    Very pretty establishment both indoor and outdoor and good customer service but I did notttttrt like the food at all. I got fried rice, spring rolls, and a honey shrimp. The shrimp had a weird aftertaste and the spring roll and rice both tasted so mediocre. Like worse than mall Chinese food. Yet the prices reflect a more authentic taste.

    Wokstar is such a cute and aesthetic spot! The food was so good--the chili wontons were definitely a favorite, and the General Chicken was yummy. Already added to my list of favorite restaurants!

    You can watch how they prepare dumplings!

    Loved the theme of being in side a recording studio - microphone pendant lights above the table, walls that look like a recording studio. Having a place to get Chinese dumplings is a huge differentiator, as my girlfriend will make me drive great distances for them. We had the dumpling sampler, Dan Dan Noodles, and the Hot Garlic Pork. The staff was proud of the lobster dumplings but we thought the chicken dumplings edged them out. Hot Garlic Pork turned out to be the real winner.

    We had the chance to attend a pre-opening event at Wokstar in West Village, and it was a fantastic first impression. Our table tried the orange chicken, lettuce wraps, fried cauliflower, crab rangoon, and the Starboy cocktail. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The orange chicken was a standout for sure! What stood out most was the service. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and seemed genuinely excited to be there. The atmosphere is fun without feeling over the top--stylish, energetic, and comfortable enough that you find yourself ordering another cocktail and staying longer than planned. For a restaurant that hasn't officially opened yet, Wokstar already feels polished and well-executed. It's a great addition to West Village, and I'm looking forward to coming back once they're officially open.

    Service was horrible and we were waiting around for hours for our food. Food was also very mid Wouldn't recommend.

    All the dumplings were amazing!! I'm so glad my friend and I stumbled on this place accidentally. We enjoyed a nice meal and got to visit while being surrounded by the warm and inviting atmosphere that Wokstar has to offer. The server was friendly and the manager even stopped by our table just to see how we were enjoying everything. The vibes are so cool and now that I've found the place I know I'll be back.

    Super cool new addition to the West Village. Atmosphere was stylish yet laid back, perfect as a chill lunch spot or a special night out. Our server Natalia was very warm and attentive, and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! This place is already exceeding expectations and is an absolute must-stop.

    Had a great night at Wokstar with Quincy as our waitress! The chili wontons were so good, I ordered two! The aesthetic in here is top tier and I love the overall vibe. I especially appreciated that the music wasn't too loud.

    Fix your operations, on a Tuesday evening it was a disaster. Service and kitchen were so slow I watched a table get up and leave.

    A solid 3.5/5. Some happy hour items and the lunch special was a good deal!…read more We started off with the Chili Wontons which were okay and the Xiao Long Baos which was very good-lots of broth within. We got the lunch specials: Egg Drop Soup and Hot & Sour Soup-both were good! The General Tsao Chicken was solid. We got it with the side of Fried Rice and the Fried Rice was flavorless plus the Fried Spring Roll was nothing special. The Mapo Tofu with Minced Pork was good, but very salty. Needed to pair it with lots of steamed white rice to balance it out. We also had the half duck with buns. The duck was okay too, nothing crazy/special to it. Food was alright! The guy bartender was super chill and easy to talk to. The ambiance was also chill and moody as well. Would be opened to come back during happy hour/lunch time.

It wasn't busy. - I noticed the Red Bull rep chatting it up for what seemed like forever with the bartenders while nobody was asking us for drinks. - About 10 mins later we were asked "do you want anything?" Well, yes, we do..... that's why we came to a restaurant. - After we ordered, the GM (female) was hanging out for quite some time with 7-8 other employees at the bar while I was trying to flag someone down and get a fork (took much more time than it should have). - GM was frequently standing at the end of the bar, just texting rather than paying attention to the multiple needs of the customers sitting right in front of her. While the food was great, the service was TERRIBLE and we won't be back. From the GM to the bartenders, nobody cared. Nobody even thanked us upon leaving. There's no excuse for expecting kindness and awareness when one is out to dinner, this restaurant made us feel unimportant and unappreciated. I don't foresee this restaurant lasting much longer, it's a competitive world and there's so many other awesome restaurants.

Between the four of us we ordered the roti canai -- with an extra piece of roti, since the base only comes with two, roti murtabak, two orders of the pork belly baos, chili crisp cucumbers, nasi lemak, beef haw fun, and bò tái chanh -- Vietnamese rare beef salad. Overall, the food was outstanding. I feel like the restaurant took all the greatest hits from every Asian culture and put them together on the menu. My favorite dish of the night was a toss up between the rare beef salad, the roti, and the pork belly baos. I loved how crispy and flaky the roti was and the curry dipping sauce that it was paired with was super aromatic, nutty, and rich. The pork belly in the baos was incredibly tender, well-marinated, and had a nice balance between lean and fatty parts. If you enjoy sour dishes, you will love the rare beef salad: there is enough lime in the dish to make you pucker. Every bite is a concentrated punch of flavors, and there is a nice variety of texture between the chopped peanuts, thinly sliced onions, rare beef, and crispy rice cracker. If you're in this part of town looking for a dinner spot, I would not hesitate to recommend Hawkers Asian Street Food. In addition to the solid food menu, the service and drinks were equally spectacular.

It was one of my…read morefavorite restaurants growing up, so when I recently visited home in DFW, I had to go back. And wow, the taste is the exact same. The decor is the exact same. The people are the exact same. It was truly a feeling of nostalgia that's hard to describe. My favorite dish has always been, and still is, the bamboo shoots with pork. It is so fragrant, umami, and simply delicious. The west lake soup is also a classic done so well - pro tip to add white pepper to give it a little kick. The steamed pork belly was okay - sauce is flavorful (a touch salty) along with the preserved greens but the pork wasn't as tender as I had remembered it. The fish filets are fried to perfection, full of salt/pepper flavor, and pairs well with the jalapeños. If you don't like fish, you can get the same flavor with the pork version of this dish, which I also really like. The service can be a little slow because it's just 1 chef and 1 waitress who own the restaurant - same people that have run the show since I first came here probably almost 30 years ago! Incredible to see them still working so hard and serving delicious food. They'll never know how much their restaurant and food means to me!

Great flavor and the pork didn't have that weird pork taste some Asian places have. The crispy smoked duck pancake was awesome and worth the steeper price. I wasn't a fan of the sauce alone, but in the pancake was excellent. The eggroll was a decent eggroll and the duck sauce that came with it was the best sauce I've had with an eggroll. The lady working was sweet and was working her butt off with the 5 tables she had. Felt great to support a local business. The restaurant itself is out dated but the tables and utensils were clean. The atmosphere added to the experience and the background music was just perfection.

    **This review is based on a Sunday evening to-go order.**…read more While these folks were polite on the phone and in-person -- and the restaurant was bright and clean when I came in to pick up my order -- I cannot recommend this place. First, I ordered the Chinese Fried Chicken (half), which is supposed to be brined in soy and hoisin, then deep fried in a light batter. This chicken was no more brined than a rock in the desert, and it was just as dry, even the dark meat pieces. The steamed rice was fine, as was the beautiful bok choy. The dish, overall was a huge disappointment. The chicken lo mein was also a letdown, as it had an underlying sweetness that I've never experienced with this dish. Two bites were taken and it (along with the chicken) ended up in the hotel trash can. A couple of positives: I enjoyed the hot & sour soup, and the egg rolls tasted as if they were rolled in-house, which is a rarity these days. I live a few hundred miles down the road and don't get to downtown Dallas very often, so the odds of me patronizing this place again is already slim. But, in the event I find myself here in the future, I will avoid this restaurant.
