    Delivery (top to bottom): Mapo Tofu over Rice, fried gyoza, egg roll, orange chicken.
    Jeremy B.

    Delivery review: super easy online ordering system, quick delivery (quoted 50 mins, arrived in 30) and super tasty dishes! The menu itself is huge, and portions and prices are on point. Everything was packed nicely and arrived 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
    Dan D.

    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
    Hannah H.

    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
    Tracy L.

    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!

    I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Miru…read more We were visiting Chicago for a short trip, and with so many excellent dining options, choosing where to eat wasn't easy. I almost decided to save Miru for our next visit, but I'm glad I made time for breakfast here on our departure day. Located inside the St. Regis Chicago, the restaurant offers beautiful views. The service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional. I ordered the Tokyo Breakfast. The salmon was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with rice, a soft-poached egg, and salmon roe. The miso soup was slightly salty on its own, but it worked surprisingly well when enjoyed with the rice toward the end of the meal. Overall, a memorable breakfast experience. I'd love to return and try the lunch or dinner menu on my next trip to Chicago.

    It's all about the views!…read more Miru is one of the newer sushi restaurants relatively uncompetitive sushi scene in Chicago, and it hits the spots for those interested in classy ambience and jaw dropping views. The sushi is phenomenal, as were our drinks... but the other entrees are disappointing. The karaage and duck yakisoba in particular in quality could be from any corner restaurant in Chicago. The service lends itself more casual, and I noticed they were consistently quite slow to clear our table. I don't think people come here for the food as much as the views. Overlooking Streeterville from this angle and vantage was truly jaw dropping and for this reason I still strongly recommend Miru.

Overall, the fish was fresh and…read morewell-prepared--nothing particularly mind-blowing, but definitely good quality, especially for a more affordable omakase option. 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.

    I live in LA and have eaten at 20+ omakase restaurants, so I was curious what Chicago's scene had…read moreto offer. Omakase Shoji more than answered that question. The restaurant houses both an omakase counter and an izakaya, but in completely separate spaces. The omakase side is an intimate, beautifully designed counter with around 10 seats. We were the only guests that evening, so the whole experience felt wonderfully private -- just us, Chef Shoji, and the fish. Chef Shoji opens the meal by presenting the actual fish you'll be eating, all flown in twice a week from Japan or Spain. It immediately signals what kind of meal you're in for. The 20 courses were well-paced and the quality was consistent throughout. Nigiri and sashimi were pristine, but the hot dishes were equally impressive, which surprised me. Both sides of the menu showed real craft and attention to detail. Service was fantastic -- warm, attentive, and never stuffy. At $210 per person, it's a special occasion meal, but one that genuinely delivers on the price. As someone who eats a lot of omakase back home in LA, I wasn't sure what to expect. I left genuinely impressed. Highly recommend if you're looking for a serious sushi experience in Chicago!!!

This place, along with the entrance is a bit hidden, so would love to see them market themselves more as I think it's a spot people would really love, especially for more affordable sushi in the River North area. Quiet and cozy ambiance for casual outings but also cute enough to be a date spot. Got seated immediately. Service was a bit slow, but that's only because they seemed to have one host/server working at the time, who was working super hard and kept a super pleasant and attentive vibe. I will definitely be back!
