for anyone giving a thumbs down, you have to click it twice or it doesn't work!! great review guys, so nice to see a place improving and getting far more popular, it was rammed in there, and great to see all ages enjoying the atmosphere! this place is REAL Asian fusion with plenty of Chinese/Japanese/Thai choices, just a thought, have you tried asking for the shrimp with the heads removed?, i'm sure the Chef would would sort that for you Tim Ok Colin, been to Thailand 23 times and Massaman is one of my staple meals out there along with Khao soi, (chicken and veg with noodles and crispy noodles) and guay tiao gui (noodle soup with chicken), i have never seen Massaman served like that although it looked a great way to present it!!, the best Massaman i eat in Thailand is cooked overnight and is beautifully rich! the Pad Thai looked perfect, as you know it has to be served as soon as it's cooked otherwise it gets sticky (probably what failed you last time) i would definitely eat in that place five stars from me!!!
Thanks Tony! Tim is going to ask for his prawns to be shelled in future (if he remembers!}. The Wok Inn has a real Asian atmosphere now, we loved it. Thank you for recommending those dishes to try next time we go to Thailand, although that's probably not going to be until 2026. You could be right about the Pad Thai Tim had last time, it didn't look anything like the one he had this time or, indeed, any Pad Thai he's ever had 🍽️👍😃
Great review of a really good restaurant. We went a few years ago and loved it. Really like your shirt Tim. Better restaurant review than most restaurant reviews. Well done.
A great review as always, Colin and Tim. I ate at Wok Inn earlier in the year, completely agreed with your first review and didn't intend to return. It's great to see that improvements have been made to give customers a better dining experience and I'll definitely be trying Wok Inn again on my next visit to Blackpool!
Cheers Janet! You must have visited The Wok Inn about the same time that we reviewed it the first time. Honestly, we were amazed by how much better it is now 🍽️🩷😁
It looks really nice, I like the decor too, as well as the look of the food! The prawns looked great, I don't mind the heads, the way they were presented with the seaweed & lime was nice..in fact all the presentation was lovely...and another fine shirt from Colin there!
Waitress, can you show my children where the toilets are? Err... Well... Umm... You do have toilets, don't you? Err... Well... Umm... Waitress, are you okay? Err... Well... Umm...😧
Hi Colin and Tim Well firstly how good of you both to give the Wok Inn a second chance it really was. Well changing management has certainly worked here. Tim's Prawn starter looked really nice, but Tim your going to have to get over this head thing, if they came out naked they would not have the wow factor (No innuendo meant here) Colin a Hot wing starter, well i never saw that coming (Not) but im glad you loved them. Tim your main Pad Tie dish really did look good, it was clear a lot had gone into its making and presentation, that shows the new owners care. Collin you main i thought looked really spectacular, and i was really impressed with the whole thing, but im not surprised you could not it it all. As for your end Drinks, (and i don't mean the coffee) they were to die for clearly. Guys i really enjoyed this vlog, your both stars. Chris. 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
Hi Chris! Thank you for your lovely comments. Tim just had to remember to tell the wait staff that he doesn't want any undressed prawns on his dinner 🍽️ The hot wings were the one thing Colin liked from his first visit and he was keen to see whether they were still as good 👍😊 xx
I went here In July the starters was lovely but I wasn’t too keen on the main I had Thai pad it was bland you get lots of food tho it costs over £200 mind you that was for 4 of us
Hi Elaine! We're not sure when the new owner took over The Wok Inn but she did tell us they have a new chef. The Pad Thai that Tim had was really nice. Maybe it was the previous chef when you were there in July, Elaine 🩷👍🍽️ xx
Well done to the staff for such a large improvement. Colin & Tim you should be proud of yourselves that the manager used your 1st review to train the staff and ask you to do a second one. XX
That's right, The Wok Inn is now owned by the same person who owns The Mandarin. It was particularly noisy on the night we filmed the review because there was a large table nearby with several children. The mum actually apologised to us when they left! 😀👍
@@thechatterguys so it's coyote ugly next Dad the dish should open a place on front just deliver to tables loads of hotels u have been too offer breakfast to none residents the village area loads of food Options Most trouble is too much drink
If only restaurant prices were the same in the UK! We thought the bill was about average for the quality of the restaurant in the UK 🍽️😀🌞 Where do you live in Thailand, Stephen?
OMG.. this is Blackpool. Those prices are crazy, £90.00 for a Chinese is a joke, it's not that expensive in most places in London, don't care how good the food..I am no skinflint, but I know what goes into these dishes and that's a rip-off. Love you 2 but come on lads, that's outrageous, for a few chicken wings, a couple a prawns, a plate of noodles and a curry that was mostly salad and rice., no sides, nothing..We won't be going there..
Hi John. Thank you for your comment. We thought the price was about right for the standard of the restaurant. Blackpool has a range of restaurants from the cheap and cheerful to fine dining. The price we paid was similar to the first time we reviewed The Wok Inn and we didn't even like the food on that occasion 😝👍🍽️
Food looks nice but sorry i wouldn't pay anywhere near that, and to pur service charge on top of over 8 quid is scandalous i think, Blackpool it is mun , i would never pay it, too many people in there as well for me at the moment. Sorry lads
No worries, Fran. The Wok Inn was noisy the night we were there and that was mainly down to one large group with several young children. It was significantly quieter when they left 😄 Thanks for your comment xx
@thechatterguys yes I did notice that it was a bit too roudy really, not the kids fault but it did seem quite tight. Glad you both enjoyed. Can I ask do they put a service charge on everything in Blackpool now? I think that's wrong, you should only give a tip for good service and food, if not I certainly wouldn't.
No, not many restaurants make a service charge in Blackpool. We think 🤔 the service charge is only obligatory for groups of 8 or more.. Otherwise, we understand that it's up to you whether you pay it or not 🩷🌞🫰
Hi Tim & Colin, glad you went back for redemption, everything looked delicious x
We are too, Nicole. We had a lovely time 😄🍸🍽️

Looks like a really nice restaurant.
I'm very pleased the new owner has turned things around. Kudos to him.
Thanks Nigel ❤️ (The new owner is a lady 🤠) xxx
Great video fellas, massaman is my favourite. Love the word pogged, its one abuse regularly 😂😂
Cheers Green Team! Pogged is a great word, isn't it? 🍏☘️🧟
@thechatterguys love it😃

Great video chaps!
Hello, Travel Honestly. Like most towns, Blackpool has its share of excellent cafes as well as the bad xx
Great video guys....top lads😊😊❤❤❤
Thank you Peter 🩵❤️🩷
Have to agree dont like my fish looking at me and an absolute outrage mr Colin not sharing those chicken wings lmao xxxx
Thank you, Clark! Colin's so mean, isn't he? 🍗🍗🍗
The décor looks nice not sure about bench seats bit pricey but might give it a try when in Blackpool next 🍻
Hi John. We're not keen on sitting on a bench either. There were chairs at the tables for 4 people 🪑
This place looks a good visit. The portions looked a decent size and better than the King or Roti wow 👌
We loved it and the portions were very generous, Rob 🌅👍😎
Can I ask. Was the meal comped?
No, Travel Honestly, the meal was not complementary 👍❤️🌞
@ that’s makes your review even better. Thanks for another great video!
@TravelHonestly Thanks TH!
Another great video, do you live in Blackpool?
Hi Kyle. We would love to live in Blackpool! We live in Leeds but we visit Blackpool as often as we can 😎👍🩵

@ it did look lovely and the restaurant looked lighter because when I went it was really dark I was struggling to see the menu
Ha ha! We remember! Tim had to put the torch 🔦 on his phone to read the menu the first time that we went to The Wok Inn! 😆 xxx
@ 😂😂
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE GOT TO GIVE BUSINESSES A WARNING THEN SIT BACK AND AND WATCH THEM AMEND THEIR WAYS, ALTHOUGH IT WAS A BIT ON THE PRICEY SIDE.
We've been pleasantly surprised at the number of businesses that have made small changes after seeing our videos. Cheers Michael! 🤠
The toilets ...oh whats that...looks like a giant nob😂😂
Ha ha! 🤣 It made Tim feel a little inadequate 😆
lol what was that in the toilet, it looks like one of my toys. 😊
🤣 We don't know whether to be shocked or impressed, Mercury! 🤪 xx 🩵🩷❤️
Hi guys nosh away, love a Chinese ❤
Cheers Marc! 🍽️🦇🍗
Another excellent video and review👍. Never had real Thai food but it did look superb..Wee bit pricey for me but I'm a tight Scotsman🤣.. Thanks again 👍
Cheers Brian. It was a bit more expensive than we anticipated but we had an excellent meal 🍽️😋
Well done to the staff for such a large improvement. Colin & Tim you should be proud of yourselves that the manager used your 1st review to train the staff and ask you to do a second one. XX
Thank you Dave 😊
I couldn’t be doing with all those kids!!!
Hi Top Boys. They did make a racket but we couldn't hold that against the restaurant and their mum did apologise to us when they left 😄🍽️❤️
It's Clifton Street Chinese owned good location
Food has to be good so much comoetition

Food looked good but definitely overpriced i live in thailand that food would be under a tenner good watch tho 👍👍
If only restaurant prices were the same in the UK! We thought the bill was about average for the quality of the restaurant in the UK 🍽️😀🌞 Where do you live in Thailand, Stephen?
Hi lads i live in Udon Thani north thailand
We haven't been to North Thailand yet but hopefully one day we'll make it 🌞
Much prefer their other restaurant around the corner Michael Wans
We love The Mandarin too, Packaging Man. Both restaurants now have the same owner which is probably why it's improved so much(in our opinion) 🍽️🎇👍

@@thechatterguys£90.00!!!! Lordy that’s completely outrageous guys 😳😳👋🏻
I agree to be honest and over 8 quid service charge! Taking pee
@@franmiller5573 and this is Blackpool!!
Hi Paola. £90 is a typical price for good restaurants these days ❤️
What you doing tonight for Halloween?
Colin's been dressed up all day in a suit with skulls 💀💀💀 all over it and tonight we went to the new Popeye's which has just opened near us 🍗🍗🍗
@thechatterguys you like your Popeye's don't you it's not the sailor man if that's why you keep visiting 😉
No. We haven't seen any sailors in Popeye's ⚓⚓⚓
Food looks nice but sorry i wouldn't pay anywhere near that, and to pur service charge on top of over 8 quid is scandalous i think, Blackpool it is mun , i would never pay it, too many people in there as well for me at the moment. Sorry lads
