“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Really enjoy this place. Golden shrimp is fabulous“

“Always fresh, always delicious. Excellent drinks, even better food“

“My family had Mongolian beef with udon noodle, Crispy chicken rice, Signature beef udon stew. The food is of big portions, and broccolis & beef are very fresh, and of high quality. They have happy hour every day where main course is $10, small dish $5.0, handcrafted beverages are $3.0

Kid-friendliness: Many interesting asian toys are on display, have children's movie running on 2 TVs, great cultural exposure.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Even though we arrived 20 minutes passed our reservation time “snowing” the gentleman in the front desk was nice and took down our name. The place was amazing and the atmosphere was relaxing and soothing. Even though it was dinner rush hour in Valentine's Day the staff was really nice and professional when it came down to seating us and taking our order. We would definitely be back again.“

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