123Wok offers both traditional rolls (spicy tuna, California) and creative combinations. The rice is properly seasoned and the ingredients are fresh. The Nori Taco is a signature item — a cone-shaped nori shell filled with sushi-grade ingredients. Good quality for the casual, affordable setting.
Tips from diners
Try the Nori Taco — it's a signature item and a fun way to eat hand-held sushi.
123Wok's pad thai comes with reasonable flavor, though some reviewers find it slightly mild compared to authentic versions. The noodles are chewy, topped with peanuts and fresh herbs. Available with chicken, pork, shrimp, or vegetarian. A solid option for those new to the cuisine.
Tips from diners
Request the spicy version if you like heat — the default mild won't satisfy experienced pad thai eaters.
123Wok recently added ramen to the menu with both pork and seafood options. The broth is simmered for depth, the noodles are properly chewy, and the soft-boiled egg is cooked perfectly. Toppings include green onion, sesame, and nori. A newer offering that has been well-received.
Tips from diners
Order this with a cold beer as a weekend comfort meal — it's warming and filling.
Start with tallarín (crispy noodles), udon, pad thai noodles, or jasmine rice. Pick protein: chicken, pork, shrimp, or tofu. Add vegetables from the selection, then choose sauce: Thai sweet chili, soy-ginger, coconut curry, or lemongrass. Everything is wok-cooked to order in minutes. Popular with busy diners and those with specific preferences.
Tips from diners
Request extra sauce — the default portions are light. Ask for spice by name if you want heat.
Go for the vegetable-heavy combinations with tofu and a light sauce — many diners build 60% vegetable bowls.
A fresh poke bowl with high-quality tuna or salmon marinated in a soy-ginger base. Served over jasmine rice with fresh vegetables and a drizzle of house sauce. The fish quality is good and the bowl is customizable with different vegetable options. A lighter lunch alternative.
Tips from diners
Mix all ingredients together to distribute the marinade — don't eat it as separate components.
