“first off I have no idea where some of these negative reviews are coming from and they are clearly too harsh. Our family have been customers for years and have yet to be disappointed. The portions are more than adequate , the quality of the ingredients have never disappointed, and the service has always been prompt and impeccable. Having said that , you reap what you sow. We are always kind and generous to this hard-working staff... intern they have been the same with us for almost a decade. If you treat others like a whiny, impetuous child, then you may receive lackluster products and services. Given that this is a small family business that feel economic pinches much harder than large restaurant chains, I’m not going to pay that much attention to the harsher reviews regarding portions. For reference, the photo shows the leftovers after a very generous dinner for two. There were nearly 2 pounds of high-quality shrimp and freshly cooked vegetables in this huge container with more than six huge, full wings in the other. We were absolutely stuffed and it was absolutely delicious. on a Sunday night with cruddy weather and heavy traffic , I’m grateful to be able to place an order online and have hot delicious food delivered in 1 hour.”
“Wonderful Cantonese, Chinese old school cooking. I really love their Cantonese, eggrolls, beef, fried rice, and shrimp and lobster sauce Wonderful family owned and great service Highly recommend!”
“Disgusting!!! Zero stars!!!! This place is gone way way way downhill for a long time!!! don't waste your time or money! Specifically, I ordered the Hawalian chicken. It arrived in a gelatinous glue for the sauce. The chicken itself was overcooked and burnt. I've lived in this area for a long time and I can't believe how bad this place has become. It's such a disappointment. Also when a restaurant has the policy of no refunds and no exchanges on food, it tells you that there's more of a problem there than a one off order. That means they're typically serving garbage and don't wanna stand behind their products at all. Apparently a lot of people are complaining that's why they have this policy so, again save your time and money. Don't eat here!!! Don't order delivery!!! Don't order anything save your time and money!!!”
“Omg I just ordered pad Thai because I didn’t want to travel in traffic to my usual spot, and I regret so much that I didn’t sent in traffic. That was by far thee worse Chinese food I’ve eaten in my 38 years of living on this earth.”
“As we were eating we found hair in food and called them about it and their responds was that they don’t fix issues with food or refund. And they said it’s their policy and we went and nothing was posted. Their responds was that if hair bothered us just to take it out and eat the rest of rice. Person who Answered was super rude. My mouth dropped with their answer. Went in and they do not wear hair nets”
“If you like Cantonese style egg rolls, ( if you know, you know) this is the place. The vegetable fried rice was very flavorful and the sweet and sour chicken was equally delicious. Huge portions too! It's my new stop for Chinese in Chicago. Staff was very very nice as well. Give it a try! I'm glad I did!”
“Haven't eaten there yet but I heardthe egg rolls are amazing....”
“This place is seriously amazing. Possibly some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had! I got potstickers, Mongolian beef and bbq pork fried rice and it blew me away how good it was! You really have to try it!”
“My favorite dish to eat-in is the Moy Lee Special which has mounds of pan-fried noodles topped with an assortment of vegetables and chicken, BBQ pork and shrimp in a light sauce. Friendly, patient servers.”
“This restaurant is divine... The service is excellent and the food exquisite and delicious. I recommend it for the quality of service and always available parking. Judy and Wu they always are happy and make us very welcome ✨✨✨✨✨”
