“This is the best place for Chinese food! They give you such huge portions and for the price you can’t beat it! The food is always extremely hot and you can tell they make it all fresh! Me and my family have been going here for awhile now and never had a complaint! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“5 stars for service, food and overall experience! If I could rate it 10, I would. Food was outstanding. Great flavor and perfect temperature and wow, the service we received was amazing by our waiter, JULIA. She was the absolute sweetest and made our experience 10 times better. I had not been to this location but myself and my husband were blown away and will be back. My kids and whole family loved it and even forgot to take pics. Thanks JULIA you were amazing with us especially our little Luca who we were celebrating his 2nd birthday!

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly! We went with our 8 month and 2 year old kids and they enjoyed the experience.“

“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.“

“Love this place. Food is delicious 😋“

“We came from Wisconsin to ouck up food from this joint!!! the food is STRAIGHT!!! DELICIOUS!!! Henry was very hospitable and a great person!!! thank you Henry for the great food!!! It was worth the 2 hour drive!!! we will be back!!!“

“Normally go to moy3 in New Lenox every year for our birthday. My son and I are on the same day. But do to hours at Moe's we had to go elsewhere. Happy we did, moy yen you knocked it out of the park! Food was fabulous service great price the same. And not one person did not enjoy.. Thank you u for a great birthday dinner“

“Uncle Zhang’s is definitely my under the radar Chinese food spot in the city that is highly under rated. Hands down it is the best Chinese food in the city! The eggplant and the sweet and sour pork out of this world! The fact that no place I have been to makes the sweet and sour pork like they do makes them innovators since it’s hands down the best l dish! Most of the dishes are Cantonese style. So, if you like that style give Uncle Zhang’s a try!“

“I was told by a friend about this place and I decided to try it I was very happy with my food I got the moo sho pork which is my favorite Chinese dish it was very authentic and delicious the portions are fantastic I could have feed two people with the order .they have an extensive menu which I'm looking forward to trying this place blows away chi tung .“

“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 does a lot more and take out and delivery that it does sit down. So don't let the fact that it doesn't seem like a bunch of people are in there fool you, the place is excellent! This is one of the most reasonably priced places you can get a ton of food! If you haven't had soup dumplings before you've got to! The staff is always in a good mood and ready to help! Everything I've had on the menu has been amazing! If you're looking for a simple noodle dish, or something elaborate, this place has everything! On a budget night when you're not interested in cooking but don't want to break the bank, put this on the list!“

“Love the new restaurant and was so happy to see Mort!“

“Small no dining great food! Also you don't wait long unless you order a lot but clean I hate they are cash only a Lil dangerous but who am I! Decent prices and food always hot n fresh from what I experience just ate there tonight orange chicken and spicy fried rice can't go wrong!“

“First time ordering from this place and I was surprised when I was in their menu Chinese BBQ ribs! They were tender and well seasoned. The rice with chicken was great you don’t need any additional side with it since the rice itself is delicious.“

“I went here 4 times in one month, because it really is that good. This is one of the few Chinese restaurants left in Chicago where the "sifu" really knows what they are doing--as in, truly is a master in technique and flavor. Everything I tried, was delicious. Some of their specialties, wide chicken and potato noodles, smoked pork pancakes, lamb dill dumplings, buckwheat dumplings, and crispy duck, are incredible not-to-be-missed dishes. But common favorites like crispy eggplant, salt and pepper shrimp, and shredded potato salad are done superbly here too. It's never too packed, and they are very considerate to families with small children. Be kind to to serving staff, you can tell it really is a family business and language can be tricky. They accidentally took down a lamb dish we didn't order but promptly took it back when the mistake was explained. I am going to keep coming back as often as I can, and make fans out of as many friends as possible.“

“We had been going to the old Chinatown location for many years till the new places opened on Halsted. Really liked the self serving style. Staff is friendly and food is fresh with lots of choices. Price is great. The new restaurant is spacious and well ventilated. Very enjoyable dining experience.“

“I love this place, DO NOT GO TO MOES, Li's uses a variety of vegetables in their food where as MOES does not use anything but celery. So if you want to get your moneys worth and get good Chinese food with amazing portion sizes go here! The protein is always cooked properly, they do not use a whole bottle of soy on their rice like most places which is good, they seem to use low sodium and little to non MSG. SO HERE!“

“If I could give the service 10/5 stars I would. Not only is the food some of the best around. They are amazing in service, kindness. This is a place I’ve gone to for a good while. I can’t help but rave about them. If you want some great Chinese come here!!“

“I dined in with a friend and it was our first time here. We both ordered from their Combination Special Lunch Plate Menu.

I ordered the Kung Po Chicken, which included an egg roll and choice of steamed white rice, fried rice, or noodles. I chose the fried rice and my friend had the General Tso's Chicken with fried rice. I will leave it to him to review his own dish should he so choose.

The server brought the egg rolls in advance of serving our entrees and rice. They were piping hot, the hottest I've ever experienced. The outer crust was crispy, not soft and greasy as many of my prior experiences elsewhere have often been. The inside was chock full of tasty ingredients.

We also had their hot and sour soup, which was quite good. It was a nice sized portion for the price and had an abundance of stock.

When our main dishes arrived, they were piping hot and exceptionally generous servings, both in terms of the entree portions and the rice.

My Kung Po Chicken had plenty of chicken along with other ingredients. It was flavorfully seasoned, and spicy, just as their menu indicated. The fried rice was also good. Complimentary hot tea was also provided, which we enjoyed as well.

All this for $9.15 per plate. [Note their online menu showed $10.95, but it was actually $9.15. Even at $10.95 it would have been a good value, but at $9.15 it was a great value, the best I've experienced in quite awhile.]

This was our first time here and likely not our last. It is real close to Midway Airport, which makes it handy when traveling in/out of town.

The service was friendly and efficient, and things were served up in a timely fashion. I highly recommend you giving it a try. If you do, and you don't find it as good as another place you've been, please comment so I can give your reccomendation a try, as I'm always up for exceptional Chinese cuisine.

Well done, New China Tea! Looking forward to coming back!“

“My favorite place to get Chinese food! I’ve tried soooo many different places and keep coming back to this location whenever I visit my dad’s place in the burbs. I live in the city now and have tried many places there as well, but wish there was a Chen’s like this near my place. The food here is fresh, high quality, filled with flavor, good texture and never fails to make me full with the portions they give. I still have leftovers for the next few days!“

“Take out order: Chicken Fried Rice (extra mushrooms & eggs) & Cashew Chicken (extra cashews). The ingredients were really fresh & the size was generous! It also came with a side of white rice & a few fortune cookies. Definitely would recommend!“

“It's always hot and delicious. And when they say it's ready at a certain time. It's ready. Plus if you pay with a card and they see you pull up they always come out and give it to you. Well they do that for me. Been going there forever“

“I love the excellent Chinese dishes, the price was very affordable and the customer service was excellent. I must say one of the best Chinese/ Japanese restaurants, I’ve ever been too. The cocktails were amazing. I will definitely be back and recommend to friends and family.“

“Food is fresh and excellent. I find it to be one of the best in the area. Non greasy, good flavor, service is ok, but when they attend to you, you have their undivided attention. I have been there a few times, and it does not vary. It is also very clean, with large tables and booths.“

“Good taste, good service, very clean if in a place that I recommend 😋😋😋“

“This place is wonderful. I got the curry chicken, jumbo shrimp fried rice and egg rolls. Yummo .. plus last Christmas we did the Christmas Story and ordered lots of different foods. That was the best. So this year I'll be ordering food again for Christmas. Delicious ???

Vegetarian options: Just state vegetarian. Do not add any meat.

Kid-friendliness: Always has a smile. Even when the room is packed“

“This was my first time ordering from here after my last spot fell off and wow was the food AMAZING. It has been a while since I had some real good Chinese food. They were quick with the delivery, very nice on the phone and delivery driver was super patient. (I couldn’t find my shoes) lol I never write reviews but I had to with this one!“

“Hate that missing ingredients on a topical dish remember few years back when they have vegetables and egg on dry rice, now not even the smell please honor our business don be cheap is paying for not a mercy or free food. That is an insult to my intelligence and my wallet... Please take care. I do not wanted stop coming in to your place. Pst veggies are not plus is add flavor to any meal....... Thanks.....“

“Chicken fried rice, extra dark, extra spicy. Flame. � � �.“

“My family and I traveled to Chicago twice this year and dined at the Asian Cuisine Express both times. The owner, cooks and wait staff were all extremely friendly and made each of our visits a wonderful experience. We ordered Chinese and Japanese food and we also sampled some of their new delicious tacos... everything we tried was absolutely fantastic. We live 300 miles away so we ordered a lot of takeout to bring home with us to share with our friends who didn't get to make the trips. Asian Cuisine express will be a regular stop now for us every time we go to Chicago... we highly recommend everyone tries this restaurant and we can't wait until we visit there again. Thanks to all the great people at Asian Cuisine Express!!!“

“Excellent food every time. I just love Mushroom Egg Foo Young and they use fresh mushroom as well as all the food is good & fresh with the best ingredients!! This is the place for Asian Food with a menu that can’t be beat.“

“This is my Moms go to place for her Chinese food n delivery to Sr.Suites of Midway..I've tried it many times w/ my mom.. So I decided that's where I wanted to go. Never judge a book by its cover.. The lady was super sweet n helpful,helping me with my order..with my total order was 25.00 nothing compared to my other places..I was really happy that she recommended I try Veggie Egg Foo Yung,boy was I satisfied. Customer service,is one of these most hardest jobs you can never satisfy everybody.. We all have a bad day,you don't know whether that person's order was egg rolls or Rangoon in 15 mins.. This is the reason our world is so ugly rn.. I'm going to order,rn 4 delivery n make sure I give the delivery guys 5.00 tip on top of delivery fee.its not much but better than any negativity.. Mrs King Chop Suey ur a great 1!“

“fantastic food, large portions“

“My family & I ordered the combination lo mein & fried rice. Also tried the orange chicken & crab ragoons. The food was hot & very generous portions. Try the jasmine tea, it was very delicious & im not a tea drinker!“

“I work nearby and wanted to check this place out, it’s close enough for me to just go pick it up. Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon and Spring Rolls are all delicious! I have tried the lunch specials too all priced right , the taste and quality and quantity of the food was perfect!? ?“

“Our long time search for GOOD Chinese food is over. Everything was delicious. We are first time customers and it was amazing! We had the beef n broccoli (so much flavor!) , the BBQ pork ?, pork fried rice (I added spicy oil n red pepper flakes), and egg roles. My roommate said this is so good. We need to remember the name. Easy enough. This is our new Chinese restaurant ? ? ?“

“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.“

“Nice and clean beef, the service is good, the food is fast and very delicious. The truth is, it was with my family and we loved all the food we ordered, it was very delicious. I recommend it. I will return. We loved it and the quantities are large.“

“My favorite Chinese restaurant and the most authentic in the suburbs. Our favorite dishes are the roast duck and double pan fried noodles which is the closest I've been able to find to my grandma's Cantonese cake noodles in all of Chicagoland.“

“I love this place! Their delivery is always super fast. The front staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious. I definitely recommend giving them a try.

Vegetarian options: The Szechwan vegetables and mixed Chinese vegetables are 10/10 delicious!“

“Excellent E-Fu noodles. BBQ pork fried rice is tasty and not greasy. String beans are fresh and crispy. Chicken noodle soup a bit bland. Portions are appropriate for price. Overall better than average, especially for the price. I'll be back for the E-Fu for sure.“

“Been going here since 1994. They were the best for a long time. Then something changed. For at least the last 15 years the food just doesn't taste that good. Keep going back every once n awhile to give another chance, but it's just not good. This will probably be the last time going here. It's a shame. They used to be sooo good! When everyone loved Lang Lee in Orland, I told them Dragon Palace blows them out of the water, way better.“

“Great little spot for take out or quick dine in and relax so far my meals have been delicious. The sweet and sour chicken and red sauce is good. The tofu with mixed vegetables is absolutely delicious. The spring rolls are good and so is the egg rolls. The plain fried rice is ok if I wasn't cheap and added meat id be more happy but delicious food and we are back for second round now will update later.

Vegetarian options: Great tofu and vegetables also have steamed food options for the lighter side“

“the service is bad, the lady taking orders is rude. BUT..the food and portions are good. I would get the lunch specials bc they don't have dinner special and you will save like 10 or more dollars w the lunch special..but the portions are huge“

“Really Chinese taste，street style and more.“

“Our Order:
Chicken Fried Rice
Beef Fried Rice
Orange Chicken
Beef Lo Mein
Spring Rolls

Walking in, you're welcomed by two doors. The outer door slams, leaving you with a jolt of fright and embarrassment. The inner door opens you to what can be described as a small ma and pop shop with two visible tables and 4 seats each; making this a carryout spot but, leaving you with a seat or two if you're on lunch and looking to rest for a bit while eating. I'm pretty sure this was the first time I've eaten food from this restaurant but I am certain, after tonight, it won't be the last.

When it comes to eating Chinese cuisine, I usually have to prepare myself for sodium overload. That wasn't the case here. Every dish prepared for us was cooked perfectly. I could actually taste the other flavors they cooked into their food aside from salt which I've come to associate with most food from Chinese restaurants I've eaten at. The Orange Chicken was also really really good but, diabetics beware, it is extremely sweet; so make sure you have that insulin pen ready for after your meal. I should also mention that their food portions are very generous.

One other thing of note: I scheduled my food to be ready 30 minutes before my arrival. I showed up 5 minutes early and they were still cooking my order. The owner explained to me that they made sure to cook the food as close to the time of arrival as possible to make sure it's still hot by the time I got home with it; given that I show up on time. Most places just cook and let it sit until you show up so I think that was really cool of them.

All in all, I really enjoyed their food and if you're looking for a small ma and pop place that values good and fresh food, you've hit the nail on the head here.“

“5 stars to a "generic Chinese food restaurant"? Am I crazy? Is this some secret haute cuisine spot hidden in plain sight?Naw.But I'll say this: Eat Rice has served my family meals for the better part of 5+ years (if not more). The prices are fair, the portions are large, and the quality is always as desired. The menu is traditional American/Chinese fare: egg rolls and other fried apps, soups, and pork/beef/shrimp dishes abound.The staff is friendly and efficient. There's parking across the street. And you get almond cookies in your bag if you order as much as we do. LOL.“

“The boba tea was AMAZING!! It’s much cheaper compared to other places like Chinatown etc. Their rooms are very cozy & have a lot of charging ports perfect for studying! The workers are super sweet and nice! Helping me with my orders, etc. Their bathrooms are extremely clean- I’m so surprised a place like this exists in Halsted!
Their orange chicken was very yummy! Honestly I prepare the Panda Express ones more but it’s so much cheaper! A huge bowl for only about 10$ + veggies!!
Belly bowl is my new guilty pleasure.“

“Nice spot if you want some quick and good Chinese food I stopped here while I took a Break while doing a concreting coating estimate just ask for a little msg don’t be scared ask for hot oil ASK FOR THE THEIR SPECIALS great food great service great prices very friendly cashiers

Parking: Huge parking lot at a strip mall in the corner

Kid-friendliness: Kids can come out and wait with you but it’s a quick pick up“

“I'll start with the food being pretty good, plenty of variety, two soft drink machines, the employees very attentive to everything! But!!!!! The price.... super expensive, $20.99 each adult and I paid 10 dollars each for my 3 and 4 year old girls. I think with how expensive it is they can remodel the bathrooms and keep an employee cleaning the bathrooms at least every hour during the restaurant's peak hours. Otherwise I'm not complaining because the food was pretty good!“

“Pretty Good! I had the Singapore Noodles and Crab Rangoon. I really liked the veggies in the noodles, however it wasn't alot of chicken and shrimp throughout. Also ordered beef fried rice. 3 items..$37.00. They are a bit pricey! Definitely have a lot of leftovers.“
