    House special lo mein
    Michael R.

    The Ocean Wok is back, as "Wok the WOK". We understand the original owners have returned in an attempt to restore the caliber of the food and dining experience at this long running restaurant offering Chinese American fare on Hampton Beach. We've gone to Ocean Wok over the years and found our favorites on the menu, including the standout "Mai Tai" cocktails. Over the years, things have slid downhill a bit, and I had high hopes for this reboot. Service as usual is fast and efficient. The menu looks pared back quite a bit, as we were looking for certain dishes, no longer offered. Our dishes were all hot and tasty, but nothing was exceptional. It's hard to compare to some of the Chinese restaurants in bigger cities like Boston, NY or San Francisco, as the menu and dishes are adjusted to please the local palate. With that in mind, I think this restaurant does a good job. If you are visiting Hampton Beach and don't want the usual fried dough, pizza and other fast food, this is a far better and enjoyable option.

    This review is long overdue -- it was the hot & sour soup that pushed me over the edge. I typically…read morejudge Chinese restaurants based on the quality of their eggrolls; if they pass the first test, I might venture so far as to test their hot & sour soup, and I can't believe I waited this long to do so. The broth was rich and thick (but not gummy or gelatinous), and layered with flavor -- that alone is enough to keep me coming back. But then they went on to add all the requisite ingredients that make it so delicious -- tofu, pork, wood ear, mushrooms, bamboo shoots. Truly, one of the best renditions I've ever had, and I've even made it myself. Here's what else they can do: 1. The BEST lo mein in the area -- no joke. Flat, linguine-style noodles, veggies, and your choice of meat (the roast pork is excellent, but I usually go for the house special, which has chicken, pork, beef, and a generous amount of shrimp). I could seriously eat this every day. I'm skeptical of this dish at other establishments, having been let down on multiple occasions by limp, greasy noodles and not much else. The Wok Express lo mein is a meal in and of itself. 2. The eggs rolls are darned good. Tightly rolled, golden brown -- a little greasy, but isn't that why we're here? You can order a single egg roll, but why do that to yourself? 3. Moo shu. I had it tonight for the first time, and it did not disappoint. The wrappers were a little thinner than I'm used to, but they held their own. They pack the moo shu (and lo mein) so tightly into the container that you can eat half, come back the next day, and it's filled to the top again. 4. Shrimp with garlic sauce. I typically don't venture into seafood at Chinese restaurants until they have proven themselves in other ways. I order the shrimp with garlic sauce about a year ago for the first time, and now it's a favorite. The shrimp are very large, plump, and perfectly cooked, served in a savory sauce with a little bit of a kick and lots of fresh veggies. 5. Dinner combinations. I'm not going to lie; I used to patronize another local restaurant for takeout, but whenever I was alone and craving Chinese, I'd either have to have it for lunch or get a single dish and some rice. This place has lunch specials, but they also have dinner combinations, which means you can get a few different things regardless of the time of day. It also make sharing easy -- for four people, you can easily get away with three combos, and have a virtual smorgasbord of choices. Not bad for under $30. I could go on, but you really should try it for yourself. If you live in Boston or New York or San Francisco, you might not agree with me, but on a snowy winter night, I can get there and back in 12 minutes, perfectly content to spend a night in.

The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. As soon as we arrived, she treated us to four complimentary vegetable spring rolls, which were absolutely delicious. We ordered the Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and Papaya Salad. All three dishes were outstanding--full of flavor, perfectly seasoned, and very close to the authentic local taste we experienced while eating in Bangkok. The restaurant itself has a warm, cozy atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable right away. We will definitely be coming back to try more dishes from the menu. If you're looking for authentic and delicious Thai food, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

    It arrived like a confident, no‑fuss plate: a glossy tangle of noodles threaded with plump shrimp…read moreand thin ribbons of chicken, bright slivers of carrot and cabbage, and a scatter of bean sprouts and crushed peanuts that promised texture before the first forkful. The sauce is a warm, soy‑brown sheen rather than a syrupy glaze, which tells you the cook favored balance over theatrics; the vegetables still hold color, the shrimp look springy not puckered, and the proteins sit in the mix instead of hiding under a puddle of sugar. That visual honesty is already half the meal. On the palate it's a study in contrasts handled with restraint. The noodles have a slight chew that says they were finished in the wok, not boiled to oblivion; the shrimp and chicken show quick sear marks and keep a clean, saline sweetness; and the bean sprouts and peanuts deliver the bright, brittle punctuation every good stir‑fry needs. The sauce leans savory with a modest sweetness and a faint tang -- I'd bet on rice vinegar or tamarind playing quietly behind soy and a touch of palm sugar -- and it's used sparingly so each component still reads on its own instead of being smothered. Technique is obvious without being showy: a hot pan for that wok‑kiss, timed addition of the sprouts to preserve snap, and a final toss that glosses rather than drowns the noodles; there's no greasy residue, which means oil was measured and the pan was properly hot. This avoids the usual sins: limp noodles, cloying sweetness, and rubbery shrimp. My one small gripe is a missing bright note at the finish; a thin shave of citrus or an extra hit of acid would have sharpened the edges and made the whole thing sing louder, but that's a tweak, not a correction. What I appreciated most was the humility of the execution: no unnecessary garnishes, no gimmicks trying to outshine the basics, just clear attention to temperature, timing, and texture. It's the kind of plate that makes you relax into the meal and then quietly judge the rest of the menu by whether the kitchen can keep this level of craft -- honest, balanced, and quietly excellent in a way that actually honors the technique behind it. If I'm looking for Thai in New Hampshire I would definitely come back here. They had a large menu of items that all looked really good!
