    After seeing all the claims that this place is better than Panda Express and other fast food Chinese joints, I had to come check it out for myself. My first impression when I pulled up: parking is limited and it sits on a narrow path lined up with other businesses. But you can't miss it! The place was clean, and the staff greeted us as soon as we walked in. They have a few tables if you want to dine in too. I was a little surprised that a two-item plate was about $11 (not bad) and that's 2 items + your choice of rice or chow mein. Looking at the food options, nothing really grabbed my attention except the salt and pepper fried fish and the Mongolian beef-- my usual go-tos at other places. But I decided to switch it up and try the mushroom chicken instead. I ended up getting half rice, half chow mein, the salt and pepper fish, and the mushroom chicken. My opinion: The mushroom chicken wasn't mushroomin' at all. It tasted bland and for a second I thought I was getting sick because I couldn't taste anything. I'm a huge fan of mushrooms and I observed only one. I was disappointed. The salt and pepper fish was ok. The chili oil made it tastier. My partner ordered the BBQ pork and orange chicken. I tried both, and the BBQ pork was a little dry, and honestly I prefer Panda Express's orange chicken--but it was still good overall. The rice and chow mein tasted good however, it was overpowered by all the veggies. Less would've been better. I'm really bummed out that I couldn't give this place 5 stars. The service was great, but the food just didn't meet my expectations. My rating is based on the price, portion size, and service, but honestly, the food just lacked flavor. Maybe we'll come back and try the other dishes. But for now, it's a solid 4.

    Wok Express is a new Chinese eatery in the Four Corners area in Concord. They occupy the space left vacant by 1800 Cafe, next to Sushi Momoyama. They recently came to my attention when my brother saw them on a FB food page. I was in the neighborhood on 11/09/2025 and decided to give them a try. It was quiet when I walked a little after 4pm. I was immediately greeted by one of the owners, Minna. The interior was nicely refurbished and clean. Their neon light logo and prosperity figures on top on the steam table caught my attention. My original plan was to order the large family meal, but the portion size made me decide to get several dishes a la carte instead. I ordered broccoli beef, dry fried boneless ribs, and string bean chicken. The total, including tax, was near $50. The a la carte dishes were made to order, and I was very pleased with both the quality and quantity. A copious amount of chopped garlic was used in the two stir-fried dishes, which made them more aromatic and tastier. The dry fried boneless ribs dish was really good. The pieces were meaty and had a nice crunchy exterior. The seasoning had a slight spicy kick to it. I got a chance to chat with Minna, her husband, and the chef. They are all Cantonese restaurant veterans. Nina told me she and her husband used to own an eatery in Berkeley. For a takeout joint, they are solid based on what I ordered. The food exceeded my expectations on both quality and quantity. If you decide to visit, I highly recommend ordering a la carte. Well worth the extra few bucks. I will return. 4 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - 4% credit card fee. - Parking should not be a problem in non-peak business hours. - The entrance to the strip mall can be easily missed. It's directly across the street from FoodMaxx.

    Half Fried Rice and Half Chow Mein with sweet n sour pork, teriyaki chicken and salt n pepper fried fish.

    This place just opened the first week of November. It is right next to Sushi Momoyama/where old 1800 Cafe was. There's plenty of parking in the back of the alley. Service was quick and simple. The lady was very friendly and helpful as well. The place inside and the food station was super clean. It is a bit small too but there are a few 4-top booths to sit and dine in as needed. I ordered the 3 item combo - $12.89. Total came out to $14.15. I got half fried rice and half chow mein (noodles) with sweet n sour pork, teriyaki chicken and salt n pepper fried fish. I would recommend getting the chow mein and sweet n sour pork or chicken. The chow mein (noodles) wasn't too oily and there was the subtle wok hei imparted to the item. The sweet n sour pork is also good and it was big chunks of meat. It was not like some other places with fillers and filled with half batter. Salt n Pepper Fish was crunchy and good too. Just wished I had more. I was also hoping to get their green beans but they didn't have them today. Honestly, it is best to go with the 2 item combo ($10.89) as that is more bang for your buck deal. This place is decent especially for the price point and cheap eats. It reminds me of college days where a combo meals would last us 2 days so we don't have to eat university dining food over the weekend .

    We came around 11:00am, the fish and the shrimp dish were not available yet. They told us will be available in 10 minutes. We came back later for it and it was ready. The price is very reasonable. One item with fried rice bento for $8. My husband got the one fish, one shrimp, and one pork item. All were delicious. We would come back and get those to go again.

    Hot and Sour Soup, the best!

    Yay for a new Chinese restaurant in the area! We came on a Monday afternoon and the parking lot had plenty of parking. The restaurant is spacious and clean, I love the neon sign looks against the interior. So here's how you can order, they have an express section where you can order food from what is out on the counter, we did a plate from here. We love that you can do half rice and half chow mein. The bbq pork is really flavorful and will be ordering again. We also ordered from their Made To Order section, items from here take time to make. We got the hot and sour and it took 10 minutes. This soup was so good, it was hot and spicy and really flavorful. Overall we loved everything we got, it had good flavor and the staff were super kind, checking in on us and others in the restaurant constantly. Definitely recommend checking it out.

    Another one for the win! Second time here & it was Amazing!!! Got three-item plates for my son, my husband, and myself, and everything was incredible. I love how chubby and perfectly chewy the noodles are! Son & I went with all chow mein since I'm not a big rice eater, but I did try a bite of hubby's rice and was pleasantly surprised--super garlicky and delicious! This place is NOTHING like Panda. It's authentic, and the food is constantly coming out fresh. The garlic chicken was amazing, the BBQ pork was tender and sweet, and the salt & pepper wings and fish were absolute fire--crispy, flavorful, and addicting! Son also tried the orange chicken & sweet sticky fried ribs. The restaurant is super clean, service is quick and the owners are just adorable. I love chatting with them--you can tell they've poured their hearts into this place. I wish them continued success, and I'm hoping to become one of their weekly regulars!

    Think Panda Express but better. This place just opened on Monument so I thought I would drop in and order. You can do a 1, 2 or 3 item. I went with the one item of spicy garlic chicken and fried rice. Both were very tasty and fresh. The lady behind the counter was nice. I saw someone else's order of hot and sour soup that also looked good. Good to know this is a new lunch option in the area

    Food doesnt even fill the container

    Most items are around 22 bucks, we got shrimp and noodles that didnt even fill the container they came in and they were so greasy that there was a pool of grease left in the bag that had leaked out of the container. It also wasn't that tasty

    dinner for wife and I. Good food.
    Glen N.

    Wife and I picked up food to go tonight, kind of reminded me of Panda Express on the display inside. When we got home and ate, the food was better than Panda Express, much better. Glad to have this place in our area, we will eat here often.

    Everything was hella good. 3 items cost me $14.14.
    Shaneka S.

    I love the food here. Its really good and flavorful. I know sometimes the food sits for a sec but trust me its still good and I love it. The food tastes like how good fast and cheap chinese food use to taste like back in the early 2000's.

    I ate some before I took a pic. Sweet and sour pork, BBQ pork & chow mein. BBQ pork is really good!!!
    Shawna S.

    I've been several times and decided to leave a review. Food is good! It's a quick and easy spot to grab lunch or dinner for a reasonable pric. The BBQ pork and dry ribs are my favorite. The service is always great! Is it gourmet, no. but for someone who LOVES Chinese food it hits the spot. The place is clean. The people are super nice!

    Very clean
    Lloyd E.

    We came in for lunch today. The food was ok. Nothing really stood out or was bad. We ordered 2 3-item meals & 2 cokes plus tip was $39.16. A bit pricey for this area.There are better places but if you are near Monument and want a quick bite, then your good. Very friendly lady at the counter.

The minced pork sauce clung onto them really really well. The minced pork had a nice balance of sweet and savory, although it leaned towards a little sweeter than I personally prefer. But it wasn't a problem at all, since I was able to adjust the flavor to make it more savory by using the Chicken Granules, Cumin, Chili Oil, and White Pepper condiments. Overall, it was a very satisfying dish! We also tried their new shaved ice dessert. It wasn't like the Hawaiian style shaved ice which is based on frozen water, but more like Korean style Bingsoo with a milky shaved ice base. The flavor and texture were both good, but I thought it was missing the toppings. It relied solely on syrup, and I think it would've been much better with fresh fruit or other toppings to add more flavor. It was $5.99 per order as of July 2026.
