We ate a mid-afternoon meal there before our flight to Warsaw on May 2. The food was actually quite tasty (my husband got the shrimp with fried rice [$9.90 plus tax] and I got some sort of egg-based dish with fried rice [$7.90 plus tax]). The prices were *very* reasonable for the generous portions. Also, the people working behind the counter were pleasant.
The food at Wok & Roll in Terminal 4 of JFK is barely passable. It was in near desperation that we even chose to order food from here in the first place. As many of you may have surmised by now, there is a scarcity of food in JFK. Terminal 4 has a small oasis of food, but the options are not so great. Wok & Roll is one such not so great option. Still, it was food, so we got it.
Wok & Roll is essentially a crappier version of Panda Express. Panda Express is already low by my standards, so you can imagine just how crappy Wok & Roll was. The food tasted very greasy and oily. But it wasn't simply just that. The food also tasted like lysol. It was quite gross. I did end up finishing the whole thing, but only because, as I mentioned before, I was desperate. They charged me $3 for water. Unconscionable. Again, I was desperate.
What sucked most about Wok & Roll is that they have no seating area. JFK Terminal 4 has very few seating options in general, so we ended up having to sit on the floor. Not fun.
I would normally give a "1" star to this place, but because I only reserve 1 stars to the truly terrible (ie – horrible service as well as completely inedible food), I will not dignify Wok & Roll with a 1 star review.
We ask for the two item combo and asked for half rice and half chow mein. The guy says he has to charge us for an extra item. We ask why, do yoi give us a full order or rice or chow mein? He said nope just extra item charge to mix.
Food? As almost all other reviews suggest…. not edible.
I had a few hours' layover at JFK airport, I wasn't in the mood for the ever popular fast food burger and fries, I wanted something more substantial than just a basic cold sandwich, but I didn't want to bother with a sit down restaurant with waiter service, either. Wok & Roll in the food court fit the bill. I had the General Tso's Chicken with fried rice and an egg roll, the portions were generous, the staff was friendly, and for my food and a bottle of Vitamin Water, the total came to about $15 which, for airport food, wasn't too unreasonable.
Their dining area was reasonably clean, they had staff going through to clean off and wipe down the tables as people finished eating and the food was actually quite good!
3 stars pretty much sums up my overall experience here.
Oh geezus. Don't put this food in your body. Even if you are the adventurous type and are down to eat anything, even if you don't know what it is.
I decided to grab a quick 2 item before catching my flight- lo mein, orange chicken, and tofu.
The lo mein had no flavor, literally noodles and oil. The orange chicken wasn't crunchy, lacked sweetness, and when you bit inside there was barely any chicken. The pieces that has chicken were extremely dry. The tofu tasted over salted and tasted like it was sitting in its metal bin for days.
3 bites and the rest was pushed to the side into the trash can. Went to auntie Anne's for some mini corn dogs instead.
The poor reviews on this place aren't over exaggerating. Blah!
These guys suck. Rude employees and really bad food. Also, if you ask for a cup for water, they will refuse. I had to guilt them into giving one to me because some type of law states that all restaurants have to provide some sort of water to their patrons.
Will never go back to these guys again. I hope they go out of business.
Chinese infused with Japanese lunch entrees for Udon; Tofu; Bok Choi; General Tso's chicken with heavy dosage of salt. There is a sign written in both Chinese traditional characters with English: "we do not use MSG" which is simply a white lie! Unbelievably one bottle of vitamin water overpriced at an utter $3.00 where at peak travel time an extreme slow service for staff are immobile to move their body to serve patrons.
This Wok & Roll correctly sits in Terminal ONE not Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), second floor above the Departure Gates.

Don't waste your money here.

Got lo mein and sweet chicken. It was ok. Lo mein was bland. Sweet chicken needs to be crispier.
