“GREATEST CHINESE TAKE OUT SPOT IN THE AREA METHINKS ALWAYS HAVE A LIFE CHANGING EXPIERIENCE AFTER EATING THE ORANGE CHICKEN.... I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE WINGS CHINESE PALACE :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD“

“I was told by a friend about this place and I decided to try it I was very happy with my food I got the moo sho pork which is my favorite Chinese dish it was very authentic and delicious the portions are fantastic I could have feed two people with the order .they have an extensive menu which I'm looking forward to trying this place blows away chi tung .“

“Horrible food. Over priced and gross. Do not recommend. No flavor and what I ordered was definitely not what it was supposed to be. 🤮“

“Excellent food! Great friendliness great conversation! I Highly recommend! Fast Service!“

“Small no dining great food! Also you don't wait long unless you order a lot but clean I hate they are cash only a Lil dangerous but who am I! Decent prices and food always hot n fresh from what I experience just ate there tonight orange chicken and spicy fried rice can't go wrong!“

“I dined in with a friend and it was our first time here. We both ordered from their Combination Special Lunch Plate Menu.

I ordered the Kung Po Chicken, which included an egg roll and choice of steamed white rice, fried rice, or noodles. I chose the fried rice and my friend had the General Tso's Chicken with fried rice. I will leave it to him to review his own dish should he so choose.

The server brought the egg rolls in advance of serving our entrees and rice. They were piping hot, the hottest I've ever experienced. The outer crust was crispy, not soft and greasy as many of my prior experiences elsewhere have often been. The inside was chock full of tasty ingredients.

We also had their hot and sour soup, which was quite good. It was a nice sized portion for the price and had an abundance of stock.

When our main dishes arrived, they were piping hot and exceptionally generous servings, both in terms of the entree portions and the rice.

My Kung Po Chicken had plenty of chicken along with other ingredients. It was flavorfully seasoned, and spicy, just as their menu indicated. The fried rice was also good. Complimentary hot tea was also provided, which we enjoyed as well.

All this for $9.15 per plate. [Note their online menu showed $10.95, but it was actually $9.15. Even at $10.95 it would have been a good value, but at $9.15 it was a great value, the best I've experienced in quite awhile.]

This was our first time here and likely not our last. It is real close to Midway Airport, which makes it handy when traveling in/out of town.

The service was friendly and efficient, and things were served up in a timely fashion. I highly recommend you giving it a try. If you do, and you don't find it as good as another place you've been, please comment so I can give your reccomendation a try, as I'm always up for exceptional Chinese cuisine.

Well done, New China Tea! Looking forward to coming back!“

“Food is fresh and excellent. I find it to be one of the best in the area. Non greasy, good flavor, service is ok, but when they attend to you, you have their undivided attention. I have been there a few times, and it does not vary. It is also very clean, with large tables and booths.“

“I love the excellent Chinese dishes, the price was very affordable and the customer service was excellent. I must say one of the best Chinese/ Japanese restaurants, I’ve ever been too. The cocktails were amazing. I will definitely be back and recommend to friends and family.“

“My favorite place to get Chinese food! I’ve tried soooo many different places and keep coming back to this location whenever I visit my dad’s place in the burbs. I live in the city now and have tried many places there as well, but wish there was a Chen’s like this near my place. The food here is fresh, high quality, filled with flavor, good texture and never fails to make me full with the portions they give. I still have leftovers for the next few days!“

“First time ordering from this place and I was surprised when I was in their menu Chinese BBQ ribs! They were tender and well seasoned. The rice with chicken was great you don’t need any additional side with it since the rice itself is delicious.“

“Take out order: Chicken Fried Rice (extra mushrooms & eggs) & Cashew Chicken (extra cashews). The ingredients were really fresh & the size was generous! It also came with a side of white rice & a few fortune cookies. Definitely would recommend!“

“This place is wonderful. I got the curry chicken, jumbo shrimp fried rice and egg rolls. Yummo .. plus last Christmas we did the Christmas Story and ordered lots of different foods. That was the best. So this year I'll be ordering food again for Christmas. Delicious ???

Vegetarian options: Just state vegetarian. Do not add any meat.

Kid-friendliness: Always has a smile. Even when the room is packed“

“This was my first time ordering from here after my last spot fell off and wow was the food AMAZING. It has been a while since I had some real good Chinese food. They were quick with the delivery, very nice on the phone and delivery driver was super patient. (I couldn’t find my shoes) lol I never write reviews but I had to with this one!“

“The food here really taste like it’s made with love. The dirty rice and bourbon chicken were amazing. I highly recommend this place. Especially if you want something delicious and healthy.“

“Hate that missing ingredients on a topical dish remember few years back when they have vegetables and egg on dry rice, now not even the smell please honor our business don be cheap is paying for not a mercy or free food. That is an insult to my intelligence and my wallet... Please take care. I do not wanted stop coming in to your place. Pst veggies are not plus is add flavor to any meal....... Thanks.....“

“This is my Moms go to place for her Chinese food n delivery to Sr.Suites of Midway..I've tried it many times w/ my mom.. So I decided that's where I wanted to go. Never judge a book by its cover.. The lady was super sweet n helpful,helping me with my order..with my total order was 25.00 nothing compared to my other places..I was really happy that she recommended I try Veggie Egg Foo Yung,boy was I satisfied. Customer service,is one of these most hardest jobs you can never satisfy everybody.. We all have a bad day,you don't know whether that person's order was egg rolls or Rangoon in 15 mins.. This is the reason our world is so ugly rn.. I'm going to order,rn 4 delivery n make sure I give the delivery guys 5.00 tip on top of delivery fee.its not much but better than any negativity.. Mrs King Chop Suey ur a great 1!“

“Excellent food every time. I just love Mushroom Egg Foo Young and they use fresh mushroom as well as all the food is good & fresh with the best ingredients!! This is the place for Asian Food with a menu that can’t be beat.“

“My family & I ordered the combination lo mein & fried rice. Also tried the orange chicken & crab ragoons. The food was hot & very generous portions. Try the jasmine tea, it was very delicious & im not a tea drinker!“

“Our long time search for GOOD Chinese food is over. Everything was delicious. We are first time customers and it was amazing! We had the beef n broccoli (so much flavor!) , the BBQ pork ?, pork fried rice (I added spicy oil n red pepper flakes), and egg roles. My roommate said this is so good. We need to remember the name. Easy enough. This is our new Chinese restaurant ? ? ?“

“It's always hot and delicious. And when they say it's ready at a certain time. It's ready. Plus if you pay with a card and they see you pull up they always come out and give it to you. Well they do that for me. Been going there forever“

“Nice and clean beef, the service is good, the food is fast and very delicious. The truth is, it was with my family and we loved all the food we ordered, it was very delicious. I recommend it. I will return. We loved it and the quantities are large.“

“I was in the neighborhood, so I decided to try this place for their lunch special. It comes with shrimp fried rice, combination egg roll, and a few options for a main dish. I ordered the Mongolian beef. It was tasty, tender, and a bit spicy. The food was fresh and delicious. However, I do wish they had shrimp egg rolls as I’m not a fan of the combination egg rolls. Nonetheless, I enjoyed everything for just under $10. I will definitely go again when in this area.“

“My favorite Chinese restaurant and the most authentic in the suburbs. Our favorite dishes are the roast duck and double pan fried noodles which is the closest I've been able to find to my grandma's Cantonese cake noodles in all of Chicagoland.“

“fantastic food, large portions“

“Vegetarian options: They can make any entree per your request. We often order Singapore Noodles without any meat or eggs.

Dietary restrictions: They will make entrees to my request. For example I order chicken and broccoli steamed instead of with gravy and I have them make spicy ?“

“I love this place! Their delivery is always super fast. The front staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious. I definitely recommend giving them a try.

Vegetarian options: The Szechwan vegetables and mixed Chinese vegetables are 10/10 delicious!“

“This my third time eating from this place food on point only one thing I would say don’t buy broccoli with chicken that’s not really taste of chicken other than that food is great and they chop up meat if you ask

Parking: Small lot in front of stores for shoppers but not a big lot“

“They have very good Chinese food compared to some we have eaten at. We had broccoli chicken with chicken fried rice and egg drop soup. It was very goodFYI: If you like your food very spicy, they will honor your request. We like ours real spicy, so I ask for it to be 3 times Xtra spicy for the main course and even the fried rice, and they will do they for you. We've gone to many Chinese restaurants throughout Chicago, and we like them. We've gone neck because it's close to where we live.

Parking: It's next to Pizza Hut. The parking lot is small, but there is extra parking by the Pizza Hut.“

“Been going here since 1994. They were the best for a long time. Then something changed. For at least the last 15 years the food just doesn't taste that good. Keep going back every once n awhile to give another chance, but it's just not good. This will probably be the last time going here. It's a shame. They used to be sooo good! When everyone loved Lang Lee in Orland, I told them Dragon Palace blows them out of the water, way better.“

“Great little spot for take out or quick dine in and relax so far my meals have been delicious. The sweet and sour chicken and red sauce is good. The tofu with mixed vegetables is absolutely delicious. The spring rolls are good and so is the egg rolls. The plain fried rice is ok if I wasn't cheap and added meat id be more happy but delicious food and we are back for second round now will update later.

Vegetarian options: Great tofu and vegetables also have steamed food options for the lighter side“

“I'll start with the food being pretty good, plenty of variety, two soft drink machines, the employees very attentive to everything! But!!!!! The price.... super expensive, $20.99 each adult and I paid 10 dollars each for my 3 and 4 year old girls. I think with how expensive it is they can remodel the bathrooms and keep an employee cleaning the bathrooms at least every hour during the restaurant's peak hours. Otherwise I'm not complaining because the food was pretty good!“

“Our Order:
Chicken Fried Rice
Beef Fried Rice
Orange Chicken
Beef Lo Mein
Spring Rolls

Walking in, you're welcomed by two doors. The outer door slams, leaving you with a jolt of fright and embarrassment. The inner door opens you to what can be described as a small ma and pop shop with two visible tables and 4 seats each; making this a carryout spot but, leaving you with a seat or two if you're on lunch and looking to rest for a bit while eating. I'm pretty sure this was the first time I've eaten food from this restaurant but I am certain, after tonight, it won't be the last.

When it comes to eating Chinese cuisine, I usually have to prepare myself for sodium overload. That wasn't the case here. Every dish prepared for us was cooked perfectly. I could actually taste the other flavors they cooked into their food aside from salt which I've come to associate with most food from Chinese restaurants I've eaten at. The Orange Chicken was also really really good but, diabetics beware, it is extremely sweet; so make sure you have that insulin pen ready for after your meal. I should also mention that their food portions are very generous.

One other thing of note: I scheduled my food to be ready 30 minutes before my arrival. I showed up 5 minutes early and they were still cooking my order. The owner explained to me that they made sure to cook the food as close to the time of arrival as possible to make sure it's still hot by the time I got home with it; given that I show up on time. Most places just cook and let it sit until you show up so I think that was really cool of them.

All in all, I really enjoyed their food and if you're looking for a small ma and pop place that values good and fresh food, you've hit the nail on the head here.“

“The best shrimp fried rice I've ever had. Food is ALWAYS fresh!“

“Nice spot if you want some quick and good Chinese food I stopped here while I took a Break while doing a concreting coating estimate just ask for a little msg don’t be scared ask for hot oil ASK FOR THE THEIR SPECIALS great food great service great prices very friendly cashiers

Parking: Huge parking lot at a strip mall in the corner

Kid-friendliness: Kids can come out and wait with you but it’s a quick pick up“

“Pretty Good! I had the Singapore Noodles and Crab Rangoon. I really liked the veggies in the noodles, however it wasn't alot of chicken and shrimp throughout. Also ordered beef fried rice. 3 items..$37.00. They are a bit pricey! Definitely have a lot of leftovers.“

“The best Chinese food around! I drive from Kankakee, Illinois to enjoy their food!“

“Chicken fried rice was good The egg rolls were good. The sweet and sour sauce was as well. The price was fair. The cashier was friendly.
It would be nice to change the fried rice to another alternative such as vegetable fried rice. This was our first time trying Jade Garden. ?“

“They are take out only since Covid and that’s ok. It’s hard for businesses . Ate here as a kid and as an adult I had forgot how amazing they are . The chkn fried rice was so darn tasty, I asked for my Szechuan veggies well done soft; they cooked em perfect and cut small to ensure this, and the egg rolls hit the spot. I was so happy with this meal and was okay with every penny I spent. (Not to mention they were nice enough to share enough sweet n sour and soy )“

“Will always be my number #1 chinese spot when I come home because every state I've been to does not have anything that gives me quality besides Indianapolis, so it's a hole in the wall and extremely outdated but still going strong.“

“Love this place. Food is hot , fresh , delicious!! Customer service 10 stars and delivery add another 50 stars! Quick AF if you live within 2 miles. They always say food will be delivered in 45 min but 15 min later ding dong, foods here. And they swipe your card in person so no need to share your credit card ? over the phone. ? Give them a chance good people with great tasting food. Let’s not confuse great tasting with exceptional but if your in a pinch and hungry as heck then order from them.“

“Great menu choices and everything we fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and very fast. Great experience.“

“Great food, always make it here when traveling to Illinois“

“This site is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this restaurant. everytime I feel like having a superb supper, this restaurant comes straight to my mind. Great and varied food and a large menu.great team, and agreeable spirit. In addition to that, the charge is reasonable. I recommend this spot with no hesitation.“

“I love this place! My family has been ordering here for years and their Shrimp Fried Rice is our go to. This spot is my ultimate food joint when I'm stressed!I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good Chinese Restaurant!Also, everyone is super nice.“

“This is the best place for Chinese food! They give you such huge portions and for the price you can’t beat it! The food is always extremely hot and you can tell they make it all fresh! Me and my family have been going here for awhile now and never had a complaint! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Bamboo garden is a hidden gem inside of a first I almost passed it by well, I'm glad I didn't. This place has been a local gem ever since Number One Chop Suey in Oak Forest closed this is. My new go-to for Chinese food. I had the chicken walnut dinner spicy and my friend had beef. Broccoli, both dishes were very good. The restaurant itself was clean. However, they did seem a bit unexpectedly short-staffed for our visit. I would go back. I would recommend it to local friends.“

“I ordered egg foo young extra spicy spicy spicy and also chicken fried rice spicy there was nothing spicy about my order. I called first they said they’ll come back and get the order and fix it right then they called me back and asked me would chili oil or pepper or whatever they use would be OK and I said yes, they did not send enough for the order that I had only thing about this place that I really enjoy was the delivery driver don’t get me wrong. The flavors were there but I love my spicy if it wasn’t for Enrique, the delivery guy I would’ve been totally pissed. Thanks Enrique. Stay safe out there . I’ll give them a four out of five if my spicy was there it would’ve been 100%.“

“I order from this spot all the time for delivery. Ordering over the phone is easy and quick, delivery is even quicker. I'm a big fan of the lunch specials and recently tried the pepper steak and shrimp in lobster sauce. This is a great easy takeout option with really good portions. Also, their smoothies are really fresh.“

“all there food is really good and the egg rolls are fantastic“

“The food was tasty I should have asked for gravy on my shrimp fried rice. They give you a lot for the money, I will return. The staff could be a lot friendlier, not so robotic. When you come in they can say " hi, how are you" not just stand there looking at you waiting on you to say what you want. They can smile.“
