Expect a long waiting time on weekends. I ordered on Saturday lunchtime, and it was stated as more than 40 minutes waiting time, but it actually took 90 minutes to get my order.

I've been a regular customer, but lately the standard has dropped. I had a frustrating experience today. I ordered online but still had to wait at least half an hour for collection. I saw the packets ready for collection but didn't receive an SMS to alert me. It was a waste of my time.

My first and my last experience here. The fried rice, apart from the wok hei, was not good. It was so bland, lacking garlic and umami fragrance. Why is it considered the best fried rice? Heavy marketing tactics?

The picture was taken when I started ordering; it showed a 10-20 minute wait, but the actual wait was 40 minutes (yes, double the estimated time!). Looking at prior reviews, others also reflected slowness in service, so do be aware of the long, invisible queue. After 20 minutes in the queue, they changed the label to a 30-40 minute wait, so I pity those who ordered after; perhaps they faced an hour's wait. I would appreciate it if the wait time labels were more accurate. However, the food itself is still yummy and of reasonable quality. I had the Shanghai fried rice with grilled chicken. But the unexpectedly long wait is definitely something that can be looked at and improved.

The food is great, but the staff needs more training in customer service. They were very unfriendly. If there's a 30-minute wait, please inform us politely; it felt like they didn't want to take my order.

Easy-to-find restaurant that is located directly outside of Hougang Mall's exit to the MRT. Getting

An easy-to-find restaurant located directly outside the Hougang MRT exit from Hougang Mall. Getting the staff to attend to me was a struggle. Even when one cook was not busy and just staring at me, they continued to do their own thing instead of addressing me. I feel like the service needs some work. I order fried rice every time I visit. One version in particular I favor is the Dry Laksa Fried Rice with Grilled Chicken. While the normal fried rice has the wok hei aroma and great-tasting rice, the Dry Laksa Fried Rice was a level-up. If you enjoy laksa, then the fusion between fried rice and laksa by Wok Hey will make you crave for more. The price range is sort of pricey for Chinese street food cuisine here, so expect to pay almost $10 for one simple meal. It's definitely worth it though. Despite my comments about the fried rice, there were times when the rice would taste watery (not because of oil), or even underseasoned. I once bit into a box that had plain reheated rice. Consistency is a bit of an issue here, but this happens rarely. There's no quick guarantee of food being served because the staff can be either fast or slow. However, from most of my experiences, my order would take 25 minutes on average to prepare (even during peak hours). It's a good food chain with delicious food, but put some effort to get the staff's attention when you order.

Ordered the egg fried rice with chicken. The food tasted good, and I felt the price was just right for its worth. The lady at the counter took my order with a nice attitude. My order took around 10 minutes, so the waiting time wasn't too bad. I will admit I actually like the packaging of the food as it reminds me of American Chinese style takeout boxes and is quite portable and nice.

5 stars for the food and taste. 5 stars for the packaging and branding. 3 stars because it's always rushed and you have to wait at least 15 minutes with no place to sit or eat. Been there multiple times and always loved the taste; price-wise, it's also good.
