While staying in a hotel the other week, I picked up a flyer at the front desk listing places to eat off the highway. Among them I spied a clever and, ahem, riveting restaurant name: Men at Wok.

Coincidentally, I’ve long wanted to open a Wok restaurant myself, and felt inspired to come up with some more great names... indeed, a pretty comprehensive list!

Having already chosen my own Wok name (a secret of course), in my generosity I’m sharing this veritable wealth of wokkish opportunities. You’re welcome.

Truly, the possibilities are nearly limitless! The freedom is dizzying!

  1. Take a Wok on the Wild Side

  2. Wok It, Girl

  3. Wokka Wokka

  4. Coffee Twok

  5. All in a Day’s Wok

  6. Wok Around The Clock (24 hr)

  7. Wok ‘Til You Drop (buffet)

  8. Wok In My Shoes (eww)

  9. This Restaurant Was Made For Wokkin

  10. The WOKE Wok

  11. Good Wok If You Can Wok It

  12. Cwistofer Wokkin (co-owned)

  13. Cock of the Wok (chicken-centric menu)

  14. Wok Of Shame

  15. Wok the Wok

  16. Wok Out With Your Cock Out (chicken takeout)

  17. Wok In With Your Cock In (bring your own chicken)

  18. Stop, Wok, and Roll

  19. Woks New Pussycat

  20. Wok o’ the Mornin’ Ta Ya (Irish-Asian fusion)

  21. Wok Like an Egyptian (Egyptian-Asian)
