Urban Wok

Ordered online for 11:30 pickup. Food was ready at 12:05. I expected the dish to have pineapple based on the “Tropical Pineapple “ phrase. The sauce and dish did not appear to have any sweet or pineapple flavor. If you’re going to use the restaurant seating area for storage and boxes, you should consider using a curtain or something to block it. The two employees working seemed overwhelmed. Having a manager or owner around would have been helpful. I probably won’t return anytime soon.

I visited Urban wok, and let me tell you, it’s called “urban” for a reason—gritty and forgettable. I spent $20 here, and the food was so lackluster I wouldn’t even serve it to my dog. They threw together plain rice and grilled chicken, called it a ✨working cantina✨ dish, and somehow managed to make it the blandest meal I’ve ever tasted. No seasoning, no flavor—just rice with a drizzle of soy sauce and dry, uninspired chicken. I was so unimpressed that I planned to write this review right after eating, but my phone died, and I went to bed. I literally woke up in the middle of the night remembering I had to warn others about this place. The only redeeming thing? Their canned Arnold Palmer tea, which was honestly the highlight of the meal. Save your money and skip this spot.

St. Paul Urban Wok is straight-up awesome. The space has an AWESOME vibe—clean, stylish, great music, and just a great spot to post up for lunch or dinner and hang out. The team here is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about the guest experience. Food comes out quick, portions are generous, and the flavors are unreal. You can tell the sauces are made in-house because you can't find anything like them elsewhere....Out of control good whether you want spicy, sweet, or both. They also just locked in $3 tallboy beers.... Are you kidding!? Love what they’re building here—can’t wait to see more of these pop up around the Twin Cities!

Awful vibes. Arrived @10:10pm took a few minutes to find what we wanted, ordered @10:20pm. We waited for 30min, we left at 10:50pm. While we waited we saw them struggle to make 2 other orders and deny a doordasher. The woman who seemed to be the manager, kept being snappy with the other worker and sitting. Spent $46 for 3 things. Quality of food was very poor. Did receive everything. My stirfry was so over cooked it was a third of the togo cup. The staff was kind in asking if they forgot something. And then proceeded to inform me that they were two people short. Honestly if your restaurant is that short the owner needs to step up. That makes a poor environment for workers and customers. Will not be returning

Was looking for a place to write and I stumbled upon this Gem across from Union Station. I was blown away by the promptness and courtesy of the crew. Great food, great atmosphere did i say great food. Awesome workers as well. Keep building
