We used to live near Westmont IL. We ate at the international mall food court often. It was called "Ding Ho" (顶好） back then. Recently we went to the food court, hoping we could find the good food that was in our memories. It was totally different now. At the North and South counter (南北和）， we ordered the beef noodle soup and the dumplings （小笼包）。The beef noodle soup was in a smaller bowl with 4 small pieces of beef shanks.It didn't not taste as good as some 20 years ago. The dumplings were more disappointing. They had zero soup in them. They were dry and tasted stale. We will not go back there again!

This is an authentic Asian/Chinese food court. There are few restaurants to choose from. Kind of like good cheap eats of Taiwan.

Large parking lot that is usually empty or plenty of spaces. It's next door to Park to Shop. There are technically 4 restaurants, you may see 5 but 2 of them are connected. The Serbian restaurant is almost always dead, not a lot of customers. It's a shame because Serbian food is pretty tasty. On the weekends, they have Taiwanese breakfast at Chinese Cafe. Usually a long line. Good mix of Chinese and Taiwanese food. I would like to see them add more of the popular Taiwanese dishes. Prices are usually cheap to moderate. Good size portions.

I usually get the same thing because it tastes so good, but I have taken numerous people to this place and all appreciate the meal. Spicy or not, they offer a good variety of traditional Asian fare. I highly recommend.

Part 3 of 5 Memorial Day weekend APIHM series.Currently, the Mall comprises a bank, a couple of TCM doctor's offices, and a dental office. There are a variety of dishes to choose from 4 different vendors on the first floor. I enjoy coming here every so often to treat myself and my family to authentic dishes that are hard to find elsewhere, particularly stinky tofu, ba wan (Taiwanese meatball), oyster omelet, and pig blood soup. It is a food court. You are expected to return the tray and empty dishes back to designated areas. Although not required, I've never seen anyone do otherwise. The bathrooms are small and could use additional lighting in my opinion.Parking, you asked? Yes, there is a large parking lot. It is easily accessed from Route 83 (Kingery Hwy) or Ogden Avenue. On this particular visit, 988 Oriental Food House was closed. Reopening date is May 30, 2023.
It's basically a food court. But they changed their hours. Most places are not open until 10am on Saturdays. Great place for Taiwanese food or authentic Chinese food.

The building badly needs update but the restaurants inside the food court are pretty good.

I just went shopping at the Chinese grocery store next door. The store temperature was very cold inside the store.

It’s a food court with many Chinese selections and one European Grill.Try to come early (10 AM) for authentic traditional breakfast. After 11 AM, lines start forming especially at Chinese Cafe.Make sure to order Fried Breadstick and tofu porridge.

We liked the sticky oily rice 油飯 at Oriental food house, not bamboo meat ball 肉粽and meat ball 肉圓. We didn’t like any food I ordered from Chinese Cafe. We ordered like $100 dollars from both places.
It’s the only place that I know of to get soy milk and Taiwan style tofu. Yum yum. I’ve been coming here for over 25 years.
