Reviews for Hot Woks Cool Sushi in Chicago, IL

I was walking by and decided to try this place. The Sushi was good but the General Tso chicken was not so good, it looked great... but was average at best. If I went again, I’d only order the sushi. The wait time for a seat was very short and the staffare very friendly here. Read more

High quality sushi and a cool, relaxed vibe. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the servers are really nice. The Black... Dragon and Bitcoin signature rolls were incredible. The Sashimi Silver Platter was also delish. You pay by scanning a QR code onyour receipt. Watch out if you scan the QR code on the table for the menu. There’s an ad that will try to get you to sign upfor something lame. Besides that you can’t go wrong with this place. Read more

Sushi rolls tasted good! It was fun to eat a “Sushi” donut for the first time. I ordered the Chicken Cashew dish and the... white meat chicken tasted juicy and bouncy. Read more

Please, DO NOT order anything from the menu that is non-sushi related. Zero flavor, zero taste. Presentation was nice but the... food simply had, no flavor what so ever. The sushi was awesome but the purpose of the visit was the other meals offered andthey were not on the order again list. Service was great, friendly, and the area was clean but please, only order the sushi. Read more

Yep, that was a tourist trap. 5* for the food presentation, the setting and service. 1* for the actual food taste. The Crab... Rangoon was OK, albeit a little raw on the inside. The Black Dragon sushi? Meh. Didn't taste like anything, really. Looked greatbut not much in terms of taste. My wife ordered the Tofu steak. The presentation looked incredible. Taste? They didn't evenbother marinate the Tofu. They didn't even buy the correct kind. This wasn't firm tofu, it was super soft tofu, pan-fried in atasteless batter to make it look good. The tempura onion rings were also flavorless. Generally speaking their tempuras are allquite weak. My Garlic ramen was extremely meh. Had a very weak umami flavor, and the chicken karaage was flavorless. I asked forit to be mild but it wasn't. The noodles? Biggest shocker: Felt and tasted like store bought instant noodles. That wasdefinitely not Udon. For what we paid for this extremely weak meal, we could have driven north and had an epic Peking Duck mealat Sun-Wah. Shouldn't have expected much from a place right in front of the bean. Read more

Great place for a quick bite or a larger Asian fusion meal. Really good variety on the menu, a lot of custom sushi rolls to... choose from, surprisingly varied drinks menu with beer, wine and cocktails. Service was really friendly and very fast. Interioris simple and comfortable, not fancy. Food tasted freshly cooked and well seasoned. Would go back! Read more

Really enjoyable munch. Service was super fast.. everything came out faster than I was expecting. Got some Maki which was... delicious...picked ginger and Wasabi both v good. Then had some Ramen....also very nice... Chicken for ramen was served seperatein a bowl..was battered chicken.. not bad on its own but not sure it complimented the ramen very much. Main bowl of ramen prettygood. Would def return to try some other dishes. Read more

We really enjoyed this place. It was not too busy and the menu was great and was close to everything in the tourist zone.. We... had ramen and some tempura. It tried the sushi bagel. It tasted good. I didn't know how to eat it though. It was a mess. We willreturn next time we are in Chicago. Read more
