Wok To Walk

One of the things that I really marveled at in Amsterdam was the sheer diversity and availability there was when it came to food options. Cutting through and between random alleys and streets around city center, it seemed like there was absolutely anything from every culture available, if you could just find it.
It was getting late in the evening, and I had a train to catch back to where I was staying, but my girlfriend and I were determined to get at least one more thing to eat before turning in for the night; after all it was vacation, and no better excuse than to eat excessively, and claim it’s because we can’t get it anywhere else.
Ultimately, Asian stir fry isn’t something we can’t get at a lot of places in the States, but a name like Wok to Walk? Such a play on words, so pun-​ny and slightly exploitative? Yeah, we’re not getting that in the States (actually we can, but like most global ideas, they’re in New York and not Atlanta).
Besides, we had walked by Wok to Walk (no pun intended) earlier on, and noticed just how busy and long their line was, so there had to be some merit to their quality, so when the opportunity presented itself later on, and the line wasn’t out the door, we had to give it a whirl.
Basically, it’s like Mongolian stir-​fry, but served to order, and kind of quicker. You go to the counter, explain what kind of starchy base you want between a variety of rice or noodles, add on proteins and veggies, sauces, and they cook it up on the spot and serve it to you in a takeout box, within a small amount of minutes.
And if you’ve had Mongolian stir-​fry before, you’ve had Wok to Walk before then too. Not to say it’s bad, because it’s a pretty basic concept of stir frying together a whole lot of things and slather in sauce. For late night noodles and chicken though, they always hit the spot.
The prices aren’t bad either, as you can get a pretty generous helping of food for like 8 euros.
Overall, I like their chintzy name, and their basic operation for not a tremendous cost. If anything at all, it opened doors to make a night full of WOK puns, much to the dismay of the girlfriend.

One of the best Chinese food places in general… not just from Amsterdam BUT in general… BUENO.
You pick the following when you order:
Type of noodles –I got rice noodles– same noodles as the kind that comes with Pad Thai
Toppings– I got the shiitake mushrooms, roast pork (fatty portions– LOVE), bamboo shoots (tasted like ones from cans but not bad), shrimp, beef, fried onions, and fried garlic. I recommend roast pork and shiitake mushrooms.
Sauce– I have tried the Teriyaki and the hot sauce. I prefer the hot sauce one but I like really flavorful foods.
You will prob end up spending around ~15 but it is worth the price. Decent amount of food and it’s good quality. Service is fast. Get a hot sauce packet.
I came here THREE times in the 2 days I stayed in downtown Amsterdam. Also… it is a chain store. I went to three different stores because I didn’t know it was a chain and couldn’t tell which one I had to go based off the address =/

I was passing through the De Wallen area and kept seeing people holding a Chinese takeout looking container. I was pretty curious where they were getting it from, and randomly found the place as I was just walking around. Wok to Walk is basically a fast food stir fry place. You basically pick your meat, starch, sauce and toppings and they quickly stir fry it in a pan and give it to you in a red to go container. The fast casual concept is really taking off in the US with made to order burritos and made to order pizzas that you get within minutes, so I’m surprised fast food stir fry hasn’t popped up as well.
I went with chicken, udon noodles, Tokyo sauce, and then added some fried garlic chips on top. For as fast as they prepared it, the food was pretty good quality. You would think that since the ingredients weren’t in the pan together for that long, that the flavors didn’t have time to come together, but it was actually pretty tasty. The udon noodles were nice and thick and there was a good amount of chicken in there. The best part is they didn’t skimp on the sauce. Usually when I go to a stir-​fry place I prefer to add the sauce myself because they never put enough when the restaurant does it for you, but the stir-​fry here had enough sauce to coat all the noodles.
Overall, Wok to Walk is an awesome concept where you can get stir-​fry on the go. If they had this in Chicago I’d be gettin it all the time.

Near red light district. You order from 3 categories: noodles, toppings and sauce. They charge by the topping ex. Broccoli, chicken, mushrooms, etc.
I had egg noodles, broccoli, chicken, mushrooms, with Hong Kong (sweet and sour sauce) which was about € 9 for a pretty big takeout box

Big fan of this concept, a great option for fast food.
You go in, choose which kind of noodles or rice you want, which kind of meat and if you want any extra toppings last but not least which sause you want on, and then they cook it right in front of you.
Fresh and fast — fast food
The atmosphere there is nice, but it is still a fast food restaurant, so I wouldn’t bring a date… but it’s nice and clean and the staff is friendly. When back in Amsterdam I would visit this place again, if in the hurry for a lunch.

Best Asian food around. Fast and fresh. Get the udon teriyaki with pork and pineapple!

I wanted to try out this place since the customer gets to customize their noodles and add ons. I bought the rice noodles with Tokyo teriyaki sauce. It was stir fried with vegetables and egg. I didn’t add on anything extra cause I wasn’t that hungry. The noodles were piping hot and the sauce was slightly sweet and savory. It was just enough to make me comfortably full but not too much that I hit the food wall.
Service was fast and brisk, also very nice and helpful. All in all, a quick fast food place for those that need a foodie quickie.
