My food was meant to be delivered to me by 19:45 - over an hour later than the estimated time (which I was entirely OK with). However, once it got to 20:15 and my food had still not arrived and no information as to the ETA of my food had been sent, I decided to ring Wok Express. Unfortunately, it took 24 phone calls spanning over an hour (the first 23 showed the line as busy) before I finally got through to find out about my food. The lady who answered informed me that it was arriving, and sure enough, it arrived, only 3 hours after I ordered it! And one and a half hours after the confirmed time. Naturally, I asked for some form of compensation, either monetary or at least a coupon to encourage future patronage. Instead, I was rudely told that they would not give me any form of compensation for my wait and that the phone calls had been turned off because they were so busy they didn't want any more business. A business plan that decides to refuse commerce and make it next to impossible to be contacted when knowingly delivering a faulty service is not one that should be considered reliable. 1 Star is listed as abysmal, and I struggle to think of a term that better describes the service and 'punctuality' of Wok Express.

Ordered food, it stated that I'll take an hour for it to arrive. After patiently waiting for over an hour and still not getting our food, my partner decided to ring the place, just to find out that apparently the driver had already delivered it. After about 5 min, the driver hung up on him refusing to acknowledge that he could have delivered to the wrong place. So then I picked up my phone to ring the place and to request for a refund. The phone once again was handed to the driver who extremely rude, stating that I'm lying, and that I picked up the food and just want a free meal. After asking him to describe how I look like if according to him I picked up the food, he was obviously unable to do so. As talking to him was going nowhere, took the matters with JustEat who will sort out the refund. Will not order from here again, and would advise others not to do so aswell if you want to save yourself the hassle.

  • Martin Cloherty

Delivery absolutely appalling, 1hr 45 mins late. On the phone to see what was happening for 10 mins whilst two people were having a separate conversation! When asked several times we eventually got told that for some unknown reason the driver didn't deliver the food and when question why the lady replied "I've got a headache!" to which my fiance replied "well we have empty stomachs". However when we finally got it the food was nice but by that time anything would have... So overall if you want nice food but ain't hungry when you order then go for it, because by the time it arrives you will be hungry...

My order never arrived!!! This restaurant lied to me on numerous occasions More than 30 mins after the expected delivery time I contacted the restaurant who told me my order was on its way. I rang than another 30 mins later to be told they don’t know when it will be delivered. My young children were extremely hungry so I had to cook for them instead. When I tried to complain via Just Eat I was told my order had been delivered. I’d avoid this place at all costs

  • Saranyan Deivasigamani

Its an amazing place to get Chinese food. cheap and healthy. Its a kind of home food, me and my wife love their vegetable noodle. They have a good variety of starters such as veg and non veg spring rolls, salt and pepper tofu etc. As its located out of the main road there is not much rush and there is very less waiting time. They also do home delivery which as well is quicker than other restaurant. Hope you will have a good experience.

  • James Cammack

I used to go here more often in my first year of university, given such the short distance from my previous accommodation; however, I do order the odd takeaway from Wok Express here and then, and the food is still great! The workers are very nice, you don't have to wait too long for your food, and I've never had a bad experience with them. I would highly recommend trying Wok Express if you like your Chinese food.

  • David Glover

Ordered from Wok Express using Just Eat. Was given a delivery estimate of 1 hour and 30 minutes. 2 hours later I call Wok Express to ask for a delivery update to then be told “he’s on his way”. I call again sometime after this to then be told they had lost the order with the driver. Sounds to me like they just forgot. Terrible service.

  • Nicole M

Wish I read more of the reviews this was the worst Chinese I’ve ever eaten. The satay sauce was way to sweet. The vegetable spring rolls were burnt, they barely had any filling and were cold. The chow mein was barely seasoned and didn’t taste good. If I could give zero stars I would. A waste of money. Do not buy from here.

  • natasha roulston

Waste of money odered salt and chilli chicken wings wasnt impressed as they were over cooked, lacked seasioning. I also ordered chicken curry this was very oily, lacked spices so very bland, the egg fried rice was lumpy. Sheshwan1 chicken was not very tasty again oily and the noodles where bland and dry. THE WORST CHINESE

  • Charlie Flude

Don't order from here they are a complete rip off absolutely disgusting service take your money off you and don't deliver your order and try to make out it weren't on the system also lied to me over the phone about where my order was and then turned round and said they didn't get the order even though it went through

  • Kelvin Flint

Food arrived but took that long to arrive thought it may be coming from China The food itself was pretty good so maybe the wait was not in vain If they could improve on delivery time then they would be worthy of a 4 star rating

  • Ellie Watts

Had the chicken chop suey, chicken balls and chips. Very good service and lovely food. There wasn’t any chicken in the chop suey, so I won’t be having this again. But I will be returning to try different dishes. Thank you!

  • Susannah Michelle Leggatt

Always fast friendly service. Nothing ever tastes the same twice...that's a good thing, my chicken curry is never boring but always tasty. If it's your first visit, go on a Monday night they do a good Monday deal.

  • Rachel Gresty

Cash only Chinese place-there's an ATM a 3 minute walk away. Very nice food and the Monday deal is fantastic value for money. Friendly staff who are alert about allergy free food and fast cooking times

  • Maria Vieira

The delivery service is poor. Please do not order if need be go to shop to order. We spoke to the shop guy and he was very rude and even started shouting. Please consider this when ordering from them.

  • Tony Cole

I went with a friend to a local Chinese takeaway i had a chicken fried rice which was awesome and one of the best Chinese takeaways I've been to.

Poor service made us walk to find the delivery driver to pick up food. Have never received the free items when placing a larger order even though this was left in the comment. (False advertisement )

  • Hello There

4 years on throught I'd try them again and they failed again chips undercooked same problem 4 years ago. Waste of money and disgusting food, pay 20 pound to throw it away ! Never again

  • Chris Ed

First time trying wok express, as we are stopping at the royal hospital, fantastic food and a very nice owner chatting with us. Will definitely use again. Highly recommended.

  • Ryan Mueller

Took over 15 mins to place a order due to the woman on the phone not listening probably. When the food arrived it was completely the wrong order and would not sort it

  • Marian Opebiyi

The food was a complete disaster!!! Who serves egg fried rice wet?! Called the place with no resolve. Poor service, poor food. The worst experience ever. Never again!

  • Deji Oluwadairo

I haven’t actually eaten here. I’m just rating the lack of pictures of food and the fact that the pictures that are actually provided look completely unappetizing.

  • anna cawthorn

  • A.R.K

My local Chinese, nice staff and good food, chicken balls are made from something actually recognisable as a chicken fillet which is always a good sign.
