      Good food and fast service. The cuisine was pretty on par with most other Chinese food places. The egg roles are huge! I definitely recommend getting the appetizer sampler platter. I was a big fan of the chicken on a stick and the cheese wontons!

      I ordered the chicken with vegetables, with a side of fried rice. The food was good -- but there weren't a lot of vegetables in the dish, almost as if they were an afterthought. Overall -- it was good -- and definitely a good deal. Plenty of leftovers!

      Will definitely try more foods from Wok Express.

      Ordered from DoorDash delivery for lunch, pretty great so far, the fried rice was yummy, gobbled it up and the lemon chicken is great but the lemon sauce needs a bit more thick, almost like glaze and it's a bit sweet, balance it out with some tartness with extra lemon juice, love lemon chicken with a bit of both, tart and sweet, balanced out, it wouldn't hurt if you add fresh lemon slices to it too as garnish.... Otherwise, I enjoyed it and will definitely order it again, hoping they make the sauce a bit tart also...

      Not my favorite in Birmingham, but my favorite in this section of the city. The people are warm and polite. The food is hot and fresh. The location is easy to get to, and even has indoor dining if you prefer.

      Lunch (takeout) there today. Chen Express II closed for Labor Day weekend. Both restaurants have great food. We had Mongolian Chicken and Kung Pau Shrimp. Same "loads of food" so you have another meal of each left over. We'd give Chen a slight advantage but you can't go wrong at either place.

      They are usually friendly. My food is cooked quickly. I'm able to edit my food to my liking without any complaint. I can even get a spring roll instead of the egg roll without it being a problem (unlike at the other Chinese restaurant up the street). Overall the food is decent. I can't really complain. I'll be back.

      Finally found a good Chinese place in Birmingham. Been to most in Birmingham and this is my favorite so far. Great fried rice and pepper steak. Good prices. Clean environment and friendly staff. They also deliver after 4:30pm or you can get it delivered through door dash. Would recommend!

      Terrific food. I like the Mongolian beef, chicken fried rice, Mushu pork and wonton soup especially. The staff is always very friendly. Quick service and good prices. You can't ask for more. We get takeout from here regularly

      Wok Express has the appearance of your totally average strip mall Chinese restaurant. I went in on a total whim, hoping that it would set itself apart. Good news, folks... it did.

      The interior is pretty small, maybe twelve tables all together. Everything seemed very clean. Even the picture menu that is usually gross (why is that, by the way?) was in focus and somewhat appetizing.

      The lady behind the counter was very nice. So much so, that she even chatted me up about the weather. My order was taken promptly and my Mongolian Beef arrived at my table within minutes. It was served with one egg roll and a portion of fried rice. All three items were pretty dang good. The Mongolian Beef really stood out. It was probably the sweetest I've ever had. The sauce had a caramelized taste to it. It was great. Probably not something I would always want out of my Mongolian Beef, but I can tell you this...I'm going to be craving this sweetness often.

      Wok was better than A-OK. I'm definitely a fan.

      Look I'm from California and I can say hands down they have the best Chinese food. I promise you this place is disgusting. The fried rice didn't taste like fried rice. And that's the basics! Save your money and don't go here.
