Pretty good chinese food, and have been going there for years. Owners are very friendly. They cook everything fresh. Sweet and sour chicken and wontons are a couple of our favorites.

This place is fast, and very delicious! I had ordered take out here about 4 or 5 times now. They advertise on their to-go menu, "IT'S THE BEST, HEALTHY, ALWAYS FRESH!". The last time I ordered here, I had asked if they use MSG in there food. They said that the oyster sauce they used contained MSG and was present in the beef chow mein and the kung pao I had ordered. I understand many restaurants have been known to use MSG in their food, but how can they advertise as "HEALTHY" if if they use an ingredient widely known to cause medical issues like migraines or permanent brain damage?

Dirty restaurant. Last time I went, my food all smelled and tasted fishy. They do have good portion sizes.

My wife and I went to Wokee Express for the first time a few days ago. I like to try new places my wife does not. upon entering the restaurant I was not excited about the decor and the seating, but it seemed clean so that got the approval from my wife. We order our favorite kind of Chinese food to give the place a fair chance. We were pleasantly surprised when our food cam out as the portion size exceeded our expectations. The food was very good and I would recommend this place to anyone. The only reason for the 4 stars is the atmosphere.

am typing this as i am eating my Wokee Express lunch combo.. it's so delicious it deserves a review ASAP! MUCH MUCH MUCH better than Panda Express.. Wokee Express doesnt taste perserved, although i dont know if they use MSG.. i shld have asked.. i ordered the orange chicken lunch combo with white rice instead of their fried ( was just in the mood for white rice) and got it in a jiffy (means less than 10 minutes) the crab puff that comes with the combo was really good.. although the egg roll was kinda weird-- in many of my reviews i said i hate and dont eat egg rolls.. but i just have to give them a chance so i only had ONE BITE!!! it tasted like it has seasoning of some sort.. interesting taste, but like i said i dont like egg rolls.. the Orange chicken was really good.. did taste orangey unlike panda express and other chinese american chains they dont taste like orange.. So Wokee Express hit the spot.. Orange chicken is orange chicken.. very good!! Lunch special combo was $5.25 or $5.75 worth every cent! I love dumplings but next time... ( i wonder how it tastes though, i bet it wld be good here 10 dumplings for $6.75 i think.. not bad) ill be back! i also want to try Yoko Fast Food too.. BTW they are open everyday except 3-4:30 as posted on their MENU .. its their lunch break.. Just so you know..

Love this place... I would say it is 90% consistent in the preparation of my favorite dishes... meaning 90% of the time is the ideal taste and texture... the other 10% it's still good but just not the way I really like it. The owners are super nice and remember you when you return. Nice little corner chinese place... love it!

I went to Wokee Express tonight, per my friend's suggestion. If I'm craving Chinese food, I typically go to Taste Of China. However, I wanted to try something different, so I asked around, and was directed to Wokee Express. The price of the food is great. At dinner, I got a large chicken plate combo. "Combo" means it comes with rice, egg roll, and crab puff. All of this only cost $7.75. However, the chicken was over-cooked, and the batter the chicken was fried in was soggy and mushy. There were no carrots or peas in the fried rice, which is a huge deal to me for some reason. So overall, if you're on a budget and want some good Chinese food, go to Taste Of China.

This is my favorite Chinese place in the entire Phoenix area. They have great prices and they give great portions. They are cheap quick and have quality food. I usually get either the Mongolian beef or sesimie (sp) chicken, along with an order of crab puffs.For those of you who like spicy make sure to ask for the hot sauce and be ginger with it because it will destroy most people.

I've been there several times trying various menu items and all have been good. The Chicken Fried Rice (I always start with this on my 1st time in) was flavorful and had lots of chicken and vegetables. I have moved on to Pepper Steak and Mongolian Beef and a few others and they have all been quite tasty.

This place was really pretty good. Food served take-out style in styro containers, but it is quite tasty, and huge portions. Working in Gilbert, it seems really hard to find good Chinese food for lunch, and this fits the bill perfectly. While it may not be perfect in terms of culinary execution, it is definitely tasty and I will be back for sure.

I'm surprised I didn't read anything about the smell that sucker punches you right in the kisser when you walk in. Maybe it's the fish tank. Hopefully it's not the kitchen. Ordered a #5 (Kung pao chicken and beef chow mein), Crab puffs, and Mongolian beef. Very friendly gal behind the counter that was helpful with some of her favor suggestions from the menu. Crab puffs = very good Egg roll = tasted like cinnamon (too much 5-spice? ) Beef chow mein = very good. Would order again. Kung Pao Chicken = didn't taste like Kung pao except for the peanuts, but it was a spicy and tasty dish. Mongolian beef = very bland. Would not order again.
Crab puffs are ok, large portion size. I had the orange chicken, pepper stake, and Mongolian beef...i didn't care for any of it. Tastes like boiled meat...i would rather have a less and better than large and have to throw the rest a way. I won't be going back and I would not recommend it! 2 stars because the crab puffs are ok, the fish tank is cool, and the people are very nice. Sad...so many good places in the area too.

Short and sweet........ no, not a Chinese dish. my review Good food, consistent quality, very good portions, amazing house fried rice you got to try it. offers healthy brown rice. Twice a week or more, much healthier than burgers and fries.

Really surprised at the reviews for this place. We usually order from King Wok but decided to give this place a try since it's closer. We really wanted to like the food after talking to the person on the phone she was very patient and informative. ( IE: you can mix any 2 entrees on the special. It doesn't have to be the pairings listed) The lady who helped us when we picked up the food was very nice too. I forgot to order white rice and their fried rice is plain. I did not like the eggrolls. The food was just meh. I much prefer King Wok. :/

I have tried many places and this is the best food in town! The house chow main is the best! The portions are huge so you get some leftover!

Great place for fast Chinese food. Always fresh but quick service. One of my favorite places to go for local Chinese food. I keep it simple with orange chicken. Sometimes spicy or Teriyaki chicken. Also not expensive.

The sign on the door says made fresh... and they weren't lying. My food was delicious, hot, and definitely fresh. Looks like I found the only good Chinese food in Gilbert. I can stop looking now!

Last time I was here I ordered the sesame chicken and scallop beef. I enjoyed the sesame chicken and the only thing that I didn't like about the scallops and beef where the scallops where just plain. Make sure if you pay with your ATM card they don't use it as credit like they did with me when I asked for debit so I wouldn't get charged credit card fees.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

My fiancé always wants to try new food. Tonight he had a craving and found we had this restaurant close to our home. In my opinion it was the worst food I have ever tasted. My fiancé also felt the same way. I got sweet and sour chicken and beef chow mein the beef in the chow mein was very chewy that I couldn't even fully chew it and swallow it. The noodles were very sticky as if they were left in water and dried. The fried rice (if that's what you would call it) was regular rice but was stuck together. No flavor at all. Very unhappy with this place and will not be returning. Spending $24.00 on 2 plates that had to be tossed. Very disappointing.
