Little Wok near Evanston/Skokie is legit a hole in the wall. The food is incredibly tasty and amazing. Service is always super fast. They have the Chinese & Japanese menu. You can simply have egg drop soup & sesame chicken or Miso soup & California Roll. They also serve up boba along with the variety of flavors. My personal favorite is watermelon. Be on the lookout for their lunch specials which a bargain deal, definitely more for less. I would most definitely be coming back to Little Wok. read more

Little Wok - Chinese Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Love the food. Anyplace that uses Chinese broccoli is usually a winner. Very tasty with decent quality protein.

Mixed review. My son had their sushi and I had a few pieces. It was excellent and also a good value. Cucumber salad that came with it: not so much; it was bland and boring. read more

I wanted so hard to try something new and I'm mad I need to post this! The order was incorrect instead I got a veggie and chicken combo that was so spicy and sadly I couldn't try the Szechuan Chicken. I ordered The a sushi was soaked in sauce which is not an issue but the freshness and flavor makes me concerned. I'm looking forward to my shrimp fried rice in hopes this will redeem my experience. read more

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

This is our go to for Chinese. A favorite in our house; however, tonight we ordered our regular orange chicken and fried rice with veggie egg rolls. The chicken was very dry and overcooked, which is not typical. I called and explained the situation and that there was no way I could make it back over there this evening for a replacement. I requested a credit to our account for the chicken and was denied that option and told I could only pick it up tonight; which I again explained was not possible. I was also told from now on I should request that the chicken be fried soft which we have NEVER had to do and it is always perfect. I don't know if it was a bad night or what, but I was not pleased with this service tonight. read more

Amazing prices and great variety. Super tasty food. Great customer service and quick order completion.

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 read more

Best Asian food!! The miso soup actually had pieces of tofu and green!! The egg rolls were filled and super crispy. The Pad Thai was super delicious with peanuts inside not just on top and full of chicken and shrimp!! The sushi super fresh and delicious with the best eel sashimi and seaweed salad ever!! read more

Love the food and the ambiance... but, you NEED MUSIC! Jazz, anime, I don't care something soothing. This missing part keeps people from dining in your restaurant. read more

I admit, this used to be my favorite sushi place in 2016. I gave it 5 star review and kept it until today. Now it is basically average sushi (depending), with 5 diamond prices. on April 6th, I bought 6 salmon hand rolls at 42 dollars, and every single one of them had stale seaweed wrap on it, and even the salmon was iffy. I don't know why they switched the tasty rice paper wrap to seaweed in the first place, but this was just rubbery trash. When I bought six of those, a mongolian delight, and a hot and sour soup, After tax, delivery and tip, it was nearly $100. 100 dollars for disgusting food loaded with so many chemical (e.g. MSG) my mom had an allergic reaction like never before where her air pipes were shutting and she was freaking out. We luckily didn't need to hospitalize her because it went away after a few minutes and she had to throw away the food, that was definitely two occasions that won't be forgotten. We also tend to get swelling when we eat here, which is a common trait for fast food. I can still say, that maybe for other maki rolls, and sushi and sashimi, this can still pass as your average sushi joint, there is no way I will ever order from here again. It is way too risky, too unhealthy, and way too expensive for average or stale food. If you don't believe me, look at the trend of opinions on Yelp and how they have changed over time. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Little Wok - Sesame chicken - Chinese Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

13 bucks for chicken fried rice. It tasted very bland and barely any chicken. Good. Not great at all. Step above panda.

I've never written a review before, but I feel I need to do it as a service to others. Nowhere on their online menu does it list the ingredients of their eggrolls. Be advised there is also no warning except this on their website- Consumer Advisory: Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.- Their egg rolls contain PEANUT BUTTER. My son had a severe allergic reaction from ingesting several bites. Fortunately, we recognized what was happening and were able to handle the situation. But I had to google the restaurant and other reviews to figure out that there was peanut butter in them. When I called to complain that there was no listing of peanut butter for the egg rolls and inquire why would you even put peanut butter in an eggroll the response was, "Well, that's your fault that you didn't tell us about an allergy." There was no apology. I told them that I was only calling to inform them of what had happened and that they should note it before something terrible happened. They were not helpful in the least. There are no other peanuts on the menu, which is why we ordered from there in the first place but NEVER AGAIN. read more

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! read more

We got takeout from here for lunch last week and it was great! They had lunch specials that are around 8 dollars and include an entree, chicken fried rice, and an egg roll. And it was great to see that they had taken a lot of precautions for safety, they put plexiglass up in front of the cashier and encouraged social distancing. I will definitely go there again when I need a break from my usual work from home lunch, pb and j . read more

This place still gives me a headache. The food is so good that I don't want to give it up (specifically the Thai fried rice with tofu and the tiramisu cake), but the service is so mediocre. (That horseradish, or whatever the bland green stuff is, is NOT wasabi and not spicy. Skip their sweet potato maki rolls altogether. Pride Sushi & Thai have better maki rolls. But their rice is undefeated.) Still, when you have sit-down service, they always look like they can take you or leave you, and the bartender doesn't know how to make basic drinks. I asked for a whiskey sour (a very simple drink to make). She refused and insisted I pick something from the menu instead of actually looking up how to make it. I've only been in here to sit down a handful of times. They hand you the water to pour yourself, which I actually like, and then just stand around occasionally staring at you or dozing off until you leave. Choose delivery. It'll disappoint you less. read more

I used to love this place but the prices are too high for very little actual food. They give you a ton of rice with a tiny bit of meat on it. Too expensive now. read more

Good food- huge selection of Chinese AND Japanese food (sushi/sashimi). We went with Chinese options tonight but will definitely be back. First we started with the veggie egg rolls before our entree of Szechwan eggplant and shrimp with scrambled egg. Both entrees were delicious and the portions for each were huge. We took home our leftovers to enjoy tomorrow. Restaurant itself isn't too big but it's modern looking and well lit. Not kitschy at all. Our server, Tom, was super nice and just the right amount of attentive. read more

The Little Wok in Chicago off of Belmont is light years better than this spot...Let's just get that out the way first. This place is serviceable if you live in Evanston area and you want something slightly better than say Panda Express or Chinese food from the frozen section of a random grocery store...This place gets the 2 stars for thier sushi which they have a big selection of and it's done nicely. As for the Chinese,Korean,Japanese,Thai foods none of this come out right...It would be nice if this place could stick to a certain part of Asia and make great food instead of spreading themselves thin and not getting anything right. Come here for Sushi only...Nuff said read more

The Chinese cuisine and sushi rolls are excellent. I recommend the Tomato Pepper Beef, Spicy Tuna Roll, Dragon on Fire Roll and the Dynamite appetizer. Thai and Korean dishes here are far from authentic. Creme Brûlée lacked the caramelized sugary crunch on top and was a little icy inside, but the custard was delicious. read more

This is the first and LAST time I'd order from this restaurant. It was a delivery. The food was terrible! I literally threw out the egg rolls. They tasted like sawdust. The Mongolian beef and Kung Pao were tasteless. I also ordered Hot and Sour soup. The broth was decent, but where are the other ingredients? read more

After reading some of these terrible reviews, I am now not surprised at today's treatment. I ordered a small rice for pick up because I just needed some rice to go with a meal. I went in to get it and they were incredibly rude. I asked what the problem was and received no answer, nothing, I asked again if I had offended somebody, and the two snotty girls just refused to answer. One went and got my bag, she handed it to me without so much as a get lost. I was absolutely dumbfounded to the point where I was at a loss as to what just happened. I have NEVER in my life been treated so poorly in a place of business. I will not return and I advise all to follow suit. ENG Chinese food on Western near Touhy is as good as it gets and I will go out of my way even if it's just for rice. TERRIBLE .... HORRIBLE ...... THE WORST read more

We got the food delivered so I can't speak to the service or ambience of the restaurant. I can speak on the large portions! The pad Thai was a bit spicer than I prefer but it was otherwise tasty. The chicken fried rice was delicious but could've had more chicken. I do wish they had meals (i.e. and orange chicken and fried rice meal). read more

Worst Chinese food I ever had, old rice and egg rolls, tasteless food. the only good thing was their service.

Order the lunch special, Mongolian Vegetables comes with an egg roll and chicken fried rice. Overall it was a fast delivery, food was warm, but it lack in flavor. The egg roll was veggie, and they also offer one with chicken and shrimp if you would like to try it. Portion is normal, food was a bit greasy for my taste. read more

Little Wok - Mongolian Vegetables and chicken fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Experience: my friends and I have been here since its inception. What has changed are the menu options, menu prices (slight increase but nothing major) as well as the ambiance (in a good way). Food: They have a really diverse menu with different "Asian" food options from a Korean stone bowl to sushi to standard Chinese plates like orange chicken and beef broccoli. -The sushi is a really good value and the most amazing part is if the sushi chef is in- he usually makes the dishes a work of art! I've seen sushi shaped like trees, peacocks, and even sushi with hearts and roses! -Their salads are yummy! They have avocado salads and different types of seaweed and cucumber salads that are served on cute glass plates. -They have really tasty "bubble shakes"- what makes it fun is that they come in huge neon green goblets! (the tapioca is kind of chewy but not that great- I do recommend the coconut!) Ambiance: The music is cheesy (it's a looped cd over and over with alternative and soft rock mixes) and the wall art is as well. There are four booths that are kind of tight in space but they also have tables with chairs for more room. -The bathrooms are really clean but the sink is kind of too close to the faucet. The sink is a round glass bowl and is really pretty. Service: There is this one waitress who is really thin (and only works there two days a week) who is AMAZING. She has been there the longest and knows her stuff! She is polite, quick, and really nice. -The other waiters and waitresses are okay. Some are better than others (there was this really nice super skinny guy once) but none as good as the skinny waitress (who is there on Tuesdays I think). All in all, a decent local sushi place. It is the place to go to satiate my craving for Asian food- without outrageous prices (like other local establishments). Plus I can come in wearing gym clothes and not feel dressed down! read more

Damn good Chinese food delivered to you We have ordered from here 4 times now and will keep on ordering the food is good and very satisfying read more

Great great great place!! I was surprised by the quality of sushi and sashimi. I ordered a Mongolian beef and a sashwan(sp) wide noodles. My only complaint is that the beef dishes did say it would be spicy... and there was no spice. I will ask for chili sauce next time. read more

Being Chinese, I've never been a fan of "Pan Asian" restaurants. This place, however, exceeds my expectations. I visited the restaurant twice for lunch and ordered for delivery a few times, food is consistently delicious and prepared to perfection. Their wait staff and delivery personnel are always friendly. To those with critical reviews, they cater to your taste. If you don't like your food too salty or spicy, advise when ordering. They're more than happy to accommodate. read more

Don't do delivery from here. And before you leave with your carry-out, make sure you inspect your food. We used to think highly of Little Wok - Evanston. Not anymore. For the first time in months, we ordered carry-out. My wife picked it well within the quoted 15 minutes and returned home within 10 minutes. The food was cold and each serving had to be reheated in the microwave. Worse, for the first time, in several years of patronizing them, part of the order was awful. The Pot Stickers were so doughy that we couldn't eat them. Raw cookie dough would have been more palatable. Worse, the egg rolls, which we have enjoyed many times before, shared the same problem: the skin was so thick, it made me think of the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on white bread of my youth. Mushy. Very mushy. I emailed Little Wok and received no response, which I accept as their way of telling me to buzz off. In my opinion, the least they could have done was offer an apology and a credit for the $10.50 (plus tax) we paid for essentially inedible food. We'll probably patronize Little Wok again. Until this experience, the food was uniformly good when you dined in. However, I would never again order carry-out without thoroughly examining the food. Delivery is a non-starter. With dine-in, you can send things back to the kitchen. We will, though, be looking for a replacement. read more

Okay, So I used to actually love this restaurant and hadn't been in a while. I just happened to be in the area on my way home and decided to order the lunch platter (chicken garlic sauce) which I thought was like the sweet garlic pepper sauce that I'm used to. YUK would be an understatement! It was like a salt bath!!! Wasted my money cos I definitely couldn't eat that! And I would like to also add that the person at the register was extremely rude. Not sure where all this rudeness and attitude is coming from these days but I will never go back there again for the food or the attitude! I'd rather go to Siam Pasta on Western for their Garlic Pepper chicken or at this point I will drive all the way downtown to my favorite Thai restaurant Amarit!! read more

I ordered from Little Wok earlier today and was extremely concerned about sanitation. When I picked up my order, the older woman working the front register had a visibly red nose. Her nose was running. She sneezed and coughed without covering her mouth. The woman did not have a mask on. I spent a great deal on my family's meal and now I don't think it's safe to eat. I never saw her wash her hands after sneezing and coughing. I don't know if she packaged the food or cooked it. I truly hope not. She did not ring up my order. I won't be returning. Their food is usually delicious, but I have to find another restaurant where all employees take hygiene seriously, read more

I am always on the lookout for new sushi restaurants. I'm so glad I found one not too far from my house. Little Wok was a big surprise! It's on the smaller side of restaurants, however there is some spaces for larger groups. There's a nice interior decorating and their bar looks really cool. I have to say that the quality of sushi really impressed me. The quality of sashimi melted in my mouth and was full of flavor. They serve the white kind of ginger which I have always found to be a higher quality than the pink. That was my first time sign that this is a good place. I tried the Tiger roll. I thought it would be a little bit bigger given the price and that it was one of their special roles. Nonetheless, I was satisfied with the taste and quality. My friend tried the Godzilla roll which was much larger and also very good. I like the sauce that they put on top of the rules; but it's not smothered like some places do it. This will definitely be a place that I return to frequently. read more
