“I am Celiac, so I have to eat gluten-free and avoid cross contamination.”

I am Celiac, so I have to eat gluten-free and avoid cross contamination. This place was amazing! We got two of the bowls (can’t remember their names) but they were really good. The server was also able to make great recommendations which I always love to see. If you have tried it, this restaurant is like the warm version of Bibibap Asian Grill. Only thing is, it was really really hot in the restaurant so we almost couldn’t sit there. Otherwise worth a try if you’re celiac and so reasonably priced.

I’ve been a regular at Brightwok Bowl for quite some time, but today truly stood out as the best visit yet. A big shoutout to Erik for his exceptional customer service — he went above and beyond to make my experience memorable. His friendly attitude and attention to detail truly make this place special. My bowl was hot and freshly prepared, which made all the difference. The combination of great taste and excellent service keeps me coming back. Plus, Erik maintains the place impeccably clean, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. Cheers to Erik for his dedication! I’ll definitely be returning soon. If you’re looking for delicious, fresh food with top-notch service, Brightwok Bowl is the place to go.

“I love that this place is fully gluten free.”

I love that this place is fully gluten free. Staff was very knowledgeable about allergens. I made my own bowl, my fiance got one of the suggested bowls and they were both delicious!

SO GOOD. I tried this place my first night in Chicago and went back (delivery) for lunch and dinner the next day too. The sesame bowl could have done with more sauce, but otherwise everything was so good. Local corn is a great addition. I had a BYOB with the cashew sauce, and a golden curry bowl as well. They left off the onions as requested when placing my online order. Can't wait to come back and have it again

“Lots of options for gluten free and vegan diners.”

Lots of options for gluten free and vegan diners. It’s the Asian version of Chipotle with the build your own bowl. We enjoyed the red curry sauce with double tofu and one of the delicious sweet potato fritters to top it off! Staff was friendly and fast. Not to mention it was open late when many places have closed.

“Really love the fact that you can customize what you want.”

Really love the fact that you can customize what you want. Even their preset bowls are great but the added option of making your own is great! The service could be a little slow because of how busy they get in the evenings. Their sweet potato fritters are really good! PS - They also have a generous reward program when you order online!

“I walked by this place a couple of times and finally gave it a try.”

I walked by this place a couple of times and finally gave it a try. I'm so glad I did. I ordered the Kickn Panang rice bowl and it was a taste sensation. Many of the onion and broccoli pieces had charring from the wok that added to the flavor. The tofu was firm, and the curry sauce made brought the dish to life.

“One of the best healthy food places that I ate in Chicago.”

One of the best healthy food places that I ate in Chicago. Staff is super nice, location is very convenient and the portions are great, and you can simply eat there every day because the food is healthy and tasty. Tried the "everyday eat right" and the sweet umami mushroom" so far and looking forward to try the rest of their plates

“$10, a massive bowl of actually hot curry stir fry.”

$10, a massive bowl of actually hot curry stir fry. I also can't believe it was so empty on a night for dinner. And make sure you try the ginger beer, not too sharp and a light sweetness.
