    House special lo mein
    Michael R.

    The Ocean Wok is back, as "Wok the WOK". We understand the original owners have returned in an attempt to restore the caliber of the food and dining experience at this long running restaurant offering Chinese American fare on Hampton Beach. We've gone to Ocean Wok over the years and found our favorites on the menu, including the standout "Mai Tai" cocktails. Over the years, things have slid downhill a bit, and I had high hopes for this reboot. Service as usual is fast and efficient. The menu looks pared back quite a bit, as we were looking for certain dishes, no longer offered. Our dishes were all hot and tasty, but nothing was exceptional. It's hard to compare to some of the Chinese restaurants in bigger cities like Boston, NY or San Francisco, as the menu and dishes are adjusted to please the local palate. With that in mind, I think this restaurant does a good job. If you are visiting Hampton Beach and don't want the usual fried dough, pizza and other fast food, this is a far better and enjoyable option.

I ordered a dinner plate with honey chicken, beef teriyaki sticks, boneless spare ribs and pork fried rice. To start the pork fried rice was hard and truly felt as though it has been sitting out for 3 days. The plate came with two beef teriyaki sticks and they were by far the smallest beef sticks I've ever got from any Chinese restaurant. The spare ribs were edible however not a large portion by any means. The honey chicken... it could be just me but I've never had anything like this before. It tasted like sugar granules in an overbearing sweet sauce covering undercooked chicken fingers. Truly the worst item I've ever received from any Chinese place before and that is saying a lot. I also ordered some scallion pancakes and they were so hard to bite down it felt like i was going to break a tooth. Everything i ordered wasn't fresh at all! Do yourself a favor and stay far away from Asian Wok Express!!! If you're in the hampton seabrook area i would recommend wok the wok on hampton beach!

Ordered over the phone bc DoorDash was a bit expensive. I appreciate the price point and I loved the drunken noodles. The only mistake made was that it was not ground chicken with a chicken basil dish, but I still loved it and the Thai iced tea just really hit the spot. We brought it back to our hotel and it was the best meal to get over some jet lag. I'll definitely try to return when I can!

    Highly Recommend This Restaurant!…read more We absolutely love Thai food, so we decided to stop by and give this place a try--and we were genuinely impressed. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. As soon as we arrived, she treated us to four complimentary vegetable spring rolls, which were absolutely delicious. We ordered the Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and Papaya Salad. All three dishes were outstanding--full of flavor, perfectly seasoned, and very close to the authentic local taste we experienced while eating in Bangkok. The restaurant itself has a warm, cozy atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable right away. We will definitely be coming back to try more dishes from the menu. If you're looking for authentic and delicious Thai food, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

The sauce is a warm, soy‑brown sheen rather than a syrupy glaze, which tells you the cook favored balance over theatrics; the vegetables still hold color, the shrimp look springy not puckered, and the proteins sit in the mix instead of hiding under a puddle of sugar. That visual honesty is already half the meal. On the palate it's a study in contrasts handled with restraint. The noodles have a slight chew that says they were finished in the wok, not boiled to oblivion; the shrimp and chicken show quick sear marks and keep a clean, saline sweetness; and the bean sprouts and peanuts deliver the bright, brittle punctuation every good stir‑fry needs. The sauce leans savory with a modest sweetness and a faint tang -- I'd bet on rice vinegar or tamarind playing quietly behind soy and a touch of palm sugar -- and it's used sparingly so each component still reads on its own instead of being smothered. Technique is obvious without being showy: a hot pan for that wok‑kiss, timed addition of the sprouts to preserve snap, and a final toss that glosses rather than drowns the noodles; there's no greasy residue, which means oil was measured and the pan was properly hot. This avoids the usual sins: limp noodles, cloying sweetness, and rubbery shrimp. My one small gripe is a missing bright note at the finish; a thin shave of citrus or an extra hit of acid would have sharpened the edges and made the whole thing sing louder, but that's a tweak, not a correction. What I appreciated most was the humility of the execution: no unnecessary garnishes, no gimmicks trying to outshine the basics, just clear attention to temperature, timing, and texture. It's the kind of plate that makes you relax into the meal and then quietly judge the rest of the menu by whether the kitchen can keep this level of craft -- honest, balanced, and quietly excellent in a way that actually honors the technique behind it. If I'm looking for Thai in New Hampshire I would definitely come back here. They had a large menu of items that all looked really good!

    9 Dragons is the sister restaurant of the legendary Kowloon restaurant on Route 1 in Saugus, MA…read more While 9 Dragons was opened by the same family and still offers some of the same dishes as the original restaurant, this place is quite the glow up from the Kowloon in regards to the food, atmosphere and service. The restaurant itself is stylish and intimate. The space boasts eye catching decor from neon signs and a mahjong tile doorway to big murals and light fixtures in the form of umbrellas and lanterns. The menu is printed to look and feel like a Hong Kong Hollywood newspaper which I also thought was really cool. The menu here is smaller and more focused than the one at the Kowloon, but I did see that it still offers a handful of the Kowloon's signature dishes. In the case of this restaurant, I definitely feel that the limited menu is essential to producing higher quality dishes. We shared a scorpion bowl cocktail for two, which was served in a cute beckoning cat drinking vessel. For food we got the scallion pancake, the General Gau's chicken and the Brussels sprouts. The food came out about ten minutes after we ordered which initially made me a little bit nervous about the food quality, but once we dug in we could tell that the food was quite fresh. The scallion pancake was nice and crispy on the outside, a little bit chewy on the inside and was served with a ginger sauce for dipping. The Brussels sprouts were prepared Kung Pao style with peanuts and a touch of chili pepper. The General Gau's chicken was fried well, coated in a delightfully sweet and spicy sauce and topped with crispy fried rice noodles. We are just about every morsel on the plates. We knew had to save a little room for dessert here when we saw that they serve a giant chocolate dipped fortune cookie that they smash apart with a mallet right at the table. Served alongside some ice cream, the giant fortune cookie is a super sweet and fun way to finish your time here. Additionally, it came as a pleasant surprise when our check came and it was not quite as high as we were anticipating, especially when you consider that the restaurant is housed inside of a casino. All in all, 9 Dragons left us with a great first impression. A great addition to the Seacoast.
