Really solid spot! I'm not sure why it took me five years to give this place a try, but they do really good thai and have solid sushi. They know what they're doing and their prices are reasonable. They have a nice online ordering platform and it's easy to get in and get out safely. It's going to be on our regular rotation now that we finally gave it a try.

I eat here a lot since I work nearby. I love how the service is always fantastic and they keep the place well organized at all times. Rates are reasonable and they serve sizeable portions.

last night was our first time we went to this restaurant. But It is surely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the attentive service, with the great dishes and booze and with the honest pay. We will no doubt return there soon.

I love that DoWize is in downtown the very quaint but small and bustling Wilmette. The setting is relaxed, nicely designed and doesn't feel like it's take-out foodish even though they offer that and delivery. They have good quality ingredients that are well flavored. I think we've liked everything we've had here. Of note are Orange Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken. They make it family friendly too, and even offer some kid faves like mac-n-cheese in case your kiddo is not quite into Mandarin or Sushi today. Compared to most Chinese we've had, the portions are smaller and prices about a dollar higher. When ordering in, it doesn't seem worth it to me, but if doing the whole downtown dinner out thing, it's worth it.

Actually horrified after my experience of this place. I am convinced I was poisoned here and I wish I had the pictures to prove it but unfortunately in order to get my refund I had to give back the sushi that I ordered. Here's a condensed version of the horrific experience: My friends and I decided to pick up sushi from here. With this being my first time ordering from this place I kept it simple with a California roll, a sweet potato roll and a miso soup. My friend also ordered a California roll. The sweet potato roll was fine and then I bit into the California roll. I KID YOU NOT it tasted as if someone had poured hand sanitizer and chemicals all over my sushi. I spit it out immediately and started freaking out and asked my friend who also ordered a California roll to taste mine. She said hers was good and then took one bite of my roll (from the opposite side of the container just to be sure it was the whole roll) and she spit it out too and screamed because it tasted like HAND SANITIZER or bleach or whatever chemicals taste like, that's what my sushi was soaked in. I brought my sushi back and asked for a refund, I even told the lady working at the register that I understand that she does not work in the kitchen, but that I would like some sort of explanation as to how my sushi could have tasted like this???? She was dismissive and rude and ignored me and gave me my receipt. I asked her again in the nicest way possible if she had talked to the kitchen staff and she said "We don't cook with chemicals," and walked away. I then asked her if she wanted to try my sushi for herself to see but of course she refused that offer.Anyways avoid this place at all costs. I wish I still had the sushi so I could see exactly what happened with my food. I was so anxious the entire night because I truly thought I was poisoned it was that apparent of a chemical taste. Truly concerned as to how this could have happened and why nobody else seemed to care about what happened to my food!

I celebrated my graduation this evening in this great place. happy to tell that it was a marvelous evening and the venue was indeed one of the reasons for that outstanding celebration. The stuff collaborated in a lovely style, the cooking was yummy and my guests were so glad. We shall surely return for more celebrations. thanks very much.

Food tastes good but way overpriced given the VERY little meat in their dishes. I used to love their beef and broccoli, but the dish is 4/5 broccoli and 1/5 beef (which equates to 4 small pieces of beef). If they are running out of beef they should inform the customer so they can choose some other protein instaed of charging full price for poor servings.

I yet to go here physically but this is a favorite of mine with regards to delivery/take out. They make the best sweet potato rolls and easily accommodate to my dietary needs. The hosts answering the phones are very helpful and they were able to reschedule my mistake to deliver at a different time. Absolutely amazing service and food, would recommend to any sushi lover.

I love this place!! I have been going here ever since I was once invited by a friend over three years ago. Ever since I go back at least once a month if not more. The orange chicken, the spicy beef salad, and the fried rice are all exceptional. There is always something new to try and the staff is exceptional. They are very sweet and welcoming and it does not take very long for the food to come at all. I love take out and dining in and I highly recommend this place to you! Enjoy!

I meet friends in this lovely place from time to time! This is my favorite spot to pass a nice evening. I go there routinely. The food is excellent, the team is polite and the cost is reasonable. I like being in this restaurant for a tasty supper.

I really love the dishes and customer service, great area right next to my residence. The workers are always very nice. I highly recommend this place.

Worst food we ever had. Ordered take out, PadThai, Orange Chick, Spicy beef salad which literally we're inedible. Sushi-ebi, tuna and unagi were limp tasteless and way below Jewel quality. Crab ragoons were frozen premade. $70 for 2 to try variety thrown out. We've never written a bad review but this is a warning. Waiting to see if we get sick. Then credit card will be canceled. We've lived in Wilmette 35 years, never tried this place, thought reviews were ok. WRONG!

Extremely good Thai and Japanese food. I Order takeout all the time for them. The staff is always nice

Jack Bliamptis

One of my favorites in Wilmette. Both the Thai and the Japanese options are very good, and the prices are unbeatable!
