Miso soup, Japanese salad and green tea

A hidden gem! Saturday lunchtime we venture to Woow Sushi. It was an excellent recommendation from my husband. We ordered their bento boxes: I got teriyaki salmon and my husband got the chicken teriyaki. Both came with miso soup, Japanese salad, 3 pcs of California roll and 3 mini fried siomai. We also ordered shrimp tempura & Boston rolls from their lunch special. The food was well prepared and delicious. The portions were above average. Fresh wasabi is very much appreciated Service was excellent. The contemporary design of place gave a touch of charisma.

All the samples

I literally just ordered some gyoza on Uber Eats, and I asked for a sauce (i forgot which one so i asked for whatever) they have me a whole plethora to choose from. Service is wonderful, food is amazing, and prices are great. Thank you guys for the samples of all the yummy sauces!

From the outside, definitely not very much to talk about. Once you get inside, it's an excellent atmosphere and great service. We ordered off of the lunch menu. We ordered the two roll and the pork tonKatsu. Great special place for sushi, highly recommend eating here!

WOOW SUSHI - Miso Soup. It's a little thin, but there is plenty of seaweed.
Eric F.

"Woow Sushi" is a creature of it's time and location. Placed prominently in the front section of a very large, multi-buildinged strip mall on Randle Road (a major street) in the township of Algonquin (a fairly robust area in Chicago's far northwest suburbs), "Woow Sushi" is pretty easy to spot, but a bit harder to get to. After suffering numerous failed twists & turns through the winding roadways of it's enormous and confusing mall-scape, we finally reached our planned destination. Based on the goofy name, I expected "WOOW Sushi" to be some tiny dump of a franchise, but it was not. The restaurant's size was deceptive from the parking lot view. But once inside my girlfriend and I saw that it took up two or maybe even three entire store fronts, going back deep to the far rear wall of the entire mall building. The place was huge. Of course, this only made the handful of customers there look like a few little groups of hobbits, even though there may have been more than a dozen, sitting in twos at their tables in the intimately dim central dining room. It actually looked nice in there, and maybe even romantic. But unfortunately we were sat at the far corner table near the service area of the bar, with carts full of plate collection bins and a bucket full of cleaning detergent about four feet away. I wanted to move to a table in the much more pleasant middle dining room, but my girlfriend, Maureen, had recently been giving me a lot of trouble regarding my continuous expressions of dissatisfaction with our seats and food and other problems, at multiple restaurants recently, restaurants that I felt could have served us much better, and she was pissed at me for it. It actually got to the point that if I said anything to the staff, or even asked for a refill of coffee that had been empty for way too long, she would hang her head in shame and embarrassment and maybe even start a fight. So I decided to just accept the nasty seat that they gave us, and avoid ruining our lunch with my arrogant complaints. However, before we ordered, when Maureen jogged off to the bathroom, I took the opportunity to ask a staff member to please stop mopping around our table and to move the bucket of cleaning liquid far away, because it stank - which they did, promptly before Maureen returned. As far as the menu here goes, "Woow Sushi" has a multi-sectioned menu, with each section listing dishes from a different Asian Cuisine: Japanese, Chinese, and Thai, with Japanese cuisine being the most prominent (nearly all of it Nigiri Sushi and American style over-embellished Maki Rolls covered in glitzy but cheap ingredients). But like so many other supposed "Japanese" restaurants in this area, 'Woow Sushi' is hedging it's bets by also offering it's customers a variety of other Asian favorites, like 'Pad Thai', 'Fresh Spring Rolls in Rice-Paper Wrap', & 'Pork Sate' (from Thailand), 'Hot & Sour Soup', 'Fried Rice', 'Kung Pao Beef', and 'General Tsao's Chicken' (from China), and of course 'Shrimp Tempura', Sukiyaki Beef, 'BBQ Char-Su Ramen Noodle Soup', and various 'Teriyaki' bowls (from Japan). 'Woow Sushi' also has a decent looking Sushi Bar, and a few higher quality bottles of Sake on it's liquor shelf. Overall, the "Pan-Asian" menu here offers enough 'Fan-Favorites' that the local northwest suburban customer base should be more than satisfied. But the best thing about the menu, and the reason that we decided to come on a Saturday, is because "Woow Sushi" actually offers it's weekday lunch specials on Saturdays up until mid-afternoon. Maureen doesn't care for Sushi, but she loves Tempura, so I emailed her a copy of the Saturday lunch specials, and the prominent one to peak her interest was the Tempura set, which offered 3 shrimp tempura & 4 vegetable tempura, plus miso soup, a crisp salad with ginger dressing, 3 gyoza dumplings, 3 pieces of California roll, plus a large portion of rice, all for $14. It was a shocking bargain seeing as the tempura alone cost $18 just as an appetizer. So we both got that set. The salad was great with that yummy ginger dressing. And although the tempura breading was a little heavy (being panko instead of batter) the shrimps were big and juicy and the crust on every piece was crunchy-good. And like the huge restaurant itself, the portions here are enormous. Both of us had enough leftovers for at least a full meal (and I had enough for two meals because I eat less due to my gastric bypass surgery in 2011). Our waiter was very attentive almost to the point of being wacky. It was the day before St. Patrick's Day, and even though he was Asian, he kept wishing us a "Happy St. Patrick's Day" and bringing us to-go boxes filled with extra miso soups and extra salads. Maureen was so taken by him that she asked me write, "Liam was such a sweet waiter I hope you will give him a great review". So I have. And he deserves it. "Happy St. Patrick's Day" Liam. Yours, Maureen & Eric. We'll be back.

Amazing service! Amazing food! It was our second time there and it keeps getting better

Upon walking up to the front it doesn't look to grand as its inside a stripe mall, however the decor is pleasant to look at and everything looked neat, tidy and clean. Service 5/5: Pays great attention to their customers and brings a bowl of complimentary edamame to the table. Made sure my water glass never ran dry and had good timing to ask how I might be doing, or if I needed anything else. Food 4/5: great presentation and huuuge rolls. Unique flavors and the chef sauces they used were amazing!

Haven't eaten here for a while but the soups and Kung pao beef were excellent. Maybe a new cook?…read more We'll de ordering here more often. Give it a try.

Placed an order online and will say absolutely disappointed with my order and service…read more Upon arrival the wait was short. I paid automatically with a credit card. Then my food is brought out but before I can leave I'm told that they made a mistake on line with pricing and I owe them $0.75 more which I did not care and gave them $.08 but I wonder if they owed me the $.75 if they would be so willing to give it back to me. Then the owner comes out and starts taking my food out. If you place an order $50 or more you get an appetizer for free. our previous visit they forgot it and we were told the next time when we place an order to remind them and they will give us one. So since this order was over $50, I got one appetizer for free plus the appetizer that they forgot about last time. The owner comes out and starts digging out the additional appetizer. You only get one you only get one. Which I nicely explained to her that they owed us two. Very unpleasant woman. But the disappointment comes when I get home and opened all of the containers. Mongolian beef was horrible. It's called Mongolian beef because it's supposed to have beef . The dish is 90% onion couple noodles throw in and a little bit of beef ....just horrible. Same thing with other two meals where you had majority of vegetables and no meats or shrimp. Very disappointed with the order. They are becoming hidden and miss restaurant. You never know if you're gonna get a good order or a crappy order like we got today.

Basic looking Chinese restaurant in Algonquin. China Dragon 1 is pretty sketchy even for strip mall…read morestatus to be honest. It has a minimal dining area with only a few tables. Cluttered with boxes of supplies and junk. The food is really cheap at least. A restaurant that is bare bones. It's one of those strip mall Chinese restaurants that is similar to all the others. This one makes the others look fantastic though. Had a part of the dining area closed off. There were only a few available tables. It's about $8 for an entree. The one here for vegetarians is the Tofu Vegetables. Sounds generic. This has mushrooms and pea pods. A lot more to get if wanting something more authentic. There's pad Thai as well as many others. For sure it actually is one of the best Asian restaurants around here. It's located in the plaza with the post office. They're closed Tuesdays.

We got the order delivered by uber because that was the only option for delivery China dragon had. Our order was missing items I called the restaurant asking if it was there and got left behind. I had to repeat what I had in front of me as food twice and then was cut off and told it's An uber issue and I have to deal with them! I WAS going to ask for them to make the items missing and I would have picked it up - instead after that statement I was hung up on. We will no longer be ordering from China dragon. Horrible customer service is not ok.

Went on a Sunday night. I can tell that this place is popular for carry out, because that had most…read moreactivity here. My friend and I enjoyed a sit down meal, with our own dedicated server, since no other folks except us were in the dining room. I enjoyed a cashew chicken, served family style, very very generous portion for price. My friend enjoyed the duck, also served family style. White rice is free with the meal, fried rice is an. extra charge as its own dish. The hot tea at the table was pretty weak tasting, but the tasty food, interesting decor, and the friendly server was quite nice to have. Note: instead of just handing us boxes to box up our leftovers, our server actually put our plates on a tray at a nearby table and boxed up our food for us. A very nice touch so we didn't have to worry about possibly messing up our hands and our outfits managing all of that. I would definitely go back again: the service and the food were memorable.

Don't know why I would just drive by Lily Garden without even considering it. I tried it once…read more Since then, the craving kicks in, we come back. It is decent. I did not realize that they run a sit down restaurant, well decorated at that. I'm always greeted with a courtious smile and light conversation. Generous quantities, tasty food. Everything is fresh and hot. Their wonton and hot and sour soups are better than most of the other nearby take out places. I like that they follow your special instructions when placing an online order..some places do not. I've noticed that they tend to be on the lightly seasoned side, so I always request fried rice extra spicy and dark. This means they will add a little more soy sauce and very mild spice. Also, they do make smoothies guys. An important note, when you order, you pay at pickup, not online. All I want, some consistency in life. They are consistent. That is why carry out from Lily Garden.

After placing a to go order, I came. It was pretty empty inside, as in no customers were actually inside. They were only accepting to go orders, so that's why. Basic kind of Chinese American items.
