Wok Chi

A contemporary neighbourhood Chinese and South East Asian kitchen, Wok Chi has quietly become one of Harborne village's favourite places for a freshly cooked takeaway. It is a genuinely family-run operation, and that care shows in food that arrives full of flavour rather than swimming in heavy sauce. The welcome is warm, the menu roams confidently across Chinese and pan-Asian classics, and there is real thought given to vegan, vegetarian and egg-free diners, not always a given at a busy takeaway counter.

Crispy wontons and gyoza make a tempting start, while mains such as Singapore Fried Rice, firecracker ribs and chicken in spring-onion and ginger sauce show off the kitchen's range. Everything is cooked to order, which is part of why locals rate it so highly, a remarkable 4.8/5 on Google across several hundred reviews. For anyone in this pocket of south-west Birmingham craving dependable, fresh Oriental food to collect or have delivered, it is hard to beat.
