The Magic Wok, on Exeter’s bustling Sidwell Street, is an excellent place for lunch or dinner in a stylish and informal setting just a few minutes walk away from the city’s main shopping area.
Proprietor/Chef David Jim is proud of the regular clientele base he has forged over the 10 years he has been there and his bar manager Louise has been with him for nine years.
He knows he has regular customers and changes the “Tonight’s Special” menu at £17.90 per person each week, encouraging his diners to discover the true taste of China and Thailand. Chef’s Recommendation Special Set Dinners can accommodate 2, 3, 4, 5 or more persons.
Vegetarians are also catered for and there are a number of English dishes available including fillet steak (£10.90) and sirloin (£8.90), both served with chips and vegetables.
Every Thursday evening customers can choose from a sumptuous buffet for £10.50 containing a wide variety of Thai/Cantonese and Chinese dishes and special theme nights are held at times like Chinese New Year (Feb 9, 2005). A comprehensive list of quality fine wines is available to enjoy with your meal and the bar is separate to the restaurant so pre-dinner drinks can be enjoyed relaxing in comfy sofas.
Bookings are advisable as David is very popular, not only for his food but for his friendliness and good humour that makes you feel very welcome. The Magic Wok also operates a Take Away Service available from 5.30pm until midnight Monday to Friday and until 1am on Saturday.
A delivery service is available within a two-and-a-half mile radius.
