History

Ours is a story of travelling and exotic flavors. Some years ago, during an adventure trip around Thailand, we found our passion: street food. For weeks, we had the most delicious woks cooked in these rudimentary kitchens were you could feel the fire in your face. The freshness, the show, the freedom and exotic flavors totally got us. It was so REAL. Back in Amsterdam, we desperately sought something similar. We couldn't find any quick, healthy, flexible and affordable meals around. So, in 2004, we opened our dream restaurant where we could have it all. The rest of the story is as simple as our beginning: people loved it. Our concept was fresh and European customers' need for freedom big, so we started spreading the word. 9 years and 50+ restaurants later, we're still walking our way. And, of course, we keep travelling to Thailand, to stay in touch with our roots.

Specialties

Flexible, quick and healthy Asian fast food Take away Asian restaurant where you can enjoy delicious custom-made wok recipes for a very reasonable price. No matter what your lifestyle or special needs are, we have thousands of options for everyone. Vegan, vegetarian, meat lover or weight watcher? Yes, we've got you covered too! All you have to do is follow our simple 3-step menu where (1) you choose your base (different types of noodles, rice and vegetables); (2) pick your ingredients (vegetables such as broccoli, shiitake mushrooms or bok choy to name a few, and protein from tofu to beef, shrimps, chicken, etc.); and (3) choose your sauce from a wide selection of Asian sauces. This is what flexibility is about, right? Once you pick your recipe, your dish will be stir-fried in front of you in an open kitchen. Enjoy the flaming show! In less than 5 minutes from the moment you've placed your order you will have a delicious meal to enjoy in or take out. That's quick, huh? And last but not least, we cook with the freshest, locally sourced ingredients, use very little oil and never use MSG. So besides fast, our food is really healthy. That's pretty much what Wok to Walk is about: simple, good and convenient food for everyone!

Wok to Walk is an excellent food on the go option in a neighborhood that is filled with subpar lunch options. The place is small but has a few seats. All of the options are fully customizable. I...

I eat at one of these locations everytime I'm in NYC. It's so quick and convenient. I got the egg noodles with chicken, broccoli, and mushrooms with teriyaki sauce.

The service and speed here is excellent. Great spot for a quick lunch on the go. I enjoyed my bowl but wish there had been more noodles.
