“Amazing food! Friendly VIP service!!! I highly recommend Sushi Cafe 🍱 🍣 Delicious!!! “Sushi makes everything better!!!” If you know, you know! #sushicafe #greatfood #highlyrecommended“

“Our waiter and the rest of the staff were awesome“

“Ive been to 2 other Chicago Ramen spots and this had the best service and atmosphere by far.

I tried the king of sea tsukemen. As its own thing it was just ok, not bad, not amazing.

I was really hoping for a fishy pork tsukemen (tonkatsu gyokai?) and what I got wasn't that. I wouldn't order it again and its unfortunate that this location doesn't do their normal menu because I would be back at this convenient location so often for their normal tsukemen. (Or gyokai, but I can dream)

Hopefully they'll move this menu to one of their northern locations where there are more nearby options!“

“I ordered chicken & filet combo. Filet was very good, chicken tasted good but was very dry and overcooked. Quality of veggies were good, I just wish there’s more of it. Was also hoping there’s more with the fried rice like onions, carrots, peas, maybe even scrambled eggs. Lastly, it’s missing yum yum sauce and soup. Can’t have hibachi without those two!“

“What a great restaurant! Came here to celebrate Father’s Day last night and had to write a review. The appetizer menu was extensive and tempting so we got a lot :). All were good with notable mentions to the chicken wings, takoyaki, fried oysters, sesame balls, and chicken buns. The ramen was so good with rich broth and fresh ingredients, you can tell this was lovingly prepared. Service was friendly and inviting, I knew it was going to be good when they brought my beer in a frosted mug :). Thank you for helping us properly celebrate the best Father a guy could ask for, my Dad’s face says it all. Check this place out, you won’t be disappointed. We’ll be back!“

“Food was awesome and staff was very friendly“

“Been here several times with my family. Some of the nicest owners and servers I have ever encountered. Sushi, salad, soup, kids meals are excellent and reasonably priced. Well worth the wait.“

“Top tier food quality & customer service! I’ve been here a couple times and they never disappoint. Consistancy in both taste & service. Definitely recommend trying their food if you’re in the area!“

“This unassuming little place was quite the surprise! Looking for something new, our first trip here did not disappoint. Attentive service, good selection of items to choose from, and great flavors. What really put things over the top was the nice little extra attention to detail. The sushi rolls were fresh, the Gyoza was awesome, the sauce that came with the Katsu Chicken was amazing - and even the shredded cabbage on the side was great! We are already planning our next visit.“

“Really enjoy this place. Golden shrimp is fabulous“

“Will definitely be going back. Food was amazing staff was fantastic. Menu was very well laid out. 5-5 stars“

“I went to Wok n Fire for my first time tonight and got to experience it a little differently with it being the first day you are able to dine indoors since COVID. Our waitress, Stacey was absolutely amazing! She gave personal recommendations and even traded out my girlfriends wine that she didn’t like. Great food and delicious!“

“The ramen hit the spot. The tempura, however, felt like it came from a box rather than being made fresh. My main gripe was the salad—some of the leaves were wilted and not at all crisp, and I'm wondering if it was thoroughly washed. Overall, the flavors were solid, but I was expecting higher-quality ingredients.“

“One of the best places to eat on earth! Flavors are amazing. Salad dressing is the best. Spicy Garlic Shrimp - amazing! The house made Teriyaki is the best I ever had! Such a great place! Highly recommend. :)“

“Awesome tasting food snd smoothies!!! Great service too! Large portions, and ready fast! But most of all I love the taste. Can’t wait to have more!“

“Was fortunate to sample some test food and it was great will be back On opening day five stars“

“I was not going to go here after my previous experience a year ago (that bad) but decided to order on a whim. Best food we have had at any Wok N Fire location for a long shot. Keep the food consistent like tonight and you will have a repeat customer“
