Wok Inn

As a resident in Sarasota for more than 8 years now, Wok Inn has taken a special place in my childhood memory. I explicitly remember, years ago, that we would have dinner at Wok Inn every Sunday. It's a small, family-ran, business, but the work is well organized. Their service was excellent and have special treats for my brother and I. Even during the pandemic, they were one of the only restaurants to remain open and maintain their food quality. I understand that there were a lot of changed, we could not dine in for nearly 2 years, but just the sheer difficulty to operate a restaurant when public health safety is a concern is unimaginable and their ability to continue to cook delicious food is nothing other than the work of God. They had the door blockage for a long time and only offered take-out. It was amazing that despite being muffed in a container for more than half an hour, the flavor of the food was still mouth-watering. The texture of the dish and temperature would definitely get a little mushy and cooled, but hey, you can't do much about thermodynamics and osmosis of something after it has been sitting in the container for half an hour. Till today, Wok Inn still is my go-to place for Chinese food in Sarasota. To be specific, American-Chinese food. While yes, it is not authentic, but that's pretty much a common factor in all Chinese restaurants in a city without a large Chinese population. We have seen some changes like their "Get something free when your order is ..." and the changes in dine-in. They've removed most of the tables for dine-in when they re-opened back in 2021-2022 and progressed into a "Take out only" restaurant. You can still sit down and eat, but they do not offer any dine-in service like before. Anyways, this is a review from a customer who had 8 years of experience at Wok Inn, and I'm telling you that the quality and deliciousness of their Chinese food has been consistent as it was 8 years ago. They've become like family to me and always welcomed customers whole-heartedly. Thank you guys SO SO MUCH for being part of my life and I wish your restaurant and family nothing but the best in the future.

This is a take out restaurant. You can eat right here but the interior is very scarce and not very inviting. The food though is amazing. Absolutely fresh, tasty and big portion size at a fair price. The chicken is just perfect! Got a free drink and spring rolls with my walk-in order that took less than 5 minutes for them to complete. You can order ahead though. Again, I definitely recommend takeout.

I’ve lived here all my life and this is the best Chinese food I can find. They recently made their egg foo young sauce even better!! So if you haven’t tried that yet, or tried it before and weren’t a fan. Oh mannn! Idk why someone was hating on the egg rolls, those are always crispy and delicious. Fried rice is actually fried rice. I can go on and on. Do yourself a favor and try it out!
