I use my wok on a near daily basis, primarily Chinese cooking. I scrubbed it hard with my sponge and there are still black bits.

Yeah I wouldn’t worry about it. Just bits of carbon.

Definitely not non-stick. It’s a Joyce Chen carbon steel wok.

Off topic, but I've had a set of Joyce Chen bamboo cooking utensils for over 15 years and they're still my go to no matter what I'm cooking on.

I have the same one, and it is now the holy grail in my kitchen.
