Posted by The place with the coolest graffiti in town, Wok Boyz will definitely surprise you with their menu and value for money. I was lucky to have visited both the branches in Internet city and Sheikh Zayed road. If you are looking for a peaceful spot to relish your food choose Internet city branch. Here you can order your food and carry it outside. And it works perfectly for a family with kids as they can freely run around. Since the temperatures are still on the bearable side, you can drop by for a late snack or dinner.
The one on the Sheikh Zayed road is tucked away in a corner, but they made sure you don’t miss it with the bright graffiti which also doubles up as a background for intagrammable food or selfie shots.
Now coming to food the menu is compact and attractive. Being a fan of Asian food I look for restaurants that provide numerous options when it comes to carb, protein, veggies, sauces, and toppings. Wok boyz just fits the bill and has something for everyone. For starters, we ordered spicy Korean chicken wings and tum yum soup. The wings were crispy but a little salty but then it’s a personal thing; however the soup made up for it. It was perfectly balanced in terms of flavor and intensity.
We created our own wok taking into account the suggestions from the team. For my little guy, we ordered egg noodles with peppery sauce, mushroom, snap peas, baby corn, spring onions, and peanuts. My order included jasmine rice with Thai tuk-tuk sauce beef for protein, mushroom, corn, etc. The noodles were decent with perfectly balanced salt. But the high point for me was the Thai jasmine rice with tuk-tuk sauce. I just kept going for more even though I was full.
The portion size is pretty substantial that could suffice two adults. So we got it packed for takeaway. Chilled coconut water is a must to keep you hydrated.
Now if you are on Sheikh Zayed road and looking for a good value for money kind of Asian restaurant head to WokBoyz. The service is amazing, and the cute boxes keep the food warm for a long time.
