I really wanted to give this place a better rating. We did the sweet and sour chicken, beef fried rice, and a “create your own” stir fry. The food was honestly really good until I found a hair in my food. I have blonde hair and the hair that I found was a shorter dark strand. They offered to make it again for me, but who would want to take that chance again after encountering that the first time around. I ended up just throwing the food out and unfortunately lost my appetite.

Excellent food and service. The best egg rolls I’ve ever had and their wonton soup and fried rice are to die for. Owner was extremely nice, too.

Not the type of authentic Chinese I am used to. Mongolian Beef very tough, crispy noodles instead of typically being underneath were crushed and sprinkled over the top. They were very crunchy like they were crushed raw/ never cooked. I have never seen carrots in a Mongolian beef? Ordered the combo with fried rice which had no taste, very dry, no bean sprouts. Egg roll was decently sized, but everything inside very crunchy. Maybe they have something better, but I didn't care for this dish. At 17 dollars for one meal, wish it was more flavorful. Person working the counter was very nice and meal was cooked very fast, was out the door in 5-6 min from ordering. No fork/napkins on a carry out order and no fortune cookie either.

I'm going through chemotherapy right now and a drop soup is amazing. It's the only thing I can swallow.

We ordered the dinner for two. Sweet and sour chicken was just fine. Mongolian beef was very bland. The beef was very tender but had no spice to it at all. We ordered crab rangoon and it had a lot of sugar in it.
Excellent tasting food. Large portions, so much so we have leftovers for dinner tomorrow. We tried their sizzling rice soup which had great flavor which included shrimp,chicken and pork with an abundance of vegetables. I went with my Mom and had 2 appetizers, shared the large soup (left overs there too) and our own main dishes and the Taro bubble drink. All for under $60. Unheard of these days! The services was quick and friendly. We landed up going here because our go to place was closed for a vacation. So glad we did because we found our new favorite place for Chinese food. I highly recommend you try their food.

First I'll tell you about the good. The restaurant itself is very appealing neat clean. Their staff is very friendly and attentive to your needs. Now, here is the not so good. First, the egg drop soup was very weak way too watery, and not enough egg. Next the crab rangoons. You get eight of them for about $8.00. They are small and doughy. With a little cream cheese and barely any imitation crab meat. Finally my entree was the mongolian beef. It was fair at best I have had so much better at other places. But more importantly was the size portion. It was meager in size. I've had lunch portions at other restaurants that had more meat than this dinner, which was about 15 bucks. Orient cafe is a hard pass for me maybe your results will be better.

Please note Dine in is only on the weekends after 4 pm.. Friday Saturday and Sunday. We gave a neutral star rating due to not being able to dine in so we didnt get to eat as deep fry foods wouldn't make the long trip home in the condition. Hopefully we will try again on a weekend.

I consider myself to be a Chinese food connoisseur and I have yet to find better food than the Orient Cafe in Homer Glen! The pricing is fair and the food is fantastic. The eat-in restaurant is very clean and comfortable with a very nice atmosphere.
Shrimp lobster sauce was delicious.
