“The orange chicken had a nice, crispy texture and was delicious. They provided generous portions of delicious orange chicken, beef fried rice, and crab rangoon.”

“Wen Cai Chinese is some of the BEST Chinese food. Moving to Chicago, it took a while to find my favorite Chinese restaurant, but finding Wen Cai has been a godsend. The service is amazing, the food is spectacular, and the prices are great. I usually get the orange chicken and the appetizer platter. Their egg rolls are AMAZING! I also received this keepsake calendar on my last visit and I’m so humbled and appreciative.”

“ES UN RESTAURANTE MUY BUENO, SIRVEN COMIDA MUY BIEN PREPARADA, FRESCA Y DELICIOSA. EL SERVICIO ES MUY BUENO. LOS PRECIOS SON MUY BUENOS. NO ES EL MAS LUJOSO PERO OFRECE GRAN VARIEDAD DE PLATOS”

“This place has some very good food me and my fiance ordered two dinner specials which was beef egg foo young with chicken fried rice and my fiancé had kung pao chicken with chicken fried rice as well we ordered chicken wings and pot stickers as well the woman who serviced us was very nice I will definitely come back here .”

“I ordered a six piece chicken combination plate and orange chicken combination plate. The price was better than I've seen in years Karma but the size of the chicken was disappointing. I also paid more for the 6 piece chicken than I did the orange chicken.”
“I used to like this Chinese restaurant food but the last time I ate the something wasn't right and I really don't want to go back anymore”
“Great portions with great flavors for great prices. This is my go-to for take-out Chinese food!”
“Smoothies are great 😊Lady in the register is always accommodating when needing anything with your food 🍱 thank you 🙏”
“Was pleasantly surprised to see such a highly rated Chinese spot so close to my neighborhood. Was unpleasantly surprised to see that even though we are only 10 minutes away, we are outside the delivery zone (60624). We ended up ordering take out in spite of this because the prices were so good. I am baffled that Garfield Park is outside the delivery zone for a place that is basically next door in Douglass park-- it made me bump the service rating from 5 to 3. We ordered two lunch specials and a taro smoothie, which was a substitution because they did not have papaya. A kind lady called to let me know about the papaya, which I appreciated. The portions were huge especially considering we chose the lunch special. The food was great, exactly what I was looking to eat. I think they threw in some free egg rolls and tapioca for the smoothie mix-up, which I appreciate. We will be back, it hit the spot.”
“Fresh, delicious and big portions highly recommend. You must try the beef chow fun noodles and I also get the shrimp egg foo young dinner combo.”
