Wok N’ Go

Best Chinese food in Edmonton. Have them on speed dial. Take out only. Haven’t tried anything that isn’t amazing. Love the open kitchen, you can see how clean it is. Great menu for large groups, reasonably priced.

You walk up to the counter place your order like a fast food place. We waited 25 minutes for order. Everything was passed tough burnt tasty. And over price for the portion of food received. We do not recommend this restaurants 127^th –123^st. St albert location wise fast and tasty food service

Error wrong resto

Very good westernized Chinese food. I had a bad experience here the first time I tried it. I mean REALLY bad. But I have to say they’ve redeemed themselves since. The food is consistent, and delicious. The service is always friendly, and the people there really seem to enjoy making customers happy. Who doesn’t love to see that? Don’t waste your time at the other Chinese restaurants near here-​they can’t compare to wok-​n-​go. Highly recommend.

Lovely people. Thoughtful service. Not-​so-​great food.

They have the best Chinese food, it’s a to go place only open during delivery hours, i always get the combination b, it’s prepared fresh and comes with lots of food most of the time it’s too much but who doesn’t love left over Chinese!. The prices are good as well.

We had the Vegetable Chow Main and the Pad Thai, Vegetable chow mein had one piece of brocoli a couple mushrooms and bok choy, very litle and not so good. For the Pad Thai it said it was suppose to have Rice and noodles with sauteed vegetables. What I received was Noodles with a couple pieces of chicken and bean sprouts and onions for the vegetables. Ended up throwing 80% of the food in the garbadge. And having toast for dinner instead. They are now on my list of places not too eat.

As far as take out chinese food goes, this is our go to place. My favorite is the sweet and sour chicken, and the hot n spicy (I think thats what its called, its fried in a batter with veg) srhrimp (although i with they gave you more shrimp). My husband likes the satay beef, but IMO the beef is a little chewy. All in all i recommend this place. Its fast and tasty

I’ve been visiting Canada for about 4 years now. I live in Southern California. It’s interesting trying to find the Chinese food that I’m used to. It’s much different over here. Especially the chow mein.
LETS REWIND FIRST. I purchased the chowmein last year when I visited… and I’m very sorry but it was watery and gross. The skinny noodles I am not used to with chow mein… and I had also bought hot and sour soup and chicken balls. The hot and sour soup was way to thick and the taste was not so great :(Way too much corn starch (or however they thicken their soup). The chicken balls were 80% dough (very donut like) and 20% chicken. I just didn’t find them appealing.
FAST FORWARD!
Okayso the other day, I purchased a mini family meal so it would last a few days. And it did. The chinese food is still way expensive in Canada than So Cali. I paid $ 32CAD including tax and in California, for the same amount of food I received I would have paid half. Okay lets get into the taste test.
I ordered Hot n Sour soup again, hoping that some how it would be better. And to my surprise it WAS! I was also surprised to see that they added a few more items to their menu. The soup was great.
I also ordered the Chicken and Mixed Greens. Now, it really does not look appealing AT ALL, however, when I ate it — it was like an explosion of flavours in my mouth. Very savoury and tasty. One of my faves now.
I ordered Ginger Chicken… it reminded me of the consistency of the Orange Chicken I’m used to in the US… It was quite flavourful… but very very on the sugary side. It’s rich in taste. I could only eat a few pieces on my plate at a time.
It also came with your standard white rice and 4 spring rolls. Usually the spring rolls I ordered are not fried… it was more like your standard egg roll. I ate it. It was good, but not great.
Considering the prices over here I suppose it was a good value. The food lasted me almost 3 days. Would I go back? I would but I will be skimping on the ginger chicken.

Service,
The service was great. The girl was friendly. It’s a small place. GOod for take out only, I wouldnt eat in there. There’s only a few chairs — good for waiting for your order.
One disturbing observation I made was that there was a bin that was on the ground full of thawed out fried chicken pieces… and the cook was scooping them out from there and cooking them. It looked extremely unsanitary to say the least. The bin was quite small… way to close for the chicken to be close to the ground. They really need to change that…
The hours are from 3pm to 9pm… a little odd. Closed weekends.
3 stars. Fair enough. Good, but not great or fantastic.

Not really a «eat in» place, just a couple of tables to sit at while you wait for your order. I had Singapore noodles, plain fried rice and chicken in black bean sauce. Including a beverage my order was less than $ 28 (I have had three meals from it and STILL have leftovers). Everything was delicious. Definitely the best Chinese food I have had in a very long time. Veggies were fresh and tender-​crisp and there was a lot of nice big pieces of chicken. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because it looks a little «divey» when you first walk in. However, I am very impressed with the quality and quantity of food and that you can see your order being prepared while you wait (my order was ready in less than 10 minutes).

Chinese is not really my thing — not since I was a teenager eating sweet-​and-​sour chicken balls on mall dates like they were escargot and coming home reeking like food court.
These days, I generally prefer a cleaner palette and most Chinese food (correction: American Chinese food) is greasy, slimy, over-​fried, and leaves you feeling bloated and sloven, like a mall rat with baby fat sticking like glue.
Wok n’ go is express Chinese that I can dial up when I don’t feel like cooking and feel fantastic after I’ve eaten. They’re programmed into my cell phone and have a presence in our home like a Portuguese mama who still comes over to cook for you but, alas, thankfully lives a full block away around the corner!
The food is fresh and cooked right in front of you. The sauces are savoury and not slimy (which I’ve learned is the result of a marinating process called velveting that adds egg whites and cornstarch to change the texture of meats — an authentic eastern technique that, in my opinion, doesn’t quite translate).
So I can still stay awake and function without heartburn after I eat Wok n’ go, but granted I don’t go for the sumo meal; I stick with the tofu and veggies on rice and the green onion cakes and hot and sour soup. When I want to indulge, I go for the lemon chicken which is breaded but has quality chicken; and it’s not your typical 70% breading 30% meat-​morsel mix. There’s more meat than fatty coating — so you can still enjoy, but not fall colluding victim to the revenge of baby fat (called obesity) that’s sweeping our fast-​food nation… faster than you can say, uh, «sweet and sour chicken balls,» (which aren’t, btw, even Chinese food!!)
Baby fat belongs in the baby books. Wok n’ go is a short walk from my house and I haven’t derailed my body by eating their express fare on the fly. Thank you, Wok n’ go, for the integrity of your food, and your fast, friendly service. I enjoy reading trashy mags in your store front while waiting for my take-​out order to be called. You even know my name.

My boyfriend raved about this Chinese fast food place because some guys he went to high school with had opened the restaurant a couple years ago. We went here and I was super impressed with the food.
They have combo deals (pick 3 items.) and the food is made fresh and fast. My favorite here is the ginger beef. All of the food comes in the cute little Chinese take out boxes too.
This place is so out of the way for us, but whenever we are near the north side and we drive by this location, we are tempted to sneak in. Most times we give in to our temptations too.
