She did it because I said something BAD PEOPLE BAD MEAL. read more

Not good. The Mongolian beef was something, but not Mongolian beef. The orange chicken was soggy and had a too sweet thick gelatin like sauce. The only thing that was edible was the lo mein but still was not worth eating. Would not recommend. read more

Received egg foo Yung and sweet and sour pork. Both were inedible. They tasted like old grease and otherwise flavorless. I don't like to leave bad reviews, but this one deserves it! read more

I tried Magic Wok for the first time on a recent trip to Cincinnati and would order from here again if I was in the mood for Chinese. I had the Hong Shu Tofu spice level 9 which wasn't spicy to me at all. There were about 5 large triangles of tofu with a mixture of cabbage, mushrooms, carrots and snow peas in a brown sauce that had a sweet and salty flavor to it. The sauce was tasty, but nothing that was unique or different from what I've tried at other restaurants in different dishes. The beef fried rice was good, beef was tender, rice was flavorful and came mixed with fresh bean sprouts which was a first for me, but I love vegetables so no complaints from me. The lady at the counter was friendly, and my pick up order was ready when I walked in the door. If I'm in Cincinnati again, I'll look to try some other dishes from Magic Wok if I'm hungry for Chinese food. read more

What a great experience! The first person who greeted me was named Mary and she was so attentive and friendly. She was very efficient at taking my order and making me feel welcome and I really enjoyed her sincerity and our conversation. I placed an order to go and I was extremely pleased with the quality, flavor, presentation, price, and packaging. Everything was cooked perfectly and the ratio of protein and vegetable in the Szechuan chicken was perfect and the texture of the vegetables was just right and the chicken was tender and delicious. The orange chicken was terrific and it was white meat with light breading and they let me choose the level of heat between one and 10. The eggrolls were fantastic! Hot and sour soup was delicious as well! On top of that, the price was unbeatable and it took less than 15 minutes to cook and package and pay for. I will definitely be back! read more

Order delivered completely wrong. We will not be ordering again. 4 separate items are incorrect.

We ordered carry out from here for the first time and the food was great. It was hot and everything delicious. We had the lo mein and garlic chicken. We live close by so we will definitely add to our list of carry out options for the future. Service was fast and friendly too. read more

I'm sorry but I have never been so disappointed. We ordered Bourbon Chicken. I have never seen bourbon chicken so saucy and sticky and thick. And legit 5 pieces of broccoli. Do NOT order here unless you just want the fried foods. The egg rolls were okay. read more

Magic Wok - Bourbon Chicken...maybe? - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Took a break from work and decided on magic walk for dinner. So I ordered the Kung pow chicken and an egg roll. Now I am a major fan of anything Kong pow but I like it hot. Good and spicy. Was not disappointed! Kong pow chicken was good and hot I ordered it at level eight. Left a good burn in my mouth like it supposed to. Eggroll was delicious with duck sauce! And the fortune cookie was the cherry on top! The peanuts were so fresh and magical. The bell peppers took me to a special place in that heat from the spice was everything Kong pow should be!The fried rice was out of this world. read more

**CARRYOUT REVIEW** first time ordering from here ! 15 minute quote time and I arrived right around then and the food was ready. No one was seated in the restaurant- it's a pretty large space too! And cutely decorated in the entry area. It was sad to see so quiet! The cute little lady at the front was so sweet and She thanked me for my business. Now. The. Food. I ordered the sesame chicken dinner and my boyfriend ordered the general tsos chicken dinner. Each of our meals came with 4 broccoli pieces. Now, I LOVE veggies so I was disappointed it didn't have more like other Chinese restaurants. They used both a mix of plastic and styrofoam containers, less rice than usual was given, but the chicken came with a whole bowl of sauce basically. (Nice to have more than not enough I suppose) but the portions were odd compared to your typical Chinese carryout containers which I do like! we also got 2 egg rolls. The egg rolls were delicious and came with a HOLY MOLY HORSERADISH MUSTARD. This will clear your sinuses! Unique to the restaurant! I liked this place, but was not impressed. Again, carryout is always different than dine in experience! But it's an average spot. And they did not include plasticware or napkins- side note to remember to ask! read more

Magic Wok - Sesame chicken dinner with steamed rice, general tsos dinner with fried rice(no egg or veggies) and egg rolls - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I seriously do not leave a review......hardly ever. To say I'm disappointed would be a major understatement. I just hope to save somebody the time and money as I wish I would of read the reviews prior to ordering. For starters, zero flavor, and seems to be the general consensus. I'm not from the area, so I was taking a chance anyways...I truly wouldn't want to harm anyone's livelihood.i just hope they take heed and fix the issue. Until then, the portions are very small and they are over priced..........to top it all off, my fortune cookie was empty. .....come on, Cincinnati . You can do better read more

They recently remodeled the restaurant. They have Satellite TV tuned to a Chinese station with Chinese displayed since the sound is off. It's been open for many years. The food is decent but a little on the high side. Crab rangoon was excellent. Spare ribs were missing the sauce you get in most Chinese restaurants. Sesame Chicken was very good (large portion with broccoli for $11.95). The bourbon chicken was very good (a little pricey at $14.95). Our final dish Happy Family which consisted of beef, chicken, shrimp and imitation crab was OK at best and pricey at $15.95. Won Ton soup was average and my wife ordered a creamy seafood soup which she liked. Service was very good and staff was very friendly. Restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday night. It is located in a half-empty strip mall in Mariemont. They have coupons in the Entertainment book and website. read more

Back when I lived in New Orleans, I used to ride my bicycle by a very average neighborhood Chinese joint called August Moon. Although this place was acceptable for Chinese-American take-out, I began to notice empty gallon-sized cans discarded by the kitchen door on the side street. They were labeled "Black Bean Sauce," "Lobster Sauce," "Szechuan Sauce," and so on. This was pretty depressing, and revealing. I haven't driven behind the Mariemont shopping center where Magic Wok is located, but if I did so at the right time of day, I'd probably find the same tell-tale cans. But the sad thing is, Magic Wok is probably among the best of a mediocre Chinese-American lot on the east side of town. A few weeks back I started a Yelp Talk thread asking about where to get decent "Chinese-American" fare, not because I'd prefer it to the authentic stuff, but because the authentic stuff isn't available within a five-mile radius of our house. A couple of fellow Yelpers mentioned Magic Wok, so we checked it out. I'll give Magic Wok this: Their restaurant, if decorated in an almost comically stereotypical way, is clean and comfortable, and the food tastes relatively fresh, and it's reasonably priced. Hot and sour soup actually tasted somewhat "hot" and "sour," as opposed to neither, the latter of which is all too typical around here. The owner/server on duty at the time was as friendly and helpful as she could be. But the wife and I ordered two different chicken dishes, and the very processed-tasting sauces were virtuallly identical, except for one being more sugary. Or corn-syrupy. Anyway, by the standards of Chinese-American on the east side, Magic Wok is probably the way to go. read more

Ordered through door dash and the driver forgot part of my order- what I did receive was delicious! The best crab Rangoon I've ever had. The tofu and asparagus stir fry was also yummy. Not sure why I haven't tried this place before but I will be back! read more

We really like this place. The service is always great and the food is fresh. The Mai Thai's are the best I've had outside of Hawaii. We come here a few times a month and haven't been disappointed yet. read more

Magic Wok - Yummy! - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Extensive menu. We tried 4 items. Everything was bland. The sauce fir the coconut shrimp was like a thick chicken broth. The hot and sour soup was nothing but a thickened, gray brother with a few things thrown in. Won't even mention the other items we had. All completely tasteless. Won't go back. read more

I've gotten take out a lot over the last few months and it's always delicious and timely!! Thank you Magic Wok!!

ordered the beef and broccoli as well as the vegetable egg roll. got about half way through my food when i discovered this little guy in it. called to speak about it and was offered a credit for next time or for them to remake it. had to ask a few times to get the money refunded before they actually did. pretty disappointed. read more

Magic Wok - Beef and Broccoli with a side of maggot... - Chinese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The food was overpriced for the poor quality and small quantity. "Fried rice" looked like white rice was tossed with a little soy sauce, still mostly white. Both entrees we order were bland. At other restaurants, two entrees usually feeds the two of us 2-3 times, this would not have had left overs if we'd cleared our plates. read more

Gave this spot 3 stars back in 2015. I think it's time to take away a star and to say ba'bye to the Magic Wok. This place has never really blown my bangs back. The food is ok. But for the price, it should be more than "ok." Again, hubby ordered his food the hotest he could get it and again, i was able to pick off his plate, no problem. Not enough sauce with the meals, fried wontons fried a little too long. Again, for the price, these are things I should not have to complain about. Last night's dinner was over $60 for 3 of us and none of left with a smile on your faces. Our waitress was the friendliest either. Sorry, Magic Wok, but you have lost a good, paying customer:( read more

This is hands down my favorite local Chinese restaurant and that is hard to find! The food is fresh with tons of flavor and the eggrolls are the BEST. read more

We live in Fairfield, OH but I recently stumbled across Magic Wok while searching restaurant dot com and purchased a certificate and decided to check them out tonight. First impressions were good, we were greeted warmly at the door and the restaurant while looking small and assuming on the outside is quite nice on the inside. Menu looked promising, quite a selection although the prices are on the high side. My wife loves fried fish, so we went with the Thai Crispy Sea bass. We also ordered the Tofu Seafood Delight in Clay Pot and szechuan green beans. Took a while to get our food but we weren't in a hurry. We finally got our food and what a let down. Thai Cripy Sea Bass, $19.95, was similar to a bad version of sweet and sour chicken. We were expecting a lightly battered whole fish or filet of fish, stir fried in a sweet but spicy sauce. What we got though were small pieces of fish, a bit larger than fish sticks, heavily battered and in a really thick, goopy yellow sauce. The vegetables were lightly blanched and on the side, not even in the sauce (which was probably a good thing) The Tofu Seafood Delight was only slightly better. When I think clay pot and Chinese, I expect something flavorful and somewhat exotic. Tofu was described 'deep fried', but it was probably more like lightly pan fried and not much of it. Sauce was bland and for the $17.95 price there wasn't much there. The szechuan green beans were the star of the dinner, and at $9.95 they are expensive compared to other places. Good flavor, but not quite as good as say Uncle Yips. All in all, I cannot recommend this place. Adolfo N.'s review from 5/15/2011 describes "Gourmet Chinese" and "General Tso's Chicken" maybe that is gourmet in Mariemont, but I sure hope not. Place has great potential, staff is really nice, place is clean and well presented but their prices are extremely high (Mariemont factor?) and their food, well it sucks. Your mileage may vary. read more

Thanks so much for taking my late order as it was 15 minutes to closing time and I didn't feel any negative energy towards me coming in late to order. I've been here one other time and the food was good! read more

I rarely stop by any Chinese fast food since they all taste kind of same to me. I was hungry and in the area so I thought I gave Magic Wok a try. Well, it's not fast food but an actual restaurant. Since the greeter/waitress are Chinese, I thought it would be authentic..... I was disappointed because the food are simply Americanized. I had hot N sour soup (which is too sweet for my taste) and I ordered Singapore Noodles (Barely tasted the curry in it) I am sorry, I didn't feel any Magic at this place.... read more

My group of 10 women ate lunch here on a Thursday afternoon, and we all thought the food was tasty, a great value since we ordered from the lunch specials, and the server did a very good job of taking orders, filling drinks, and bringing out the food. We loved the fact that we got to sit at a round table so we could all talk with each other, and we plan to bring a larger group here! I got the hot and sour soup, which was full of veggies, and very hot and sour! Not too spicy. My egg roll was not one of those tiny ones, but a nice size and very good. My entree of fried rice and vegetable stir fry had a very tasty sauce and was excellent. All this for $8.50! read more

I had to give a 5 star as my favorite Chinese dish is the Hong Kong Chicken at the Magic Wok. It is not the healthy choice as the chicken is deep fried with a batter, but you have to be a bit bad now and then. And this dish is well worth it! The seared dumplings were also wonderful dipped in the ginger sauce. The decor is classy Asian and I always find the place very clean. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would. Worst place to order food. Don't waste you're money.

Food flavor has deteriorated, service is poor,and ambiance is lousy. Their policies and employees need improvement. I seldom write reviews but needed to mention this place that USED to be nice. Sorry read more

Ok, I've been eating here for a while, and It's time to fess up... I order the same 2 dishes over and over, so I have no idea what gourmet chinese food is. BUT, I am a fan of big gooey hunks of crispy chicken, and the Tso's and Sesame chicken are just that, so for that I am a fan. There's coupons all over the place, so grab one, it is a little pricey, but it comes with the neighborhood. It is my favorite take out spot out of the 3 in the area. I rarely see customers inside, but I usually avoid the lunch/dinner rushes. when I do sit in, the wait staff is very attentive. read more

Ordered General Tso ($11+) didn't come with rice, ordered 2 eggs rolls ($2.50) and only one was delivered. When we called they argued in the background then basically told us we were wrong. This place is over priced, not good and lacking serious customer service. * prices could of been more expensive since we ordered off uber eats. read more

Always great food and friendly staff. We always enjoy the food and the service. They have a great fish tank and the brown rice is only one dollar. read more

Their food is by far of the highest quality. I preffer their food even though you pay a little more for the freshest food. Othee places crab rangoon tastes stagnent but these are great. And the general tso's chicken is fricken awesome. read more

The worst Asian restaurant I've ever ordered from. The food (that was delivered) was sub par at best and there my crab Rangoon was missing. When I called to complain the lady worker kept over talking me and said I could drive (30 minutes) to come pick it up. The whole reason I paid for delivery was so I didn't have to drive there. When I spoke to the manager he said he did not care and hung up on me. Terrible, terrible place. read more

This place has a ridiculously large menu, with a good mix of more authentic dishes and Americanized Asian food. I've only ordered for takeout and am intrigued by some of their new menu options, including some claypot dishes, and pho. We'll see. The pricing is okay, food tasted fine, though nothing to rave about. When it comes to Chinese food in the area, I either get excited about really delicious authentic cuisine or really cheap Americanized food, and I'm not sure Magic Wok falls in either category. However, for the occasional Chinese takeout fix, this will do the trick since it's nearby. read more

The food here is much better than the carryout Chinese joints in the hood. I got the combination chow mei fun which was piping hot and very flavorful. I had more than enough to last me two days. The prices seem a little high for less than gourmet Chinese food but it was better than most. read more

Went for lunch. Got Yu Chwan chicken. Asked for #3 on spice b/c just want a little tease of heat. Great hot & sour soup w/ tons of veggie in it. Entree came out fast and was wet with a lot of sauce which I like + plenty of veggie! Was real good. read more

Not the best meal tonight. Very little chicken in several dishes and mediocre flavors. A bummer because when you spend that kind of money you should get some value, none here tonight. read more
