Worse chinese takeaway I've ever had
Worse chinese takeaway I've ever had. Food arrived looking like mush and 20% of the order was missing. Fortunately I ordered the hottest items on the menu so that I ended up with at least some flavour. Was offered a free meal next visit but that's never going to happen. "Once bitten twice shy".

The overall experience was OK.
The dumplings were sold out but still on the menu- they should put a sticker saying sold out. Secondly, they got noodles labelled SPICY beef noodles. It was not spicy at all and the beef was really chewy and so were the noodles. The overall experience was OK.

Some people are really deaf — you ask about shrimps and you get chicken. I would never ever go there, no matter what.

Sent a different order number
I ordered through Ubereats. I ordered 2 box meals, I was sent a totally different order number even tho the bag had been ticked as checked so obviously hadn't! I do not eat meat & was sent chicken boxes which meant someone else received my paneer order. I called the shop but they wouldn't deliver me my correct order, i cannot get out due to spinal issues to pick it up.
Ubereats only refunded me half the price it cost me plus I had service charges etc on top. I was saying they needed to refund the full amount but they ended the chat with me!
So I have been left without food & out of pocket! Total incompetence. I will never order from these again nor use uber, absolutely disgusting service!
UPDATE
The store manager called me & apologised for the error & resent my order to me. Had someone checked this order the mistake wouldn't have happened, hopefully they will not do this again. Thanks Oodleswok for the reply.

Hi there,
Thank you for notifying us — we were not aware of this situation, and we can now flag it to the Uber Eats team for further investigation.
We're truly sorry to hear about your experience. As the order was placed through Uber Eats, it's possible that the driver may have mixed up the orders during delivery. This is unfortunately something outside of our direct control and would need to be queried with Uber Eats, especially regarding the refund and delivery error.
That said, we’d still like to look into this from our side. Could you please let us know which Oodles Wok store your order came from? If you can email us at reviews@oodleswok.com with your order details and any screenshots or relevant info, we’ll investigate and support where we can.
Thanks again for bringing this to our attention — we hope to hear from you soon.
Kind regards,
The Oodles Wok Team
The food was inedible
I bought a create your own box meal. (First time im ordering from here) So it stands to reason that what i receive was of my choosing but the food was cold. Nothing like the pictures on the site. Everything was drenched in hot spicy sauce making it inedible. The chips the rice and crispy chicken were supposed to be dry. The only dish that should have sauce on it was the Malaysian chicken but it looks like they decided to drench the whole order in hot sauce. I took one bite and had a severe chocking fit. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Plus it tasted stale probably why they drenched it in all that sauce. I've had no choice but to throw it in the bin.

Plain noodles in kids meals.
Ordered kids meals, was given plain noodles with what looked like chicken nuggets. I ordered sweet and sour chicken? This looked like the chicken bites. My paneer was not cooked and not the same as when I’ve ordered previously. Awful. How can you give plain noodles as a meal? Tried calling restaurant but no answer. Will not order from them again.
Update. After 2 weeks received a reply. I emailed the below email address. Response was apology and we hope you’ll order from us again. No recognition that they got the order wrong. I will not order from you again.

Quick and lush food
Don't know what these one star reviews are about. As the portion are just right and too big in some cases. My kids feel happy with their portions too.. however my daughter chooses to go for value box as she prefers spicy food.. Alum Rock Rd is the one we go to and they are great.. I don't know about spiking food as it is an open kitchen so you see how they prepare your food (unless they spike with with some MSG haaiyaaa).. Sohail serves us normally and there is no smirking instead there is a friendly smile and chat.. maybe these are fan of their competition who are giving bad reviewss..anyway try it for yourself.. quick and easy food..

The food here is way overpriced for what you get. The portions are incredibly small—even the kids’ meals barely satisfy a child’s appetite. We left still hungry and feeling like we didn’t get our money’s worth. Definitely not ideal for families looking for value.

Awful place
Awful place. My delivery was over an hour late. my orders got mixed up. Portions are absolutely tiny! I've ordered a make your own box and the box was smaller than my hand. Dont waste your time and money. There are better places to eat.
