Review from Kaeleigh E.

I really like Wok Box - the staff are always friendly, their spring rolls rock, if you get in on the lunch special it's a pretty good deal to boot. However, if you DON'T get in on the lunch special it's really over-priced. I mean stir fry is what I make when I'm poor and I have no money, right?
It is tasty though. I really like the cashew chicken and the lemongrass chicken stir fries. It's also a healthier option in a fast food world where getting your 5 servings of veggies is becoming increasingly difficult if you aren't making your own meals, every meal.
I'm definitely a fan and I will definitely be back time and time again. Thanks Wok Box, you totally wok!! ;) (boo, I know) -

I really didn't know what to expect when I went to Wok Box, but the interior really surprised me! They have big, squishy booths and lots of tables, plus a patio that looks like it'll be nice in the summer.
Since trying the lemongrass chicken, I have been hooked. I find everything here tastes really fresh (if a bit overly saucy). I wasn't crazy about the black bean stir fry, but I am very into the Singapore Cashew with udon noodles and shrimp...mmm!
The staff here are really friendly and the place is kept clean. I dig it! I find the lunch specials to be the best deals. -

Good food, big portions, and full of flavour.
Went for dinner last night and split an order of lemon curry chicken with a nine year old. Realized after ordering that they do have a kids menu - for only $4 per order - but when we got the bowl, I was happy we'd split it as I'd never have been able to finish by myself.
It definitely had a spicy kick, with lots of veggies and chicken. And, only $10.50 for the whole order! Also, they have glass cups for water, and if you stay, the food comes in 'real' bowls - paper is only for take out.
Good service, lots of tables... I will be back! -

They say Wok Box, I say "Crock Box". As in it's a crock of s**t.
What they're charging for their bland brand of Asian favourites, that is.
My lady and I had high hopes when we picked up her Pad Thai and my Szechwan Pepper stirfry. Those hopes were quickly dashed, however, when we got home and found the two to be virtually indistinguishable from each other. Moreover, there was hardly any chicken in either of our stirfrys. Sure, they offer a double meat option, but that would be an additional $4 per meal, which would take the total price to over $30 with no beverages. That's just WAY too much for subpar fast food.
That being said, the dudes working there were exceedingly friendly and the restaurant itself was impeccably clean and comfortable. As an added bonus, they serve their food in the classic Chinese takeout boxes you always see in movies set in NYC. It's just too bad that the friendly people and the sparking restaurant are filling their cool boxes with such filth.
The Wok Box is proof positive that if you want great Asian food, be it Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese or Japanese, you should pass on this generalist and go directly to the specialists.
