried to find somewhere open for a Chinese or Thai takeaway. We found Top Wok via an internet search and found that they served both Chinese and Thai food. We made a selection for 6 people including duck pancakes (took the 1/2 duck - could have served 8 people ..), stir fry, green curry and more. Very good food. Arrived within 40 minutes and we will definitely use them again. Surprisingly good.

We have always had our takeaways from here. We often have the mixed starters, and always the duck pancakes. We once had a takeaway from elsewhere and regretted it instantly - this is honestly the best in town. I am allergic to fish sauce and ask for my Pad Thai without - which they are always happy to oblige. Large portions, freshly made to order, free prawn crackers with every meal. Waiting times can be a bit long at the weekends - sometimes way over an hour - but proving that it is popular!

Have been using this takeaway for some years now and usually pretty good. As our 'favourite' one has now closed down, we go here more frequently. Last night's meal was superb and very tasty. The duck with plum sauce was so tender and lots of meat in the dish, not just bulked out with vegetables. Tried the satay prawn skewers for the 1st time and really nicely done, very succulent. The special chop suey had large pieces of meat and giant prawns too. The rice & noodle dishes were fine also. All in all a tasty meal.

My partner and I ordered a takeaway from Top Wok on Sunday evening as we hadn't tried it before and our usual Chinese was closed. We waited for over an hour for the takeaway to be delivered and when it turned up I was, quite honestly, shocked. The food was luke warm at a push and looked as though the 'chefs' had bought a load of processed chicken and vegetables from Iceland, attempted to heat it up before throwing it into a plastic box. It was disgusting. Not only this but we ordered egg friend rice to accompany our main dishes and even that was a half hearted attempt with no egg in it. What a shame. I am always one to support independent, local venues but I will definitely not be returning to this place. Think twice before you order from here!

Also I left feedback to the guy who messed up my order after the food was delivered and it wasn't passed on. You guys need to sort this out soon as the delivery is a joke and the messed up orders will deter others and me from using you.

Having waited over an hour and a half for the delivery, I was pleasantly surprised to find the best tasting crispy duck I've ever had, and I've had a few. However the pleasure was soon eroded by seaweed covered in several ounces of sugar, and the sweetest beef with black bean sauce and most sugar laced Szechuan chicken ever devised. So close to being a very tasty Chinese meal, but totally let down by excessive use of sugar (very good egg fried rice though)

Hadn't had a Chinese takeaway in ages as decent ones seem hard to come by in Tunbridge Wells. Tried Top Wok and pretty impressed. Friendly service, even if they were running way behind because it was so busy - a good sign though!Like the kitchen being open so you can see everything going on while you wait. All appeared very clean. Food was tasty and great value - good portion sizes. Crispy duck and hoisin sauce could have been better. Shredded beef needs to come in the tiniest portion as it's pretty full-on. Otherwise, nothing was overly full of sugar or salt as far as we could tell.

I've ordered from Top Wok many times now and have never had reason to complain. I tend to go in to order rather than phone for delivery, and the staff are always incredibly happy to see you. They are warm and welcoming and the buzz of the kitchen is always a great sight to behold. the fact that the kitchen is open is a massively re-assuring plus-point as you can actually watch your food being prepared, so there's absolutely no question about freshness. The food is always of an excellent standard and the containers are stuffed to the limits. There's the fortune cookie/prawn cracker bonues chucked in every time of course. As the places has gained reputation and popularity it is becoming visibly busier so be prepared for a bit of a wait if you order for delivery or even if just going in to order, but believe me when I say that it is definitely worth it!

They do fantastic chilli beef and hand make a great spring roll. The fact you can see them cooking everything in front of you is reassuring. The staff are all really friendly and they deliver. Every meal is complimented with a fortune cookie which is a nice little touch. Definitely the best Chinese/Thai takeaway in Tunbridge Wells.

This is a take-away or delivery restaurant only. The standard of food ordered was probably the worst - certainly the worst in recent memory and possibly ever. We tried most of the dishes just about. Think a mix of MSG, grease and very poor quality ingredients mixed with poor cooking makes this all so bad. Probably ninety percent of the food was binned. And all of this after waiting for over an hour for delivery on a Weekend evening. All I can say either avoid or be warned about what you can expect.

I had special fried rice, more rice than ingredients, and lack of flavor. Previously, I ordered the sweet and sour pork earlier. It was o.k.

After many years of using Mister Chef I and the rest of my family will never order from here again due to the lower than 1 star customer service. Food has also being going downhill in quality recently. Tonight we ordered a takeaway, expected time from the call was 1 hour (not a problem for a Saturday night) 1 hour later we called again and were told 30-40 minutes. It was quite evident that the food had not even started to be cooked. 45 minutes later we called again and asked to cancel the order as it had still not arrived. We were told it was being cooked, but by that point we had been lied too several times and were just going to find something in the cupboard. I requested to cancel the order and get a full refund. Phone went quiet so I hung up. Mister Chef then called back and screamed abuse at whoever answered the phone, which wasn't me as by then I was cooking some eggs and toast. Food did turn up 2 hours 5 minutes after ordering, but TBH it will go to waste as by then it was too late. Previously I would have recommended Mister Chef as the food was OK. But with this level of poor customer service I encourage anyone reading this to go somewhere else.

Superb takeaway. Large portions and delicious. When down on holiday will come back. Prices are reasonable and pleasant staff.
