This use to be our favorite Chinese takeout when the elder Mom and Dad ran it for years, before they retired. Quality service, friendly atmosphere. Great food. Now, the youngsters have taken it over, and wow, we really miss Mom & Dad. Portions are now smaller, several times the low mein boxes were open and got all over the bag. Also once, we ordered and paid for two egg rolls. We only got one. When I brought it up, the kid at the counter was extremely defensive and aggressive saying I was trying to cheat them and they know positively they put the egg roll in. I could honestly care less about the egg roll missing. I know the previous owners would have laughed and just gave us an egg roll. What bothered me was the attitude and meanness from their staff. Sad to see such a great establishment go bad like this.

Poor service especially when using grubbyhub or any other service that the restaurant dosent provide. Stick to places that have their own drivers and can be accountable for the good name of a business.

Food is ok .. I think it's stupid there is a min amount to use a debit card - so forget getting lunch here unless you have cash. PETTY!

I picked up lunch here while running errands. I ordered the lunch orange chicken (extra spicy) and an egg roll. The chicken was very mild and the entire meal lacking flavor.

Don’t waste your time or money going here. I ordered combination plates, the orange chicken was fried a little hard and the sesame chicken was fried the same. some of the pork in my fried rice had burnt pieces of meat and my egg roll was greasy. The portions of food is not worth the price. Take your money

8/11/23: Ordered the Beef Szechuan. It was okay. Meat portion was generous and tender. Not a lot of veggies. Sauce was a tomato ketchup type of sauce. This Chinese stir fry is suppose to have buttery tender beef enveloped in dynamic spicy brown sauce made from layers of chiles, garlic, ginger and of course Szechuan peppercorns ..but didn't. Very bland, dull not really Szechuan cuisine at all in my humble opinion. I had to add Szechuan Chili sauce (Dynasty brand rocks) and Chinese Five Spice powder to get this dish anywhere near Szechuan. The portion size was okay. Price was so so. Keep in mind that what these Chinese restaurants charge they are making a huge profit. For a $15.00 dish I could make it for under $6.00 Now onto the rice. IS THERE ANY CHINESE RESTAURANT OUT THERE IN THE ELGIN/HANOVER PARK/STREAMWOOD AREA THAT SERVES FLUFFY, LIGHT RICE???????? I haven't had light, fluffy, moist good rice from any Chinese restaurant in decades. Every Chinese restaurant I've eaten at has served under cooked, hard rice. The Chinese are suppose to be really into rice so why can't they serve good, moist, fluffy rice? :-( Why and they don't care. They no longer take pride in their cuisine.
