What if we could eat Asian food out of boxes just like in the movies?” That’s all it took for Wok Box to be born. Shortly after opening in 2004, there was a line around the block. That was the moment when founder Blair Stevens knew he had something very special. From our first location in 2004 on Jasper Avenue in Downtown Edmonton, Alberta, to over 60 stores today from British Columbia to Newfoundland, Wok Box continues to have something for everyone and is loved by young and old alike. Whether it’s providing vegan, vegetarian or gluten-friendly options or offering traditional dishes with a contemporary twist, Wok Box infuses every meal with great flavor AND the highest quality ingredients. It's really is more fun in a box at Wok Box.
Not sure what's happened but last two times I've eaten here the usual balance of sweet and spice in there sauces have been replaced by 1 the one dimensional quality I expect from the super market sauces. Super sickly sweet with nothing to offset it. Blech.
I love their food. I only come to Dartmouth twice a year and I ways make sure I make it over. Wish they had one opened in my home town
Food: we got the korean beef bulgogi, butter chicken and free kids dragon chicken (mongolian) as it was a weekend deal. I recommend both korean beef bulgogi (not sweet) and mongolian chicken. Butter chicken is not authentic but good enough to satisfy some cravings. Service: set up is like fast food offering hot meals. So you don’t expect restaurant-like service. There are only two staffs, cashier/preparer and cook. They are both efficient. We went on Sunday lunch with average number of visitors and you barely had to wait. Our orders were ready in less than 10mins Atmosphere: clean, spacious with nice ambiance and music. Overall, the food is good, better than getting fast food. You get decent hot meal for a quick stop. 5-star Rating is relative to the price we paid for.
This place was a lunch staple when I used to work in Burnside. Quick and cheap lunch option. Monday to Friday, you can expect a 10-15 min wait during the lunch rush hour time. I used to go around 1145am to beat the rush. My go-to is the Kung Pao with vegan chickn. I like it because it has peanuts. I load it with Sriracha. Plenty of seating available. Looks like they did a bit of remodeling. I hadn't been there in about 2 months.
Visited the place with my family and we had definitely enjoyed our experience with delicious food and excellent service. We can’t wait to visit again and try other food items on the menu. I would recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.
Wonderful service! The individual (Ajay) that served us was very friendly and helpful and we wish we had them every Wok Box we visit!
Went for an early supper and the service was great and the food even better. Fried rice is the best I’ve had in NS and why I always look forward to it.
It's our first time to eat at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint us. My friends and I were welcomed/ greeted gracefully by the staff. We had observed that the entire place was very clean and the ambience inside the place is very comfortable and welcoming. We loved the set of background songs playing while watching a sports channel. Our delicious and fresh food were ready in less than 10 minutes. We can't wait to come back again and try other stuff on the menu. We highly recommend this place.
Great place, friendly staff.
Their beef and broccoli is amazing!

They mess up my order often, but the food is worth it. They also double charged me and it took about 3 weeks to get my money back. Their fault and I had to wait.

I highly recommend this place. The best Asian restaurant in town. So many food options and the staff are very friendly. Excellent service! Food
Excellent service. Great food. Friendly staff. Cozy ambience.
Amazing food! And it is cooked and served fresh all the time!
the best service and wok ever.. staff are friendly and professional, the place is so clean, and the food is great! we always come by if we re at burnside
I LOVE this restaurant!! Vegan chicken?! Come on! And the Asian cuisine is just soooo delicious and fresh. Highly recommend this stop.
Great authentic Asian cuisine. Delicious fresh ingredients, different noodle options and they even have vegan chicken. Fabulous indeed! Always a stop when I am in Dartmouth Crossing.
Food was great. Service was great. Had a nice chat with the two gentlemen behind the counter. Good experience!
Great when they close 15min early to their closing time. 2 guys inside cooking ignored me but doors locked and signs off and its still 8:50, when they close at 9. Try to rush getting off work to grab some noodles on my way home. Guess not tonight
Left feeling super full. Very good price! Definitely recommend
Whats the best place to eat in dark with Crossing Fair tasty great staff
Very slow service. Server confirmed twice peanuts in bag but there were none. Noodles very sticky. Will not return.
I ve eaten here a few times and have to say that the service that I received on Saturday, July 13 was exemplary. The individual taking my order (I believe their name is AJ) greeted me, asked if I d like any recommendations, upsold me on a combo and was just overall incredibly pleasant. Their service alone would bring me back! (Oh yeah, and the food as always, was great)
Food was great. Orange chicken for the win.
Tried to make substitution (as I have made many times in the past) was told no they have never done that, and wont do it. Food was good and hot. Asked for dine in was packed to go (find it harder to eat out of the take away) overall not the best experience my friends food was burnt.
Kid-friendliness: The owner is very friendly Food
Great food!!
Dont come by unless you have 45 extra minutes to wait for you food to be made
Ordered Spicy Chicken Pad Thai, there was no spice. The pad Thai had no flavour and tasted very bland. Adding hot suave did nothing to improve this. I ve had Pad Thai from other places and they blow Wok Box out of the park. This cost me 24 dollars and I m not happy with my meal what so ever. Wok Box you guys have to sit back and try your food and change it.
The food was good. It was Friday so it was 10% off wing night! The wings were very good. My husband and I plans to go back and try other things.
Quick bites
I havent been in years but decided to try the other day. Food was ready really quickly and the veg was very fresh, staff were kind. Will be back again. Vegetarian options: The structure of each dish is made to order and you choose which protein to add so if youre not having meat thats not a problem. Parking: Dedicated lot right outside if the establishment.
saw MULTIPLE mice running around the cooking area and the guy cooking our food was shoving his hands right into the garbage then went back to cooking without washing his hands. barf.
Always enjoy the orange chicken combo.
Been here many times and not disappointed with the quality of food. This time i got a kung pao chicken with chow mein noodes (amazing) and my mom had a wor wonton soup she enjoyed. They still served us 10 min from closing. Truly appreciated. Thank you. Please keep up the great work!!!
They changed staff and my food is undercooked. Also it was quite difficult to order as I had to say date night deal 3x. Not sure how the quality went down so quickly
Food is subpar. Service was bad as well
The noodles and rice both tasted like theyd been sitting out for a while and reheated. The spring rolls were complete mush and very gross. We spent over $50 for two people and both of us were unhappy with the quality. With the prices of everything youre better off going somewhere with real wok rather than fast food
The worst food this side of the Atlantic. They precook the chicken several days in advance then toss it in your selection of sauces. I hope I dont get food poisoning from partially eating what I ordered which was old cooked chicken and their excuse for a butter chicken sauce. Dont eat there!
Good food
Walked in at 845 and they said they that they were closed. Open sign on and door says open till 9. What gives? My subway I got next door was great.
Order from them today and got a staple in my food, completely unsafe. The order had a sauce missing and supposedly there was a 4pc spring roll for free which I did not get.
Went there for the first time today! Service was great and quick and the food was very good! Will definitely be going back!
I would have loved to eat here but their debit machine doesn t have tap? In 2023 that s kind of a deal breaker, I never have my cards anymore let alone cash. A piece of paper and tape is slapped on the debit machine indicating they do not have tap. Not tap is broken but no tap I m pretty familiar with debit/pos/cc machines and their systems having worked in the industry for years, and the model they had is only a couple years old. It absolutely CAN take tap, that function has just been disabled or locked out, which is kinda sus. Two star is MORE than fair until that changes and I have a chance to eat here! Aside from that the menu looks pretty good for a small chain, and the restaurant appears to be clean inside. It is a small chain operation though, and like most chains from what I could see into the kitchen 95% of products are premade and dishes are just assembled in the wok. Nothing explicitly wrong with that if that s what you like, but worth mentioning.
Really was expecting more from my Crispy Chicken Rice Box. There was so much lemon glaze in the bowl that the rice was floating in it. I don t mind a little glaze, but this was more than necessary. Really had better expectations for this place. Maybe I got the wrong dish and other items would be better.
The wings they offer are a good size. They do have some grizzle on them. They were missing a few sauce choices. Service was slower than expected as being the only person who was placing an order.
We used to love eating here. We hadn t been in a while so decided to go for lunch today. They were out of ice (???) sriracha, and the pad Thai on the menu showed soy eggs and shrimp and it came with neither, but did come with broccoli and carrots. I was told we haven t changed the menu picture yet okay that s still a really strange pad Thai. It wasn t bad, just not what I ordered. Would have been nice to know ahead of time. The attitude from the person behind the counter was what got me. We won t be back.
the food sucked. my teriyaki chicken came with 1 piece of chicken and 2 pieces of broccoli with some wierd spinach? my butter chicken tasted like it was made with minute rice and it was over $25. not happy at all
Always great service and tasty food
Ordered takeout out and chicken was undercooked and was so sick.
Polite service as a newcomer and good food
Food was okay and my whole family felt the same way. Havent been here in a very long time.
A great place to recommend to people you hate. You know how bummed you feel when you spend a lot of money on horrible food? They cultivate that feeling here. The sauces are from a bag, the chicken is the cheapest possible meat byproducts on the market, the noodles are like sand, the atmosphere is postmodern misery but without any music. The food is prepared and served by staff that clearly know it s terrible. For the love of god DON T try this place. I just asked my dinner partner if this review was too harsh and received an emphatic NO!
No drama, helpful
Went here with my family today. Great place, friendly staff, and amazing food!
Service was fast and friendly but the pad thai was bland and flavourless and the noodles were overcooked. Definitely overpriced.
Not bad I guess
Ordered Pho and a side of 4 spring rolls. When the order came in there was only 2. I asked about it and buddy said he put it in as a combo, and a combo comes with 2. They offered to get me 2 more, but I said no worries, it was cool. As I was eating buddy #2 came over to my table with 3 spring rolls on a plate!! What an awesome couple of guys! I added a bit more to the tip and thanked them for a great meal and fantastic service! Clean place, nice variety, very tasty food, great service!!
Fast service, and for pre-portioned frozen food, its excellent.
Little on the pricy side but yummy
Excellent tasting food, friendly service and decent sized portions. Definitely returning in the future.
Since the location on Young St. in Halifax closed, when we are in Dartmouth, we make a detour to this location to get our fix. Love the fact you can get vegan chicken and soy eggs, not just tofu as your vegetarian protein. We also love their superior selection of Bubbly - they have way more flavours than anywhere else.
Web page and door says open till 9 pm I showed up at 8:45 and they were locked up and waved me away . You lost a customer for life Wok Box !!
I like this place.
Fast, fresh and tasty
Food is always filling and tasty, always cooked to order and fast! Probably one of my top food places in the Dartmouth area.
I ordered Kung Pao beef. It was bland.
Its ok but not what I expected
Quick and tasty treat on the go. Various sizes to appease most peoples hunger. Fast, friendly service. A tad dirty, but nothing over the top.
Love their noodle boxes - my vegan go to is their Teriyaki vegan chickn Udon box. So yummy and lots of veg and sprouts on top Quick and friendly staff
Boom food but rarely accept orders from Skip the Dishes
Ive tried this place 4 times thinking it would maybe be better, its so bland no flavour every time.
Have ordered here before, but this long weekend decided to try the butter chicken. Never again. It has turned me off their food. The chicken was like boiled strips with painted lines in it. Sauce was terrible and rice was actually a rice ball. Waste of money!
Delicious!
Delicious
The food is ok but the portions was small.
On September 12th I drove 15 minutes to get there with ample time before closing to order for takeout. Listed hours said they close 7pm on Sundays. I arrived at 6:28PM and as I approached the door an employee came up and locked it and waved for me to go away. Not impressed. Will not be returning.
Food was good. Place was filthy....never going back.
Its ok
So bad, never going there again. Too bad for even one star. The sauces and curry tastes like store bought
Purchased tofu pad Thai and chicken pad thai. There was absolutely no flavour at all. Within a couple bites we knew our money had been wasted. $40 for two sumo servings of the worst pad Thai we have ever had. I d even asked for extra spicy - there was no spice at all, no flavour - tasted like plain noodles. Experience was so disappointing, we will not return. Do not recommend.
Delicious, fresh food - pretty fast! The guys are great to recommend food, too. One of my favorite lunch spots!
The food was absolutely amazing, the staff is very polite and respectful and they have great customer service! I enjoyed my time there 10/10 will be there again.
Its way too expensive for what you get and its not that good. I got the Kung Pao chicken and it was bland, the chicken tasted old (it had a chickeny taste, like old fish has a fishy taste) and it just was not impressive. Hardly any flavor and nothing in it seemed fresh. I wanted to try other things on their menu but now I probably wont as its too expensive to possibly get something bad again.
They made my food in less than 10 minutes and it was great, staff was also very nice.
Ordered food only half of the order showed up and what did show up was made terrible so thanks a lot for nothing do not recommend
Terrible experience. Ordered off of skip - 50$ worth of food just for 2 people - half the order didnt come, wasnt given to the driver - my order was the one that came and it was very mushy and barely any veggies (which is what I chose as my protein option) - also it says that they have a gluten free option - I even noted in the comments for them to switch the spring rolls for something I could have but they just sent the spring rolls I cant even eat - just wow. I dont even know if its safe for me to eat
Good food, pricey for what you get.
Good, quick Asian optims
Delicious, good size portions, friendly staff.
Fresh and fast....but a bit expensive.
Quick delicious Asian food and friendly staff. Also unlike Thai Express of Dartmouth Crossing, they didnt forget the tofu.
Ordered the beef and broccoli and for the price and quantity, it should have been really good. It was not very good at all, this was my last time going there for sure.
Always a treat!
The food was amazing and employees here were very friendly and helpful. Helped me getting what I needed.
Excellent customer service, They have wide range of varieties and delectable food
Always great food. Great if you like spicy and/or flavour!
Love this place. Its like a really good Thai Express.
One of the very best quick lunch options out there.
Delivery was quick. Tokyo beef poutine was really tasty. Would definitely order from here again
The place looked like they are going out of business.
Had a mix up with our order tonight and the gentleman working sorted it out for us! Great customer service(on top of the great food) Will definitely be eating here again.
Sooo good!
Good food
Great place for lunch. Really quick service.
3rd time in 2 months that the food is burnt or I get the wrong thing altogether. Not going back.
Awful service, awful food. Have had Wok Box in other parts of the country many times and was happy every single time. This location is awful. They made a large fuss over substitutions (actual, very serious allergies). The other order (when the person with allergies decided against ordering anything) was bland and oily. There are many other Asian-type restaurants to try. No need to go back here.
It was fresh, and good . Great customer service
Delightful food. Quantity is also good. Seating and atmosphere is a little lacking.
Excellent Experience!! I recommend 110%
The food was nice and hot and came within a reasonable time. Definitely reccomend wok box!
Soggy noodles with no flavor, veggies were yellow and some barely cooked in the sweet mongolian. The chicken wasnt too bad. Edit: Contacted them as they requested just to get an apology through an email... Umm okay? Apologies dont make your food taste any better.
Me and my friend tried buddha bowl. It taste excellent. I really liked the taste of tofu. Hope if they can add manchurian gravy with rice in there menu.
Fresh food, quick service and very knowledgeable. they took there time to make sure i ordered the right food for my taste buds. will be returning very soon.
Their food is okay. Nothing special and is basically just another Thai Express. Their seating is nice and is always clean, although an older gentleman who has been seen working their for quiet sometime has very little tolerance or is not a good people person.
I dont get to have their food that often because my husband doesnt like it so when I get the chance I grab it. Food is fabulous and the shop is very clean. Staff are very friendly.
Tasty
My first time here and it was awesome. Noodles al dente, pho had an unbelievable broth. So good
Great food, fast
Make sure they cook the chicken thoroughly. Mine was not...got a bout of food poisoning. My 6th time there...was my only issue.
Good food, quickly!
Food was great!
quick service, decent food
Wok Box is so delicious!! The service is fast and friendly and the food is delicious, good-sized portions. Its one of my familys favorites!
Great food
