Boardwok South

Called several times no answer drove to the place we were going in for take out. Went in and the guy said be right with you, we continued to wait. 10 minutes later still waiting and was told we are very busy let me see if we are doing takeout. Then was told we are to «freaking» busy with all these tables for this so NO takeout!
I can honestly say we will not ever go back.

Excellent! Great food and great service! We ate here last summer and again today and we’ll be back next summer for sure!

Call ahead for wait and large groups. Also, Unilocal says they are closed but that’s not true… have been in this location for 4 years.
Great food, casual atmosphere. Don’t pass by in the waves strip mall…

EXCELLENT food– very fresh and tasty. Awesome service. We enjoyed the spring rolls, house salad, fried rice, general tso’s, sesame chicken, vegetable delight and tempura shrimp. Everyone in our party was very happy! We’ll be back for sure.

I’ve spent many summers in the Tri-​Villages and lived here for several years between, so I don’t check Unilocal and decided to. Why do the Tourist places have a ton of reviews and Gia’s has four?! Boardwok South is nothing but QUALITY, fresh everything, locally owned and staffed, with menu items to please everyone. I love the steak, no filler crab cake, salad with house dressing, crab soup, Lo mien and broccoli with dipping sauce! Now located in St. Waves Plaza at the corner. Open for dinner! Local secret I guess… Now exposed.

We did takeout. The food was pretty good. The spring rolls are very good. The staff is cordial.

Good food good service a little expensive. Overall worth going. I would recommend there egg rolls

We found this place by searching Unilocal and boy am I glad we did. The food was delicious. I had the General Tso chicken with fried rice. For dessert we had chocolate egg roll over ice cream. This was one of the best desserts I ever ate. Staff was great too!!! We will be coming back here when we visit again.

First of all, can I just give a shot out to this catchy name? So perfect for the environment.
Now on to the review:
My partner-​in-​crime needs to eat once a trip when we visit OBX and last week’s trip was no exception. 4 of us (1 sleeping toddler) set out to Boardwok’s new location and were greeted with high ceilings, simple décor, bar and and a couple table openings. This location is bigger than there old place. Not as close for us but not too much of a hike either.
Our waiter/​host seated us and shortly after 2 parties or 12 walked in behind us! How lucky were we to get there first? We quickly put in our drink and appetizer orders tryin’ to beat the 24 ppl who were thinking the same.
Everything was prompt. We were really impressed with the fact that they could accommodate such a large groupx2 because lots of people come to the Outer Banks in groups that size. Our waiter– who was the only waiter/​bartender there– did a great job of juggling a full dining room. We never felt like we had to wait.
Now on to the food. If you have a taste for Chinese Boardwok will satisfy. It’s NOT however AMAZING Chinese. Coming from Chicago and having some great places out here it’s a hard battle of taste for them to fight. I did notice that some items on the menu are not even Chinese. But I understand in a tourist location you need to be able to accommodate people that don’t want to eat Chinese but come along for the ride with their friends.
BUT WHAT WAS AMAZING– was the soup Crab Chowder. I could’ve eaten 3 bowls of that!
I would love for them to add some Bubble Tea to there menu– that might be fun. AND Tofu options for their meat dishes. Sometimes non-​meat eaters would like a General Tso or Sesame Sauce sans chicken or beef. AND Crab Rangoon or pot stickers– I don’t remember seeing those on the menu.
All in all we’ll be back year after year.
