I haven't had Chinese Indian food for awhile and Indian Wok has been on my list for awhile. Apparently B has never been to this kind of restaurant. We originally wanted to go to a different restaurant but it was closed. So we ended here. We sat down and first thing I noticed on the menu was no naan. B thought this was a Chinese restaurant and he was confused why there would be naan. The server told us that they do have naan but its not made inhouse. So instead we decided to skip it. We got the Manchurian chicken and Masala Chicken fried rice. Manchurian chicken is my go to when I dine at an Chinese Indian restaurant. I loved the Manchurian Chicken here. It was really good and the masala fried rice was spot on. Service was great. Decor is simple but nice, clean and relaxing. I feel like many of the customers here are regulars. Portion size was good and on top, we had left over for next day. I highly recommend this place. Prices were reasonable too. read more

This was my first time having Indian style Chinese food so I am definitely not the best person to judge! If I compared it to regular Chinese food (which seemed to be most of the menu) I would say the chow mein might have lacked alittle flavour for me, but ALSO, I usually have mine with meat so that probably influenced the overall dishes (my friend is vegan). You'll find plenty of vegan/vegetarian options here! *My favourite was the Manchurian and green beans! The Manchurian was like a veggie pakora with a sauce that had the same consistency as like... sweet and sour sauce?? But diff taste. *owner was very bubbly, nice and attentive! Store is alittle outdated though.. read more

This is our favourite take-out spot for Indo Chinese food in Burnaby. Calcutta hakka noodles, hot & sour soup, chilli garlic chicken dumplings are our family favourites. Glad they've introduced some combo meals like fried rice & Manchurian. They're delicious and you get a decent portion without getting the full size. 10/ 10 recommend this place for takeout! read more

Great food that brings back memories of Indo chinese food I had in Kolkata India. The noodles are typically the Hakka chowmein one will find in any Kolkata chinese restaurant. Chili Chicken Dry and Manchurian Veg is made to perfection that suits our palate. Love their service as well. My fav best place for Indo-Chinese Food! read more

Great people, great food! Always willing to make something for you! wish they were closer to our house!

We're long-time customers of Green Lettuce and Chili Pepper, but I had never tried this place, as it's a little far out from where we live. But we decided to finally give them a try, and they're as good as the aforementioned two places. If you like hakka / Indo-Chinese cuisine, this place is a must try. We ordered 3 dishes, which were ready 20 minutes after having phoned in our order. -Szechuan Green Beans & Broccoli ($14.95 plus tax). Gently spicy, with a generous portion of green beans and broccoli, nicely garlicy. The vegetables are cooked perfectly and the flavours are suitable assertive. Excellent dish. 5/5 -Tofu & Eggplant with Black Bean Sauce ($15.99 plus tax). Generous portion of tofu and eggplant, perfectly cooked, with a suitable assertive black bean sauce that is not too over the top, yet it coats everything with the right amount of flavour intensity. Excellent. 5/5 -Vegetarian Hakka Chow Mein ($13.95 plus tax). I think of all the hakka restaurants around here, this is my favourite noodle dish I've tried. Moderately thin noodles, smothered in a soy sauce-based sauce, with crunchy cabbage and carrot. Simple, but perfectly done. 5/5 We loved everything here and will definitely be back when we're in the area. Highly recommended. read more

Food was great once again, nothing disappointed us. My family and I enjoyed their dishes earlier today and everything was just SPOT ON, thank you again Indian Wok with your amazing dishes. I noticed few changes of wifi and the parking lot, but figured it out in the end (see my photos!). Anyways everything was tasty. Staff was helpful and service was fast. I can't wait to go back here again! read more

This place is a must try for all indo Chinese food lovers. Fried rice is not that good but try schezwan noodles and chili chicken or momos. Must try: Chili Chicken Garlic chili momos Schezwaan chicken noodles read more

Ahh..how I wish I found this place earlier! Not too far from Metrotown, this Indo-Chinese restaurant offers very unique and delicious food at a reasonable price. There's a ton of variety, even for vegetarians! :) The owners and staff are really friendly and sweet too! When we ordered the vegetable Manchurian noodles, the chef actually personally came out to ask if we were okay with the spice level before cooking. *Vegetarian Manchurian Noodles - this is my personal fave. I didn't find it to be very spicy and the noodles were really flavourful. I love finding good vegetarian food so this dish made me very happy :D *Masala Prawns - also another tasty dish with delicious spices! Wasn't too fried which was a plus! We also ordered two other dishes but because I'm writing this review late, I can't recall the dish names anymore. But, all the dishes were great! Would def come back for more :) read more

The food is sooo delicious and the service is personal and prompt. If you love the combination of Indian and Chinese foods you will love this little place. The ambience is a little lacking but the food and the service make up for it. read more

I've been craving for Indo-Chinese food (Also known as Hakka Cuisine) since I came to Vancouver. I was excited to try this place. I ordered Chicken Manchurian, Szechuan Chicken, Veg fried rice & Chicken Noodles. Honestly I was expecting the food to be mediocre as this was one of the very few restaurants that serves this kinda food and there's no competition in the city (I do not count Green Lettuce. That place is a joke). I was WRONG. The food was delicious. The Manchurian was very flavorful & the Schezwan had a nice zing to it. Fried rice was good. Its not the regular fried rice you get at Chinese places. This is made with Basmati rice. So its very fluffy and has a nice aroma. The Noodles were good. A bit greasy, but in a good way. Definitely worth a visit. Food - Good Service - Ok Ambiance - Place looks Clean Worth the money - Yup read more

You can say I came here not by choice, but I'm glad I did. I was lining up for Boiling Point, and it was going to be a good hour before we got seated. Beside it, there's a small restaurant with an unimpressive storefront. I looked up the reviews and they were pretty favorable so I decided to give this place a try. [SERVICE] After being seated immediately (it wasn't very busy at dinner time), we took a look at the menu. By first impression, the dishes were a little pricey - $13-$15 dollar range per dish. I also did not know what to expect since Indian-style Chinese cuisine can go very wrong if done badly. Since it's a family-owned business, the owner came by and gave us a few recommendations, which helped us greatly since we weren't sure what to order. The owner is very personable, and told us about the inspiration for this place. She has a Chinese background and was brought up in India, hence the incorporation of both cultures in her cuisine. What impressed me even more was that they served BOTH water and tea. Usually, it would be awkward to ask for both, but here we got both without even asking. [FOOD] We went for these three: - Masala fish - Beef with Spicy Eggplant and Green Beans - Chicken Manchurian Rice The menu leans towards Chinese cuisine rather than Indian, but they definitely incorporate the Indian herbs and condiments for a unique touch. The crispy fried masala fish on a bed of chopped onions is definitely something I've never had. The beef with spicy eggplant and green beans is my favorite. I've ordered green beans and eggplant at restaurants before, and they've been under-cooked, under-seasoned or overly oily. However, this dish is very well done at this restaurant! The chicken Manchurian rice also blended well with the two other dishes. It's more toned down than the palate-stimulating dishes but still maintained the savoriness level. [PRICE] For the quality of the food, I'm definitely willing to pay the price. [OVERALL] Don't pass up this place just because of the unimpressive storefront! read more

A lovely improvement. The eggplant was sliced thinly enough to be cooked through properly. The sauce for their Gobi Manchurian is excellent. The Gobi itself was delicious. The tofu was stirfried which I much prefer for the taste and texture instead of deep fried like most places do out of convenience. Vegetable fried noodles were much too wet, resulting in soggy noodles instead of crispy. Also didn't like the type of noodle used for its overly thick eggy texture. But I'm enthusiastic about working my way through the menu. read more

Love love love this place. Everything on the menu is fantastic! The owners are very kind and work in the shop every day. They one time gave us free chicken wings because they found out they had a bad batch, and they owned up to it and gave us new ones next time we came in to eat. The restaurant is small so you may want to consider take out if it's a busy night. Can not recommend this place enough! A must try. read more

We're big fans of Indian fusion, so we decided to try Indian Wok. We didn't realize that there's parking behind the restaurant, so we parked in the grocery store parking lot across the street. Of course, I don't recommend this. Look for parking behind the building instead. The restaurant is small and outdated, but I wasn't looking for fine dining when choosing to eat here. I just wanted good food. Not only did I get good food, but the service was great as well! Our server brought us water and tea as soon as we sat down. She even gave us a jug of water, even though there were only two of us. Despite her leaving the jug on the table for us, she came by regularly to fill our empty water glasses. We each ordered a small soup: I had the chicken wonton soup. The wonton's were good but the broth was a bit bland. I added some salt to mine. We also ordered the Manchurian Chicken, Chicken Hakka Chow Mein and a small order of white rice. I was glad we ordered rice as I found the Manchurian Chicken to be a bit spicy. The flavours were all good though and the portion sizes were fair. We were actually able to take some home to have for lunch the next day. Overall, good experience. We'll probably get take-out next time though as there is a discount on take-out orders. read more

Terrible garbage food, overprice, under portion, just speechless, look at the picture. Can't believe i paid $10.95 for this half container of way overcooked sautee broccoli? Where are the broccoli!

Came here recently with the girlfriend on the advice of a friend. He had insisted that they had THE best ginger beef in the city. Unfortunately that was not the case. We knew that this was an Indian-Chinese fusion restaurant and thus the food might have a different spin on it, so to speak. The dish that came out was spicy, but barely had any ginger taste to it. We ordered it medium and it was too hot for my liking. Further, the beef was not at all crispy. We were very disappointed. The restaurant was not even half full during our visit, and there were three waitresses working. With that in mind, the service was poor. We were seated quickly and brought drinks but after that it took awhile for someone to take our order. No one came to check on us, offer refills or take our plates away. It seemed like the other tables were getting much better service on account of having been there before. The GF was really excited to try their Mango Kulfi, but we didn't even get an opportunity to order it. Needless to say we won't be returning. read more

Great service!! Delicious food with good sized portions for the price. Must try their Manchurian (any dish). Will continue to come back here again and again! read more

Really nice South Asian/Indian Chinese food. We loved the soups and the noodle/rice options and had plenty of options as Vegetarians. The place is kinda small, and there's usually a wait but it's so worth it!! read more

First time but not the last. Service was great with information and advice regarding our choices. Friendly and felt like we really mattered. I noticed that when taking a telephone order, she customized it for them. Small room but clean and cozy. We got there just in time as it rapidly filled up Food was delicious. Pakoras had a light, non-greasy batter. Manchurian vegetable balls, chicken &veg chow mein plus a big bowl of steamed rice. The flavors were so good, I wanted to just keep eating but could not as I was full. Had half the food to take home. Yay Don't park in the safeway lot. $80 ticket read more

I drove by this place a few times on the way to the gym and decided to give it a try. Fusion places have always been hit and miss with me, mostly miss but given the reviews I was willing to try this place. The place was busy but we were attended to immediately and the dishes came in a prompt manner. I really liked the masala fish and chicken as it had the familiar flavors that I am used to with a bit of Chinese spices that it actually collectively worked together. The meat was nice and tender. Price was very reasonable. read more

This restaurant has small place but food is amazing. It's indo -Chinese fusion restaurant but tastes different from indo-Chinese cuisine which you get it India. But fried rice, Hakka noodles are similar to that. Food quality is really good with varieties of chicken and fish. Customer service is good and owner is always there to talk to you and sometimes she serves you. All are friendly. They have 15% discount on to go food read more

Ordered take out (covid) last night. Got the chili fish, masala prawns, Manchurian chicken fried rice, spicy noodles w/ chicken and veggies, and the beef w/ eggplant and green beans. Everything was really good and flavorful. The masala prawns were amazing. Next time I'll order masala everything! The "spicy" dishes like the chili fish were anything but. I wish they wouldn't take the spice levels down just to accommodate the masses! If it has three chili peppers beside it in the menu, it should have some heat to it. Lost a point for that, also the beef eggplant dish was quite small and soggy. read more

Couldn't help but be intrigued by the cuisine's title. I've eaten at equally strange restaurant combinations ('chinese food & donuts', 'indian food and pizza'), and so I had to try it. The food was very tasty, with a lot of spice and flavor. Perhaps it was our fault, but we happened to order two dishes with somewhat similar flavor profiles (Chicken Manchurian noodles and Hot and spicy paneer). It would have been nice to try something with more vegetables or a black bean sauce. What really made the experience enjoyable was the host. It was unique seeing an east-asian woman and hearing a south-Asian accent come out of her mouth. She gave great suggestions and told us what to avoid, in terms of pairings. She wanted to hear where we were from, what we were doing in the area, and had a great genuine caring attitude. I highly recommend this place. read more

Indian Wok - Manchurian chicken noodle (delicious garlic taste, spicy) and hot-and-spicy paneer (looks like ma-po tofu, actually paneer) - Hakka Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Small mom, pop type place. Decently priced lunch specials. Friendly service. Asian owners that speak Hindi from what I could discern, it wasn't Chinese or Cantonese... I tried the fish lunch special (Soup, main and rice). It was good but I didn't get the Indian flavours.... I didn't try any of the Indian dishes... Maybe next time. I'll be back to try other menu items. read more

Based on the strong reviews, I just had to give Indian Wok a try. I ordered takeout and boy am I happy that I did! The masala vegetable rice, chicken hot and sour soup, and hot and spicy paneer is dee-lish! Super flavorful and a nice twist on Chinese-Indian fusion food. Takeout is also good bang for your buck as they apply 15% discount! I will definitely be returning! read more

Ordered the honey garlic chicken, chicken fried rice, chicken chow mien and the ginger beef. The honey garlic chicken was horrible. It's all soggy cheap breading. Same with the ginger beef. The noodles are subpar Better off getting from the mall food court read more

Expensive and taste average compared to other indo-Chinese restaurants. Customer service is good though.

Indian style Chinese cuisine. I am an Indian and I love Indian style Chinese food and so decided to try this place out. They are only open for take out as of now. The order was quick and they gave us an additional discount of 15%. The quantity is very sufficing. They packaged the food really well and we didn't get any spillage. I would have loved some long rice for the fried rice we ordered and the salt was a bit less. Loved their chilli sauce. read more

I really enjoy Indo-chinese cuisine... I've been to a few places serving this kind of food. The pakoras were interesting (in a good way), and the masala chicken fried rice was superb! A few of the other dishes we had were better at different other restaurants. I'm not sure if I'd be back again... the other places were a bit better and the same distance. read more

Must try their chilli chicken 5/5 with fried rice (egg5/5,chicken 5/5 and also masala4/5. I have tried them all as I go to Indian Oak a lot). Butter chicken is 4/5. Their Calcutta Hakka noodles 2/5.It tasted like nothing special. I cook noodles better than this. Pakora 4/5. Service 4/5. Environment 4/5. read more

My wife and I do take out from here at least once a month. Delicious flavours! For sure one of the best places in central Burnaby. Portions are usually good but sometimes feel should have more meat at their price point. Our fav order for 2 ppl is: .Deep fried chili squid .Chili beef with green beans and eggplant .Manchurian chicken read more

My favourite place for carryout. Indian Wok opened a few months back, and really gives Chili Pepper House and Green Lettuce a run for their money in the emerging Indian-style Chinese food category. As others have mentioned, it's a family-run place, and the owners are so warm and nice; they'll remember you after only a visit or two, and even for carryout will make sure you're comfortable in a warm corner with some tea and a newspaper while waiting for your food to arrive, before giving you a 15% carryout discount. Food dishes are the typical Indian Chinese fare, but some of the highlights include: - Hot and spicy squid (my wife could eat this every day) - Vegetable Manchurian or the Gobi (cauliflower) Manchurian with Tofu - Chilli Tofu, chicken, or fish - Eggplant and Green Beans - Any of the mixed vegetable dishes; ask them for a recommendation based on what veggies you like - Tangerine Chicken read more

We try to go here at least once a month because we love the food. The staff and owners are friendly. The food is excellent and flavorful. The portions are large and excellent value. We try different dishes each time and are always good. Two of our favorites are the Masala Chicken and the Spicy Green Beans. The restaurant table area is small but clean and always busy. read more

This is a family-run restaurant that offers very tasty, lovely food. The owner was very kind and patient as I asked many questions about the different styles of flavouring such as Szechuan (drier, flavourful) and Manchurian (saucier). The owner's family members are ethnically Chinese but have lived in all parts of India. In fact, her husband and herself ran a Chinese restaurant in Austria, before heading to Vancouver! The green beans and eggplant was amazing! The beans were crispy and the eggplants were cooked just perfectly with the smoky "wok flavour" plus a nice punch of curry or garam masala. This was a vegetarian dish, so there was not even dried shrimp used. Still perfectly flavourful without the dried shrimp! The Szechuan fried noodle was tasty and fresh, with lots of cabbage, carrots, peppers and broccoli. They offer 15% off for take-out and their portions sizes are generous. Also, on weekdays, they have a variety of lunch specials for $5.99 (vegetarian) or $6.99 (meat and seafood) which include soup and rice. Heartily recommended! Will try the chilli fish and tofu or paneer dishes next time! They are located next to the HSBC on Kingsway, just east of Royal Oak. read more

Indian Wok - The lunch specials menu! Excellent value :) - Hakka Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Well, I've been here twice now, both for takeout. The first time was a few weeks ago, I ordered the manchurian chicken rice. It was $9.95 and unlike most places it's 15% off for pick up instead of 10% so it came out to like 8 bucks, that's a pretty good deal, the rice was tasty and nicely spiced, the only problem was there was barely any chicken in it, and the chicken that was in it was soooooo tiny, it was diced, the same size as the frozen peas and corn they use. Ok, whatever don't know what the deal with that was but I'll give them a second chance before I write my review. I ordered the masala chicken rice today, the chicken a little bigger but still very chintzy and the price went up a buck. Not impressed....guess if I'm in the mood for chinese/indian I'll go back to Chili Pepper House. read more

Great people and great food. I have known the owners for about 8 years now and have always been a fan of their food since day one. Humble folks with great hospitality. We usually order food from them once or twice a month for take out and have never ever had to complain about anything. I would highly recommend anyone to try them out and you will fall in love with the Chinese and India fusion. This is great Chinese food with a kick of South Asia. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant!! Everything that we ordered was sooo good. Even vegetarian foods too. I would love to go again. :) read more

Superb food ... delicately prepared, spiced, cooked and presented. A hidden gem and will definitely return to try all the dishes!!! PS ... this is a centuries old "fusion" food where two cultures mix to produce the best flavours. When Manchurians conquered China (and the world), the ethnic group called 'Hakka' people left northern part of China and moved south eventually populating countries in South East Asia and South America. This beautiful blend of Chinese-Indian foods at Indian Wok is thumbs up. Casual but with class and excellent food with good prices. Most friendly server including the co-owner who greets and help serve. Already thinking of when I will return. Wish the restaurant is in Vancouver area but worth the drive for good food! read more

Really good food for a fair price. I always come here for the butter paneer, mango lassi and sometimes for the fire ice cream. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I'm definitely coming back! read more
