This place is a GF gem! My favorite order is the crunchy crave, and their ingredients across the board are excellent. The Web site is great as well, and you ca n get in a nice rewards program using it. Manager Megan is awesome and her staff is great at taking care of customers dietary needs!

I enjoyed the bowl I had here and I like the concept of this restaurant a lot. Food came out really fast which was great. Definitely a celiac safe establishment, the sign at the entrance said that the entire place was gluten and dairy free. I would recommend this place for a quick meal in Chicago.

Not too bad for fast food in a pinch. The workers make me nervous though like they don’t fully get it with the gluten free. But didn’t make me sick

I've eaten at Brightwok Kitchen many times over the years and have had a lot of great experiences. They did recently add a single menu item that contains gluten. I contacted them to let them know that this was disappointing and received a thoughtful and detailed response from the founder. Long story short, their explanation convinced me that this continues to be a very safe place for people who are very sensitive to eat. I'm a very sensitive celiac and ate here are the menu change with no problems at all. These folks are professionals and made their menu adjustment with gluten free people in mind. Thank you Brightwok for delicious food and for taking gluten free seriously!

I work close by so it's comforting to know Brightwok is there. I always get a hot bowl when I'm there and it's addicting frankly. Busy day, don't want to think about lunch... I've never had a reaction eating their food.

THIS RESTAURANT IS NO LONGER DEDICATED GLUTEN FREE! They are now serving sesame noodles made out of wheat. This is extremely disappointing for me, as this was one of two places in the Loop that I could safely grab lunch at during the work day.
On the taste side, it’s decent, but nothing to write home about.

Just flew into Chicago and read the reviews. I concur with the other reviews - all GF and tasty. This particular store is in the Loop and a bit dirty but it’s a small price for the comfort of eating good quality gf food. Not the greatest hours either (this store closed at 2:30 pm!).

Great option for gluten free lunch! Even for dine in, you have to order on your phone instead of ordering at the counter, which was a little odd. Sweet potato fritters are especially good. Magic cake wasn't so good.

AMAZING food. I had it 2 nights in one week and each portion lasted me at least two meals. It was amazing. I built my own bowl with chicken and veggies on a bed of white rice with the teriyaki sauce. It was incredible! My non gluten free boyfriend and friend had their own bowls and we all loved it. 10/10 would recommend!!

This restaurant is great! They have plenty of sauces to choose from and it’s a great place to create your own bowl if you want to! I recommend the thai basil sauce, which tastes just like teriyaki!!

Outstanding food for people with Celiac disease. EVERYTHING IS GLUTEN FREE, high quality, fresh, and prepared perfectly. Easy online ordering during pandemic. (Pre-COVID: Lunch line can get a little long, but well worth the wait.) Prices are reasonable for downtown Chicago. Being able to order anything on the menu without worry is priceless.

Absolutely worth it! Kiddo with celiacs don’t like sauces or food touching but steamed rice noodles with a side of chicken and a side of edamame was great! Adult meals were great too!
Yes
I come here at least once a week, sometimes more. So nice to have a safe option in the area. The Thai basil sauce is amazing. At first I didn’t get the magic cake, because I figured it wasn’t worth spending money on dessert - WRONG! Get it, you won’t regret it. Everyone is super cheerful and welcoming, too, which just makes the whole experience better.
