“The food is always solid, poIite staff, pretty fast outside of lunch/dinner hour. If you are looking for a recommendation, you can't go wrong with the basics: chicken fried rice, orange chicken, egg foo young, or wonton soup. Items I also recommend: Mongolian beef or salt and pepper shrimp. I eat there so frequently I felt it's time I owed them the rating they deserve.”
“Food is sooo good! Haven’t had good Chinese food in a while and this has become my favorite spot. Their lunch special is amazing with good portions.”
“This neighborhood is so lucky to have Wok You Want. Wish we have one in the West Loop. We just passed by this place so we tried it. Ordered fried rice (lunch special) and a Large Mixed Veggie Stir Fry dish and it was so yummy. Fried Rice came with the usual egg roll. So whenever we’re around the area. We’ll definitely come back.”
“My new favorite place! Reasonable price, great service and the food is so delicious! One of the best Chinese in Chicago!”
“My favorite order is a "Sesame Chicken" it's so yummmyyyyyy! ✨ The sauce balance between sweet and tangy, with a hint of umami.”
“First time trying this location for lunch. It was pretty average. Had the bbq pork mongolian style. A few portions of large pork but also an entire onion. Pretty average could of done with more meat. Flavor was good might try again in the future but hope for more protein. Very small interior feels more like a take out / delivery locations than dine in.”
“Seriously craving sesame chicken and fried rice so I figured I’d try this place out. Starting with the chicken, it was still relatively crisp after delivery. Some pieces had a little too much breading to chicken, but a good flavor and not overly sauced. Fair amount of chicken for a small order too. The vegetable fried rice was good. A mix of vegetables throughout with my favorite being the baby corn and onion for the crunch. I wouldn’t say this is the best I’ve had but man did it hit the spot.”
“Ordered online and spent a good amount of money and was told I get free pot stickers which I never gotten and asked for green onions only and was loaded up with white onions and a little green onion. Wasting time picking out the white onions to eat. Doesn't follow online instructions when ordered.”
“Got takeout from here - the Mongolian beef was like 80% onions and barely any meat and tasted gross, the soup I got was super watered down. Fried rice was the only thing edible.”
“Significant delay on picking up our order. I waited more than 30 minutes past the delivery window. The wheels came off tonight. They had no information - lost control. Spend the time in small cramped room waiting for pick up - being pushed around by uber and door dash delivery drivers - Finally got the food. Orange chicken and rice dishes were mediocre. The sweet and sour balls were inedible. Maybe we were unlucky with this place tonight but no way we could recommend. Our $80 would have been better spent elsewhere.”
