Rang at 8:45pm and no answer and then rang at 9:05 sorry we are now closed but website states till 9:30pm?! Will take me business else where

INCREDIBLE. Super authentic hidden gem. Chinese students come here to dine, the staff are very sweet, and the portions are MASSIVE. We had the mixed dry hotpot, green beans, and hot and sour soup. I have a massive appetite for rice but I couldn't finish my one portion of rice, and we packed SO much to take home. Definitely come with friends so you can try loads of dishes. I WILL BE BACK.

I like to be pampered by my surroundings when I go out for a special meal, which I always hope a two Michelin star restaurant is going to provide. In this occasion you walk into a noisy room and are immediately taken downstairs for the start of your ‘journey’ to, as has been described previously, a shabby bar, where you are offered a range of champagnes. There was no ‘would you like a drink in the bar first, or shall we take you straight to your table?’ and no choice of aperitif offered. This felt like unnecessary pressure (given the cost is already £220 per head) to spend more money. I also suspect that our table wasn’t ready as we then waited some time in the bar perched on uncomfortable bar stools. When we were taken to our table, our ‘journey’ was explained to us and the meal began to arrive. Everything was described in detail - what order to eat things in, which cutlery to use, and we were corrected if we were seen to be doing it ‘wrong’. The presentation of the food was exquisite and the work which went into its preparation and the staff required to maintain this standard is evident. The ingredients are undoubtedly of high quality. Each of the six ‘courses’ comprise an number individual mouthfuls, all beautifully explained, the region, the composition, spices, etc. At the end of the day, did I enjoy the food ? It was certainly interesting and I enjoyed some components more than others and, as I have already said, the work which goes into such beautiful food and presentation is clear. However, for me, I would rather have a few more substantial dishes, where I can really taste and appreciate the flavours, than 30 mouthfuls, each a lovely bite in itself but quickly forgotten as the next morsel is presented. Was it worth the money ? For the food - probably; the ambiance - no. It was an interesting experience but I wouldn’t return.

We chose here because we had a nice meal last time. Bitterly disappointed as food was luke warm and poor quality. Crispy chicken in orange sauce was however divine. Just a verbal apology notany discount or freenies for waiting over an hour.

The food was just average, soggy chips, prawn crackers soft. The mixed appetiser was good and chicken dishes were okay but not the best unfortunately.

The salt and pepper sui mai was brilliant would recommend. Spetial fried rice is absolutely amazing would have for sran again 😋. The owners are very friendly and talkative. My dad goes so much that they know his number and call him by name wen he calls 😅😂

As always Hot Wok never disappoint, great tasting food, the chicken ball quality has never been better, so much meat, and for me, such great portions, there are always plenty of leftovers but, again, that would depend on how much you eat! And I stated the meal was early, the delivery time was between 65-80 minutes, it arrived after about 55-60 minutes, we are very close though!

Once again received a sub standard meal from this establishment. On more than one occasion we have ordered from here and received a good meal. On other occasions we’ve ordered again, expecting the same standards but we’ve been disappointed. There is no consistency in this takeaway and it is like playing Russian roulette. Spending over £45 a time, it’s a lot of money to waste on poor food. We will not be ordering from here again.

Very poor service as they will only deliver when the restaurant is not at all busy- declines my order every single time.

Service is fantastic,staff are all really friendly and the food was excellent!

Food was ok could do with cooking chips abit longer as some was still hard

Ordered food direct via Web site for delivery. Working our way through the menu. The food is tasty and good value. If you like Chinese this is the best in Ripley.

First time trying this place. Been local for 22 years and can happily say this will be my new go to restaurant :)

Francisco offered great service! The food was very tasty.
