    Let me preface this review by stating I have been to this location a number of times a year or so ago. I have always gotten their sushi, chicken lettuce wraps, salads, fried dumplings, egg rolls and have never been disappointed. I actually thought their sushi was pretty damn good, I was impressed on the quality and freshness, and the rolls were what you'd typically find at a good restaurant and I've eaten at a lot of good sushi restaurants. On my most recent visit (a week ago) my friend and I decided we needed a sushi fix and went here. Walking in at 5:30 on a Tue., we were told all app's and maki rolls were 1/2 off....so we were super happy and dined in the bar area. Hostess was really friendly as was our waitress (who was very attentive as well). Bar was not crowded at this time. We ordered 5 maki rolls (mostly standard rolls), and appetizers: pan fried dumplings and crab cake. As soon as the sushi came out I immediately noticed how small the rolls were in comparison to how they were in the past. These were definately SMALLER. In addition, the spicy tuna and tiger rolls were on the salty side. The fried dumpling filling tasted overcooked and dry...the crab cake resembled nothing of a crab cake, nor did it taste like one and served on a small bed of rice with a few micro greens on top? Would definitely not order this again. All in all, I believe in the motto you get what you pay for (most of the time). The fact that we had no alcohol and our total bill before tip was $34.00 was pretty great. The sushi was not bad, but not great this time around - but we were full and satisfied. Its great to take advantage of their 1/2 off nights if you want to fill up on app's and sushi and aren't super picky about your sushi. I'll give them 4 stars based on the good sushi I did have awhile back, but for great sushi, I'd go somewhere else.

    I went during one of their happy hours (half off appitizers and maki rolls). The happy hour applys only at the bar. I got the maki roll sampler it was $13.95($7 after discount) it had a 4 piece of : california roll, philidelpia roll, spicy tuna roll, and avacado roll They were all delious, nothing real special to make it stand out but very satisfying to eat. The service was on par- nothing special, but still never left alone for very long time. I would say great place for happy hour, but there are better places for the same price Over all i had a great experiance there and was satisfied with a full tummy.

    I just got home from this Addison location. The hostess did seat us right away, right by the door though when there were only 3 other tables being utilized. Our waitress (Erin) came after a few minutes asked us what drinks we wanted or if we wanted any appetizers. We told her 3 waters and a 20 ounce beer. The beer to awhile to come, water was empty for half of my meal, she refilled 2/3 glasses and did not take away the dirty beer class, then my chicken tasted like it was siting out all day. Panda Express had better chicken than that chewiness. Have been to South Barrington location and much better experience as well as quality food.

    We had dinner here the other night. When we were greeted, we were informed that sitting at the bar affords you half-priced apps and sushi. Sign us up! We ordered the following: Hong Kong Calamari app - $10 Vietnamese Summer Roll app - $8 Kiss roll - $11 Spider roll - $10 Fantasy roll - $8 Negihamatchi roll - $8 Mexican roll - $13 = $68 regular total, so $34 pre-tax and tip. Not bad for two of us. Verdict: The Summer Rolls were okay. Though the I love my carbs and the noodles inside gave a good contrasting texture, it was a bit of a carb overload. Bok choy (?) Was the only veggie present. We LOVED the Calimari; it was seriously the best thing ever: large unbreaded calimari slices with veggies in a savory sauce... that is, UNTIL we found a 2" piece of melted cellophane in the dish. Sorry, but that totally turned me off. We showed our server, who apologized, took the dish, and deducted it from our bill. The Spider and Mexican Rolls were the most distinguishable and tasty, whereas the Kiss, Fantasy, and Negi Rolls were all very similar (minus the asparagus in one). They were OK, but the smallest (number of pieces AND size) maki I've ever had! The good part was that you could fit pieces in your mouth without a struggle, unlike the monster rolls at my favorite AYCE joints. If we had paid full price, though, I'd have felt ripped off. Service at the bar was pretty poor: we had to flag down our server for refills because he was schmoozing with a group of girls drinking wine. I guess that's what you get at the bar area, though. I wouldn't go running back to Wok 'n Fire, but I wouldn't discount it if there was a deal such as the half-priced one we experienced.

    Where's the flavor?--I got the sweet and sour wok-dish with chicken. A handcrafted ginger-ale which was pretty good. And the apple ginger dessert. The presentation was nice but upon further review--it had enough rice to feed a small village, it also came with (what looked like 2 whole cooked) fresh peppers and onions with a few shredded carrots, 5-6 pieces of pineapple and not enough chicken. The flavor was okay. There definitely wasn't enough sauce to cover the Sahara desert's worth of rice on my plate. I've definitely had better, but it tasted fresh which was nice. The waitress wasn't very friendly and was quickly gone from my table every time after dropping off either the meal, drink, dessert or check. Wasn't thrilled and I won't be back...

    Not the best service when the bartender is also serving as a waiter. We had to flag him down each time we needed something, he hardly ever checked on us. The restaurant is pretty dark and the hostess went around closing the blinds. The sushi was mediocre and don't get the potstickers/dumplings, they were awful. The only thing that saves this place is the half price happy hour in the bar area and the noodle dishes are good with large portions. I recommend the Shanghai and Kung pao noodles

Food is pretty good I have to say! Service was quite attentive which I like! Wasn't pushy and always showed up when needed! I recommend!!!

    Place sucks. Either other reviewer's never had good sushi or they were bribed for a good review. I wouldn't even go here for 50% off. Unorganized management. We walked in and waited for the host for like 5 minutes because he was busy serving, then he had to look real hard at the computer where to seat us when half of the room was open. It took forever to get our food, people that came in after us got theirs first... Got an order of calimari and three orders of sushi. Calimari was ok, but the sushi was terrible, falling apart and super tiny and no flavor for the price I pay at a good sushi place. Maybe they have some good food there but I don't think I will be back there to find out. My bill was 60 for one small beer, 3 sushi plates, and calimari... I had better sushi from jewl osco.

    We first went to this location back in 2012/13 I believe, looking for sushi of course. As of August 2014 we've gone weekly for the happy hour on Tuesdays. Sometimes it is really busy and you may have to wait for a seat but usually if there isn't a table there are seats at the bar though it is a small seating area. The actual dining room is more spacious if you want to order off the regular menu. We usually get one appetizer, two drinks, and 4 traditional maki rolls all for 1/2 price. Bill isn't over $30 (pre-tip) and we're full! Today was especially busy so I wanted to finally leave a review because even though we had to wait for food it was awesome as usual. Jamie is our usual waitress and we were glad to see Jeanna helping her out up there because of the crowd. Thumbs up on their service. Crab cake handrolls were tonight's appetizer. They took a while but were still warm. The crab cakes shaped like small mozzarella sticks atop some warm sushi rice with bean sprouts wrapped in a rice paper and a dollop of spicy mayo. Delicious! I highly recommend their Hong Kong calamari appetizer. It is a tolerable spice level (high end of mild which I prefer), calamari itself isn't deep fried but very good in the sauce with some veggies. Their miso soup isn't on the appetizer menu so is never half price but totally worth it as it is about double the size of most places' serving. We've tried every traditional maki they have except the avocado (it is on top of several rolls anyway). We enjoy them all and think they're all top notch, we just have those we prefer due to fish preferences. Our favorite spicy one is the Crazy roll. We pair it with the Tiger which is topped with avocado to keep our mouths from being on fire. Spider and Philly rolls are both regulars on our order as well. All hot dishes we've had here are good, but we haven't had many yet. Ginger beef wok-tossed is awesome as well as the Bangkok garlic. Grilled Wasabi Salmon is a favorite of the chef specials and not too spicy despite the name (I'm sure you could amp it up by request). Overall we've really come to love this place, obviously. Highly recommend it and we bring any guests who want Asian/Sushi fare.

    GO DURING HAPPY HOUR. Appetizers, some of the sushi, and drinks are 1/2 off!! It's a really good deal. Negatives of this place are that it's crowded, loud, and cramped in the lounge during happy hour. And the service is relatively slow as well. Also, the food is good but it's not exceptional. It's similar to P.F. Chang's or T.G.I.F in terms of food quality.

    Had an amazing meal. Stumbled upon Happy hour! Had one of my favorite beers (Sapporo) for $3..I highly recommend "the Mexican" roll and szechwan!

  • Mike C.

    Solid C-minus Nothing authentic about this place. So mediocre you'd expect the same quality of Asian food at a pizza joint. Most of the noodle or entree dishes have almost no flavor. I drown them in sriracha. Edamame swimming in oil. Wait, what?! I haven't (and probably wouldn't) tried the sushi.

  • Kristen D.

    I have been here twice and each time has been a horrible experience. Service is awful here. At one point the entire restaurant was looking for our waitress because she disappeared for like 20 minutes at least! Not only did she go missing but she messed up everybody's orders. We asked to speak with the manager and instead of making sure we the customers were satisfied and apologize for our bad experience, she tried to justify the waitress' mistakes! Love the food here but the service sucks!

    Several years later and things are far better! We had been going to the one in Burr Ridge for a while, and since it is a chain, I figured they must be similar. The husband is obsessed with chicken satay - as if no other place offers it, and he usually gets the steak teriyaki as well. I'm a fan of the two roll sushi lunch special and ea the cucumbers off of his satay tray. Also like the flavored lemonades. It was really weird that we were the only people in here for lunch on a Saturday at 1:00, but a few more people came in after us.

  • Sarah L.

    Horrible horrible hostess! So extremely rude, arrived at 6:30 and could not quote me a time because of "reservations." Two other people were waiting and she basically told us to go elsewhere. Worst part was that there was about 4-5 open tables! She needs some manners. Horrible first impression.

    Good place to go for a tasty quick lunch. They have a number of sushi, rice, and noodle lunch specials. I had the sushi lunch today which came with hot and sour soup, 3 pieces of nigiri sushi and California roll and spicy tuna roll. I have had the sweet and spicy shrimp and pad Thai noodles before as well. Green tea comes in a cool cast iron tea pot. Service is fast and friendly. This is a regular spot for me since its close to my office.

    Time to update my review of Wok 'n Fire and it is still 4-star worthy. We have caught the special happy hour deal on a few occasions and it is a solid value. On Mon, Tues, Thurs & Fri from 4:00 to 7:00 PM you can order Maki rolls and apps for 50% off. Additionally, they have 20 ounce Sapporo's for $3. The sushi and sashimi are good quality and it's easy to make a meal out of the apps and rolls. Recently, 3 of us dined and ordered 2 apps, 3 rolls, hot sake and 4 Sapporo's. The bill was just under $46. The only downside is that the happy hour deal is only good in the bar area which is pretty small. Our server was Alicia who is just terrific and treats you like an old friend. Good Job Wok 'n Fire!

    OK - so I don't know what happened to this place since I've been gone, but I love the change! This place has done a complete 180 since my last visit and I ain't even mad about it. If they keep this up, I can see this Wok 'n Fire location rackin' up those stars. So, here's what you missed last time: came for the happy hour and the food was amazing, but the service was absolutely horrendous from the hostess to the server to the manager...NIGHTMARE Fast forward to my latest visit.............................................­........................................... For a quick going away meal before my train, my friend and I decided to hit up the happy hour special here (half off apps and select drinks!!!), taking our chances, especially after what had transpired last time - we were cautiously optimistic. Surprisingly, after arriving, we were greeted by the hostess, whom was very friendly and led us to the bar (note: happy hour special only valid in bar area) As quick as we were seated, our server, Tara, greeted us, told us about the specials, and got our drink orders. As usual, our eyes were waay bigger than our stomachs and we ordered: CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS Such a light and refreshing dish! There are so many textures with the cool crispy lettuce, unctuous ground chicken and crunchy fried noodles with a sweet and tangy sauce. YUM. CHICKEN DUMPLINGS These were nothing great - in fact, I know I can and have made better ones at home. Skip it! CALAMARI I'm a sucker for fried calamari. It is so frickin' tender and fried to crispy crunchy perfection! Just can't get enough of it. You just can't go wrong with this dish. It's served with a sweet tomato sauce - kinda like ketchup? SOOO GOOOD...get it! CRAB CAKE HAND ROLLS This dish is kinda a cross between sushi and a spring roll. There's a deep fried crab cake with rice, lettuce, avocado wrapped inside rice paper topped with a dollop of spicy mayo and sprinkle of sesame seeds - perfect bite! It's served with a yummy Asian slaw with cabbage, carrots, red onion and crunchy noodles - DELISH. TUNA POKE Poke is basically raw fish that's seasoned and marinated that's served throughout Hawaii. The poke comes served with crispy rice chips stacked up like a napoleon alternating with a layer of poke then chip and so on. It's served with pickled ginger and a wasabi sauce as well as a sweet sauce - I highly recommend this dish! The service compared to my last visit was day and night. The food came out super fast and Tara was incredibly attentive even though there were many patrons in the restaurant, always making sure to check on us and refill our drinks. Additionally, there was different manager filling in who was very friendly and welcoming while we were dining. Overall, we had amazing and CHEAP food (only about $25 for 5 large apps) with great service! I can definitely see myself coming back again if they keep up what they're doing!

    Wok n' Fire is a great place for sushi and Japanese food - we normally order and pick it up (they use to deliver but now do not). Dining in is just as good - friendly and attentive service. Certain days of the week they have happy hour in the bar/sushi a area with 1/2 price rolls. They have the freshest rice for sushi, their miso soup is excellent, and the Malaysian satay appetizer is very good too!

  • Gina L.

    Went for happy hour with a friend. It took quite some time for someone to come out and seat us & a couple behind us (it was a Monday evening at 6PM) We sat in the lounge area which is extremely small & we had no space at all. The coconut shrimp was burnt & the whole piece was fried with little shrimp inside. The egg rolls were really good along with the sauces. Our waitress was on top of things which made the experience better. We would have sat in the dining room but would not be able to take advantage of the happy hour.

    Again, I say this place would get zero stars if I had a choice. I get a call from the owner Siri today - wow- can I say what a jerk? He is super rude, speaks in a horrible tone, and is not at all polite. I can see how insincere he was for calling me but did it just to do it. I could not believe that the owner was worse than his employees. He calls me and talks to me in an accusing tone- basically defending his staff when really its literally my words against theirs and of course who would admit to fault on the job?? Wok N Fire gave me problems previously and I gave them another chance only to have another problem. He wouldnt take responsibility for the mistakes his staff made, he accused me of saying "Ill just complain again and get another one of these" that he says his staff said I had told them but there is no way I would say that. My husband and I clearly remember me saying "you know the reason why I got this certificate was because of a horrible experience I had at the Wheaton Wok N Fire. Now Im going to have to call and complain about this experience" to the "manager Liz" there. I dont know who was lying about this whole thing Liz or My server Giana but they are all horrible people. I would say avoid this place at all costs-- Im all for supporting small business- you can find better food and authentic in other places other than a chain. If the owners of wok N fire dont care about their customer satisfaction and wont take responsibility for the poor conduct of their employees then who will? I would never support a business owned by a rude, arrogant, and irresponsible man.

    My gf and I had the chicken katsu ramen and it was surprisingly good. Wok n fire should put this item on their menu permanently. Food, service, and atmosphere were good. Will come back to try their other dishes.

    Went in while in town on business trip--place looked nice, nice atmosphere, friendly service. Food was a bit underwhelming--I ordered a "seasonal special"--the Five Spice BBQ pork ribs. The ribs were tender but chewy at the same time--probably needed to be braised longer--definitely gave the ol' jaw muscles a workout. The seasoning was not what I expected--I expected a strong, complex 5-spice flavor with a bit of smokiness, but instead just got a sweet, candied flavor with only a hint of 5-spice. The ribs were outshone by the side of fried rice and Asian salad, which both tasted fresh and delicious. The fried onion straws were fried onion straws, nothing surprising. Would not recommend the ribs but other entrees may be better.

    My mother and I go there weekly. Love the half price apps!! Food is generally great... We specifically ask for the server Gianna... She is wonderful & knowledgeable on all their dishes & specials! Super friendly too! If she is not there we are disappointed, never have to look for her for a refill- she makes that place what it is!

  • Britt C.

    Oh yes it's ladies night and the feeling's right! Monday night is ladies night. $5 specialty martinis....I'm in. Also 1/2 of specialty maki rolls. Done and done. Get the Jun roll, it was amazing, key notes: asparagus, jalapeno, avocado, spicy tuna. Bomb. Do it. I also had the Poppa's Choice roll, which was good, key notes: spicy tuna and mango. Still good, but that mango is really noticeable, and I didn't feel it necessarily meshed well with their particular spicy tuna. My friend and I also split the tuna and avocado poke appetizer which I wasn't overly excited for when we were ordering, especially since we were getting all of the rolls for 1/2 off and the appetizer wasn't.....but I was so glad my friend suggested it. Super delish. It comes on a little tortilla chip, or "crisp" as my friend called it. You should probably try it. They put a lil sriracha in there, which is probably a huge reason why I liked it. Kinda. Maybe. It was awesome.

    Not sure what Linda L. Considers horrible employees but she can't be talking about anyone at Wok n Fire. The food is always delicious and the service has never been anything less than courteous and efficient. I didn't care for a dish, a bit too hot for my liking and my waitress, Jeana..... Linda if you're going to complain about someone at least get your information correct. Was more than happy to take it back and have a new, less spicy dish made for me. There are always going to be complainers, and you're never going to please them. Cudos to all the employees. My family and friends will be back.

    So I came in with my family, group of 10, we know it's going to be a long wait but the front guy was so rude. He couldn't even accommodate us anywhere especially when there's empty seats! We end up not eating there. He basically turn down good business. Will not recommend this place especially if you trying to go as a group.

    I had not been here in a long time but I feel like this place has gone downhill a bit. I walked in to meet a friend and told the host that. She said I could look around. I didn't see my friend so I texted her. She came up to the front and told me she told the host and the server that she was waiting for someone. They were not busy either. Food: We ordered the Tuna Poke because it used to be my favorite. I think they changed the recipe or something because it was nothing like how I remembered it. It was still spicy but there was barely any avocado or flavoring to it at all really. The sushi we got was........just poor. The salmon that was used in the nigiri and rolls was very bad quality. The Philly Roll was super generic with no avocado or anything else in it and the mayo on the Mama's Roll tasted weird. Honestly, I was a little nervous after the meal that I might get sick. Thankfully I didn't, but you should never walk away from a sushi meal worrying about that. Our server was just ok. Not bad, not exceptional. I don't know that I will ever go back after the food being that bad. :(

    Been here a couple of times. The food is pretty good and the service was speedy for a busy dinner hour. Got the spring rolls and my sister and I ended up sharing a couple of sushi rolls. Highly recommend the Yujin Roll. Price wise it is a little expensive but for special occasions it's worth it.

    Finally had the guts to try this place after so many times of just passing by it. Went there for dinner with the family. Impressed by the ambience from the get go. Waiter was attentive but not overly suffocating. Service was fast and sushi was impressive. I ordered Pad Thai and I would say, I have tasted better. Same with my husband's chicken dish. Will probably stick to sushi and appetizers next time we drop by.

    Horrible- worst sushi I ever tried, rice too sticky and mokdy fish tgat was too salty. Like gas station sushi, literally. Got sick immediately and threw up in their bathroom! Just the quality worse than I can imagine when the decor looked nice. I've had sushi everywhere, suburbs and city, this was spoiled and nasty tasting. We chose it because located close to the club we were celebrating my birthday at, but too bad i got food poisoning. Worst birthday dinner ever! DO NOT GO! WHOLE FOODS HAS BETTER SUSHI EVEN. THIS IS A CHEAP CHINESE PLACE THAT DOeS Not KNOW HOW TO MAKE SUSHI. Each Roll Coming Out Was worse And worse! Edit

    I came here with 2 friends. We ordered the crab rangoon for an appetizer and it was delicious. I ordered sushi, and my other friends ordered sushi and the Mongolian plate. The sushi was okay.... Wouldn't order again but the Mongolian plate was really good. I would go back here and order a plate of food rather than sushi.

    "Meh. I've experienced better" is the perfect description for this place. Service is fair. The prices are about 25% overly expensive. The decor is nice. The parking can be cramped depending on when you get there. Bottom line this is not a good value. The food isnt special.

    The noodle dishes are a solid "OK". Not awesome, but definitely OK. The steak salad is pretty poor. Tastes like iceberg lettuce and dried pieces of beef. The sushi is my favorite, BUT I wish they had more speciality roles without tempura shrimp. I feel as though nearly every one of their roles comes with this included. If they had more variety, their sushi would be 4 star.

    Everything is great from the sushi to the pad thai! I have never tried anything that I did not love! It is a little pricey but definitely worth it, portions are huge. I dine here at least once a week to get my woknfire fix in. Everytime I come in the service is excellent! This place is definitely worth a try!!! You will probably be hooked just like I am!!!

    Tried to eat-in this time. What a mistake! I sat for what seemed like an eternity waiting for...everything. First, my food and then a box and then the check. You'd think a business open for lunch would understand that people have limited time on their lunch break. I was in there for 45 minutes and arrived late back to work because my waiter was incompetent.

    Came here on Saturday night. Had decent service and the sushi appetizer and food came out quickly. We split a wok tossed entree and it was okay... I had a few chewy pieces of chicken in mine. The drinks are great, had a mango margarita that was very tasty. Bill was pretty expensive and I feel I paid too much for what I received. This is a good "once in a blue moon" place.

    This is my favorite wok-n-fire, my husband and I have been going there for years. You have to try the Asian Coleslaw. Happy Hour has gotten super popular, so it is busy during that time! The, Blushing Geisha, is my favorite drink- love it!

  • Adam R.

    Second time here, and likely the last. Wife bought a groupon, so we cashed it in a few days ago. While her food experience was ok, mine was terrible. We ordered Edamame as a starter, which I would think is pretty hard to screw up. It was overcooked, and oiled/buttered for some reason. Grease on edamame is totally uncalled for.. why not just keep it simple? We also ordered the pot stickers for my daughter. They were edible, but very dry and bland. I ordered the seared "Ahi tuna", which was probably the worst I've ever tasted. It was overdone, and therefore more like tuna steak than Ahi. I could have lived with that, but there were also large areas of tendon or something, indicating a very cheap cut of fish. My dish came with fried rice which wasn't bad, and steamed broccoli. My wife had kung pow shrimp which she liked. Service - our server was slow and clueless. The manager came by regarding my tuna, and ended up taking it off the bill, but didn't apologize or show particular concern. Won't be going back by choice any time soon.

    I wanted sushi and my first choice restaurant was closed for my late lunch time so I decided to give this place a try. The bartender was nice and was quick to get my drink and miso. Also, he let me order the sushi lunch special even though it was just past the time frame. The miso was good, though it had too much chunk to it for my preferences. The sushi was just OK. The maki rolls I ordered were terrible!. There was no flavor, barely any fish and overkilled with mushy rice. Seriously, the worst maki I have ever had. Not worth the cost. Won't be visiting again any time soon.

  • Misty S.

    FOOD: Crispy Calamari - Nicely battered and tender. They were fresh and didn't turn into a piece of gum in my mouth. Tom Yum Goong soup - The broth was tasty and went well with the shrimps. The large slices of onion threw me off since this soup is normally made without onions, but they were good. Spider Roll - It wasn't as crispy as I would like and the sauce is too sweet. I give it an A for presentation, though. Bangkok Feast with chicken - Eh...it was very Americanized and too oily. There were carrots, bean sprouts, red and green peppers (ew), pea pods, green onion, mushrooms, water chestnuts and tofu in a curry sauce. I wouldn't order it again. SERVICE: Excellent! I couldn't make it to the restaurant until 9 on a weeknight (they close at 9:30p) and they were more than happy to serve us. Apparently, the sushi chef leaves exactly at 9:30, so you got to place your sushi order accordingly. The one waiter left in the restaurant was charming and attentive. AMBIANCE: Very nice, modern and dimly lit. The booths are as comfortable as the stand alone tables. LEFT OVERS: They gave me those round aluminum containers with a paper top for my left overs. It's such a pain to bend the top every time to close it up and I can't get to my food fast enough. I guess the plastic top ones are worst. LOCATION: Pretty easy to get to, plenty of parking, close to I-355 near Marcus theaters.

    It's the usual big-box atmosphere like what you get at Pei Wei Asian Diner and at PF Chang. But the aromas made the restaurant smell less of a buffet cafeteria and more like some good food was being prepared in the kitchen. Per recommendation from one of my friends, I ordered Schezuan tilapia. Served with brown rice, spinach, and in a Schezuan sauce with red peppers, onions, broccoli, and mushrooms, lunch had a wow factor that left me weak in the knees. Because it was lunch and it was quick, I didn't get around to sampling more from the menu. I shall have to return and perhaps I'll be able to give at least 4 stars. My first visit warrants a return.

    I've been to Wok 'n Fire a couple of times now, and haven't had a full blown "wow" experience. The food is good - but slightly overpriced, which is typically a huge turn off for me. Not that I have a problem paying for good food...I have a problem paying for just decent food. ((Example: Teriyaki Steak for $22.95. If I'm going to pay 23 bucks for a steak, it's not going to be at Wok 'n Fire)) However, the menu is huge. You have the option of a variety of Asian appetizers, soups and salads, noodle dishes, stir-fry dishes and sushi. As a non-seafood eater, I was disappointed to see the limited veggie rolls. Avocado or cucumber doesn't really cut it for me. ((boo)). Most recently I gorged myself in a tasty bowl of miso soup and the Chap Chae noodles ((udon noodles with veggies, tofu, and a soy sesame sauce)). Both dishes were good, although the noodles were a little too saucy for my liking. My girl friend had the crab rangoon and the Sesame Chicken. I've had the sesame chicken in the past, and I will say, it's pretty darn good! I'm also a big fan of the Vegetable Egg Rolls. Service lacked some. Our waitress wasn't very attentive, and lacked a little friendliness. Not that I expect to be catered to ((well, some - that's what gratuity is for!)), but I don't like having to hunt someone down to have my water refilled or grab the check. I dig the atmosphere. I love the Asian bistro feel with the contemporary and trendy decor. The restaurant is fairly small, so I can see it getting quite packed during peak dining times. Overall, my experiences have lacked a little something. The food is good, but for the prices I much prefer a Yu's Mandarin or P.F. Changs. I'm just glad my party had a Groupon...it made the experience ((and check)) a little bit lighter.

    Came in here and got seated in the dining area around 8:45. I opened the little red book they have and in there I noticed that lady's night is Wednesday and it ends at 9. Well it took the waitress 20 minutes to come to out table and we asked her at 9:02 if we can do the lady's night special. She told us that the computer systems don't allow to adjust the prices. Bs!!!!! I'm not dumb! She then calls the manager on duty and the manager comes over to tell us that there was a misunderstanding about the lady's night special and she can't do it. First of all if you are a manager introduce yourself first!!! And we were here before the special ended it just took the slow waitress a while to come over. Mind you there is not that many people in this place.

    My Wife and I recently used our groupon for Wok' Fire. We both love sushi very much and were excited try try here. I have to say the place has a nice atmosphere and decor, I just wished that detail carried through to its food. The sushi, by far, is over-priced at first, however I thought the rolls would be large...they werent. In fact the rolls were very tiny. Fortunately we split a noodle dish as well. That was the best thing we had, very fresh and tasty. Overall I have to say I was disjointed in the Sushi..in its size taste and price. From my experience, there are better places out there.

    I had no idea I have a great Sushi restaurant near my house! As usual I purchased a groupon and brought a friend to come enjoy diner with me. Let me say the group deal was great because it was 15 for 30 and you can order 3 specialty Maki rolls for 38 dollars. Some Maki rolls can go up for 18 dollars! So we saved almost twenty dollars more by getting that and using the groupon. I also didn't know they had happy hour on weekdays and all the tradional rolls are half off! I am totally doing that as soon as the weather clears up a bit! Anyway the atmosphere was really nice it had a modern Asian feel and the wooden tables were sheek and clean. We ordered the St. Charles roll which were almost completely fired rolls with I believe crab meat and a spicy mustard sauce. I didn't like them so much it tasted fine but the texture was a no-no for me. My friend adored them however. Next was my our favorite the inky green. It was absoultely amazing, on par with one of the best pieces of sushi I have ever eaten. It was a sushi rolled with avacado and topped with a lightly grilled scallop. I've had scallops before but never likes this. It was not chewy at all but almost melted in your mouth and there was a slight crunch to it because of the tempura bits on it so it wasn't to soft or to crunch. Such an experience. Lastly we ordered the Scorpion which I was dissapointed on because they said the pieces were huge, were they were just more slices of the roll, it wasn't too bad or too good just as we called it "filler" sushi. Overall though I had a wonderful time at Wok'n Fire with it's classy atmosphere, cheap prices and great sushi!

    I really like the atmosphere here! I've been going here for a couple years now for happy hour specials. I'd say this place is better than most of the sushi in the area and they have a wonderful cocktail menu. I also really like that they do groupons so frequently which I don't understand because the food, drinks and appetizers are very good here.

    My husband and I stumbled in during a happy hour only in the bar area and we were excited. We sat for a moment and was approached by our server Lisa who was very hyper verbal. She started out by telling us if u have a groupon.... Etc. My husband said questioningly groupon? She continues to ramble about something we obviously did not have. I stopped her so we could start our order since they were closing in 45 min. She shushed me. She actually shushed me and continued to talk to my husband. Never ever had I been treated with such disrespect. She then left and my husband even asked me if I was upset. I could have spoken to a manger but I was so hurt I'm never going back.

    I've had lunch here a few times and it was okay, nothing great by any means. Had dinner here for the first time last night and it was terrible. I ordered the tilapia and I really do believe they breaded the tail and served it to me. I could not find the fish under all of the breading, peppers and sauce. So I wound up paying approx $25 for rice and peppers. I usually don't complain but I would have if my waiter would have asked how the meal was when he could obviously see I didn't eat it. And to add to that we ordered sushi as an appetizer and they forgot to bring it out. Won't be back!

    It's been a while since I've been here and now I know why. I have to agree with some reviews here, that you spent a lot of money on the decor and music and NOT really on their food and wait staff:( Too bad, I believe in supporting my local businesses, so I hope they are looking into improving soon. We came here on a Friday night around 8pm so here's my Pros/Cons of this place... Pros: There's enough parking in the lot area. We got seated right away for 2 The bathrooms were clean The decor is Pan Asian modern style, cool looking, dark and trendy The music of choice sound like you're in a club fast pace beat The hostess was nice with a smile-after a long day of work it's nice to see that. Our main dishes were pretty big, enough for two to share The stir fried spinach with garlic was pretty good The brown rice well cooked Cons: -Our wait staff was not so attentive, refill for drinks took a long time and the place wasn't too busy. -They didn't have 3 of the cold sake we wanted available -They ran out of grilled asparagus, really? -The wrinkled green beans were ok, but a bit over cooked and one of them didn't have the ends cut off, ick. -The Papa's Choice Spicy Tuna Maki Special-we got 6 small pieces of sushi hardly any tempura flakes and tons of mayo sauce that we couldn't taste the spicy tuna and we LOVE spicy tuna:( -Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass was over cooked (tough and salty) -The chicken pad thai was good, but too much tofu and not enough chicken. I'll have to try the other locations like Elmhurst, maybe it's just this location that needs improvement? If I had to compare this with P.F. Changs as a chain restaurant, then Changs is much better Pan Asian (Oak Brook and Schaumburg). But again, I tried to support my local businesses.

    One night after a long day at work a couple of colleagues and I stopped by Wok 'n Fire. The place wasn't busy and we were seated right away. Layout of this house is split in to two parts. The main and larger area is the dinning room with an array of booths and free-standing tables. Adjacent to dinning room is a long bar where they serve a full range of beers and mixed drinks. There's also a huge wine rack to the side of the bar, although we didn't sample it. After practicing and acquiring enough courage with the chop sticks, I ordered the Szechwan beef, requesting the beef to be cooked well-done. While meal was being cooked, we ordered Sapporo sake, which my co-workers loved, but didn't seem anything special to me. Granted, I more prone towards darker ales, so full disclosure on that point. Our bartender was friendly and attentive. When the meal finally arrived, they didn't cook the beef quite as well as requested. Granted, it wasn't raw either, but when you put in a request for "well done", that's the expectation when your plate arrives. The dish was tasty, although not very large given the price they charge for it. Overall, our entourage enjoyed our time at W n' F. It would be welcome for them to give larger serving sizes or drop the price a bit, plus be attentive to how guests request their meat to be cooked. Nonetheless, the staff was friendly and mood for the place is like a quiet nightclub, which makes for a pleasant although not exceptional dining experience.

    Nope. Not going here again. I've been to this location a few times, usually with or after a bunch of cocktails, and never really noticed the service too much before. I know we have definitely waited on food before, but this last time we went it was TERRIBLE. It was a weekend evening and not too busy, no wait. We had asked for a booth (we're booth snobs) but none were open so we decided just to sit at the bar. We sat at the bar for about 2 or 3 minutes, never being greeted, and not having a menu or drink menu to look at. Finally the server/bartender came up and asked what we wanted to drink- and we asked for a drink menu. After more than enough time to figure out what we wanted to drink, it appeared that our server had no time or attention for us. The host was walking by and we asked if a booth had opened up yet.... SUCCESS!! We walked away from the bar, without the bartender even noticing. As soon as we were seated a server came up, gave us a new drink menu, and we asked for a minute to look it over. Two different drink menus? Ok. We decided on our drinks and waited. Waited. Finally she showed up, and I ordered and then I waited, and waited. Finally got our drink and she disappeared before we could order. Eventually we flagged her down and ordered. Now... let me tell you... I love sushi, but I LOVE LOVE super white tuna, which they have at wok n fire. Normally when I've gone to sushi places, the nigiri comes out first. Well we waited, and waited, and a couple rolls on one plate came out. These weren't specialty rolls and they were falling apart. Not a lot of flavor. Like, soak them in soy and wasabi to get flavor, no flavor. Meh. The next plate were our specialty rolls. MUCH better. Not falling apart and full of flavor. What my boyfriend noticed- those rolls had come from the sushi bar up front, the other rolls from the back kitchen. Things that make you go hm. At this point, our server comes up and says oh you need your tuna! Don't think I forgot little lady- thats the ONLY thing I want right now. So I do that thing I did earlier... WAIT. Finally we get down to the last couple pieces of sushi and I tell my boyfriend to find her. We flag her down, she has no idea why of course, and we tell her we don't want it anymore. No apology for forgetting, no nothing. Just an OK. We had asked for the bill too but apparently she forgot that as well. That was fine because my (sometimes )ever so observant boyfriend noticed people showing their phone to their servers. He said, QUICK LOOK UP A GROUPON! I had found the half off groupon which was nice but we had still talked about speaking with a manager.. of course we never did.. and now I'm takin it to the streets. The streets of Yelp. After I had posted my annoyance on facebook, a few others chimed in about the terrible service here, and my boyfriends family agreed too. So I will def not be goin back.

    I went here for lunch yesterday with one of my girlfriends. We both ordered the wok 'n drop martini, which is their version of a lemon drop. The drink was tasty! For food we shared the Addison Roll, Izzy roll, and Pad Thai with tofu. Everything was delicious, especially the Izzy roll. The service was great. The prices for the rolls are a little bit high, but the presentation and taste was delicious!

    Went here on Saturday night at almost 9. We were greeted warmly and found out that at 9 was happy hour half price sushi and apps in the lounge area. We got the lettuce wraps were so good!!!! It was big enough for a meal. Potstickers were very good ad well. We ended up getting 6 rolls of sushi. It was so fresh and so good. I can't wait to go back on happy hour again.

  • Michele S.

    Not bad, and not great. We ordered the chicken lettuce wraps which were outstanding except for the fact that they gave us a huge chunk of iceberg lettuce that could not be pulled apart for wraps. We ate the filling without the wrap, but man that filling was good. For my entree, I ordered the kung pao noodles with chicken. There were a generous amount of peanuts, noodles and spice, but they seemed to skimp on the veggies and chicken. Not the best dish I've ever eaten by a long shot. I've heard good things about the sushi here, and I think I'll come back sometime to try it. The prices here are average, and I've had better food for less. Still, I'd go here again if I were in the mood for Asian, and in Addison.

  • Mana I.

    This place is good for what it is. The sushi is okay. The nigiri is a bit spendy for what you get. The rolls are good and generous. My favorite is the crazy roll. I tried the pho and it was salty, and not very good. The ahi tuna steak is delicious though. So is the sea bass. The servers are okay. On all three occasions that I've eaten here the service was efficient enough but the servers themselves are not super knowledgable about the various styles of cuisine served here. Thai, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese...take your pick. It would probably be better if they chose one style and just did that very well. Instead they're all over the map and doing everything just alright. The hosts are awesome though. They were friendly, gracious, and helpful on all three visits. Plus they remembered me on my second visit which really impressed me. That's why I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 3. Make reservations for dinner on weekends because this place gets full. They also do take out.

    It's an American-Asian mashup that's decorated nicely, and a cool-looking place (dark lighting, urban colors and vibe) to have a nice dinner if you happen to be in this area. It's also good for business lunches. They run the gamut of Asian food, from Japanese to Thai to Malaysian to Chinese, and does an ok job. Average sushi rolls, nothing to scream about still tasty enough. The rest of the food's also just average, nothing really great. It's a reliable place for takeout, no unpleasant surprises. So. Average urban-y cool decor with average food but definitely upscale for this area. Now how many times did I type "average"? LOL. Seriously, it's one of the nicest restaurants here within a 5 mile radius.

    I live a mile from here and never went, mainly from the negative reviews from Yelp and from friends. Then I bought a Groupon and just went today. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised. I had no issues with the service, it was good. The food was amazing. I had the calamari and lettuce chicken wraps for an appetizer. It was the best calamari I've had except that the dipping sauce seemed to be made from ketchup :-/ I got the Jun Roll and Anti Pasto roll, both very good. My husband and I are excited because now we have a great place to eat close to home.

  • Andrew J.

    Full disclosure: I know a lot of people that work for Wok N Fire and I like them. I will now make this fact irrelevant by my objective review. There are a lot of Asian Restaurants in the suburbs. It is a fact. Some of these locations, like Super China Buffet, will likely make you violently ill. Others, like Thai Garden or Sushi Ya, specialize in their respective cuisines and are amazingly successful. Others still are there to give you an over all package- places like Stir Crazy, P.F. Chang's, Big Bowl, and Wok N Fire. With that in mind, please understand I'm not reviewing Wok N Fire against your favorite little Vietnamese bistro tucked away downtown. I'm comparing WNF with the other restaurants locally in its class. WNF is basically a more compact version of Stir Crazy that switches out the "create your own stir fry" market bar with a sushi bar instead. It's a great trade-off. The ambiance is similar to P.F. Chang's, but the dining area is much smaller, intimate, and quiet enough to carry on a conversation if you're there with a date. The menu is quite similar in style and flavor to Stir Crazy's, with a selection of popular Chinese and Thai dishes in addition to the sushi. There are lots of exceptional dishes you shouldn't miss- the Panang, the Mongolian Beef, the Lettuce Wraps, and the Calamari are only a few. The Rainbow, Dragon and Tiger Roll Maki roll sushi are great too. A lot of reviewers have objected to price, but WNF has about the same price point as Big Bowl or PF Chang's with entrees that run about $11- $15. On Sundays, Maki Rolls and appetizers run half price all day; it's a really fantastic deal! My girlfriend and I had calamari, lettuce wraps, and two glasses of wine last Sunday for under $20. And the service has always been super, especially at the bar. But again, I know people. Will this be the best Asian food you've ever had? Maybe; it depends what you order. But if it isn't, you won't be any more disappointed than you would at Big Bowl or P.F. Chang's- which is to say, you probably won't be tremendously let down at all. It's a nice little location and I'd recommend it to anyone.

  • Nichole C.

    I am strictly speaking about the sushi and drinks here. I've been here several times and each time I have had better service in the bar than in the restaurant. Also, the ONLY time to go here in my opinion is during the happy hour deal where sushi and drinks are half price. Otherwise, Wok 'n Fire is a little on the pricey side considering the size of the rolls (which are tiny). I will say that Wok 'n Fire offers a decent menu that has a pretty good variety and some of their signature rolls are really good; The Fantasy roll is one of my favorites, but it has sriracha so enough said, really. Bottom line: Go there with your friends after work for sushi and drinks, but skip it for dinner.

    This was just okay. They had super fast service, too fast for a weekend night. They dropped our food off moments after ordering. I think if we didn't order as we went along we'd be done with dinner in under 30 minutes! Which is not enough time, in my opinion. Calamari was very good, sushi rolls very small and just okay, nothing special. Next time I would try their other dishes, skip the sushi and rolls.

    Greeted by a nice host and led to our choice of seating. That is the best part of the night. No one came by for at least 15 minutes to let us know why we were being ignored. "your server is really busy tonight" I wanted to say "well, what are you doing right now, grab us some drinks" He walked away only to return a few moments later (guess he read my mind "I'll be taking care of you tonight since he's so busy" Ok, this isn't the hottest place in town and people were NOT lined up to get in here. It wasn't even near being a full house. Why was he being so dramatic about how busy it was? I would hate to see their performance on an actual busy night. We got drinks (martini with sparkling sake is pretty good), but the promise of water lingered. Food came out after a longer than normal wait time and our server didn't return until much much later. Food is average and dare I say not much better than your local foodcourt at the mall. Waved down a gentleman to try to see about our waiter and he holds out his hand and yells out " someone will be with you". When he walks by again I call him over and ask if he is the manager. Unfortunately, he is. I tell him how terrible our service has been and he launches into this full speech about how someone called off and they are really busy. Meanwhile I hear crickets in this place....is this busy?! I want to scream at this point! My blood is boiling and I feel myself getting angry...he apparently senses danger and backs away with an "I'll see what I can do" I'll see what I can do =50% discount I would like to say I was satisfied after that but the nonchalant attitude of the manager , crappy service and mediocre food is barely worth one star. Advice: Keep the fires in the kitchen! what does that mean? it means that like any good business you don't necessarily want customers knowing that you're falling apart at the seams.

    I came here for some take out order, service was ok, nothing out of this world. The hostess seem to have gotten upset when we said we were going to order take-out and then unwillingly walked us over to the take-out counter. They still get 3-star rating because the sushi was pretty good. Their specialty rolls were great.

    I stumbled upon this place during my first week of work in a new location (a month ago). At lunch the place was packed. Which to me was a good sign. I ordered a lunch special - very reasonable and very tasty - Pad Thai. Service was great, noise level was okay. The biggest complaint I have is that the place is too dark for lunch. They keep the blinds closed and it bothers me. I went back about a week later for happy hour. That was fantastic. Half price martini's and half price sushi. The bar area was nicer to me, than the restaurant. Go figure.

  • Aaron W.

    Wok 'n Fire is a pan-asian (already a star down) restaurant that puts your money into its fancy decor and club-like music, rather than into your food. Boo. Let's start with entree prices. The prices here are horrendous for what you get. I ordered the kung pao chicken stir-fry, and it was no better than any hole-in-the wall place around here. Here's the catch, the modestly sized plate was priced at 13 bucks. If you want the stir-fry, please visit Mapo Restaurant down on Naperville for bigger portions that you can share family style, and much better food. For drinks we had the Morimoto Soba Ale (a brew by Rogue), which was surprisingly good with plenty of hops. In addition we also had a bottle of Haiku Tokubetsu Junmai, which is definitely one of the safer sakes on the menu. The drink menu pushes the TYKU Junmai (with a half-page of bs tasting notes) for $80. If you want sake take that $80, go up to Mitsuwa Supermarket up in Schaumburg, and buy a Kubota Hekiju. The food was pretty bad as well. the spring rolls skins were under-steamed resulting in a unpleasant taste. My main course was boring, and served with undercooked rice. I know people enjoy the decor of the place, and that can be one reason why it was packed, but I wonder: does the general public actually know the difference between good and bad food? Or does Marketing determine everything? I thought I was gracious, 2 stars. ps. I always see comments on yelp exclaiming the freshness of the fish. I'm not sure how reviewers can actually ascertain the freshness of the fish when it is hacked into pieces and stuff into a roll with _______ (fill in favorite roll ingredients here) and ______ (fill in favorite spicy mayo sauce here). Please, one look at their fish cabinets and I can tell you that the fish is not very fresh at all.

    The ladies at my job orders from this place every Thursday. I normally pass because I bring my lunch but I have had lunch delivered from Wok 'n Fire for the second time today (i'm actually eating right now). On my first try, I had some crispy chicken with this mango sauce. it was okay. At first, I was super hungry so I dug into it. About 20 minutes later, I went back to it and didn't like my food as much. It could have been because I was actually hungry the first time but I thought that the chicken was dry. Today, I have the Teriyaki Chicken and I love it! Perfect grilled chicken with vegetables and rice! The only thing I would suggest is to not use all the sauce that is given. I actually used to much but thats okay. I think I have found my once a week lunch take out...on Thursdays of course!

    Solid Asian food in a classy environment, akin to PF Changs. This is a popular date spot and also attracts large groups for parties and birthdays. They have alcoholic drinks, too.

    Great atmosphere and service. We ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer was very light and tasty. I ordered a Dragon roll, was good but was missing avocado. Was not super impressed with the sushi roll, but would try this place again. Will try soup on my next visit.

    Stopped up last night to enjoy the half price appetizers, we tried several things but a few were outstanding. 1. Tuna and Avocado Poke - Wow! The Tuna was fresh as were the avocados and they were served on a crispy tostada like shell with an amazing sauce. 2. The chicken lettuce wraps--great meat and sauce, more attention could be paid to the lettuce as it wasn't really suitable. Overall, we had great food and at value pricing.

    I went to this place for dinner with my boyfriend. We had edamame as an appetizer- it was great, nothing outstanding about edamame. I ordered cucumber sushi and sesame chicken- both which were delicious... then again, I'm not a big sushi person (obviously, since I ordered cucumber and rice wrapped in seaweed), so I can't really judge the sushi. The sesame chicken was absolutely delicious- probably one of the best Japanese dishes I've had for a while. My boyfriend ordered some sort of spicy scallops with noodles. While it was very tasty, there wasn't many scallops for the price he paid. We closed the evening with a coffee and hot tea. In general, service was good but not outstanding. Either way, because of my experience with the great food, I will definitely be recommending this place to friends.

    In my experience, when you go to a sushi bar, you go to the bar. If you go to an Oriental restauraunt, you are seated. Nearly all of the waitstaff is not Asian. The only time I go here is to sit at the bar/ sushi bar or get take out. DO NOT GET THE HONG KONG calamari. Every time I get exactly what I expect. I am definetilly not pretentious so good food is just that. The funny thing is I learnt last time I was there that the sushi chef wasn't Japanese but rather something else, but the Latino chef spoke Japanese. Weird. Their selection of meat is above average of any Oriental cuisine in the area, their preperation is excellent- no gummy bits of chicken or steak :) You must have their Miso Shiru. You let me run this place it would be a hotspot in all the midwest.

    I have been to this restaurant numerous times and highly recommend it. They use soy paper in the sushi, upon request. They have an awesome Pho Bowl. They don't always have it on the menu, but they usually make it for me special. The service has been good every time.

    Underwhelming. If you are used to Asian food without authentic flavors, spices (ie. nothing more than teriyaki, soy, etc.), you just may find yourself satisfied by the cuisine here. I, however, was incredibly underwhelmed. We had the crab cake hand roll appetizer, which was the best thing I tasted all evening. My entree was the kung pao noodles with shrimp, which was one of the most underwhelming renditions of kung pao I've ever had. I was hesitant to order sushi, which is what I really wanted, but I was thinking it'd be underwhelming based on the type of restaurant this is. In hindsight, I may have been better off with the sushi, though it seemed overpriced. Also, the lighting was poor - there were no lights on or above our booth. Very dark. Similar to Big Bowl, but Big Bowl is actually tasty and craveable. Again, sorely underwhelming.

    Still love the food here but the service has really gone down hill over the past year or so. I think I can find another place where the sushi is just as good and the waiters actually come to your table. Went there this weekend and the waiter came to our table twice...once to take our order, once to bring us the check. Plus the hostesses were rude and we actually had to find our own silverware. Sorry Wok n' Fire, you just lost a once loyal customer.. Update...the "manager" sent me an email using really poor english and asking if I'd like a gift certificate to make up for my bad experience. I agreed as long as I didn't have to 1) go back to that location and 2) could use it for carryout..she agreed. 1 month later I have yet to receive it.

    Great pho, very good satay, and excellent pad thai. Arrived at 3pm and only a few other folks in the place at the time. Server was attentive, appetizers were spaced out evenly for us to enjoy before our entrees. Definitely coming back.

    I've been here a few times lately, with very similar experiences. The food is very decent, on par as a competitor to P.F. Chang's, and the sushi is remarkable considering this is suburban Addison. However, it doesn't matter if it's nearly empty or somewhat full, service is always an issue. I'm not expecting anything top-class, but five minutes spent trying to catch a server's eye for my check when I have a cleared table and a finished beer feels dumb. I'll probably be back, however, as the half-off happy hour maki rolls are an absurdly good deal.

    Love the place, the seaweed salad is fantastic & the red thai curry with tofu is great . One of the few places I a vegererian can dine with my carnavore friends and still eat a good meal instead of just a salad.

    I've experienced awful food here before, and I've experienced sub-par food here but with underwhelming service. I love authentic asian food, but I'm down with going to a chain that may be more fusion inspired, which is what Wok 'N Fire is. If you love to eat more than your daily required sodium level in one sitting, then you'll love their food. On my second to last visit, I ordered the salmon and it was so saturated in sweet and salty sauce that it no longer tasted like fish anymore. It was actually disgusting, and I am often very lenient as far as food expectations go. I don't EXPECT to walk into Wok 'N Fire and be delivered a decadent dish, but I do expect something decent. The fish was NOT that. However, this past week I went with my mother. She ordered the beef tenderloin skewers as an appetizer to have with her bowl of Tom Yum Goong. I gotta hand it to Wok, they always deliver on their soup. It's the one thing we ALWAYS get because we know we wont be disappointed. The spices are perfect, there is a subtle lemon/lime tang to it, and the shrimp tastes on point. She said her beef appetizer was good as well. It was a gracious serving (probably could have served 3 people) and the meat was cooked well. We also ordered the Chicken Tandoori Wraps as an appetizer as well, which were one of the specials. I was pleasantly surprised. The dough used for the wrap tasted of buttery & flaky goodness, and the chicken was seasoned well and came with a large portion of cabbage/pepper doused in a light dressing. I highly recommend it. I also had the Red Dragon Roll. The spicy tuna on top was SO salty, I had to wipe it off the roll with my fork. The filling was okay, but the tempura shrimp tasted...old? It tasted like the shrimp had been fried in the tempura batter hours ago. The actual IDEA of the Red Dragon roll is spectacular, but the execution was not. On top of it, you can only get 1/2 the sushi during happy hour if you sit at the bar. This is not the case at the Elmhurst location, but your server actually TELLING you about the Happy Hour deal is another story. And to top it off, the place was virtually empty and it still took a while for someone to greet us and seat us. The ambiance was not especially welcoming.

    I hit this place once in a while just for a change. The menu has evolved over time, I used to like it better when there was more Thai choices. Sushi is ok, and the sashimi cuts are decent. Service is a bit slow, but usually it is crowded so it comes with the territory. Food has always been fresh and good.

    When I spend $80 on sushi for two in the suburbs, I expect to be blown away by flavors and freshness. Wok 'n Fire instead serves up warm boredom. The maki ingredients sound interesting, but the food itself falls short of excellent. Everything feels warm, loose and bland. We tried: Spicy California roll: Where's the spicy? Mamma's roll: The best of the bunch, but seriously overpriced Mexico roll: Two kinds of tuna, plus jalapeno and cilantro, sounded great. It was just ... bad. Two things Wok 'n Fire does well: hand rolls and dessert. Ask the chef what specialty hand rolls are available. They won't be listed on the menu. As for dessert, the sesame banana fritters are pretty outstanding.

    First off, the place isn't that cheap. I found this randomly when I failed to make reservations anywhere for Valentine's Day. Of course, I fibbed and told the girlfriend I made sushi reservations. OH CRAP?!?! A quick Google sent us to Wok 'N Fire. The atmosphere feels a little chain-y at first. My girlfriend and I ordered a random bunch of Sushi rolls. I've never had a bad roll here, but we were blown away (and for $17 we should be) by the Winter Dragon roll. Honestly, outside of San Francisco this is my favorite sushi place. Their "hot" entrees are great as well. I've had seven or so dishes and my favorite is the Sesame Chicken which comes with mangoes on it. Also, the double pan friend noodles are terrific as well. Their fried banana desert is incredible, but I've only been hungry enough to order it twice. Expect a $60 - $80 tab for two people if you plan to eat a solid mean.

    Today was my second time at Wok 'n Fire. Me and hubby had a very good experience the first time. The place looks new and clean, very nice ambience. Restroom was clean too! ( I have this notion, that restroom cleanliness reflects kitchen cleanliness,,) Price is very reasonable for the serving size. Food is very good. We came back today for the calamari. It was very delicious the first time. Its even better today because its half off during happy hour. So we had 2 orders of calamari for the price of 1. The calamari was crunchy and yet soft when u chew it. The sauce was different from any typical asian flavor. The rolls, sushi were were good too. The servers were very good at their job- nice friendly, attentive. They serve food fast too..And yes Im going back again for more calamari and sushi, maki rolls and sashimi..!

    I did not care for this place at all. I thought the sushi was overpriced, waitstaff were pretentious assholes, and the quality of our meals was subpar. Inside was brown and lime green decor, with hints of Asian accents. I think they tried too hard to make it look "cool", but not enough time on their menu. Their non-sushi offerings are slim, and the teriyaki chicken was gross. We asked our waiter for suggestions on what to get, based on other likes/dislikes. He had none. I've never been to a sushi place without some sort of "sampler platter" except this place. We asked, and he said we could order several different things. Thanks for the clever tip.

    Yum yum yummy yum yum. If I wasn't a sushi addict before, this place has made me into one. And it's all of 5 minutes from my house, so I'm ordering from there at least twice a week. And I've tried a lot of suburban sushi places. If I don't have the option to get to my favorite city sushi spots, WoknFire always fulfills my sushi craving. And it's fresh ingredients really makes it stand out from all the other local spots. I have yet to be disappointed with anything I've ordered from there. And no worries non sushi eaters... there are plenty of options for you like chicken, beef, and vegetable dishes. Soups, salads, and plenty of appetizers to pick from. Just some basic info...... Outstanding Pan Asian cuisine from Malaysia, China, Korea, Viet Nam, Thailand and Japan. Creative soups, salads, and sauts. Specially blended Coffees and Imported Asia beers and wines. Experienced chefs cooking in a wok utilizing fire to accentuate a visual and a tasteful experience. All food prepared fresh daily, using only the freshest and highest quality ingredients. Warm, comfortable and sophisticated environment. Outdoor seating available. Upbeat/high energy and fun ambiance. A truly unique dining experience unequaled anywhere! A few of my favs.... Crazy roll Rainbow roll Spider roll Boston roll Tempura roll So eat there, order out, just do whatever you feel like. Just eat there! And I'm sure you'll see me waiting at the bar for my takeout order at some point.

    Not bad. I found the maki rolls and veggie noodle dish to be better then average. I liked the decoration and atmosphere - we had a really private and spacious booth. We split a very affordable, and decent, bottle of wine as well as the banana dessert which was very good. Overall, nothing incredibly special, but good. I would definitely come back if in the area and looking for a solid Asian meal.

    DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Ordered take out Mongolian beef and orange peel with scallops paid $36.00.....when I got back and opened up the containers there was barely any food in them. Really???? i have had a "lean cuisine" with more food in them. So disappointed!!!! And the bad thing about it is.....that I'm still hungry!!!

    I did lunch here a lot when I worked in the area. Not a sushi afficianado, but definitely a fan of their spicy tuna - the wok n roll was my favorite!! Never ate anything other than the maki. Nice environment and with a g.c. from restaurant.com the pricier items don't seem like such a big deal!

    I'm sorry I went here with any expectations at all which may be the reason for the 2 stars. The prices were downtown prices for the sushi and fell way short of the value/quality mark. My friend had the chinese style food and it was ok but not worth my ride since I am not a local. The menu is a hodgepodge of asian cuisines and that I believe in places like this that they can do an passable job of any style but never excel at any one. My advice is that if you have to go here then stick to the chinese which is harder to mess up and if you want sushi then go downtown or to mount prospect, which has a japanese community and has better options.

    Sorry, but I am not a fan of this place, at least not for sushi. Yes, the decor is sleek and trendy but in a kind of unnatural TGI Asia kind of way. The sushi here, particularly the rolls, all kind of tasted the same and not like real sushi. Better sushi is available down the road at Abashiri on Lake Street. I didn't try the chinese food so I can't comment on the wok part of wok 'n fire, but I would guess this is probably a great place to have drinks with friends, try to have a slick night out for something different in these parts or to ease into sushi. Kudos to Wok 'n Fire for trying; God knows this area needs more non-chain restaurants, but the sushi just doesn't live up to the look, feel and prices.

    I still consider myself a sushi rookie , but I really liked this place. I went here with my wife , who is not a sushi lover. The crab rangoon was probably the best I've had. She ordered the Mongolian beef and loved it. I ordered the chefs nightly special sashimi , it consisted of squid, salmon,tuna, and octopus among others. I liked what I usually like but all was fresh and tasty. To cover my bases , I got the spicy tuna roll , which I loved. The ambiance here was really nice , very trendy for a suburban strip mall in the middle of nowhere. The only thing keeping me from frequenting this place is the price. It was really pricey for what you got. If my wife absolutely loved it , I would do this place with her on special occasions. But to hit up alone for no good reason , you can drop some serious coin . If you got the scratch , it is a good place, If you really love sushi in a trendy surrounding , treat yourself. ... First time back in over a year , Rangoon isn't as good as I remembered , still ok. The fried calamari was good , not great , it was tender but all the breading was falling off. The miso soup was good , as good as any other place , nothing standout. I got the tiger roll , ordered it with spicy sauce and it was great. Son got the tuna roll , he ate it all so I have to assume it was good. The spicy tuna roll was a bit spicy for my son , but I really liked it , very good , one of the best. The wife ordered the pepper steak , she liked it alot , I thought it was good. The steak fried rice was some of the best I've tasted. My main gripe is still the price , but every once in a while why not treat yourself.

    We were out in Glendale Hts/Addison/Bloomingdale area for some reason which escapes me & were looking for a place to eat. My husband's buddy suggested Rooster's, a typical sporty grill kind of place we had tried before & really didn't find that extraordinary so we begged him for another option & he came up with Wok 'n Fire. It's kind of pan asian, lots of noodles, a sushi bar, chinese, thai, japanese dishes. Lots of do it yourself options-pick your meat, your sauce etc. We started with drinks and appetizers while we waited for friends. Love the ginger ale, don't miss it, it's home made and spicy. Have it with the pomegranate liqueur. All the food sent me into paroxysms of pleasure, it's that good. We had chicken satay w/ peanut sauce and a calamari appetizer in a garlicky broth w/ spinach. I'm not one for tentacles and suction cups on my food, but the broth was to die for so I ate a lot of bread soaked in that garlic heaven. I can't remember the name of my entree, Pad something...big thick thai rice noodles in some kind of sauce with beef and broccoli raab? Again, the sauce...just give me a pot of the sauce and a spoon and I'll die happy. It all seemed a little pricey, $15-$20 an entree but maybe I was in a cheap mood. Loved the giant abacus separating the bar from the dining area. Strip mall parking, not hard to find a spot.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
