"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 placed an order 5 minutes before they closed and they were very nice about it! They stayed open and waited for me while I drove home from work. I love the food and will 100% go again but at a reasonable hour.

I'm absolutely in love with this restaurant! Every dish I try quickly becomes my new favorite. The prices are incredibly low considering the generous portions and the delicious food. Plus, whenever I order delivery, it always arrives much earlier than expected!

This is the first and last time I will order from this restaurant. I had a delivery, and the food was simply awful! I ended up throwing away the egg rolls because they tasted like sawdust. The Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken were bland and lacking flavor. I also ordered Hot and Sour soup; while the broth was okay, it was missing all the other ingredients. View menu

My friend introduced me to this restaurant, and it's quickly become my favorite spot! On our first visit, we had a male waiter, and during our second visit, a woman served us, and both were incredibly friendly and attentive. The sushi is fantastic, and I can't get over how delicious the cucumber and seaweed salad is! I'm definitely coming back—it's my new favorite place!

I haven't been here in a long time and decided to go today. I also ordered the Tom Yum seafood soup that was extremely spicy and I asked for less spicy and that didn't happen. I also ordered the Tofu pad see ew and found a small sharp bone in it. Wow! Reason to cook at home. You all need to do better if you expect people to still patronize your business. I'm done and over them. Service is not what it used to be. Go elsewhere.

I needed to grab a bite to eat before heading into Sam’s Club (because I tend to overshop, especially when I'm hungry). So, I decided to stop by this restaurant… WOW! It was incredible! I never expected to find such amazing Asian food in a spot that has a gas station in the parking lot, but the phone has been ringing off the hook with orders since I walked in at 3 PM. The sesame shrimp was clearly hand-battered and delicious. The menu offered a wide variety of options, and the service was fantastic. This place is definitely a win for Evanston! View menu

I ordered from Little Wok earlier today and was extremely concerned about sanitation. When I picked up my order, the older woman working the front register had a visibly red nose. Her nose was running. She sneezed and coughed without covering her mouth. The woman did not have a mask on. I spent a great deal on my family's meal and now I don't think it's safe to eat. I never saw her wash her hands after sneezing and coughing. I don't know if she packaged the food or cooked it. I truly hope not. She did not ring up my order. I won't be returning. Their food is usually delicious, but I have to find another restaurant where all employees take hygiene seriously,

After reading some of these terrible reviews, I am now not surprised at today's treatment. I ordered a small rice for pick up because I just needed some rice to go with a meal. I went in to get it and they were incredibly rude. I asked what the problem was and received no answer, nothing, I asked again if I had offended somebody, and the two snotty girls just refused to answer. One went and got my bag, she handed it to me without so much as a get lost. I was absolutely dumbfounded to the point where I was at a loss as to what just happened. I have NEVER in my life been treated so poorly in a place of business. I will not return and I advise all to follow suit. ENG Chinese food on Western nea...
