I ordered takeout from this restaurant and it was a good experience! I tried the sushi combo which came with a California roll, some sashimi, and a salad. The salad was not very good. The broccoli was bitter and tough and overall it just let me down. That being said, everything else was GREAT! The sushi was fresh and tasty. I appreciated the healthy serving of ginger, too. Prices were fair and the food was ready super fast. I highly recommend sushi takeout from Wild wok! But I would suggest choosing the soup over the salad! read more

In a take out order there was literally two pieces of meat. When I returned with the order the man at the front desk said that was impossible and that I was lying to get another meal. He would NOT redo the meal or give me credit. Too bad because we ate here reasonably often. . read more

Used to be a fav spot. Came in tonight and waiter was 18 and no bartender. We were not allowed to order drinks or even wine. Ordered some sushi and bang bang shrimp as apps. As you can see on pic, the worst looking rainbow roll ever. Pic doesn't even capture how bad it was. The bang bang shrimp had absolutely no flavor. Not even a spice. This was such a good restaurant a couple of years ago. Has gone down hill the last 3 times we have been here. Will most likely be our last visit until changes are made. read more

I would put 0 stars if I could.. I just left here & I had to threaten the manager to run my card for the items I ate & drank so I can leave. The Asian "sizzling" steak was over cooked, cold, & no flavor... I asked for medium rare, & it was medium... I asked if they can re make since it's cut, cold & not sizzling.. she came back with same steak now over cooked & just warmed up in microwave. I then just tried to deal With it... but for $17.00 I wanna be satisfied! So I asked manager if he could just take it off, we are leaving just charge us for what we had.... He said the sushi that my husband ordered was fine.. he would Re make my order as my husband sat & ate in front of me for 15 mins till my steak was done.. negative!!! That's not how it should be! He was rude, & insisted me paying for sushi even though we wasn't eating it! Never go there!! read more

It's been years since I've visited "Wild Wok" and I'm happy that I stopped in again. My friends and I was looking for a place to grab a late night bite, most places were closed except for "Wild Wok". The restaurant is exactly like how I remembered it with plenty of seating for everyone. We received the best customer service from our server. She was super attentive and helpful. I decided to go with the bento box. The food was super hot and fresh. My favorite item had to be the sushi rolls. That was quite delicious and exactly like I imagined it. The portions were huge so you may want to split if you're not that hungry. Overall, I look forward to visit "Wild Wok" again in the near future. For a Sushi-Fusion restaurant, it's not bad at all! read more

We have gone to this Wild Wok (there is another on Catawba Valley Blvd.) for years. We find the food and service to be uniformly excellent, though we don't eat sushi so can't rate that. Lunch prices are quite reasonable and portion sizes appropriate. Dinner prices are high but unless you're really big eater, you can get two meals out of one dish; the portions are large. Highly recommended. read more

Fun little spot for a quick bite! Basic Asian bistro, but delicious food! I always get sushi with my meal and it is always good. The service is average, nothing to rave about. But they are always friendly and attentive. Would recommend read more

As a repetitive customer, today was the worst meal I've ever had from Wild Wok. Their customer service was great, and we ordered several meals which included an egg drop soup. The soup tasted awful, as if they had just poured raw eggs and didn't give the soup enough time to cook. read more

Wild Wok - Egg Drop Soup - Chinese Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

We were in the mood for Chinese food. Excellent food and service! Maggie was the best. For our first time as guests, we were impressed!

We got the flower chicken and it was like it was just sitting in a pot of water all day. The chicken was so soft it just dissolved in your mouth and the whole meal was no flavor and we even got sweet and sour to help. The sushi was typical and not bad but not a place I would recommend or return to. We didn't even want to give the chicken to the dogs and have them throw it up. read more

New to the area, scouting out the sushi joints and General Tso's Chicken... this week was Wild Wok time! Ordered General Tso's and Bourbon chicken, a few apps, and several rolls for takeout. The restaurant itself seems nice and clean, friendly staff, typical prices... Quality was good, not quite great but a solid "good". Of course every place is going to have their own take on each dish and roll so while I wouldn't say this is our favorite spot in the Hickory area, that's more a matter of personal preference. They'll get another try, next time some other dishes and rolls, and it may remain on our list as a backup option. Over all, you should give them a try! I don't think you will be disappointed. Whether the General Tso's (or any other dish) is exactly how you like it of course will be for you to decide. read more

Poor food quality, I ordered cashew chicken , chicken smells bad and dry . had the worst cashew chicken of my life.when I told the server he said he will give me 30 percent off and when the bill came it was same charge. then he said he will give me $2 back . This place is a mess . Never go again. read more

This place probably has the best sushi in town. I first came here after multiple people recommended it to me. They have a great selection sakis and Asian beer. The cocktail list is a little lacking, having only vodka based drinks. If you sit at the sushi bar the give you a complimentary crab and cucumber salad with some type of sweet dressing. It is light and delicious. We then started out with the pork gyozas (fried dumplings) and they were great. Moving on to the star of the show, the lobster roll. It is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, and it's so fresh it might just pinch you. I usually end up getting two because it's just that good. Service is always extremely fast and friendly. My wife and I have sat, ate, and left in less than 30 minutes. The only thing I don't recommend is the bourbon chicken. For me, it was more onion than chicken. If you are new to Saki try the Lychee Saki. It isn't too strong or sweet, and you still get to pour yourself little shots and who doesn't love that. Overall I highly recommend Wild Wok on Center St. read more

There are two businesses in Hickory by this name, but this one is the one to go to! I recommend: - Connie Salad topped with avocado and Spicy Mayo (SO good!!) - Spicy Thai Basil Chicken (I request no mushrooms) - California roll on soy paper -Wild Wok roll on soy paper -Pot stickers (Ask for them to deep fry the like the egg rolls are done.) - Egg drop soup I moved here from Lafayette, La. about a year ago and this was the first restaurant my fiancé and I tried. The food is always so dang good and the sushi is fresh! I will say that if there is an issue, they are reluctant to fix it. I typically order the California roll or the Wild Wok roll if I'm getting sushi, but yesterday I tried a new one; the winter roll. The fried onion in it was over fried to the point that it was stringy and leathery. I pointed it out to our waitress and she requested to touch our food to pull the onion out. We told her it was okay and she said that there wasn't anything wrong with it. (There was a bit of a language barrier) My fiancé requested a different roll which was significantly cheaper. They didn't charge us for the new roll, but did charge us for the one we didn't eat. This isn't something that will keep us from returning, but I just wanted to mention it. read more

A pretty good deal for the food you get, I especially like the sushi. The price is way better than most around and their rolls are always good. I don't recommend the salads, though. Both the ones we got were made with wilty vegetables read more

Things I did like: The food Things I didn't like: The man that made me uncomfortable. He kept walking around me and my friends table and staring dead at us. I think we had like 3 waiters first it was the man that made us uncomfortable then another man came up and gave us water then finally someone came to take our order. The man that made us uncomfortable seemed to be walking around like he was trying to find something to do very suspicious like. Very off experience read more

I've worked here on and off for a few years, and I can say as an employee and customer that the food is great--there's something for everyone--the sushi is fresh, the cooks and waitresses are quick, the prices are really reasonable, the specials are good, and everyone is very kind. It's hard to find a place that cares so much about its customers like this! read more

Great food and the people are always friendly! I hate restaurants but I look forward to getting their takeout!!

The food is okay. The spring rolls are great and the sushi is amazing! They are typically fresh as well. That is where the good ends. The man that takes the order is AWFUL. He is very short with customers, super inpatient and not willing to answer any questions or provide assistance at all. He is so rude that even though my family loves the sushi from here I refuse to go and get it because he is not tolerable. Ordering takeout should not be an uncomfortable experience if you want people to come back! read more

I normally only get to go here once a year but it is definitely our favorite Christmas Day spot for the past 13 or so years. Food is always great and we've never had any service issues. read more

My friend and I ordered a General Tsos chicken lunch special and a Chicken Pad Thai lunch special. 1. The chicken was awful--the deep fried General Tsos chicken just tasted weird. It wasn't fresh and you could definitely tell it wasn't. The crisp breading (that it should have) was not there. It was soggy and drenched with sauce. The chicken in the pad thai was the only part I enjoyed in my dish and I didn't even like it all that much. 2. Fried rice in the General Tsos-- no, just NO. Why is the fried rice ZESTY? What kind of fried rice is zesty? The zesty rice was nasty, but it was the only part my friend liked. 3. Pad thai-- I honestly don't remember the last time that I ordered something and didn't like it. Well, this dish was definitely a regret. The noodles were chewy? I couldn't really eat them well, so I kind of just picked at it. The chicken was OK. Slight hint of eggs in the dish. 4. Steamed dumplings-- YES. These were delish. 5. Sushi-- YES. My crunchy roll was great. I usually order the M&M roll (the more expensive version of the crunchy roll, IMO), but after realizing I had already spent $11 on a lunch I didn't really like, I went on a budget. Lol. From 3pm - 6(?)pm, there is 50% off sushi if you dine in, which was great because that meant the crunchy roll was only $3.48 instead of $6.95. The two stars are for the sushi and steamed dumplings. Service was eh. Table was dirty with some kind of red mystery sauce... *Overall, I was not impressed with this Wild Wok location. I would rather go to the one on Catawba Blvd, but I was in the area.* read more

Wild Wok - Chicken pad thai & general tsos chicken. Pad thai was not that great. General tsos was ok. - Chinese Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

I do not think this place was going for any sort of authenticity, but I have experience far better Americanized Chinese food. This place reminds me of a glorified Panda Express. Their portions are great and the price seems fair for the nice appearance of the restaurant itself. The food on the other hand is not acceptable. I cleaned my dish because food is food but that's only because I am not on the "Chopped" judge panel because those people are ridiculous. I ordered the "House Lo Mein" and I was presented with dry rubbery brown noodles. They put some sort of bland tasting sauce on it. I would have rather eaten plain well cooked noodles. The cluster of meat was okay, but that bland sauce just sucked the life right out of them. Asides from the food, the wait staff was fantastic. Very enthusiastic and on top of our orders. Concluding Haiku: It's a restaurant Tasted like panda express What can you expect read more

I get lunch or dinner here regularly. I mostly get the sushi specials they offer, you can get one appetizer and two sushi rolls for $12.50. It fills me up and it's always yummy! I'm never disappointed and am a regular customer. Dine in is not open right now but you can order take out and enjoy it at home! Will definitely be back when I'm craving sushi or another delicious entree! If you haven't given this place a try, you should! read more

We used to enjoy it. We called for 2 days and no one answered. Finally drove there and it was locked up and closed. Called the other location in town and they said they had no idea but heard they were no longer a Wild Wok. Poor business practice if they intend to reopen to not put a note up or a message on answering machine. read more

Lunch sushi special is my go to, two rolls for 8.50, who can argue with that!?!? Everything else on the menu is incredible and is ready when you arrive. We dine in on weekends and it's just as good, waitstaff is great and keeps your glasses filled! read more

OK...this will be the last time I order from this location. I ordered a wild wok roll and hot and sour soup. Simple meal. The sushi has a hair in it and the soup crunchie chip had a fried paper towel in it. So grossed out. read more

Been to Wild Wok a handful of times and it's consistent. Lunch is cheap. You can get two meals for under $15. They are fast too. If you need a quick good lunch, this is the place to go. Also, this last time our server approached my husband and I and said, "Hey! Long time no see!" Shows how often my husband goes here with his family. I wish I can remember the server's name (I'm terrible with names) because she's always so sweet. read more

Probably the last time our family gets food from Wild Wok. Over the last two years we'd eaten in the restaurant and have taken out food. The service was normally good and the food was okay. Tonight we ordered three entrees, two with steamed rice and one with lo main. We also ordered three wonton soups. I requested a five pm pick up, and was told it would be ready a little earlier - no problem. At about 5:10, an employee finally arrived in the reception area and I requested my order. About five minutes later, it arrived, all in one large paper bag. I carefully placed it in my car so that it wouldn't spill over. Arriving home, I learned that one of the soups had not been properly sealed, and there was a mess on my car seat. Also, the bottom of the paper bag had been soaked and failed when I picked it up. We also learned that our two orders of steamed rice didn't make it into the bag. The food quality was below average - I wished I'd ordered from one of the 'fast food' Chinese restaurants in the area, and definitely will next time! Recommend avoiding this restaurant. read more

I come here for sushi and love it. I alternate getting the california roll, eel roll, tuna roll and spicy tuna roll, def recommend to ppl who love sushi! read more

Possibly the worst Asian food me and my wife have ever had. We ordered take out, with myself having the shrimp fried rice and my wife had the sesame chicken and fried rice with 2 egg rolls and a cup of shrimp sauce. We didn't even get the shrimp sauce, they charged us for it but forgot to place it in the bag (probably my fault for not double checking), but that's not too big of a deal compared to how bad the food was. The egg rolls tasted old and were rubbery and really chewy. The shrimp in the fried rice was over cooked and not good and the rice tasted as if it was cooked in week old oil, it was just not good at all. My wife had the sesame chicken and the sauce was so thin and like pure liquid with little to no sesames on the chicken and just had a weird alcoholic type flavor to it that's a bit odd to describe. Overall, just flat out not good. Complete waste over over $30, for food that we could not even finish eating as we straight up just had bowls of cereal for dinner instead just to get that taste out of our mouths! read more

I typically love this establishment , BUT tonight I came to dine with a group of my friends and we were treated with nothing but disrespect. Our waitress was extremely rude. First, when I asked to order my food she did not seem to grasp what I was saying and acted very condescending towards me saying that I could not order what I wanted. Next, she spills soy sauce all over our table and splashes it ON my friend and doesn't bother to say sorry or clean it up. She came to our table maybe twice during the whole experience and did not even ask us if we needed anything. Overall, I was very displeased and expected more from the restaurant. read more

Wild Wok - a person sitting at a table with a glass of wine - Chinese Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

I came in with great expectations. I ordered sushi and shrimp fried rice. The sushi was warm and tasteless. I couldn't finish it. I have had sushi in so many different places around the country and I have to say this was the worst. So then the waitress comes to the table with the check and I tell her I never got my fried rice. I take the fried rice to go, no comp and we leave. A very disappointing visit, our first visit and our last. read more

Welllll I thought I saw it all!!....My mom ordered Tuna. They gave her the more expensive one(she ordered reg. Tuna) and the rice they served with it was hot. By the time my Mom got her Tuna it was cooked some and obviously old because let's be honest why would they give her the more expensive one unless it was going bad soon. She sent it back after eating 2 fishy tasting pieces. The manager argued with her saying they only got 5 back out of 8 and where did the other one go....he then proceeded to grab the TUNA OUT OF THE TRASH, PUT IT ON A PLATE, AND SET IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE TABLE!! They didn't comp anything off the bill and she ended up paying for that one piece of Tuna that was missing on top of the poor server having to pay for the bad tuna because they say it's her fault ‍ read more

love this place. the sushi SMACKS. service is always fast and good. my sister and i are here once a week

Our waitress was very kind and attentive and our food came out pretty quickly. Came here right when they opened so it wasn't busy. The crunchy roll, the pork dumplings, and the lettuce wrap was delicious. We honestly didn't care too much for the beef Lomein or the wonton soup! Will definitely go back and try more! read more

We have tried eating at Wild Wok three times... We ordered broccoli with garlic sauce. Our only request was to please cook the broccoli well done or fork tender. On each occasion the broccoli has been served luke warm and as hard as you might expect in an uncooked vegetable tray. We won't be back, three chances are more than reasonable opportunity to follow a simple request. Wild Wok takes rank among culinary disappointments. read more
