My Mom lives down the street and she oftens order from here. I was visiting and we decided on sushi for dinner so we came here. I was not bothered that it was in an empty strip mall. The place is fairly small, a little quiet. My 10 year old brother is a loud talker and I had to keep telling him to keep his voice down.
We ordered 4 rolls and pot stickers. The rolls were all very good, everything tasted fresh. The spicy was just the right amount of spicy. My brother even ate the rolls and he's not the biggest sushi fan but he said it was really good. I actually wanted to order more rolls but that was before my brain caught up to my stomach. Our waitress forgot our pot stickers but when I reminded her she brought them out. No biggie.
Our bill was pretty reasonable, I think it was around $30. I would come here for again for good decent priced sushi next time I'm in the area.
I seriously don't know what you guys were eating, because I don't think I was eating the same thing.
My husband walked in on a Friday night for a quick dinner. The girl by the door was on the phone and motioned us to go take a seat. We sat down and waiting a while for anyone to approach us. I ended up going to the sushi chef to get a server.
I ordered sushi and husband ordered empress chicken.
1. the server brought General Tso's chicken (and the receipt said General Tso's chicken)
2. husband said his chicken tasted extremely deep fried and heavy
3. my sushi was sweet. YES. Sweet. This was probably some of the worst I've had. No amount of soy sauce or wasabi helped.
Does anyone want to volunteer for a little project? I want a total number of strip mall Oriental style restaurants in the Chicago seven county area. I can't even begin to guess at the quantity. I am sure that the number is astronomical. I have had some very bad experiences at places like these so although this place came highly recommended, I still had my doubts. I was way off.
I guess I should get my one and only complaint out of the way right now. Our waitress had the personality of a rock. No wait a second. i have met rocks with better personalities. She took care of us but a smile or a laugh would have been nice. My Pad Thai was honestly OUTSTANDING! I am a Pad Thai amateur at best and i have really only had it at a handful of places and hands down this was some of the tastiest I have had.
It is really too bad that this place is so far away from me. I would like to stop here a bit more often.
I had driven by this place several times before I finally tried it. The decor of the place is much nicer than I expected from the exterior. We started with an order of crab rangoon and egg rolls. Both were very good, and the crab rangoon was nicely filled. I ordered the Chicago big roll, sempura roll, philly roll, unagi, and Saba. The sempura roll and unagi came out first. Let me say that this roll has 10 pieces, and are larger than typical rolls, both were very good. The next items to come out were the Chicago big roll and the Saba. The Saba tasted old, and the Chicago big roll was 5 pieces, but they were twice the size of the sempura roll. I canceled the philly roll and had to take half of the Chicago roll home. My wife ordered a Thai dish, that had angel hair rice noodles and was very good and spicy. The biggest complaint we had was that the iced tea tasted like instant, and was sweetened with lemon flavor.
When I first read the reviews for Bok Choy I decided to give it a shot. It is a small place and the wait for food can be a bit considering there isn't a large waitstaff but that isn't the most important. I was more concerned about the food quality.
The maki rolls are alright, they were excellent my first visit but a few have a bit of a fishy taste that I was a bit put off by; as if the fish sat out too long. I also ordered the Chicken Terayki lunch special with white rice and every piece of chicken had connective tissue or gristle. It was inedible. I was pretty disappointed with my recent visit.
Also, there was a leak that had most of the chairs soaked so getting drizzled on while we were eating didn't help much. I hope the food improves.
Online ordering is the best thing ever and this place definitely gets a lot of my business because of that.
The food is usually awesome, there have been a few notable times where the chicken was pretty stringy and overcooked, but that's definitely not the norm for this place.
Highly recommended.
A group of us wanted to go out in Bolingbrook and I suggested Chinese. So after Yelping Chinese Restaurants in Bolingbrook, I found this place and I'm glad I did. Looks are deceiving, this place sits in a little strip mall off of Boughton Road, but when you walk in you're welcomed with a very nice atmosphere.
I give all the food an A+. We shared 4 plates and they were all had great flavor. They also have sushi if you're into that sort of thing. Our meal averages around $10 per person, not bad for a Friday night dinner.
The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because of the service, it was kind of blah.
I too have never been in their establishment. I simply got their menu in the mail, noticed you can order online (score!) and within an hour there was a delivery at my door.
Food is always hot and tasty. Staff is friendly and they were our go-to place for Chinese for a LONG time. Until....Panda Express opened up across the street and I can get Orange Chicken (double the amount) for half the price and it is just as yummy. Sorry Bok Choy, maybe we'll be back when the economy picks up.
I was visiting Bolingbrook from San Francisco when a friend suggested Bok Choy for some Chinese. When we were walking up to the restaurant, I was leery because of the location - dead strip mall next to a little Mexican market and other strange shops. Upon entering the restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised! Really nice decor and atmosphere.
The house fried noodles was good and so was the Mongolian beef. I think the prices were fair and they served the beer ice cold. That's 4 stars in my book!
I was excited to find a good place in Bolingbrook to pick up Chinese! There quite a few but nothing special! The Mongolian Beef was very good! Egg Rolls were good! It was nice to finally find a Chinese place in my town! They have a dining room and a take out spot as well. Best in Bolingbrook, so far!
I was leaning towards four stars when I saw the portion size come out, but once I realized that my eyes were just playing tricks with me I said this place is legit. The service and decor were both excellent. The lunch specials were well priced and absolutely delicious. The sushi pictures staring me in the face were very tempting, but I went with the Chinese and it was a good choice. Thanks to the yelpers who recommended this joint!
I still love this place, but the took Mu Shu off the menu. I am deeply saddened.

Just went back the other day. The sushi was still fresh and I still can't get enough of the white tuna.

The online ordering a great feature - you can customize any dish with any extra's you may want (or remove ingredients you don't want) - the portions are good and the ingredients and flavors are great.
I agree that good Chinese is hard to find in Bolingbrook, but this is good for any neighborhood.
I only had their food ordered online which was very convenient and easy (you can make so many choices like the spicy level, msg, etc). Considering how difficult it is to find a good Chinese restaurants in Bolingbrook, I say Bok Choy is above average compared to the rest in this area.
Obviously, their food falls short of great authentic Chinese restaurants in Chicago, but this is a solid choice if you live in Bolingbrook.
The food is really quite good for your standard take-out, extremely affordable if you're ordering off of the lunch menu, very customizable and the ease of ordering (online ordering system so I don't even have to get off of my ass in shitty snowy weather = awesome) adds up.
I haven't actually been INSIDE of the establishment, I must admit, but I wouldn't be adverse to going at all judging by the delivery food.
They're also extremely friendly and willing to work with you on your orders.
Will be back. Will definitely be back.
BY FAR the best Chinese food in Bolingbrook (IMO). I have NEVER had a bad meal here and their delivery has ALWAYS been on time, even delivering to a business.
Can't wait to try their new Sushi!
