This is a great little stop in on the main road. It is express Chinese but tastes like you went out to dine. The owner is a world traveler and does not mind answering any of those so many local questions we have. Loved It!

I visited here with my friends and was not feeling well(super hungover) A very nice woman who I assume was the owner was very kind to me and helped boxed up my food to eat it later. Fresh Asian fusion with seared tuna was the best meal I had in jaco.

I really dug this joint. Came back 3 times during my stay in Jaco. I was actually a bit surprised how decent the food was; I didn't think in a little town in Central America that you'd be able to find good asian cuisine but I found it to be extremely well done, & I'm a harsh critic because I...

Overall, food is very good; many choices of noodles, rice, meats and sauces. All good. You might want to ask for less noodles or rice as they are large servings.

Sitting here in Jaco, last dinner of our CR trip before we depart. We are Chinese descent and decided to try that Wok place in Jaco we drove by so frequently. Very tasty and eclectic fusion Asian food, surprisingly they have chinese sausage too (lop cheung, locally made). Food is cooked to order, you select noodles/rice base then the main... More

This restaurant offers exceptional food from a proprietor-chef who clearly understands how to coax the maximum taste from everything on her menu. Rice-bowls with meats are something of a staple in Costa Rica and are seemingly on everyone's menu; that being the case it took me a while to stop at The Wok, even though the local word of mouth...
