About Modern Wok

Located at 145 King St W in Toronto, Ontario, Modern Wok offers a distinct Chinese dining experience within a food court setting. Unlike typical food court Chinese options, Modern Wok presents a menu that leans towards more authentic flavors, reminiscent of Chinese home cooking. This means you'll likely find dishes that go beyond the usual Westernized fare, with reviewers noting the presence of unique items they hadn't encountered before.

Based on customer feedback, Modern Wok's menu is quite diverse and appears to change regularly. One reviewer highlighted enjoying fried rice mixed with fried noodles, Sichuan boiled fish, pork with mountain vegetables, chicken with mushrooms, fried cabbage and other vegetables, and dry pork ribs. The variety and interesting nature of the dishes seem to be a key feature, encouraging repeat visits to discover new offerings.

The absence of labels for the food items suggests a dynamic menu that evolves frequently. In fact, it's mentioned that even more dishes are available from Tuesday to Thursday, making those weekdays potentially ideal for a visit to experience the full scope of their culinary offerings.

While the taste of the food generally receives positive remarks, one review did mention an issue with excessive oil in the noodles and a high bone-to-meat ratio in the chicken. This suggests that while the flavors are appealing, there might be some inconsistencies in execution.

If you're a local in Toronto seeking a departure from standard food court Chinese cuisine and are open to exploring more authentic and potentially novel dishes, Modern Wok might be worth a visit. Be prepared for a menu that changes and offers a glimpse into the flavors of Chinese home cooking. You can reach them at (416) 364-3840 or +1 416-364-3840.

This food court stall is quite different from other food court Chinese options. They don't have the usual Westernised dishes but a more 'authentic' (the term is contested, but it will suffice for a food review!) menu & there was even at least one dish I'd never seen before. The flavours here are simpler, like in Chinese home cooking (versus what you'd get at a restaurant). Had fried rice mixed with fried noodles, Sichuan boiled fish, pork with mountain vegetables, chicken with mushrooms, fried cabbage & other vegetables & dry pork ribs; the dishes were so interesting that I added some on. The carbs were decent & the dishes were pretty tasty. The fact that they don't have labels for the items suggests that the menu changes regularly, so it should pay to drop by regularly as you'll probably see something new. I went on a Friday & was told that from Tuesday to Thursday they have even more dishes.

First time ate here last week. ordered noodles with chicken and veggies. Taste is good but the noodles are way too greasy. too much oil. Chicken I got was mostly bones. I guess for $13 you can't ask much...

Affordable Chinese meals available near St. Andrew station. Both the Szechuan chicken and spicy fish with fried rice tasted delicious. Although the egg noodles for the beef brisket noodles were slightly under cooked, the brisket was juicy and delicious with their light broth.

If you new in Toronto , travelling, or new arrived, just visit, have your big and delicious meal here. It is super close to Union station. On google map, the place is not right, you need to walk one more street and go down under the building. You will see the food cord. Super kind staff they have by far. Explained all food, offered me nice mix of food, and had a perfect one. There is plenty place to sit, bathroom and many other restaurants as well.

Run-of-the-mill Chinese food, just shy of being average. If you've ever been to Szechuan or any of the other chain restaurants that offer Chinese cuisine, that's basically what you're getting here. I got chicken/rice/noodles/veggies(85% onions, eww) and it didn't taste great. The rice stood out the most, reminded me of how my Haitian father prepared it when I was young. 3 Stars because of the nostalgic rice, otherwise 2. Edible but not worth the price tag (10 bucks). Save your money, there's much better out there.
