It 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
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...

The waitress snapped at me for asking her if there was MSG in the pad-thai. My friends and I just walked out.
3rd 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!
Went to Wok on Downie before a theatre show. This small diner was very clean, simple table and chairs , and the food was very tasty. we ordered spring rolls, cashew chicken and shrimp pad thai, all freshly cooked and a good portion size. The waitress was very friendly . There is no alcohol licence , so we had soft... more
My wife and I love this place. The food is incredible and the place is very clean. Only place to eat for us.
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...

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...

We 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
I 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.
5 of us arrived for lunch - 2 vegans, a diabetic and a low sodium - each with unique food needs. We ALL had a tasty, nutritious lunch served freshly prepared with light sauces and tantalizing tastes. The owners were friendly and attentive - thank you for all the ice and water. We lingered for a long visit and thoroughly... more
We are from Stratford and enjoy Wok on Downie every week! Great food with a warm friendly atmosphere. Our favorite dish is the Ginger Chicken - hold the veggies! Always made with fresh ingredients. Thanks for the good food!
My wife and I ordered several dishes for take out. We arrived just before closing, and the owners accommodated us in a friendly and gracious manner. Our dishes were prepared with fresh ingredients and came in more than ample portions.
We 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
My family had lunch at Wok on Downie. The owner was very friendly. The food was excellent especially the dumplings. We would recommend this to anyone. No MSG and all fresh ingredients were very much appreciated.
We 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.
I've never had Pad Sea Ew before. I really enjoyed it. It's too bad we went here on our last day in Stratford otherwise I would have eaten here again. Great place, great atmosphere!
second time we've been there, great food, probably my favorite in town. have tried a bunch of the menu, no msg, i've been full for hours afterwards both times, can't wait to go again
Delicious, fresh, and reasonably priced. The staff is attentive and friendly. A great choice for a quick meal before a show when time is tight. Do make sure to save room for the coconut ice cream for dessert!
I'd go every day if I could afford it, their food is great - fresh, yummy and f.a.s.t. Not licensed so definitely a great place for families. Cook and server are delightful!
My husband and I went today and loved it!!! Place is nice and clean, people is really friendly and great service, food was amazing!!! We are definitely going back and for sure all our friends will know about how great it is!!
I cannot rave enough! Sparkling clean, fun and friendly service. The food is delicious, fresh and made to order. spiced perfectly and no MSG.
Will make a return visit before leaving town!!
I 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. Many restaurants cause her blood sugar to sky rocket but the Wok on Downie keeps her... more
This 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. My friends and I ordered several different dishes and then... more
The soups here are delicious -- particularly the wor wonton, which is a full meal in a bowl. Food is authentic Thai.
I have ate at Wok on Downie several times since it opened last year. In that time it has become my favorite restaurant from here to Toronto. The menu is simple. The atmosphere is unique. You simply place your order at the counter take your drink and find a seat. Every single meal has been served hot and during my... more
Maybe 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
the menu was very simple, so you don't spend much time looking.
it wasn't long after we ordered that our food came. i got the cashew chicken, it was very simple and tasted good. the staff were very friendly.
it didn't cost much either, so good value for the budget savy person.
Chose this restaurant because it is rated # 1 in Stratford, how can you resist that ? It was my MIL's birthday and we wanted a casual place with good food so we decided to try WOD. We certainly were not disappointed. I have written many reviews and I can't say that I have ever written anything about the owners... more
Visited Wok On Downie for the first time this weekend. My expectation was not disappointed at all. We were all very delighted for the freshly prepared msg free dishes. Everything was steaming hot and very tasty with the perfect mix of spices and seasonings. The service was very attentive from both Yui and Brian. They definitely showed that they are... more
After reading the many wonderful reviews of this place my husband and I recently ate there. We were both so impressed!!! I had the Wor Wonton soup and the bowl is huge. It was not greasy like some others I have had in the past. It was full of veggies, noodles and the best pork wontons I have ever had.... more
Went 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.
I 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. The prices are really low especially since... more
Do yourself a favour and try this restaurant. Great food served hot and fresh and always with a huge smile. Curry's are fresh and delicious and fantastic Pad Thai. There is no better asian option in Stratford.
Best asian food in Stratford, hands down. Lots to choose from, great flavours and all served up by two of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. I can't recommend Wok On Downie enough.
Had lunch today with my Mom and my sister for my birhday
The owners /chef/hostess/were two of the nicest people we have met anywhere and the food was outstanding
We had a lunch special which was Spring Rolls and a delicious large and very filling soup(sorry cant remember the exact name) and it was perfect for a very cold wintery...

Great 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!
Service was great! Food was wonderful, pad thai I think was best in Stratford, had some spice unlike some others in town, very very friendly owner, on his personality alone i'd go back but food puts it on the top
My 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!
Fantastic food and very reasonable. Two thumbs up!!!
Operated by the owners which means a great deal after you have become accustomed to the chain restaurants. Friendly service, delicious food, great value!
Perfect for any family meal or a quick business lunch.
Enjoy!
I live in Stratford and have dined in every restaurant here and this is the only one that I try to get to weekly. Yui and Brian (owners,cooks,hosts they do it all) are wonderful- as soon as they see me I am greeted with a smile and a "was the food hot enough last time". I love all the dishes... more
The food was lacking. Not bad for small town Ontario. Tried takeout this time. Maybe next time we will visit in person
It is great getting to know you and seeing the passion that you have for your business. We have been in a few times this summer and keep working our way through your menu.
It's certainly not the fanciest restaurant in town, but I would highly recommend it, if you want great Thai food. I ordered the Bancock red curry chicken and it was awesome. Perfect amount of spice and heat. It will be back for sure to try some more items on the menu.. or maybe have the same thing again, it was... more
I travel a lot for my work and ever town I stop in I go to a Thai place to eat. I have tried literally hundreds of Thai restaurants across North America. This Thai place is hands down the best. They made everything from scratch. My pad thai was amazing. The portions were great. Lots of food. I recommend this... more
If you want authentic cuisine at a great price, look no further than Wok on Downie. The food is fresh, hot and fast whether you are eating in or enjoying it in your own home. Our family would recommend the Ginger or Lemon Chicken or Drunken Noodles. The warm welcome you receive from owners Yui and Brian, adds to the... more
My husband and I enjoyed a lovely meal at Wok on Downie on Friday night. A fantastic meal. My husband had the chicken wings they were tasty and meaty. The wings had more meat on them then any chicken wings we have had before. I had the pad thai and loved it.
I have been a regular customer at "The Wok" since it's inception. The food there is fresh right out of the wok with very little wait time. It would be great to have a beer or a bloody mary with the meal but, they are not licensed. I can overlook that though because of the quality of the food. The... more
I have had the pleasure of dining at wok on downie twice so far this year and both times my girlfriend and I have left very satisfied.
The atmosphere is very comfortable, warm and ideal for a dating or family dining experience. To say the food is delicious would be an understatement, the pad thai and beef lo mein would...
more
I'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

I paid almost $30 for won ton soup and beef lo-mein. By almost I mean $28 and change.
