“I normally don’t leave reviews but this place deserved a good review. The food here is amazing I normally get the orange chicken and it’s the best I’ve ever had. The sauce is amazing and doesn’t compare to other places I’ve tried.“
“I've been going there fine in and pick up for about 11 years,the staff is super friendly they know you by name after so many years.The food is super fresh and looking healthy comparing with other same type foods,I think that they do not use MSG in their food.Great food and place ,don't hesitate using them.“
“The food is absolutely delicious. Fast, convenient, and oh so much flavor! I had the fried chicken steak jianbing and we also tried the original egg waffle and salted egg yolk waffle. Very excited to have them in the neighborhood and already can't wait to stop in again.“
“I had never tried southeast Asian cuisine. Even though I don’t know how they’re supposed to taste, I can tell the food is deliciously made!! It’s delicious as take out but it is even more amazing when you dine in and the food is piping “
“Went to try this place for my 1st time. When I went in I wasn't sure if I was in the right place. They have construction going on inside and there wasn't a name on the building or inside. Felt confused if I was in some type of office warehouse or something not sure. But I have to admit their food was amazing ?. They have so many choices to pick from. I definitely will be going back to try different plates. The price for the bowls is fair not over priced.“
“Visited this place with a friend a few times in the past, one of the best Asian restaurants in the area.You can tell the eggrolls are fresh when you can taste the ingredients instead of grease, and the sweet and sour sauce (ask for home made, not packet)- I'd say both are fantastic.Never had a single bad meal here, food is fast, staff efficient and courteous, and you get a large amount of food for the price.While it *can* get more expensive, sharing meals cuts down on the cost, and the food IS worth it.Only complaint is parking is iffy, but between Johnnie's beef and the other lots you'll likely find something nearby...pulls you out of the experience abit, but the food is worth it.“
“What a lovely marvel - a mid century modern, quietly spacious Chinese restaurant with a select menu that fits in a small, two page flyer. The service was super friendly and gracious, all questions answered. We had a small dim sum lunch and each dish was prepared to order, some of the best I've had - steamed shrimp dumplings, bbq pork bau, sticky rice with pork wrapped in a leaf and steamed. Even the subtle music - beautiful jazz singing - made us happy. I so want to come back to this gem next time I'm in CHI.“
“Also known as Asawon, my family has been coming to Peking Mandarin for decades. This is one of the few remaining classic Chinese-Korean restaurants that serve a lot of Chinese-American food and a handful of Chinese-American dishes that are enormously popular among Koreans. They also serve excellent champong, a classic spicy seaweed soup that is not too dissimilar to menudo, sans the tortillas. The trio of dishes we usually get are the spicy chicken wings aka lollipop wings (also available in boneless pork here), sweet and sour chicken (tan sauce, vs. the orange sauce in the American Chinese version), and black bean noodles. Last time we also threw in Mongolian Beef, which was surprisingly outstanding. Not sure if it was just a lucky day but the beef was infused with a smoky wok hei, unlike most Mongolian Beef dishes that are usually kind of watery and bland. I also like the black mushrooms & tofu, a classic Chinese American dish. The popular wings can sometimes be a little overcooked but the thick spicy sauce is usually on point. The primary competitor, Great Seas down the street, might have slightly better wings in a thinner more nuanced sauce, but the black bean noodles here are more generously sauced and slightly better, I think. I go back and forth between which restaurant that I prefer. My spouse prefers Great Seas wings but my family prefers Peking Mandarin for the other dishes and overall. They have large tables and are used to serving large groups, especially on weekends. The service is just fair and can be almost non-existent when they are busy. Be patient and bring cash. The decor is outdated but people here are regulars who come for the food, not to be impressed by interior design. This is one of the Chicago pillar restaurants devoted to food, not trends. I feel like those keep closing - let's keep this one open.Parking: Parking can be tight - we usually manage to find a spot in the diag spaces on St. Louis south of Lawrence.“
“Had a great experience my first time here. Food was delicious, portions were huge, and the service was phenomenal!! Service is what really stood out to me. Also they were very fast and gave a complimentary cookie and fortune cookie with the check. Highly recommended ! Try the combination rice can't go wrong.“
“If you read any of the reviews for Al's Drive In online, people have a ton of nostalgia for this place. I find nostalgia for a restaurant can play a negative role for those who don't have the association, but that wasn't the case for me who only ate here for the first time today. The Chicago dog and super taco were solid but the combination fried rice was the hero for me. Never thought l'd find this kind of wok hei flavor from a Chicago Red Hots institution in Maywood, IL that would remind me so much of the fried rice I grew up with at my Chinese immigrant family's restaurant in Arizona. Honestly just throw in some bean sprouts and you'd have a 1:1 copy. I may not have the same nostalgia that a lot of the usuals have with Al's, but that familiar taste of home is so present in every bite of this fried rice. I'm immediately transported to teenage me devouring a large combination fried rice at my own family's restaurant after working a full day's 12hr shift in the summer and immediately passing out in my bed when I got home. I wish I had started coming here sooner.“
“Must order. We are Chinese in the neighborhood and first time order. Unbelievable their food better than the restaurant in Chinatown. So delicious and good price. The restaurant is clean and good customer service. We will order again and again . Thank “
“Probably the best Chow Fun I’ve had a in a long time. I had some last week and today I had to get some more. So good. Paired this with a mango smoothie. The Chow Fun I requested to be extra spicy with shrimp. Don’t miss this place. The fried rice is amazing as well. It’s as if they grill the rice or something. There’s a little char on it at times that makes it so addictive and delicious. Beware, one visit will not be enough. So darn good.“
“This is a great place for maki rolls... The service was very good. I love the fact you ordered your food and it came to the table fresh, great concept for buffet. Abit of advice go hungry and with more the 2 people for the buffet. Going back soon to try other foods for sure.“
“the food is always incredible, perfectly light and filling at the same time! The crispy chicken aioli baowich always wins and the creative baonuts hit the sweet tooth without knocking it out. I cant recommend this place enough, amd so far I've only done delivery! huge soft spot for being the first bit of food I was able to keep down and enjoy on a very sick day. THANK YOU FOR AWESOME, COMFORTING, DELICIOUS FOOD!“
“I've ordered from this place 4 times and it never disappoints! My 7yr old granddaughter came over so we ordered Chinese food from here today and she absolutely loved it! She said grandma why havnt we ordered this delicious food before ..lol I always get the Mongolian beef, egg rolls, crab Rangoon! Everthing is delicious!“
“Sooo fantastic! I asked for wonton soup..Korean wings & spring rolls. I'll say that I will be a FOREVER customer now..the wings were the BEST I've ever had,so crunchy and the seasoning was spot on~the flavor was mmmmMMmm also ,the soup tasted like it was JUST made.. i was really happy when i saw that i was given rice as well! ..most importantly for me, this food was REALLY clean and by that I mean -ingredients that were selected & prepared with intent..no "after taste" no grease..just delicious homemade honest food! Thank you!Parking: Wouldn't ever be an issue“
“I'm so happy to have learned about this spot. They have all the good normal Chinese dishes like orange chicken, Mongolian beef, etc, but I came specifically for the Korean Chinese dishes, jjajangmyun and tangsooyook. This is the best jjajangmyun I've had in the city in a long time. The tangsooyook (which is a Korean Chinese version of sweet and sour beef) was also on point, so crispy and delicious. These dishes are comfort food to me and they were done so well here, really made me so happy tonight. Service was excellent and the pricing is very fair. We will be back very soon!!! They have free parking, but the restaurant is also surrounded by pay to park spots if needed.“
“Ordered from here for the first time, as it’s super close by and I’m beyond impressed. They left a nice personalized note with my order and the food was to die for. I had the crispy garlic sesame fusion chicken bowl with the garlic butter fried rice and chicken dumplings. The combination of flavors was amazing and for a great price. I can’t wait to try more things on the menu. Thank you so much! Sorry didn’t take a picture of the food as I couldn’t wait to dive in. It looked scrumptious!“
“I’ve been getting food from here (mostly carry out) for more than 10 years and the food is still delicious! One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. My husband loves their pho, my son loves their pork over rice, and my favorite is the sate soup and noodles. The staff there are very nice too! Thank you Hoanh Long!Just writing this review is making me hungry! hehe“
“Excellent service and sushi!! They served 22+ of us and were on top of it! Drinks, many different menu items and never missed a beat. Delicious sushi, sashimi and cooked items along great portion sizes. Awesome place and definitely returning!“
“I tried this restaurant for the first time today because my favorite local restaurant is closed on Mondays-but I think I may have found a new favorite here! The food was amazing. I got delivery and everything was hot and packaged with care. I had a slight issue with my order, not because of the restaurant, but due to the 3rd party delivery service that I ordered with. The man who called me on the phone from the restaurant was very polite, understanding, and accommodating, and he quickly resolved the problem. I ordered the Mongolian (beef), sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and crab rangoons. Everything was perfect! I will definitely be back again.“
“This take out Chinese restaurant is so yummy. There dishes are freshly made. When they say spicy be careful you can have your spice level adjusted, just ask.Great crab ragoons and egg rolls. Kung pow is good and love the loew main.Friendly gentleman at front and answers phone.This place has been around for a long time for a reasonVery large portions.“
“We went there last night and got a take out order. I love Chinese food. This food is the best ! The staff is very friendly and polite . The food is so good that this is My go to restaurant when I’m in Elmhurst from now on. I am very delighted that we stopped in .“
“one of my favorite pan-asian spots in chicago! the food is always so delicious and fresh, i've gotten it delivered, picked it up, and sat in and every time it's fire. it seems to be family owned, as sometimes there are kids/teens taking my order or serving me, which I love supporting! very attentive and quick to bring the food. if you come, don't miss out on the smoothies. my girlfriend and I will sometimes even come just for the smoothies. they are made with fresh fruit that you see them blend and make right in front of of you. they are so good! I come here pretty often, and highly recommend.“
“20 February 2024 on vacation from MI. While staying in a hotel, less than 2 miles away, I had a taste for Chinese. I google, searched for some tasty authentic chinese food. Happy I came across Hoa-My. The food was surprisingly good. I had the dinner special shrimp in garlic sauce#12. I really liked the beef fried rice, very tasty. The owner was very friendly.“
“The food was delicious. It was just not clear about their menu; there were none at the restaurant so there were discrepancies between what I saw online and what I was told I could order. While waiting 12 year olds came in and out with ice cream bars and I couldn't see where they got them from. Glencoe is bizarre.“
“Beef Peapods with onions were way too bland, slimmy and gelatinous; the whole family stunned. Everything else was perfect and with great portions! We loved the orange chicken, potsticker?, egg foo young and the beef fried rice was delicious.#“
“Food was good. Hit the spot. We had HK style chow mein with beef and it was good. Bbq pork fried rice was good. The pork flavor was subtle but tasty. Singapore style green beans were good. Cooked perfectly, wasn't undercooked with "chaulky" beans. Fresh! Peking duck was good. Not as fancy as some places but passsble and tasty. A few steps above Panda. Servers were good and attentive. Quality service.“
“A family run restaurant with great food and a friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The appetizer are start to every meal. A selection of appetizer and splitting a main course is often enough for two.Dietary restrictions: The food is made to order and meets the personal needs.“
“Great, fast dinner. Best dishes are Cantonese, but they make versions of Szechuan and Hunan specialties. Very good wonton soup, as you'd expect of their namesake. Did I mention fast. Carry out orders usually ready in 5-10 minutes. Nice to dine in or carry out.“
“I am not local, this is a regular go-to place for a friend, so when I visit with her, she wants to bring me. I had a Chinese Eggplant with chicken dish, flavorful and spicy. Also had some nigiri sushi, all very good. The Black Tobiko was plentiful and fresh. The Tamago and Inari, which are types of sushi that are deceptively simple seeming but really show a chef's knowledge and artistry, were excellent. I'm sure I will go again.“
“We lived in the area for a long time have kow moved to West Rogers Park so when we go back to visit Family we order from them were glad to say food is still great prices are still good will keep going back when we visit our old neighborhood. Keep up the great service.“
“My family loves Ho Ho! We've been ordering from here for over 20 years. Even my children enjoy the food now. It's exciting that they recently added new items to the menu. We've tried many noodle dishes, rice dishes, and appetizers. Ho Ho has one of the best hot sauces! We will continue to order from here a few times a month.“
“best chinese food you will ever get i’ve grown up with this place and it is absolutely fabulous! The customer service is incredible and the food is outstanding I have not yet been to a place that’s better then Hunan star I truly don’t believe there is a better chinese cuisine better then this!“
“Always on point. Food is cooked as ordered. Though the pricing increased still decent amount of food.Vegetarian options: There are no vegetarian foods hereParking: Laramie is busy and the parking is one of those if you see a spot better grab it. I wouldn't suggest double parking in front of the restaurant becomes a clutterWheelchair accessibility: Access into store has a ramp and threshold. But there is no handicap parking spot“
“The people are nice and are working hard. I can tell. I stopped in on the way back from Chicago and I had the BEST avocado roll ever. The avocado was so fresh. I don't think you'll regret coming by when you need something easy to eat :)“
“What I had was very good. Has no atmosphere at all. Reminds me of a military chow hall. Has very large menu to choose from. I generally judge Chinese restaurants by its customers. If its full of Asians , eat there, if not, go somewhere else.“
“Songs has very good food and their their atmosphere is just a small little Chinese restaurant that has a lot of pictures of food on the walls like many others nothing exceptional but the food is good and that's what's important and it looks cleanVegetarian options: I'm not a vegetarian but I do eat vegetarian dishes from time to time because of my health issues and they're very good you really don't need meat all the time to have a tasty filling mealParking: There are a lot of parking spots around because it there's not just one store it's like a strip area so there's plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: When you call or go in you're greeted very friendly and they're very nice to you and accommodating and they'll get your food out to you as soon as possible“
“Food was great. Ate on location with colleagues first. Pass the taste test. Talked to Yan. She was very friendly and helpful with my catering questions. Ordered catering for 80 people. Delivery was on time. Food received great review. It was more than enough to feed 80. Will cater again in the future.“
“Damn fine restaurant, probably the best Chinese food in glenview. Highly recommend. I got crab rangoons, spring rolls, spicy calamari and the sweet and sour fish. Food was authentic and delicious. Will definitely come againVegetarian options: Lots of tofu options“
“combination chow mein is always good. Beef with vegetables, salt and pepper smelt and pork chop are very good. their orange chicken needs improvement. The pho is good too although they need to provide addled housing and chili when they serve.“
“This charming Chinese restaurant features a menu focused on Sichuan spicy cuisine, and it did not disappoint.To start, I ordered the Sichuan spicy wontons, which were packed with flavor and had just the right amount of heat. For the main course, I tried the Sichuan spicy chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was tender, and the spicy sauce had a perfect balance of flavors.If you're a fan of Sichuan spicy food, I highly recommend visiting Asian Bistro. The food is authentic and flavorful, making it a must-try for anyone looking for a taste of traditional Chinese cuisine.“
“They're fine for what they are which is a city version of a strip mall Chinese restaurant. It's not particularly inexpensive unless you get a lunch or dinner combo. That's their strength. Otherwise they sometimes close a little early if it's slow. They're not very friendly though not rude. And the quality and timeliness is very inconsistent. My advice, go well before closing and get a combo. If you need more than 3 packets of sauce total, ask them or you won't get it. And they never include hot mustard sauce if you like it, which I do. It's average but not bad.“
“This started as trying to find a back-up for Chinatown. WOW! This place is amazing... we call it "5 Minute" because that is what the lady first told me on the phone, and she wasn't kidding... for lunch, that is. Their Lunch Combos come with an egg roll, a bottle of water, a huge serving of shrimp fried rice, and your large order. I LOVE their Shrimp Kow, it is so flavorful, I'm sure anything China House makes is wonderful. Oh, best yet, you get all this for under $12. This is actually 3 meals for me, so I know you construction guys will have enough to eat here for lunch. Enjoy!“
“I don't understand the bad review this Sushi place is amazing and I've always had a good time here. The food itself is great with many options. The staff are very respectful and friendly and professional. The atmosphere is nice and quiet and relaxed and happy. And if you like Sushi especially if you keep kosher this is the place for you. Sadly every business will always have a person who isn't pleased. I highly recommend this place.“
“New favorite Restaurant ?I delivered for Uber when I came across this gem. Staff super sweet, very busy at check out side - I love that for them. The air smells soooo good. I decided to grab my mom and we sat down an hour later. The food didn’t take too long to come out. When we seen the portions, we were shocked. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. Staff gave us extra small plates so Mom and I traded a little of our meats just yummmyyy. Went to the restroom very pretty, updated and clean. They played music videos definitely a vibe. Different kinds of seating in the dinning area. We sat at a booth. We grabbed to go plates, I for sure ate the rest for lunch the next day and will be going again pretty soon.Order:Fried Rice Plate with Green Pepper Steak comes with an egg roll.Side of Crab Rangoon w/sauceFried Rice Plate with Orange Chicken also comes with an egg roll.“
“I have been going to Chopstick Express for 8 years. The owner is very nice as he remembers his customers who frequently dine in, carry out, and have food delivered. The food is extremely fresh and always hot even if there is a wait time. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone as you want be disappointed.“
“Back to Chicago after years, discovered this amazing place today! I have been transitioning/moving and had to eat out a lot lately. I don't often write reviews but this is truly the best meal I've had this year. I asked what's good, they said General Tso's chicken. Hands down the best variation of the dish I've ever had. the fried rice was delicious and the portions were enormous, I can put away some food and this delicious freshly made crispy yummyness was probably enough for 2 may be even 3 portions/meals. Oh I also had the best crab Rangoon ever, way too much food but I hadn't eaten all day. Needless to say at $12.96 for all that, I will be trying everything on the menu and probably write another review.Vegetarian options: I requested a vegetarian eggroll which they made fresh for me.“
