We ordered/scheduled ahead for a team lunch. I ordered a medium-spice BYOB with chili coconut curry sauce, white rice, tofu, onions, green kale, purple cabbage, and edamame. The bowl was delicious and a good lunch portion, however it needed more sauce as some parts of the bowl was dry. I got a medium spice level but could definitely go for hot next time as this didn't have any spice. It leaves you feeling full and healthy. Overall, I would go again and maybe try the rice noddles.

Brightwok kitchen is easily one of my favorite places to grab lunch in the city! I've tried multiple sauces over the past few visits and everything has been so tasty and fast:) my favorite one is probably the Thai basil but tbh you can't go wrong with any of them! The staff are all very kind and knowledgeable and the restaurant is very well maintained! I can't wait to come again soon

Ordered it for lunch at work. Had the Sweet New Year and Magic Cake. Magic cake was awful and tasted terrible. The sweet potato fritter was bitter. As if that was not enough, my stomach hurt after eating and had diarrhea! Definitely would not recommend to anyone! Negative stars if I could.

Had lunch here last Friday.Their entire menu is gluten, dairy, fish, shellfish and peanut free!Their sauces are also all vegan!We ordered the Panang Chicken curry bowl and the Thai Basil chicken Bowl.I requested for the sauce to be on the side for my Thai Basil chicken bowl and they gladly accommodated my request.Both bowls were very yummy! They were loaded with veggies!I then went on to takeaway an additional bowl of the Panang curry bowl for myself for dinner! - the cashew curry sauce was very good!Dietary restrictions: Gluten, lactose, shellfish, fish, peanut free

The food was great. It was crowded and there was a wait, which is good for them but bad if you're limited time on a lunch break.

I recommend this place to everyone I know and eat it every chance I get. I wish I could buy some sauces or some sort of meal kit to bring home to the suburbs to make dinner for my family! The other day they were very accommodating when a friend of mine mixed up her online order location. Please open another location in Glen Ellyn!
Walking by looking for something new. Place was empty but it looked inviting. After the lunch rush / hour so it had an almost dirty vibe to it but not enough to really keep me from entering. Not sure what to have so I settle on the Earth, Curry, Fire. Great choice! Hot, fresh, crispy veggies and just enough sauce. Food was brought to my table.. I was the only one in there at the time. Friendly staff. Good portion size. Definitely worth a try. I recommend.
Excellent food and excellent service. Ive been coming here for years and it's great to have a place with healthy food but also tastes great.

My go-to takeout is Earth, Curry & Fire w/ Tofu. It has the right balance of spiciness and good protein-veggie-rice ratio. You can customize it (e.g. as-is or steamed with less sauce). The staff is always welcoming and the place is cute! I have never eaten it but groups frequent this place. Many large tables for work lunch groups!

In short, great food and service.Stopped by for an early lunch during the week and it was still empty. I arrived when they first opened at 11a, so probably beat the lunch rush. Lady working the register was also training a new employee, but immediately greeted me and took my order. She was very friendly and helpful.All the bowls sounded good, but ordered the Everyday Eat Right with the addition of a Crispy Egg. It was ready in 10 minutes and they brought the bowl to my table. Bowl presentation was nice and the egg was cooked perfectly. Didn't just look good, but tasted amazing. Fresh ingredients sourced locally from the chicken to the vegetables mixed with brown rice.I'll definitely come back on my next trip to try some of the other bowls.
