Everyone here is so nice. The food was good. Orange chicken has a little more spice and definitely an orange flavor. Lo mien was great. Serving sizes were pretty good. They play cool music in the restaurant.

Orange Chicken
Christopher V.

I've had better. I've had worse. Definitely not 5 star worthy as the overall rating suggests. 3.5 at best. I've had the orange chicken, sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, and the egg rolls. Solid at best. Temper your expectations.

Bean Curd Szechuan Style

Better than expected. It didn't seem like this place would be that good, but even for being a crappy looking place it was quite a find. Wonder Chop is one of the cheapest places to eat in Bucktown, or wherever. Okay prices on most items so it's pretty cheap. The area is kind of sketchy but not that bad for sure. Americanized Chinese yes, but it's good for what it is. It has a pretty standard menu. There's the basic type of stuff. It's about $9 for an entree. There's mostly beef and chicken, but some things for vegetarians. I picked up the Bean Curd Szechuan Style for carryout. The soft tofu wasn't the kind I prefer, but it tasted good in the hot sauce. Had some good flavor. There were also carrots and onions. Good place for cheap Chinese American food. It's a lot better than it looks. They still haven't reopened the dining room so it's only takeout.

Beef chow mein fun

Reasonably priced and delicious is how I would describe Wonder Chop for Chinese food. You can dine in at the immaculate dining room or order carry out. We were seated and served quickly while some soft contemporary piano music filled the air...it was just right. Our food choices came fast. Everything was as fresh as can be and served by who appears to be the owner. A charming lady who is soft spoken, all smiles and takes an interest in your dining experience. The food is carefully prepared and they serve the more traditional Chinese menu items such as home made Egg Phoo Yong, and crispy Egg Rolls served hot and fresh. They offer a wide selection of meat + vegetarian choices and you can add a little more spice if that's what you like. Honestly, we're foodies... we know what we want and searched around for a good clean simple Chinese restaurant. We mostly found fusion choices that although they were good, they just didn't fit. Looking for a new go-to for traditional Chinese... we highly recommend Wonder Chop. You won't de disappointed!

Stopped in with my brother for a late lunch. The table was nice and clean. Friendly staff and pretty quick service! The food was served hot and fresh. I'll definitely come back soon.

This is an excellent sushi place - great vibe, young crowd, and terrific food…read more We started with the roasted edamame and the tempura shrimp, followed that with three rolls, and finished with sashimi - it was all excellent, the beers were very cold, and the service was solid (not excellent but very good for the price point) Prices are not cheap but not as crazy as some other places (Juno is better, but it can get really pricey). Sushi-San is Defintely on our regular list

Seating was comfortable. I tried their express lunch menu, which is a great option if you're here during lunch time. You get to pick 3 items from the list and I chose tako taco (a little spicy but highly recommend- one of my favorite things that day), salmon avocado (I'm not a personal fan of the Meyer lemon sauce), and tuna avocado rice bowl. Each item is smaller portioned but all together it's a substantial lunch set. I also tried the express sushi and sashimi lunch set, which comes with a delicious seaweed salad which I would order on its own as an appetizer. The lunch set comes with their "oh-my-kaze." This includes salmon, hamachi and tuna. One piece of tuna was substandard and had a big piece of sinew in it. Our server quickly switched it for another piece. The only dish I would skip is the Peking duck sizzling rice. The taste was fine- a little on the sweeter side with the hoisin sauce but the portion was more of an appetizer size. It's also not a true Peking duck, which focuses on a crispy duck skin and this dish just featured duck meat.

We wanted to have some sake and asked for help. Their sommelier was very helpful and recommended the Snow Tiger Yuki Tora which is unfiltered and looks like milk, but it went beautifully with our food. We started with Edamame which had a perfect char. The grilled Avocado was a pleasant surprise with the char flavor and great spicy sauce. You get a spoon to scoop out the avocado and it's sliced so it works with chop sticks. By the way everything is great for sharing which gives everyone a chance to try the wonderful menu. Then we attacked the main menu. The Wagyu Nigiri, the must have Bluefin Tuna Crispy Rice, Crispy Spring Rolls and I drank the juice with the Hamachi and Lemon. Now it's time to figure what's next! spicy Tuna roll, triple tuna roll, the incredible Wild Mushroom sizzling rice bowl and it is sizzling! We're nearing the end! The Unagi and the Black Cod couldn't have been any better. It melted in our mouths. Think we're finished, we saved room for dessert! The Miru-Ishi and Black Sesame Mochi. We're finished! Maria was a great server and was very attentive!

Came here for the lunch omakase, which features dry-aged fish. 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.
