Some cast iron woks come with a coating to protect them from rust before you buy them. (After you have your wok you ought to keep is seasoned to protect it from rust.) This coating is food-safe and cooks off. If it bothers you try putting a decent amount of oil in the wok (like a cup or more) and cook on high heat moving the oil around to get the sides. You should be able to cook most of the coating off. After the coating is gone you will want to be sure that you are properly seasoning and storing your wok. Check the manufacturers instructions or Wikianswers for information about seasoning cast iron.
