I've been here a couple of times for dinner and once for dim sum.
On both occassions, dinner was great and I found it better than Good Buddy (there was a time I frequented there just because of convenience).
The dim sum is made-to-order and is not a push cart systhem. With that being said, you can expect fresh dim sum that tastes really good. However, you will have to wait quite a bit. We waited about 30-45 mins just for dim sum. If you usually go to dim sum to have a quick brunch or you enjoy the hustle and bustle and loud socializing environment, Wok n Roll isn't for you.
Service was not bad on all the times I went - the only complaint that I have is how long the dim sum took. Otherwise, it is just like any other Chinese restaurant where the service is at it's minimum.
Expect weekend dinners to be busy but weekdays shouldn't be so bad. Dim sum was not busy at all.
Eggs, bacon, and toast? Pshhh, everyone knows that the best kind of brunch is dim sum. For me, dim sum is family time. And for the majority of our lazy Sunday outings, we find ourselves at Wok N Roll since it's convenient and relatively close by. Wok N Roll, besides winning the restaurant pun game, is more like your typical neighbourhood Chinese joint than a destination restaurant à la Urban China or Emperor's Palace. It's not fancy by any means, but that's the way I prefer it. Waitstaff who remember you, tasty food that comes out hot, and almost a peaceful atmosphere when compared to the hustle and bustle of other dim sum restaurants.
Dim sum here is great! I like the ordering style (instead of carts) because I feel that the quality of the dishes is better. They come out fresher and hotter and you get exactly what you want!
Food came out hot and the quality is superior to other dim sum places in the city I've been to. Meat dishes have lots of substance and not too much filler or salt. Lots of variety too, some dishes I've never tried and, of course, the dim sum favorites.
The price is also excellent, I would eat here again!
EDIT: Okay I also want to add that the service here is great, especially for a Chinese restaurant! Most Chinese restaurants, you expect mediocre service (scowling faces, rolling eyes, long waits) but the staff here are excellent! They smile, they're polite, they bring you anything extra that you need (hot sauce, water etc) quickly. Very impressed with the service here!
Best Chinese food in north side. After reading some reviews i can say the people that don't enjoy this place is because what they are ordering this is a chinese restaurant maybe try something else then the western chinese food and maybe try ordering real chinese food lol try the crispy garlic chicken with soy sauce best in edmonton dim sum is also very good
Love this restaurant. Never fail us.
Pretty good. Food was hot. Lots of food in the combo for one. Reception was really nice seemed a bit confused when I asked for cutlery for takeout
Authentic!. Very good, authentic Chinese food. The dim sum was excellent, and their buns are deliciously warm and fresh. I recommend dim sum and dinner here, you're in for a treat!
Came here on a sat night and it was pretty busy (good sign). we were a table of 4 and ordered the "meal for 6 ppl" for $148. pretty authentic chinese food. on ly complaint is the crab seemed a bit small, compared to other chinese places. the steamed fish and birdsnest dish were my favourite. overall would recommend. also dont forget to grab a free chinese calendar from wok and roll. nice fancy gold letters
Really busy but great food.. If you plan on having dinner here then you better decide on making a reservation or else you're going to have to wait awhile. Great food, wait time might be a little long, waitress should really clean up their act tho and be more friendly and warm.
We had reservations for 6 pm on a Saturday evening for about 20. Food was promptly served by 6:30 (the menu was picked days ago) and was ok but the staff was VERY RUDE because they rushed us to leave as soon as the last dish was served (about 8 pm). We were actually told by two different servers to finish up because there are people waiting. We were there to celebrate a milestone which was cut short as we did not have time to finish our cake. They had promised our tables to people waiting an hour ago. Beware.
