Woky Ko : Cargo in Bristol, City of

Do not go here! Where to start…. I am reviewing this under the new name ‘Daily Noodles’. My partner and I went here for dinner, we ordered 5 dishes; Vegan Katsu Curry and Rice; Vegan Sticky Soy Chicken Bao Bun’s; Chicken Katsu and Rice; Hot and Sour Pork Dumplings; Katsu Fries. Initially, the dishes came quite quickly, however my partner was concerned with the Vegan Bao Buns when they arrived. It was different to Vegan Chicken she’d received in the past; so we quickly asked the waiter “is this the vegan bao bun”, he was quick to reply without actually looking at the food, stating that it was in fact the vegan option. I wasn’t convinced at this, so when the waiter came back with my Pork Dumplings (which were cold and semi raw), I asked again, if the Bao Bun’s were Vegan? Again, the waiter was quick to reply with a simple “yes”, without properly checking the product and quickly rushing back behind the counter. My partner was satisfied as she’d been reassured now two times, so she began to eat her Bao Bun’s. These turned out to be Chicken… I sent the dish back immediately, stating this was not vegan. The waiter abruptly took the dish back with a simple “sorry”, showing no empathy at all or remorse. A few minutes later my partner’s dish of Vegan Katsu Curry with Rice arrived - this again wasn’t vegan. This time the waiter’s response was “it looks like you have two normal Katsu curry dishes”. Again, no apology, no empathy. It took 20 minutes for my partner’s replacement bao bun’s to arrive, and this was only after I inquired into where they were. I am absolutely disgusted at not only the lack of due diligence taken into the preparation of food, the customer service and the management of this establishment. When I first arrived, I mentioned to the manager that I myself have a severe nut allergy, I was assured that this would be okay, and all the necessary precautions would be taken to avoid cross-contamination. At the end of my meal, after making a formal complaint into the fact that my partner ate chicken, after implicitly asking if her dish was vegan, he told me ‘none of menu contains nuts actually’. What kind of general manager doesn’t know allergens present in his restaurant? I do not recommend anyone, especially those with dietary requirements to visit here, due to their negligence, lack of care and overall lack of customer service.

Ordered delivery from Daily Noodle but they don't seem to have a TripAdvisor page yet, but same ownership. Honestly the worst noodles I've had in a long time. Buttermilk chicken pad Thai came without nuts, about 2 tiny pieces of veg, and incredibly greasy and bland. The chicken was all buried and soggy with grease. I've had chow mein from low end Chinese places that rated better than this. £11 for a bowl of greasy bland noodles and a but if soggy chicken? Crazy... it must be one of the most simple dishes to get right. Literally never left a review before but was so disappointed by this is created an account for this sole purpose. Korean fried chicken wasn't bad but arrived cold. Personally I think it'd be better with sauce on the side so they dont arrive soggy but perhaps that's just me. Won't be ordering again...

This is a ‘container’ restaurant part of the Bristol Wapping Wharf Cargo project/area. As such, it is tiny. From recollection, 6 tables inside which could, at a push, seat 12. There is also outside seating. We both had the fried chicken katsu curry which was excellent. Service was friendly. I’m sure the area is humming in the evenings and we look forward to revisiting the Cargo area and would be happy to eat at Woky Ko again.

Firstly I tried to call the restaurant several times to book a table, but no one picked up. We ended up booking online from Book a table website. I turned up with my daughter and her boyfriend for an afternoon meal and was busier than usual due to graduation. I waited 40 minutes before being served, And even then, it took them longer than the norm to prepare my food. To make matters worse, the staff went for a ‘cigarette break’ whilst people were waiting to be served. Following this, the water cup has watermarks on it. These cups should polish before being given to the customers. It looks disgusting. We complained and have been advised by the restaurant manager Rob to send an email as he has no time! No sense of good customer service ... disappointed! If you value your time, I would have gone elsewhere for your drinks on an evening in Bristol.

Dreadful food.. Kentucky fried chicken in a soup. Very lazy staff who spent their time in side whilst everyone was battling seagulls outside. Dirty sticky tables, broken glass on the floor (seagulls) and inedible food. Can only imagine people are swayed by the atmosphere of the Wharf.. which is great… but go somewhere else! Lots of great food.. just not here!

Never usually go for street food but this was very very good. Had the fried chicken with katsu sauce and noodles. Was quite a queue but wasn’t much of a wait as the two gentlemen working were very quick and efficient. Will definitely visit again the next time I’m in Bristol!

The food here definitely deserves praise as it is flavoursome and satisfying. The problem is you have to order through a QR code, which makes for an unrelaxing dining experience. Also it can get very riotous and shouty after hours on a weekend, so it isn’t the exactly a chilled back vibe. Great for a sociable bite with friends rather than a date with a princess

Got an outside table on a busy Saturday lunchtime. ere given instructions on how to access the app to order. Good photos of all the food although the menu seemed a bot limited. Three of us had noodle dishes and one a rice dish. All nicely cooked and full of flavour Had kimchi as a side which packed a punch but the portion was on the small side. Also had some XO sauce which was glorious. Dinks were average but welcome. Overall a good experience.

...me and me mates went down the Swan with 2 necks this lunchtime, drank beer then finding ourselves a touch hungry, ordered lamb and noodles, chicken katsu, ribs & kimchi from WokyKo Man via Deliveroo and I have gotta say, as an exprienced home cook and restaurant diner, it was all absolutely delicious. Full stop. I can't think of any criticism to make, neither small nor large and so I can't do anything other than give it the full five stars! Never done that before. Great food, well prepared, beautifully seasoned, properly cooked, great flavours, decent portions, nicely presented and just lovely to eat. Thanks.

the broth was completely flavourless and the egg off and overcooked .. also overpriced for the quality

My Review is based almost entirely on value, atmosphere and overall experience. Situated in a small, sparsely decorated container, upon arriving you are invited to scan a QR code which gives you access to a menu where you order online. The menu is not large consisting of around 5 Ramen/ noodle dishes, 3 sides and drinks . We chose a ramen dish each ( one mushroom, miso and One pork based ) and all the sides. The sides were ribs, grilled edamame and kimchi. Firstly the food is great for what it is. All food tastes fresh and is well presented. Ribs were beautifully tender and the noodles were firm with a stock to die for. Their home made kimchi has a unique possibly more genuine flavour. The Edamame beans were great but not the best edamame beans even within a 200m radius… more on that… Unfortunately where this falls down is value, service and overall experience. The venue is very small ( 4 tables inside and a couple outside) and Not really decorated. The music is annoying and you are invited to pay a 10% tip despite very little actual service happening. Ramen dishes range from £12-14 and that is not because the meat dishes have a whole steak for instance - my pork dish had 2 slivers of bbq belly pork., my partner had 1 large mushroom cut into 2. And let’s face it -Ramen is fast cheap food where much of the prep is done up front. The sides were also quite poor value. £5 for edamame, £8 for 5 small baby back ribs. The Edamame were unfortunately also not a patch on 7 lucky Gods version just around the corner and when comparing the variety of menu, the atmosphere and value this place unfortunately falls short with some of the same dishes being pounds more and less of a portion than other similar venues. I feel like even though the food was nice we won’t go back. Maybe putting all their venues together with their different menus might help ( I could have done with some Bao) but I think the price needs to be looked at and if dine in is an option it needs to be more of an experience . Our meal was £47 for 2 portions of ramen and 3 sides (no drinks) .

The ribs were delicious, the miso ramen was great. HOWEVER, the menu is very limited (it’s pork or mushrooms basically) and the prices are a bit ridiculous….the edamame beans were £5 and nowhere near as tasty as the ones in Seven Lucky Gods upstairs which are £3.50. I personally think £13 for a mushroom miso ramen is OTT. The restaurant is also really basic so you don’t even get the full dining experience for the restaurant price. We had three sides, two ramen and no drinks and it was just shy of £50. Overall, really good food but overpriced, so sadly won’t be going back.

first place we visited in bristol, woky ko had friendly hosts and delicious food (plus veggie options). great location

Wonderfull authentic great quality Asian cuisine Narrow range of options Efficient prompt delivery Simple yet fUll of flavour

We live right near Wapping wharf and we've been to lots of the other restaurants there, all pretty good but I hadn't eaten at Woky ko for a while. Tried the Chicken Katsu off their new menu - it was just about the best thing I have eaten in a long time. My partner had the pad thai and said that was fantastic too. We will be back very soon!

Waited over 20mins for 2 bao to takeaway. Very small portions and not I'm sorry to say worth £9. Was nice but won't be back.

This was a brilliant experience, after walking around Wapping Wharf we stumbled across this gem of a place. Food was amazing, great informal but delicious vibe. Great service . Highly recommended for both travellers and residents of Bristol!

Really tasty pulled pork in a bun , crispy chicken and crispy chips with 2 sauces on plus fried beans in pods , never tried before but really nice . All covid secure order pay online delivered to table quickly by helpful happy staff ....

These are tough times coming out of lockdown yet this place appears to fare well. The food was delicious and service excellent. It must be tough trading coming out of lockdown but these guys have done it very well. If you want a great al...

We both had a meal today and was not impressed at all, my pork chow mein the pork did a runner it was non existent .my partner had squid , half of it was very tough and delivered on a very small plate .

First time ordering from here and WOW The Pork chow mein is to die for ! Tasty succulent and falls apart in your mouth !

The food was delicious - especially the pork bao and Korean fried chicken! - and the staff were lovely. It's quite small, so I'd recommend booking, especially at the moment. We will definitely return on our next Bristol visit.

Staff were friendly, food was amazing and the heaters actually kept us warm all evening. Would definitely go back, thanks!!

We stopped here for a quick drink and after looking at the menu decided to have a quick snack As a dumpling bao lover these were in a different league !!! Every bite was amazing and the seasoned chips were to die for !!! I...

After anticipating the burnt end bao would be the tastiest I was pleasantly surprised to find the chicken and pork belly were in my opinion superior. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch but the coconut and Malibu ice cream is a total rip off at £4.25...

Quick and delicious crispy duck bao! But seriously delicious. We had a chicken dish and pork bao too - washed down with a couple of beers - all yummy. But the duck! The duck. Like eating food for the first time. Bravo Darren and team.

Good food, tasty and authentic. Well cooked, chef is great. But let down by average service wasn't made to feel welcome and the server didn't have a smile on her face at all. Bao I think is worth £7.50, not £9. So i would say...

the wokyko on cargo rooftop - eating inside - food was good but overall poor value - the deets : the brocolli side was fantastic but the prawn bao was tiny and ridiculously expensive - although basically empty it was hard to get the attention...

Booked a table and when arrived sat down to find out they have stopped doing Ramen!!! Bao only - a shame, the food was good though but the service gone down hill as food came out separately and had eaten my bao already! Staff was...

Wokyko never disappoints. We were heading to squeezed but as it wasn’t open we stuck with what we knew! Ordered takeaway and sat at the designated tables across the front. Food came very quickly and was fantastic. We shared the Katsu chicken curry which is...

Excellent, well priced, we both had great meals. Delicious. Will definitely go back to try different things on the menu

My fiance ans I visited here as part of our anniversary day out. We've dined here together 3 or 4 times now and have loved it each time. Baos are excellent as are the smaller dishes. We've not sampled any specials or mains as we...

Bao are delicious - recommend 3 for a good lunch. Not much room inside so you might not be able to get a table, but worth it if you do.

All of the WokyKos are well worth visiting. Origional tasty food. Good wine. It easy to ee why Larkin is so sucsessfull. The ice cream Bao is to die for!!!!!!

I have been wanting to go here for a while now and still haven’t had the opportunity, but got in late from work and fancied a quick deliveroo (this review is purely on food quality and not on service/atmosphere). I was quickly persuaded by woky...

Such a busy place! They take no reservations but were very accommodating when the six of us turned up! Food was really good, we practically ordered the entire starter menu! Authentic Asian food..loved it!

Tasty food made out of an apparently tiny kitchen. Tables felt a bit squashed in inside and was busy. Only got a table as we arrived as a group left. Tables outside too. Drinks rather expensive.

Lovely food avaliable but we had to queue for a seat and it was a shame. The whole area.is a very Good idea with conatainers forrming restaraunts,

Wanted some Asian food whilst visiting Bristol . This more than met the bill. E Tiny place, but we got a table for 4. Everything was excellent. Particularly enjoyed theBao steamed buns as a starter. Pork belly udon noodles, duck rice noodle salad and aubergine...

I dined here last night after recommendations on trip advisor. What an excellent place. Food great, service wonderful, location terrific. Loved it.

Such lovely fresh food. Service was fast and friendly. Food was delicious. We sat on the patio which had a nice vibe.

Really interesting Japanese/ malaysian/ Chinese inspired food ! Wonderful dishes with amazing sauces .. a courgette has never tasted so good ! Amazing soft shelled crab and monkfish katsu curry ! Yumm!!!

Small menu choice but everything excellent. I have been a few times now and had different things and everything has been really good - the best pork chow mein.

Absolutely delicious, fresh tasting authentic food. We ordered several vegetable based dishes and they were all bursting with flavour. All staff are super friendly. Great place to eat. Cant fault anything.

The food is excellent. We picked the first four things from the top of the menu (the waitress said that it would be enough for both of us; she was right). Each dish was quickly served up and was delicious. We washed it down with...

We went for an early sitting on a busy Friday evening and straight away were made to feel right at home by the smiley staff. Although the GnT was expensive and basic, my soup was too salty and my chicken satay didn't really excite, this...

Had a selection of things from the menu and more than happy with everything.. very consistent quality ever time we’ve been.. A must try

The bao here are delicious! I had a bao, then chicken with rice and was very full. Restaurant is small so you may have to wait for a table.

Return visit for a quick lunch, just as good as before. Squid with chilli, two duck bao and one crispy Korean Chicken bao. All excellent. Two drinks and total bill £21. Really very good.

We had the Singapore chicken noodles as recommended by friends. Super tasty , fresh and hot until last mouthful. Saw lots of dishes coming out and they all looked amazing and could hear other diners saying how fabulous the food was. Staff lovely and when...

You cannot go wrong with this place. Every time I come to Bristol, I have to come here. Everything is reasonably priced and the food is to die for. Food is quick and service is fantastic. All of the staff are friendly and attentive. I...

These guys are awesome. Nice cosy setting - exceptional food. You can see their passion - if I compare this to previous my reviews at Mugshot or Pasture - its a 1/2 the price - x10 more tasty and an all round great experience. I...

We visited on Saturday night and it was really buzzing. The waitress was really friendly, knowledgeable and happy to help us decide what to have. We had a Korean fried chicken bao each, shared salt and pepper squid, then we shared a pork chow mien...

( I have never left a bad review for any establishment before but then I've never walked into anywhere and been instantly and purposefully insulted before.) I visit Bristol fairly regularly, getting take-out from here on numerous occasions and never felt like writing a review...

Always enjoy lunch here, the food is cooked there and then. I have tried the chicken fried rice, Thai green curry, kimchee fried rice and the squid. All delicious and fresh. Only downfall is it is a bit pricey. Staff are super friendly and lovely

The food at Woky Ko is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented but this cannot make up for the incredibly disappointing service. I dined with friends, 5 of us in total sat around a table for four and, despite it being a quiet Saturday afternoon, was...

First visit and what a pleasant surprise. Beautifully cooked, tasty and good portions. A must try if you can get a table, recommended

Yummy in my tummy fantastic food lovely service even if its a small restaurant I don't mind waiting for food that tastes this good x

Wapping Wharf - so many places in this super new Bristol area. But we thought we would have a tasty snack. Crispy duck and 10 pancakes filled the bill with a super Korean beer. Bonus time when the little steam locomotive passed

Our 3 generation family enjoyed the small plates for lunch on a Saturday during our long weekend in Bristol. We were there right when it opened and had a very good light lunch. The selection is not big, but everything we ate was flavorful and...

Cute little place, food was incredible but portions small and expensive for what you get. Highlights were the jackfruit bao bun and the salted caramel dessert bao bun. Would return just for one of those!

We visited on a late Sunday afternoon. There was a good turnover of other customers while we were there and service was very good. We both ordered ‘big plates’ and we did share. The Thai green curry was excellent and came in a bowl and...

I popped in for a quick light lunch alone, and got a warm welcome from the staff, and on request some advice on ordering. I was steered towards a plate of delicious grilled tenderstem broccoli served with a sweet and spicy sauce and sprinkled with...

Shame about the 90 decibel fire alarm going throughout the whole meal, might have been a good move to give a discount for that. The sign of a good company is how they deal with difficulties and this was 6/10 for the apologies. Otherwise the...

Saw this place whilst out cycling during a few days break in Bristol. It looked interesting and after visiting the website decided to go along one evening. Although it is very small and it was busy, we had no problem getting a table for the...

Ate here at the weekend and the food was incredible. Four of us ordered our food to share and it was delicious. Delightfully soft bao buns filled with crispy duck, with Peking sauce, cucumber and Leeks, Braised Pork Chow Mein and Beefshort Rib, Bulgogi, and...

Yummy lunch here while sightseeing in the harbour. Gorgeously fresh buns, seriously spicy salads with a real crunch, plus noodle dishes cooked before you in the tiny kitchen. The shipping container means few covers, unless it is warm enough to sit outside on the deck,...

Really small which is endearing unless you get seated by the kitchen in which case you have staff brushing past you regularly. Food was very underwhelming in comparison to my expectations considering the high reviews. Salt and pepper squid was nice enough, braised pork chow...

Wandered into here looking for somewhere to eat amongst the container based eating places in the area. We chose the right one. Quick service. Delicious spring rolls. I have the Korean chicken in a bao simply lovely. Family others were delighted with their choices and...

It says it all in the title, I literally LOVE Wokyko! I've always been a little scared of Asian food as sometimes it can be too spicy or the flavours can be too strong but honestly the food here is so amazing. A warning is,...

I gave woky ko two tries before writing this review because I really wanted to like it and I don’t like to write negative reviews about anywhere. First of all the chairs are very cramped and uncomfortable. I realise it is in a small cargo...

My friends and I ordered at least one of each of the bao buns, the ribs and Singaporean noodles to share and everything was just delicious. I cannot think how the food could have been improved.

My boyfriend and I absolutely adored woky ko! The food was amazing and the ambience was warm and intimate. I highly recommend ordering the dessert bao, we will never forget how scrumptious it was! We visited woky ko twice during our very brief overnight trip...

It's been a long time I wanted to try this place as I was passing by everytime we would take the baby out. The door displays the sign "Best Asian Restaurant 2018" and you have to admit it's intriguing enough on its own. That's why...

What a lovely place! Everything tasted really fresh and the flavours were excellent. Great, friendly service. We were just visiting Bristol but if we lived there - this place would be a regular!

Really delicious food - the Bao buns were a great texture and the flavour options were interesting and well matched. The waitresses were friendly without being intrusive, and the food was well priced for what you got. I had, and would recommend, the following: Edamame...

You can’t make reservations so you have to hope they’ve got a table available. The place is really nice and cosy, nice decoration. The squid was really nice, spring rolls were nice enough but nothing special. My partner had the pork chow mein, it looked...

It's tiny and in the winter maybe 20 people can squeeze inside. The menu is relatively short and is a pan-Asian selection of Thai, Chinese and Korean. We were lucky to get there just as it opened, it fills up fast. There is seating outside...

Just had lunch with my wife and daughter at Woky Ko cargo. Not an extensive menu, but all the dishes we had were great!! We had a Green Thai Chicken curry and a veggie one, as well as braised pork chow mien. Particularly good was...

Really good savoury food and the salted carmel dessert is fantastic. The service on the night 19/10/18 was really poor. I have been previously and the service was much better but this evening it was totally indifferent. The rap music playing was far too loud...

So happy to have discovered this restaurant. Staff were lovely and the food was fantastic! We will return again. I recommend the bao buns.

What a brilliant little restaurant in the cargo units, Bristol. The menu, not too large is made up of some sharing starters, dough ball rolls and main courses..... all arrives on the table when it is cooked....so no particular order. All were absolutely delicious and...

amazing choice of food, even for the veggies in the party great quality great service definitiely come again

Came here after visiting the M shed. Delicious Asian food served quickly and freshly prepared. Small cosy setting and friendly staff.

Delicious! Loved to cute wee place! We had to laugh about comments not having highchairs for kids. It‘s small and sweet, no room for babies, dogs and luggage, guys! We love the whole container-concept, would be great if we would have something like it in...

I had high hopes after reading a bit about this place, but on a wet Friday evening out with friends, we popped in here for dinner. There were somethings crossed off the menu, so a more limited choice than expected. I had the the green...

Myself, the wife and two kids under five visited and/or a boat trip local to the restaurant. The noodles and rice dishes we had were stunning and the prices were really good too. Friendly staff, nice vibe and a menu full of food I wanted...

We had a lovely duck salad - very tasty and super healthy. Very speedy service and delicious food. Will definitely go again.

Recommended by a friend and have been multiple times since. Really great food, fresh and very tasty. Can be busy so worth having drinks round the corner and waiting for a table to free up as unlikely to get one straight away (esp if outside)....

Very good dish (pork and noodles ), quick and friendly service with good advice. I would come again if I could.

We eat here now and then for lunch. Love the Bao buns and also the squid is very very good. If you are on the move they also do takeaway so don't miss this one.

Just popped in for a light snack on a busy Saturday lunch, the food itself was absolutely beautiful and even with how busy it was the staff were faultless. Brilliant atmosphere and just a really lovely time. The salt and pepper squid and the bun...

Had been recommended to eat here and so thankful that we did. We had 2 suppers and one lunch during our 2 day stay in Bristol. The food was fabulous - really tasty, loads of different flavours. The staff were very friendly and helpful -...

Pleasant staff, quick service, fast food but very very tasty. Bit limited for 2 of my party being veggies but still quite good. Very much enjoyed and good price.

Nasty waitress who made me feel utterly unwelcome and made me cry. I asked if we could sit outside and she went "there ARENT any tables and looked really matter of fact gesticulating wildly around when there were 2 tables being used by a couple...

It had a nice vibe but limited and unexciting options for veggies. I had the yakisoba which at £8.50 was overpriced considering it was mostly noodles and a few edame beans.

We popped here opportunistically after having a coffee next door at Mokoko and realised it was nearly lunchtime. It's small but has some outdoor tables for when the weather's nice. The menu is quite tight but the options sound interesting. We had a bao bun...

Little gem of a place in a great location. Sat outside in the sunshine. Staff were really friendly and gave us some recommendations. The buns were out of this world! Definitely going back for more. My friend had the aubergine curry, and I had the...

This is a good restaurant in one of my favourite food spots in Bristol. Situated in one of the cargo units on Bristol docks, the restaurant is small. We had to wait 10-15 minutes for a table, and I think they were seriously understaffed on...

I'd really been looking forward to trying Woky Ko, having read about their bao buns in BBC Good Food, as well as local publications. It was a sunny Friday evening and our group of four was able to get a table outside having walked in....
