Wow I can't believe I never reviewed this place! There aren't very many places in Cincinnati that…read morehave traditional Chinese food. This place has it. And I'm not talking about fancy dishes or street food, but right in between. While other 'real' Chinese restaurants around the area cover the whole gambit of food, Wok Express keeps their focus on the middle portion and they do it right. This is the place you go to if you're craving that meal that you can get for cheap, in a huge portion, at a little stand on the street at night market, and you're sitting on a little plastic chair and a wobbly metal table. The decor here is obviously much better than that though. Wok Express tricks you with their Americanized name, and while they do serve Americanized Chinese food, just like House of Sun, they've got a separate menu and that's where the gold is. I come here for the Beef Noodle soup only. I'm too satisfied with that to try anything else, and given that it's $5 or $6, for a bowl of noodles big enough to feed two, why would I even bother?

Yum, Yum, YUM! Unpretentious...inexpensive...YUM! Hurry and come on over!…read more Yes, these are the best words I can come up with for Wok Express' Taiwanese style cuisine. After two days, I'm still reminiscing those flavors: homey, familiar, yet impossible to reproduce at home. We ordered quite a few dishes: Mixed cold appetizer plate with pig ear slices; Quarter cold duck with ginger and sauce; Twice cooked pork belly slices, "Chinese" style; Salt n pepper fried chicken wings, bite sized Stir fry beef with jalapeño peppers; Chitterlings with fish slices in flaming hot pot. (I thought I had written chitterlings out of my list long time ago, but I could not stop eating it! ) EVERY single dish was delicious and non-gringoed. It has been quite a while since something has excited this tired palate of mine. Wok Express has a very low key exterior and even lower key interior: worn tables and more worn booths. The owner's service style is no-nonsense: "are you ready to order...here are your food..." But who cares when the food is this good! I am already wanting to go back for more!

We got sat in the back corner hoping to enjoy dim sum and all we got was tea and some fried sticky rice. All she wanted was some steam spare ribs. We waited for 10 minutes and no waiters came to ask if we needed anything. She then got up and talked to the waitress about an order of steamed spare ribs and she said it would be out in 10 minutes. 20 minutes went by and 5 parties that came after us all got served. She was furious and got up and left while I paid for the 2 items. This time around was not a good experience since we were there just a couple days ago.

For less than $14.00 with a soda, I had a good meal!

The pickup was easy and the woman who helped me get my food was very nice and efficient. Parking was easy too with their large parking lot in the plaza. I ordered traditional chicken low mein, wonton soup, and gyoza. The lo mein was a really big portion which I love. The soup came in a nice container and didn't spill. The gyoza were packaged in a very small container but they were easy enough to eat. The food was the biggest problem that my boss and I had with the establishment. While it was hot and ready to eat, it unfortunately didn't taste like much else than the styrofoam packing that it came in. The lo mein had very little flavor. I will say it was cooked well and the noodles weren't overcooked. The wonton soup was nothing to go on about, and the wontons were a bit slimy. The best part was the gyoza, but again nothing exceptional with that dish. Maybe ordering in-house provides better food.

The service was friendly, accurate and prompt. The helpings were abundant - we both needed to-go boxes, which this lovely kind lady insisted on filling, which was so nice and helpful. We'll definitely be back to try the sizzling beef and the lamb with scallions.

I placed my order online for pickup at a certain time. I got held up and was still working when they called to make sure I didn't forget about my order. They were so kind. I made it there with 1 minute until they closed and they were so sweet. I wasn't the only person with an order, as someone had just placed an order right before I got there. It was your typical Chinese restaurant - order at the counter and they call you when it's ready. Nothing unexpected. I LOVE shrimp egg rolls. I ordered a couple for myself and they almost didn't make it home. I got some hot and sour soup and orange chicken with white rice for my husband. The food was good. I'm a bit picky about egg rolls, too. I'm glad to have discovered Imperial Wok and I will be back.
