Been waiting to try this place and went a couple of times when they opened but the restaurant had a long wait. We came back again on a weekday and there was ample seating. Ambiance - pretty good, well maintained. Food - super meh! Starters - cauliflower manchurian which was good, the sweet and sour soup was average Main course - veg hakka noodles with chilli paneer. We hated this so much i just didn't end up eating. The taste was totally off, very powdery like I could taste the uncooked flour (cornstarch, all purpose flour to thicken the gravy) not sure what but it was pretty off. Service - we didn't have anything to complain about the service. Overall, we are just going to go to their other restaurant Persis which actually has better tasting chinese. read more

Good: Food is good here. Bad: Food order takes lot of time Ugly: Staff will be waiting to argue with customers to vent out their frustration. I think by far this was the worst establishment in the entire United states where I had such a bad experience. Updated after owner comments: Alright I did not want to go in detail but since owner posted the narrative. This is what happened my end. We went in lunch time ordered the food. Like I said before food was good. We decided to order one more dish which took long time to get prepared. After waiting with no food in sight, we decided to just pay and leave and the staff said here is your order while we were walking out. I asked to cancel the order. I was expecting ' no sir we can't cancel' instead the staff said. ' what should I do with this ? I said "keep it" and their response was "you can't talk like that. this is not a McDonald's where you can just say keep the food. It takes 40 minutes to make the food". He was talking in the same lines for next few minutes. I think other tables can vouch for the tone he was talking those things. I could have been more argumentative to his comments but instead kept my calm and paid the bill and came out. I think the argument itself was unwarranted for. Either you cancel the order or you don't cancel the order and charge for it. To the owner I would like to say that , I think the staffs outburst was unwarranted. That's not how you treat your customers. He could have just said sorry I can't cancel the order and that would have been the end of it but the staff wanted to teach me a lesson seems like for asking to cancel the order. You go to any decent restaurant out there and play the same scenario , the waiter would either say "sorry for the delay sure I will cancel the order" OR "sorry for the delay but we can't cancel the order as it's ready now" and charge for it and that's it, that's the end of it. Anyway I thought I was just a scapegoat for the person's frustration that day. Maybe some other customer some other day. read more

Got a to go order from here for the first time and it was really good! We called in an order of Szechuan noodles and Hakka noodles and it was ready in 20 min. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was so delicious. Both dishes packed so much flavor! Since we love spice, they even gave us chili sauce and spicy vinegar. Yum! read more

We ordered the Non-Vegetarian Family Combo. While the hot and sour soup and garlic burnt rice were below average, the chicken entrées were good. However, I am disappointed that the quality does not justify the price they charge. read more

Food, even mild, was too hot for any of the 4 of us including our son in law who never has anything that's too hot, The service was ok but very little English by our server,anyway so no explanations, no suggestions. It was such a disappointment as the heat made the food inedible. The ambiance is great and they had a good number of diners but everyone we've talked to says the same thing "too hot" there should be SOME things for spice averse but LOVE things in wok. It's too bad as we recently moved to Cary, NC & they're about 10 minutes from home. read more

One of the worst tasting food I've had in a restaurant. Cumin Lamb and Lamb fry: both dry and hard. Ramen: made with instant noodles and flavorless broth. Price was already high and now it just seems ridiculous for the poor quality food we received. Service was polite but you have to pour your own water. Stay away. read more

This place has such a deceptive practice Will take orders and when you get to the place to pick up the order after driving 25 min the owner will just lie in your face and say that the kitchen is closed Also the front desk person who actually looks like the owner kept on insisting he never took an order when I. Fact there were two other parties standing there facing the same situation as ours. Will not recommend this place at all Try some other place read more

Disappointed with the quality of food we got today. Below are the items we ordered for my SILs bday lunch. Chicken manchow: average Veg manchow: average Crispy chilli water chestnut: this was the only good dish that deserves the rating given. Or else it would've gone to a 0 star rating Veg dumplings: possibly the worst momos we've had. It was so disappointing and had some strange flavor in it Drums of heaven: could mainly taste chunks of batter... though the dish wasn't bad it wasn't amazing either. Cauliflower manchurian gravy Black pepper chicken gravy: average dish. The gravy part was very watery Paneer 65 fried rice: by far the worst paneer 65 fried rice dish. Paneer was so dry. The rice had jeera, mustard seeed and curry leaf flavor ONLY. We couldn't taste any indo-Chinese flavors. Though I understand paneer 65 dishes have a South Indian touch but it almost tasted like we ordered a Chettinad style rice dish instead of indo-Chinese and it was terrible tasting Singapore noodles: this dish deserves minus rating. They basically gave us sautéed veggies in Singapore noodles with a touch of turmeric powder and salt. It was so unappetizing that we need to fix the dish tonight to eat it for dinner again. Not sure if we'd go back to this restaurant after a terrible takeout experience. I called the restaurant for feedback but the employee was arguing that this is how their "medium" spice dishes taste. read more

Great flavor! The dry cauliflower manchuria is a great appetizer. I try to get here for lunch a couple times a month. Spice level is a little tame, so if you like the heat, order extra spicy. I'm working on a plate of the black pepper chicken and enjoying every bite. If you like flavor, you will not be sorry you stopped by. Enjoy! -wescom read more

I have decided to update my review today after calling the resturant. We had a 7.45 p.m. appointment yesterday for dinner. It was a table of 4, the service was okay (they are under staffed and hirng) but the food was good. Unfortunately, my husband forgot his Ray Ban sunglasses at the resturant after dinner and we remembered after the resturant was closed. Not blaming anyone for our mistake, but I called them at 12.14 pm today to speak to a owner or manager. The lady who answered the phone said, "they are not here, you'll have to talk to me". I said sure, can I take down your name so I remember to say that I had a conversation with you when I call back. She became so rude and defensive. At this point, she doesn't even know why I am calling or who I was. I told her calmly that I am not accusing or blaming her or the restaurant, but just wanted her name. I am shocked and alarmed that she just hung up the phone after this. I might be wrong here but I think I spoke to the same server who attended our table yesterday (long hair, glasses). She said the manager will be here at 5 pm and owner is not there as well. How is this resturant functioning without someone being on top of things? This is so disappointing and sad, we just want to talk to someone to know if there is a chance to get our property back. I never got a chance to even convey why I am called. We are not blaming anyone for anything, there is no need for you to be rude and hang up. What kind of resturnat doesn't ask the person who picks up the call to give their name? I am offended and hurt. You will find my review on Google as well. I am giving review on both platforms so people are aware of my experience. I do not recommend this place. P.S.: I have emailed wokonfirertp@gmail.com about this. read more

There's finally a great Indo-Chinese place in the Triangle! If you're not familiar with Indo-Chinese food, it's literally a fusion of Chinese and Indian food. I grew up with these flavors and hadn't found a spot that did it so well. Some common Indo-Chinese dishes include Hakka Noodles, Szechuan Fried Rice, Manchurian, Chicken lollipop, and Chilli Chicken. Hakka noodles have a very specific taste that I haven't seen done right until I tried Wok on Fire. Their fried rice and noodles are amazing. I also tried the chilli lamb but the other two were much better. Wok on Fire is located in Parkside Town Commons in Cary! Make sure to specify how spicy you want your food. We ordered extra spicy and they brought the heat for sure! read more

This IS the best Indo-Chinese I ever had hands down! The server was excellent and we got our food very quick. I'm half asian so I know my asian food! The fried rice is the best I ever had next to my moms. The food was perfectly seasoned and needed no additional additives. The prices are a little high but very much worth it. They give you plenty of food for the cost!! Kudos to this place and now you will have a frequent customer. THANKS!! read more

We went on a Thursday night, and there were not many people in there, which was a real shame, because we had a great time. Our server, was a little reserved, but warmed up to us as the night progressed. Now on to the food and drinks. The margaritas were lit. My husband had the mango and I had the strawberry. They tasted amazing, nice cold, and packed a pretty mean punch for a frozen drink. As for the food, we had the lamb appetizer, chicken curry, and hoku noodles. The lamb was amazing, though a bit on the spicy side. The Hoku Noodles were very flavorful. I would recommend mixing with the sauces they provide for extra flavor. The chicken curry was very tasty, as well, but word of caution the mild is still a bit hot. Overall, we had a nice time and we will definitely be back. read more

Beautiful restaurant, and the dishes were delicious and very flavorful. We had the cauliflower appetizer and the shrimp Thai curry. Returning tonight to sample new dishes, but would also re-order either of the aforementioned dishes. read more

The food was average! Service was fast and friendly! The ambiance was average! I would not go back.

This is our third time ordering from this place, and every time the food has just been too spicy to consume. We ended up having to eat a couple of bites and then trash the rest. We started with medium spicy and even ordered mild the next time to be safe but the spice level is just too much to take. I am a big info Chinese fan and was super excited for this place but sadly I won't be returning read more

Excellent, filling meals with delicious beers. Servers and hosts were kind and checked multiple times throughout the meal.

Best place for dineIn.. Really like the service and good. Friendly staff and manager. Best indo-chinese food in area

Chili chicken was fire !!!! The place for clean, servers were fast, fresh hot food ! I highly recommend this place ! Plus it's halal read more

Food was tasty, lovely ambiance service was good! Innovative dishes! Will take family again.

Another more than perfect family dinner at Wok On Fire! We have been there several times and each dish from each visit has been exceptional. Last night was no exception. We continue to explore different items off the menu, except for the Manchurian cauliflower, which we order every visit. It is that good! Last night also included the black pepper chicken, orange chicken, burnt tofu and Singapore noodles. The glitz and gleam of the decor is quite upscale. The staff could not be more professional or obliging even to those of us who always seem to arrive awkwardly under dressed. read more

If you haven't tried fusion Indian - Chinese food, this is the place to go. The cuisine is definitely unique - as you would imagine a fusion between Chinese food with Indian spices. I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I liked it. I think it puts sweetened American-Chinese food to shame. I found this place to be welcoming, open, and with quick service. They have a sizable dining area and we didn't have to wait at all. The decor is a bit too jazzy for my taste. The waiters were polite and offered good service. Food was served hot. Food was very flavorful and on the spicy side. I would definitely ask the waiters for recommendations. read more

Have been to this place a few times. The food and service are mostly consistent. Would recommend the noodles and ginger chicken here. Only issue is that their level of spice in the food varies every time I visit. read more

Highly recommend! Very fresh and quick service. All the dishes were flavorful and they even were so thoughtful to bring my daughter ice cream for her birthday! If you like spicy there are plenty of options! read more

Very tasty food. Got the chili shrimp, full spice. Did not disappoint! The Momo's we got as an appetizer were also excellent.

People opting for quality will find this place sub par.This place is for quantity lovers rather than quality lovers. Ordered BURNT GARLIC CHICKEN FRIED RICE only to find only garlic in it and NO CHICKEN. When enquired with the server, the server was gracious enough to take our half emptied dish and return with the same leftover rice by adding few more pieces of chicken. The server was bold enough to come and enquire the service provided.we were quick enough to leave the place. We are not bold enough to recommend this place to anyone. read more

Highly overpriced food, few healthy options and a very snooty staff. I came alone soon after I moved to Cary and wanted a good healthy tofu dish. I asked for non spicy and the dish was actually very spicy. I had two fork fulls and had to leave the rest Wasted $20. If this is family owned they should be nicer to people who dine alone. And I overheard someone reprimand an employee out in the open. read more

Great food. Service was good too. The food portions were decent. We loved the garlic fried rice and the chili Chicken. Will go back again read more

I've been here three times, and each time was great! The service and food were consistently good. The cauliflower Manchurian dry is seriously fantastic. Tom yum soup and manchow soup were great. Kung pow tofu and a couple noodle dishes we tried were just pretty good, but still solid. The atmosphere is great - the place looks fancy on the inside but the staff are all friendly and I see families there plenty. The prices are good considering the quality and quantity of food. If this restaurant were in a more busy location, they would be way more well known, because it's a great find! read more

If I could rate them 0 I would. When we entered no one was waiting but we were ignored from the beginning. This should have been our first sign to leave. Once we were seated, menus were given to us but no explanation to questions that we had about the food were given, the waiter simply pointed to the menu. An hour later several tables had been seated, dined and left while no one offered an explanation as to why we had not received our food. We ordered almost identical to the table beside of us so it was not the complexity of the dish. Finally we were told our order had not been submitted. When we finally received it an hour and 15 minutes later, it was tasteless and lukewarm. We ate a few bites and asked for our check. No one asked about our food. They apologized only when they noticed the error and when they gave us our check, which they got to us in record time. They offered no discount and when we asked if they would consider they offered 9.50 discount off of a $100+ meal. So very disappointed, will not dine here again and certainly will NEVER recommend!!! The service was awful, food mediocre and prices ridiculous!!! The worst dining experience ever! read more

The mango chicken and orange chicken were absolutely terrible. Service was terrible. The only time I saw a server was when the check was dropped off. read more

From the looks and location of the restaurant, I would expect the place to be busy. Sadly on a Friday night they were not. It was a VERY awkward dining experience. I was expecting a Chinese cuisine based on the name of the restaurant but instead it was more of a fusion with Indian and some Chinese. With that mind set I would've been more inclined to try some of their indian inspired dishes rather than choosing a chinese dish. Definitely not my go-to asian cuisine restaurant. read more

The haaka noodles were tasty, but it missed the mark on ambiance. I wouldn't suggest this place unless you want a quick bite before heading to the movies read more

I continue to visit Wok on Fire in Cary, NC. Food is excellent. Service is Very Good. Staff is friendly and attentive. I enjoy it. And I will be back again very soon. This Wok Is On Fire !!!!! See you soon. Steve S. read more

Terrible food! I could give 0 star if I could. I ordered the chicken ramen and they literally gave me instant noodles with veggies from one of those Costco veggie trays. Carrots were not even boiled! It was worse than an instant ramen I bought. The cost was ridiculously high for something that could have cost me $2-$3 at home. Service was sub par as well. read more

This is some elite indo-chinese food!! I have found that compared to the standard Indo-Chinese you can find in India, indo-chinese in the US tends to err too close to either the Indian or the Chinese side. These guys strike the perfect balance! I have never been able to satisfy my cravings for true black pepper chicken for ages, until now! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Very excited to add WOF to our standard takeout rotation. read more
