Mine is from Crate & Barrel, got it as a wedding gift. I would probably drive to one of the Asian enclaves near you and buy one from a restaurant supply store there.

DH got ours in Chinatown, its very large carbon steel (I think). Seasons up really well. Or try a restaurant supply store, we find great stuff there.
I once got one of the non-stick ones from a popular brand, I think maybe at BBB. Horrible. Coating came off after a use or two and I sent it back. No need for non-stick coating in a wok, you're supposed to use it at high temps.
We love our Le Creuset wok (http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/le-creuset-wok/?pkey=ccookware-le-creuset&). The thing weighs a ton, but man does it do a fine job. We've had it for 5 years now and it's still just as awesome as it was when we first bought it. I keep trying to convince DH that we should get a 2nd so that we can more easily make multiple batches of recipes when entertaining but he thinks I'm a bit ridiculous. :)

I got out carbon steel wok from Williams Sonoma. Before that, I had a cheaper Ikea wok which was teflon coated. The carbon steel one is a learning curve like a cast iron skillet. If you prefer to pamper your utensils, then I suggest the carbon steel one. I know I will not go back to a different material. It's a fantastic price too. I wish I had a the lid too.
