Shredded Pork Sauteed with Pickled Mustard greens
Chelsey D.

I'm gonna start off by saying that Magic Wok is a hidden gem in JC! I never would've thought little ole Johnson city would have a restaurant that served authentic Sichuan cuisine! We've dined here soooo many times since having lunch here for the first time with some friends. After trying more things on the menu here and there, I think the cumin beef, beef with chili and scallion, and shredded pork with pickled mustard greens are our favorite dishes! All dishes are served with either steamed rice or fried rice which is always cooked perfectly. They have an Americanized menu and an authentic menu, and also have daily specials as well as lunch portions and prices. Ever since moving away, I've missed eating here so much. Give them a visit and you won't regret it!

Peking Duck  is the best food I've had this year and it's November!

Do yourself a favor and order the Peking duck! This place is the Star of Eastern Tennessee. Me and my wife just finished eating here for our one year anniversary and the food is well worth the 45 minute drive!

Shiang La Chicken
Randy T.

This was the first time I have eaten here and I was very impressed. The service was fantastic, they came around and checked on us several times throughout the meal, and were very helpful. There is a traditional Chinese menu and an Americanized-Chinese menu, I ordered off the traditional one and got the spicy chicken. It was a good amount of spice and very flavorful. The portion size of the noodles that my girlfriend got was ENORMOUS, we both ate our full and still had an entire take home container full. Very happy with the good and service

Spicy and authentic Szechuan dishes--off the Chinese menu.
Tay E.

Another consistently fantastic meal, NYC quality Chinese at Johnson City prices. All the veggies and meats/seafood were fresh and well cooked. The Szechuan (also spicy) flavors prevailed through all the key dishes--very similar to the renowned Peter Chang (voted best Chinese chef in the US a bit ago) that we had in Richmond VA area. If you think Tabasco sauce is spicy then be warned, as that is prob considered mild here. Apparently they have been at this location for a long while. We always order the dinner portions and share, then have good amount of leftovers next day The service is great w the young gal and the owner is awesome too. These are our favs, mostly off the Szechuan dinner menu: NA06 Scallion pancakes NB02 Cumin Beef w Cilantro (has lots o broccoli) NS02 Shiang La Shrimp (spicy ) NC05 Chicken w Scallion & Chili in Hot Plate (spicy) Noodle dish w beef that I can't recall

Szechuan Noodles with Beef
Nicole G.

I have been to Magic Wok several times and it never disappoints. Fast and friendly service, huge portions, and delicious food. I got the beef with noodles from the authentic szechuan menu and it was enough for two people. Not to mention bogo beers on Friday and Saturday. I will definitely be back.

Not sure why anyone would eat here. The waitress brushed this off the table as she was seating us. Needless to say we didn't stay. On the upside it was dead

I seldom write reviews, but this Sesame Chicken is absolutely amazing. Easily the best I've ever had.

Makes me tear up because of how good it is. Perfectly tender, the sauce is strong enough maintain taste throughout chewing but not strong enough for you to get sick of it. Absolute 10/10

A hidden treasure! Work is being done to modernize the dining room and the food is top notch every time. The authentic Chinese menu is where it's at!

I'm confused on where this is because when we went there we thought it was supposed to be Stir Fry…read moreCafe and it was this place. Anyways, I think it's brand new and it's a wonderful place to eat. The service was GREAT. The server and the host were extremely friendly and I couldn't believe how many times she made sure we were doing okay and refilled our drinks right when we needed them. It could have been because it was getting late and not as many people were there, but oh well I was happy. The food was delicious. Lettuce wrap - yummy! Tofu and it doesn't even seem like it, it was so tasty. They bring out a free wonton appetizer and different dipping sauce and you can mix them together too. I got the sweet and sour shrimp, very good, the rice was a little dry but it still tasted pretty good. My boyfriend got a spicy tofu dish, I can't remember what it was but I know he enjoyed it and it was pretty spicy for him. But we both enjoyed it very much. Mango tea - MMM. Bits of mango in it, but not too sweet, more like an unsweetened iced tea with a touch of mango. I'm not usually a fan of unsweetened iced tea but this was good! TRY IT!

Ordered the Sesame Chicken. It was sooo overcooked, actually could not eat it. Went in to tell…read moreher and she did nothing about it...no refund, no new order. Customer service at its worse.
