Wokster Brings Authentic Chow Mein to Seoul

Wokster Brings Authentic Chow Mein to Seoul
ADVERTISEMENT

Korean Chinese cuisine, while distinct, has a growing number of options for those craving North American-style Chinese food. The recent expansion of Wokster restaurants across the country is a welcome addition, making it easier than ever to enjoy high-quality chow mein in Korea.

Wokster, which operates about a dozen locations nationwide, has recently opened a new branch in Seoul’s Gyeongnidan neighborhood, near the Noksapyeong underpass. Despite its small storefront, the restaurant extends deep inside, offering a cozy yet unpretentious atmosphere. This latest location adds to the growing list of Wokster branches, with others in cities like Cheongju, Daegu, Incheon, Seogwipo (Jeju Island), and Wonju.

Although the menu remains relatively compact with just eight main dishes, the selection is both thoughtfully curated and appealing. Among the choices, four are variations of chow mein, and three are fried rice dishes. The offerings focus primarily on chicken, pork, and seafood, with shrimp-based dishes accounting for half of the entrees. While beef is notably absent from the menu, the current selection still provides enough variety to keep diners coming back.

After visiting Wokster three times, one dish stands out as a must-try: the chow mein. It’s uncomplicated, flavorful, and not overly greasy—a refreshing change from the often heavy and overly sweet versions commonly found in North America. The dish manages to strike the right balance, remaining satisfying without losing its appeal midway through the meal.

Other notable dishes include the Sichuan fried pork (which has a few spelling variations on the menu) and kung pao chicken. While the orange chicken didn’t quite hit the mark for this reviewer, the orange shrimp was a pleasant surprise. The dish’s crispy exterior paired well with a tangy, citrus sauce, making it a solid option for those who enjoy sweet and savory flavors.

Pricing at Wokster aligns with typical Korean dining experiences, with entrees ranging from 8,000 won to 16,000 won. Shrimp dishes are priced slightly higher, at 14,000 won for six pieces and 23,000 won for a dozen. The standout deal, however, is the drinks menu: a 300-milliliter glass of beer is priced at just 3,000 won, making it an affordable choice for those looking to pair their meal with a refreshing beverage.

For those on the go, Wokster also offers takeout, with the right style of containers to ensure your meal stays fresh during transport.

With its inviting atmosphere, solid menu, and affordable prices, Wokster is quickly becoming a go-to spot for those seeking a taste of North American-style Chinese food in Korea. Whether you’re in the mood for chow mein or just a casual drink, this new addition to the Seoul food scene is definitely worth a visit.
