Gluten free menu. Good, satisfying gluten free sushi options, noodles, fried rice, etc. While a chain atmosphere, I really appreciate the effort they put into the interior: impressive art installations, etc. Recommend for carry out or dining in – good lunch or dinner option.

The food is fine. There are better sushi places in the areas, but if you are with someone who wants a noodle dish or other Asian staple, Wok n’ Fire is a nice option. The sushi is really over priced and the seaweed here is particularly tough to chew. Also, I’ve never had a nice server. They just always do the minimum, and I’ve been there over a dozen times. So when we go, we go for one of their special: ½ priced Maki rolls and drinks specials certain days of the week, check out their website for more specials. But my real favorite is the lunch combo: 4pc CA roll and 4pc spicy tuna plus a salad with their Wasabi Vinaigrette. That dressing is worth the trip, in fact, it really is what keeps my going back, it’s addicting. The wasabi heat stings at first and quickly goes away, it’s really, really good!!! Also, you can go all one way with the eight pieces and you can get soy paper vs. seaweed, that is a really good alternative, especially for kids.

We don’t go out alot, but when we do this place is at the top of our list. A couple of Saturdays ago we had the BEST dinner and service! We ordered crab rangoon, Malaysian Satay chicken, coconut shrimp, spinach egg drop soup, tuna tatake roll, wok n roll, caterpillar roll, and yes, a cheeseburger with fries(their fries are so good I ordered extra fries). For dessert we had chocolate and mango mochi. Everything was too die for delicious and I would order the same things again ! Our server was Christine and she was very attentive without being annoying, and we never had to ask for anything because she was so on top of it. I love it when I do not run out of water! That takes attention to detail! Can’t wait to come back Wok! Keep up the excellent work!

Matt the bearded bartender is not only handsome, he is talented and awesome! There’s also amazing support staff. There is no better sushi or drinks. This place has ambiance, excellence, amazing food and just the best place in town. If you are looking for sushi, look no further!

Ok. I have been here 3 different times. I have had 3 different meals. Honestly none are memorable. I was disappointed that the one time I ordered scallops they came breaded… really? And not a good coating either… very gritty and bland. I had sushi one time here and all I can say about that is I’ve had much better at a lesser price. Staff was ok… just ok. Décor is nice and clean for the most part. I just seems to me that the place kinda gets by and charges more than they should for the mediocre food just because it’s in St Charles. I’ve had worse, I’ve had much better. We gave em 3 shots… won’t be going back.

«Accidentally» had my credit card authorized for $ 2 more than the bill by the bartender roger. Asked Roger if we could speak with a manager — without explaining the problem — and the manager«magically» knows that our card was mischarged and shows up with the correct authorization slip, which screams intentional fraud and theft. Inappropriate and unacceptable with a poor management of the issue by the manager in charge. Contacted wok n fire via email through their website awaiting a response.

Kinda like PF Changs but has a wider pan-Asian menu offering. Their service was very good and it was not too loud for a business lunch meeting.

I ordered out tonight, definitely not worth the 15 dollars. I got the sweet and spicy chicken, Nor was either what I expected. Next time I’ll have to try the sushi.

We had been to the one in Wheaton many times and always enjoyed and we were in St Charles on a Friday night and decided to check this one out and we were pleasantly surprised that this one was just as nice and good as the one in Wheaton. The service was great, wish I could remember her name, but she was awesome, personable, right on time with everything, checking on us each time something had been dropped off. Just what you expect and appreciate. We had the same rolls we usually do, with tuna, and salmon and eel and they were just as tasty as we like. Really nice atmosphere, busy as you’d expect on a Friday night… prices were reasonable too. I only wish they’d expand their craft beer choices… otherwise we’d go again when in St. Charles,

Despite the chain feel and questionable authenticity of many of the menu items, I really like the food here. The fried rice is one of the best I have ever had. I order the combo fried rice(without shrimp) made with brown rice. Being a diabetic, I appreciate the availability of brown rice and I find this dish especially good made with brown rice. Another dish I enjoy is the Yakatory Beef. It is a typical Asian appetizer consisting of chunks of beef on skewers in an Asian sweet sauce, but the sauce is really well done. It is not too sweet, sour, tangy, or heavy. The beef is complimented by a light Asian slaw in a light vinaigrette dressing that is not too sweet, creamy, or tangy. As far as soups go I highly recommend the phở bowl. I always get it with wheat noodles because this is a more carb friendly option than rice noodles. I really enjoy the generous helping of fresh peppers and bean sprouts which are meant to be mixed into the soup. You can not go wrong with any of the noodle dishes. A variety of noodles are offered and you can swap out any protein or use any noodle with any protein. I recommend the curry but it is just OK. Please be aware I can not speak for the sushi or any items on the menu that swim. The dining experience is consistent at other locations.

I’m not a big Chinese food fan and I loved this place! I had the chicken lettuce wraps and they were so good! The portion size was huge, this would be a great appetizer for multiple people or a meal with leftovers for one. I also had the pot stickers which were yummy! The other thing I have to rave about is their banana fritters dessert! Its warm fried bananas with cinnamon, caramel, and ice cream! I would highly recommend. The lunch and happy hour specials are fantastic! They even have specials on the weekend!

Excellent kung pao steak. The atmosphere is mostly on point. However, the dim lighting is a bit dark for my tastes. I love the St. Charles downtown area, so this made for a great evening.

Lovely evening in STC. We had a reservation for 8pm and showed up at 7:30. Way to early so we informed the hostesses we would be at the bar till 8. Received drinks promptly and hung out to watch a little of the hawks game. After that realized quite a few bar tables opened which are first come first serve if you didn’t know. I went up to the hostesses and informed them that we would be fine with grabbing one of those tables. Grabbed one and was promptly served. Food came out quickly and our server Christina was extremely pleasant! Brian the manager table touched with us twice and being in the industry that is a BEAUTIFUL thing to be able to do let alone accomplish! Great place! The people in charge should be very proud! Can’t wait to come back!

I would give this 3.5 stars. The food is definitely a 4. Crab Rangoon was good but I wish it had more crab in it. Had the Chilean Sea Bass and it was cooked perfectly. Flakey and the miso glaze was amazing. The only thing I didn’t like on the plate was the asparagus. It had a funny taste to it and I felt the flavor didn’t go with the rice and fish. I had a bite of my husband’s Korean BBQ filet, that was also cooked perfectly. Tender and great flavor. There are a lot of options on the menu which is nice and same with the kids menu. What I would give a 3 on is service and the bathrooms. You have a pretty good size kid menu, a place to park strollers but no changing table? Really? I have a 19 month old, I had to change her on the small wet and dirty counter by the sinks. I am lucky I had those hospital pads and her changing pad to lay out on top of the wet, soapy counter. It was so little her legs were dangling off. There are only two stalls in the bathroom both were dirty. No toilet paper and then there was also no paper towel. I had changed her before dinner. 1.5−2 hours later when we were paying I had to use the restroom. Guess what? Still no toilet paper or paper towels. Really? They bus boys cleared off our tables in a hurry. I left my daughter’s sippy cup on the table and had to ask two different guys if they had seen it. One said they had and he went to the kitchen and grabbed it. Think they threw it in the trash. It was sticky and dirty, wasn’t that way on the table. Our server was okay, felt like she was rushing us out, especially when we were settling the check. Yes there were a lot of people waiting for a table but we were a party of 11, 6 were kids. Would come back for the food, it really was amazing. Hopefully next time service is better and hopefully they get a changing table in there. Sadly I had to change my daughter in her stroller when we left. It was a bit chilly out but I didn’t really have a choice. Someone also needs to check the restrooms for cleanliness every couple hours.

The food was really good. We had calamari appetizer and crab Rangoon. I ordered a spicy noodle with chicken. Really tasty. My friend ordered the seabass it was amazing. The waitress was nice and friendly. They even has grilled cheese, fries and chicken tenders for the kids. It was just really loud in there and the manager had an attitude when we told her we wanted to add two more chairs. She first told me our friends couldn’t join us but then when a table was about to leave she told us we can move to that other table. I think she just handled it unprofessionally.

Good food, good ambience, came here during the mid-afternoon for lunch and there was hardly any customers. Staff was nice and attentive. I’ve been to the other location in Addison numerous times and this was my first time here at St. Charles. Consistent food and delicious.

Although I had a Wok N Fire available to me in my hometown and former residence(Wheaton), I never got the feeling that I need to go to this establishment. If I ever had a taste for Asian food, I usually would frequent Thipi Thai in Glen Ellyn. Fortunately for me, my new employer is based in St. Charles, and they treated us to a lunch as part of our orientation. What a nice touch! We arrived at noon on a Tuesday and were seated promptly. The tagline for the restaurant is: Sushi, Stir Fry, and Bar. I knew I wouldn’t be having sushi since I don’t eat seafood. The Bar was out of the question because I’m not a drinker and I don’t think that would have gone over well with the new bosses. As a result, I was in on the stir fry! I had two basic options; a wok tossed entrée(protein and vegetables) served in some sort of sauce with a side of rice(brown, white, or fried rice) or a noodle dish. After some brief debate, I decided to go with Chicken Pad Thai. Before I get ahead of myself, I should mention that they have soups and entrée salads as well. I actually ordered the hot and sour soup, which had tofu, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms with white pepper and vinegar. It had a nice flavor with a bit of kick, but not too spicy. I am a wimp when it comes to hot items, but this was nothing. As for my Pad Thai, it was excellent! Slightly Sweet and Sour, it had tofu, scallions, bean sprouts, carrots, and crushed peanuts. I ate the first half with chopsticks but after that I realized I was hungry and wanted more noodles faster, so I switched to the fork! All in all, a solid place for a meal. I’ll be interested to possibly try some of their appetizers and sides on my next visit!
