We happened into this great lunch spot on a sleepy and snowy Saturday while exploring the European Christmas market and were served nothing but the best customer service from Dan, the new GM. As we were the only folks in the space, he gave us the grand tour in helping us understand how ordering works, what they offer, and all of the options available for purchase food. The food was delicious! Both my husband and I finished all of everything we ordered and were so grateful for everything being so freshly made! We got to spend some time with Dan talking about the state of the business and how they are helping revive a local downtown building, which was cool to hear about the forward moving plans. We also ended up talking a lot about personal travel experiences which was a nice personable touch! Overall super excited to see some delicious food come to downtown and the revival of some of the historical buildings. We definitely come back again and again! read more

Right now the Saint Paul store is closed awaiting a new owner. Hope they re open soon.

Honestly, me an my family REALLY wanted to like this restaurant. But all of the sauces literally taste like Cardboard. We didn't know anybody could screw up stir-fry until we visited Urban Wok. read more

Updating my review as Urban Wok was true to their promise and refunded our money. The extra dumplings were very tasty. I probably should've brought my dish back and asked them to replace it. I can recommend the dumplings for sure. If you find you don't have what you ordered and the taste profile seems wrong. Take it back and report it. they should be able to accommodate you fairly quickly. read more

My friend and I ordered Urban Wok via Uber Eats. I live nearby but we were busy so we wanted it delivered. They took so long to prepare the food that the driver we had canceled. When we did meet our courier he handed me a bag that looked like it would be too small to possibly have all that we ordered. Sure enough, my friend got his drink but no meal items he ordered. We then thought if it was a matter of the store just not putting everything together in a bag we could walk over and get it, but they refused to answer their phone. My friend called 3 times, the last time with the phone only ringing twice before hanging up on him. I then tried in case they were screening his calls and they didn't answer for me either. This same friend and I have walked in and ordered in the past, although a while ago, and it was always slow getting food we ordered. That refusal to even answer the phone speaks volumes about their customer service. I've never seen this location super busy but they've always taken forever to get food out, but the refusal to communicate and set a mistake right is honestly the biggest issue. read more

Yummy, fresh fast casual option in St Paul! Super easy to order and customize on the iPads. Customer service was super friendly and welcoming. My order took a bit longer than usual because it was made with the wrong base as first, but everything is made fresh to order and they ended up giving me the messed-up order for free which was so nice! Tons of searing and street parking isn't too hard to find nearby. read more

High quality food with amazing sauces. Truely a destination if you are looking for quick foot without compromising quality.

The food is good. My only complaint would be the inconsistency. I generally order the same thing and it's always fresh and good but somehow it always has different portions and tastes slightly different read more

Urban Wok will be a one and done for me. We stopped in for take out dinner and learned it was Wing Wednesday - wings are $0.75. They weren't worth it. We tried a 6 pc boneless wing in both Korean BBQ and Blackberry Habanero. The coating was thick and mushy, no crispiness whatsoever. The sauce coating was tasty yet heavy. The Blackberry Habanero flavour was the best thing about the order - nice heat and sweet. The Korean BBaq flavor was a glorified ketchup. The chicken under the coating is fine - seemed to be breast meat and tender, but disguised by far too much mushy coating. To-go packaging is recyclable so that's nice to see. Ambiance is minimalist but pleasant, although the music was quite loud and polarizing for us. We won't return. read more

This little GEM is a must!!!!!!!!!!!! I ordered doordash and needed to find someplace to eat that was opened downtown St. Paul. So very glad I did. The website to order from does not do the food justice at all. However I got the potstickers( these might be the best in the cities!) great is an understatement! Then ordered some undo noodles which was create your own... hmmm cool. Quick delivery- popped open the container which where still hot and full flavor explosion of great delight!!!!! Fantastic! Only drawback was kinda $$$ for 1 - $36. However I will be back and with friends! read more

You're knocking right on the door of being good, but it's just so dang bland and the sauce is kinda watered down compared to how I know these dishes are suppose to taste, maybe add more spices or something and it be genuinely great read more

I tried this place out with a friend and immediately got a bad feeling. Not only was the place empty during Friday dinner hours but it also looked like an Asian chipotle. At this place, you choose the ingredients and the sauce that it's cooked with. We got the food for dine-in and it came in Chinese takeout boxes?? What in the appropriational marketing is this? Anyways, I wouldn't have minded it as much if the food was good. Unfortunately, it was quite the opposite. The noodles were soggy and the box condensed all of the soy garlic sauce into a pool. This might honestly be the worst food I've had in my life. Idk maybe I'm biased but one taste of Urban Wok's and you would understand why. read more

If it's late and you're in downtown St. Paul, you could do worse. But also, you could do better if you'd planned a little and lost track of time because now this is the only thing thats open. Good job. Sometimes food is just a thing you need to stave off starvation for another day, and I think this place falls into that category. You'll probably find something you like on this menu, and I hope you enjoy it. read more

The robots are here No jobs for any cashiers The food is good, though This is the second eating establishment that I have been to in less than a week that would normally have a cashier but has ditched it in favor of DIY credit card only stations. I get it. The future is upon us. Study up on your STEM, young folks. Choose your carbohydrate with six choices. Two types of rice and four types of noodles. I went with the Yakisoba. Choose one protein: chicken, beef, shrimp, tofu or veggie. I went with chicken. Choose one sauce. Seven choices. I went with Korean BBQ. Waited maybe five minutes and food was tasty. They will text you, email you or yell your name whenever your order is ready. Food comes out in a chow mein take out box. Take your choice of fork or chopsticks. My creation was super tasty, and I will probably repeat when in the area again. read more

I get takeout from here twice a month and it is always great. My partner and I order very differently (I am more veggie/tofu heavy and he is more of a meat person) and both always enjoy it. The portions are very generous - I usually have lunch for the next day too - and my order is always spot on and ready very quickly after ordering. Lots of options for customization as well, which I love. I haven't eaten inside, but it's always very clean when I go to pickup. read more

Ordering is difficult. Food is hot so that's good. It. Very salty. Not great flavor. I ordered steak in mine and got very little meat. Very nice counter staff. For dining in I did not expect to be eating out of takeout containers. Better places to go read more

Love their stir fry dishes - rice or noodles, choice of protein, tons of veggies and fresh, house made sauces. The portions are large enough to share, or to bring for lunch the next day. Their downtown Saint Paul location is 3 blocks from my apartment, so we almost never dine in. The space seems comfortable and laid back, and the service is great. read more

I ordered through Uber Eats, and they sent an empty box with no food. When I called the restaurant, unfortunately, they took no responsibility or made an effort to resolve it. The only response was the order was taken care of by another server( whose name is listed as "Default 0"), and I go figure out a refund with Uber on my own. Careless, and no customer service! read more

Urban Wok - Steak stir fry, but no steak! - Asian Fusion Near Me - St Paul, Minnesota

This place is so good!! I think the reason for some negative reviews is people making their own order and not choosing the best sauces, that's my only explanation because it's amazing. I've tried 3 different types and each have been really good. Did the butternut squash noodles and they were cooked perfectly and made me realize I could do life without noodles. I also noted that in the takeout containers the food doesn't look like a lot but on a plate it's actually quite and bit and I was very full after. read more

Omg, I never regret coming here when I have a few $ to spare. The udon noodles with veggies + chicken + spicy peanut sauce has me so in love for real. Pictured below was $15 and that is only half of the whole portion you get! The portion size will definitely be enough for leftovers if you're a light eater like me and if not, you'll be so full from eating the whole thing! I LOVE YOU URBAN WOK! read more

Review Update -- the issue with the yelp coupon was resolved and I'm happy to update my review :) I ordered the Yakisoba Noodles with chicken and Yellow Curry. It was amazing! I liked how late it was open too so that when I got off the Amtrak Train across the street I could order some food. The ordering process was a bit clunky with the self-order registers. A few times you had to tap "No Extra Protein" etc. I was hoping for personal recommendations, but luckily my food was great. Recommend eating the potstickers ASAP. I left it in the packaging for awhile and it steamed and became soft. Not at fault of the restaurant though. Overall I'll definitely be back! Pros: + Delicious food! + Plenty of options (including vegetarian) + Open late, perfect for those arriving by train Cons: + Lack of recommendation due to self checkout (though I never asked) + UI was slightly clunky on the register read more

Due to food allergen problems, this is one of the only restaurants that I can eat at. They get orders wrong 1/2 of the time. Their phone numbers for their locations either drop the call or continue to ring without being answered. They act like they don't know about this and have been told multiple times. Order today was wrong and when I picked it up, it was the only order on their screens....one order and it's still wrong. The managers offer you discount codes for future orders instead of rectifying problems. read more

I had been waiting for this place to open for sooooo long so I was ecstatic to see the open sign. The owners was so welcoming, accommodating and helpful and the vibe of the place was awesome! I didn't feel like they were rushing me out of the door like other places might. The food was amazing, it was everything I was hoping for and more! what I love most is that they have a rewards program, some places it takes a while to get it started. but not this place, the owner even helped me set everything up! that will definitely help me come back more often. I definitely can't wait to go back with my boyfriend read more

Not super impressed with this place. The food is decent but it's way overpriced. Also when you dine in, they still leave your food in a box and don't offer a plate or anything, which I would prefer. The ordering process is also somewhat confusing. 2/5 stars. read more

The food is phenomenal. We ordered for home delivery through GrubHub. We didn't get exactly what we ordered. Not sure who is to blame. We tried to register the issue through GrubHub, but then it forced us to try to request a refund. We're not doing that without knowing more about the issue. Again. We're really happy with the food, but disappointed with the fact they left out some items. Will try ordering direct and maybe we can get to the bottom of it while being adults about it. read more

Okay so, I am really happy we stumbled upon this place. Literally everything was great. When we walked in the door, greeted and was asked if it was our first time. We told the gentleman, that yes it's our first time, and he explained the kiosk ordering system in great detail. Everything being so aesthetically pleasing and organized led for an easy ordering experience. We each also hea abed some Insight Beers served in their cans. The food was great. When they rank their sauce mediuM, it's still a little Spivey so be cautious. Everything is very clean and inviting. Also, chargers at all the booths and even a Pokémon Gym within reach! read more

when I first came in just the decor itself stunned me! it was beautiful. would definitely host a small lunch or dinner there. The guy Darrell who helped us was amazing!

Overpriced, tasteless and dry. I paid $15 for this custom noodle dish. There was very little steak and veggies. No sauce was cooked into the noodles. Instead the sauce was served on the side. The meal was nowhere worth the price I paid. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Delicious! I was watched udon noodle videos on Instagram so I needed to find some immediately. Lo and behind they were available nearby for a great price and plenty of noodz!

So I was trying to find a tasty Chinese spot late night using DoorDash and came across this spot. I ordered the shrimp stir fry with all the free veggies, plus broccoli, ginger/garlic mild sauce, and udon noodles plus some medium spicy jalapeño hot sauce on the side. I also got the jalapeño fried rice. The food arrived quickly and very hot! One taste and WOW! Fresh, vibrant, healthy, just the right amount of salt and spice! Definitely a great spot to go to if you're looking for tasty Asian food that doesn't have MSG and has top quality ingredients. I'd order there again! read more

Fantastic new spot in LOWERTOWN STP! I'm really excited to return and switch up the proteins, veggies & noodle/rice selections. THERE ARE ENDLESS combinations!!!
