The tables are so close to other tables that I felt as if I was sitting with the stranger next to me, who was slurping soup from a bowl. Everything I ordered was so overly sweet and flavorless. It was in the hot months and the front window area is like being in a green house.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! If you’re sick or just having a bad day, there is genuinely no better pick-me-up in chapel hill. I’ve ordered from here 3 times so far & they’ve never disappointed. My favorite is the pork belly noodle soup, but I’ve also gotten the braised beef noodle soup as well as the beef broth with celery & scallion (excellent for a sore throat!). The braised beef noodle soup was a bit too spicy for me, but our server never stopped filling up my water so it wasn’t a problem lol. I’d recommend the pork belly noodle soup as a safe first choice if you’ve never been here ^^ it’s soo flavorful & always makes me feel better. It’s not spicy at all & has plenty of pork.
The restaurant itself is a little cramped & the seats are a bit uncomfortable, but service is quick. I’ve never waited longer than a minute to be seated or be brought my order after i came in :)

My wife and I came to town to go to a UNC game and came to Franklin St. early to shop and eat. We chose Wheat Express and it was so good! Our waitress was friendly and when we realized we did not plan our timing right, and asked if we could take it to go instead since we were going to the game, the staff quickly got our meal boxed up and ready to go! It’s on my recommendations and a place we’ll come back to!

I used to get friendly and organized service from the female staff, but today the male server seemed stiff and confused. He didn’t check who the dishes were for, and the tables and chairs were dirty. The whole experience wasn’t as good as before.
I came here to take a colleague out for a work lunch. Food was good, service was decent, and atmosphere was OK. What was not acceptable was that the wait staff said that they would not run my UNC card as tax exempt. They told me that they were unable to do it when they simply didn't know how. I ended up having to pay out of my pocket for an official work expense. Beware.

I ordered takeout from Wheat Express. The stinky tofu was crispy and flavorful, really delicious with its sauce. The chicken with Szechuan chili oil was served cold — a bit surprising at first, but tasty, slightly spicy, and rich in flavor. The braised beef noodle soup had a great broth, though the beef was a bit dry and tougher than I expected. Overall, I enjoyed everything and would come back to try more dishes next time!

The beef noodle soup has gotten way too spicy with the new recipe. Way too much chili pepper. The old one was so much better. Wish you would bring it back.
