    Great restaurant with the Southern flavour of Vietnam. I suddenly came here and i was surprised by the yummy food. It is all my fault not to find out this restaurant sooner. It also have the very good price in Ghent with the abundant food.

    Fantastic Vietnamese restaurant. Although it doesn't look like much from the outside, they say to never judge a book by it's cover... After visiting Vietnam for a month, there aren't many restaurants that can live up to the food that is served there. t'Wokske definitely can! The Vietnamese spring rolls (4 for 6 eur) are absolutely fantastic and a must eat when visiting. The interior doesn't look too fancy, don't go here for some romantic dinner. The price is great however and the owner very friendly. Definitely recommended!!!

    We had a fabulous meal here. First we shared the Imperial spring rolls. So tasty. I had the duck with orange and my husband had the lemon chicken. That was the best duck I have ever eaten in my life (and I eat a lot of duck as we lived in Singapore). Huge serving and so tasty and tender. The chicken was good too. The owners are a Vietnamese brother and sister and the sister cooks, while her brother looks after the restaurant. A lovely friendly man and we had such a wonderful night. Wish we lived close by to go back again and again. Thanks for a wonderful meal and great service too.

    Great Vietnamese food. Friendly owners. Affordable pricing. Recommended for lunch or dinner if you're tired of sandwiches or kebabs. This place is located in a busy student district.

    Cheap, original and yet high quality food. Very friendly staff. Originally Vietnamese. The takeaway option is really fast. The only downside of eating in is that you can expect to smell the food in your clothes for the rest of the day. There is a very good deal for lunch.

  • 5/5 Koen V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Tasty, fast, friendly, lots of choice, not expensive. Easy to walk past. Interior is very old-fashioned, that is the only downside. (Original) Lekker, snel, vriendelijk, veel keuze, niet duur. Makkelijk voorbij te lopen. Interieur is heel ouderwets, dat is het enige minpunt.

    The owner is a nice Vietnamese gentleman. We stopped by on our way back from the UK and ate there. They have good Pho. Traditional taste with the special like extra meatball and cooked meat as well as raw meat that gets cooked as you eat. Definitely want to come back. Highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Joren G. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Fun, unknown place in the Ghent overpoort. Enormous good food, great range and that for a very reasonable price. Fast and friendly service, especially worth it if you want to take a quick but decent Asian bite (Original) Leuk, onbekend plekje in de Gentse overpoort. Enorm lekker eten, groot aanbod en dat voor een zeer schappelijke prijs. Snelle en vriendelijke bediening, zeker de moeite als je een snelle maar deftige Aziatische hap wilt nemen

  • 5/5 Joyce P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I've known 't Wokske for a good 10 years now, I still try to combine a visit when I have to be in the Ghent area. By far the best flavors you can eat anywhere and at very fair prices! Don't be put off by the Overpoort when your student years are over, it's more than worth it! (Original) Ondertussen ken ik 't Wokske al een goeie 10 jaar, ik probeer nog steeds een bezoekje te combineren als ik in de buurt van Gent moet zijn. Veruit de beste smaken die je gelijk waar kan eten én dat aan zeer eerlijke prijzen! Laat je niet afschrikken door de Overpoort als je studentenjaren voorbij zijn, het is meer dan de moeite waard!

    (Translated by Google) Tonight we had dinner with 2 adults and 2 children at the Wokske. Pre delicious Vietnamese starters, as main courses we had the duck in orange and the duck t wokske, the children had a chicken curry dish and chicken satay. Everything was equally tasty. The owners very friendly! Excellent price / quality. A hidden gem. We would love to come back! (Original) Vanavond hebben wij met 2 volwassenen en 2 kinderen gegeten bij het Wokske. Vooraf heerlijk Vietnamese voorgerechten, als hoofdgerechten hadden wij de eend in sinaasappel en de eend t wokske , de kinderen hadden een kip curry gerecht en kip saté. Alles was even smakelijk. De eigenaren erg vriendelijk! Prima prijs/kwaliteit. Een verborgen juweeltje. We komen nog graag een keer terug!

    Ghent is an international and multicultural city, then you can drop in diverse restaurants easily! I was happily surprised when I found this small and cozy Vietnamese restaurant nearby the students dorms. Why I'm giving them 5 stars? Let's see the main aspects: Taste: if you're spicy-food lover, this's your place. Very tasty, spicy and enough strong flavor. It was my first time trying bamboo and loved it!! Price: it's reasonable compared to the amount of food... A lot!! And each dish includes white rice. Attention: the owner was very kind and polite. Time of service: I waited for a while enough. Environment: cozy, simple and quiet. Perfect for a delightful dinner. Worth to visit!

  • 5/5 Vernice J. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been going to this place since I was a student. At that time it was a hidden gem. Low key but tasteful dishes. Now it is getting more popular. I have never been disappointed. Favorite dishes are the excellent curry dishes and the dishes with pinda sauce (saté). I highly recommended this place.

    Great place to enjoy Eastern food. Very kind and helpfull owner, basic seating but very nice food for a low price. I recommend the Crispy duck sweet and sour.

  • 5/5 Stijn V. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice Vietnamese restaurant with friendly service and a rich selection of tasty dishes, it is an unknown pearl in the overpoort that you would not expect here. The take-away is smooth and easy to transport by bike and although I have not yet tried the lunch menu, it seems to me a good deal. (Original) Lekker Vietnamees restaurant met vriendelijke bediening en een rijk aanbod aan smakelijke gerechten, het is een onbekende parel in de overpoort die je hier niet zou verwachten. De take-away is vlot en makkelijk te vervoeren met de fiets en hoewel ik nog niet het lunch-menu heb geprobeerd, lijkt het me wel een goede deal.

  • 4/5 Carolien De W. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Tasty and cheap food and friendly service. A typical device that feels uncomfortable to Western standards, but you have to look through that. Be sure to try lunch, that is 100% value for money. (Original) Lekker en goedkoop eten en vriendelijke bediening. Een typische inrichting die naar westerse normen wat ongezellig aandoet maar daar moet je door kijken. Probeer zeker ook eens de lunch, dat is 100% waar voor je geld.
