The Wok Express is a straightforward Chinese restaurant and takeaway spot tucked into a busy Scottsdale strip mall. It’s the kind of place that locals turn to when craving familiar, home-style Chinese dishes made fresh and served quickly. The atmosphere is clean and unpretentious, with an emphasis on friendly, welcoming service from the new owners who seem genuinely invested in getting the details right. Whether you’re picking up a quick lunch or ordering dinner to-go, the focus here is on reliable, straightforward flavors that satisfy without fuss.

The menu leans heavily on classic favorites like Sweet & Sour Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and Kung Pao Chicken, but there’s also a good range of options including orange fried tofu and various seafood dishes. Patrons looking for lunch specials will find popular plates such as Sweet and Sour Shrimp with white rice and a variety of noodle and soup choices like hot and sour soup and egg drop soup. Those stopping in for takeout often appreciate the portion sizes and the balance of flavors—not overly heavy, but rich enough to feel indulgent.

People who come here tend to appreciate consistency and a sense of being known by the staff, with many regulars mentioning how the owners take time to check in and make sure everything is to their liking. The vibe isn’t trendy or flashy—it’s dependable, which fits well with the family-owned feel and the convenience of quick service in a no-frills setting.

Best times to visit are during weekday lunch hours or early evening for takeout, especially for anyone looking to curl up at home with a satisfying meal after a long day. While dine-in seating is available, this spot attracts many who want food to-go or a quick bite without the usual restaurant wait times. The location on East Greenway Road makes it an accessible choice for office workers, families nearby, and anyone passing through Scottsdale wanting a solid, comforting Chinese meal.

This is one of my favorite spots for Chinese food! The shrimp fried rice is absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, full of flavor, and loaded with plump shrimp. The owners are so kind and always make you feel welcome. Great food, great people, and consistently great service. Highly recommend!

Love the atmosphere. Owner makes sure I’m taken care of every time you can really tell they care about food quality and customer service. Highly recommend if you’re looking for family owned Chinese food.

I went in to order for takeout. Very clean. The new owners are very friendly and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. .Ordered my food(Happy Family) and went home . I started to eat and noticed that the food was not what I ordered. Appeared to be chicken with vegetables. I could have called to tell them, but I drove back to the restaurant to tell them the food I received was not what I ordered. They were very gracious and gave me a whole new order(what I originally ordered ,Happy Family at no charge. I was not expecting another order, I just wanted to tell him what happened. He said friendship and good customer service was important. The food on both orders was exceptional !!! 5 stars

Honestly came here just because it was the only spot open past 8. And wow I will definitely be coming back here frequently. The BBQ fried rice and the beef fried rice was amazing and the best I’ve ever had, the orange chicken was fresh and crispy, and the egg drop soup was so delicious. Everything was so flavorful and savory! Even though I ordered take out the time I spent there waiting for my food to finish up the atmosphere and Customer service was some of the best I’ve experienced! Thank you!

Great food for the price. Went there on Valentine's. It is nothing special but the food is very good. We had the dinner special which includes an entrée, soup, 3 crab puffs, an egg roll, and fried rice. Large portions. The service was slow with take-outs and walk in. But the food was fresh and tasted good. The soup was served immediately. The crab wonton had lots of cream cheese and the egg rolls were homemade. The sizes are good and we had enough to take home for another meal. The special was a little over $12.00. Reasonably priced for what we got. Definitely will return.
