What Clients Say

My wife and I come here every time we visit Boise. The food is delicious. We like the funky atmosphere. It is like being in an antique shop. One elderly gentle man does everything himself. So expect to wait a little, but it's worth it.

Was looking for a noodle place that was closer to home. Called in an order for take away. Food was made fresh. The gentleman making our food was a sweet old man. Got home and had the most delightful meal. The Pad Thai was so flavorful and delicious. Definitely want to go back.

Just went here for the first time. Let me say that Chan (the owner / chef) is so nice and sweet. The place is adorable. The food is delicious. Absolutely some of the best ma po tofu I’ve ever had, and the house noodles are also amazing. I will be frequenting this place.

This place SHINES. The owner is a one man show and is cooking up some incredible food. His service is incredible, and he is making some of the most authentic, clean, delicious Chinese food I've ever had. If you live in Boise and haven't tried this place, do yourself a favor. Don't expect it to be the quickest place in the world, but go for the experience and you wont be disappointed.

Super amazing hole in the wall! I got the house fried rice and my partner got the house fried noodles. We definitely recommend both, they’re both made from scratch in house! Even the noodles! Owner was super nice, and as a sign at the front register says, “one man, one wok”. Be patient, but the food is worth it!

Just WOW! I have been to Tai land and have enjoyed the Tai food ever since, but to find real Tai food In Boise has been a mission. I have lived in Boise for 40 years and have never once thought about eating here, until we wanted to eat out on a Labor Day. Every place we called was closed for that Monday, but this place was open. Were placed our order over the phone and we were told 30 minutes. We arrived at the location and we were greeted by the nicest old man working alone in his restaurant. The prices were unbelievable, meaning they were very reasonable. In fact so reasonable I will be eating here once a week from now on. The food was filled with protein in every bite, and there was soo much of it! The food tasted great and authentic! there were no adverse effects except a very satisfied stomach. We are very pleased with the service and the food at the Wok-Inn Noodle and I hope it continues to serve the treasure valley for a long time..
