Words from Our Community
"Absolutely the best Chinese food I've had delivered. The General Tso's chicken was perfectly crispy and the sauce was a sublime balance of sweet and spicy. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. It arrived piping hot in under 30 minutes. Wok & Roll is my new go-to, without a doubt. The entire experience, from ordering online to the final bite, was seamless and deeply satisfying. I appreciate the eco-friendly packaging too!"– Jessica L., Downtown
"I am incredibly impressed. As someone with a gluten sensitivity, finding safe and delicious Chinese food is a challenge. Wok & Roll's menu clearly marks gluten-free options, and their staff is knowledgeable. The GF beef and broccoli was tender and flavorful. Finally, a place I can trust for authentic taste without compromise. The dedication to catering to dietary needs while maintaining authenticity is remarkable. Highly recommended for everyone."– Michael B., West Suburbs
"The Dim Sum platter is a work of art. Each piece was delicate, distinct, and bursting with flavor. It's clear that these are not mass-produced; they are handcrafted with skill and care. I felt like I was transported to a traditional teahouse in Hong Kong. The delivery was prompt and the presentation was beautiful, even in a takeaway box. This place is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise. It has completely redefined my expectations for food delivery."– Samantha C., Northside
"Wok & Roll has consistently exceeded my expectations. Their Mapo Tofu is genuinely authentic, with the perfect 'ma la' numbing spice that is so hard to find in delivery services. It's not the Americanized version; it's the real deal. The portion sizes are generous, and the value for money is outstanding. Their customer service is also top-notch, always friendly and helpful. I've ordered at least a dozen times and have never once been disappointed."– David R., University District
The Heart and Soul of the Wok
Wok & Roll was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to share the true, unadulterated flavors of our family's heritage with our community. We are not just a business; we are the culmination of generations of culinary passion, a story that begins in the bustling markets of Chengdu and the vibrant kitchens of Guangzhou. Our founder, Mei Lin, grew up watching her grandmother master the art of the wok, learning that the secret to extraordinary food lies not only in the freshest ingredients but in the love and respect with which they are prepared. This philosophy is the cornerstone of our existence. We reject the notion that delivered food must be a compromise on quality or authenticity. We meticulously source our produce from local organic farms, our spices from trusted importers, and our proteins from ethical suppliers. Our chefs are not just cooks; they are artisans who have dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft, understanding the delicate balance of flavors, textures, and aromas that define exceptional Chinese cuisine. Every sizzle in our woks is a tribute to our ancestors, and every meal we deliver is an invitation to our family's table. We believe in building a connection with our customers that goes beyond a simple transaction. We want you to know the story behind your food, to appreciate the journey from the farm to our kitchen, and finally, to your home. This is more than just a delivery service; it is a cultural embassy on a mission to redefine the perception of Chinese food, one delicious, authentic, and passionately crafted dish at a time. We are here to bring you not just a meal, but a genuine experience steeped in history and flavor. Starting this venture was a leap of faith, a significant investment built on the belief that people craved something more genuine. The early days were spent perfecting these family recipes for a commercial scale without losing their soul, a challenge that took nearly two years of relentless testing and refinement. Mei Lin's grandmother taught her that a recipe is not just a list of ingredients, but a story and a feeling. That's why our head chefs are chosen not only for their technical skill but for their ability to understand and convey that story in every dish. They are masters of their regional cuisines, bringing with them decades of experience and a profound respect for the legacy they now carry.
Our Culinary Achievements by the Numbers
1.2 Million+ Wok Tosses
The wok is the heart of our kitchen, and 'wok hei'—the breath of the wok—is the soul of our flavor. Our chefs have collectively tossed the wok over 1.2 million times, a staggering number that represents countless hours of mastering high-heat cooking to impart that unique, smoky essence into our stir-fries. Each toss is a precise, practiced movement, a testament to the relentless pursuit of culinary perfection that defines our craft and delights our customers. This is not an automated process; it is pure, human skill.
200+ Unique Ingredients
Our pantry is a testament to the vast diversity of Chinese cuisine. We regularly stock over 200 unique, high-quality ingredients, from fiery Szechuan peppercorns and fragrant star anise to delicate wood ear mushrooms and crisp lotus root. This incredible variety allows us to offer a menu that is both deeply authentic and broadly appealing, representing the distinct culinary traditions of multiple regions across China and ensuring a rich tapestry of flavors in every dish. Our inventory is managed with meticulous care to ensure peak freshness.
8 Regional Cuisines
We take you on a gastronomic journey across China. Our menu proudly features signature dishes from eight distinct regional cuisines, including the bold and spicy flavors of Szechuan, the subtle and refined tastes of Cantonese, the hearty and savory notes of Dongbei, and the sweet and sour profiles of Jiangsu. This allows our customers to explore the rich and varied landscape of Chinese food, discovering new favorites with every single order they place with us. We see our menu as an edible map of China.
Why Wok & Roll is Your Best Choice
Uncompromising Authenticity
We honor tradition. Our recipes are not diluted or westernized; they are the real deal, passed down through generations. We use traditional cooking methods and authentic ingredients to create flavors that transport you directly to the streets of Beijing or the heart of Canton. When you eat with us, you are experiencing the true essence of Chinese culinary culture, a commitment to authenticity that sets us apart from the rest and guarantees a memorable meal. For example, our Kung Pao Chicken uses real Szechuan peppercorns for that signature numbing spice, a detail often omitted elsewhere.
Peak Freshness & Quality
Quality is non-negotiable. We've built our reputation on a foundation of freshness. All our vegetables are sourced daily from local organic partners, and our proteins are of the highest grade. We never use MSG, and our sauces are made in-house from scratch. This dedication ensures that every dish is vibrant, nutritious, and bursting with pure, clean flavor. It’s a difference you can see in the color and taste in every bite. Our bok choy is crisp, our scallions are sharp, and our beef is tender because it was all sourced with impeccable care just hours before preparation.
Dietary-Friendly & Customizable
We believe everyone should enjoy great food. Our menu is designed with inclusivity in mind, featuring a wide array of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options that are just as flavorful as their traditional counterparts. You can easily customize spice levels and ingredients, ensuring your meal is perfectly tailored to your preferences and dietary needs. Your satisfaction and well-being are our top priorities always. Our online ordering system features clear, easy-to-use modifiers for each dish, empowering you to craft your perfect meal with confidence and ease.

Emperor's Peking Duck (Half)
A true imperial classic, our Peking Duck is prepared over 48 hours. The duck is air-dried to create perfectly crisp skin, then roasted to succulent perfection. Served with delicate, paper-thin pancakes, freshly sliced scallions, crisp cucumber, and our house-made sweet bean sauce. This is not just a dish; it's a ceremonial experience of texture and flavor, a symphony of savory, sweet, and crunchy that has been cherished by emperors for centuries. A must-try for connoisseurs.

Dragon's Breath Mapo Tofu
Authentic Szechuan Mapo Tofu that packs a fiery, numbing punch. We use soft, silken tofu simmered in a vibrant, spicy sauce made with fermented broad bean paste (doubanjiang), chili flakes, and a generous amount of Szechuan peppercorns for that signature 'ma la' sensation. Complemented with savory ground pork (a vegetarian version is available) and finished with a sprinkle of fresh scallions. This dish is a bold and complex masterpiece, not for the faint of heart but a true delight for lovers of spicy food.

Jade Garden Xiao Long Bao
Our soup dumplings are a testament to skill and precision. Each delicate, hand-pleated wrapper encases a rich, savory pork filling and a burst of intensely flavorful, hot broth. Steamed to perfection in a traditional bamboo basket, these little treasures are meant to be savored. We recommend biting a small hole, sipping the soup, then enjoying the dumpling with a side of black vinegar and ginger slivers. A truly interactive and soul-warming experience that highlights the delicate side of Shanghainese cuisine.
$15.00Our Pledge for a Greener Tomorrow
At Wok & Roll, our responsibility extends beyond the kitchen. We are deeply committed to operating in a way that respects our planet and supports our community for generations to come. This is not a trend for us; it is a core tenet of our business philosophy. Our sustainability pledge is built on three pillars: responsible sourcing, waste reduction, and community engagement. We have forged lasting partnerships with local farms that practice organic and regenerative agriculture. This not only guarantees the freshest, most flavorful ingredients for our dishes but also reduces our carbon footprint by minimizing food miles and supporting a sustainable local food ecosystem. We believe in a circular economy. All of our takeaway containers, cutlery, and bags are made from 100% compostable or recyclable materials, a significant step in diverting waste from landfills. In our kitchen, we practice meticulous waste reduction, utilizing vegetable scraps for broths and stocks and implementing a comprehensive composting program for all organic waste. We also actively partner with local food banks to donate any surplus food, ensuring that nothing goes to waste while helping to combat food insecurity in our community. We are constantly exploring new technologies and practices to further reduce our environmental impact, from energy-efficient kitchen appliances to optimizing delivery routes to save fuel. Choosing Wok & Roll means you are not only choosing an exceptional meal but also supporting a business that is actively working towards a healthier, more sustainable future for everyone. It's a flavor you can feel good about. Specifically, our containers are made from bagasse (a sugarcane byproduct) and our cutlery is PLA-based, both of which are commercially compostable. We work with 'Community Plates', a local non-profit, to ensure our surplus food reaches those who need it most, turning potential waste into nourishment. Our future goals include installing a water reclamation system in our kitchen and transitioning our small delivery fleet to be fully electric by 2028. This is a journey of continuous improvement, and we are dedicated to being transparent about our progress.
