We've had many meals here. Whether it's lunch or dinner, dine in or take out, it is always fabulous & delicious food. From egg rolls & spring rolls, soups, to entres every choice I've made was greatly enjoyed. We don't live in the city so we have never had delivery but they do deliver as well.

I liked the chicken balls, the ribs were alright but the rice was awful.

Ordered combo #10 in menu, I was amazed to see the sauce container in side the main container, where you have your main course. Few spoons of rice and rest occupied by the container. This was my first experience in 30 years, please share your experiences with me, if this is normal practice by these Chinese restaurants.

I am absolutely disappointed with the meal my partner and I ordered off skip the dishes. We ordered two beef pho, only to both open up a small container with a fist full of noodles that were chopped up, and a small container of broth. Considering we are paying $20 each for a bowl of soup that probably costs $8.00, the portions are EXTREMELY small. About half the size compared to everywhere else in town. For someone who lived in Vietnam for almost two years and has experience eating lots of pho, even the broth tasted like bland salted water. I’m not one to complain publicly, but what put me over the edge was how the owner treated me when I expressed myself regarding my order. Her tone was very rude and didn’t apologize or anything, just told me that this is how they’ve been doing it the last 10 years. Needless to say, I’ve been a customer of Woking Bird for many years, as I enjoy their noodle bowl. But after my experience, I won’t be returning.

Ordered special soup from Skip, the wrong order was delivered with someone else's order number on the bag. When I called to let them know, the situation was immediately escalated by the owner. It was a simple mistake, but everyone from me, the app, my husband, to the poor delivery driver was blamed. Why did I have to spend 30 min on the phone just to get the food I ordered? Why did I have to raise my voice just to keep from being constantly interrupted? They finally sent the soup after the worst phone call I've had to experience. The soup is good, but there are other soup places in town who won't put you through hell over their own mistake.

The food here is awesome! Love the noodle bowls and the different won ton soups. The chicken balls are the best we have ever had- not all doughy like some- and really crispy. The only place I will order from. The staff is very friendly and we have had no issues with them or their service.

The Chinese food is great!! Only thing I ve had from this place I wasn t a big fan of was the pho and only because it s a small portion n very bland taste.

December 23, 2022

Started off great and then my elderly father went to the washroom and some lady started yelling.. don t smoke pot in the bathroom to my father. He has severe bronchial asthma and has never smoked a day in his life. And then made us feel very unwelcome.. 0 out of ten

Best Chinese in Thunder Bay!! The only Chinese restaurant open on a Wednesday in Fort William. Although there was a language barrier with the person who took my order over the phone; when I spoke face to face she didnt sound rude and we both understood each other. I forgot my sauces and she called me back and left a message which was understandable. Vegetarian options: Variety of food in a bowl Parking: Easy to find a close spot to the hidden entrance door. Wheelchair accessibility: The main site has a wheelchair accessible push button. The restaurant is fully accessible.

December 23, 2022

Worst chinese food I ve literally ever had in my life. The chow mein had the nastiest hard/chewy noodles there was also hardly any noodles thank god because they were horrific. Maybe this is what people in Thunder Bay consider Chinese food I don t know but it s TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE. $63 for a dinner for two of the worst pile of slop I ve ever had. Do yourself a favour and just don t.
