The Magic Wok is a real gem, the food is Fresh & so tasty. You get to pick out your own ingredients, and the food is then cooked right in front of you in no time. If your in a group it makes for a very enjoyably experience. With a wide range of vegetables and meats, with the choice of... More

We went to this restaurant after being recommended it by a friend and it did not disappoint! It was so much fun picking out your own ingredients, and the food was cooked right in front of you in no time. All the ingredients were very fresh, wide range of vegetables and meats, and unusual meats that you may not have... More

Love this restaurant. The food is always fresh, great variety and plenty of it, just remember to weigh your selection before you hand it to the chef in case it becomes more expensive than you planned. I think its better priced than other restaurants especially if you put loads of seafood in your tray but at least you get to... More

Great concept for a quick flavoursome meal, but can be a little pricey if you get too enthusiastic about what you might like to try. Somewhere to go and... More

This is my favourite restaurant in Darwin. Its in a nice quiet area behind the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The idea behind it is you grab a tray and on 1 side you select your veges- expect buk choy, onion, ginger, pak choy, tofu and other asian goodies- and on the other side you select your meats. They have everything from... More

I like this place as you make what you want and the whatever sauces, best to get a variable deal and not go to greedy on the first plate. Venison, buffalo, camel and seafood. YUM More

Chose all your meat- even buffalo,deer, crocodile and seafood, veg and array of sauces to be cooked behind the glass by chefs who take 2 minutes. You pay by weight of food, so watch the heavy foods. Always love going back. More
