Food tasted good. Unfortunately my girlfriend with a nut allergy had an allergic reaction after eating the veggie egg roll & tofu fried rice. Assuming possible cross contamination since no nuts were listed among either item on the menu

Their lunch special is perfect and food was very yummy. Exactly what you’d want from a neighborhood Chinese spot

Tried this Chinese restaurant recently and ordered the Broccoli Beef and Kung Pao Chicken. Both were flavorful, but the Broccoli Beef stood out, it had a great tender beef and broccoli in a savory sauce. The Kung Pao Chicken was fine, though not as memorable.
We went during lunch and got their lunch special, which is a solid deal. It includes your entrée, fried rice, and one big egg roll, definitely enough to fill you up.
The inside of the restaurant is quite small with limited seating, so it seems like most people opt for takeout. Not the place for a dine-in experience, but a good option if you’re looking for a quick and satisfying Chinese takeout meal.

Worst food I've ever had. Spent over 60 to get barely anything and ya would think it would be good. Got more broccoli then chicken. My boyfriends foot tasted like straight cat piss...

Great food! It was pretty empty, but they had a flow of orders to go. Service was okay, not as attentive, considering we were the only ones in there. Great portions!

This place is amazing! The egg rolls are absolutely delicious—crispy and full of flavor. Their crab rangoon is spot on, perfectly creamy and crispy. And don’t even get me started on their fruit smoothies—every single one I've tried has been fantastic! Whether it's for a quick lunch or dinner, this spot never disappoints. Highly recommend!
Does this hit the mark for you?

Dine-in is OPEN!!! And Lane is giving it his best. Food was just as I remember it from 1993-2020: savory, delectably spicy, and delicious. Service was fantastic. There is no Chinese food like here. If Lane listens to constructive feedback and makes those legitimate tweaks that respectful low-star eaters have made, Mon Lung will be THE BEST CHINESE CUISINE RESTAURANT IN CHICAGO. They are very, very busy, so cut them some slack. They are only human like you and me. Don’t walk in here with an attitude and demanding. Running a business like he is, is tough. Imagine having to put on a smile for 300 people in and out every day. Have some compassion, but also do yourself a favor and give them another chance. You won’t be disappointed.
Everything you expect from an original Chinese restaurant. What really blew me away was the attentive service, usually service is a hit or miss for me in Asian restaurants. On top of all that my two favorite things were the Wong tong soup and the beef fried rice. I appreciate that their lunch special came with rice and an egg roll. All the food I tried was delicious and I can't wait to go back.
