Wok Inn Express

I really need to update this review to 5 stars since they’ve become our go-​to delivery every 2 – 3 weeks. They are reliably very tasty, and they have the best spring rolls I’ve ever had! Very friendly people and quick delivery. Definitely give them a try!

Love this place. I have been coming here for many years. Delicious hot food every time.

Great food! Best chinese food in the city. My baby puppy even loves it. Can’t go wrong here, just choose at random off the menu and wait to be amazed! And by wait I mean don’t wait, because the staff here is extremely attentive and the kitchen is faster than heck! Great place, great fun, and also, interestingly enough, a wonderful addition to what is one of the oldest hotels (built in 1780) in the great state of Ohio! I have not stayed at the Wok Inn yet, however it’s certainly on my to do list the next time I am in the South Western Ohio region!
Loved the food, great prices, perfect atmosphere, jeez louise, now that’s 5 outta 5 if you ask me. Loved it, loved it, loved the Cincinnati Chili rolls, loved the spicy fried milks, loved the vegan szechuan chicken, loved the desert menu, loved the drink selection, loved the ornate pitcher of water we were greeted with, and I loved the mind boggling speed at which I was ordered and ate. A hidden gem of Cincinnati!
Take the ball team here, the whole dang ball team if you ask me!

Being in a hotel you at the mercy of the restaurant. I ordered Szechuan chicken and Won Ton soup. I needed an extra $ 1.00 to qualify for delivery. I asked them to add extra chicken.
Everything is tasty enough but if what the made me is «extra chicken» then then likely pass their Szechuan Veggie plate off as Szechuan Chicken.
Disappointed.

It’s not the best Chinese restaurant across the whole menu, but some things they do a great job on. Their Orange Chicken is great, and their General Tso’s Chicken is a little sweet, and I really like it. Good vegetable Egg Foo Yung, too. Oh, and the Teriyaki Beef is good. The lunch buffet isn’t memorable, but you can fill up for a reasonable price.

Had it a few times since I first reviewed. It was much better and the food was great and nice and hot when they delivered!

Best hot and sour soup and moo goo gai pan. I’ve eaten hot and sour soup at many Cincinnati restaurants and they’ve got the best. Really nice staff too.

Although I now live in Georgia, I grew up in Cincinnati Ohio and have been a customer of Wok Inn since I was 8. I’m now 34, a transplant in a new, bigger city and I still find time to visit Wok Inn when I go home. Chinese food in Atlanta isn’t bad but I yearn for Wok Inn’s fried rice (no yellow food coloring, no peas or carrots), their Pad Thai (cooked in oil and not drenched in red sauce) or their Pepper Steak (juicy bits of beef with tons of green peppers and onions). I’ve read some of the comments here and I find it humorous that Wok Inn’s food has been described as «Americanized Chinese food» as if it’s a bad thing. I thoroughly enjoy the rice, sweet and sour chicken and shrimp with lobster sauce. If I were looking for sticky rice, jelly fish or chicken feet, I’d find a Chinatown and buy it there. As far as Chinese takeout is concerned, Wok Inn is the best «Americanized Chinese food» in Cincinnati.

Too much oil! And over cooked.
Not very authentic. Will not be going back.

I enjoy the food from Wok Inn Express. The lunch buffet is very good. My brother loves their Sweet and Sour Soup! I haven’t eaten in the restaurant in a long time the last time I ate in there the food was very good and the portions are huge! The staff are all very nice people. They have a limited delivery area and I am glad that I am in that delivery section, the food is always hot and cooked just the way you ask. I always recommend them to my friends and co workers. Keep up the good work WOK INN EXPRESS!!!

Fast. Cheap. Edible.
Pretty much what you would expect. Really only come for Lunch where you can fully maximize the inexpensive nature of this restaurant.
They serve very generic Americanized Chinese food which you can get a-​la-​carte or buffet style. The cost is reflected in the lack of variety in their buffet and their lack of ambiance.
Not a bad place to go for lunch. Don’t waste your time if your looking for something that will blow you away.

I think I paid $ 8 for all you can eat lunch buffet, including tax and tip and that’s what will keep me coming back plate after plate. The food is hot, fresh, and yummy. The staff is courteous and helpful. The ambiance is what you would expect for a «one dollar sign.» I don’t see why you wouldn’t try it out at least once!
I was a little disappointed because my friend and I were the only people in the restaurant. This is always a deal-​breaker for me because it makes you wonder why others are opting out. However, you may see it as full access to the buffet, so I’ll chock it up to different strokes for different folks and give it an even three stars.

Wok Inn, haha, get it? Because it sounds kind of like ‘walk’, and a ‘wok’ is a traditional chinese cooking instrument. ahhhhhh. how clever.
I’m in a bit of a lunch restaurant desert where I work now, especially compared to when my office was downtown, so I’m looking for decent and quick places in driving distance to fill up at lunch. In that, the Wok Inn fits the bill.
The food is just ok, not spectacular but plenty appetizing. I found the egg drop to be too creamy. The egg rolls on the other hand were very good. The owner said that they make theirs by hand, which is above and beyond for places in their price range.
It is a family-​owned place. The owner was also the hostess and my server, and I really need to commend her. She is wonderfully kind and really wants to see you enjoy your time there. The place has always been dead when i’m there, which I hope isn’t generally indicative of how business is going.
Far from gourmet, but as a cheap place to dash in for a sit-​down lunch, it’s right as rain. Oh, and I dig the plucky Chinese string music humming in the background. Soothing pause to a hectic day.
