Welcome WOK IN | New Business in Uptown Saint John

Posted on

Uptown Saint John is excited to welcome WOK IN Asian Cuisine, a new business member of the Uptown Saint John BIA!

Located on Coburg Street, WOK IN brings authentic Chinese flavours to the heart of Uptown Saint John. Owner Zhigang Yao, also known as Andy Yao, came to Saint John from PEI, where he previously owned a restaurant. After opening WOK IN on the west side almost five years ago, he recently opened this second location Uptown.

The menu is full of comforting favourites and bold, flavourful dishes, with options ranging from mild to spicy. Guests can enjoy popular dishes like Sichuan Spicy Chicken and Guo Bao Rou, along with wonton soup, noodle dishes, rice dishes, and more. Andy also shares special dishes inspired by flavours and favourites that are popular in China, giving Saint John diners a chance to try something familiar, something new, or a little bit of both.
