"I really wanted to like this place based on the recommendations of people we knew, but sadly this is not to be.We ordered take out: Barbecue Pork Bao Buns, General Tso's Chicken Bao, Curry Chicken Bao Bun, Pot Stickers, Pork Thick Noodle Bowl and Chicken Thick Noodle Bowl.Let me state that the buns were amazing! Soft bread and great flavors in the fillings. The BBQ Pork, Curry and General Tso's Chicken Bao buns were so tasty. I would definitely order those again.The bowls were not that great. We were all thrown off by how brown everything was. When I say brown, I mean brown! The portions were of a good size, but the contents were greasy and didn't have much flavor to them. We ate the buns and pot stickers and ended up getting Mexican from down the street. We just couldn't finish the bowls.I would definitely order from them again for those buns, just not the noodles."
"I'm in town for a couple days and decided to join my friends for dinner at Little Wok. This place does take reservations, but we did not need one. It was 5 PM on a Thursday and the place was pretty empty. There are a lot of seating and it is nicely decorated. Julian (the busboy) came as soon as I sat down to fill our cups with water and was very attentive whenever we needed refills. Our waiter, Sam, was so nice and checked in on us periodically to make sure we were doing alright. The food came out in a timely manner, which I really appreciated. I had the avocado roll as my appetizer, which came with 10 rolls. It was fresh and they provided soy sauce. As my main portion, I had the walnut shrimp. It came with a side of rice as well. The walnut shrimp was creamy and also came with broccoli. It was a good portion size, so I even had some leftovers."
"Definitely a hidden Mundelein gem! The food is very flavorful and portions are generous- enough for leftovers in our family."
"We started off with the calamari appetizer. I love spice but my husband does not. The calamari itself was not spicy but the veggies that were served with it packed some heat, so we were both pleased with this appetizer and would eat it again for sure! I ordered the dry paneer with chili sauce (spicy), I added mixed veggies for $1 more and loved it! The dry paneer was in small dice sized cube and were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I would eat this again for sure! My husband had the combo fried rice (mild) the texture was great, and very flavorful m, he highly recommends it! He would have it again for sure. The water they gave us had no ice so it was not as cold as I prefer but it was ok."
"Great Chinese food and its conveniently located close to my job, so I can walk here. When I call in my order, they are so friendly. The food is wonderful and fresh."
"Peninsula fan all the way... this restaurant really embodies the quality of these hotels. Big Pfan and why we went for a birthday lunch. Service was top-notch and they were always on top of making sure the table was cleared and ready for the next course... the ambiance is lovely and serene, so nice of a garden vibe being up in the middle of the Mag Mile.Food, for the most part, was okay, but nothing you can't get in Chinatown for 1/3 the price... Some dim sum and wontons, corn crab chowder, beef noodles, prawns, and sea bass (only exceptional entree), and 6 drinks were enough to make us hit 400ish with tax and tip for 3 people.Nice place, recommend parking at the NW lot, and walking over to Water Tower for shopping and playing tourists. Nice day to be in the city."
"2.5 stars. Wanted Chinese, and didn't know about Friendship down the street. Came in and was a bit hesitant but there were three tables of people, so I decided I'd give it a try. The place is a bit rundown but everyone's happiness made it bearable. Seating for about 20, but they do a big take out business I saw while here. Ordered egg rolls and beef and broccoli, which I thought would be safe. It was eh, at best. The broccoli was undercooked, the beef was slimy (the little bit that was in the dish), and the egg rolls were overcooked. The service was friendly though! Friendly, and attentive, but not overwhelming."
"Had dinner here last weekend with friends and just really enjoyed this place. It was really good Chinese and Asian food, after a long time. The place isn't too fancy or anything. It kind of has a strange layout too, where you have to go around the bend to the seating area. It's not a big place, at all inside. The service was kind of OK - the lady admittedly was on her first day, but she just wasn't up with the service. For example, just not doing refills, not knowing the menu, etc. I get it - first day. I'm giving this place the benefit of the doubt. Our friends that took us there vouch for this place; they're regulars.And there were right on one thing; the food was great. The Ma Po Tofu was great. The Kung Pao Vegetables were also good. There was this veggie sushi, which I really loved. It had some crispy stuff in there. I can't find it on the online menu, but whichever one it was, I loved it. We also had the veggie fried rice, which was just OK. I ate a LOT of food there, cuz it was so good.You know, there are SO many more amazing looking options on the menu, I definitely would want to come back here to give it a shot. In fact, I noticed there's another location down near West Town, so I'll definitely give it a shot. Now that I think about it - maybe we already have? Hmm... I'll have to look in to that. Well, great job at this location and thanks for a great evening."
"I would pass up the physical location many times and never be interested in ordering. However, I had a craving and there are such poor Chinese options in North Center/RV, I gave them a shot. The egg roll is awesome. You can taste the five spice seasoning and it's a good size for an appetizer. That alone is worth a stop. I ordered pan fried noodles Singapore style with yellow curry since I love the rice noodle version. The noodles are very dry due to cooking method and it was overwhelmingly salty. These noodles are better suited for gravy dishes, and I have some unsalted chicken stock it will probably go into.The new style Mongolian beef came with a good variety of fresh and canned vegetables like broccoli, green peppers, and water chestnut. I've noticed a lot of restaurants put the same vegetables in every dish. New China's kung pao chicken had celery, zucchini, and of course peanuts. Both dishes were heavily sauced and seasoned well. Overall, this isn't the best Chinese take out I've had, but it definitely isn't the worst. If you have a good recommendation around North Center, please PM me!"

Big plates, cheap prices. The service was AMAZING and they were quick. We plan on eating here again. We ordered half the menu for our group, and it was 20-30minutes for all of it to be done. Thank you and all the cooks who made it!

Service is really, really good I had no complaints and nobody was rude, they were very casual and very nice, and I did order at my grandmas house, near Keeler, where we were staying with her and it came very, very quick!The food was very good we ordered pepper steak and it was beyond delicious, the white rice is really good, the chicken fried rice was pretty good it wasn't as good as Jess Café but it was pretty good! The orange chicken was not as good as Jess Café either, but I still really liked it and the free eggroll was so good! The price is pretty good the pepper steak was a large and it was I think around $6 which is a pretty good price for us and the white rice came with the chicken fried rice, and the large orange chicken was about $8 or $9, so I got to say the prices are pretty good the total was around $20.Overall, my Dad and I loved our meal! We were craving Chinese food for the longest, and I guess we picked the right place! We loved it so much, that we ordered here TWICE! I would definitely order from here again!

The bao were so delish, the noodle dish I ordered was not so tasty, it was way too salty. But that bao, tho... I would totally go back for more.

Based on the mixed reviews, I was a little hesitant but I have to say we were pleasantly surprised!! We ordered on door dash from a huge menu. We went with the:- Scheuzan chicken 8/10- Pad see ew 9.5/10- steamed gyoza 8/10This is the best pad see ew I have found in wicker park. I've struggled to find good Thai here! Delivery or within walking. All the normal recs have been disappointing for this dish. Little wok nailed this! Good flavor, good portion. My only wish was a little more spice but overall will def get again. My husband liked his too but it didn't come with white rice like those dishes normally do which we thought was strange... def should. We also both enjoyed the gyoza.Haven't tried the sushi or "Chinese" side of the menu but liked the Thai!

There used to be a legendary Indo-Chinese restaurant in this complex called the Hot Wok Village.. that place is now defunct but the owner Joseph Lee retells that legend with his, Hakka Wok restaurant.I dined-in here for Father's Day weekend and was met with nostalgia as all the items we ordered retained the same great taste from years past. We stuck to the vegetarian menu and loved every bit of it:- Sweet Corn Soup (pro tip, add some vinegar from the green spice condiment to this)- Veg. Szechwan Spring Roll- Veg. Baby Corn Bhazzia- Veg. Ginger Fried Rice- Veg. Szechwan Noodles- White Rice BowlThis food is meant to be eaten in the restaurant and shared family style and I assure you, you will leave content and satisfied when you do!

Great little place! The white rice is perfect. We got the chicken Mei fun, it was done well. Lunch specials, 11- 3, are a fantastic value. They come with rice and egg roll.

What a delicacy of an experience. Went with a local friend. The food here is some of the best, and the service is all-around friendly professionals working as a true team. We asked the chef to send different foods and to include Duck (perfect duck). We need to come back when the weather permits terrace dining. Simply delightful!

"For a fast casual type of Asian restaurant this isn't bad. It has been much better than expected each time I've ordered something from here. Wok N Bao is like Asian street food, but you can eat inside. Has a limited menu with a mix of Chinese and Vietnamese food. The prices are really good compared to nearby places. Going here is convenient from the Ogilvie Transportation Center. It's almost across the street, and takeout is a popular option here. The place is kind of small, so it's not a good place for groups for sure. It has a counter to order at. They have alcohol on the menu but they weren't serving any last time. Instead I got a can of Co Co Rico. This is an Asian pop, with coconut flavor, so it goes good with most things. I got the Mapo Tofu Bao. It's only $4 each. These have Fresno chilis, green onions, and radish. One may be small but it has lots of flavor. These are convenient to eat here fast or to eat later. Better than expected. It doesn't have any alcohol as of the last time here. There's not a whole lot of vegetarian options but what they have are some baos and salads."
"Hit or miss. Delivery is solid but not on all dishes. For example the sweet and sour chicken is great but the fried rice is not. It was really weird and not what I expected at all. Egg foo young was good, but the Mongolian beef had too much sauce and was chewy. The dine in is typical and servers are friendly."
"Plenty of parking the restaurant is in a small mall. It does get tight on the weekends though. Watch out for the guys trying to sale you CD's and Movies. This time I called in for delivery. The order taker was friendly and efficient. He had to change my address because I have moved since the last time I ordered for delivery. He didn't miss a beat. Kudos to him!! :) I have ordered from here thousands of times. My food experience has been anywhere from ok to great. This time it was excellent!!! I ordered two Chicken and Broccoli with brown sauce dinner specials and two egg rolls. No grease under my rice. Fried rice was cooked perfectly. Broccoli was steamed to perfection. I really enjoyed my meal and so did my husband and kids! Keep it up Fung's!!!!! :)"
"Not the largest spot, but luckily we were able to get a table for 5 of us. It is relatively new i believe. Cute decors inside. The service could have been a little better, we had to ask for rice and water multiple times before we got it. The food took a little longer than I expected but it was not a crazy wait or anything. String beans - surprisingly my favorite dish! I tasted the msg and loved every second of it. 8.8/10Dan Dan noodle (m) - sad of the portion size for this. nothing crazy, i would say average dan dan noodles. save the sauce for your rice! 6.4/10Mapo Tofu - full of flavor and perfect with rice. this was the perfect spice level for me. Good tofu size as well. 8.6/10Dry Chili Chicken - we got this dish twice as it was our favorite just in general. The first portion we were disappointed in amount so ordered another one. 7.2/10 Xiong long báos (not pictured) - for soup dumplings there was only a sip of soup :( filling left me wanting more for sure. would skip on this next time. 4.2/10Wontons - simple dish. would've liked a little more filling. sauce is usual. 6.5/10"
"Been going here since I was a child. 8 treasures chicken is really good, so is the egg foo young. Lots of good things on the menu! Inside isn't too big, typical Chinese restaurant setting I guess. We order to go from here usually but definitely eat inside once in a while."
"Food is priced well , especially with the large portions they give you. We always order for delivery and they are prompt , drivers are very courteous and food is delivered nice and hot. On a side note their Crab Rangoon's are bar none the very best I have ever had."
"Really more of a 3 1/2 star place. I walked in and ordered and with two people ahead of me waiting for their order, the time it took to make my food was more than reasonable. Egg rolls were around average. I ordered Mongolian Beef and it was better than average. What I appreciated is that they included the dry fried vermicelli noodles in a separate bag to be added to the entree. Seems like the majority of Chinese places either don't include them at all or put then in the entree where they quickly become mushy and irrelevant. That was the factor in giving this place a "benefit of the doubt" four star rating rather than three."
"After driving and walking by since they've opened, and trying them at West Fest, we finally had a chance to dine-in. I'll be honest, we had a couple somewhat negative experiences before pushing it all side and staying determined to try this place out. The service has been consistently meh, but the food is out of this world and worth coming back for, even if we don't get a smile or hello. The restaurant itself is small and cute. Decorated with plants and they keep up a holiday spirit and decorated with Chinese Lunar New Year decor.All of the food we tried consisted of two visits. The portions are big and shareable and our eyes are always hungrier than our stomachs. Out of the two experiences we've had, only the first one was spicy (which I prefer).Dan Dan Noodles - deliciously nutty and spicy. The texture of the noodles is chewy and fresh and all the toppings take it up that extra notch. Make sure to mix it up or you'll be "stuck" eating all the pork that finds its way to the bottom. Or just eat it however you like!Cold Noodle - so incredibly refreshing. It's like nothing I've had before. The flavors are spicy and umami - I really don't know how to explain it. I was a little nervous at first because I've never had cold noodles but I loved them so much, I ordered them as my entree for the second visit. Lamb Bing - ended up taking a bite just to try it hot since we were completely stuffed by the time it came out. We were warned it would take 30 minutes though. The texture was chewy and somewhat tough. Reminded me of meat pies I grew up on. I didn't love it and I definitely didn't hate it. I also didn't order it on our second visit.Pork and Chive Dumplings - a healthy portion! About 13 dumplings in total. These had a slightly nuttier flavor and we eat the broth like soup even if it's not meant that way LOL it's just so dang delicious.Beef and Green Onion Dumplings - absolutely love and prefer these ones. Both are amazing though, don't get me wrong. The beef broth had more of a kick which I prefer. The chilies are a nice touch. Also had 13 dumplings and drinkable broth - yum!Eggplant Salad - recommended by staff on the first visit (did my best to warm them up. Maybe it's a vibe I give off?). Do not skip on ordering this!! This is for food lovers and can convert any eggplant hater. It's sweet, crunchy, spicy, vinegar - just umami and must order every visit moving forward. You'll see for yourself."
"Nothing extraordinary but food is always good and they have a wide variety of choices. Salt and pepper fish fillet is one of my favorites along with their noodle dishes. Portions are fair and it is easy to park."
"My go-to Chinese takeout in the area. I haven't had anything I didn't like and would recommend this place for great food, portions and prices. FOR THE NORTHSIDERS- please go back north for mango, milk tea or spring rolls, it's not going to happen. This is typical Chinese fast food and this is a great example."
"You know some places are hit and miss? Well this place is a Home Run! Excellent flavors and quality and quantity. Beautiful inside and very clean. Very nice people too! Take the family Highly recommend!"
"LOVE. If I had to describe our experience in 1 word, it's love! We came by for an early dinner on Sunday and were immediately sat. The parking is paid metered parking, but there was plenty of it despite being in a busier area. The restaurant was decked out with colors, lights, palm trees and was truly an escape from Chicago. To start we had the Crying Tiger, and the Spicy Crab Rangoon. The Crying Tiger was full of flavor, and cooked to the perfect temp. The steak was delish with and without the dipping sauce, but to amplify the flavors... highly recommend dipping! The spicy crab Rangoon was a fun party of its own. The crunch from the wrap to the warm creamy crab filling, the spice wasn't too crazy with all the cream filling but with the sweet chili sauce it made for the perfect bites. We shared the lava roll, it reminded me of the viva Las Vegas roll from ra sushi, but this was filled with so much more. The crab meat on top had a nice kick to it. As if we weren't already full, we also ordered the general tso chicken sandwich, and the burger to try. Both of which were delish! The general tso was my pick between the two. The pineapple had a nice sweet and tangy flavor to each bite. For dessert, I wanted to try the Vietnamese tiramisu but they were sold out. All the more reason to come back again soon! The service was great, despite how busy they got the team really made each table feel special in their own way and were extremely attentive."
"I feel like Chinese restaurants are the kings of properly packing and securing the takeout food. I know we all saw that Curb episode but my experience has always been flawless. Be sure to tip generously when ordering on Christmas Day because these Chinese restaurants are doing all us hungry people a favor by staying open5 stars"
"A great no-frills authentic spot for soup dumplings and expanded Asian cuisine. They literally have such a large menu, though they are known to specialize in a certain region of food. We came for their specialty- the soup dumplings. The xiao long bao (soup dumplings) that we got had the pork and crab in it and were wonderfully delicious and flavorful. We also got the schezuan green beans in a tasty pork sauce that was recommended by the waiter, and this was a nice side dish with rice. Such an affordable meal too!"
"This was my first time in Glencoe to watch a show at Writer's Theater, and I stopped by this place for a meal before the show. It seems to be the only Chinese restaurant in the entire town and also one of the few places both open at night and relatively affordable. My friend and I ordered the Walnut Shrimp Special and Sauteed Green Beans. We were told it would take 30 minutes, so we sat inside to wait, and the food came out right on time and piping hot. You can't dine in the restaurant though, as they don't have a dining license. 9 times out of 10, Chinese takeout will always hit for me, and Shanghai Garden was no exception. The green beans were flavorful and well-sauteed. The walnut shrimp had a nice crispy texture, tangy taste, and also came with broccoli and crispy noodle pieces. The portions are large for the price and they also included a large box of rice with our order. For just $15 per person, we had a good amount of leftovers. Overall great value, tasty food, generous portions, friendly service-- I would love to return if I'm in the area again!--Price (relative to peers): 4.5/5Food: 4.5/5Ambience: N/AService: 5/5Overall Value: 4.5/5"
"A basic looking and tasting Chinese restaurant is in Buffalo Grove. It certainly isn't anything special but it's reliable. New Golden Dragon is one of the many Americanized Chinese restaurants in the strip malls you can find with many of the same favorites you can get at these. Fairly good prices. They also have a list of lunch specials. I picked something here up for lunch. Quite a few people were here to pick up their orders and there were a few others dining inside which has plenty of tables. The worker at the front was also taking calls so placing an order was a little bit of a wait. Had time to look at the menu. They have quite a few of cheaper lunch specials. I had the Vegetable Delight. It's $8.59 for vegetables and rice. Then I added is a couple extra bucks for tofu. Still okay prices and came out fast. The tofu was kind of bad and mushy. Certainly it's not at all bad. It's mostly kind of above average in the quality. There's much better places than here but this will do for a quick meal though."
"I was skeptical that this Chinese food was as good as I'd heard but after getting the sweet and sour chicken combo, I must admit I was wrong! The Chinese food here is delicious! It's fresh and always piping hot. You even get an egg roll with it that's not that typically fishy eggroll most Chinese places give you.The place itself is TINY and always packed, but they get your order to you in a timely fashion.Next time I'm in the mood for Chinese food, this is definitely an options."
"I've been to Joy Yee's a number of times. Mostly to this location and the one in Evanston. While it's Asian fusion, it's still pretty good.You can get Chinese food, Vietnamese, etc.My uncle got pho, my cousin ordered fried rice and short ribs, my sister got a tofu dish that tasted a lot like pad kee mao, and my mom and I shared a Malaysian seafood plate that had fantastic flavors! I had to ask the staff what they put in it! So so good!We also got some sort of appetizer that was a mix of vermicelli noodles, spring rolls, fries, and more.It's A LOT of food. Def shareable unless you've got a big appetite.Their fruit teas are fabulous! Loved the one I got. My sister got a milk tea and didn't love the boba texture in it. Just meh. Great staff, quick service, food comes out fast, large portions. I'm sure I'll be back!"
"If you are a Jewish American that grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland like me chances are you've had your fair share of Americanized Chinese food growing up. Even after living in China and being exposed to "real Chinese food" (and LOVING it) sometimes I get nostalgic for the fake stuff. Yummy yummy Asian cuisine hits the spot of all the greatest hits -- egg foo young, pork fried rice, eggrolls are all solid and full of that msg flavor. I've never been here in person, only ordered carry out. The bubble tea smoothie is solid too. I'm a bit skeptical of the food from other Asian countries on the menu haha."
"Came here because my mom was craving their shrimp egg foo young. We also got beef with broccoli and crab Rangoon. Everything was great. Service was fast and food was hot."
"Food was good, and the portions were generous at reasonable prices. The highlight was the Singapore Noodles- better than most! General Tao and Orange Chicken tasted as they should, glad they weren't super breaded. I would've liked if the Yang Chow Fried Rice had more flavor, so I added a little soy saucd and chili. I also would've liked if the Crispy Chicken Wings had flavor or more seasoning.This was my first time and ordered directly from their website to support local. As a tip: They have great promotion offers, but be careful because dinner specials don't count towards the minimum $ order. I guess a small note flashes, but it's very easy to miss, so I learned after the fact and didn't get my free Salt and Pepper Shrimp. As a courtesy, they gave me free Crab Rangoon instead. Overall, I'd consider ordering again if I'm craving Chinese food."
"China Wok is my go-to Chinese restaurant. They have lunch and dinner specials that include an entrée, fried rice, and an eggroll. First, let's talk about the eggrolls. Chicago Chinese restaurants are better than any others that I've had in the nation for one simple rule that China Wok adheres to - a little bit of peanut butter in the eggroll. Not a lot, just enough to add flavor and to give the filling that perfect, drool inducing, consistency. China Wok makes my favorite eggrolls in the city. I used to be a huge fan of Pekin House on Devon because of the peanut butter in the eggrolls, and I was SO sad when they closed. China Wok satisfies those eggroll cravings though, so much so that I sometimes stop there just for two to get my fix.The lunch/dinner specials are packed with food. I can easily split one special between me and my daughter. My go-to entrees are Orange chicken, General Tso's chicken, Mongolian Beef, Andy's lo mein, and the Kung Pao Chicken. All of these items are super tasty, and the fried chicken pieces in the orange and General Tso chicken are meaty without TOO much breading. The rice is really good too. Even when I order delivery everything comes nice and fresh with my Orange chicken saucy, but still crispy.I usually call the restaurant for delivery, and they typically have it to my house within the hour. Last time I picked up the parking lot was kind of full, but there was someone dressed like Pikachu dancing across the street, so that was cool. The man and woman that are usually working are very sweet. One time they forgot something in my order, and credited my account. I forgot the next time I ordered, but they didn't. They sent the extra item without me even asking. I will legit be SO SAD if anything ever happens to China Wok, so go check them out! You won't be disappointed."
"I just moved into the Edgewater neighborhood and decided to try this place. Im glad I did!1. The woman who answered the phone was so sweet.2. Food was delicious3. Wings were HUGE4. A little pricey, however I will order againFor anyone who is looking for a quick, flavorful and mildly greasy dinner/lunch. This is the place!!"
