“Every neighborhood needs a solid Chinese takeout spot.”

Every neighborhood needs a solid Chinese takeout spot. Unfortunately, this ain’t it. Located a strip mall one block north of Chicago border, this is the only Chinese option for those confined to 2-mile radius. But those that can get around further, there are better options within 10-minute drive. Overall, the biggest issue is lack of flavor in all of the items from wonton soup to fried rice. It is also problematic when mixed vegetable dish tastes alike to chicken and beef dishes. Such bland dishes may get by in remote areas of Wisconsin, but it can’t compete in first ring suburbs of Chicago.

“I ordered their salt and pepper shrimps with Singapore rice noodles.”

I ordered their salt and pepper shrimps with Singapore rice noodles. It was such as terrible first experience and I would not be returning. I spent a little over $32 and they give you good portions. First, the noodles should be called curry noodles because that’s all it was. It seemed as though they dumped curry powder on the noodles and added the proteins. Second, the salt and pepper shrimps were disgusting to say the least. You could tell they used old oil to fry them from the smell and taste. The shrimps were also dry and very stale. From the pictures, you can see the shrimps still had the black veins in them because they didn’t clean them before cooking. I was really rooting for this spot because of the good reviews but, I’m so scarred from this experience. There’s definitely room for improvement because this isn’t it.

“I don't usually write reviews right after finishing a meal, but this one really stayed with me.”

I don't usually write reviews right after finishing a meal, but this one really stayed with me. I've been working through the holidays in the service industry, and it's been exhausting in every sense. Long days, little rest, barely any appetite, I've mostly been getting by on whatever was quick at work. After finally making it through New Year's, I decided to stop and pick up something on my way home. I called my order in and was quoted 15 minutes. The woman on the phone was kind and welcoming. When I arrived a little earlier than expected, my order was already ready. The restaurant was bright and clean, and the gentleman at the counter was so helpful. After the week I'd had, that interaction alone meant a lot. When I got home, my food was still piping hot and carefully packed. You could taste the freshness of the ingredients, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared, like someone actually cared about what they were sending out the door. This meal was exactly what I needed. I'll absolutely be back. This place truly deserves the business.

“We’re probably their best customer because we come so often, but it’s truly the better Chinese...”

We’re probably their best customer because we come so often, but it’s truly the better Chinese places in the area with affordable prices and great chicken dishes. Sesame, general tsao, etc are all great. Overall it’s pretty consistently good and great service. Owner knows us by first name lol. Dont usually like leaving reviews but since we’ve been consistently going for years might as well.

“Really good Chinese food.”

Really good Chinese food. Not too greasy, or saucy. Made just right. High quality ingredients. I'm so happy they're in Lincolnwood so I don't have to go all the way to Chinatown or Evanston. I got their traditional potstickers (those are the handmade ones with the thicker outside dough), mooshoo pork (It's like a taco meets peking duck but healthier because it has cabbage and mushrooms and you can wrap it yourself. The beef chow fun was on point and the same is they make at Ming Hing. Fried rice was perfect. I'm sure everything else is really good too. It seems like there's new ownership and the new owners are really nice and organized. She also gave me a complimentary chili oil. Feel very lucky that this place is just a few minutes away and has fresh wok made food!! They also cater!

“I’m so glad this restaurant is right next door to my workplace—I order from here a couple of times a week.”

I’m so glad this restaurant is right next door to my workplace—I order from here a couple of times a week! My go-to dishes are BBQ pork, lo mein, salt fish, wonton soup, and crab rangoon, and everything is just spot on. Unlike many other Chinese restaurants, the food isn’t overly greasy. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. Plus, the receptionist is super nice and friendly. I’ll definitely keep ordering from here until I move out of the neighborhood! 🤣🤣

Delicious food. Eggrolls are fantastic. Not much to look at from the outside and it is mostly a take-out place but do NOT let that sway you away from eating their food. Good portions, reasonable prices.

“Guaranteed to be the best Chinese restaurant in town.”

Guaranteed to be the best Chinese restaurant in town. The owner is constantly buying fresh ingredients to insure the best quality. I've lived in China and this place definitely can have the authentic taste. Asian kitchen Express has vegan, and vegetarian options which a lot of other restaurants will not want to provide. Everything is made to order

Placed a large order (80 meals) for lunch and they were so kind and labeled with the names of all the employees. Food was delicious and delivered on time. We used the website which was very easy to use. Highly recommend having lunch here.

“Really good ramen at a decent price.”

Really good ramen at a decent price. They are very heavily pork oriented but there were enough options for me to be satisfied.
