On the road from Ottawa back to Toronto I decided to stop in for some Chinese Food to take home. My wife and I try different places all the time looking for the best tasting. But old school really counts towards the vibe! Well, our reigning champ is in Havelock (Garden). But, unfortunately was not open today. I looked at the reviews on Yelp and found Wee Wok looked like a good place to try. I stopped in at Wee Wok and placed the order and within 20 minutes I was back on the road. Probably an hour and a half later I was home. Food was all still hot enough - they double bagged everything for me to retain some heat for the drive. To start on the food, I have to say it was all very good. I rarely want to give a 5/5 because there is always the possibility of finding better and now what do you do? Had: Spring Rolls, Egg Rolls, Szechuan Beef, Wonton Soup, Mushroom Fried Rice, Almond Chicken Soo Gui (gravy on the side) and Shanghai Noodles. (Note) My wife was Covid+ at the time so her sence of taste and smell was off. But she loved the comfort of the Chinese Food. And gave it 2 thumbs up. I Found the spring roll to taste unique (herbs?), not unpleasant just unexpected. I liked that it was different. My wife could not detect anything. The Won Ton Soup was tasty and the pork was thick and very tender. Very good, maybe the best ever. The Szechuan Beef was a bit light on beef, but I loved the sauce on the fried rice. Rice was good, Egg Rolls were good, Shanghai noodles were fine, not spectacular. Almond Chicken - great thick crunchy coating, not really greasy. All and all very enjoyable, and was prepared quickly. The staff was friendly. Only thing to be aware of is that I think it's Take out only, there is no dining room. Will happily return read more

The service was very nice. However, this is the second time I have ordered from WWE and am still disappointed. There aren't any dishes with cashews, no ginger beef, no lemon chicken. I got the kung pao and spring rolls the first time and both were terrible. The spring rolls were basically filled with low quality black bean paste - the lovely crunch of bean sprouts and lightly oiled paper didn't exist. The kung pao was pretty much diced vegetables, no tofu, and a half hearted sauce. This almond vegetables were terrible, all the vegetables skimped and/or old. The wee corns were dry, the water chestnuts barely existent and soggy. And the Shanghai noodles were not terrible, but lacked in vegetables. I ended up combining my almond veg with the Shanghai noodles to make a passable dish. When people order food it's because they believe what they're ordering will be better than what they have at home, which was a big deal to 3bring to mind read more

This used to be THE best Chinese I've ever had. However, the last 2 times I've ordered from here it wasn't good at all. Running to bathroom and taste wasn't what it used to be. They have the strangest hours too. read more

Tasty and well-prepared dishes (chicken, pork, lo mein). Delivery service was on time (prep and delivery time was an hour) and the driver was very courteous. On my list for next visits to town. read more

Great food great value, great friendly service. Plan ahead! The family dinner for 5 is good lots of food with variety that will satisfy all. Kids loved the chicken balks and shrimp! This is a great local business support local ptbo. read more

Wee Wok Express - Chinese Near Me - Peterborough, Ontario

Was to pick up order between 7 and 7:10 pm on Sunday. Wasn't ready until 7:25 which really wasn't a big deal. When I got home and we went to eat, everything was rock hard and we couldn't bite into it. It was too late to call back because they close at 8:00 pm. Called back today Tuesday, as they are closed on Mondays and they wouldn't take responsibility for their overcooked food. Egg rolls, breaded shrimp, lemon chicken, chicken balls were dark brown and hard, not golden like the pictures. They told me the most they could do if I brought it back was to give me a $15 refund out of a $67 order that is going into the garbage. Lady on the phone was very argumentative and kept saying that we just don't like deep fried food. We wouldn't have ordered it if we didn't like it. She said their policy was that you had to call back the same day, but they were closed by the time I got home and got it on our plates. Makes me wonder if they gave it to me late because they knew it was overdone. I definitely don't recommend them. read more

Good food. Fast delivery. Food came hot. Mushroom rice seems to have just canned mushrooms added, so don't bother with that. Otherwise, best Chinese food in town. . read more

Was suspicious of all the rave 5 star reviews but decided to check out Wee Wok for myself : Pros : Spring (house made?) and Egg Rolls were crispy, tasty, and not greasy. Fried rice was light and also not greasy. Chicken balls were huge and had a large chunk of meat in them. Cons: General Tso Chicken was bland and WAY too ketchup-y. Sweet and Sour sauce was a tasteless blob of almost solid gelatin. Coating on Pepper Steak was mushy and pasty. Prices are high and portions are small. Wee Wok needs to pull up their wee socks. Worth another visit, but if the quality is the same again, I won't be back for a third time. Common Yelpers, help out a fellow food lover. Let's reserve 5 stars for something really special. read more

sweet and sour pork is DELICIOUS, lo mein is okay, both containers r the same size and everything was $28. read more

Wee Wok Express - sweet and sour pork - Chinese Near Me - Peterborough, Ontario

See all

We recently had take-out from Wee Wok Express. It's located in an old house on George St. that formerly housed a Chinese take-out establishment. This new business is family run and they have remodelled the location giving it a fresh, bright look. The owners are very friendly! There is the usual selection of Chinese menu items along with Thai dishes. We were in a hurry so selected a dinner for four. We were pleasantly surprised with the dishes. Everything tasted freshly prepared with lots of fresh vegetables and sauces. It wasn't heavily loaded with fillers like excessive rice, noodles, cabbage, and bean sprouts. The meats were all well-prepared. There was plenty of food for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. It reminded me of what good Chinese food tasted like when I was a kid as opposed to many places that seem to simply order off the Asian wholesale freezer list. They have take-out and delivery and give a 10% discount for take-away when paying with cash. We will happily try them again. read more

This place is great! It's little and is only take out delivery but don't let that deter you! We ordered fried rice, veggies, egg Foo Yong, and the potato onion curry. Everything was cooked fresh while we waited and was delicious. This is our first time to Peterborough and we were often late to get dinner, we were kindly welcomed in at 3 minutes to close (8:57pm) and were offered menus and some history of the place while we waited. I'd eat here again, actually I'm on my way for dinner now! :) read more

Staff was absolutely wonderful and super friendly. They were really helpful and pleasant and definitely understand what good customer service is! They have a massive and diverse menu including standard staples for a Chinese food place and Szechuan, Cantonese and Thai. I found it really awesome that their spicy dishes can be customised on a scale of 0 to 10 in terms of heat. When our order was ready, the guy even walked it out to our car for us. The food was excellent. It was fresh tasting and very flavourful. The pepper steak was amazing and their egg rolls were quite good. We will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Fresh! Fresh! Fresh! I am not a long time resident of Peterborough and in my few short years here, I have sampled many Chinese restaurants and unfortunately the one word that overwhelmingly comes to mind is , mediocre. I have ordered several dishes from a particular menu and found one or two to shine and the others are quite disappointing. A greasy egg roll for instance can dull my appreciation of dishes to come as I usually eat one first as an appetizer. Vegetables that are cooked far too long or not near enough seem to be the accepted norm from many establishments. Mediocrity is what I call it. Then along came my discovery of Wee Wok Express. I am now on my journey through their fabulous menu. I have yet to be disappointed by a single fork full and yes I said fork full as chopsticks still baffle me. Vegetables cooked perfectly for my taste. Tender and yet still with good tooth. I have never eaten anything that made me think, frozen or processed. Chicken Chop Suey with huge chunks of tender chicken and very little batter on the chicken balls. The eggroll filling is crunchy and the shells are perfection. Beef and pork are always tender and tasty and the shrimp is not all rubbery from over cooking. The flavours are bright and just plain delicious and the sauces are used in proper quantities so as to enhance a dish and not turn it soupy. The service is super. Period. Always personal and friendly and they have never made an error in our orders. My partner has a food allergy and they accommodate her needs without flaw. I enjoy a bit of heat in some dishes but not "rip your face off hot," as some do enjoy. They get it every time. The food arrives at our door piping hot and if we pick it up, it is always ready when they say it will be. The Chefs are masters of wok cookery and they use clean oil for frying. I have never experienced that awful and all permeating flavour that old oil imparts in food. My partner and I will continue to work through the menu for many years to come. I highly recommend Wee Wok Express to anyone who loves good food. You wont be disappointed. read more

Food was on time and was very tasty. All ingredients were fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and pleasant to deal with. Definitely worth trying again ! read more

Good food, nice people, fair prices. Delivery was quick and polite. I would recommend this place to anyone. Tasty.

Good menu, prices are a bit high for what you get, that's why I gave 3 stars. Super fast service. Employees have no time to be friendly. Location is good bright clean located in a very busy mall food court.(Lansdowne place bottom floor) second best place in town for Chinese food in my opinion. I definitely recommend. read more

Tried the Szechuan Chicken on a Sunday evening. When I opened the dish I had to check twice to see if there was actually chicken in the dish. They had added green cabbage bits to the vegetables and these were tough and uneatable. We used to enjoy their egg rolls. Now they are the same old, same old. Take a bite and the entire contents slides out of the roll. read more

Best Chinese food in Peterborough! I recommend them to everyone. I speak so highly of them, my entire family now orders from them, as well as many co-workers. Thank you, Wee Wok, for showing us what GOOD Chinese food is like! read more

Wee Wok has the best Chinese take out in Peterborough, hands down. In fact, they will ruin you for all the other places in town. Never again will you tolerate a soggy chicken ball or a greasy lo mein from those other guys. The food here is incredible, the service friendly and the menu is extensive, covering your traditional Chinese take out dishes, but extending into Szechuan and Thai dishes as well. Word of warning: they are in demand (rightfully so!) and delivery can sometimes take over an hour. Plan accordingly. read more

This is by far the worst spot I've been to. The service is absolutely terrible and the food isn't much better. I waited 15 mins for the girl to figure out how to make a gift card. She kept helping the people that were walking in behind me while I stood there instead of figuring out how to sell me the gift card. I would rather burn my money then spend it there. read more

This is the real deal Asian food. How do they keep the hours they do? because their food is awesome . All the power to them!

I'm usually skeptical of Chinese take out restaurants. So I gave this place a try and it's amazing! I'm impressed by their customer service and how they went above and beyond for me. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to try Chinese - Canadian food. The chicken wings are the best! read more

Food was ordinary. We come from Montreal where Asian food is exceptional. Their food was fresh, prices reasonable but when I go out to eat, it has to be better than what I can make at home. This place did not make the grade. I think Ptbo folk are far less fussy than we are. Sorry guys. Will not be returning. read more

Great service. Very fast and friendly. Great food. Different some dishes have a different taste from a regular Chinese food place. But still great. read more

Service for delivery was faster than stated, delivery person was polite and confirmed the order and the food was well cooked traditional entrees. We will order again from Wee Wok Express . read more

It was on time, it was hot and it appears to have been made with fresh ingredients. Having said that, the Pad Thai was rather tasteless, Beef and Brocolli tasted, well, odd. Fried Rice was ok, Chicken Balls were good, Shrimp were good. Overall, just OK. I've had much better. Not worthy of the 5 star reviews by some others IMHO. read more

Called to order food and was hung up on 3 times then the phone was left off the hook for about 5-10 minutes each time. Afterwards I finally got through and was told it was very busy and deliver would be 2 hours (fair enough, but I now know they were obviously hanging up on purpose) at this point I inquired how much delivery was and was told it was $1.00 per KM if within 3KM, I was within 3KM only about 2KM away. I was then told delivery cost really depends on how much I order and closer to $30.00 the cheaper it will be and is free if over $30.00. So I told them my order which totaled $24.75 before taxes. I was then told my delivery fee would be $5.00. At this point I told them no thanks and hung up. Shady practices like this is just stupid and should never be practiced. I'm sure the food is great but I won't know because I won't order from a business that treats their customers this way. read more

One of the GREATEST experiences ive ever had with delivery. The food was fresh, hot and flavorful. The staff was so helpful and polite, even calling when they were close! At first i thought the price was a little more but when i saw the portions i knew i got an awesome deal! I will definetly be going there more often. Side note, their shrimp chips are to die for read more
