I stumbled upon Wokworks when in Fishtown and it was a cool open window restaurant. You order at the window and there is seating along the curb! Took less than 10 minutes for my order to be ready and it was pretty delicious! They ask you if you want light, regular, or extra sauce, which I thought was nice! The cold cucumbers were so crunchy! Great little spot for a bite to eat! A little pricey, but that's to be expected in the city! read more

I use to eat here a lot, and I truly loved it. I don't think it's bad, I actually think the food is quite tasty! I think what has turned me off is that we got completely different meals and they taste very similar in flavor profile. So that tells me they are just recycling base sauces and switching up the toppings to create these bowls. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with this. I just think I will try to get something vastly different next time to try a different base sauce. read more

Stopped by here because we wanted to grab some sides to eat. We ordered the spring rolls and the wings (naked with sauce on the side). Both were soooo good. The wings were super crispy and the spring rolls were so tasty. read more

This place caught our attention after attempting to go to multiple restaurants in the surrounding area but being unable to go due to requiring reservations only for large parties or long waits. We thought that we'd quickly get take out and bring it back to eat. Oh boy were we wrong. Our group had multiple separate orders that we all placed online through their QR code. We had to come up to the counter to ask as 15+ mins had passed and no one had gotten their orders yet. They send an email rather than call our your name when your order's done. They only started calling out names after we had to keep asking about our orders. Our orders started slowly trickling out one by one, but three of the people in our group had to wait 1+ hours for our orders. We kept asking and they'd keep saying that it wasn't ready and still being processed. We then found out that they forgot about our orders as they had our bags placed under other orders. I think they might need to revamp their whole ordering queue/process to be more efficient so they don't miss orders in the future. Anyways, we ended up getting our order after waiting for so long. They did give us two free desserts as compensation but I think next time, I would probably just skip out on this place. Flavor was better than I expected, prices are a bit high for what you get, and the wait and whole ordering process was a mess. read more

I always forget that's this is a quick food option when finding takeout. Each of the two times I patronized it just happens to be that I'm on Frankford and looking to kill two birds with one stone. As such I've order two different meals, the service is patient and quick. They offer outside seating and ordering. The food is okay and they offer decently healthy options but I've had better stir fry foods but I've never been unsatisfied. read more

This is for a delivery order via DoorDash. I love Honeygrow but I feel Wokworks has more options, plus you can customize. It was nice to have a Wokworks on Ridge in ShopRite, but they messed up the order one too many times. However this spot hits the spot every time! Just lost a star because the sauce for the chicken wings was a little too salty. read more

Wokworks - Korean Fried Wings Veg Crispy Spring Rolls Dan Dan Chicken Lo Mein - Asian Fusion Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The food was amazing, so much so that I went home and tried to duplicate the dish. Not sure why they are called banana chocolate wonton, I liked the banana wontons, it wasn't too sweet. The peach tea was very good, I like the fact that it wasn't super sweet like most drinks nowadays. The lady that took my order was very pleasant as well as helpful. From what I see there is no eat in option only an order/pick up option. There's a menu on the wall to the left as well as a QRC scan bar, very convenient. read more

Take out spot in Philly open late night that was easy to order with short wait time. Reminded me of a food truck with two pink tables outside to eat. Expectations were low but the drunken noodles dish was delicious- crunchy broccoli, spiced noodles and juicy shrimp. At the bottom of the bowl, the sauce had a little off taste, it wasn't as spicy as I'm use to, but you can customize sauce levels and spice beforehand. Definitely recommend for a quick/late night bite. Place appeared clean. read more

Wokworks - Drunken Noodles - Asian Fusion Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Downgrading to a 3 star due to my extreme reaction , and the same thing that other diners mention --and no contact from the manager :( I so wanted to go back here . And so I have . And it's happened ever . Single . Time . I won't fall for it again , but just a shame because it's so good going down . If it were just me , I would say it was just a sensitive stomach , but I don't usually have this reaction, there is a literal shit -ton of oil at the bottom of the bowl when I finish , and many other reviews mention it to no Avail . A shame because it doesn't need anywhere near this amount of whatever oil they are drenching it to retain its flavors and textures . read more

Decent asian takeout food. We got the Drunken Noodles and Pad See Ew. They were really oily, but that was expected because they had spicy chili oil. It was a little bit too greasy for me, and the food didn't sit right in my stomach. Neither noodle dishes were that spicy. I have a low spice tolerance, and even I thought they weren't spicy at all. The shrimp in the Drunken Noodles were tender, and the chicken wasn't as tough as expected. Between the two, I liked the Drunken Noodles better because the sauce wasn't as strong. Wouldn't come out of my way for this, but if I was in the area and really wanted asian food, this would be a quick and convenient fix. I appreciate them using paper-based takeout containers and paper bags. The lid of the containers is still plastic and they offer plastic forks, but still better than an all plastic container. read more

Horrible. Got this for dinner on Sunday (Dan Dan Chicken Lo Mein) and have had severe food poisoning the rest of the week. Severe stomach cramps and cannot retain any food/liquid. DO NOT EAT HERE!!! This place should be shut down. read more

Wokworks in Fishtown never misses. The drunken noodles bowl is unreal -- packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and honestly addictive. The build-your-own bowl option is super clutch too; you can customize exactly what you want every time and it always hits. Portion sizes are generous, the service is fast, and the whole place has great vibes. Friendly staff, good music, and just an all-around solid experience every visit. Definitely one of my go-to spots in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Wokworks has a variety of rice and noodle dishes to choose from. The one in Fishtown has a walk up window but it's best to order ahead as orders can get backed up. If there is a bowl that you see you don't like you can build your own. If you are unsure their premade bowls are great packed with ingredients and great flavor. I got their chili garlic chicken I could not stop eating this it was that good. I also got their crispy spring rolls. These were delicious as well. Wokworks makes it very easy to order and I have no doubt what you order will be very delicious. read more

Hands down, my favorite place for take out in the city! Wokworks is my go-to when I don't feel like cooking, because they offer large portions that are packed with fresh, quality ingredients. Their BYO Bowl option allows me to try different varieties which keeps me coming back! Their sauces are the cherry on top. My usual combination is Chili Garlic, Honey Garlic, and Szechuan Chili Oil to add the perfect kick that's not too spicy. The staff provides genuine customer service, always finding a way to connect with the customer, despite only offering delivery and pick-up services. Not only am I hooked on ordering Wokworks, but I got my friends hooked on it too! This spot is definitely a local gem that I highly recommend. read more

This was my first time eating wokworks and overall I enjoyed it. The general Tsos stir fry bowl was flavorful and plateful. I do wish there were more general tsos sauce, but I still really enjoyed it. I loved snacking on the crispy wonton chips throughout my meal! The crispy spring rolls were yummy and both the sauces for the spring rolls and the wonton chips were plentiful! The only item I did not really enjoy were the crispy vegetable dumplings. They were cooked well, but personally I did not like the flavor and would not order again. What I really enjoyed about the meal was there was plenty for leftovers, and even when I was finished it was not a heavy meal! I would definitely consider eating here again read more

Been coming here for a while. Last straw with the customer service. Got in line at 10:45 behind a couple when they close at 11. Refused to take my order at 10:50 after waiting in line for 5 min behind one couple that didn't know what they wanted and were allowed to put their order in. A takeout window that refuses to take orders before there posted time is wild. Especially since we were the only two patrons trying to order Always had sub par customer service here as they are usually pretty rude in general but many better places to patron if your gonna pay 15-17 dollars for a single noodle bowl read more

As a student, there was Wokworks truck near me but I never had the chance to try it. When I lived in the Manayunk area, I never tried the Wokworks in the Shoprite. Now there's a Wokworks near my new home in Fishtown and I made a stance that I need to try it! First of all, the meat is halal. Win, win. The prices are great, typically $11-14 a bowl. I tried the Chili Garlic chicken! I am so glad the chicken was grilled breast as this is a healthier option. The bowls aren't drowning in sauce neither. There is ample veggies and meat accompanied by rice. I'd love to try the noodles next. Our online order was ready quickly and the window store front style is very unique! Dropping a star because both of us had a stomachache 30 minutes after eating it, although super impressed by the food. Can't 100% pinpoint the stomachache to Wokworks but it seems most probable. Nevertheless, this will be our go to spot for a quick lunch or dinner! Ramadan is coming up and this is perfect for iftaar, great flavors and nutritionally dense! read more

Easy take out option with window ordering. The food took about 15 mins to be ready. The drunken noodles tasted pretty good however they were very oily. It wasn't your typical Thai style of drunken noodles but it wasn't bad either. Comes with chicken and shrimp. The general tso chicken they also took their own spin on. They do but use fried chicken, but a grilled chicken with sauce and sesame, broccoli and rice. Decent portions, both came out to about $30. read more

Wokworks - Drunken noodles on top and general tso on bottom - Asian Fusion Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The best execution of the "diy stir fry bowl" that I've ever seen. Ordering on their website is super easy and the people at the pickup window are lovely. Got a bowl of their HK thin noodles with general Tso & veg. Noodles had a great chew and a bit of wok chat. I also got their fried noodle strips with each of their sauces as a dip. Y'all. Easily the best munchie food in any category. Super freshly fried too. Really wish they had a NYC location; this is a place I'll hit up every time I'm here. read more

Whenever I am in rush and need a quick but filling delicious Asian food, this is my go to place. I like to build my own noodles with chicken and lots of veggies with spicy sauce. The food and flavors are always consistent. The only complaint I have is about the amount of oil that comes in the food so I make sure I always mention in my order less oil and that has helped. The food is quick to pick. They also started to share place with the Mexican place across the street, so now you could also order in and eat across the street and enjoy the weather. read more

If you're asian, you probably won't like this place. wildly unflavorful and just very oily dishes. noodles and oil pretty much garnished with green onions read more

Fresh, fast and opened late this is a good option in a pinch. That being said the flavors of the sauce get a little muddled from the char grilling which was a little overdone. Would like a little less char and more flavor to shine through. read more

I was really excited to try this place out but I felt the drunken noodles were way too oily. My stomach was not very happy afterwards.

It was our first time here, My partner and I were standing outside looking at the menu getting ready to order. A man was smoking pretty close to the window where you order your food, close enough the cigarette smoke was blowing into us- turns out he's the cook. We watched him proceed to go right back inside to the line and handle orders without washing his hands or putting on gloves. We changed our minds about ordering. read more

This place is a gem, yummy yummy in my tummy every time. Wish I lived just a hair closer or it'd b in the weekly rotation. I don't normally write reviews but saw the lack of praise these guys deserve and felt the need to give kudos read more

This is a walk up/take out only business, which is great utilization of the smaller space. That said, the wait times at walk up are always about 25-30 minutes every time I've gone. The food was pretty good, but it was a bit more expensive than I was hoping for the quality/amount you got. The rice dishes are definitely better than the noodle dishes IMO. It was good in a pinch, but I don't think it will be a regular spot for me. read more

In a phrase, "It's not giving". My Veggie Lo Mein was saturated and smelled of heavy red onion. Who puts red onions in a lo mein. If you have a hankering for noodles just hit your local Chinese restaurant. 100% guaranteed to be better. read more

The location in North Philly has the best freshest ingredients in the city. Just please add more sauce. Thanks

I went here recently and they got my order wrong despite not being super busy. The chicken is dry and the sauce tastes overly salty. I used to get their food frequently from their food truck at CHOP but it seems the quality has gone down quite a bit since then and there isn't consistency across locations. Will probably stick to other fast casual options in the future. read more

It's a hit or miss for me. I always order online. Half the time they don't receive the order so I have to wait longer for the food. Placed the order today and the place smelled like the staff didn't bathe. I walked in wanting to leave the food I ordered there. That's how bad it smelled. read more

Really loved the city trucks so had to give the new spot a try. It's really tough if you're allergic to nuts, like me, drastically limits your options. The lady at the counter was super friendly. Tofu was fried and okay. You get a lot of food in the bowls. I added the spring rolls and dumplings which were just okay but the sauces help. Noodle bowl was a bit oily but overall a good experience. We'll be back! read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. You can throw a dart at the menu and be absolutely satisfied with what you get. Aside from the outstanding quality, it has an excellent price point to match. You're looking at $11-$15 for anything on the menu. Some of my favorites are the Pad see Yew, Dry pepper steak, and the Dan Dan noodles. I hope this place never closes down. Best affordable to-go food in fishtown. read more
