I'm so disappointed with my food order. If I had eaten here I would returned the food. The chowmein was over cooked to the point that it's mushy. The fried rice has no flavor & the sweet & sour pork is absolutely te

They were matching

The total was matching ahaha anyways they have an awesome staff very kind even tho I was 50 cents short they def had our back so yummy will come back because the meat was sooooo tender and vivaaaaa Cambodia !

Hot and sour soup

My family and I have been coming to China Wok Express for years, and it has truly never failed us. It's one of those places that just feels like home. The food is always great. Their hot and sour soup is my absolute favorite. I crave it all the time. What really makes this place special, though, is the owner. She is so incredibly kind and welcoming. She honestly feels like family at this point. You can tell she cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. If you're looking for comforting, reliable Chinese food with heart behind it, this is the spot. We'll definitely keep coming back for many more years

Best food ever my favorite I always come best service ever and tah is the sweetest and amazing when I come I can't not cheat on her

3 entrée combo!

I walked into "Woks Deli" like a woman on a mission. I told them straight up, "I am looking for…read moregood Chinese food." No small talk. No flirting. This was a food emergency. Because let me tell you... it has been a **long, long time** since I've had Chinese food that made me believe in love again. Then the food came out. The rice? STICKY...PERFECTLY STICKY!!! Perfect. MOIST, not mushy... just minding its business and being amazing. Like, where have you been all my life? Why did you let me suffer like that? And the sweet and sour pork... listen... crispy on the outside, tender on the inside... it had layers. Emotional layers. I wasn't just eating, I was healing. The Broccoli and beef...game changer. The broccoli had a fresh snap to it mmmm fresh! But what blew me away was the beef, it resembled Wagu meet. So tender so flavorful. I was sitting there, slowly munching my night away, completely unbothered, living my best life like I had just found inner peace... in a takeout container, but better, it was on a plate! At one point I literally thought, "Is this what happiness tastes like?" Because I was in full "Wok Deli" Chinese style. No passport, no jet lag, just vibes. I didn't want to leave. I considered ordering more just to stay longer like, "Don't rush me, I'm having a moment." If you've been out here struggling like I have, eating mediocre Chinese food and pretending it's okay... stop. Go here. Fix your life. 10/10. Came for food, left emotionally fulfilled.

Tried their food for the first time we got a variety of things, peppered beef ( it was a bit tough,…read morenice flavor, but it was surely not filet mignon) Chinese food is tricky, you either get a big portion with lots of fried pieces or small portion better quality, I think I prefer the latter. The value was good, quality can be improved. The staff were friendly! I think dining in for lunch would be the way to go!

When it was brought to my table, I was in shock!! It looked like somebody had vomited on this The shrimp had such a strong, pungent shrimp taste that I knew it was not fresh besides the gross soupy mess that it was drenched in. I asked the woman that served us that I did not like the dish at all, and if she could bring me something else. She immediately told me "no"without even allowing me to explain why I did not like the dish. I told her I would like something else again and she said "no u pay" I told her I would not pay for this dish and she said she would call the police if I didn't Every restaurant I've been to has always accommodated the customer, but this lady was from another planet She not only ruined my lunch with my daughter, but proceeded to set her alarm when I walked out She followed us out and started yelling at me and all I could tell her back was that she was a terrible person & gave horrible service Do yourself a favor & NEVER EAT HERE!!
