Amazing Wok

I walked in to get a takeout. I guess it would have been better if I called to order before coming in. but seems like its taking way too long. I waited for good 40 min for takeout.. And still waiting. As I see all the food just rushing out on to the tables that came after me. I am not sure if I am impressed wth the waiting system here. just asked how much longer of the wait and she says. another 10 more min. Hope the food is worth of all this wait.
So i got my food after an hour and fifteen minutes. The food was good. Worth waiting but not whole an hour and fifteen minutes wait.
Things that I was pleased with the restaurant are.
They ask if you would like crispy or soft chow mein. They put the sauce on the side for crispy noodle request. For Togo experience, although the waiting was brutal, the food was good. The amount of food was generous. packed with no space wasted in the container. Food was good but nothing special outstanding for the flavor. Good Chinese food.
*** must give generous time of waiting on picking up foods.(Even you called first to order). As I waited for over an hour, not one pickup customer was able to avoid waiting on the order.
Also if you want chopsticks with your takeout, it’s wise to ask as you order on the phone. If you ask at the restaurant.. That another good 3 to 5 minutes waiting. ***

This place is fabulous! The staff is very pleasant. The food is among the best I’ve had! Delicious peach and shrimp, calamari is great and love and the honey sesame chicken!

Maybe this is when the previous reviews work. I should’ve read it.
Ordered 2 items @ $ 30 for PICK-​UP and waited 45 minutes there. & lost all our appetite. The restaurant wasn’t busy with only about 3 – 4 tables.
Food quality? Just about the average chinese food anywhere else. I’m not going here again.
Service: 1
Food: 3

Great delivery and take out. I love how all the bad reviews are price and food quantity based. The food is fresh and tastes amazing!!! If you want cheaper poor quality Chinese food don’t eat here because that is not what you will get! I love how unrealistic people are. Haha cheap fatties always bitching on Unilocal

This was a last minute decision on a busy day. Our normal spot made me mad when I tried to order via app (didn’t go through properly) and on the phone (tried to charge me extra when they shouldn’t and wouldn’t admit it), so this was honestly the next closest place.
The service was great, but the food was just decent for what they charge. The Ginger Beef and Lemon Chicken were solid players, however the Cantonese Chow Mein was a little lack luster. I might try the Mixed Meat Chow Mein instead, and give it one more go. If it doesn’t work out, I might be on the hunt for our new Chinese Food go to! I hope it’s good, though, because the people there are so nice, and it’s super easy to get into and out of off of the QEII on the way home.

The food was good, however the cost of the take-​out is about three times the cost of anywhere else in Edmonton for the portions received.
We will not be ordering there again. There are many similar options that present a far better value in the area.

Since we aren’t usually in this area, the restaurant was a bit hard to locate especially on a busy Saturday afternoon on the roads. What a gem this place is! We enjoyed our lunch here and if we lived closer, I’m sure we would be eating here often.
The parking lot is a bit small and there were lots of cars so I thought the restaurant was busy. We walked in and there were about four tables taken. We were greeted immediately and seated. Our Chinese tea arrived soon after. There are a few larger tables good for families. It was hard to decide what to order, they had dishes ranging from snacks, noodle soups, stir-​fried noodles, rice and entrees. We ordered beef brisket noodle soup for $ 9.00 and beef brisket lo-​mein for $ 10.00. Both portions were a good size but the lo-​mein looked bigger. It came with broth on the side. The beef brisket was tender and lean and had just enough sauce.
I noticed a take-​out menu by the till but when I went up to get a copy, I was told it was the menu for western Chinese food. I was surprised that they have two different menus but it would make sense so they can accommodate different customers.
Edmonton needs more smaller restaurants like this one all around the city. The food was excellent and we will definitely go back and try other dishes.

Portions sizes are so small for price of dishes for take out. Employee even said eat in fives double the amount of food for same price. Substitutions cost $ 2.00 per substitution. Place was near empty when we went so they can’t be that good.

I was there for lunch, it was moderately busy, about ½ full. I stood by the door for minutes without anyone coming over. I waited and waited, all of the waitresses appear to be avoiding eye contact at all cost. Eventually, an owner/​hostess type came out of the kitchen and directed me to an empty table. There I sat, waiting; again waitresses flying by avoiding eye contacts, the hostess was busy collecting money and handing out takeouts. Eventually, the hostess delivered me an menu and some tea. There I sat, menu closed, waiting and waiting, eventually the hostess came back to take my order. By this time, I have decided that the service is bad here. The waitresses were busy avoiding eye contacts and the owner/​hostess was not really interested in serving anyone other than what appears to be a table of regulars.
I quickly ordered the Beef Brisket Lo Mein and prayed for the best. The food came relatively quickly. It looked good, nice big chunks of beef and some nice greens to go with it. The portions looked good for $ 10.
First bite was not great, the beef was salty, the chef was quite aggressive with the seasoning. Then the noodles, they use chow mein type of egg noodles, completely wrong for lo mein, wrong textures, wrong taste; there was no familiar lo mein crunch to the noodles, very disappointing. Then the accompanying soup, that was the worst part of the meal, completely flavourless; it was basically warm water with a few pieces of scallions floating in it.
Lousy service combined with mediocre food = 2 stars, probably could have given them one star but the place was very clean and nicely decorated. The two big screen TVs with sports on kept me entertained.
Would I return, not likely, the food just wasn’t good and the service was horrible. If that was the level of service when they were ½ full, I would hate to be there when they are full.

I am visiting Edmonton from California for my cousins wedding. The location was very nice and clean, it was pretty slow when we arrived so service overall was great!
The food however… was amazing! Seeing that I was born in Taiwan and live close by LA in California, I have had many different asian restaurants. I have to say the flavors here are on point and I would recommend anyone who enjoys Asain food to try this location!

It was last Friday night. 10:00 was nearing and for some reason, we still hadn’t had dinner. Amazing Wok sounded, well, pretty amazing at that point!
I hadn’t given this little plaza much hope before then — it’s a bit awkward to access, and Chinese restaurants seem to be a dime-​a-​dozen in Edmonton. However, when it comes to taste and quality of the food, I was certainly impressed — even after arriving at home with our take-​out order.
The staff were friendly and helpful — and the food was ready upon my arrival 10 – 15 minutes after placing the order. I got a good laugh when the lady held up the ticket and asked if it was mine — The whole thing was written in Chinese characters (which I obviously couldn’t read!) Thank goodness for phone numbers!
Amazing Wok was indeed pretty amazing — we especially enjoyed the Shanghai Noodles, and the Sweet and Sour Boneless Pork — and we’ll be back sometime soon (hopefully a little earlier).

We have had dinner here two times and take out twice. Both times we have had good service and food. It did get a bit busy today when we arrived at 6pm but that’s because the place was packed. Certainly a good thing. Service was attentive and after we ordered food can out in about 15min. The in-​laws were impressed by the portion sizes and liked all the dishes.

It’s a hard review to write. The food is amazing but, without a doubt the worst service I have ever experienced. Definitely a take out place. Do not eat in.
My wife is sitting across from me getting more and more angry as the minutes tick by.
Zero star for service, four star for food.
