What to check

With branches run in several countries, the certificate on the wall of your branch is the best confirmation. For other Asian chains that answer the question themselves, see Chopstix, which shows a certificate, and Banana Tree.

Frequently asked questions

Is Oodles Wok Halal?
It says so: Oodles Wok describes itself as '100% Halal' on its website. It names no certifier there, so ask your branch for the certificate if you need one.
Where is Oodles Wok?
Oodles Wok says it has grown from one store in Leicester to more than 50 locations across the UK, UAE, Canada and Qatar.

Scholarly view

A whole-menu Halal claim from the brand itself is a strong signal, but it is not a certificate: Oodles Wok's website names no certifier and says nothing about stunning, on which certifiers differ. Franchise branches can differ in practice, so the branch's own certificate is the thing to check.
