My favourite place is closed
February 03, 2014It looks like another really good place bites the dust in Stratford. My favourite place to eat was all closed up and a for sale sign was in the front window. After a quick search on Google I found the real estate listing for the business. So very sad. I hope the owners are okay and it wasn't something health... more

Simple and fast service
November 09, 2013
We went here for lunch on a Saturday. The choice is a bit limited, but in saying that there is enough on there to cater for most tastes including vegetarian.
The staff are attentive and friendly. From ordering our dishes were with us with 10 minutes and the portions are very generous, although bulked up a bit with vegetables. 2...

Rude Waitress
October 29, 2013The waitress snapped at me for asking her if there was MSG in the pad-thai. My friends and I just walked out.

Deliciousness
October 18, 20133rd time getting food here and I have yet to be disappointed! Got the kung pao chicken, it was extremely good and very spicy! Try to get a different item every time. My favourite so far is the war wonton soup and the amazing spring rolls. Can't wait to come back for something else!

Wonderful Friendly Service and Good Food
August 25, 2013
I chose Wok on Downie for dinner prior to one of Stratford's fine productions because it was so highly rated and I liked the price in comparison to other choices. They let you know up front that they do not have a liquor license which was fine for me.
My daughter and I really enjoyed their Cucumber Salad which I'm...

This is great for a quick fresh meal - lunch or dinner
August 18, 2013
We did take out; Yui's chicken Pad Thai and Kung Pao chicken. I enjoyed the Pad Thai. The Kung Pao was decent to good.
The food is freshly cooked (we got there early so waited for our order). Service was friendly enough although a little brisk - probably because they were busy? I do have to say the lady who...

Excellent choice for quick, delicious meal
August 14, 2013We visited Stratford last weekend for my daughter's 16th birthday (theatre and dinner) and since she is vegetarian we wanted to go to a restaurant where she had some choice in dishes (not just 1 token vegetarian option like most restaurants). We chose Wok On Downie and I am so glad we did. The service was fast and friendly, the... more

Fast Delicious Takeout
August 09, 2013I live in Stratford and have been getting takeout at the Wok on Downie every Saturday for the past few weeks. I like the Cashew Chicken the best with extra vegetables, mushrooms and no rice.

Yummy Pad Thai
July 30, 2013We ordered several dishes, but the Pad Thai was the best, with the Basil Chicken a close second. The entree dishes come with more rice than veg and meat, but all quite tasty. Our server was very friendly. Treat yourself to the coconut ice cream for dessert - it's to die for! Good value and prices in a city that... more

July 11, 2013We had dinner on July 11th prior to attending "Tommy" at the Avon Theatre. We both had Chicken Pad Thai and it was very, very good. We were asked if we would like it mild, medium or very spicy and it was cooked to our specifications! We will be returning to this restaurant again. Thank you.

June 02, 2013I think my wife and I have had pretty much everything on the menu. I must say everything we have had is top notch. Another interesting point is my wife is diabetic and every meal she has here does not effect her blood sugar.

May 24, 2013This was my first time in Wok on Downie. Upon entering the restaurant you could feel your anticipation building. It is one of those places that at first glance makes you think could be a dive or it could be a total gem. To my relief, it was the latter.

I have no idea how this is rated number 1 in Stratford
March 18, 2013Maybe dining at this restaurant during the early part of the week was not a good idea, but I really do not think the rice was fresh, it smelt funny, it kind of had an"off smell to it" maybe a sour smell is the best way to discribe it. I really think the food contained MSG as I received a... more

Mobile review
February 08, 2013Went there on a Sunday afternoon. We got cashew chicken and some beef dish. The chicken dish was good but the beef dish was much too salty. It was almost unedible, we didnt finish it. The spring rolls seemed ok but because they were kept in a cold fridge, it caused the rice wrapper to harden. The price was also high for a place that seems fast food style service.

A lovely Restaurant with Wonderful Owners
February 05, 2013I am a big fan of Wok on Downie. I eat there quite often. My fave is the Pork Dumplings, they are just delicious. The Cashew Chicken without Garlic which Yui makes as a special order is delicious. The portion sizes are enormous, I always end up eating 2 meals at the end.

Love this place
December 05, 2012Great place to eat. The Szechuan Pork is the best I've had. They make all their own sauces and I am totally addicted!!! The Cashew Chicken is my husband's favourite. I also suggest the Ginger Chicken or the Lemon Chicken...can't get enough of this menu. Having our Christmas Party there!

October 28, 2012My wife and I visited on a Friday at lunchtime and found the food and the service to be excellent. Large selection and quick service. The Pad Thai and Orange Pork was fabulous and the Owner/Chef was very meticulous with the preparation and quality that they offered. Great value and a lovely reastaurant, definately a return visit is planned!

Amazing spring rolls!
May 13, 2012I'll keep it short and simple... The beef lo mien was really good. The vegetarian spring rolls were awesome. The fried dumplings were not so great (I've had a lot of dumplings over the years as I travelled through Asia, so I admit I'm a little bit picky about dumplings). The ginger chicken was amazing. We did request that the spring rolls and dumplings be brought out first (like an appetizer),... more
