Honestly, this place has better quality than the Chinese restaurant next to Pizza Hut. The salt and pepper egg tofu is my favorite thing to order here. It's even good when you reheat it the next day for a packed lunch.

Good! If you haven't tried it give it a try. My favorite is the deep fried tofu with chilis, and their vegetable dishes are good too (I have had the string beans, as well as the eggplant several times. It focuses on take-out, but you can eat in the food court area.

Red Pepper has become my go-to Chinese food in Naperville/Aurora. As the name suggests, spicy Sichuan dishes are their specialty and they're all delicious. The food isn't sweetened like some other Americanized menus in the area.It does take a bit of time to get your order, but it's well worth it and makes sense - there are usually a few orders in the queue at any time and everything is made from scratch (you can see it being prepared!).

Order food and shop for some good snacks at Park to Shop! Szechuan Spicy Green Beans and Fried Rice are good.

This is a cute family owned shop in the food court of park to shop. I wanted to make black bean clams but park to shop only had large clams so I ordered the dish here instead! It was very flavorful and there were plenty of clams. My husband got the beef with broccoli and it was very tender. He also got the hot pepper beef but it was too spicy for him.

I personally think this is the best Chinese restaurant in the Aurora/Naperville area. The owners are Cantonese, but their Szechuan dishes are pretty on point just as good as their Cantonese dishes. They do get really busy during lunch or dinner time. I would recommend calling ahead. In my experience I always need to wait 30-40 mins ish.

This shop is a small open-kitchen booth type of restaurant inside Park&Shop supermarket; the next open-kitchen booth is also owned by the same lady selling roasted duck/pork. The lady owner spoke (gossip) about customer that she doesn’t like to the cook and the cook had no choice to go along with the lady owner’s willful thinking and to violate the business ethics~ not to cook for customer. I witnessed such instance and believe that this violated the general rules of business services that the shop advertised to provide. I also witnessed that she may sell 1/2 strip of roasted pork to others but chose not to sell 1/2 pork to another person for the reason that she couldn’t sell the other half if the whole strip of pork is not purchased. I believe such kind of business behaviors with unfair treatment are legally not correct and should be able to be raised to Consumer Rights Bureau to be sure this shop owner treat every customer equally without bias when running her business.

So good. We got the lunch deals and it hit just right. Great price, great portions, great flavor.Parking: There's a lot out front
Their hard family business deserves respect.I like their food, is not as sweet as in similar Chinese restaurants.

Food ingredient is not fresh, especailly shrimp and chicken. Chicken has a strong sticky smell.Very oily. Half of the dish is oil.

If you want a decent Chinese Food, go with it. More toward Cantong style.

The dishes priced at 17$ include so many vegetables and no meat. Fish-flavored shredded pork or fish-flavored vegetables? ? 17$ for most vegetables? I rather buy ingredian cook at home!
