“Our first time here, it was last minute and we chose it based on a picture someone posted of a soup. We were pleasantly surprised to come in on a Sunday afternoon and we were provided with a table in one of their private rooms. We chose several options and when we tasted the soup, it was soo delicious. Everything was great. Can't wait to go back. We even got additional stuff to go.Kid-friendliness: The kids were offered a kiddie cocktail and they got a kick out of it.“
“Ever since my go to restaurant Hong Min closed, I have been searching for a new Chinese restaurant. I live 4 minutes away and my girlfriends wanted to try this new restaurant Harmony in Palos Heights. They both ordered Pina coladas and they said it's pricey but pretty delicious. My dirty martini is gross. Dirty martini was my choice of drink so I've had quite a few and this is one that normally tells you they don't know what they're doing. It's just straight up vodka. No vermouth and no brine. Nothing but vodka with ice.Service was pleasant. Very friendly and the place was pretty big. Love how spacious the booths are which was very comfortable.Pot stickers was big and doughy and I had the Mongolian beef and it was delicious but it is spicy. I can eat spice and this was right up my alley. Chicken fried rice was also pretty good. Love how big the portions are and not skimpy at all.If my dirty martini was good, I probably would have given them 5 stars. It is my fault for ordering a dirty at a Chinese restaurant but with a liquor license, I expect that's doable. They could have simply say, please order from the menu or wine. We don't do martinis. Still a decent 4 stars. Will definitely be back for other dishes maybe no alcohol for me.“
“Really, really, really great Chinese food! Everything is made fresh and made at order..Seen how everything is made with real and fresh ingredients is amazing! Honestly, my whole family talked how is better than other restaurant we gone around town.Check out the pics for your self and see how delicious it looks! A must try in Chicago Lawn AreaOwners are nice..You won’t regret it!“
“Food was great. I ordered egg rolls which were huge! Shrimp fried rice and sweet sour chicken. Takes time to prepare so call about an hour in advance. I believe there are just two people working. Perhaps a husband and wife business. Take out only!“
“My favorite place to get Chinese food! I’ve tried soooo many different places and keep coming back to this location whenever I visit my dad’s place in the burbs. I live in the city now and have tried many places there as well, but wish there was a Chen’s like this near my place. The food here is fresh, high quality, filled with flavor, good texture and never fails to make me full with the portions they give. I still have leftovers for the next few days!“
“Tonight was our 3rd time there and they never disappoint. Our server Maya was AMAZING! Very sweet young lady! She made sure we had everything we needed. She always had a smile on her face and laughed/talked with us while taking our order & checking in on us. Don’t hesitate to make a reservation here. And if you get Maya as your server, just know she will take care of you. Thank you Maya!!“
“I've been living in the greater chicagoland area for 3 years now and have struggled to find my go-to chinese spot and I finally found it! The egg rolls were delicious and so was the lo-me in. There is no dine it option, but your order is ready to carry away when you get there. Seamless pick-up with old school chinese restaurant charm.“
“My new favorite go to Chinese food restaurant! The owners are so kind, gave my children candy when we came in to pick up. Everything I had was very tasty. My go to's are Sesame chicken, egg rolls, crab ragoon, beef with peapods, and fried rice. They are all amazing so far. Chicken actually looks and tastes like real chicken. All the vegatables are fresh and you can tell. 5 stars! Also the food is FAST and not greasy like some places!“
“This has become one of our regular places since moving here. We used to have a great restaurant by our precious home and were concerned about moving away and not finding a suitable replacement. But fortunately we did. Upon arriving it is somewhat unwelcoming with the sign on the door saying "Masks Required" and the other sign on the window saying "Carry Out Only". Just could be nicer I guess. The inside has 4 nice booths for eating so not sure why you can't eat in? Once inside there is a sign on the washroom door saying "Not a Public Washroom". The place is very clean and maintained. Of course what is really important is the food, service and price. We had Shrimp Fried Rice, Curry Chicken, egg rolls and Won Ton Soup. All were delicious but a little pricey. This remains being our first choice for Chinese Food!“
“Came for the rave reviews about their dim sum and they didn't disappoint. Food was hot, fresh, tasty, good portions and staff was very attentive. Really have to hand it to the chefs. Although decor is nice, they really should've spent more time or money in hiring quality painters and that includes the restrooms. It would make the place so much nicer for a place that is touting to be a high end cuisine. Been told it's been open for about 4-5 months and will definitely be back for lunch or dinner.“

“Forbidden noodles' primarily culinary focus is Japanese Ramen and stir fry selections. The curry is good and tastes very much like the mild golden ramen brand Japanese curry that I make at home occasionally. The chicken and broccoli added to the standard rice and carrot/potato curry mixture were of good quality. The Tonkotsu had very good pork, and surprisingly, it included broccoli as well. The more common ramen garnishes of onions, baby bock choy, egg, naruto (fish cake), and seaweed were also in this bowl and tasted good. They have a cheese, steak, and jalapeño egg roll that was amazing, and yes, you should try one. Forbidden Noodles is a great addition to downtown La Grange and for this area, this is a good choice for ramen in the area. If you are searching for your favorite bowl of ramen anywhere around chicagoland, feel free to check my reviews of alternate ramen restaurant options.“
“One of the top Chinese restaurants in Chicago!Recommend the orange chicken. Sauce tastes homemade and chicken is high quality and perfectly fried.Also recommend the Chef Korean Special. Heart vegetables, meat and kimchi in a perfectly spicy and tangy sauce.“
“This is real home cooked Chinese food! Very simple old school stall in a food court but don’t let the surroundings fool you. This place is worth the 45 min drive for me. Best Chinese food in Chicago imo. LOVE the scallion pancakes. Everything tastes “
“I have tried all the Chinese food within a 20 mile radius after my old Chinese restaurant closed after the owners retired after 18 years. Oriental Taste is the best Chinese food I've ever had! I've eaten Chi-Tung in Evergreen Park and this place blows everyone away! A+++“
“I commute 25 minutes across town to this location. I haven't found a Chinese returante in chicago that meets or exceeds my taste buds as they do. 8 years and two issues that were easily corrected after informing them. Try the chicken wings, you'll love them. Mongolian Beef is to die for, coupled with a pineapple smoothie to wash it down.“
“Small no dining great food! Also you don't wait long unless you order a lot but clean I hate they are cash only a Lil dangerous but who am I! Decent prices and food always hot n fresh from what I experience just ate there tonight orange chicken and spicy fried rice can't go wrong!“
“It's been forever since I've had take-out Chinese food. With my family out of town, I had to get some! For $40, I got enough food for four days. It reheated well. The General Tso's chicken had just enough kick. The beef fried rice was plenty beefy. They had a steady stream of customers in and out. I can't wait to go back.“
“There are several great asian restaurants in La Grange, and most are pretty high end.Yau's Place is on the opposite end of the spectrum, but in a quaint kind of way.This is a hole-in-the-wall, mom-and-pop restaurant, run by a family that charmingly puts zero effort into creating an ambiance. I seriously say that with affection.This isn't a place you'd want to bring a date, but if you just want some good, cheap, fast chicken fried rice (or whatever your favorite Chinese dish is), I'd recommend it.Just be prepared to have a little "uhh.... are you open?" type of reaction when you walk in.“
“absolutely amazing all around....we were in town from Wisconsin and were referred to a different place further away but decided on here instead....thankful we did. The Ramen was superb, rolls were amazing, and service could not have been better! thank you“
“I've been coming here for years. Love their food, except their egg rolls for some reason. I usually order sweet and sour chicken with shrimp fried rice and steamed broccoli. Delicious. It's the standard pick-up only, quick service, fast food spot. Good portions, decent prices.“
“Food was delicious!I had the orange chicken with combination fried rice and an egg roll.Also ordered a mango smoothie with tapioca that was amazing!Service was excellent; the lady was very welcoming and wonderful, will definitely be coming back!“

“I'm completely addicted to this place. So far it's been the best Chinese food I've had since moving to Chicago.The sweet and sour chicken is wonderful. Most of the time the chicken balls are nice and crispy. The lo mein is also quite good. My favorite is their general tsos. It's just the right amount of sweet and spicy.The only negative is that they aren't open on Mondays.“
“Authentic and really wide range menu items, including tofu jelly/pudding, fresy soy milk, and fried dough. Family business with the family working during the weekend. There are 4 restaurants at the International Mall food court (next to Park to Shop asian grocery store) and this place is by far the busiest. Great value and great food.“
“Large parking lot that is usually empty or plenty of spaces. It’s next door to Park to Shop. There are technically 4 restaurants, you may see 5 but 2 of them are connected. The Serbian restaurant is almost always dead, not a lot of customers. It’s a shame because Serbian food is pretty tasty. On the weekends, they have Taiwanese breakfast at Chinese Cafe. Usually a long line. Good mix of Chinese and Taiwanese food. I would like to see them add more of the popular Taiwanese dishes. Prices are usually cheap to moderate. Good size portions.“
“Great sushi and gyoza dumplings. We got the shrimp tempura roll, Blackhawk roll, and sweetheart roll. All delicious. Very clean restaurant with nice, lounge-like decor. Very nice staff as well. Was not crowded on a Friday night but lots of takeout orders. We went later at night but I can imagine this place gets crowded at peak times.“

“Upon entering the restaurant with my wife and daughter, we found the ambiance to be extremely calming with traditional asian soothing music playing in the background and Chinese lantern lighting in the front window area. We then met and were seated by JoAnn, the co-owner of the restaurant. After receiving our soup (Hot and Sour) found it to be the most balanced (perfect hot/perfect sour) and delicious soup we have ever had in a long time. We then ordered pot stickers and Szechuan won ton, JoAnn explained all the pot stickers and won ton are homemade from scratch, not from frozen as well as the smoothies made with REAL fruit, no concentrate. Our main course was not overly saucey but flavorful with just the right amount of sauce to add to each dish's unique palette. It is important to note that each dish we ordered was very traditional to the way Chinese cuisine should be prepared and was not overly salty, oily, or seasoned. We left our host and the restaurant feeling satisfied and will be bringing the entire family in the very near future. We have finally found OUR new Chinese restaurant!“
“Our first time visiting. It was soooo pretty inside. Loved the music. Our waitress was awesome. (Wish I would have gotten her name.). The food was superb! We had pot stickers, shrimp fried rice and Governor's chicken. It was all delicious!! We will be back!“
“Had a catering order for Christmas day. Jennie was more than nice to explain the different party size trays and options available. She made sure that the food was hot and ready when I got there. Everyone said the food was some of the best they had. Will be back ?“
“Wow this place is awesome! We wanted to find a restaurant with good Chinese food on our way home from downtown and Harmony had positive reviews so we gave them a try. The outside is simple and straightforward, and a little deceiving in a really good way -- walking inside we were surprised at how much space there was, and the decor and fish tank were spot on! Friendly and fast service, tasty drinks, delicious food, a hidden gem!“
“Whats good Yelpers?! It's the Fat Boy again & this time I have some pretty good Chinese food here. I'm always looking for some great Chinese food but it's hard to find to my satisfaction. I just happen to get a flyer from Wing Wah Lau and the food looked pretty good so I decided to gave them a try. Inside looks like a place that used to be a sit in restaurant, now it's just a space where you can get good Chinese take out. And we know THOSE ARE THE PLACES FOR GREAT FOOD! Lol. When first going to any place new I try to order the basic. Because if they can't prepare the basic most common dishes Don't even think about trying anything else. So my wife and I ordered some Jumbo Shrimp Fried rice, shrimp egg foo young, fried Wontons & some pot stickers. And I must say everything was pretty good. The Jumbo Shrimp fried rice had a nice amount of "fresh" tasting shrimp. Very fresh & very tasty! (8.5/10) I asked for Jumbo shrimp egg foo young but they only serve regular shrimp egg foo young. Now to that I was disappointed as the small shrimp in Chinese food is normally not divined. But to my surprise these small shrimp were divined!! That was a major plus for me! (8.5/10) the pot stickers I didn't have they were for my wife. They were completely fried I've never seen a fried pot sticker. She said they were just ok she prefers the steamed and pan seared pot stickers she gave them a (5/10) the fried wontons was good! (7/10) I will most definitely be returning to Wing Wah Lau they've just become my place for fresh, tasty and very reasonably priced Chinese take out! Overall I give them a solid (8/10) And Remember my fellow Yelpers all reviews are subjective. Sorry my pictures don't do them justice. Trust me is fire!! And I was smashing Lol. I really give them a 4.5 stars!“
“China Garden offers a convenient option for Chinese cuisine to go. The menu features a variety of classic dishes like General Tso's chicken, fried rice, and lo mein. The taste is flavorful and satisfying, with good portion sizes. The restaurant's quick service makes it ideal for a quick meal on busy days. Prices are usually reasonable, offering good value for the quality and quantity of food. Keep in mind that taste preferences can vary, so it's always best to try a few dishes to see what suits your palate best.“
“Don't let the look Turn you away. The food inside is GOOD. The lunch special has gone down in size but it is plenty of food and I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with shrimp fried rice but I wasn't disappointed. This Very small place with no bathroom no seating area at the moment. Had a great beef and broccoli the fried rice wasn't the best but the size of the chicken inside is safe for children. The gravy is a little thick which I love and the rice was better with the gravy. Didnt come with a pop ? but its not advertised to so yay for the gas station across the street. Staff is friendly and I'm sure if I had questions she would have been knowledgeable and nice. Friendly when I had requested on no onions. Big egg roll delicious. Not price gouging. Order under $15 has a 50cent card fee. I was Happy to pay the fee.“
“N-Joy on 35th Street in Cicero is my go to for Chinese food when I'm in the Chicago area Southside!Rated over 4 stars & you can taste it in their food... My first time ever trying Beef Kimchi, what can I say, ate it all & really liked it... Speaking of trying, I tried their *Chicken Wings* - there goes my diet - very good & very crispy as I like & tender!!I have the utmost confidence & eager to try new dishes from now on... Really like all my go to order be it Egg Rolls, Shrimp Fried Rice, Crab Rangoons & Egg Foo Young to name a few... My GF likes the Beef Kow & her daughter likes their Wonton Soup... I've been slowly changing a few of my food choices over the past few years cutting down & or out my unhealthy foods for better & healthier, more Antioxidant rich foods... It's actually real easy to do... Think I'll be getting a extra large soup from now on with my take outs... My now new motto - Invest in Yourself!Can't wait to try all the soups as I always look at the choices!Cash or credit, their menu has coupons for free items on how much you spend which I like...Also any changes or additions they will make however you like, sometimes at a small fee...I only had take out so I can't give 5 stars, but definitely 4.5!!Thanks N-Joy & see you soon!“
“I go there with a group for the lunch specials and the food was tasty and generous portions. The waitress is friendly but doesn't talk much because she's the only one waitressing and looks very busy, answering phone, cleaning up etc.“
“Went there today for first time. Food Was Fire. I can't remember the last time I had Green Onions Cut Up On My Rice ,Egg Foo Young...... I'll Be Back. Thank You Very Much To Person Who Prepared My Food. I Can Tell They Cared And They Must Love To Cook. D.A.N.“
“I’ve been to this location many times for lunch and dinner, mostly pick up. The food here is quality is very good, the lunch menu is a great deal as seen on photo, the portion is great. Compliments to the Chef and all of the hard working staff! I recommend getting the jalapeño fried rice ! It is amazing!Parking: Parking lot on side of building“
“This place never fails to disappoint when I'm in the mood for some good Chinese food. The portions are fair for the price, and I've never had a complaint except that it's sometimes hard to order due to the limited understanding of English the owners have. They also always are very fast on delivery. Overall just a great hole in the wall Chinese place.“
“This is the best place for Chinese food! They give you such huge portions and for the price you can’t beat it! The food is always extremely hot and you can tell they make it all fresh! Me and my family have been going here for awhile now and never had a complaint! I highly recommend this restaurant!“
“We love Malahini Terrace! It is our favorite place. My spouse and I usually eat in under the cute thatch huts and twinkle lights. We get the meal for 2, which includes soup (hot & sour, egg drop) egg rolls & crab rangoon, and choice of two entries. Our picks are the Oriental Plate (pork fried rice, BBQ pork & BBQ ribs) and the Malahini Beef (tender straps of beef and veggies). This last time, we ordered out to feed our family of eight. Plenty of food, with leftovers for another day! Don't forget the fortune cookies and the silly way to read them. Wink wink.Always delicious! Yum!“
“Good all around restaurant. Mainly a to Jo joint. They have tables, but not waiters. If you buy the food, you can eat it there. Not in a typical restaurant design however.Wheelchair accessibility: Not the most room to maneuver a chair. I'd recommend sending someone to get your food.“
“AMAZING!!! We don't have a large selection of Asian food near us and decided to try Big 4s Chop Suey! WOW!! The food is delicious! The owners met us with a warm smile. Our food was done quickly, hot and plenty. Delicious!!! We will be back! Thank you!“
“I enjoyed the food here. I got five different plates and two drinks and paid $85, they give complementary tea, water and good service. They also have music playing in the background from a projector. They give large portions of foods. It was my partner and I only and we couldn't finish the food I think the serving is for like four or six people. Loved it! I would come again :)“
“I placed an order for chicken with cashews. I was thrown off a bit. I guess I expected breaded chicken. However, it was ok. But the star of the show was the beef-fried rice! It has been YEARS since I've tasted beef fried rice with so much flavor! Although this was my first time getting food from this restaurant. It was good food, great customer service, and reasonable prices. I will be back to order again.“
“Excellent tasting food. Large portions, so much so we have leftovers for dinner tomorrow. We tried their sizzling rice soup which had great flavor which included shrimp,chicken and pork with an abundance of vegetables. I went with my Mom and had 2 appetizers, shared the large soup (left overs there too) and our own main dishes and the Taro bubble drink. All for under $60. Unheard of these days! The services was quick and friendly. We landed up going here because our go to place was closed for a vacation. So glad we did because we found our new favorite place for Chinese food. I highly recommend you try their food.“
“I had a bad experience with DoorDash when I ordered from here, but that's not the restaurant's fault. But I will say that the food was really good, even though it was cold by the time I finally got it. I'm thinking that the food must be amazing when it's hot and fresh!“
“Amazing human beings run this place! I was having the worst day yesterday as a mental health professional. (Literally three clients has sudden losses of a spouse/fathers this past week). At the end of the day, I wanted nothing more than some good comfort food. I googled Jade Garden and placed an order online. I waited the 1/2 hour and went to retrieve my order only to find that they didn't have one. It didn't take long for me to realize that I ordered from the wrong Jade Garden. Despite my best effort, the tears started rolling as I called and asked if they could cancel my $60 order. I explained that I was sitting in front of a Jade Garden and just realized my error that I ordered from the wrong one. I was told that my order was already made. I think I mumbled something about donating it as I was sitting in front of Jade Garden in VALPARAISO, IN and could not get it. In an act that I can only explain as being one of true compassion, the person said they would cancel my order. I write this not because of the returned money (although I'm extremely grateful) but rather to tell anyone interested that a restaurant is more than just its food and service. I really needed a "win" yesterday and you delivered just that! Thank you, Jade Garden! You are a true class act!“
“They have great luncheon specials with generous portions and a free egg roll. I love hot and spicy dishes; my favorite is Kung Pao Beef which has a ton of flavor (nice heat), a lot of beef, peanuts and very tasty fried rice. I also like their Shrimp Egg Foo Yung. The other reviewer here is totally wrong. Either he needs to add soy sauce or maybe he was going through chemotherapy and had lost his sense of taste. Their service is also terrific and if you phone in your order ahead of time it will be piping hot ready for pickup iun about 15 minutes within 15 minutes.“
