Brightwok Kitchen and Catering — a Loop health food mainstay. Order the Egg On Top. The look is curated without feeling cold. No long waits, BYOB. Joe Ziemba: "The best thing about it for our family is that (as of last time I went there) the entire family is gluten free" [$]

🍷BYOB — grab a bottle next door, they'll open it.
🌱Vegan & vegetarian friendly — real options, not one sad pasta.

Sehr lecker und nach dem ganzen ungesunden Essen mal eine frische Alternative. Einzig die Getränkeauswahl ist etwas dürftig aber der laden ist eben gesund.

Absolutely delicious! Celiac/Gluten Free friendly. I appreciate the customer service, fresh ingredients, and gluten free sauce options. The space is clean and welcoming atmosphere. Excited to go back soon!

Super tasty! And VERY allergen friendly! It’s free of gluten, dairy, peanuts, fish, and shellfish. A real gem for food safety. Not sure if the best part is I can eat there safely or just how tasty it is. 10/10 would recommend!

I came here to have lunch with my friend. The place was clean. It did not have a lot of people so my friend and I could talk. I ordered the Pad Thai and they made from scratch. It was why it took a long time to get my order. The food was hot and fresh. It tasted very good. This was my first time here. I will come again.

Good food, though they went light on the rice. However, the portions of everything else was great. Overall good tasting food, I've come back here like 3 times and it has been a good experience each time. Good atmosphere, and nice to have a chat with friends. They seem to be out of avocados regularly, which is why im giving them 4 stars.

Quickly becoming my new favorite spot for lunch through MealPal. I am GF and DF. I only eat brown rice. I like finely sliced stirfry vegetables, good chicken... Food is fresh. Zariah & Jerrod were on staff; employees are great -- 5 stars

Brightwok Kitchen and Catering came through for a quick downtown lunch. Built a stir-fry bowl with chicken, rice noodles, broccoli, peppers, onions, garlic soy sauce. Everything tasted super fresh and light but still filling. No gluten/dairy stuff but you wouldn’t even notice. Line moved quick even during rush. Perfect grab-and-go in the Loop when you want something clean but still flavorful.
