Recently found this small Asian restaurant and was pleasantly surprised! Delicious food, healthy plant based options and very friendly owner. Family owned business for 30 years. Highly recommend!

Super delicious, it remind me the Chinese food from venezuela very good, their costumer service is amazing very caring and polite. It's not a fancy restaurant it's very humble and their food it's amazing 100% recommended.

I usually get Pad Thai & egg rolls & they are beyond delicious. Generous portion of entree, always have leftovers.

Such a nice place. The food exceptional and very tasty. The owner / manager didn’t think I would like what I ordered so he recommended something else. Same ingredients. Different spices and sauce and noodles. I loved what he brought me. If your in doubt. Ask him. Tell him what you like. He will make it. Even if not on the menu. The crab Rangoon is amazing fried rice is good. You can add what meats or seafood you like to make it better to your liking. Place lets you sit where you like. And your served personally. Asked if Al was good. And given boxes to bring home leftovers All with a simple smile. Wish they played some music in the background. Really quiet inside the resturant.Parking: Spots aren’t numbered. But lots of place to park. Private lot. Gas station next door. Close to shopping

Ordered take out, fried rice and beef chow mein, poorly prepared and un appetizing! Looks like the chef didn’t show up and they grabbed somebody walking by to cook. Will never ever order from here again and wouldn’t recommend to my enemies. Have been inside for dine in once, food wasn’t bad at that time, however the interior is a dump and smells.

It's a dive Asian restaurant but it's authentic. If you're not into the hole in the wall vibes, stay away. I didn't like my food; I don't like zucchini. In no way does that reflect on the restaurant or service. The guy (and little one) taking orders were friendly and helpful. I would recommend this to ppl.

The food is excellent.The hot sour soup is the absolute BEST, around. Plenty of ingredients, not just spicy egg drop soup.

We’ve been getting take out here for years now. We love it. The Pad Thai and the General Tso’s are great. Howie is awesome.

Food was ok. Thick sauce clouds a lot of the flavors.

one of my most extraordinary and surprising culinary experiences northwest of Chicago in Thai food.A restaurant without pretensions in its image but the food and service are extraordinary and the prices super fair…The lady who served us was super friendly and very attentive to our needs even though we are not Asian, with great patience she gave us excellent advice on requesting portions suitable for two people.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps to enter and it has ample parking.

This place is a bit of a hidden gem on this side of Elgin. If you're looking for good oriental food, this is the place to order from. The beef fried rice is prepared in a way I haven't found anywhere else. It is hands down the best I've had. You won't be disappointed.

I asked for the papaya salad and requested to be light on spicy. It was crazy spicy...it was terrible regardless. Server offered sticky rice and I asked if it came together...so sure. There was an extra charge of $5 for the rice which was also terrible. Shrimp on the menu said $2 and I was charged $3...it was overall a terrible experience, terrible food...my friend had the pad thai and it was decent but like...If you can't make such a popular dish right, you should just do something else. I will never come back.
