Tried and true
Hot Wok Asian Cuisine
HOT WOK started in Playa Coco as a small, unique Asian restaurant seating 10 people in 2014. After one year it was a huge success and it was apparent that the location was too small. HOT WOK then moved its location to the Main street in Playa Coco.
It quickly became a landmark and was a hit among both locals and tourists. In late 2019 we upgraded once again to our new air conditioned location (between Coco Hotel and Coopeguanacaste). That’s where we are and now who we are.
Only the Best
Fresh Ingredients, Tasty Meals
We are not just another Chinese restaurant. We are an Asian restaurant. We serve a huge variety of fresh sushi led by noted sushi chef Perla Balcita and her all Filipino crew. Our menu has items from Japan, China, Philippines, India and elsewhere. We are also known for our famous weekend buffet which features eight to ten items.
We have kept the same quality and prices since 2014. We do not change our prices to accommodate “high” or tourist season. We maintain the same prices all year. Our hours of operation are from noon to 9:30 PM. seven days a week. Please read our reviews. We are very proud of them.
