Welcome to Wok Express, a delightful Chinese restaurant nestled in the heart of La Puente, California. If you're on the hunt for a place that serves comforting Chinese flavors with generous portions, look no further than this local gem at 15330 Amar Rd.

As you step inside Wok Express, you're greeted with a casual yet bustling atmosphere that reflects the hustle and bustle of the community. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a hearty meal, whether alone or with friends, under the warm glow of familiar decor. The air is filled with enticing aromas, promising an authentic experience that resonates with both tradition and comfort.

The menu at Wok Express is a treasure trove for fans of Chinese cuisine. From the perfectly stir-fried chow mein to the velvety orange chicken, every dish is crafted with care and it shows. You must try their Combination Fried Rice, a delightful medley that packs a flavorful punch, or indulge in the fan-favorite Jalapeño Shrimp—both dishes lauded for their robust flavors and satisfying portions. Not to be overlooked, the iconic Fried Shrimp is often described as "the best," drawing raves from visitors who live out of state but make a point to stop by whenever they're in town.

While the culinary offerings are impressive, it’s important to note that Wok Express operates on a cash-only basis, a detail that has caught a few patrons off guard. Nevertheless, many customers, like Anthony Sainz, appreciate the reasonable prices and aren't deterred by the cash requirement, particularly given the size and quality of the meals. Patrons rave about large portions that make satisfying meals; it’s not uncommon to take home leftovers. Even those who’ve encountered service quirks had their taste buds delighted, though some noted that service could vary in demeanor.

Despite a few minor drawbacks—like the note of black mold on ice in one review—many were quick to emphasize the overall good quality of the food. Their savory options like Shrimp or BBQ Pork Chop Suey, Broccoli Beef, and Kung Pao Beef showcase the kitchens' dedication to delivering robust flavors that resonate with locals and visitors alike.

In conclusion, Wok Express is more than just a dining spot; it represents a community culture where tasty, no-frills Chinese cuisine meets a bustling local charm. If you find yourself in La Puente, make sure to visit, bring cash, and prepare to indulge in some of the choicest Chinese dishes around. Your taste buds will surely thank you!

I'm on way there right now. My only bad experience there was my first visit because I didn't know that they accept cash only so I wasn't able to buy anything that night.

Very good food, good quality and reasonably priced with large portions. They serve large portions and all the food is good. Reasonably priced but it’s cash only. Orange chicken is really good, mushroom chicken, jalapeño chicken, pepper and steak, Chicken teriyaki are all great but the jalapeño shrimp and chow mein is phenomenal. I come here at least once a month.

They give large portions of food and the prices are good. The catch is that they're cash only but I'm OK with that if I'm going to save some money as well. I'm willing to deal with that inconvenience. The food itself is OK. I saw another review here that said that they got fl
