1Without knowing whether the wok is non-stick or not, this question is essentially un-answerable. Ther are comments implying this under the answers, which haven't been address in two days. VTC.– Chris HFeb 19, 2018 at 13:08

Yes, you can restore it.
Clean the whole wok. Wash with soap and dry it. Apply a small coat of oil and put it on high. Let it burn (ventilate the kitchen).
Repeat the process of applying a small coat of oil and putting it on high another two or three times.
Done.
Edit: As noted by @GdD, this method cannot be applied to non-stick woks.

Given the cost of most asian wok, it would be more cost effective to purchase a new one than restoring a damaged wok. Assuming it's not-non-stick or not-coated, you can season the wok as if it's a carbon steel or cast iron pan. Scrub off the rust in hot water until water is clear; then best with non processed oil like animal fat or lard frying with onion and perhaps some salt under high heat until the wok turns dark.

Certainly not when empty, and with intent to season the vessel. Feb 19, 2018 at 11:42

@Cindy My fault on the typo. I meat not-non-stick. But I have never heard of seasoning a non-stick pan either if there were ever such thing as seasoning non-stick to be mistaken...– KMCFeb 19, 2018 at 13:41

Thanks for editing! You can 'season' non-stick cookware but it is a very different procedure and does not use high heat as you would with bare metal.– CindyFeb 19, 2018 at 14:01
Use Crisco to season your wok. Also, a little rust can be rinsed away and the wok will eventually season itself if you avoid metal scrubbers and clean it with a bamboo wok brush and remember to dry it and just keep using it over time.
