First time trying this place out . I only remember it because awhile back , the owner was standing outside passing out menus for his restaurant and I said I would try it and that day seemed to be yesterday. I ordered online before they were open and had a pick up time with 45 minutes from open. Already very happy. I orders two lunch combinations, 1 orange chicken and the other was house lo mein. The food was ready when I got there right at the time it said it would be. The guy who I assume was the owner was very nice , friendly and welcoming when I walked in to get my food. He was grateful that I chose his establishment and it showed. My daughter thoroughly her orange chicken . She said it was really good. I loved the lo mein as well. It was probably some of the best I'd had here in AZ. The fried rice was very colorful but had no flavor. You definitely will need some soy sauce to spice it up. I didn't like the rice but it didn't take away from my amazing lo mein. If the rice was better, this would have been a true 5 star but hopefully they can work in perfecting the rice and I will be back in the future. read more

I really liked the small family business feel, but it felt different with the new owners. Not a fan of the sweet and sour soup because I didn't get any sense of "sour". The egg roll and the crab rangoon was a nice touch, probably the best part of my meal. Unfortunately the beef in my beef broccoli dish was chewier than I expected, and it took me awhile to finish. The service was great though, very friendly read more

The Wok Express - Beef Broccoli lunch - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Neighborhood spot, almost always pick up Togo. Family run, good food, plenty of seating, parking can be tight. Negotiating with the other businesses can make parking difficult. The food is always good. The negative would be the female (older woman), she's not always willing to listen. We joke about when we order visa phone: she speaks very fast, looking to get you off the line ASAP. Ordering in person is better, not great. I think it's a cultural difference but a rudeness personality, it's really not bad, just a little funny once you get it. read more

Not terrible, but also not very good. Newer to the Scottsdale area wanting to try out other cuisine besides the countless restaurants serving $20 burgers & fries. I should have realized that this wasn't Phoenix where's there's actually some diversity in the people & cuisine. But I thought I'd take a chance at a nearby place instead of driving 30 minutes to Liuyen (spoiler alert, it's worth driving to Phoenix for foreign cuisine). I asked the guy behind the counter if he was the owner & he said 'yeah something like that' and then went on about taking cash from the register & going to the casino or something... somewhat strange but I chuckled & gave him the benefit of the doubt. For our appetizer, we got spring rolls. As for the entrees, we went with 2 Chinese takeout classics: a cashew chicken & a General Tsos chicken lunch special. Apparently the lunch specials were supposed to come with an egg roll or a crabrangoon. I just realized now while writing this review now that we were given neither. The spring rolls we payed for were 3 pinky-finger sized frozen rolls for $6. Absolute insanity. I mentioned to the server that I liked spicy food, & he immediately wanted me to try his 'baby's-first-time-cooking' habanero sauce that he made seemingly himself. I said that I'd try it out of pity. He later started arguing with the cook in the back about it. At that point I just said I'd take it on the side. It probably would have been OK at best for a Mexican restaurant instead. The cashew chicken had about 5-6 pieces of cashew on top. The ratio of chicken to veggies was about 5% meat to 95% veggies. Good way to maximize profit, terrible way to keep repeat customers. Sauce tasted good though. The General Tsos was just their 'house made sweet & sour sauce' mixed in with chili oil. One of the pieces of chicken I bit into had a bone in it. Another great way to maximize profit & make a first & list time customer. As if it couldn't get even more disappointing. I want to say that at one point this place was better than it seems to be, looking like a hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurant. The stock-photos of the food on the menu led me to believe that it was once owned by Asians (or someone else) that strived on quality & flavor. Would not recommend. read more

I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken Combination. Never had it without any szechuan pepper in it. Their fried rice was nothing but very dark brown rice with no obvious egg or veg or meat. For this rice they up-charged me an additional fifty cents. This line is clipped from their website menu: "All dinner combination are served with egg roll, 3 crab puffs, fried rice & egg drop soup or hot & sour soup (Soup not for delivery & togo." So the fried rice was a double rip-off. The egg roll was good. read more

Food was really good! Chow mein was good and the magnolia beef with right amount of onions was just right. So nice to talk to owner that's from the Bay Area made it feel like home. We definitely will be back , eat to try some shrimp . read more

Since new ownership took over we don't order here anymore. Before we were charged reasonable prices ie dishes like orange chicken that was priced at 11.95 has now been marked up 40% to almost 18 dollars. With all that mentioned if the food was still at the same level or better I can see a little more justification for the price hike, but alas no, the food quality and portions have diminished which leads us to say farewell to a place we use to order from for over 10 years. It was good while it lasted though. read more

Owner is very nice and the food is great! Also very affordable place for a lunch break

Absolutely recommend this restaurant, was outstanding, service above and beyond, they even sent a text asking what could be done better, this was after pick up, you'd be missing out if you didn't at least eat once, 5 STARZ,,be safe read more

With the new owners, and new name, it's just not the same. They changed the recipe for at least the General Tso's sauce. To-go orders are no longer tossed in their sauce. The employee said that it causes the breading to fall off. That was definitely not the case, and I was a regular customer for 5+ years here. Also, the crab puffs have shrunk in size and content. Still 8 to an order, but not the same. I do understand if things change, prices go up, maybe suppliers change. But honestly, new owners, don't change what people liked and what was working!! It is highly likely that I may never return. read more

Just tried Wok Express for the first time and it did not disappoint! I had the pork fried rice, and it was absolutely delicious--packed with flavor and the vegetables tasted incredibly fresh. My wife ordered the chicken fried rice and couldn't stop raving about it--she said it was exquisite. Great portions, fast service, and everything tasted like it was made with care. Definitely adding this spot to our regular takeout rotation! read more

Heard the place had new owners and really spruced the place up.. and we were not disappointed ..the people running the establishment are exceptional and very accommodating.. we had a party of four and everyone loved it .. we will be back to try more dishes.. thank you for not only keeping the location but stepping it up aswell!! read more

Foods awesome. Exactly what you want for take out Chinese. Have been a few times and each time get something different and are never disappointed. read more

Great customer service came out fast. Taste good. would for sure recommend heart tasting differently from other places

I have recommended this place to SO many people and always hear rave reviews. Their food is fantastic and service is fantastic. Our favorites are the orange chicken, crab puffs, and lettuce wraps. We have yet to try anything that wasn't 5 stars! We no longer live in the area and still travel to eat here. It's THAT good. read more

I love the Singapore Mei Fun. It reminds me of back in my hometown, Chicago. Not too many good restaurants in Arizona in my opinion.

Visited this establishment yesterday and it was delicious. Staff was wonderful. Met Robert and his wife Jane and they were exceptional. Friendly, attentive and assertive. Very welcoming. We had the Wor Wonton Soup which was full flavorful and full of shrimp, chicken and beef and fresh vegetables. The portion was huge. We also had the egg rolls and crab puffs which were crispy and delicious. The homemade hot mustard made it even better. A must!!! For dinner we had the Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken. Both were very flavorful and the portions were huge. So happy to have found this close to home. We will be back again soon:) read more

Very disappointing! The new owners may have cleaned up too much. After reconfirming our take out order, it was still wrong when picked up. One of the combo meals was entirely missing the "combo" pieces. The other meal was not at all as described in the menu, only containing the protein and a single vegetable variety. Most disappointing was that BOTH meals were COMPLETELY FLAVORLESS! Very sad, will not be returning. read more

New owners, sort of jacked up. I went here for years but not sure now. My chicken was overcooked and they were out of some ingredients. They do not have the same menu of the other place. read more

The food was so delicious I had the Mongolian beef. The people were so nice and were very fast.

The new owner is awful my family and I have been coming to The Wok Express for yearssss and they just recently got a new owner and he was horrible he was yelling at the lady at the front and being very condescending to her there was only one cook there and instead of jumping in to help them he just kept telling them that they were behind also the has food changed and it was so bad my orange chicken had black pieces on it and the chicken chow mein smelled and tasted like ramen noodle seasoning. I don't recommend this place to anyone! read more

We enjoyed our food. But what really stood out was the customer service. It was exceptionally good!

Pretty solid experience. I had the Kung Pao Chicken lunch special. It was delicious and came with a lot of food. Also, one of the most reasonably priced lunches I've had in a long time. Definitely going back. #DukeOfEats read more

First time here. My brother and I were dying for chow fun, but they didn't have any of the wide rice noodles made. But that's ok. Lots of other options! I opted for the chicken chow mein, my brother ordered the Moo goo gai pan. Both were delicious! Came with a spring roll, egg drop soup and rice. All were excellent! Poor gal in front was running her tail off waiting tables and filling take out orders. She was very efficient at getting everyone taken care of. Thanks! read more

I have been eating at the Wok Express for over 20 years. The original owners prepared their orange chicken using freshly breaded chicken breasts which was the best dish I had ever eaten. The second owners changed it to a frozen chicken nugget, but the rest of the menu stayed the same and Wok Express was my go-to Chinese restaurant ever since. I'm the guy who has his own seat at the restaurant; my drink would be delivered before I could sit down and they took the time to remember the dishes that I liked. I went there several times while the new owners were training, he was very enthusiastic but I was immediately told that he would be changing the menu very soon. I couldn't get a refill on my drink so I just walked up and filled my cup. After the training period, the menu changed, the quality changed, and the service changed. None for the better and the owners' attitude is not inviting. I just walked out today without ordering and I do not believe this restaurant will survive. Wok Express was a staple of our community for over two decades and I'm sorry to see it go. I gave them one start because I could not choose zero. read more

chinese food very good, liked the rice and egg rolls nice location next to dollar store, will eat there again. nice place overall, satisfied mr customer read more

My go-to Chinese take out place! Servings are very generous and you always get the food super fast. They don't skimp out on ingredients and the staff are super friendly. My fave here is the Singapore Mi Fun. Best I've had and I've had lots of them from lots of other places. Pork fried rice is the bomb! No complaints here. read more

This is my go to place for Chinese food! They serve food so quick! It is a very calm place to enjoy some delicious food.

Very nice customer service, my iced tea stayed getting refilled at a great pace and the food is also good. I got lemon chicken dinner combo and the portion sizes are also worth the price. It's a little mom and pop, give them a shot next time you think of Chinese of food. read more

This place is pretty solid as far as taste, temp and quality. For some reason when you order a dinner meal to go, they say you don't get soup. They don't have containers. A woman right after me ordered two soups to go. Just doesn't make sense. I sure didn't t get a discount for the lack of an item that is advertised to be with a dinner combo. Dissatisfied with that. If you don't want to give soup for take out, take it off the menu or give a discount. read more

LOVE this place, and the owners!! Been going here for quite awhile now.,.. Always recognized and greeted as if we're a part of their family! They take such good care of you. So attentive, everything is always so clean. Food is always cooked fresh, we have never had anything that wasn't. Food is great, love their Sweet & Sour Chicken!! Very generous with the amount of food with the extremely fair prices! Was expecting not AS PERFECT foods, when ordering delivery, due to distance,.. We were ECSTATIC when we dug in!! It was EXACTLY THE SAME WITH DELIVERY, as it is WHEN DINING IN!!!! read more

The orange chicken was amazing. The lady that helped us was the nicest ever! Thank you for the great experience!!!

Wow...hadn't been to the Wok Express in a bunch of years. It used to be sort of like a Pei Wei sort of thing - order up front and get your food...my gripe then was that they used too good of meat and it just didn't taste right. (I know...'what the heck are you talking about, John?', but hey, orange chicken is supposed to be made with icky hunks of dark meat, you know?) They're now setup as a more traditional sit-down place. Usual sort of lunch combos. Ordered one, got soup, wonton, etc. plus entree. It was good...why haven't I been coming here all these years? read more
