The Wok Wok restaurant is situated in a great location, near the cross roads of Battersea Rise and Northcote Road near to Clapham Junction. It was always somewhere we have pondered going to but never quite made it, probably because in this area there are so many other restaurants and bars around. However, last week, after checking out the menu and finding it could definitely be classed as a “cheap eat”, myself and my friend thought we would give it a go.

If you love Asian food then this is the place for you. With an extensive range of Thai and Chinese dishes on the menu costing as little as a fiver, (with lots of options for the vegetarians among us too) this is a cheap eat that cannot be missed.

Well the way to my heart is with food, so being greeted with a huge basket of prawn crackers and dip whist choosing our food was a real winner and meant the place earned points before we’d even started (even though I couldn’t eat them being a vegetarian and all). Still I love it when restaurants give that little extra to please their customers, it doesn’t take much to give that personal touch and goes a long way.

I had the cashew nut, tofu and vegetable option which looked fab and I was surprised to find came as quite a hearty portion for under a fiver! At that price it was great – not massively flavoursome but I think I am being a little picky there. (Be careful when ordering vegetarian food as like any real Asian food place they add fish sauce to most things – just mention that you would like it taken out).

My friend however went for the chicken pad Thai which was done with the chunkier style noodles and came on a massive plate. At £5.50 – what a bargain! She seemed to enjoy it.

All in all this is a definite recommendation for somewhere to eat on a budget. For two drinks, and two main meals (beware of the service charge on top mind you) it came to just £16 in total. The food and service was good and to end your true Asian experience they finish your meal with a fortune cookie or two. But the beauty is this meal didn’t cost a fortune!!!
