“Great food, my wife and I had the Hunan beef and Beef fun. Very delicious wel portioned and not at all oily. Very flavorful. Staff is cordial snd helpful. Hope this restaurant stays open for a long time, definately will be going back. YUM!“

“Scrumptious!!! Huge portions!! Will definitely return!!“

“I came here specifically for the Orange Chicken, and it did not disappoint at all. The sauce is perfectly balanced—not too sweet, not too sour—and the chicken stays crispy even after being coated. Portion size is generous, and the staff is very welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back again.“

“I feel they have an old school chinese restaurant vibe with a tasty american and szechwan menu. It’s true that their menu is different, there used to be more american chinese, but they made a smaller menu and added dishes that looks more authentic szechwan. We ordered kung pao chicken, ma po tofu, and cucumber salad. We have been customers for several years and even though the menu has changed they have always been delicious. we paid $58 for food for 3-4 people. *edit to 4 stars: we only got one rice for two entrees (kung pao and ma po) and there feels like a lot of salt, like more than usual?“

“Good place to eat“

“Good local food spot for tacos, burritos, quesadillas etc. I went an hour after opening so they didn't have steak or birria available.

Quesadilla was hot fresh and tasted great good cheese to chicken ratio. Salsa was watery so I feel like it didn't pair well with the quesadilla, more like a hot sauce.“

“The foods are delicious and sweet and sour shrimps delicious 2“

“So grateful for the gluten-free options offered here. I enjoyed the chicken Mei fun and sweet and sour chicken.“

“Very good Chinese food 🍱 best in the neighborhood:)“

“Very friendly atmosphere on top of their great food.“

“Loved the food here! I went here with friends and family for the first time, very memorable! We went as a larger group of around 12 people. At first the staff told us that we would have to wait 30 minutes, but instead they decided to push a few tables together—so we could sit. It was very kind and thoughtful of them!! I absolutely loved the food, the sanji and dumplings being my absolute favorite! My least favorite dish was the chili pepper chicken, it tasted acidic and me and my friends ate the rice rather the chicken. Its personal preference though, so you might like it! The atmosphere was very nice and personally very cute in numerous ways!“

“Been going here for over 45 years and never had one bad meal. The remodeled restaurant is fantastic and very comfortable.“

“I ordered from Rose's for the 1st time today. Absolutely delicious food! My ordered was delivered quickly and was piping hot I highly recommend Rose's 🌹“

“Asian Bistro is hands down one of the best Asian restaurants I’ve been to in Illinois.

The food was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and incredibly satisfying, every bite left me wanting more. The chicken with chili peppers was easily the standout and one of the best dishes I’ve ever had.

The service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and checked in often while also offering great recommendations.

The ambiance was just as impressive. The setting matched the quality of the food, with a clean, vibrant atmosphere and well-thought-out décor.

Overall, I’ll definitely be coming back, this place is a standout.“

“I grew up in Brunei and their food is the closest i have felt to home. I ordered the Nasi Lemak, kuih lapis and roti paratha.“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“I had an amazing experience at Hong Huah. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious every dish we tried was full of flavor and clearly made with care.

The owners, Arnold and his dad, are some of the kindest and most welcoming people we’ve ever met. They truly make you feel like family with their friendliness and warmth.

I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner. If you’re looking for great food and even better service, this is definitely the place to go!“

“The guy that answered the phone and took my order could have sounded like he was interested or at least a little bit friendly. Other than that I do have to say they're sweet and sour chicken is probably the best around. They're fried rice is also delicious. It's been a while since I was there so when I go back I'll update on the next dish that I get. All in all it's definitely good food.“

“great people, food is great and the portions of the food is awesome“

“Love ... love ... love ... this gem of a local restaurant. Just changed my favorite dish from Beef and Broccoli to Lucky 7. Always order Egg Rolls and Hong Kong Fried Rice.“

“The food is good but make sure to check your bag I tipped and asked her did she put soy sauce in the bag and she said yes knowing she didn’t and I have a large shrimp fried rice for little ones and no sauce ugh I’m more mad at the lie if it was a accident then ok but for me ask and tip and not get what I asked for is a slap in the face!“

“The best takeout Chinese food in the area.
Never disappointed and Ma's has the best egg rolls.
Everything on the menu is delicious!
Ma's Oriental is takeout only.
The cleanliness of the establishment, freshness of the ingredients and fast FRIENDLY service is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Definitely the best egg rolls we've had in a while!“

“This place is one of the best restaurants I've been to in the northern suburbs, it's hard to find good Sichuan style Chinese food but this place has it. I got the twice cooked chili fish was my favorite dish, the Mongolian beef had thick cuts of tender beef and seafood garlic fried rice was full of shrimp scallops mussels and fish. The menu has so much to choose from, I look forward to visiting again“

“Very good and tasty food. Friendly service. Loved the sweet and sour shrimp..“

“Food was pretty good in you're in a pinch, plus they open early. The interior is cozy and neat and their service was quick and amicable. Ordered chicken curry, chicken fried rice, and a couple of eggrolls. The eggrolls were pretty standard and the fried rice was tasty, albeit just a bit too oily, and the chicken curry was fragrant and scrumptious but not as spicy as I would have preferred. Overall, quite decent. Cheers!“

“Cashew Chicken & Egg Rolls Delicious👍🧡😋“

“Love their panang curry chicken!“

“Really reasonable must try“

“I’ve moved from Chicago to Melrose Park, and it’s been hard trying to find a good Chinese place that has good spice, not sweet spice. Best place in the area to get spicy fried rice, lady who takes the order is really nice and they get the order done fast.“

“It’s my first time at this restaurant. It was recommended by my wife's brother. I order the BBQ Ribs and the jumbo shrimp Lo Mien ! My wife ordered the Mongolian Beef! The ribs were juicy, sweet and full of meat and the Lo Mien was cooked perfectly, the shrimp was juicy and full of flavor! This restaurant is a 10/10! 5 stars isn’t enough!“

“Quiet hole in the wall spot with some of the best food in the area. The owner is kind and works really hard to make quality food. A lot of Chinese American restaurants can have a sort of mass produced feel and use the same suppliers but you can tell a lot of love and pride goes into the food here.“

“My food was very yummy, the staff and service was also top notch!“

“I love this place.! The food has always delivered for me. I have been ordering from this place for a long time now. That being said recently I have noticed that the smoky chicken that I absolutely love from this place (no other place around me seems to have smoky chicken option) has had a bit of a texture change from how it used to be sometime ago. It seems to be a little more fried/crunchy rather then tender which is where it is the most delicious. I can't describe it exactly but I know it does not have the same texture as it once did. It is still very good regardless and I will continue to get it but I hope this gets seen and maybe offer some kind of explanation but I recommend this place!“

“The food have an incredible taste to be in the states....really really good food the only thing is the cashiers are always like in a bad mood, they are not greeting nice people is a shame because the food is awesome....would be nice they have like a better attitude with they, customers....if people are going to pay to eat outside their homes is to have a good time , you can't have a good time if you're visiting a restaurant with employees that are always like in a bad mood, like Not welcoming people... just saying“

“First time and we will definitely be back! Everything was delicious. Starting veggie spring rolls. 2nd pan fried pork pot stickers. Small pork fried rice, and lastly Beef and pea pods. All cooked perfectly. Had enough food for 2 dinners for both of us! Reasonably priced too.“

“Kind of expensive. Cabbage with a few drops of bacon $16.. two small spicy hotpot fish didn't taste so fresh sliced into 4 filets $50. Overall atmosphere is good and clean and plates are brought out by robots first before the server put them on the table. Overall probably would go back again but not ordering those two items.“

“I've been going here for 7 years and they've never disappointed. There's more meat than noodle in my combination pad thai and they pack it in. This will feed me 3-4 times!

Amazing job, my favorite Chinese takeout.“

“Great selection of entrees. Crab Rangoon (yum!)! Super nice family runs it. Friendly service. 4 tables, so primarily take away, and not fancy, but they can accommodate you with a casual seating area if you want to dine in. Great portions, and beautifully cooked. Brown rice as an option, too.“

“Love the ambiance inside. Tiki beef is great, just wish it had more glaze on it, but otherwise I love beef on a stick. The egg rolls weren't the best i ever had, but id still eat them again, and the crab rangoon wasnt sweet enough, too much cream cheese, but we'd come back for more! Lovely lady at the front desk, she gave us free almond cookies and i love those things!“

“The athmosphere is clean, organized, quiet, fine dining & excellent food“
