Five of us went. We are mostly Asians. We ordered a few appetitzers and five entrees and this is the WORST asian restaurant we have ever been. 1. Quality: they claim that they use mostly organic veggies and most of their stuff is freshly made. The appetizers are mostly deep fried. When the five entrees were brought to the table,... More

This is hands down the worst restaurant I have been to in Charleston. Oh, where to begin..? The server was absolutely terrible. She may have been new, but there is absolutely no excuse for her service.. noone this incompetent should be serving food. I asked about their sake selection, and she responded "Sake..??" like she had no clue what it... More

I have been to WOK 3 times. The first time, they were out of sweet corn for the bowls. 2nd time, they were out of beef. This 3rd time, they switched the type of rice noodles they use and its nasty. They were mushy. I also asked for mushrooms in my bowl and only got HALF of ONE mushroom. Also,... More

Tried WOK 3 times because I like the concept and think it has potential. Unfortunately, they cannot execute. Food is inconsistent and subpar at best. They must intentionally turn off their phone during dinner service because it always rings and gives a "busy" recording. Poor service and overpriced. Try another spot for lunch/dinner. There are plenty of choices in Charleston. More

Food was okay...there were 5 of us at the table and while we all ate our meals, we all agreed that it was pretty average in terms of food. The service, however, absolutely killed our experience. Very sweet gal server whom was friendly but with only 4 other tables of folks while we were there she had an incredibly difficult... More

Sustainable foods meets charleston! Our entire experience at WOK was excellent. Best quality sushi in Charleston by far and a staff to match. Beef tataki, Sashimi platter, and some delicious chef special rolls- all to die for! Not to mention it is a GREEN restaurant, and all of the cool things they are doing to help the environment- this is... More

Terrible overpriced bowl of rice with microscopic bits of meat and vegetables (they were out of half of the selections), plus surly service and no liquor licenses on Sundays. I would never try it again. More
