    Take out area
    Sedrick M.

    The food here was good. Second time visiting and the bourbon chicken was good. It was not overly salting like many of others. The service was fitting for a traditional Chinese restaurant. They were quick with our take out so could not complain. The interior was nothing to write home about but will be back for a good take out Chinese.

    Pad Thai

    Chinese takeout is either hit or miss for me. I am either in love with my meal, or throw half of it away. J-Wok has become our go-to Asian takeout spot and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. Recently, we branched out from our usually sushi order and I go some Pad Thai to go along with it. It tasted fresh, wasn't greasy or overly sauced, and had just the right amount of toppings in it. I almost always add a little chili sauce to my Asian food, and once I did that it was perfect. I will definitely be ordering the Pad Thai again (probably in a few days...) As I mentioned, we usually get sushi when we order out from here. We kept it light this time with just a cali roll and a smoked salmon roll but both were fresh, well made, and held their shape through the "picking up, dipping, and inserting into mouth" motion that sushi requires. We've had a variety of rolls from here and are never disappointed. One of the guests we were with ordered Curry Fried Rice, dumplings (can't remember which ones), and Mongolian beef. All of which I sampled and were wonderful. I think the Curry Fried rice might become a staple for us when we do future ordering. J-Wok does Asian takeout right. Quick, fresh, and reasonably priced. See you there this weekend :)

    All the sushi!

    We ordered take out from here so my review reflects that! We ordered a bunch of sushi online because it was easy and the perfect excuse to not cook. The online ordering process was very simple to use and told us the wait time of 35 minutes for our order to be ready. Something unique about this place is that they have two menus. One is Chinese inspired and one is Japanese inspired. Both have various options but we wanted sushi so we focused on the Japanese menu. Each roll came with 8 pieces around the $14 range per roll. I had a couple of my girlfriends over and we ordered a bunch of different rolls to try. We got a few sexy mexican rolls, the spicy tuna, and tiffany's roll. We got extra spicy mayo and it was a solid move because the mayo was our favorite part. My sister has had the sexy mexican roll before and I'm so glad she suggested it. It had shrimp tempura, spicy crab, jalapeno, cilantro, and was topped with avocado. The fish was fresh and the jalapeno and cilantro were such a great surprise in the roll; I've never had anything like it! Again, pair this with the spicy mayo and the room will go silent. The sushi had great portions and was very filling. We got an order of edamame and it was still hot when we got it at home. My husband picked our order up for us because he is the sweetest pea in the world. I think our order was ready exactly on time because he picked up rather than us doing delivery. Overall, we were happy with everything and would order again!

    Awful food and service. Rude service, bland and sloppily prepared food. Just awful. Food was luke-warm for in-dining service.

A nice hot bowl of chicken noodle soup; butter noodles, savory and flavorful chicken broth with slivers of meat. Nice complimentary bowl of bread accompanied the soups. Individually wrapped and fresh+ More value. The tuna melt was perfect! Lightly butter and nicely toasted seeded rye bread. The fries I ordered well done; they were hot , fresh and crispy. I added a touch of salt. A nice thin sliced and tomato was on the side with pickles and lettuce. What a power packed lunch , and I only could finish half, so that's really a lunch for 2 $15! At a sit down restaurant, that's in a clean environment, in a great neighborhood. What value. Reminds me of the Pittsfield Cafe located in the lobby of the Pittsfield Building on Washington & Wabash Avenue downtown Chicago. Such a bustling a wonderful place at its peak time. Located across from MacNeal Hospital, Loyola Medical Cancer Center. Serving a great value to many visitors. Doing a great job here. Across from the Burlington Line, Metra Station. Easy stop. Oak Park Avenue , Berwyn. Many hair salons, nice bar next door: a small antiques shop west of here. Fantastic grocery store up the block just South of tracks. Nice YMCA facility just North with several Baptist Churches I noticed. Many beautiful parks, north and south down oak park avenue, just West

We tried several dishes, but our favorites were definitely the Chicken Satay and Massaman Curry. Both were packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. Great food, great drinks, and even better company. Habrae is definitely worth a visit!

    The service slow but sincere. No one was in a hurry. There were many Interesting sushi choices but…read moremany included too many unnecessary additional sauces and or spreads. I don't need spicy mayos or exotic spreads because those mask the fish. I always wonder why the main ingredients are not allowed to stand alone, without the sauces? I guess I am a purist. The sushi rolls were good, although the eel was much more flavorful. The salmon roll had many things in it which I cannot identify. The salmon was either a paste or tiny bits of leftover salmon pressed together. It felt like cheating. It was ok, a bit mushy and I would not order it again. The Shumai was disappointing because the pork (?) and shrimp combination was also a paste and mushy. No distinct shrimp or pork flavor or actual pieces of shrimp or pork. Again, it seemed like leftover bits from other prepped dishes. The flavor was nondescript and the dipping sauce didn't suit it. The spicy garlic shrimp spaghetti was a winner. Plenty of jumbo shrimp and one had a choice of heat level. The dish was pronounced excellent. Yay! We would go back but order differently. The staff was nice but the service was slow, especially because they were not crowded.

That was nice, I suppose, but there is no entrance in the back. We ended up parking just down the street and walking, unfortunately in the rain. Some of that is important for as long as the construction lasts. Our GPS issue has nothing to do with the restaurant. It's just a friendly FYI in case it's your first time. The place was cute, but kind of ordinary. I was surprised when trying to find the restroom there is another big room of tables behind the bar. Servers were attentive, but they mislead us just a bit. Our friend asked about the paella and was told it was, or maybe could be (?) a single serving. Well... no way. It was massive. I believe he enjoyed it, but didn't come close to finishing it. I'd say it's easily a two-person meal. We were also told pizzas were individual size. The pizza had eight slices and could easily serve two. Mark enjoyed it. He ordered the four cheese pizza, which included blue cheese. I took a bite and definitely tasted it and didn't care for it. I think the blue cheese might have been one reason Mark DID like it. I ordered an appetizer, PULPO A LA PLANCHA from the Hot Tapas menu. It was quite good. I also had the soup of the day, which was mushroom. It was delicious! I finished all my food and was perfectly satisfied and full.
