Red Wok: Where Fresh Meets Fantastic

In Vero Beach, the debate often rages about the best Chinese spot— like the one in Ryanwood and Plum Tree off Oslo frequently come up. Sure, these places offer the familiar fast-food experience, but Red Wok is a different breed entirely. Nestled in Miracle Mile, behind Mai Thai Bistro and next to where Ceviche 28 was that is now Clase Azul Mexican Restaurant and Bar, this red and sparkly gem isn’t just another Chinese restaurant; it’s a culinary destination that bridges the gap between traditional and innovative Asian cuisine. While purists may argue about what constitutes “real” Chinese food (New York Vero is not), Red Wok transcends these boundaries, offering a diverse menu that spans across the Asian continent. From their freshly made soups to their expertly crafted dishes, Red Wok delivers an experience that goes beyond typical expectations.

Our meal was a testament to their commitment to authenticity and quality. We kicked off with a tasting of their homemade soups—wonton, egg drop, and sweet and spicy—all of which revealed layers of complex flavors that speak to hours of careful preparation. Accompanied by crunchy, made-to-order noodles, the soups were a comforting start to our feast. The crispy egg rolls were a standout, with their delicate, thin wrapper giving way to a warm, flavorful filling of pork and vegetables. For those who prefer a meat-free option, the extra crispy General Tso’s tofu is a must-try, and the generous portions ensure you won’t leave hungry.

Quick Look

The sesame chicken was another highlight, featuring substantial pieces of chicken breast in a light, flavorful batter. And don’t miss their roasted duck—a succulent, slow-roasted masterpiece with crispy skin and a savory brown sauce infused with star anise. Each dish is paired with perfectly steamed rice, presented uniquely with a Chinese symbol for happiness.

Whether you’re craving a hearty meal or an exploration of Asian flavors, Red Wok is the place to be. With a menu as expansive as their dedication to fresh, home-cooked ingredients, this restaurant promises a dining experience that’s as memorable as it is delicious.
