    Our new favourite Chinese takeaway! The food here was so good, the honey chilli chicken and peking ribs especially - the salt and pepper chips were the best I’ve ever had! Delivery was quick and everything was served hot. They even gave us free prawn crackers and fortune cookies which is a rarity these days! Will definitely be going back, try here if you want truly delicious Chinese food.

    I was so excited to give Wokify a try after reading all the amazing reviews. It was more expensive than where I'd usually order from, however I believe that quality is worth paying for. Unfortunately the entire thing was just one big overpriced disappointment. I opened the prawn toast first and the bread must have been old because the edges were tough and chewy while the middle was soggy. The flavour was good but that's no consolation for using bread that was clearly past its best. The salt and pepper chips arrived cold, dry and chewy. I ate 2 before deciding they were completely inedible, so sadly that was £3.80 straight in the bin. I paid £3 extra to "go large" on the duck curry, but in reality it was no larger than I usually get elsewhere for cheaper. The flavour of the curry was pretty bland and had an unusual soapy/chemical flavour to it. The peas were hard while the duck was rubbery and chewy. I know that duck is a fatty meat, but when well rendered it should be tender and melty, not tough and leathery. It was also lacking in sauce, such that most of the rice was left dry. On JustEat, spring rolls were sold for around £5 for a portion of 8, while ordering direct was going to set me back £3.80 for just three. I don't like ordering through third parties who make money for nothing, and would rather more money go to the restaurant, so I ordered through their website. I wish I had ordered the 8 spring rolls because they were the only thing I enjoyed in the entire order. It was nice of them to send free prawn crackers but I didn't really fancy eating them because I was put off by the rest of the food. Same for the fortune cookies. I'm sorry to say but my Wokify order ranged from the barely edible to the totally inedible. An expensive mistake and a let down dinner. Safe to say I won't be ordering again.

    This was my first takeaway from wokify. The food and service was excellent. Much better quality than the usual takeaway. Very fast service and the food was fresh and piping hot.

    Fantastic so far. Three orders in and the food is great. Beautiful noodles and awesome ribs. Had such good luck with the first 2 orders that I then went and tried the honey chicken which I've had elsewhere and not hated but not loved. It was amazing. Perfect. Found my new regular Chinese! Going to work my way through the rest of the menu starting with the other red-starred dishes. - Food quality dropped and can't compete with Canton Garden on the honey chilli chicken, chicken curry, etc. Though wokify are still winning in ribs... :/

    Superb Chinese takeaway! We’ve been looking for a good Chinese takeaway for years now and finally found one. Portion sizes are generous and the food quality is great. Delivery was quick too. Highly recommend.

    Had a takeaway delivered last night, I can honestly say the food is phenomenal! Best satay sauce I've had in years, the chow mein reminded me of living in Hong Kong again. Absolutely brilliant food!

    We always order Chinese from here now as the food is beautiful ! There is so many vegan options too & it’s really tasty & tastes really healthy! Thank you for making great food! Also we think just eat rips off the businesses so we go direct ! X

    I’ve just had a chicken curry with boiled rice and a chicken chow mein takeaway delivered and both meals were superb! The taste of them was beautiful and the portions are very generous. The meat in both was really outstanding and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wokify to anyone looking for an excellent Chinese takeaway in the area. Delivery was quick and my food was hot when it arrived … I only wish I’d tried them before now, because I’ve been so disappointed with other local Chinese takeaways in the past. Wokify is going to be my go to place from now on …! Thank you … 🙏🏼👍🏽

    First Tim trying wokify. Delivery order came an 1hr & 45 minutes after ordered on the phone, had to ring up to find out where my order was after an hour & 30 minutes wait. The main food was lovely but I ordered an appetizer, which was supposed to be sesame prawn toast, turned out to be a bun with sesame seeds on. Overall, the main food was lovely and I would recommend it, but the service and what they tried to pass as sesame prawn toast which I paid £4.50, very poor and disappointed.

    Always excellent quality food. Difficult finding takeaways that cater to allergies but Wokify always very clear of areas of cross contamination and what dishes are safe. 5 stars

    Just collected a Thai Green curry (24.12.22....18.15hrs) and have to say I wasn't impressed, luke warm, watery, large raw pieces of onion, what appeared to be boiled chicken and lacking in flavours. To add, the fried rice was soggy. The peanut chicken skewers, dry, tough and tasteless chicken, the sauce had no taste of peanuts. Such a shame since the last three meals we've ordered have been very good.

    Wow best Chinese takeaway in Newcastle and I have tried a few. Excellent food cooked to perfection by people who know there craft. Great service by very pleasant people. Cannot rate high enough. There seaweed is just something else how you pack so much flavour in to something so basic as seeweed but they manage it. Will be back very soon.

    I originally reviewed this 4 stars when I did so 3 years ago. It was close to 5 at the time. In that time I have returned many more times and it has only gotten better and better. The food is excellent, this is not your average Asian takeaway, the quality is absolutely above and beyond the "norm". My preferred order is Salt and Chilli Chicken with a portion of Satay sauce. I don't normally like Satay, but the sauce here is incredible, super flavourful with a punch of heat. The service is always quick, the food always fresh, crispy (in the right way!) and hot. I wouldn't go anywhere else. The only thing I'd change is the prawn toast, which is not so much on toast as it is in a thick roll where the taste gets lost and texturally feels off. Shame as everything else is brilliant!

    I feel so lucky to have Wokify close to my home. A great range of tasty food and the staff are always willing to go the extra mile. I tend to come and get take out, my food is made quickly while I wait in the seating area. I have Coeliac disease and I’m able to choose from a variety of dishes that can be made gluten free. I feel safe eating here with my dietary requirements.

    No idea why this place has good reviews. We've just had to put most of ours in the bin. Truly awful Been speaking with the owner and they are happy that the food that left the kitchen was fine. It was disgusting re heated food from the night before and went in the bin, they didnt even offer an apology never mind a refund, stay away !!

    We ordered Honey Chilli Chicken, Sweet Sour Chicken, Salt Chilli Chips and some Fried Rice. They were amazing! So full of flavour. Their portions are just right not like other places, we end up binning half of it as they are way too much. Recommend %100

    First time going. Tasty food and huge portions. Guy behind the counter super helpful when asked about Gluten-Free options. Kitchen staff marked containers. Easily going back now.

  • 5/5 kevin b. 1 year ago on Google
    If I was 100% honest I'd say that these guy's food is the best chinese food I've tasted! Their staff are polite and friendly and the manager is a very pleasant guy who really cares about his food and his customers. I have been critical in the past about some minor things however on reflection I can safely say that they do everything they can to make your food and your experience as good as they possibly can. Thanks again
