I got recommended this place as one of the best/only indochinese places around Durham! Stopped by for their Thursday lunch buffet and it was great. The price was really good, especially for the variety and quality of food. Everything was well seasoned, loved the dry chili chicken, super flavorful. The space inside is big and spacious and didn't feel crowded. Service was efficient too. They refilled the buffet trays pretty frequently and cleared plates, so the table never felt cluttered. The virgin mojito was so refreshing as well. Overall, a solid spot for lunch. read more

My third time enjoying Wok On Fire with family, and the Indo Chinese food is consistently delicious! Loved the corn appetizer, which is perfectly crispy and savory! The shrimp spicy mayo appetizer was also fantastic. Burnt garlic fried rice and chicken were excellent! Noodle dish was great! The masala soda was sooooooo good with chaat seasoning. read more

We came late on a Tuesday night, thinking this was a Chinese restaurant. It's actually Indo-Chinese which I haven't tried before. I only ordered the Mainchow Soup, which has mixed vegetables in soy sauce base served with crispy noodles. The soup is too salty which works well when you dilute the flavor with the crispy noodles. It would probably be better if we ordered some white rice with it, but we just stopped by for something light. I was also expecting more meat since I added chicken for protein. We thought they forgot, but the chicken was actually minced pieces, as with the vegetables. My friend wanted the Tom Yaum soup but our server said that is super spicy - thanks for the heads up. The place was clean and looks quite nice inside. read more

Food was amazing and just food alone it's a 5 star. The chili baby corn was super crispy and was absolutely amazing. The dragon paneer was also super good and the steamed momos was a 10/10. I got the chicken schezuan noodles and they were great and the portion was huge! The service and ambiance were my only complaints. We were seated in the corner where we felt a bit forgotten about read more

We stopped in for lunch. Staff was very friendly and meal was great, a bit on the spicy side at medium, so watch the level if don't like the heat. read more

I've ordered takeout from here a few times but today I ate in (starving after a doctor appt). Service was friendly. I always order the veg burnt garlic fried rice and I personally love it. Amongst the veggies is baby corn, which I really like and don't see at many places. I order it medium, it's pleasantly spicy. It's a generous portion, usually enough for me to have about half saved for lunch the next day. I also ordered the fresh lime soda and it was so refreshing. Not syrupy sweet - just tangy and light. It was perfect to go with my meal. read more

Wok On Fire - Burnt Garlic Fried Rice Veggies - Chinese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I said "You know the food is good when it's only Indians" and an Indian said "You know it's good when the white people are fat". The food is great. It's indo/chinese fusion. A unique flavor you won't find anywhere else in the triangle. read more

Went there this evening to celebrate mother and father-in-law's anniversary, the atmosphere is nice trendy and refreshing, the service is superb and quick, the taste of the food is pretty solid, but my major disappointment here is it was a good reminder as to why I don't dine out that often as the price points were atrocious for what you get. I regret not snagging pictures but was caught up in just enjoying company and being out after a long day of rain that I forgot, woops! Kids meals were $10 but comparatively at similar places would be in the $6 or $7 range. I had tempura shrimp and while the shrimp flavor was amazing, the amount of tempura was very heavy and I felt took away from the protein too much. Hubbs got a spicy dragon chicken which had decent flavor but read more

Stopped into Wok on Fire after shopping at parkside. Would also be a great spot for a date before a movie. The service was quick & the waiter was very kind. I got the hokka noodles with chicken and they were great! It was also enough for dinner and another generous portion for left overs. Would order from here again! read more

This place is the most accurate representation of the "indo chinese" fusion cuisine that's extremely popular in india. Quick and friendly service with a faux fine dine setting. The spice levels are deliciously on the higher side. Of the many times i've dined or taken takeout from here, these items have never disappointed: 1. Veg Burnt garlic fried rice 2. Chicken manchurian gravy 3. Non alcoholic masala lemonade ( ask for less "masala" which are spices 4. Fresh lime soda The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that food is not quite consistently great. read more

I feel like every time I'm here it empty. So, I love this place. I have a funny story where I showed up with my teenage daughter and she ordered the American chop suey or something like that. And I'm like why are you ordering that here anyways she ended up not liking it and eating my paneer dish. When the server came back and noticed we hadn't eaten it. I apologize that we shouldn't have ordered it in the first place and they still took it off the bill which I thought was really nice. This has nothing to say about the restaurant, but any restaurant you go in and order something that has to point out that it's American should not be ordered note to teenagers. That said everything on the menu is amazing. It can be a shade on the spicy side, but I love that the service is great and there's a comfortable warm feeling there. read more

Excellent food and service!! This was my second time eating here and everything was delicious!

Update for my last review... This place still rocks!! Don't let the seemingly low volume of patrons worry you. They have a thriving take-out business, and they had a 50-person order go out while I was there despite only 4 couples dining in. The food is AMAZING, FRESH, AND PACKED WITH FLAVOR! read more

The Pros: The food is good. Good take on the spices and combinations presented. The amount of food received is reasonable for the cost of the dish. The inside of the location is so pretty! Love the decor - somewhat a cross between a "sexy" club and nice dining. The location overall is a good one for the location and the pricing is some what in line with other establishments like this one. The Cons: However, my low rating goes to the service - particular one server. Let me paint the picture like this for you: We arrive and immediately we are greeted by two older men and server #1. Server #1 asks, is this our first time and starts to place the menus on the table. We provide that it is and from there she provides us some additional time to look over the menu and grab our drinks. Issue #1: the menus only list the name and price. It doesn't provide really any information on HOW they prepare their dish. What the adjustment of spice level can be for the dish or anything additional to determine if you want it or if there is something that might not be able to have due to allergies. Suggestion #1: update the menu to include dish descriptions and if the spice level can be adjusted. This helps with understanding the dish and not having confusion with the server trying to figure out what's in it and so on. While we await for server #1 to return, we are approached by server #2. They again are asking if we need any help and if we are ready to order. Okay, it's only been 2 mins, but we let them know we are still looking the menu over. Within 2 mins, server #3 has come over. Again, asking the same thing. At this point, I am like what is going on? Are we talking to long? Then I realize once server #3 leaves there is an issue. There is main server (we will call her "Runner"). Runner is literally running around demanding server #1, #2, and #3 to do this and that. They have no time to even stand and think. You see the stress over their faces - they go to take an order, Runner is right behind them - demanding it be entered a certain way in the system or do this or do that. I felt bad for server #1, she never returned to our table because she was "dragged" here and there. As soon as she would be on the way back, Runner would demand she make this or take this to this table. Server #1 would look at our table, but again - never made it back. There was some much "drama" service was hectic and confusing. We didn't receive some of the items that should have come with the dish. Other tables - were consistency asking for items that should have been provided with the dish. You would look up and see Runner fussing or carrying on with the servers. When in fact, if she would have left them alone - they would have been better at doing their job. Hopefully, this is not the case and this is a one off type of day. Looking at the comments from others regarding service, I don't think so. Runner, should take a lesson in proper customer service and how to treat your wait staff. They are reflect of you - not of themselves. IF you are treating them bad and causing confusion, the rest will be displayed in how they are able to conduct business and attend to your customers. With that, I don't believe we will return for service. read more

I LOVE a good Indo-Chinese cuisine and I feel like this restaurant is a gem! I'm actually very surprised to see the amount of low rated reviews this restaurant got but it didn't discourage me from trying it anyways. However, I only got to base my review off 2 dishes but those two dishes were enough to sell my mom & I on going back again to try some more. We got the food to takeout, but the restaurant looked clean and we were greeted by friendly waiters. The drums of heaven, which a lot of people know by the name "chicken lollipops" was absolutely delicious and very flavorful. The angry shrimp were pretty good too, tasted like any other saucy firecracker shrimp. You can get the food extra mild, mild, medium, and hot. We chose medium and it had a good amount of heat to it so if you can't take spicy food don't underestimate medium. read more

I have been here for dining for more times than I care to admit, this is a rock solid place for indo-chinese food! The waiting time for food is not long at all, usually within 10/15 minutes, which is a big plus and cant say the same for other good Indian places (Looking at you Anjappar) Drums of heaven, Manchurial Chicken, Chilli Chicken, Black pepper chicken, pepper cottage cheese, Szechuan fried rice, hakka noodles -- all very good, very satisfying. The corn kernel starter is absolutely amazing, crunch chewy corns smothered in green onion, salt pepper garlic-- awesome. Ginger Chicken, burnt Garlic fish -- also good, but prefer the items above. Was always served with polite service. read more

I picked up veg Manchurian (dry) and veg schezwan noodles. The noodles weren't what I was expecting in terms of flavor and spice (they could've used more sauce/spice), but they were still good. The veg Manchurian wasn't bad but it was dry and hardened (didn't taste fresh). The Manchurian balls look big but inside there is barely a filling and it was difficult trying to chew the outer portion. Overall, this place is pricy but the quantity was reasonable and I did enjoy my meal so I'm satisfied. I don't see myself returning any time soon, I would like to try out other indochinese places in the area but this is a good option if you're craving good indochinese food. read more

My most favorite Indo-Chinese restaurant. (Note: if you're unfamiliar with Indo-Chinese cuisine and has never tried it, do not look further) The inside of this restaurant is pretty spacious and welcoming. Really good for large groups with reservations of course. I have always experienced great service from the folks here; may it be dine in or pick up. Sweet Corn chicken soup, Chili lamb fry are my favorite appetizers. Love their Hakka noodles , Singapore noodles, Szechuan noodles/fried rice , chicken manchurian. The list goes on. read more

Coming from an Indo-Chinese background, all the flavors of the food we got here hit so close to home. I enjoyed each and every delectable bite. I chose to order thru their online system and opted for takeout. If you order online, they have some combo options which offer a bit of discount rather than if you got the items ala carte. Their combos include 1 choice of appetizer, 2 soups of the same choice, and 2 entrees of your choosing. Prices for the combo depends if you get vegetarian, chicken, or the shrimp: $41 for vegetarian, $47 for chicken, $52 for shrimp. I did the vegetarian combo and chose an appetizer of burnt chili tofu, two manchow soups, a veg szechuan noodles, and veg manchurian. You also get to choose your spice level - I chose very spicy. It was enough to get me sweating but I absolutely loved it. Portion wise I was pleasantly surprised - they were pretty generous in the portions and their to-go containers had good depth to them. I expected the appetizer to be tiny but man was I wrong - there was enough in there to almost be considered an entrée itself. We weren't able to finish everything in one go so ended up with plenty for leftovers. As mentioned in the beginning, the flavors of all the dishes were on point. All the dishes use copious amounts of garlic to stir fry which you can definitely taste and I absolutely loved it. Needless to say, we were completely satisfied. If you haven't experienced Indo-Chinese cuisine then you've been missing out. I totally recommend giving this place a try. read more

This indo nchinese fusion was amazing. My brother and I had the hot and sour soup, the chili chicken, the shrimp fried rice, and the fish in garlic sauce.

The food is alright. Not bad. The customer service is nice tho. It doesn't taste authentic but it's still nice. They're trying. Kinda pricy tho. Side note: check your bill at the end. Saw on there a weird 8.5% added on our bill. Asked what it was and was told it was a service tax... just wonder why they didn't just say that on the bill.... Very shady and will check with the better business bureau to see if that is allowed.. read more

The food here is fantastic! This restaurant serves indo-chinese dishes also known as Hakka food. Not many places in the Triangle have this style of cuisine making this a unique experience. Delicious south asian spicy chili and curry dishes with East Asian styled rice and noodles. Highly recommend any of the spicy chili variants, I had the cauliflower and lamb which were delicious. As was the Singapore noodles. Cocktails were made well with a good mix of alcohol content. Service was great, timely and attentive. Ambiance could be improved on as there was no background music or anything on the 4 TV screens. But made for a good family/big group environment to talk freely and plenty of space for small/bigger groups. Will be going here again! read more

When our friends told us about this place, hearing the okay to bad reviews, I wasn't sure if I should order from here or not !! So finally they were celebrating their half year half off discount .. so We decided to give this place a try .. I made online payments and the pick up was supposed to be at 1.05 pm I went there and just waited with a room full of angry/irritated customers for over an hour where no was updating us on the orders but they seemed to be accepting more orders !! They were obviously overwhelmed and highly Mismanaged .. Even though the food was really good (3 stars purely for the food) I don't think they are fit to run a restaurant .. also looked like with the price being half off the quantity of food was too So for good food you are willing to be patient and overlook a bad service experience this is the place to go read more

Went in here with a group of friends since we were craving some good indo chinese. Really good food options. Most of the dishes were delicious. The chicken dumplings, however, were subpar. Loved the crispy chilly potatoes. We also ordered the manchow soup, chilli fish, burnt garlic fried rice and hakka noodles to name a few. All of which were really food except that the chicken in the noodles could have been more tender and less chewy. Topped it off with the warm brownie sundae which was delicious! Would return to try other items! read more

You MUST eat here! The Indian/Asian fusion is masterful. All of their sauces are house made, even the soy sauce is doctored ! It was so good we had to ask where they got it from!

Every layer of these two dishes were delicious! We recommend getting the noodles with extra veggies!! We will be back, and often!! read more

We've been here five times so far and each time was fantastic. The place looks really nice and fancy, but there are lots of kids and the staff is always extremely nice and attentive so it feels really comfortable. The food was always amazing. We are in love with the manchurian cauliflower especially. The burnt garlic tofu is also fantastic. There is a kids menu too. The prices are totally fair considering how great the food is and the large portions. Love this place! read more

The food here is really good if you like Indo-Chinese. The only reason I gave it a 4 was because I didn't like one of my dishes for the first time. Service is great and ambiance is also. Staff is very friendly. Get the WOF burnt garlic tofu appetizer! It's soooo good. Of note the medium is pretty spicy so caution when ordering hot. Only thing I wish they had was a fresh lime soda drink option :) read more

Not really Chinese food. More Indian. Not very tasty. Restaurant empty when we were there. Not a good sign.

We came in expecting this to be a Chinese restaurant as it used to be. After looking at the menu we were confused. The waiter came over and explained the concept of Indo Chinese. He was very patient as we discussed weather we should find another place. At last we decided to stay, the waiter explained what spicy level to choose from and made good recommendations from the menu. Our adventure turned out to be a really pleasant dining experience. The food was surprisingly good, and the beer was amazing! The waiter also told us the story about the beer! Fantastic service, great food! read more

Good: Food is good here. Bad: Food order takes lot of time Ugly: Staff will be waiting to argue with customers to vent out their frustration. I think by far this was the worst establishment in the entire United states where I had such a bad experience. Updated after owner comments: Alright I did not want to go in detail but since owner posted the narrative. This is what happened my end. We went in lunch time ordered the food. Like I said before food was good. We decided to order one more dish which took long time to get prepared. After waiting with no food in sight, we decided to just pay and leave and the staff said here is your order while we were walking out. I asked to cancel the order. I was expecting ' no sir we can't cancel' instead the staff said. ' what should I do with this ? I said "keep it" and their response was "you can't talk like that. this is not a McDonald's where you can just say keep the food. It takes 40 minutes to make the food". He was talking in the same lines for next few minutes. I think other tables can vouch for the tone he was talking those things. I could have been more argumentative to his comments but instead kept my calm and paid the bill and came out. I think the argument itself was unwarranted for. Either you cancel the order or you don't cancel the order and charge for it. To the owner I would like to say that , I think the staffs outburst was unwarranted. That's not how you treat your customers. He could have just said sorry I can't cancel the order and that would have been the end of it but the staff wanted to teach me a lesson seems like for asking to cancel the order. You go to any decent restaurant out there and play the same scenario , the waiter would either say "sorry for the delay sure I will cancel the order" OR "sorry for the delay but we can't cancel the order as it's ready now" and charge for it and that's it, that's the end of it. Anyway I thought I was just a scapegoat for the person's frustration that day. Maybe some other customer some other day. read more

Ordered 3 dishes with medium spice level, but they all were super spicy. We can handle good spice but this was way too much.

Came by here on Friday for lunch. This place is where Szechuan Heat used to be. The food is Indo Chinese cuisine and definitely packs some spices! We came in around 11:45am and got seated right away. I ordered the Onion Chicken. It came with a spicy hot soup. This soup was amazing. It definitely has a kick but was great on a cold day. It was spicy but you wanted to keep eating it. The Onion Chicken was served with a healthy serving of fried rice, some cabbage in sweet Asian sauce and an egg roll. The Onion Chicken was quiet tender and juicy and the fries rice soaked up the sauce nicely. Overall, this is a solid place for some Indo Chinese cuisine. read more
