Ballards Wok
Description
In a vibrant culinary scene, a restaurant has garnered mixed reviews for its vegan offerings. While some patrons laud its extensive menu and consistently fresh dishes, others have faced alarming service issues. Notably, a significant error occurred when a customer received real chicken instead of vegan options, raising serious concerns about food safety and dietary respect. Additionally, the much-criticized vegan sharing platter, featuring an overwhelming amount of chips and mysterious fried items, marred the dining experience for some. Overall, despite certain flaws, the establishment remains a favorite for many who appreciate its commitment to vegan cuisine.

Was Elsie Griffiths at Ballards Wok a mag?
I've been getting food from here for a few years and never had anything other than good food. Even my omni family eat all vegan food instead of meat. Usually busy on week nights, but never a problem. Never had a bad meal, always comes hot and fresh. Huge vegan menu. View all feedback.
What Samantha Mason dislikes about Ballards Wok:
We ordered vegan chicken balls, but instead received real chicken. We initially thought we made a mistake and believed they could only send vegan options as a replacement.

I’ve been ordering food from here for several years, and I’ve always had fantastic meals. Even my non-vegan family prefers the vegan dishes over meat.

It appears that some staff believe honey is vegan, unfortunately. This is an update from my previous review dated July 23, 2022.
I'm surprised by the negative reviews. I often order vegan food through their app, and the process is quick and easy, with consistently great food. Updated from my previous review on June 2, 2022.
We ordered vegan chicken balls and was sent real baby murdered chicken when we rung we was questioned as if we was wrong and thought they could just send Vegan chicken balls to replace them even though I had eaten one and was sick to my stomach I I’ve been vegan for seven years without eating any murdered babies I can’t believe the attitude when I can’t understand how this could even happen if this was an allergy issue somebody could have died but no it’s just a moral issues so nobody cares. #Veganuary
