WuKong Express

Charming restaurant, friendly people, and the food was AMAZING! Very fresh produce and a great value. Highly recommended!

There is so much potential for one of the best tasting ramen places in columbus. Great noodles exceptional broth and seasonings. The only thing keeping wukong express from being the best ramen in columus is the quality of meat and veggies. Takoyaki - 2/5 Frozen in the center. The flavor was good. Very savory. Nice creamy filling. Noticed a lack of a dipping sauce compared to other restaurants. I imagine cooked throughly. This may have been a 4/5 Wukong Noodles 5/5 noodles are amazing. I love they have a little bite to them, unlike many lower quality ramen places with overcooked noodles. Wukong Broth 5/5-the broth is powerful. Flavorful and the right balance of spice. This doesn't have the watered-down taste common with ramen shops. Marinated egg 4/5 - Lots of flavor and perfectly cooked. Though could use a longer marinate to be perfect. Meat. 1.5/ 5 -Lots of flavor. Not much quality. All the meat tasted over cooked and a little dry as well as the pork was chewy and dry. Veggies 2.5/5 veggies didn't taste bad. But they had a lack of crunch you expect from fresh bean sprouts. (This may be a seasonal issue.) Overall, this is some of the best flavors you'll get at a ramen shop. That being said, with some improvements to the quality of meet and veggies. this may become the #1 place in central ohio for ramen.

The restaurant is lacking ambiance and although the customer service wasn’t terrible, it definitely wasn’t anything special. Now, about the food … that was the worst part. I was interested in the variety of appetizers, especially the crab Rangoon. As I know this is generally a pre-made, frozen food - I was happy to see that it was described as “homemade” on the menu. Before ordering, I asked the server if it was actually homemade. She said yes. It was no surprise, when it came out, and was most definitely NOT homemade. In fact it was the worst crab Rangoon I’ve ever had because it was extremely sweet! It seemed like the sweetness profile could have been a dessert and it was oily, almost like it had a portion of mayo in the mix. The other appetizer that I ordered was the marinated tofu steam bun. It was equally bad because the tofu had no flavor except oil. It was clear that the slice of tofu had been tossed into the deep fryer and cooked to a crisp, yet it had no flavor. As a side note, there was no real silverware or dishes, they brought out paper plates and plastic ware to eat with. Maybe it’s part of the traditional Korean experience, but it seemed really cheap not to mention that it creates a ton of waste. The server also brought out the food in paperboats by hand, (not on a tray) but was not wearing any gloves. Definitely a turn off when you can see that their finger tips are wrapped around the food containers, and practically touching the food you are about to eat. Makes you wonder what’s going on in the kitchen too. Maybe their appetizers are an afterthought and I just picked the wrong items, but I won’t be coming back for a second try. Hopefully they can work on improvements.

Litterally the seafood ramen was so gross I couldn't bring myself to eat it after tasting it. Also the oyster shell was still "hairy"! Very poor quality of seafood. The noodles were instant ramen. The vegetables were just raw, maybe had 50 cents worth of veggies, a quarter cup of uncooked cabbage and beansprouts would be considered a generous description. Priced at 15 dollars for what? If I see a meal and the price is 15 I expect it to be at least a good flavor. This was such a scam. It was so bad. At least it was a pleasant amount of spicey. But the garbage taste of it made that pointless.

Yummy, very fresh food that's incredibly flavorful! My husband and I wanted to try this new restaurant in Westerville and we're really happy we did! I love seafood and their shrimp and crab is so fresh and delicious. I ordered the Takouaki appetizer and the Cali poke bowl both were delicious! My husband also got an the Crab Rangoon and the Tan Tan Ramen bowl and was very happy with the flavor and freshness. The ramen comes in a really cool two part bowl. The bottom bowl holds the broth and the top bowl rests on the bottom bowl. The top bowl holds the food. We'd never seen anything like this and were really impressed. Because it comes that way you can add as much broth as you want. It smelled amazing and my husband was really happy with it! We enjoyed Wukong Express so much we went back. Once again, the food was delicious. I ordered a ramen that had seafood. I was grateful that they made the broth not spicy. The broth was delicious. This time my husband got me bubble tea and to be honest, it was the absolute WORST bubble tea I've ever had. So I can't recommend their bubble tea! I gave it to my husband because for me, it was undrinkable. The prices are very competitive and reasonable, especially considering you're getting a healthy serving of fresh seafood. Highly Recommended! Dietary restrictions: Anything can be ordered not spicy which I really appreciate! Parking: Parking is close to restaurant

The food was way overcooked at two way too much breading on it. made the calamari very dry. I was able to eat it without the breading. The chicken thigh appetizer was little bite-sized pizzas that were way overcooked and over breaded.

Maaaan the fried chicken here is amazing, try the spring onion flavor.

Food and service are very good. Ramen is solid, and Korean fried chicken is great. And the kids LOVE boba tea.

Unfortunately did not get to try the food. Took my mom here, as we live down the street. Walked inside and sat at the bar. There were zero other customers. Sat for 12 minutes while not a single person acknowledged us but would look at us and continue talking in the kitchen. Absolutely rude and left customers very disappointed. Also their menu is confusing as it lists two very different prices for the same food item, on the same menu (the one above the register). In general seemed overpriced. Will not be returning.

This is a nice spot. The garlic chicken was very good and they have a lot of options.
