Hot Woks Cool Sushi: Experience the Best of Asian Fusion in Chicago

I've came here twice in the span of three days. The location is absolutely amazing. Right off Michigan Ave, where you have so many local stores, and attractions. This is perfect for the out of towners. The interior is beautiful, it's calm, peaceful, and warm. The only thing I don't like is that they have their clean dishes right in eye sight hanging out for everyone to walk past and see. But I understand why because of space. The food is very much so to die for. I'm a crab Rangoon expert, and I gotta say. The ones they make here are AMAZING. AAAHHH. Im obsessed. I got an order of 10 today. The bento box is enormous. AND serves quality! The rolls of sushi were large, fresh, and absolutely perfect. Beautiful food, beautiful location, beautiful atmosphere

Busy. But service was attentive, and relatively fast. One item was slow, but they provided complimentary soup. I have had better sushi and maki. It just did not have much taste and freshness. Now some things that were interesting, but perhaps typical to Chicago. We were auto charged 20% for a party of six as a "large party". Then an added 2.5% for using a credit card. So that is a 22.5% charge on the bill. That's fine, particularly given the location and the very reasonable prices and no leftover portion sizes. The food is three stars, service five stars.

Totally our first time dining at this restaurant. Ordered several Maki Rolls: California Rolls x 2, Dragon Roll, Shrimp Tempura Rolls x 5, a Philly Roll, Spider Roll, and a Spicy Tako. Asked for a House Salad and a Thai Iced Coffee, too. Food taste - 4 out of 5 Stars Food portion - 3 out of 5 Stars Food quality - 4 out of 5 Stars Food prices - 3 out of 5 Stars Table Service - 4 out of 5 Stars (House Salad was forgotten initially) Overall Rating - 4 out of 5 Recommended for some of the rolls and definitely the Thai Iced Coffee!!! Portions are kind of small, though. We had 5 Adults in our party, so 11 orders of the rolls seemed like an ample amount of food for all of us in our party. If we wanted, we could have honestly ordered a couple of more rolls, but we were full enough and satisfied with what we ate...

On a day spent wandering the city, we came across this spot. Being right on Michigan Ave, I assumed prices would be outrageous. Surprisingly, no! Staff did a good job of kicking out someone attempting to beg patrons for money. Sushi was decent. The service was friendly. It is surprisingly a large restaurant too.

In the city for the day, and as we start looking for lunch, we sushi and instantly have to try. You see, we're always looking to try different sushi places. After 20k steps, we're hungry! We walk in and are instantly greeted by the host (who is super friendly). We get a nice seat by the window and enjoy the view. I went basic: California, tuna, and spicy tuna. For regular, non specialty rolls, the prices were surprisingly low. I thought they tasted good, a little chilled and not too fishy tasting. The restaurant is a lot larger than it appears. Being in the front, I didn't realize how long it extends to the back. There were customers frequently in and out, so it seems to be a nice spot right by where all the tourists walk by. I'd like them, and I would for sure come back if I'm in the area.
