New to area, first time customer. Nice little restaurant. Staff very friendly and helpful. Ordered General Tso Chicken Pork Lo Mein Steamed Dumplings. Egg Rolls Our meal was good and we will return. Only a couple things that kept us for giving 4 stars. More of a personal preference thing. (I'll be sure to mention when we order next time) Gen Tso had more sauce on the dish than we like, (but sauce was good not as sweet as others) Lo Mein actually was a little dryer than we like, could have used more sauce). But again, good flavor Dumplings very good. Egg Rolls very good and loved that they were not greasy at all. Big bonus points! We will be regular customers. Regarding covid regulations. Yes enforced all regulations. Had a very good pickup system allowing safe delivery. We'd recommend you give them a visit. read more

I have the generals's chicken. My girlfriend had Kung pow shrimp. We ordered this everywhere all the time and order from Wok & Roll many many times evidently they are spicing their food to cater different people as it was so spicey hot that we couldn't eat it. We threw it in the trashcan spicy hot. I know it says spicy. I understand general tso is spicy not so spicy that you can't eat it very disappointed. Also the printer ink was so faded I couldn't find my order and the not so nice guy running the counter helped me. read more

My husband and I ordered pork spareribs on the bone. They were overcooked and burned also ordered steamed dumplings, which were good pork fried rice, which was OK and shrimp roll which was greasy. Also ordered pork lo mein. Order came to $33. We never received the pork lo mein, and the server at the front when he was called said he never put the order in for it. We noticed all of their prices have gone up significantly, and the quality of their food has gone down significantly. Very sad. read more

I got food poisoning shortly after I ate here. Sick as a dog for hours. Can I say absolutely, it was their food? Not really, but I won't be back...EVER. read more

The food was good and a great value. However, the young man who was working the front could not speak English and could not understand my name and the order to which it corresponded. He handed me a very small bag which must have contained a burrito . I ordered General Tzo's chicken. When he finally found the other order he wanted me to pay but I had already paid online. The men working in the kitchen translated and finally waved him to hand me my order. Not such a big deal but it did take some time, time which I did not want to spend but since due to this delay, I missed the appointment and decided to eat in. The floor was dirty, having spilled and dropped food which trailed to the trash can. Food from other patrons was strewn over the floor. read more

My Uncle Bryan that just had knee surgery and this restaurant turned him away from using their phone during the storm yesterday after his car got flooded and he was stranded and walked there weeks after full knee replacement. They treated him like trash as well as some of the customers. All he wanted was to use the phone to call the police to report his car getting flooded in the storm so they would know where it was and that he wasn't missing. And they would not allow it and trash talked him along with some of their customers doing the same to him. Mind you he was also a paying customer. This is the man that will give his life to save a stranger and has never turned anyone away when they needed a helping hand. Whoever the owner is might want to get new staff. Roads closed dead phone. Walked in the pouring rain to get there. read more

The food is good but not worth the woman at the cash register biting your head off and spitting it back on you. indochine in Southport is a better choice. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews but very disappointed tonight. It's been a while since I've had Chinese so looked forward to our take out. I ordered MooShu Pork which was just ok. The pancakes were awful. The noodles for soup are stale as well as fortune cookies. Husband ordered Garlic Chicken which he enjoyed. Left egg roll out of our order we did not go back to correct this. Service was fast but most probably will not go back. This is not the first time I have been disappointed here but the first time I reviewed. read more

Not courteous counter service. Can't even imagine what chicken parts they used in Szechuan dish; nothing I could recognize. No knife for eat in. One of group found egg foo yong tasty. Very very limited selection of drinks. read more

If you are desperate for Chinese food then this is your place. The crab ragoon was ok. The orange chicken was way overcooked and the fried rice was dry. read more

Horrible service took almost 2 hours to get my food on Christmas Eve. Along with so many others, we all spent hours in this place after the tool our orders and money. They said it would be 20 minutes and then blamed everyone else. read more

Fast local take out or eat in store front, I have found this place to be unpredictable some times it's a 4 star otgersca 2.5,. Beef on a stick is good, lo mein, rice. Other items can be hit or miss we keep coming back so it's worth the try. read more

Wok & Roll - Beef on a stick, shrimp Lo mein general taos chicken - Chinese Near Me - Bolivia, North Carolina

Wok and roll is fantastic, not sure why so many negative reviews. Food is always fresh, delicious and fast!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! On the Wok & Roll website..reviews say. Best Food..Great customer service. NOT TRUE. Not sure who was paid to say that but if I had read true reviews, we would not have eaten here. If the meat is imitation then it should be advertised as such. ED soup was like jello. Lo Mei noodles were supposed to be vegetarian & had 3 different types of meat in it..noodles tasted like the meat.. Egg Rolls are more like spring rolls & not even good spring rolls. My husband's shrimp & rice was decent but everything else went in the trash. 42.00 for the worst Chinese food we've ever had. Hope this saves somebody's stomach. read more

Unfortunately, this was my first time here. A few observations egg rolls were pre-cooked sitting in open containers as well As Pre-cooked poultry uncovered. The egg rolls were burnt that I ordered. Not very tasty. The restaurant dining area was a disaster, flies everywhere, trash overflowing, tables dirty. Staff did not seem concerned. Not going back. read more

You can't go wrong. Just come at lunch time and see the people waiting for delicious chow.

First time and last time. Greasy, soggy fried dumplings. Mongolian beef was like soup, not sauced but sitting in a large pool of liquid. Fried rice had a strange flavor. Not friendly, no greeting, no thank you, no good bye, despite leaving a tip for takeout and seeing signs on the wall about being joyful, thankful, happy, etc. read more

Decent chinese food considering its the south. Being from NYC i know what good chinese is. Its worth it

This place has such terrible service. They food was so cold and nasty. The workers were so rude I will never be coming back here again.

This used to be the go to place for take out for us. Always fresh and hot. Then one day I ordered a pile of veggie rolls to take with me. When I went to eat them the veggies were all rotten - like freezer burnt and reheated. I'm sure they were just preprepped and frozen and it may have been a mistake - but it was every single one of 6 of them. It was disgusting. So we don't order from there any more. read more

EXCELLENT!! In town for some work, i was a little hesitant because of the other reviews but figured i would take a chance and try it. Glad i did! Very good, will be back! read more

Wok & Roll - Sweet and sour chicken and Hibachi chicken. - Chinese Near Me - Bolivia, North Carolina

Not a place to eat in, no napkins. My husband order beef and Broccoli but was given broccoli and rice only. Lady was super RUDE and Argumentative!!! We paid 35.00 for three combos. This restaurant has zero atmosphere! Save ur money and buy a frozen dinner from Lowe's foods read more

Quick service with takeout. The food is always good. And the menu is extensive. I hope the stick around for a long time, it's the best Asian food in the area. read more

The food is great, the only knock on this place is it's always busy and the service is a little discombobulated. I highly recommend them however read more

Recently ordered fried dumpling. Half the size and twice the price from last time I was there. No more.

I went to Wok & Roll for the first and last tine today (1/3/2020). I arrived around 4:30 PM. It wasn't very busy and only a few people ahead of me in line. I saw the 96.5 rating and thought that was a pretty good sign, but I noticed neither the cook or the lady working the counter were wearing caps or hairnets. Then I saw a guy that was sitting at one of the tables go into the kitchen and start getting raw food out of containers without gloves and without washing his hands. Nope! No can do! I might budge a bit on the missing caps and hairnets but I ain't eating anything after the dude's dirty bare hands been handling it. They can cook it in a 600 degree wok but I ain't putting it in my mouth. I left without ordering. Just couldn't do it. read more

Don't go. Tried their food 3 times over the years, hoping for improvement. No such luck. Why there isn't a good Chinese restaurant in this area baffles me. read more

Horrid, expensive and questionable quality. Order screwups common and we're done with them!

I've mulled over posting this for a few days, but the bottom line is this is as important to share here as it would be the review I planned to write. On Monday I had business in Brunswick County, which meant I could order some of those amazing crab rangoons made by "Wok and Roll" by Waterford. I'd only had them once before, but they were amazing and I've been searching for someone in Wilmington who made them as good and I've never found anyone who has. I was very excited to order the crab rangoons. When I got home I ate one and it was as delicious as I had remembered, but then I ate more, and much to my shock there was something sharp and pointy in my mouth. It wasn't like a bone, it was odd so I took it out and there was an industrial type staple! Thank God I didn't swallow it. But this was unacceptable. I phoned the restaurant, she remembered me being there and buying the crab rangoons. I told her about the staple and I told her I took a picture and could send it to her, I must say she really did not appear surprised or apologetic. I got another number so I could shoot over the picture but she told me she believed me. That was nice, but that was all she said. I didn't hear back until the next day when she said to give her a call. I texted her back and told her I was very disappointed that she did not make it a priority to get back to me that very night, or offered a refund my order cost, or anything! But while I was waiting for her to offer me a refund or some kind of remuneration it was plainly evident that this could happen to someone else. A friend had also ordered from there and she told me that when they got theirs the box had been stapled shut. In hasn't noticed that. When I looked at my box it too had been stapled shut, and consequently what I think happened was that the person stapled right in to one of the crab rangoons and when I opened the box not knowing, or expecting there to have been staples, the staple was in side the crab rangoon and I didn't see it. Many people eat food from this place, and their food is good, however this is dangerous, it's a dangerous practice and people who visit here who don't know to look for staples in their food before they eat it could very well end up with large hospital bills to fix their stomach, intestine or wherever the heck that's staple would go if swallowed. I have a feeling I'm not the first person who's had this happen but I do want to be the last. Please take a minute to think through what you would have thought when a staple ended up being in your mouthful of food. Possibly all Wok and Roll needs to do is invest in different containers so stables would not be necessary. I just want to share this to warn others about my experience at Work and Roll Waterford. read more

Wok & Roll - Staple in crab rangoon - Chinese Near Me - Bolivia, North Carolina

Surprising gem in the wild outback of Bolivia, NC. Yes, the crab rangoons are the best I have ever had! They're little flower-gems filled with a creamy crabby goodness that must be experienced. Yes, the red sauce which accompanies these little darlings are weird as all heck -- it doesn't stop me from dabbing each little bit of fried yum into the unknown dipping sauce. Sure, the "hot" dishes are not as spicy hot as I'm accustomed to, but, they were pretty spicy for the area. And while the sauces are a bit thicker than I like, the food is freshly prepared. The three times I've been here the service was always super-friendly. read more

See all

I avoided Wok & Roll due to its rating. After trying many places in the area it was my last resort. I was very pleased with the meal I got: the egg roll was crisp not greasy, the steamed wontons were done perfectly I had chicken and broccoli and it was delicious. Very happy to find a place that knows how do Chinese well. read more

This place is a waste of money! Their crab rangoon are so huge and disgusting I will never order them again from there. It is literally like they do not care if your food is good or not. I feel like they seem to think there are the only Chinese restaurant in town which they are close. No more chain Chinese for me! read more

I wish I didn't have to give them any stars. We've been to this location many times and they haven't been great but do to the fact they're the only Chinese place around we keep going back hoping it will get better. Tonight we got home with our food only to realize that two main components of our meal was missing, meaning that 3 family members wouldnt be eating. I gave them a call to tell Them what happened and she laughed!!! Infuriating. She told me to come back and get the missing pieces but by that point the time I got back home the rest would be cold. I asked her to refund some of my money which she refused. This place doesn't care about customer service at all. I won't recommend this place to anyone. read more

I ordered the beef and broccoli, and my plate came with complementary cockroaches on the side. also this place is extremely expensive and the floors were filthy. Hence the cockroaches.!! read more

I LOVE Chinese food. I was lucky enough to work 2 years in San Francisco just blocks from Chinatown. We literally ate in Chinatown every day. Of course, that sets an incredibly high standard. However, I have also had reasonable Chinese food in Evansville, Indiana, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and even North Ridgeville, Ohio. Sadly, the shrimp in lobster sauce that I ordered was completely bland and flavorless. The only saving grace was that this was take out so I could doctor it with Asian spices I had at home. There are other Asian restaurants in the area that serve much, much better fare. Skip Wok and Roll. read more

No stars. Zero! This place is terrible. I should have looked closer at the health score and reviews before going there. The health score steadily drops proving that the owner and staff do not care about quality of food, cleanliness or health of patrons. I ordered food to go. Paid. Waited at empty table while food was prepared. Looked more closely at dining area and was simply disgusted to think the kitchen must not be any better. The place was closed for over a year during Covid you would think they would have cleaned the place once. There is a lifetime of dust and grease on every single dining chair and table base. The floors look like the have never been mopped and maybe swept weeks ago. Seriously? I know, I should have cancelled my order but I gave benefit of the doubt and took my purchase home. After opening the box and taking a few bites, threw it directly in the trash. Egg rolls soggy and greasy, all items were fried to oblivion and the smell of burnt oil wafted out of the container. My guess is that the oil hasn't been changed probably ever based on the smell from one to go container and my clothing from being inside this nasty place. Inedible. Waste of money. Just plain disgusting. This place SHOULD be shut down by the county. The score of 94 is extremely generous. read more

Ordered from here for takeout. Chicken chow main was bland and soupy. Sweet and sour chicken was doughy and in flavorful. Did not receive the egg rolls ordered. Didn't notice they neglected to pit them in the bag until home. Will not order from them again. read more

We just arrived at our hotel and were starving but had a short time to eat. I honestly wasn't expecting a lot but this place did not disappoint. The General Tso's chicken was hot and freshly-made with more broccoli than you find most places. We also had garlic beef and egg rolls. Both were also freshly-made and tasty. Would recommend! read more

Never again. I ordered "Sweet and Sour Chicken", and while that was about average, the included eggroll was not edible, so it was thrown in the trash (I can get better in the frozen foods section at the grocery store). Wife ordered "Chicken Chow Mein", and again, while that was just average, the included Won Ton soup was tossed in the trash. I don't know about others, but I don't like paying for food in a restaurant, only to end up throwing it out. No way we'll be back, and I recommend finding some other place, like Asian Taste in Southport, as it's much, much better. read more

Restaurant Style: Chinese Takeout   Last Visit: 05/17/19   Ambiance: although this is an order-from-the-menu-at-the-counter kind of place, they do have a few nice tables to eat-in. Be warned, they'll bring the food to you but the plates and cutlery are all styrofoam and plastic. Drinks come in cans and bottles.   Service:  Prompt, courteous and helpful.  They will not really wait on your table other than to bring out your food.   Food: There is an extensive menu of takeout standards such as General Tso's chicken, egg rolls, Moo goo gai pan, wonton soup, etc. For beach vacationers, you can get most anything to take back to the rental. Some things they do very well including hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, shrimp rolls, crab Rangoon and-that old standard-chow mein. It took me years to perfect Crab Rangoon at home and Wok and Roll has these 3-inch crunchy stars holding gushing cream cheese and begging for the sweet dipping sauce. I'm jealous. I like hot and sour soup and test it everywhere. The version here warms the lips nicely with a spiciness that you do not have to pay for all day. Sauces seem light and supporting rather than pasty and clinging. Some items (shrimp rolls) work better than others (vegetable spring rolls). Also available are several steamed plates (mixed vegetables, chicken or beef with vegetables, shrimp with vegetables) and fried American staples such as wings, shrimp, chicken nuggets, scallops, crab sticks. This is the the kind of place that fills up at lunch with all the construction guys laying pipe and building houses for hot food and lots of it. Try here for the quick in and out.   Food for the non-Carnivore: They will prepare most entrees without the meat.  There are some vegetarian items such as vegetable delight, bean curd Szechuan, eggplant in garlic sauce.   For Kids: No dedicated children's menu, but you ought to be able to come up with something from all the options.   Difference Dividend: Explore the Hibachi Grill-style items.   Hours: Monday through Thursday 10:30 AM - 10:00 PM, Friday and Saturday 11:00 AM - 11:00 AM, Sunday 11:30 AM - 10-00 PM, but always call first because this is the beach and too many places put out the "gone fishing" sign.   Expense Account: Figure about $10 each.   Adult Beverages: none. read more
