“This was a perfect little Chinese restaurant. I got sesame chicken and lo mein, and it was delicious. Amazing atmosphere. The price was amazing for the giant portions they gave us. They also have the cutest to go boxes!!”
“This neighborhood favorite has only gotten better. The expanded Pan-Asian menu, which includes Mandarin, Szechuan, Cantonese, Thai, Korean, and Japanese dishes, has useful symbols for food that is spicy, vegetarian, etc. The salt and pepper tofu is just amazing.”
“Great little restaurant with affordable options. Wide variety of Chinese and Japanese dishes and a nice drink selection. Service is fast.”
“For the last 7 years, Little Wok has been a Friday night take-home specialty. Once every few months we dine in - as we did again tonight. One of my twin daughters was diagnosed with cancer at age 4 while here in Skokie, and one of the only foods she'd eat was Little Wok's egg drop soup. Not anyone else's (believe me, we tried several.) They give my girls special kids' chopsticks and are so kind and generous. It always feels like we're special guests and everyone is always friendly and kind. We go here for birthday dinners or "hungry after gymnastics" dates. We're moving and we're all a bit sad to leave Little Wok behind. Thank you for nearly a decade of delicious meals and comfort.”
“Good place, looks nice and clean inside. The meat is gummy, low quality and has an odd taste even with all the spices. The good part is that, the staff is friendly and ready to help. There is plenty of parking spaces and a gas station in the same parking lot.”
“I love this place but there was plastic in my food today!!!!!!!!!!!! Not cool at all after paying a good amount. I chewed it while eating.... What the heck! 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢😢😢😢😢😢😢”
“The food was disgusting. I ordered pad Thai and it soggy. Why is it colored red? Also they used pho noodles instead of pad Thai noodles, it was the lunch special with chicken and shrimp portion and it came with ONE shrimp. I also ordered salt and pepper squid and it was the smallest portion I’ve ever seen. It was also SUPER SALTY. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ALSO QUESTIONABLE, THEY RUB ME THE WRONG WAY.”
“Don’t judge this restaurant by its location. Food very good, quality and proportions are good as well. Value for the money.”
“I went today for the first time and the food and service was Excellent! I highly recommend the Mongolian beef!”
“I did a carry out, generous portions for the price. The staff was very friendly. It's a very small space in a strip mall, and does not have much ambiance for dining in, but a great place to grab a quick dinner. They are also happy and willing to make recipe less spicy, which was great for the kids. Kids enjoyed beef friend rice and General Tso's chicken. General Tso's tofu could have more bonding with the sauce, but overall, definitely will do a repeat purchase. Food was ready very quickly, and you can also order online for pickup or delivery.”
