    Lunch deal was a delight! Large bowl of miso with loads of extras (tofu, green onion, seaweed) delicious. Got the ebi tempura roll, tuna, yellowtail and eel. Presented with seaweed salad, a favorite. Will be back. Clean and fresh.

    Salt & Pepper Shrimp
    Andrew P.

    Stopped by after the Halloween parade off Halsted. The restaurant was busy with takeaway orders and had a few tables that were starting to fill up from fellow parade observers. The staff were friendly and the decor was some notches up from your standard Chinese restaurant. Salt and Pepper shrimp. I usually get this in other restaurants as an appetizer with squid so I knew what to expect. The shrimp were fried well and were crunchy but not overly so. The dish had a nice subtle kick. It wasn't particularly spicy, but will warm you up on a cold evening. A nice light entree despite being fried. Would get it again.

    Fantastic sushi, sidewalk seating, reasonably priced. Fish quality is superb. Friendly staff. Done and done

    Spicy miso ramen with pork

    Ordered delivery. Very well packed. Most of the food is very good. The ramen and sushi are what you should be ordering here. Overall a solid option for anyone looking for Asian style foods

    Sesame chicken and shrimp fried rice
    Samir K.

    We were craving some American Chinese food and heard this was the place to go. Came in for dinner on Valentine's Day and there were plenty of tables. Started with the egg rolls, two large rolls. Good mix of shrimp, chicken, and veggies as well as a very noticeable hint of peanut butter which I enjoyed. Our two mains were shrimp fried rice and sesame chicken. The shrimp was good but the fried rice could have been a little more savory. The sesame chicken was super crispy and the exact flavor I look for. Good chicken to breading ratio with more than enough sauce. One thing to note, the food got cold pretty quickly imo which made the sesame chicken in particular not good. Lots of options ranging from Chinese to Japanese to Thai. Large portions at a good price, definitely worth the visit.

    Beef Stone Bowl

    This was such a nice restaurant to meet friends at! The menu was massive so it was hard to choose what to order. I was pleased with my beef stone bowl! Service was good!

    I finally tried this neighborhood spot and I'm so mad it took me so long!! The food is so delicious and generous portions! Servers were kind and funny, and the outdoor seating area is so nice for warm weather!

    Orange Chicken and Lucky Buddha, Asian-Style Lager Beer
    Angel A.

    I'm a regular at Ping Pong (down the block) but Little Wok has slowly and surely won my heart. I've only been here a couple times for take out but tonight I decided to poke in for a solo dinner and man was it spectacular! All around exceptional meal. First off, love the servers. They're just the best! Secondly, the presentation of the food is solid. Already off to a good start based on those factors alone but the food itself was top tier. Generally I have ordered sesame chicken -- tonight I went with the orange chicken and it has to be among the best in Chicago. I started my meal with some Sashimi Unagi (eel) and a Lucky Buddha. Great combo! I'll definitely make an effort to dine in here more often. I can't wait to come back and bring friends and family when they visit the neighborhood. Show them some love, Lakeview!

    Hot and Sour Soup

    Little Wok in Wicker Park is closer to home, but I accidentally ordered from this location instead. The recipes should be the same, no? Yes, but the Buddha's Delight had slightly more flavor from Wicker Park's location. The Szechwan Wontons were also lacking in flavor, as if they forgot to use salt. There wasn't much sauce to it either... Generous size though. The Hot and Sour Soup was as expected. Overall, I was content with the food, and prices were reasonable!

Candidly it wasn't on my to-do, but the restaurant happened to be on my route back to my hotel and I hadn't had dinner yet. I walked into the restaurant, and there was a spot open right at the bar waiting for me. I think it was meant to be. Loved the vibe of the restaurant, which was casual but trendy. Best part of all was the music. My ears perked up when I heard Hieroglyphics - The Who... A Plus Remix. Instantly felt "at home" with the underground, old school hip hop. Compliments to their curated Pandora playlist. I ordered the the spicy scallop roll, super san roll, and sawara (Spanish mackerel) nigiri. The spicy scallop roll was my favorite. The super san roll was a mix of their toro with varying fattiness. I appreciated that you could order half rolls at Sushi-San, which came out to 5 pieces instead of 10. This was more than enough food for me. The sawara was buttery and fresh. If you don't like the "fishiness" of saba, you'll enjoy sawara. Lastly, overall customer service was great. The food came out incredibly fast. The bartender who assisted me was awesome. He was attentive and personable.

I came with a friend for lunch during the week and they have a somewhat decent lunch special (for today's standards when factoring the cost of living and inflation). We took advantage of that and ordered the 3 combo platter per person so we got 6 total items since there was two of us. The highlights for us were three yellowtail yuzu sushi as well as the salmon rice bowl. The miso soup that came out first wasn't that great. It was overly salty. My friend who is from Japan that I ate with said this place was ok for American standards but not at all great compared to anything in Japan lol.

It clearly is for all their locations. Unfortunately, here at Chinatown's location, when they attempted to scan the card, the staff said it does not work and only works at the Printer's Row location. I ended up calling the Printer's Row location and had the team talk to the manager at the Chinatown location, and the manager at the Chinatown location kept their stance that it does not work, stating Printer's Row location does not know why the gift card does not work at the Chinatown location, and will not make any exceptions to accepting the gift card. Thankfully at the Printer's Row location, they are stating it's due to their system being new as they are a new location, and reason why the gift card is not working at all the locations yet which they are now working on to fix so it does not happen to any other customer moving forward. I just wish the Chinatown location showed some compassion to address the issue and still accommodate the inconvenience instead of us having to go back to the Printer's Row location to use the gift card Price: Approximately $20, not including tip for 2 people. There are lunch specials! Ambience: Indoor Seating Overall: Worst experience, especially to follow up my birthday celebration

My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi. It felt a bit slow, especially for a lunch service. That said, if you're looking for a reasonably priced omakase with quality fish, this is a solid choice.

Both were great. Our bartenders were lovely and very friendly. Found out this is a Malort tasting room and we were able to sample some different Malorts (the cocoa one was good!). Then we were taken back to our table for dinner. Our server was super friendly as well. Started with the miso soup and crispy tuna bites which were probably my favorite dishes. The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.
