It was my first time going to The Boardwok Restaurant its been here for years, my brother has gone once and I just had the time to come over here this time. The inside is nice cozy and tons of tables. They have a bar as well they do things different here with their food since the owner i guess like to fish is what I read and so fresh fish and stuff like that. The food I got was hot and sour soup. It is different the other chinese restaurants that I go to usually never put green beans in it but it is spicy and sour which is pretty good. I also got the combo stir fry lo mein with pork, chicken and shrimp. Although the shrimp maybe fresh it has a taste that isn't fresh. The noodles were great although i don't like the way they package my food. I don't like soggy spring rolls when you put it in the lo mein. Just put it in where you put the dry things in a separate bag like you did for the soup The workers at the bar waitresses are nice and friendly. I only saw and elderly men sitting an eating the booth when I walked in. I think their meal was pretty quick since i walked in at 1130am when it was just opened. the bill came to 31.00 something so charged to debit card no tip since it was take out, but when i waked up at 7am this morning there was an updated charged so total with tip they added onto was 36.20...I would use my cash next time when I come back. If i wanted to add tip I would have, but I didn't want to break up my 20. I will come back next time to try the fried rice read more

OKAY I am hesitant writing a review on The Boardwok Restaurant. It is one of my FAVORITES and I am afraid if people find out how great they are. It will get to busy and then I will be super sad if I cannot easily walk in a get a table. It is such a wonderful small restaurant. Even the bathrooms are cute. The owner is super awesome. He loves to fish and loves FRESH!!!!! Oh baby so many favorites when the food is fresh. The green beans, the asparagus, the broccoli, I could go on and on. OK so when you walk in the staff are ALWAYS awesome. You can ask what is in season or fresh. They have a chalk board that has the specials. If you follow them on Facebook they will let you know when the soft shell crabs are in. And you can also see when the other wonderful fresh bean, asparagus and all that come in. We have ordered everything and have LOVED everything on the menu. My advice if it is your first time. Order Kev's Favorite Lo Mein. And if you go when they serve the She Crab SOUP. It is THE BEST in the entire area. read more

This place was so good when it first opened, sad to say it's not the same. Also, do not order deliver. It's rushed and not even cooked or seasoned. I orders the Fried rice with shrimp...veggies are still raw, rice has no flavor. This will be my last time ordering from them. read more

Our first visit to the Boardwok Restaurant was more than a year ago. The restaurant was dark and there were no customers. We were new to the area and very disappointed in our meals. A year later, a friend invited us and to our surprise it was a complete turnaround. The restaurant was bright and open, full of happy customers. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing: big portions, fresh ingredients with attention to the little things like using low sodium soy sauce as requested. My wife ordered pork lo mein with a side of chicken teriyaki. The dish came with an abundance of perfectly seasoned pork. The noodles and sauce were not like the usual greasy stuff you get in most Chinese restaurants; The sauce was light and very tasty. The chicken teriyaki side was tender with a nice sweetness and was a perfect compliment to the sauce of the lo mein. I ordered Kev's stir-fried rice noodles with pork and shrimp. The portion was on the large side and again the sauce was light and very tasty. Needless to say, we were both very impressed and the friendly service provided by both waitresses added to the pleasant experience. We will be back ... and soon! read more

Our family was starving at this point we spent the day at the pool and wanted to try a new local spot. felt it would be a thing if we spoke up at all about our experience with the food as everyone knew each other that was coming and going . We regret not just leaving as soon as we sat down. Our food came out incorrect, one of the cooks had gotten hurt and we heard a scream from the back super uncomfortable situation and experience. All the fans were on entire family was freezing. We grabbed the beef and broccoli the pot stickers(only thing that was good) , the sesame beef, teriyaki chicken (taste like bad barbecue sauce over decent chicken) kids got the BLT with slaw (absolutely disgusting), the veggie fried rice with spring roll (absolutely disgusting). We came here because of the reviews on yelp. Seems like most are their friends and biased on how it actually taste save your money and go elsewhere. We rarely go out as a family of 5 as it's so expensive so this was extremely disappointing. read more

My husband got the rice bowl with chicken and it looked like someone threw up on it. He asked for soy sauce and he got something that looked like Thousand Island . He got 4mozzarella sticks. I got a burrito and my grandson got chicken tenders and 3 cookies. With 3 medium drinks, the total was about $80 something. This was a big ripoff. read more

Amazing food!! Everything is so fresh and tasty. The portions are large and the service is good. Everything we tasted was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. read more

Delicious!! The lo-mein is the best I have had in the area in the 7 years I have lived here. I tried my son's General Tso Chicken and then I wanted to eat his plate, too! It's a super casual atmosphere and the staff is great. I'll be back there for sure! read more

The Boardwok Restaurant - Pork Lo Mein and General Tso Chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

On a whim, my family and I ordered for pickup through Yelp (which then uses grub hub) from this restaurant. Our family friend swore by this place and the food. Ordering on Yelp was easy enough- especially since when I tried the old school traditional phone order- which kept giving me a busy signal. I placed the order quickly online (Yelp- the restaurant doesn't offer online ordering) and was given an estimate of how long until the food was ready for pick up. The order was completed and ready within 35 minutes. The pick up was the kicker. The lady at the register looked at me as if she had no clue what I was talking about when I said I was there to pick up an online order. Another server walked by and said "oh we don't do Yelp. But we have a grub hub order" and she pointed to a shelf with bags on it. I assumed that it was going to be brought to me, I assumed wrong. The food was so/so. My order was missing 1/2 of the veggie fried rice (I had an order of $125 worth of food). Everything was over salted. The spring rolls were soggy. All in all- I will stick with Panda Express. read more

Great food!! make sure you try the house soup. Never had a bad meal here. A nice fusion of menu items.

Here's a revised version of your review: The Boardwok Restaurant near Sandbridge, Virginia offers a nice selection of food. What we ordered was prepared promptly, according to our preferences, beautifully presented, plentiful, and delicious. The staff were very friendly, quick to answer our questions, and attentive to our needs. The environment was clean and simple--not fancy. It was clear that locals dine there regularly. However, we found the prices to be quite high for a casual Asian restaurant in that setting. We had water, an appetizer, two meals, and one dessert, and with the tip, the total was over $100. That seemed steep to me, but perhaps it's typical for the area. My advice would be to be mindful of what you order, especially since the prices of specials and desserts were not listed. For example, a slice of cheesecake was $9.50. In fairness, I could have asked for the prices. read more

We stopped by Boardwalk today for dinner. The place is so cute and a hidden gem The waitresses were nice and friendly. I wish I took a picture of the homemade Crab Rangoons they were delicious. I got the asian roast pork Lo Mein it had so much flavor. Pat ordered the Sesame beef the flavor spectacular.Things are definitely homemade and each plate that come out is a masterpiece and it's made with love. We will be back Sesame Beef read more

Great food! Very good service unique dishes. Always fresh. It was a great place to go with friends for lunch. Not rushed at all.

Was craving some Chinese food. Went here while staying in the sandbridge area. Staff was super nice, and service was good. Tried the lo mein and it was great. Pad thai was decent. The problem was the general tso chicken. Sauce was a little off, bland and watery, the fried rice that came with it was bad! Tasted burnt, like someone accidentally burnt the rice while they were cooking it then tried to salvage it by scraping the rice pot but the burnt flavor was already in the rice. Teriyaki chicken skewer was super salty. Price was a little high also. It has potential, and I think the rice is normally not burnt and we had a bad batch, but the cook should know better. 3/5 read more

So fresh, I believe everything is made in house and you can really taste the love. Excellent veggie fried rice. The tenderloin with bok choy is not cheap but so worth it! Everything was great! And all of the different fresh sauces are to die for! How do they do it?!? Best Chinese food I've ever had. read more

A friend of mine recommended we go here while I was in town and I am glad we did. We were seated right away and our server was amazing. She was ready to offer any suggestions and was knowledgable about their specials for the week. I went with the Singapore noodles and they were delicious. The portion size was bigger than expected and I had plenty to take home. The flavors were great and my meal came out hot. My friend got a ramen chicken noodle soup. He loved it and devoured it like he had never eaten before lol. I loved that our server checked on us frequently and was just so personable. I love supporting small businesses and this place did not disappoint. I highly recommend for both the food and service! read more

Greeted by very nice people! The food was "homemade " Asian, not your typical Chinese. Fresh ingredients, mild flavors and big portions. The deserts were fantastic and service exceptionally friendly. If you want home style Asian cuisine go for it! read more

We were greeted and sat by who we believe was the owner. Very sweet & welcoming. We got the general tso's with fried rice and Kev's favorite lo mein. The lo mein was outstanding. Shrimp and scallops cooked perfectly. Not too done and rubbery. The general tso chicken did not have too much breading. The fried rice was good but just missing egg (that's just our preference though). Overall, great experience and we will be back. Wish we had taken pics too. read more

This food was absolute dog shit. The fried rice did not taste anything like normal fried rice- almost everyone at the table gagged after eating it. The appetizers were fine but extremely underwhelming. The fact that there's 4.7 stars on this restaurant is baffling. Not one of our entrees were decent- sesame beef, lo mein, fried rice, general TSOs chicken. All awful. Do not recommend. At all. read more

This place had the nastiest food i've ever tried. Seriously it was probably in the top 5 worst meals i've ever had. The staff is amazing and so sweet, but as for the food... foul as fuck. The "fried rice" tasted like dirt. Like imagine if you took hay from a horse stable and turned it into to rice grain and then like fried it. Thats exactly how the rice tasted. Moral of the story don't come to get food from this place unless you like an earthly undertone of literal horse farm stable. read more

Flavors of the seafood stir fry were there, just one critique; I would like the veggies in smaller pieces, but service was excellent

I was here during the restaurant week in 2013. I came back again for this week's restaurant week again for 2014. When you come in, it has a bit of a beach theme inside. Overall, it's a very casual place, and even a year later, I would still consider this place a hidden gem. Tonight, I came in for dinner during restaurant week. I chose from the three course menu. They were very good about taking care of me with my mushroom allergy. They went as far as to call the person who makes the spring rolls to verify it did not have mushrooms in it. For the appetizer, I had the vegetable spring rolls, after verifying there were no mushrooms as noted above. All of the egg rolls are made fresh daily at the restaurant, and you could tell the freshness in the taste of them. Also, the spring rolls were not greasy at all. For dinner, I had the stuffed shrimp. The shrimp were shaped in fantails. The food came out very hot, which is good. You could see right away at how fresh it was. I started with having some of the crab meat. The crab meat was really good, and you could tell there were no fillers in it as well. The shrimp, just like the crab meat, were hot and fresh. It was cooked perfectly and was very easy to get off the tail. The entree also comes with white rice and green beans. I'm not crazy about green beans in general. Next time I would just ask to switch for steamed broccoli instead. Time for dessert. I had the Kahlua cake. From where I was sitting, I could see them getting the cake together. The cake was a huge size and really could have been enough for two people. Once the cake was prepped in the back, I saw the server go to the bar area and put the Kahlua on the cake, as well as some on the side to dip in. This cake was delicious and would definitely do that again. If you come during the restaurant week and plan to do the three course, be sure to come hungry because you get a lot of food. I will definitely continue to come back. If you're looking for something a bit different, this is a good place to go for food. whether you are local or a tourist. read more

Love this place! Great lunch specials! The chicken teriyaki, wontons and fried rice are all very good and filling.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at the BoardWok! Ginger beef, teriyaki chicken, lo mein and appetizers were all excellent. Plus we had the most charming waitress and hostess in VA Beach. Dinner was so good, we may pick up lunch to go from here on our way back home from vacation. read more

Great hidden favorite of the locals. Food is great, made fresh to order. Desserts are outstanding.

I love their soft shell crabs they are phenomenal! The service is great couldn't really ask for a better group of people! And this is hands-down the best place for hot and sour soup in the state of Virginia!!! The variety & quality of food on the menu is exceptional! We love your restaurant thank you for all you do!!! read more

I had a problem with Grubhub address for me. It was resolved when I saw the driver out front of my home. Food was good but we didn't care for green beans. No problem, nice birthday dinner. Thanks read more

I used to do most of my reviews based on the food. Now I am including the service as part of my review. Staff was above average and accommodating. Asian Fusion so they can pretty much make anyone happy with their menu. I loved their outdoor side porch so that my dog could enjoy her dinner as well. I live approx 10 miles away dead center of VB touristy with walking distance to tons of restaurants but wanted to make the drive and give it a try. So glad I did. I will be back read more

This is my favorite Chinese food in the area! I'm not vegetarian, but their vegetarian options are so delicious so I usually get the vegetable lo mein. Quick and super friendly service and very generous portions. read more

Three words: Kev's fried rice. LOADED with fresh ingredients. AND BACON! Customer service is always friendly and helpful. Never disappointed. read more

I apologize for taking 24 hours to post my review... my niece and I had dinner yesterday and had the kindest and most attentive service I've had in a restaurant in a long time. We ordered appetizers and an entrée each, and the timing of the food was perfectly spaced. Our server was exceptional, regularly checking on our drinks and food. I can't say enough about the deliciousness and quality of our dinners. My niece had shrimp lo Mein and I had Kev's rice noodles with roast pork. We could tell our dinners were made fresh and by a chef that has passion for cooking. Although their homemade desserts come highly recommended(S'mores one especially), sadly, we were too full to indulge...but we will try to do better next time. Please come out to try this gem!! read more

Excellent food! My wife doesn't really like Chinese good but she loves this place. I love their Hot & Sour soup.

I go here all the time. The Mongolian Beef is killer, and the chicken salad sandwich rocks.

If you like Chinese food then this is one of the best kept secrets in Virginia Beach. Boardwok is located in the back of a little strip shopping center where the road splits going to Sandbridge on the left and Pungo to the right. The anchor store is a Foodlion. The first thing I noticed about Boardwok's menu was that it was comparatively small for the average Chinese/American restaurant. I actually said "They don't have Mongolian Beef". Don't let that fool you, they do, just not every day. The real trick or should I say treat to eating at Boardwok is their specials menu. It's located on a small chalkboard near the door to the screened in deck. The specials almost always consist of items that aren't on the regular menu. Like 'Mongolian Beef'. So make sure you check it out before ordering. The food there is the most robust Chinese food around IMOP. If your favorite Chiense dish is say Beef & Broccoli, then wait until you taste Boradwok's version of Beef & Broccoli. That's all I'm going to say. You'll know what I mean if you've been there. Last but not least, if you or someone with you isn't a fan of Chiense/American, no problem. Boardwok is also a full service restaurant and there are plenty of choices that even the most picky eater won't have any trouble finding something on the menu. Give them a try! read more
