Cold take. First timer. Feels like one of those spots that has to cater to a giant range of Midwest tastes and in doing so only has a few great dishes and lots of mediocre ones. Bummer. Crab Rangoon above average Breaded chicken 15 yard penalty. Personally foul Sauces flavorful. Was sorta excitedly expecting that last bit of true sichuan heat-- if you want spicy add that extra. Maybe chat with owners or chef and dig deep in the menu for something special? If I order again will be a bit more collaborative. read more

We went here for dinner with the kids. The food portion is decent size. The food came out super fast, less than one minute after ordered. There were several tables to choose from for seating. Overall a place to go to for quick and filling chinese food read more

Service (carryout) was an unorganized mess. Food was just not good! Hot braised chicken, a very common dish, was not even recognizable.. look or taste. read more

Always pretty solid here. I like to go in and place my order to go because the people are nice and I have to have help trying to figure out what I want. Who is always good and their large portions for a decent price. read more

So I went here for lunch, and was not very impressed. I ordered a half order of chicken fried rice and an order of crab Rangoon. That cost $4 more than the lunch combos! The fried rice also didn't have ANY onions in it...my favorite part! The one good thing is that there was at least chicken all the way to the last bite, so at least they weren't skimpy with that! Probably won't go back here...nothing impressive, very average. read more

speedy & delicious! I ordered online for delivery it arrived in like 20 minutes. I had fried rice & pineapple chicken extra spicy. I told my husband this is best Chinese food ive had in years. wish we would have tried them sooner we move to Little Rock at end of month and I'm going to miss it. read more

I found a cockroach in my food I think they don't have hygiene in their kitchens I think they should do a review in their establishments, I will never buy from this place again read more

Hot & Sour soup-ok Mongolian Beef-more onion than beef Crab Rangoon-didn't receive any Chicken wings-see picture (received half wings?) General Taos chicken-ok, same as anywhere else Egg rolls- ok. Didn't get any sweet & sour to dip in. Curry veggie combo-good but not as many veggies as expected read more

Wok Express - This is considered a chicken wing - Chinese Near Me - Maryland Heights, Missouri

One of the great Chinese Restaurants in the area. Not only do they provide a nice selection of food. They provide great service too. This location is mainly for take-out. However, there are a few tables inside for dine-in. A TV also is there to help pass the time. The food selection is really good. They have a few entrees you don't see at other Chinese restaurants. They also have many jumbo shrimp entrees. However, if your from the coast... these are medium/regular sized shrimp, not really jumbo If you spend $30, check the back of the paper menu. There are many coupons to give you bonus items (Free Appetizer etc... ) If you get a combination plate, add a cup of soup for less than 50 cents. This location also has delivery drivers. If you would like it delivered just give them a call. No need to go through a 3rd party. read more

Food is amazing. It's always hot. Ingredients are top tier and service was fast especially for delivery.

Worst delivery service EVER!!! The delivery driver in his white Tesla drove into my driveway, walked to the front door, rang the doorbell, set the food down and walked away. It was 31deg outside and our food was sitting on the porch. By the time my wife walked the thirty feet from the family room to the door he was pulling out of the driveway and she didn't see the food on the porch because it was blocked by a planter. I called to complain and the manager said he was busy and couldn't stand there for the 20 seconds it takes to walk to the door. He actually said did you expect him to wait for you to get to the door? Just a warning to everyone, this place is horrible!! I found a fingernail in my food years ago, went into the restaurant to confront them and the manager said it couldn't have happened here. Just a nasty place, the manager was a jerk and this after i had put a tip on the bill when i ordered it plus the $2.99 delivery fee. read more

I should have read the reviews. Super - bad cashew chicken. I can taste only soy and celery. All 4 cashew halves were sour. The texture of the chicken is suspicious. read more

Wok Express - Seriously with the celery? - Chinese Near Me - Maryland Heights, Missouri

Um, how do I put this. I eat here, just when I'm looking for a fix, that said the lack of really good Chinese is sad in this area. I will say they are always nice and the food is pretty sizable, but it certainly is not healthy. I am pretty torn on wok express, it's kinda like reviewing a drug you love, but need to quit. read more

wonderful service and good food. Very welcoming people I really enjoyed my experience

Delicious lunch meal at the right price Came out hot, tasty and flavorful! This place is fast also, good recommendation right down the road from my job. read more

Wok Express - Hot Braised Pork Fried Rice w/Crab Rangoon - Chinese Near Me - Maryland Heights, Missouri

the Wok Express on Dorset Rd has become hit or miss with me the last few times I ordered there. The fried shrimp appetizer was so hard and overcooked i could barely bite into it and when I did the taste was terrible. Another time I ordered the egg fu young {sp.} and the taste was so bad I had to spit it out. It was not even in patty form it was in chunks. I called the restaurant to complain and they insisted the chef cooked it the same as possible. However, the owner was very gracious and said the next time I ordered from there he would take the price of the egg fu young {sp.} off the total and he did. Yesterday evening I ordered the chicken lo mein with added crab sticks. It smelled so bad and the taste was worse. I think a contributing factor was the crab sticks tasted off as if they had gone bad. It was vile. read more

I ordered for delivery and it was delivered with sauce all over the bottom of the bag it came in and when I opened the food container, my food was pushed to one side and dripping with sauce out of the container it was in and the food was pretty salty. I was pretty disappointed to say the least. read more

I really love their crab Rangoon and general Tsos chicken. I wish their lo mein was better and that the noodles weren't over cooked. Definitely better Chinese options in the area but wok express is decent read more

Sensational staff, they were extremely friendly and were always happy to see us. The food was also excellent, we went multiple times per week. read more

Our family has been going to Wok Express for nearly 20 years, and we don't plan on stopping any time soon. The staff is always friendly and willing to help with any issues, the food is delicious, prices are great, and service is quick! Even when I moved to Kirkwood for several years, I would go out of my way to get food from here. One of my family members now lives in Ballwin and they still only choose Wok Express! This is hands down our family's favorite Chinese restaurant and will be for years to come! read more

Wok Express - General Tso Shrimp OVERCOOKED Shrimp and OVERPRICED . Orange chicken and lo mein it's not edible. I would NOT recommend - Chinese Near Me - Maryland Heights, Missouri

Our favorite chinese take out is closed for remodeling... so Hubby and I decided to give Wok Express a try as they are close to home and had good reviews. Unfortunately I cannot recommend them.... I called and ordered for takeout (they do have delivery for a minimal fee as well). The employee was helpful and my order was ready when I got there (early from their quote). All this was great. The food presentation was great and everything looked tasty. My disappointment is 2 fold - flavor and quality. We ordered our usual: large chicken fried rice, beef and broccoli combo dinner, crab rangoon, fried wonton and an order of egg foo young gravy (was about $24). The rice was not to my liking.... It wasn't bad necessarily, just not what I prefer. It was like yellow and kinda mushy as opposed to a dark brown and firm. The crab rangoon and wontons both looked large and crispy - problem is there was almost NOTHING inside. I could not even find a piece of beef in the wonton - it was like shredded and so little that the pouch (where the beef should be) didn't poof out :( Similar with crab rangoon - it did have a poof out but almost no filling. The egg foo young gravy was tasty and I did like it. Overall I will not be back because the wonton and rangoons are lacking. They cost about $7 together - I cannot pay that for crispy wonton wrappers with no filling. read more

Most Chinese food in this area is pretty decent, and this is no exception. After coming here about a dozen times I can categorically say you won't be disappointed. It won't knock your socks off, but is better than many. The portions are decently sized and will definitely satisfy you. Like I said, been here before, and will be back again. read more

Ordered here tonight and requested onions be kept out of the item. Returned home y to I find onions and when I called they only wanted to argue. Customer service isn't important here! read more

This is without a doubt, the worst Chinese food I have ever had in my life. The chicken has overpowering gamey tastes NASTY. You'd be better off going across the street to QT and getting a couple hotdogs. Save yourself some money and the hotdogs are a lot better. read more

Used to be much better. Staff was friendly, but 2 of the 3 dishes ordered were terrible. Hot braised boneless chicken combination plate- rice was good. Crab Rangoon was sour and straight cream cheese. Sauce was good and spicy but the chicken was terrible. Very chewy and over cooked breading. Several pieces had hard bits that couldn't be chewed. Honey chicken combination plate- rice and crab Rangoon same as above. Chicken was supposed to be white meat but couldn't eat most of it. Was very hard, stringy pieces. Ended up throwing away. Healthy choice chicken and broccoli- the only good dish. Chicken and broccoli was steamed. Only flavor was from the garlic sauce but tastes the best of all the food we purchased. We used to frequent the restaurant when we lived up the road years ago. It's a shame they have gone downhill so much. We won't return. read more

This is the worst food I've ever had THIS IS NOT CHICKEN!! Idk what they are serving but it's not chicken!!! It smells really bad and look's nothing like real chicken wings! I also ordered shrimp lo mein also and it was spoiled shrimp I spent $16 on food that wasn't even edible DO NOT EAT HERE!! I wish I could add 0 stars! read more

Wok Express provides solid Chinese fast food and doesn't deviate from the standards. There's fried rice, chicken or beef broccoli, won tons, egg rolls, General Yao's chicken, dumplings, and the other typical entrees and sides. The shop lives up to its Express name with made to order dishes delivered quickly. The dining room is plain but clean. Simple, fast, and reasonably priced. read more

I ordered the Egg Foo Young from this place and it was disgusting. This is probably the easiest dish to make. It's mostly an omelette with bunch of filling. What I got resembled more of a fried cruller than it did an omelette. I would need an electron microscope to find the egg in this 'egg foo young'. It was all batter and I could not find any of the filling. Very disappointing. read more

We're long time customers but the past 3-4 visits have not lived up to their past reputation. Total chaos in front of house. Lack of sauces for appetizers and 1 packet of sauce for three dinners. Specifically asked to be sure fortune cookies were included...they weren't. And it took nearly an hour from when I ordered, in person, to get order. Boss man needs to come out front and get things back in order! read more

Originally from the Springfield MO area, home of Springfield Style Cashew Chicken. However, been in the STL area since 2004. This is quite possibly the closest I have found to the "Springfield Style" since we came to the area. Really, really good Crispy Chicken with fried rice. The sauce is not as dark as some places, which is I prefer. I gave them 4 stars only because the Crab Rangoon was good but not as good as other places. Otherwise I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

I literally drive from University City to get food from this place - U City has some AWESOME Chinese restaurants, but they're in their own league. You go to U City for authentic Chinese. But sometimes, sometimes you want cheap, greasy, comfort food Chinese, the Chinese food that America made, and this is it. The fried rice is everything you could ask for. The crab Rangoons are perfectly crispy. The egg rolls are delicious. All the different meat options have been great in my opinion. If you're looking for that typical fast food Chinese, this is it. Not to mention, the pricing! They have lunch special pricing ALL DAY LONG. It's amazing. Whether it be for lunch or dinner, if you're looking for that local cheap Chinese place with good food, this is it. I promise. read more

I ordered the special fried rice and it was very disappointing, warm yes sure but the so called "beef" or whatever it is I've fed my dog nicer beef. The quality was very low even for the price. On a good note the shrimp and the chicken was 2/5 read more

The food was delicious, priced well, and the portions were generous! I will definitely be ordering again.

I've been here a couple times now and it is a typical hole in the wall Chinese joint. Prices are cheap and portions are smaller for this type of restaurant. I definitely would say order chicken or pork if you want more meat. I ordered the beef once and it was seriously like 4 or 5 small chopped pieces. other than that its aite, I would definitely recommend other hole in the wall Chinese places. THEY ALSO DON'T GIVE YOU PLASTIC UTENSILS WHEN YOU ORDER DELIVERY. unforgivable read more

Wok Express - Combination plate : beef - Chinese Near Me - Maryland Heights, Missouri

This used to he my FAV place to get Chinese food, but their quality & flavor have been continuously decreasing :( They used to have THE best hot n sour soup, but noticing some ingredients missing & now tasting just so so. The chow mein is also lacking the flavor it once had. Im very sad they're choosing to compromise on the quality & taste. I'd rather pay more for the way it used to be made-and we ARE paying more for a much lesser value. read more

I used to order from them all the time back before covid when my office was in their delivery area, unfortunately my house is outside of their area so I hadn't had them in over 4 years! Last night I decided to order for pick up and let me say, they were just as good as I remembered. We had egg drop soup, crab Rangoon, fried wontons, fried pot stickers, egg rolls, beef and broccoli, cashew chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and chicken lo mein. All of it was cooked perfectly and was hot and fresh when I picked up. It is a bit further than I would prefer to go to pickup food, but it was so good and I've really missed their lunch specials! read more

So, I'm tired of poor customer service from this restaurant!! When there's a complication or issue with the order, they are quick to tell you that it's your fault. Language barrier or not! That's not customer service! Find a solution don't tell me I'm the problem. I ordered General Tso's chicken for a co-worker, but what actually got ordered was General's chicken. Sounds similar but it's not. Upon calling to advise of the mixup, I'm told it was my fault. I would have accepted an apology, then been advised, "we he order was placed with this instead of that, we are so sorry for the confusion..." than to be told we don't know that you actually wanted this and not that. Use common sense coupled with customer service, sprinkled with common decency!! read more

I was working in the area for a week and ate there a total of 7 times. I saw the prices and didn't expect much but they exceeded my expectations by far. I had the Mongolian beef, human chicken, braised pork, wonton soup, egg roll, hot and sour soup, and noodle soup.....not all on the same trip of course. You can taste the flaming wok flavor in the food. The quality is better than Panda Express at half the price. read more

Meal was pretty solid but the waiter (Dorch I think that was his name) complained at the end about the tip. Even after we gave him better tip he sad WTF. Very unprofessional and not a good way to end the expensive dinner read more
