I was at Roush Honda getting service, so I walked over for lunch. Very quiet inside at 12:30, but the take-away and food service deliveries were brisk. Never been. Their counter server, perhaps the owner, guided me and she raved about the broth they make for Tonkatsu Ramen. So I said yes. Good Choice. It was full of noodles, vegetables, half egg, and two nice slices of pork. And she's right, the broth had a lot of flavor. When I'm in the area I'll try the chicken next, but you can't go wrong with the Tonkatsu. read more

One of the reasons I'm angry we were called out of Columbus is my love for Wukong. Not too large a place, we always catch them at non-peak. So there's plenty of room and we get a lot of attention. It's more sit down and dine then an express. The shrimp and tuna always taste fresh as well as the salmon sashimi. The California Poke Bowl is an excellent choice. A large bowl of Jumbo Shrimp, Crab, avocado, corn and a tasty house mayo at a very reasonable price. Then there's the Korean fried chicken which is out of this world. It was a bit out of the way for us, but they are always so kind and service is so quick and efficient. Nikki is the best! 12/24 read more

Been meaning to come here for, well, a few years. But I rarely have the chance to eat up this way, and the reviews were a bit mixed, so I didn't make it a priority. Come in, 1pm on a weekday, just a few customers. Friendly and efficient staff (owners, I think.) A variety of offerings: ramen, Korean fried chicken, donburi, poke, etc. I went with KFC tenders, in curry sauce, and crab Rangoon. Came out in a reasonable amount of time. The Rangoons were beautifully made and plated. Check out the photos. Inside, mainly cheese, with tiny flecks of krab. Still, very enjoyable, with the creamy sweetness and the super crispy shell. The tenders were big, and while not the best KFC I've ever had they were pretty good. Crispier than American style, tasty sauce with a touch of heat, tender chicken. Served with some diced white radish (I think.) I got a Coke but they also have bubble tea. I'll be back. Lots of other stuff I want to try. Easy parking in the Schrock/Rt. 3 plaza. Handy to the hardware store and Half Price, etc. read more

Where can I find a place that offer ramen, Korean fried chicken and bubble tea? If you have that same question, Wukong Express would be your answer They are located around the Westerville area and it is the same spot that previously once a seafood boil restaurant. Their set up didn't change up too much and fairly spacious within. Getting a bowl of ramen is the driver for me to try this place out. I got the WuKong Ramen which consist of Chashu pork belly, marinated minced pork, fish cake, half-cooked egg, kikurage mushroom, bean sprout, green onion, seaweed, itokiri and black garlic oil in their house spicy Tonkotsu broth. I really like the chashu pork belly and marinated minced pork. Both are very flavorful and for sure can serve prefect by itself. The broth is smooth, however, the flavor can turn up a notch. I think with all the loaded topping, it dilute the flavor when everything combine. I would need to come back to give other ramen a try and maybe a piece of fried chicken or two read more

First time trying waking express and over all pretty good. I got the spicy salmon poke bowl. Pretty filling and lots of toppings, all fresh . The service was a little slow but I believe there was only one person there during lunch hour. There is a lot of inside seating so nice spot to go grab some lunch near uptown Westerville read more

Great Karaage Donburi! Mildly spicy, a nice amount of white rice, covered with fried chicken, corn, furikake, green onion and then eel sauce and spicy mayo sauce. I also ordered the Harumaki which came with a sweet chili sauce. They were crunchy on the outside and tasty on the inside. I would definitely order this meal again, I was stuffed when I finished it. read more

Soon as we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly staff and took us to a table in the back. The place was pretty empty when we arrived however, most of the tables were dirty. The table that they set us was close to the bathroom, and it smelled! I don't what happened, but it smelled like urine. We moved our table close to the front windows to avoid the smell. Our server came and took our order. The food came out relatively quickly. We ordered the Wukong Mango Green Tea with Mango bubbles, the Soy Garlic Chicken Wings, and the Kar-Rage Donburi. All the food we had tasted good. Nothing stood out, everything was decent. I think for me the smell inside the restaurant kind of ruined the experience. read more

This restaurant just newly opened, I came here for the milk tea unfortunately NOT available yet per the server, bummer! However, the taste of the food made up for our disappointment. Heres what we had: 1. Salmon Poke bowl, tasty, fresh and great portion. 2. Tantan Ramen thick creamy broth, very tasty as well. 3. Snow Onion Chicken (says on the menu) Red Sweet Onion in the picture ( theyre the same) this was enjoyable kinda like sweet soy with sweet slivers of onion topping and quite crispy. You can choose between tenders or bone-in. We got the bone in and they were good! 4. Shrimp Tempura Donburi another tasty meal. Overall nice experience, we'll be back hopefully boba's are available by then. Happy tummy read more

I ordered the seafood ramen and it was basically instant shin ramen with some added seafood. I was so disappointed. I was craving a rich ramen broth and instead got something I could have made from home with a package of noodles from the grocery store. I also ordered the dumplings, those were good. read more

I went with my daughter this afternoon! I got Takoyaki, seaweed salad, harimaku, and the chatsu donburi, with a taro bubble tea! Food was delicious, the only things that prevented it from being 5 star was the rice seemed old and I wasn't a fan of the egg and bamboo shoots being cold while everything else was warm. As well as the octopus in some of the takoyaki was so small I couldn't even find it when I bit into it. But over all will be back! As well as the staff member Niki was so kinda and helpful. Especially when my daughter was tired and ready for a nap (sorry for her screaming!) it was extremely quiet while I was there around 1pm and seemed to slowly get more busy. I hope business is well for them! read more

Wukong Express - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

I placed an order online to go, so I didn't dine inside. However, the restaurant looked nice and clean. It's in the strip mall and parking shouldn't be an issue. The staff seemed friendly, though I just paid and left without having much interaction. Kara-age was tender but the pieces were way too small in my opinion. Also, Kara-age should be fried with flour or (potato/corn) starch. I think this was friend with fine bread crumbs. There is nothing wrong with adding their own twist but the texture was definitely different from what I had expected with Kara-age in mind. I didn't enjoy the ramen at all. The noodles were way too soft with no bite at all. I understand I didn't eat it right away since I had to take it home, but I was literally 5 minutes away and the noodles were separated from the soup. The soup lacked flavor. I might try a different ramen next time but I don't recommend the tonkotsu. read more

My best friend and I are always on the ready to find good ramen in CBUS. When I saw Wukong had opened, we immediately checked it out. There may have been only 2-3 other active tables. The service was weird. I think 3 different folks helped us. The lady who took the order didn't seem to know the menu very well, had to point and show - which is fine except that I ordered the chicken karaage (which I pointed to and she repeated) and instead I got a crab Rangoon (which my best friend also got, so a little less exciting for sharing). The ramen overall was mid. The egg was great, the chasu was great, I liked the noodles too, but overall not a fan of the broth. Even though I didn't order it the crab Rangoon, it was pretty good. Heavy on the cream cheese side, fan of the wrappers they used. Hard to say I'll be back given the broth was under whelming and the service was weird, but maybe I'll reconsider in the future. Meshikou still reigns supreme. read more

We ordered tonkatsu ramen, kaiju ramen, and a snow chicken. The ramens were both good. I liked the presentation/packaging so that the toppings and ramen are separated and don't get soggy. The Korean fried chicken was also good. We got the snow chicken flavor. The chicken was not as crispy since it was tossed in some type of sauce before having the snow onion sauce on top. The restaurant has a few sit down tables, but we got our order to go. I wouldn't say this an authentic restaurant, but it's still pretty darn good and great for a take out place. read more

Absolutely delicious meal fast and fresh, evemy 82 yoa mother likes both the tonkatsu ramen and the chicken karage.

I was first biased against this place because I don't always have the best experiences with restaurants with the word express in the name. But boy was I wrong about this place. This place is a jack of all trades. They have "authentic" ramen, boba tea, Korean fried chicken, and more. The restaurant is very clean and spacious inside, and very quiet. A little too quiet that you wish they played some music. The employees were very nice and very attentive. I first ordered the crab Rangoons and Takoyaki, both very good. The Rangoons were probably the best-presented ones I've ever had. The ramen was good, and I'm glad I ordered it there because the server notified me that my choice was spicy even though it didn't have a pepper label next to the name. I also ordered one with a pepper label next to it and that one probably needed five peppers next to the name it was so spicy. I ordered boba tea during the meal, planning for it to be made by the end, but they brought it immediately, this place is so efficient. This was definitely my top three boba teas that I've had. They put slices of orange, strawberry, lemon, and lime in them and it makes it taste super floral and citrusy it's amazing. I still need to try the Korean fried chicken but I will be more than happy to come back here. read more

Located in a strip mall (seems like alot if hidden gems start out this way ). There's plenty of parking at the strip, and offers some interesting neighbors along the strip if you want to walk off your meal. I believe there is a Plato's closet and a half-price book store. The place is very unassuming and casual. The menu is displayed at the takeout / order counter. They are best known for their Korean fried chicken, Ramen, bowls, Boba, tea, and rice bowls. We ordered the curry, fried chicken, and the soy ginger fried chicken. We opted for one to have the additional Snow onions topped and most of my family enjoyed that. It did add some crunchiness and creaminess to the spicy heat in the fried chicken. I was the only one who didn't really care for it because it made that dish very heavy. I think I would like it better if it was more vinegar marinated instead of a heavy mayo cream consistency. I did like the addition of scallion shreds, although the diced radishes were my favorite accompaniment. We also ordered two noodle dishes. My veggie one with tofu was generously portioned and delicious. I don't think that the noodles had the same type of chew and bounciness as some other great Ramen spots in the city though. I don't think I would get the seafood one again, because it lacked a lot of the seafood umami and they seem to use a typical grocery store seafood blend. Still a really terrific meal though and they seem to do a lot of DoorDash and Uber eats takeout. We saw several delivery people come in during our dinner. The place is very, very casual and reminds me of some fast food restaurants with its seating and minimal decor. They do have a huge accent wall mural though that looked cute. Not the place to come for anything special, but will definitely hit the spot for those noods or Korean fried chicken cravings if you happen to be in the area. read more

My husband and I have gotten take out numerous times since Wukong Express opened near our home. This restaurant is really wonderful! The food is excellent. It's fresh, delicious, and very reasonably priced. The staff is always friendly and extremely helpful. If you're looking for great food, and you're in the Westerville area, give Wukong Express a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent food with pretty good portions. I didn't have high expectations considering the "express" in the title/the location and the many competitors in the area - but everything was delicious, flavorful, and honestly as good, if not better then competitors. It's a little out of the way, but considering how quick it takes to come out, it's an easy get in-get out place to dine in, and there are a ton of spots (both parking and tables). read more

Holy fuck the only reason I went here is because it was close to where I was. I got the Thai Tea and the Red Tatsu Ramen. The broth in the Red Tatsu Ramen is actually trash. It tasted sour, disgusting, almost like sweat. The broth was also completely broken. You can taste nothing but this weird sour taste even when you eat the noodles. It also smells like someone just threw up. The place was really empty when I arrived. I really wonder why also there's random kids running around everywhere why... read more

I went back for the bubble tea since my husband wanted to try. He had the Taro and I had the Brown sugar. Service was a little odd. I asked a question and the person working was very quiet and not very friendly, but also not rude or anything. I'll give it a 4 for the tea. Still not sure if I'll go back for the food, but we will see. read more

Food was delicious. Broth in the ramen was really good, but rich. I will definitely go back.

Miss Nikki, thank you for the great service 謝謝, 和你談論語言和文化真是太好了。當我有更多時間時，我會多待一會兒，只是為了和你多聊聊。 The Ramen bowl was great. The last time I had anything close was a fast trip to Hong Kong in 2016. I had the Ramen bowl with beef, the broth was rich, nicely seasoned, mild, the noodles had a great texture. The vegetables were fresh and crisp bean sprouts. I also had a milk bubble tea. Was really good too. Almost like the milk tea also in HK. the next time I go. (soon) I will try the Rangoon. Looks really good. And want to try the brown sugar tea. Brings back memories of the Sugar Panda tea also HK. Former GI, bari patient, I could only eat a small amount. 尼基。非常親切，也非常漂亮。If they were hiring I would probably work there. read more

1 - I'm slowing making my way through the menu and I'm happy to say that I am not disappointed. Food is fresh. Crab Rangoon is creamy and crispy. I can't get enough of the pork gyoza. And the poke bowls are so delicious and again very fresh. 2- the staff is so polite and friendly I don't know how to respond because they all carry themselves so respectfully and calm. 3 - the location is just within walking distance to my job so I love that. The place needs more traffic and they definitely deserve more customers. Restaurant is very clean and neat. 1000000% recommend with no hesitation. read more

The food is good, and the lady is kind. I always get the salmon or the Korean chicken tenders.

There wasn't any flavor in the ramen it looked good but that was it. The chicken wings were alright but the sauces were just too sweet. I did like their boba though good consistency got their mango. read more

I like to get their poke bowls and they have a nice variety and great taste. However they are just too skimpy with the tuna and salmon. The bowls we got the last couple times are loaded with rice to try to make them look bigger. But the stuff I want - tuna and salmon - is way too small. At first I thought they had good pricing but now I realize I'm mostly getting rice. Oh and btw the "convenience fee" for online orders is annoying. Ok it's only $1 but still. I take it off the tip. read more

I got the shrimp tempura donburi and my husband got the tuna poke bowl and we got the crab rangoon. The crab rangoon had no crab, it tasted like a dessert with cream cheese only. The shrimp donburi had so much cream sauce I felt like I was eating Italian food, which I don't like (because of the cream sauces). My husband liked his poke bowl, which he thought was above average. He said it had a lot of tasty ingredients. However, overall, we are unlikely to return. read more
