Wok In

Un expensive, clean and great owner service. The Vietnamese food was good, Thai tea little to sweet and to much cream but tasty.

Decent restaurant, good menu, good prices. Most meals ready and served in less than 10 minutes.
Dining area is mostly clean but they never clean windows. The floors and tables are always clean. On any average day about ¹⁄₃ of the ceiling lights are not working which could be deliberate I suppose.
I’ve only had carry out from this restaurant but every time I go the place is busy which is a testimony to the quality of their food.
It’s seems to be a generic Asian menu, I don’t think it represents any particular country. I’ve had their curry chicken which is marked as being spicey which I think is tasty but not hot.
I’ve been here ten times and never had any problems.
Easy access off Main Street and Sossaman. Private lot, plenty of parking. Check out the menu online ahead of time.

Love this place. Prices are super low, it’s clean, has friendly service and yummy dishes! Don’t let the area it’s in fool you. It’s worth it! Just ordered 4 main dishes and an appetizer for $ 30!

This place is nice clean with great service the food was so greasy I couldn’t eat it not my first choice good thing it’s cheap because you will need to eat soon after

Really friendly staff but their phở isn’t very good. Not much flavor, noodles or vegetables

You get what you pay for. Nothing is extremely fancy but prices are very low and this is a family owned restaurant run by the same family all the time. Their Vietnamese dishes are all $ 5 and make a great after church lunch.

Had the Mongolian beef – worst I’ve ever tasted. The place is old and dingy, but they have kep their prices very low – unfortunately didn’t make up for the food.

Decided to try something new. I should’ve read the reviews first. Service was great, prices were right food not so great. Portions were more of lunch size but again for the price it worked. Not a place I’d go out of my way for.

My husband and I have been here several times over the last 2 years. Highly recommend this friendly, fairly inexpensive, extremely tasty meal. We’ve come here about 2 – 3 times a month. I have personally had about 75% of the menu. I would eat everything I have tried again, and rotate between 3 – 4 dishes regularly.

The pros: quick service, the food was brought out promptly, ordered the teriyaki chicken and hot and sour soup, which were both good, very affordable, also really liked that there were fresh flowers on each table from a local florist. The cons: massive dining room that was not being used to capacity so some lights were turned off in the corner of the room (did not turn me off, just thought it was odd), smaller portions, not enough veggies and too much rice on my plate. Overall good experience.

We had just finished a 6 mile mountain biking adventure in Usery Park and were craving some tasty phở. Wok In was less than 6 miles from the park and along our route home, so we decided to walk in to Wok In. :)
The décor seemed a little outdated, but the staff was very welcoming and friendly. I looked around to see what the other patrons were eating which seemed to be Americanized Chinese food. We were a little nervous about the quality of broth since I didn’t see anyone else ordering phở.
To our delight, the broth was actually really flavorful and didn’t have any fat bubbles. Although not like the phở from Cali or NYC, it definitely satisfied my craving. We also ordered fresh shrimp spring rolls and tea. The bill came out to about $ 20 which was a great deal.
We will stop by again should we return from another day trip in Usery Park.

I reviewed the wrong restaurant. I can’t give it a glowing review just yet. I’ll have to check this place out… eventually.

Wok Inn is located in an old Feedbag restaurant. The environment is extremely dated, much like it’s predecessor.
The menu includes Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. Well, sort of. The pad Thai is slimy and flavorless. The phở is made with a meat broth base instead of traditional fish base. The bun is just ok. Not anything to write home about. Especially with the best stuff 15 or so minutes away. I do enjoy the Thai iced tea, but that’s not rocket science.
The staff is hit or miss. Sometimes kind and friendly, sometimes patrons seemingly are cramping their lack of style.
Save your money for the good stuff.

Great place unbelievable prices. I had the Kung Pao chiken with white rice, great taste, great value. Will come back each time I’m in the area.

Food was terrible. Egg rolls mushy, entrees had way too much salt. Will not go there again.

Back for another stop. Spicy fried chicken and pan seared salmon tonight. Excellent again. Total bill under $ 15. It is in our normal rotation.

Had some Kung Pao, and it was good. They used actual hot peppers instead of chili powder like some of the lesser restaurants. But the portion size was small and the price high for what little I got.
Also tried the hot and spicy soup. It was neither hot nor spicy, but it tasted fine. And again, there wasn’t much of it.

It is always rough with non-​chain locations to review them poorly, but this restaurant did multiple things that were wrong. First off our order was written down incorrectly to where we didn’t receive an appetizer that we wanted and the time between ordering, food, and check was fairly long. I think it took us over an hour to complete the process. It didn’t seem all that busy, but maybe they had a new employee and we will probably come back eventually to give it another try, but from our first impression we weren’t impressed.

Sometimes writing is therapeutic in ending a relationship. Spoken aloud, the name puts a grimace on my face, as once spoken with great joy now evokes deep regret. For the last 4 months I’ve had permutations of this conversation with my wife:
«Hmmm I don’t really feel like cooking.» Me
«Well we could order delivery.» Wife. Face begins to morph into the Why-​do-​I-​put-​up-​with-​you-​face.
«We could. Orrrrrrrrrrrrr we could… wok in! Ahahahahaha.» Me
«Why did I marry you.» Wife.
«Well if you need to, you can always wok out! Ahahahahaha.» Me
THE GLARE. Wife.
With heart afloat with punny happiness, I approached this Chinese restaurant called Wok In. Situated prominently on the corner of Sossaman and Main, a tinge of trepidation shook me as I noted that their signage had only a single letter working. Eating at O isn’t as fun as Wok In, but I figured the food should be what concerns me. Walking up some steps that they kindly warn you about, I enter and the restaurant feels spacious, probably can seat 120-​ish. Pretty worn décor but no points off for that. Momentary confusion as they have a order counter, but also full service seating. Nice server with very cheerful disposition seats and takes drink order which is iced tea, which arrives very promptly. I decide to try their egg drop soup, goi cuon, and bun cha gio thit nuong. I don’t quite remember, but I want to say everything was $ 2 except the bun, which was around $ 7.
After ordering the server asks me if I’m Vietnamese. Sure am! Clouds pass over the previously unrelenting sunny disposition as she swiftly departs to place my order. Surprised, I take another look around my surroundings, and note the absence of any of my people. Knowing many caucasians with excellent taste in asian cuisine, I shrug off the demographics and tell myself everything will be okay.
Egg drop soup arrives very promptly. Its tolerable. Less eggy than most but with lots of carrot, corn, some cabbage, flavor is a bit weak but veggies redeem it slightly.
Goi Cuon much more disappointing. Stuffed with a lot of lettuce, bean sprout, and 3 shrimp between the 2 rolls. No pork. The sauce was pure bottled hoisin with some sprinkled peanuts on top.
Then my favorite cool noodle dish, Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong. Normally this is a bright, herbaceous dish with slippery rice noodles, lots of herbs/​veggies, and savory pork slices grilled + egg rolls. The cha gio (fried egg roll) were really tasty, and grilled beef was nice enough, but the fish sauce was very watery, and lettuce was probably 30% of the volume of this dish. Some good bits to this dish but overall unbalanced and depressing with the weak nuoc mam.
Well. Time to walk up and pay for my food. Server timidly asks if I liked the food. She gets an unconvincing yea it was fine. She can tell and quietly says goodbye. I say good bye as well. Good bye to the server, good bye to a fun pun that I can’t use anymore as its just depressing to think of, good bye to a Chinese restaurant with Vietnamese owners who make bad Viet food, good bye to it all… I wok out.

Place wasn’t bad, food wasn’t bad, just seemed overpriced. Parking in this complex where it’s located can also be maddening. Overall, I don’t think I’ll return to this place.
