$8 delivery charge.Food is good.But 8 bucks to bring food less than 2 miles is unacceptable
We tried a variety of food: pork fried rice, crab Rangoon, mapo tofu, and tonkotsu ramen. The day-of everything was good, but we didn't have room for the ramen and we put it in the fridge for a couple days. Today we reheated it and ate it after 3 day in the fridge and it was astonishingly good. This longevity bespeaks high quality ingredients, and the taste tells the same story. 10/10 would recommend
Definitely one of the worst Chinese food restaurants in the area! I have not enjoyed the food here before, but I decided to give it one more try.The egg rolls had barely any filling. The hot and sour soup was awful. It was definitely more on the sour side too. The hunan chicken was good, but not great. The BBQ pork kung po was not flavorful and tasted like a freezer meal. The pork was fatty too. The presentation was not great with hunky pieces of protein and thin sauces in both entrees. Will not be eating from them again.
I've had food from this place multiple times and I really enjoy it. But extremely disappointed in their service today. I ordered several lunch specials off their lunch menu on UberEats. Because it was close to 3 they marked all the items in my order as unavailable so I chose to cancel the order. Don't make your lunch menu available till 3pm if you are unwilling to fulfill the orders.
The food is really good. I didn't have a problem with my order, my friend wanted General Tso's tofu but it wasn't on the menu, But she requested it since tofu was on the menu and they still made it for her. Crispy and tasted good, restaurant was clean. I would highly recommend more people come here and try it out, it was strange seeing how empty it was.
Some of the better Chinese takeout in the area. It's nothing special and might be a bit below what you're used to. It's surprisingly difficult to find a good Chinese takeout nearby.
The vegetable Miso Ramen never disappoints! One of my favorite places to order from in Forest Park ?
Today 10/292022 I walked in to place my order, both people a man and a woman WATCHED me walk in and I stood there someone else was going to take my order. After a couple minutes, the phone rang and the man walked from the kitchen took the order over the phone A BIG ORDER mind you WHILE I HAD BEEN STANDING THERE, and then walked off. He then said what you want I expressed my issues about waiting and he told me "No! You get out I don't take your order I am too busy for complaints! ? I said your yelling at me because your customer service is bad? He YELL AND SAID NO I WONT TAKE YOUR ORDER!!! YOU PROPLE ALWAYS COMPLAIN!" I said okay. A woman and gentleman walked in I short formed my incident and they too walked out. I can't tell no one what to do, but I've been to this place 4 times and thus us the 2nd time I have received bad service. #ShameOnMe This happened at 1158am on a Beautiful Saturday.
The worst shrimp in lobster sauce, had six shrimps and all sauce with no taste and the Mongolian beef had no sauce or meat but all onions. Never had Chinese food that taste like this. The worst 24.00 I have spent on Chinese food.I will not never go back there again! Scared to even try the fried rice??♀️
Best Asian food in the area. I absolutely recommend this great restaurant, the people working there are so very nice.

The service is top notch, food is incredible, and they have a diverse beer selection. The servers are great at pairing beer and wines to dishes.
Everything was pretty bland. I had beef broccoli, shrimp fried rice and chicken with peapods.My son had sweet and sour chicken. The outside looked a beautiful golden brown but it was way undercooked. The inside was gooey batter. Don't get me wrong, I've had similar batter dipped chicken at other places that was slightly undercooked but still good.Unfortunately these felt totally gross in my mouth.The cheesecake was amazing. Sweet and smooth. I don't know what it was but it wasn't Eli's, which I'm not really a fan of.The mango smoothie was okay. Kind of boring. Not enough flavor.The fries were excellent. Fresh.The soy sauce was my favorite part. I wanted to buy a bottle because they had some for sale but they told me that the soy sauce they were selling isn't the same stuff that's in the bottles they fill at the table.The service wasn't great. Lots of Chicago attitude. They seem very angry and annoyed about their jobs.I will never come back here and it has nothing to do with the service. I love Chinese food and this did not hit the Asian spot in my heart.
First, I ordered two order of Pork ramen and received one order. We were dinning in. Secondly it took forever for the second bowl to come out. The waiter was wearing a white tank top and shorts…. Like this is not professional at all and at that he couldn’t take my order right. The noodles were over cooked and the ramen was very very bland. I asked for spicy noodles and received a bowl of disappointment for sure. The glass of water tasted very bitter as thought the cup was cleaned with some kind of cleaning chemical.I should have guessed when the place was empty that the food wasn’t good.In a two hour period I saw only two dishes come out of the entire restaurant.Save your money and don’t come here. I didn’t even want to pay for the meal after one bite.Like to add that we did not receive any utensils or napkins with our food. I had to go up to the counter 3 times. First for the second bowl of ramen that the waiter seemed to have forgotten at the counter but to him having a task that caused him to leave the building entirely in the midst of serving customers. Second time was for the utensils and third was for the napkins. I just don’t understand what happened here. I will never be going back and hopefully I warned someone.
Some of the best Chinese food we've ever had! The sweet and sour chicken is to die for! Friendly staff and great service.
So there is *peanut butter* in the egg rolls, which should be in bold letters somewhere on the menu. Yes, I know Chinese food often has peanuts but the individuals who bought and served the food to my 9yo son didn't think about this (and a lot of people might not) and he took a bite of an eggroll. Immediate allergic reaction with lips swelling, projectile vomiting, took allergy pills and fortunately didn't have to use an EpiPen. These days most establishments, even ethnic ones, try to let customers know when there are extreme allergens in the food, like slathering an egg roll with peanuts.
