Of all the convenience stores in Austin, Wok ’N Express possesses perhaps the most prestigious inventory. While the aesthetic stays true to that of the typical c-store, this establishment is distinguished by its emphasis on East Asian snacks you won't find at your basic supermarket chain. At a notably affordable price, find treats like Japanese plum wine, matcha Kit Kats, and Thai tea – each accompanied by the more recognizable beverage and snack brands. Adding to its distinctiveness, the space has also served as a great and inexpensive Chinese takeout option since 2012.
