Magic Wok
Long-running Chinese-American takeout and dine-in restaurant on Route 6.
Magic Wok is Wellsboro Plaza's go-to Chinese-American restaurant — a family-run tenant that has quietly become part of the daily rhythm of the plaza. Employees leaving the medical clinic, folks coming out of a PennDOT appointment, and families running errands all find their way in for lunch or dinner.
The menu covers the classics diners in this part of Pennsylvania come back for — General Tso's chicken, sesame chicken, orange chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, beef and broccoli, egg foo young, pepper steak, lo mein and chow mein in every combination, and a full range of fried rice options. Vegetable and tofu dishes are prepared to order, and lunch specials keep the price sensible for a quick weekday meal.
Takeout is a big part of the business, and orders are usually ready by the time you walk from your car. The dining room is a straightforward, comfortable place to eat in when the weather turns. Portions are generous, service is friendly, and the kitchen is consistent — three traits that keep regulars loyal for years at a stretch.
For a plaza built around medical and professional services, Magic Wok is a reminder that a real neighborhood still needs somewhere warm to sit down and eat.
