"Right from the start, the extensive menu should have raised a red flag. They offer Chinese, Thai, and a variety of traditional Japanese dishes, all alongside a full sushi menu. That's quite a lot to cover! I opted to sample a bit from each cuisine. Here’s a breakdown of what we received: 1. **Shrimp Tempura**: The shrimp was over-fried and greasy, while the accompanying zucchini was rock hard—almost like a hockey puck. I could tap it on the table and hear it bounce. 2. **Teriyaki Chicken Baked Rice**: This dish had no trace of teriyaki flavor. Teriyaki is typically sweet, but this tasted completely bland, with only a hint of garlic sauce. The chicken was dry and unappetizing—very disappointing. 3. **Tom Kha Soup**: Right away, I was concerned by its stark white color. It seemed to be nothing but coconut milk, overwhelmed by the spice from the little red Thai peppers. I’d rate the spice level a 9/10—completely inedible. 4. **Potstickers**: These were primarily sticky dough with very little filling. 5. **Szechuan Wontons**: These were drenched in Szechuan peppercorns, to the point where one bite left my mouth feeling numb. They were also incredibly dry, which was quite off-putting. 6. **Salmon Nigiri**: We ordered a couple of pieces for my daughter, but they looked nearly gray. After the experience with the other dishes, I chose not to take the risk of trying it. After receiving our order, we called the restaurant to express our concerns. The person who answered mentioned that the manager wasn't available and claimed that it was all a matter of taste, adding that he had never received any complaints about these dishes. I’m sharing some photos of what we received, and I can confidently say that we will not be returning to Little Wok again."

"I would rate this 2.5, but you can only rate with full stars, so im giving it three for neutral. We went here for our rehearsal dinner on the 12th, and I wouldn't recommend it for events. The reservation was booked over a month in advance, the doors open at 5pm sharp, and my wedding party of 17 was the first in the door. It was nearly an hour before our tables got bread. Multiple groups were sat, served, and paid before we got appetizers. Some people didn't get sides they ordered at all and when food did arrive we had already been waiting for over 2 hours. The food itself was almost tasteless, and multiple dishes with penne had 10 noodles or less. After waiting for the desert we ordered and getting up to leave(everything was ordered together at the same time at the beginning of the experience) it had been nearly 3 hours and some of the party was still wait8ng on deserts. This ate up most of the rest of the evening anyone had available since again our wedding was the next day. We arrived before 5 and didn't leave until after closer to 9. The positive is the atmosphere was well enough with lit candles and low lighting but the place was freezing all night and there were so many people in the relatively small dining space you had to shout across the table to speak. I am glad they are popular, but I would not go again... not if it's supposed to be an important meal of any kind."

"This restaurant has received excellent reviews, and since I live nearby, I'm disappointed it took me this long to try it. We ordered the chicken hibachi and bulgogi, both of which came with miso soup and rice; the hibachi dinner also included some vegetables. Everything on the side was fantastic—the soup was flavorful, the rice was perfectly sticky and delicious, and the vegetables were cooked just right. The bulgogi was incredibly tender and will definitely be a regular choice for me moving forward. My only issue with the food was that the hibachi chicken was a bit dry. I think if it had been served with a sauce, it could have improved the flavor. However, I plan to explore other options on the menu before giving the chicken another shot. We also ordered the pork gyoza as an appetizer, and it was among the best I've ever had. I tried using the gyoza sauce on the hibachi chicken to help with the dryness, and it worked somewhat. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos of the food, but I do have pictures of the menu, which I will share since all the ones already on here are quite old. This menu reflects the current offerings as of March 28, 2023. It's worth noting that the restaurant currently does not offer dine-in options and is set up for takeout, which was quick and efficient. While the prices may have increased over the years, the quality of the food makes it a great value!"
