    The food is amazing and staff are very attentive with a wide variety of food options. Very clean and has a full bar

    Egg Rolls
    Annette D.

    Delicious fresh Chinese food. Egg rolls, chicken fried rice, Mongolian beef and Orange chicken were all great choices. The food was hot, fresh and portions were large. Service was very good and restaurant is cozy.

    I will admit that I am a frequent user of Yelp, but rarely a reviewer. Today I was moved to put the time and effort into a review due the travesty that was our delivery order from Little Wok. We live in Evanston and have a plethora of wonderful Asian restaurants to choose from. Today we decided to take a break from our usuals and try this place. What should have given me caution right away was the vastness of their menu. They have Chinese dishes, Thai, and many traditional Japanese dishes, in addition to a full sushi menu. That's a lot to take on. I decided to try a bit from all three styles. Here is the rundown: 1. Shrimp Tempura - the shrimp was overly fried and at the same time, greasy. The zucchini it came with was as hard as a hockey puck. I could hit it on my table and hear it reverberate. 2. Teriyaki Chicken Baked Rice - this had ZERO teriyaki taste. Teriyaki has some sweetness, but this has absolutely none. It did taste vaguely of a garlic sauce. The chicken was dry. Very disappointing. 3. Tom Kha soup - right away I knew we were in trouble, as the color was blindingly white. It was pure coconut milk that was drowned in spice from those little red Thai peppers. 9/10 on spice. Inedible. 4. Potstickers. These were mostly sticky dough with a little meat inside. 5. Szechuan Wontons - these were absolutely saturated with Szechuan peppercorns, to where one bite annihilated your mouth with numbing spice. Very off-putting and incredibly dry at the same time. 6. Salmon Nigiri. We ordered a couple of pieces of salmon for my daughter. It looked almost gray. Decided not to risk tasting it after everything else. We called the restaurant after receiving our order to detail these issues. The person who answered said the manager was not in and that it's "all a matter of taste". And that he had never received any complaints about these dishes. I am providing some pictures of what we received. We will never patronize Little Wok again. Look

    I haven't been here in a long time and decided to go today. I also ordered the Tom Yum seafood soup that was extremely spicy and I asked for less spicy and that didn't happen. I also ordered the Tofu pad see ew and found a small sharp bone in it. Wow! Reason to cook at home. You all need to do better if you expect people to still patronize your business. I'm done and over them. Service is not what it used to be. Go elsewhere.

    Sesame chicken
    Stephanie L.

    Little Wok is a little gem... My food is always fresh whether I eat in or order delivery. My go to is always the sesame chicken with combination fried rice! Delicious every single time! Their egg rolls are pretty good as well, not to greasy. I am a creature of habit and I tend to only stick to what I like, but they have an extensive menu so I plan on being adventurous and trying new things off the menu. Also pictured is the basil chicken which my friend had.

    I'm obsessed with this place. Every time I get something it becomes my new favorite. They're super low priced for the large portions and delicious food. Also, every time I've gotten delivery, they arrive way before the scheduled time!

    This place is incredibly cute if you're looking for a nice ambiance. It was my first time trying it…read moreout and I loved the small attention to details. There was a live saxophone player and I loved the live flowers they had. Our waiter was extremely nice and took the time to explain the menu as well as their customer favorites. I order a Thai iced tea which wasn't bad but I prefer mine a little thicker and sweeter. It came in a thin tall glass which in theory was not a lot of drink. To start we order the chicken appetizer and fried beef on rice to share and unfortunately I did not snap a pic but these were listed under apps or shareables but the portions were extremely small. As our mains came I noticed that they were also small and each were around $20-$30 per plate. Not a bad thing if you don't eat much but I'm a big bang for buck type of gal. My family came to share and this place is a more fine dining thai restaurant which could explain the smaller portions. We ordered the pad Thai which was alright in my opinion I expected a little more flavor, the aubergine which was tossed vegetables as recommended by our waiter which was also ok not much flavor but beautiful plating though, and the coconut curry which was by far my favorite. If I were to come back here I would order that again, it was a nice light yet complex flavor profile which made me savor every bite. Overall good place for an upbeat fancier meal and I highly recommend the coconut curry braised chicken if you visit. Little pricey but that's just my opinion let me know what you guys think if you visit! Oh and they also give your receipt in a boat which they spin and leave a thank you card once you paid which was really cute.

The shallot rice with vegetables had no vegetables at all and tasted as if it was premade and warmed up again in the microwave. The shallot rice with beef was the same and contained tiny bits of burned beef. The sushi was not fresh and the crispy spring rolls were akin to dog treat sticks. The food is expensive and some of the worse food I've ever had. While I appreciate the business owners detailed response, there are contradictions. When ordering the shallot fried rice from the restaurants website on July 2, vegetables were included as an option. Today vegetables have been replaced with herbs. Nevertheless we chose the available vegetable option therefore vegetables were requested. The restaurant received our vegetables request as indicated on the pictured receipt and packaging. We received herbs and rice but no vegetables. We did not order through a third party delivery service. We placed the order through the restaurant website and I arrived early to pick up the food. I hope that the owner is able to receive my feedback constructively and take accountability for the issues my family encountered with the restaurant.

The first time I visited I didn't realize they close at 8:30 pm so I arrived at 8ish and the server/owner snapped at me that they will be closing their doors by 8:30 pm so I hurriedly ordered a delicious chicken satay appetizer with peanut sauce presented beautifully in a tiny goblet and a crispy curry puff which was extremely good too. I loved the thai iced tea even though it was served in a small glass with lots of ice. The reason I am leaving a two is because the owner made me feel like I was not welcomed and an inconvenience because I arrived half an hour before closing. It was hard for me to savor the food based on the fact that the owner who is also a server to cut costs made it clear she needed me to leave when they start the closing process so I rushed through my first ever dining experience there. Today was my second and admittedly will be my last. The owner gave me the same icy indifferent attitude as if I wasn't genuinely welcomed. The first time I dined there I had a feeling she was the owner so I didn't tip and this time the owner lied to me when I mentioned I knew she was the owner when she practically DEMANDED a tip after my disappointing dining experience. She said she works there as s server and doesn't have a clue who the owner was completely lying to me so I would be quilted into leaving her a tip. First of all I arrived here at 1:30 and she coldly stated they close at 2pm no exception. There was no separate lunch menu and she let me decide what I wanted and didn't even take my order till 1:40pm I chose the crazy noodles with beef and you either get a tiny portion of cucumber salad or an egg roll appetizer. When my food arrived there were no chopsticks just forks and the plate was very decorative but the portions were extremely small. The egg rolls were good but each eaggroll was the size of your pinky finger and you get 3 tiny pieces. I ate quickly and when I got up to pay she asked me how id like to tip. I knew she was the owner so I felt it was HIGHLY inappropriate to hustle a guest for tips especially if you own your own restaurant and you're serving to cut costs by not hiring a server to work for you. Again I thought it was a tacky move on her part to insist on a tip and then lie to me and say she doesn't know who the owner is in real life. I don't like the owner's lack of business ethics so I will not be returning here especially because the lunch deal is extremely overpriced and doesn't include a side of salad or rice or beverage. She never once smiled at me nor made me feel like a welcomed guest so I don't feel like returning to support a business that treats their customers with such disdain and genuine unkindness. Also let me Reiterate even if the food is good my meal was soured by the negativity from the owner who works here as a server too to cut costs. My meal was $18 ish dollars not much of a deal when you realize the plate portions are small and the appetizer is miniscule too. What spoiled it for me was her lack of kindness and no chopsticks. Just not the vibes I'm seeking. I don't like the fact that the owner lied to me about not being the owner so very sketchy!

Our group had six people in it and for it's size, overall I felt the table service was minimal and very hands off. In fact, several times, a member of our party had to get up for a few things. An empty bottle of sake slipped off the table onto the floor, thankfully did not break, and no one even came to see what the noise was about. Having said that, the interactions with staff that I did have were friendly and helpful. When the check came, it of course had an automatic twenty percent tip included, so I guess the staff figures they are covered either way. The food overall is good, it's more the cost of everything is just so high these days it is a turn off. I am not sure you really feel the value return for the money you spend these days in a restaurant. I feel you get more bang for your buck cooking at home these days. So as I said previously, I would try to take advantage of some of the happy hour deals.
