I had the pleasure of being invited by WokBoys to try out different food from their menu. They are an Asian takeout🥡 restaurant located in Sheikh Zayed Road, and have a huge painting on a wall that grabs your attention and can be seen from a far distance.
The menu at this place was very limited (not a bad thing), and whatever you order is made to your exact preference. So, if you take a noodle box, you’ll get to choose the type of noodles, the meat they add, the vegetables, the toppings, and the sauce for the noodles (there’s rice as well). The best combination according to me is - Egg Noodles with Beef Sausage with Mushrooms and Mixed Peppers, with the Wok Special sauce, and topped with fried garlic — this combination was absolutely amazing and I loved it. We also ordered the jasmine rice, which didn’t taste good, and noodles with a pepper sauce and beef which tasted nice.
We also ordered spicy chicken wings — which was awesome and made fresh... but wasn’t spicy enough for me ( I’m Indian :P ). And for drinks, we got the coconut water, which was the perfect compliment to the spicy and flavorful food. The only problem I had with the food was everything was a bit too oil.
The price of the noodles is quite a lot if you’re just eating it alone ( AED 40-45 ). However I would suggest you to share the noodles, as it is very filling. Also keep in mind that the prices are on the higher side because of the location of the restaurant.
The service was very good, waiters were friendly, and helped me in deciding what to order.
And finally, the ambience, which was the biggest let down. The ambience is the main reason I don’t give this place a 5/5. The place was very small inside ( I don’t suggest to do dine in here, there’s not even enough place for 2 people to comfortable eat ), moreover there wasn’t proper air conditioning inside. But what was even more disappointing was when the cook was cleaning the wok and utensils, a lot of water was leaking to the outside seating area, which I was rather surprised by. There’s an outside seating area though, but in the summer heat, I don’t suggest to have the food outside.
Overall this place was very good, and perfect if you’re ordering from here — you can be satisfied if you order the preferences of your choice, and make sure you get their coconut water while having the noodles :)
