“Finally stopped by after admiring this place from afar, and it did not disappoint. Cozy summer-house vibes, excellent food, wonderfully friendly staff. I walked out feeling recharged. Absolutely will be back!”

“A fantastic spot for sushi and Asian cuisine lovers. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff are attentive and friendly, and the ambiance is fun and inviting. I’m so happy to finally have a chance to dine in, as I’ve always noticed this cozy place every time I pass by on the bus. A great spot to enjoy a delicious meal with family or friends! 🍣🥢✨”

“I found this little place quite pleasant. The California rolls were arranged with the utmost respect and gorgeous presentation. The cashew chicken was delicious, and the green tea is piping hot; you may have to let that cool down. I'd highly recommend Hot Woks to anyone looking for good Asian food.”

“Always a great experience. Great fresh sushi 🍣 great service.”

“Thai modern Microchain in Chicago. This particular location is creatively settled next to the raging Kennedy Expressway. No way this property works with most small businesses but these kids made it happen campy cozy and cool. Super great food , very reasonable prices. Expansive menu, servers always pleasant. A God during the year of the Snake.”

“Stopped in for ramen, which was delicious! Also had the unagi and salmon sushi, wonderful as well. The service was very attentive.”

“The food is decent but I requested no baby corn. There's clearly baby corn in my order.”

“Had to change my 5 star review to 1 star For over a year we are ordering same sushi every Friday it was our favorite place....lately like last 3-4 orders the salmon sushi looks like they are making them with left overs there is no salmon but just the fat from it.....that is unacceptable....i understand the inflation but we are not paying for leftovers!!!!!! Next time if i receive them like this...will bring them back myself!!!”
“Clean facility, great food, perfectly located near the train”
“Ordered for delivery tonight and it said it would take a little over an hour, but it arrived probably in 40 minutes. Super fast! Food was hot and delicious and the best fried rice I have ever!”
