Came first lunch today. Ordered wonton soup- soup a bit bland, but wontons were flavorful. Dumpling and chili sauce on the table helped to add more depth and flavor. Ordered the roast pork- yummy meat and crunchy skin. Also, I ordered the beef chow fun- flat rice noodles with soy sauce and onions, green onions, and bean sprouts - nice char on noodles and beef was tender. Garlic eggplant was delicious- sauce was not overly sweet, and the chili oil on the table added a bit of heat. Could not leave without taking home the roast duck and BBQ pork.
The service is very poor and it is run in a strange style. You can see that the price of the dish, not the market price or street price, changes at the discretion of the server.And when I asked him to recommend something suitable for two people to eat, he gave me a strange recommendation. The service doesn't seem worth it. Also, Yeong Chow fried rice was the worst in America.The recommended menu is duck, and we recommend to-go or take-out. Duck is one of the best tasting ducks in all of America.

Our food came out quick but cold. We were also charged more than the menu price and they refused to honor the menu prices. They also employ child labor. I should have listened to my instincts when an 8-year-old led us to our table; shame on me for not doing so.

Was practically empty inside when we went on a Friday after they re-opened following their staff lunch. Had the Beijing Duck Feast. Not on the menu. It was amazing. They roll out the roasted duck and slice it at the table for you. Duck fried rice, baos, and a duck broth accompany the feast. Highly recommend the feast.Parking: Paid parking lot is right next to the restaurant. About $14 for 2 hours.
Ordered a Peking duck dinner for $70. The duck we were served was roasted with soft wet skin. When I asked the server about it she said that this was how the restaurant cooks it. If you are looking for a real crispy Peking duck look elsewhere.

Most unpleasant experience I've had at a restaurant in my life so far. We called the restaurant to see if they could sit a party of 20, which they said they could. When we arrived they informed us that we had to leave in an hour and a half because they had another party scheduled. Their attitude was very unwelcoming and rude. We had menus thrown on the table and snatched. They refused us the dessert menu because they told us we wouldn't finish eating dessert before the other party came in even though we still had half an hour left. If it wasn't because we had already paid for parking and driven an hour to get to the place we would have left. The food was not worth the experience.

AMAZING DUCK DINNER. Comes with literally anything you'd want- soup, fried rice, bund, and accompaniments to make a perfect little sandwich! This is my go-to spot for duck now

One of the Best Meals of My Life + Incredible Service, Thoughtfulness, and TalentI went to Sun Wah for a luncheon with the Illinois Mycological Association and I was blown away by how delicious the 10-course vegetarian mushroom-themed meal was!! I’ve eaten a lot of Chinese food in my life (my last name is Li if you know what I mean), and this meal would be one of few that will be remembered for the rest of my life. My kids are extremely picky eaters and usually hate eating mushrooms, but they ate so much! Everything was so yummy but my personal top 3 favorites were the “Pan fried vegetarian tofu rolls - tarp paste wrapped with yuba”, “Overflowing golden nest - mushroom and mango stir fry with yellow tofu”, and the “beech mushroom medley".Someone at the luncheon asked if any dish doesn’t have oyster sauce. Upon learning this allergy, Kelly, the restaurant manager and host of the luncheon told her 3 out of the 10 dishes didn’t have oyster sauce. But 3 minutes later Kelly came back saying the chef decided to swap all the oyster sauce with soy sauce so she could enjoy everything!!! How thoughtful, kind, and talented is that!!! And even with this last minute change, everything still was superb!!! I hope the dishes we ate today will be on their permanent menu. One dish even had bamboo sponge, which is something I had never eaten in a Chinese restaurant in the U.S. before!!! What a treat everything was!!

We were in the neighborhood as dropped our daughter off at a concert so wanted to kill some time and after looking at the reviews we decided to try this place out. Upon entering the lady asked if we had a reservation and we said no but it wasn't that packed so we got a table. The place is nothing fancy, probably needs some updating! A lot of different waitresses take your order and seem hurried. My hubby had the seafood combination. The noodles were cold but after mixing it and adding soy sauce it was edible. I ordered the roasted pork and duck over rice and could not eat my food as it was too gamey for me and just the after taste still gives me nightmares. I really do not know how people eat these whole ducks if that is what it tastes like. The waitresses asked if we wanted to take our food to go, no thank you! My husband also went to use the bathroom and he said it was not clean. Definitely not coming back!
