WOK HEY Bukit Batok MRT

About WOK HEY Bukit Batok MRT

WOK HEY is a modern, fast-casual take on Asian stir-fry, built around wok-tossed rice and noodle dishes cooked fresh to order and served take-out style. Every bowl starts with a choice of base — premium Japanese rice or handmade Japanese noodles — paired with a protein and fresh add-ons prepped daily, all finished with high-heat wok cooking for that signature wok hei character.

Founded in 2017 by Jake Chia and Huang Changyong, the brand set out to reimagine traditional zi char stir-fry for a faster, more modern lifestyle, without losing the variety or flavour of the original dishes. What began as a single outlet has grown into a network of stores across Singapore, with an international flagship opening in Malaysia in 2022. In 2025, WOK HEY received the Best Kiosk Award from the Restaurant Association of Singapore.

The menu spans classic fried rice and noodle formats — Shanghai fried rice, egg fried rice, fresh udon and fresh ramen — alongside richer options like truffle udon and truffle fried rice, black pepper fried rice, and dishes built around wild-caught crab meat. A Healthier Edition (HE) line offers lighter versions of the same dishes, including a cauliflower rice base for those watching carbs. Limited-time MAX specials rotate with the seasons, tying into campaigns like Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Christmas.

Reviewers have highlighted the freshness of the ingredients, the ability to customise each bowl, and the experience of watching chefs cook everything on the spot.

WOK HEY: Modern Wok-Tossed Stir-Fry, Made Fresh to Order

Zi Char, Reimagined for Take-Out

WOK HEY takes the traditional Singaporean zi char stir-fry — usually a sit-down, multi-dish affair — and reshapes it into a fast, customisable, single-bowl format built for everyday eating. Every dish is cooked to order over high heat, the same technique that gives good zi char its smoky "wok hei" character, then packed into a modern take-out box.

The brand was founded in 2017 by Jake Chia and Huang Changyong, who wanted to bring the variety of good zi char together with affordability and convenience, without customers having to compromise on one for the other. What started as a single outlet has since grown into a network of stores across Singapore, with the brand's first international flagship opening in Malaysia in 2022. WOK HEY's efforts were recognised in 2025 with the Best Kiosk Award from the Restaurant Association of Singapore.

How the Menu Works

Every order starts with a base: premium Japanese rice, prized for its soft, fluffy bite and natural sweetness, or handmade Japanese noodles with a springy texture built to hold onto sauce. From there, diners choose a protein — chicken, beef, prawns or crab — and the dish is finished with fresh add-ons prepped daily.

The standard menu covers familiar stir-fry formats: Shanghai fried rice, egg fried rice, fresh udon and fresh ramen, each available with grilled chicken, braised beef or seasoned prawns. For something richer, the truffle udon and truffle fried rice lines bring a truffle sauce into the mix, while the black pepper fried rice offers a punchier, spiced alternative. A standout for seafood fans is the range built around wild-caught crab meat, available across udon, ramen, Shanghai fried rice and egg fried rice.

Built-In Healthier Options

WOK HEY also runs a dedicated Healthier Edition (HE) line, offering lighter versions of its core dishes, including udon, ramen, Shanghai fried rice and egg fried rice with the same protein choices. For those cutting carbs altogether, a cauliflower rice base is available plain or in a Shanghai-style seasoning.

Limited-Time and Seasonal Specials

Beyond the standard menu, WOK HEY regularly rotates limited-time MAX specials tied to campaigns and collaborations — past editions have included a Rendang Golden Fried Rice for Hari Raya, an Abalone Black Pepper Fried Rice for Chinese New Year, and a Cheesy Chicken Bratwurst Truffle Fried Rice for Christmas. These seasonal drops give regulars a reason to check back in throughout the year.

The Experience

What sets WOK HEY apart from a typical stir-fry stall is the combination of speed and customisation — guests pick their base, protein and add-ons, then watch it all get wok-tossed fresh in front of them. Reviewers from SethLui.com and 8 Days have both pointed to the freshness of the ingredients, generous portions, and the lighter, more fragrant character of the rice compared to typical fried rice, as reasons the format works well for a quick but satisfying meal.

With outlets across Singapore and a growing footprint in Malaysia, WOK HEY has positioned itself as a modern, everyday alternative to sit-down zi char — built around the same core idea of simple meals, bold flavours, and food made to bring people together.
