As a HUGE fan of authentic Asian food and a foodie who loves things on the spicy and tasty side of the equation, I probably should have known better.
Wokinabox is a cute little place, the staff are friendly, the ingredients look all fresh and inviting, and the pre-set combos all sound good. The food is cooked right there in front of you so you know it's fresh and fast - but I've got to admit, it was really bland.
I tried the Beef & Black Bean Noodles and a Noodle Soup on separate occasions and both were miraculously flavourless. If you don't like a lot going on in terms of flavour, this is the place for you.
Personally, for $11.50 for a noodle dish and around the same for soup, you'd probably be better off grabbing some fresh ingredients from the Central Markets and whipping them up to your own tastes at home. read more
