Best Wok in Campbell River

Well, we went there for the buffet but there wasnt one because they were short staffed. So, we ordered off the menu. Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Chow Mein and Sweet n Sour Pork. The rice and chow mein were somewhat bland and the pork was ordinary. The service was excellent though.

The food was really bad. The chicken was rock hard I couldnt even cut through it with a fork and knife. The beef was the same. The only thing that was somewhat edible was the chow mein

Best place in town. Easy parking and immediate service. Food is great quantity for price point. Will be my go to for let s eat out moments.

we received our order so quickly on New Years that i was worried it might not taste fresh but it was delicious My compliments!

Dissapointing again.. The garbage can got 95% of it. We will not be back.

Very good

Well, my meal was fantastic but my cousin and her young daughter had the wonton soup and got food poisoning. The high chair I needed to use for my infant looked older than me but it felt like it was covered in grease. We were the *only* customers there for the hour we were there. The woman who served us was very nice though

Delivery Food was Great Huge servings An chopsticks provided Very filling

Ordered combo dinner for one take out it was quick,fresh and delicious its my new go to place for Chinese food

Best in town

I just moved to Campbell River and chose this restaurant at random, and I m so glad I did! The food was excellent, prices reasonable and the staff were very friendly, even though I placed a take out order just 10 mins before closing. I love their decor in their restaurant and will not hesitate use use them again or recommend them to others, whether I placing another take out order or dining in their restaurant.

Nope never again. We were a family of 5 and ordered a large wonton soup. Came out with a soup spoon, not a ladle. Had to ask for bowls. Ordered wings for everyone to share, had to ask for plates. Wontons were mush. Wings were over battered. Ordered dinner for 2 deluxe and lemon chicken. Lemon chicken looked great, just had a bit too much batter which you could taste because it wasnt crispy the wrong way through. Deluxe chow mein was meh. Best wok stirfry was the best part, veg was crisp and cooked perfect with chicken and shrimp. Soy sauce at the table was old, you can tell because soy sauce thickens as it ages. They gave packages of hot sauce which was also old because it was brown instead of red. We were visiting from the mainland so perhaps our taste is different since there s so many options here?

Friendly service

We ordered two of the combo dinners to go. When we opened the containers, we found the portions to be small. There was plenty of rice and noodles, but very little of the sweet and sour pork or the prawns. The flavours were very bland. The fried rice was so old/stale that we couldnt eat it. It actually smelled rotten. The chow mein was much the same. Yuk! So tired of being cheated when ordering take out. Also, the food was super expensive. The place was empty. No wonder! We will never go back.

My husband has very high Chinese food standards. Ive never been a fan of Chinese food in general, but we both enjoyed our dinner. We will go back. Service is really fast.

Its disgusting!! I ordered prawns that I could barely chew as the were way over cooked and had a ton of batter. The rice is half cooked...the almond chicken is skinny and battered. It just aweful!! The worst meal I have had!!? Im gonna order something else, but not from there! Just gross!!

It was absolutely the best I would recommend going again

Very good food and generous portions.

Take out was ready fairly quickly but the food is quite bland.

Amazing war wonton!

In a word bland. I did order my hot and spicy ginger beef medium heat. But it had zero heat or flavour. The rest of the meal was just as bland. The interior was quite nice as was the waitress.

The Best Wok truly makes the best food. Their food is clean and bright not oily the best wonton soup, chicken broth wow. I want to eat every night!!!

I can t give a 0 so I will give a 1. Ordered three war wonton soups tonight with my family. Ate a wonton and it tasted completely mush. Decided to cut one open, ended up cutting them all open. The pork was completely raw. The business wouldn t even give us a refund. They offered us a credit, we didn t take it as we will never be eating there again.

Didnt like their chow mein way to much bean sprouts... Was only take out very dark gloomy inside

Food was great! Fresh beef and broccoli and really good wonton soup.

Love their food, always extra and great pricing. Friendly when we sit in or take out. We enjoy ordering from there

Famous 3in1 Not good,chow mein. Ive had way better. Best Wok you could do better.

I ordered the 4 in 1 individual combo but asked if they could make it vegetarian and they 10000% came through. Great flavor, variety, and portions. Everything was so delicious, and well worth the price. You want be disappointed

Love the Best Wok!!! Food was hot, delicious & served in a short period of time. Service was excellent and accommodating when asked for anything. Awesome place. Vegetarian options: There were different variations of the chop suey and noodles. Parking: Lots of parking.

Love the Chinese food

We had the sweet and sour pork also some chicken and I have never had food that was so chewy. Neither chicken or pork should ever be chewy, definitely not fresh seems like theyre cheaping out on purchasing fresh ingredients. Disappointing as we try and support local.

Always consistent, good portions for the price ! Flavourful, one of our go to s in town

Husband said this place was good back in the day but what we got today was not. Spicy gingerbeef was not spicy or gingery. Chicken chowmen was more like flavorless Ramon noodles with unseasoned chicken. Thank god for soya sauce or everything would taste like nothing. We didnt order any oily dishes but everything was covered I a thick coat of oil like someone pored cooking oil in the bottom of the bag, our chopsticks and soya sauce was floating in clear oil.

Got very expensive

STOP!!!..before you order anything to be delivered from here!!! I just ordered chicken wings and beef noodles from Best Wok and I do believe it was the worst meal I have ever had. The chicken wings were bad...as in they had gone off. I thought that maybe they were just having an off night but when I phoned, the gal said that they had been having quite a few complaints over the last two days....so have they been sending out bad chicken for two days??? Anyway, the wings and noodles were saturated in grease. I had to take everything to the outside garbage can because the smell was so bad. Please.....do yourself a favour and order a pizza. Please note...I rated them one star because I was unable to post this with no stars.

Best Wok is great because they let you order ahead of time and you can have your food delivered or you can pick up yourself

Great food...great service...

I have revised my review from 5 to 1. New owners from Port Alberni took over and have changed it. For over 20 years I faithfully ordered here. After time away I would always order 3 Ginger Beef to bring me back home. Joe, Jackie, and Bobo kept making it the same way throughout their ownerships during that time. I recently returned home and found my 3 orders to be the same junk I get everywhere else. The magic is gone. Its been a good run, I guess nothing lasts forever.

Not overly impressed for the price. Buffet items were either dried up or soggy. Maybe the lunch buffet is better

Ive always came here with my children, for years. Celebrating their birthdays and always got good service when I came in!

Awesome place to eat. Big portion and great price

Thos place use ro have great food. Terrible,terrible and terrible. Cold and tasteless. Great service though.

The service was good but the food was terrible...

Food is good, portion is large, staff is great, but lack vegan options.

Food was very good. Vegetables were done to perfection. Still fresh, not over cooked at all. Service was great.

Great food and fast service

Nice quite place. Food is North American Asian. God prices and friendly staff.

Ordered combo meal (4 in 1) of chicken chowmein, chicken fried rice, sweet and sour pork and honey garlic pork. Honestly food was quite bland and it tasted like microwaved food. Price and portions are decent, but not fresh food at all

My goto in Campbell River! Excellent Lemmon Chicken!!!

Not good.

Last nights dinner was awesome, thank you!

First time there for buffet. The server was very friendly. the buffet had no labels to show you what the food was. The soup bowls had stuff stuck to the inside for three of the ones that we picked up and so did a few of the plates. The food was lukewarm to cold. My husband said the same thing. Told the waitress and was told they couldnt do anything about the bill due to nothing being wrong with the food. Was very disappointed for sure.

The Best Wok Burger used to be a homemade style burger, is now made with a frozen burger

Always enjoy the food.

Very friendly staff, our group was fifteen people, food was tasty and served promptly

We were happy. First time there. The server was great. The place looked better and felt cleaner then the Rose Bowl.. The selection was also better than at the Rose Bowl. Why I mention Rose Bowl is because we walked in and walked right out. Seemed like a dirty place. Maybe their food is good? But we wernt trying it. Everything at Best Wok had good individual flavor. The wontons were yummy! Downside tho the desserts however seemed old. Could taste fridge taste in the cake and the jello had a very hard layer on top like its been sitting in the fridge too long..

Tasty lunch all y can eat needs hot plates entrees somewhat cold

Food in the room is awesome when traveling to Campbell River. Mmm good food

Gross!! Can t believe they are still in business!

Slow

What can I say fast food Chinese tons of veggies little chicken on king paw not spicy

Food was cold and service was slow

Hit or miss, usually passable. Their last few VIHA Food Inspections usually containing (critical) violations isnt inspiring.

This is the best buffet on the Vancouver island! I ll come again

Not bad but not great. Pretty greasy but worth a try if your close by.

Great food, pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. What else can you ask for?

Great food and service

I will eat here again and again it was very good and reasonable

Good place for buffet the servers there are really warm and welcoming

We have tried this place a few times and had the last try lastnight. Cheap food and wontons arent wontons. We tried but not worth the money and puffy eyes the next day

Food is awesome. 20$ buffet is really good deal

These guys are way better than they were a few years back. Food is good now And biggest issue before was customer service and thats good now too. Here and quality foods are the only Chinese places my husband and I agree on

We went for dimsum...it was ok, but definitely had better...seems like a family run business trying the best they can in a demographic that doesnt tend to eat real dimsum

Sis in law took us out to eat

Awesome food and big portions. Great place

Great place to eat at

Always a good lunch

The food is fantastic and the service is awsome .

Not good food

I am very sad to say that this delivery was just deep fried prepackaged frozen bar food...bland...plain and nothing special, in fact way to greasy..could not finish it..chow mein was a disaster to look at..this used to be a great restaurant with the previous owner but has turned into another common fry up...almond chicken was hard and dry...spring rolls soggy...sauces were predictable and reject able...sweet and sour chicken was shameful, sorry but true...wont be ordering again...just boring, tasteless and ...awful!

Excellent food and service

Way better than the rose bowl!

New management is good! Chow Mein Soup of Winton are delicious

The taste is very good and the service is excellent. Thumbs up

Not bad but they were really slow getting out fresh items for the buffet.

Great quality food. The buffet is fairly small but very fresh. The driftwood has a much bigger selection but of course is way out of town.

Horrible food

Great food

Excellent foods for the price.

A Surprise near the end of the World! Great dishes!

It was a really good buffet on Friday night. Good selection. And yummy food

Tonight the phoned in take out was 2 hours arriving at our home. Called in after 1 hour. Total confusion at their end. Cancelled after 1.5 hours and food arrived at the 2 hour mark. Refused it.

The service is great, and the food is great too

All you can eat 8 item option was great for our group of divers from the states. Excellent service, good food, honey amber beer.

The appy platter is amazing

Been a regular since high school, food is still as delicious as when I first had it. Only 4 stars because its good, but not my favorite in town. The hours are way better though.

Good food and good people. Lemon chicken sauce was not without its charm though. Tastes like a recycling Depot smells.

Super friendly staff and the food is always great

Best almond chicken

Great value for your coin. This was our second visit this month and have been impressed with the meals both times. Really enjoyed the tableless buffet last visit and the noodle bowls this visit. Will be back!

The food tastes strange, as if the cooking oil needs changing. Chop Suey is full of celery and very little meat. Chowmein was bland. Dry Garlic & Sweet & sour pork was okay but tough to chew. Prawns were tough. Nothing seemed fresh.

Some of my best memories are here. Staff is always friendly and helpful and very mindful of on-going conversations. Bathrooms are neat and tidy every time I visit and its rarely too over crowded.

Love the food

Great food

First time and last time I will ever eat at best wok. I was not impressed with the food at all. Didnt even finish it. I do not recommend eating here.

Absolutely spectacular food and staff, they have no problem at all making substitutions for a small fee. Would recommend to anyone!

I ordered deeep fried wanton for pick-up..and literally what Ive got is a deep fried wanton wrapper with NO MEAT or anything at all..Like Ftw!! Who want to eat wrapper and oil.. 1st time to order here, never again!!!

Ate there a couple times years ago and wasnt all that impressed.. Theyve done a lot to improve things, the food was very nice on my last visit.
