“Caitlan is, without a doubt, the reason we visit as often as we do. We had her as our waitress long ago, and when we returned a second time and she showed up, we were so excited. (We had actually said “what if we got that sweet girl again?”) She provides the best service, her vibe is immaculate, and she just makes the dining experience a million times more pleasurable and memorable. Thanks for being the best, Caitlan!!“

“From the minute we walked in everything was wonderful. Our server was friendly and beyond accommodating. As was the chef when we requested a dish not on the menu. The food was exceptional. The best Chinese food we’ve ever had in the suburbs. Definitely compares to Chinatown.“

If it weren't so far away from where I live, I'd be here all the time. I had to take a special trip 40 minutes just to eat here, but it was worth it! I can't wait to come back.“

“Absolutely delicious! The hot and sour soup brought the heat, but didn't over power the flavor. We also had a variety of the dim sum, the best was the pot stickers. Fun atmosphere, great service“

“Family of 4 - myself and son split the All you can eat Sushi, while my husband and daughter split a couple of the Chinese entrees. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Everything we received came out fresh and delicious. Everyone left full and satisfied with their meals! I think this might be a new favorite spot. There was a lot of food we wanted to try and can't wait to come back to try more!“

“It's a bit of an older place, just vibes-wise, but it just means the food there is amazing since the chefs are so familiar with every dish they make. The waiters and waitresses, despite not speaking English as a native language, are all so kind and considerate as well! I highly recommend the Hainan chicken rice and the Vietnamese iced coffee. Also, the pricing is insanely good for the quality of food. Looking forward to going again!“

“With Heng Weng dropping far from my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area since the new owners, thankfully Absolutely Chinese is now one of my favorites in the northwest suburbs! Picked up the egg rolls and combination fried rice tonight from an owner could not be friendlier and attentive, I loved it all! Fresh and great tasting, I look forward to trying more!“

“Fantastic Sichuan food with a real kick! ? I had the Boiled Beef in Spicy Broth, and the spice level was just right—tingling but not overpowering. The portion sizes were generous, and the beef was super nice. The service was fast, and the staff were attentive . Definitely coming back for more!“

“First time ordering take out from here. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, beef lo mein, beef and broccoli and crab rangoons. Everything was delicious! We also got mango and watermelon smoothies. So good! We will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“This place is much better than its rating suggests. The General Tso Chicken was excellent, with juicy white meat and a crispy batter. The cashier was also very friendly. I haven't had American Chinese food this good in years.
The mango and peach smoothies are some of the best in the world—10/10!
Parking: Typical small shopping center parking lot“

“I find some of the low reviews here baffling. I think some people may be confusing this restaurant with other Chinese restaurants due to its rather non descript name. Make no mistake, the food here is excellent and punches way above its price point.Coming in the first time I was pessimistic. It seemed your standard pre prepared food menu ready to dish out quickly to the lunch crowd panda express style. I quickly became a huge fan after eating large well prepared portions I would expect from a normal sit down restaurant. Yes it's your standard generic fare but made so much better.Great food, great price. Appreciate these places, the owners care about making something good.“

“Every now and then you run across a hidden gem. Like a former Chinatown chef who has opened his own place. I have enjoyed superb Chinese food from this restaurant for decades. You know it's good when you'll go out of your way for simple dishes like their BBQ pork fried rice. Try the shrimp in garlic sauce, or orange chicken. Most highly recommended. Family atmosphere.“

“Hands down, one of the BEST lunch specials in / around western suburbs. You get choice of soup , (small) egg roll and entree. Portions were huge! My friend and I got the combo fried rice (nice jumbo pieces of shrimp) and the orange chicken. It was $15 per person including tip and tax
The food tasted very fresh. Willl be back for sure.“

“My Mom and I were looking for a new (new to us) Chinese-American restaurant. Palace Cantonese surpassed all expectations. Every plate we had was delicious and food was hot. The service by Calvin was outstanding.
We entered the restaurant and were the only ones during this late lunch time. We sat in the comfortable and cozy booth (firm for what my back needs). Right away, Calvin brought delicious hot tea and water. The Fried Won Ton, which is hard to find without meat, was perfectly fried, not soggy. The cup of egg drop soup was a generous portion, more like a medium bowl. The veggie egg rolls were large and tasty. The Chicken Szechuan, was like a kung pao chicken and very flavorful. I loved the touch from Calvin bringing extra peanuts without us asking. He also asked if we needed more tea even though our steel carafe was half full. At similar restaurants, I’ve not seen that service.
The final touch was receiving 2 almond cookies (plus fortune cookies), which my Mom and I love.
It’s my new favorite restaurant which I will be patronizing every time I’m in Chicago.
Parking: Restaurant in small strip mall.“

“For me, this is THE best Korean-Chinese spot in Chicago. Sure, there are places like Yu's Mandarin, Chef Ping, Great Sea, Great Beijing, etc but they don't focus only on Korean-chinese food like Lai Lai do, hence in my opinion, Lai Lai serves the best Jajangmyeon and Jjambbong.
Now, Jajangmyeon comes in many varieties, but most people aren't aware of the differences:
Regular Jajangmyeon: All ingredients are stir-fried, then water and starch are added, resulting in a familiar starchy texture with added sugar or salt.
Gan Jajang: Cooked with just oil, it tends to be more oily and has a stronger "fire" taste from longer stir-frying, often more salty.
Uni Jajang: Ingredients are minced, so the dish lacks visible ingredient shapes and texture but brings out most flavor.
Sam seon Jajang (precious ingredients from sky, land, and sea): Originally with expensive items like shrimp, abalone, and pork, now often substituted with squid and cheaper ingredients.
Tray Jajang: Essentially +2 portions of Sam seon Jajang without the expensive ingredients.
I mention this because in Chicago, there are very few places offering these varieties, and even fewer doing it well. No one specializes in it quite like Korea, and the closest I've found to matching Korean taste is regular Jajangmyeon from Lai Lai.
I can also go on about Jjambbong and the chicken as you see on the picture but perhaps on another review...“

“We ordered the dinner special last night. This includes an entree, fried rice and an egg roll. I got the shrimp kow, and my husband got mushroom egg foo young. The shrimp kow contained a generous amount of large shrimp and an assortment of veggies in a white sauce, which was highly seasoned. Bok choy, mushrooms,broccoli, peapods, water chestnuts,celery and adorably thinly sliced carrots. I loved it! My husband must have enjoyed the egg foo young...it's all gone! The dinner came in a black takeout container that was divided into two sections.Very nice. The shrimp egg rolls were huge and rolled very fancy! All the food was piping hot and ready for pick up in 15 minutes! The service when ordering and picking up was very courteous and accommodating. Prices were very reasonable!
Vegetarian options: A whole section of vegitarian options including tofu.“

“The garlic beef was delicious. I loved everything we ordered. Fried rice, chicken broccoli, sweet and sour chicken and my absolute favorite garlic beef. Prices are excellent and portions are ample. You could eat in the restaurant but that’s not what this place is all about. It’s a to-go place. They only take cash which is fine by me.
Parking: Strip mall with plenty of parking.“

“I have been ordering from Leus for 15 years now. I realized today that I have never reviewed and wow, do they deserve it. The owners are the absolute sweetest and most gracious couple. Their selection- from their orange chicken, chicken sticks, to their sushi rolls, to my favorite staple of fried rice and egg rolls, ALL of it is unmatched. Seriously, I could eat just their egg rolls and be thrilled. I order from them every single time I am in the area. They are the only place I have no doubt whatever I try, it will be super tasty and be made with love.
Sometimes waits are longer, so it’s good to order ahead — but believe me, be patient, they are worth it!!!“

“Food is great I've ordered there a couple times already. they don't deliver to me and I'm only 3.4 miles away so I have to go through grubhub which raises the prices on the items when ordering which is terrible. Otherwise, I recommend them so far the best Asian food in Schaumburg.“

“I went here for dinner and took home pepper steak, shrimp fried rice and chow foon. All was delicious. Chow foon was the best Pad Thai noodles I’ve had so far. The veggies were crisp and the sauce was mild not too sweet. I would recommend coming here.“

“Whenever I try a new old style chinese restaurant, I get shrimp with lobster sauce and bbq pork something, like bbq pork fried rice or vegetables, etc.
Shrimp with lobster sauce is a very nostalgic food for me. It was something I tried 15~ish years ago from this small chinese restaurant near work. It was $5.45 lunch specials at the time, and I wanted to try something other than monglian beef, generals Tsao chicken etc.
And i fell in love ever since.
I love brown starch sauce that is made with, and it needs to have black beans and stripes of pork and egg. But some restaurants tend to make this with white sauce with pea and ground pork, or just not enough salt or msg.
Well, this place make it perfectly how I wanted, and less than 9 bucks. You can't beat this deal.
The only thing to critize is that chicken fried rice was not good...it was dry and maybe a day old.
Bbq pork was also really good, cut thick the way I also like it. You can taste rice oyster sauce, and vegetables were cooked well.
It definitely reminded me of the old spot that I loved and will be coming back to try more dishes.“

“Not meant as a dine-in location but they do have a couple small tables. The staff is extremely friendly and they remember you. Their food is reasonably priced and very good. I like no MSG on my food, and they always comply. This is one of only three places I will go anymore for oriental food. ?“
“Food was great. Ate on location with colleagues first. Pass the taste test. Talked to Yan. She was very friendly and helpful with my catering questions. Ordered catering for 80 people. Delivery was on time. Food received great review. It was more than enough to feed 80. Will cater again in the future.“

Congrats on the having an amazing team.“
