The WOK Philosophy
WHAT IS WOK HEY?
A modern take on Asian stir-fry, built around speed, freshness, and bold flavours. Every dish is prepared on the spot, bringing together quality ingredients and high-heat cooking to deliver a satisfying meal, every time.
We believe great food doesn’t have to be complicated - just honest, well-executed, and made fresh for you.
Brand Story
Founded in 2017, WOK HEY was inspired by the rich traditions of Asian stir-fry and reimagined for today’s fast-paced lifestyle.
What started as a simple idea to make stir-fry meals more accessible, has grown into a well-loved, fast-casual concept across Singapore and beyond.
From a single outlet to a growing network of stores, our focus remains the same: serving freshly prepared meals that are quick, customisable, and consistently satisfying.
Mission
Redefining the experience and perception of traditional Asian stir-fry staples, one wok at a time.
Vision
To be a leading, modern Asian fast-casual brand that people turn to for fresh, flavourful meals - made with care and served with purpose.
Values
Craftsmanship
We believe in doing things right; from the ingredients we use to the way we prepare every meal.
People First
We value our people and our customers, creating an environment built on respect, inclusivity, and genuine connection.
Innovation
We constantly find new ways to elevate your everyday stir-fry creations for a MAX-experience and satisfaction.

Meet our founders
We wanted to reimagine zi char for today, bringing tradiitonal stir-fry cuisine into a format that fits seamlessly into modern, everyday life.
— Jake Chia, Co-founder
We saw that enjoying good zi char often meant compromising on variety or affordability. WOK HEY was created with the vision to bring these two together, while being accessible for all.
— Huang Changyong, Co-founder
Simple meals, bold flavours, and moments that bring people together - that’s what WOK HEY is all about.
