“Small footprint with a ton of people coming, so get here early and wait for them to open it check for reservations or some kind, otherwise you'll definitely be waiting!Great atmosphere, great service, and absolutely delicious food. Highly recommend the dry pot chicken as the spices and oils have that great numbing and continuing heat. Only tried one specialty cocktail, but it was top notch as well.Parking: Saturday evening, lots of space on the street for parking. That's a wildly variable thing for an n of one, though.“
“It's been ~4 days since we ate at Lao Peng you, and I still can't stop thinking about it. We heard about this place through watching The Bear, and it definitely lived up to the hype! We ordered the pork & dill dumplings, and the Dan Dan noodles, and it's honestly hard to pick a favourite. One thing to be mindful of is that the dill flavour was very strong in the dumplings (I love dill so this wasn't an issue, but thought it might be worth mentioning). My husband and I shared these two dishes and found them to be more than enough for the two of us at lunchtime. I wish I lived in Chicago so I could come back more often and try more of the menu!“
“I went in because I was craving affordable sushi and wanted to try a new place. To my surprise no sushi offered at this time :( Oh well. I was suggested the lunch special. It was a good deal and was fresh. General Tso's Chicken- The chicken was juicy with a nice crisp breading. The sauce was tangy, sweet and spicy! Yum :) The rice had a really good onion flavor with the right wok char. Not greasy and will leave you feeling good and satisfied. As for the location I found free street parking across the street. The place was quiet and clean.“
“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.“
“Visited this place with a friend a few times in the past, one of the best Asian restaurants in the area.You can tell the eggrolls are fresh when you can taste the ingredients instead of grease, and the sweet and sour sauce (ask for home made, not packet)- I'd say both are fantastic.Never had a single bad meal here, food is fast, staff efficient and courteous, and you get a large amount of food for the price.While it *can* get more expensive, sharing meals cuts down on the cost, and the food IS worth it.Only complaint is parking is iffy, but between Johnnie's beef and the other lots you'll likely find something nearby...pulls you out of the experience abit, but the food is worth it.“
“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!“
“If you read any of the reviews for Al's Drive In online, people have a ton of nostalgia for this place. I find nostalgia for a restaurant can play a negative role for those who don't have the association, but that wasn't the case for me who only ate here for the first time today. The Chicago dog and super taco were solid but the combination fried rice was the hero for me. Never thought l'd find this kind of wok hei flavor from a Chicago Red Hots institution in Maywood, IL that would remind me so much of the fried rice I grew up with at my Chinese immigrant family's restaurant in Arizona. Honestly just throw in some bean sprouts and you'd have a 1:1 copy. I may not have the same nostalgia that a lot of the usuals have with Al's, but that familiar taste of home is so present in every bite of this fried rice. I'm immediately transported to teenage me devouring a large combination fried rice at my own family's restaurant after working a full day's 12hr shift in the summer and immediately passing out in my bed when I got home. I wish I had started coming here sooner.“
“Must order. We are Chinese in the neighborhood and first time order. Unbelievable their food better than the restaurant in Chinatown. So delicious and good price. The restaurant is clean and good customer service. We will order again and again . Thank “
“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!“
“This is a great place for maki rolls... The service was very good. I love the fact you ordered your food and it came to the table fresh, great concept for buffet. Abit of advice go hungry and with more the 2 people for the buffet. Going back soon to try other foods for sure.“
“This place is great in my opinion, come here whenever I want some Chinese food , they're quick to get your order out , the food is hot n fresh , there are multiple ways to order ( I order over the phone ) they never disappoint, the lady at the front counter is always nice and patient , if u want a good hot meal this the spot , it can get busy but it's worth it ?“
“We went there last night and got a take out order. I love Chinese food. This food is the best ! The staff is very friendly and polite . The food is so good that this is My go to restaurant when I’m in Elmhurst from now on. I am very delighted that we stopped in .“
“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!“
“We have gone her so many times. This place never disappoints us. The ladies are super nice. Food is served fast. They also pack the left overs for you. They also have vegetarian options.They have these super delicious almond cookies they give along with the fortune cookies.Thr decorations inside are unique and give a nice cozy look.Occasionally there are free music shows. One night there was Rod Stewart. We didn’t know about him, but we checked later. He is a celebrity of sorts.“
“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+++“
“Food was good. Hit the spot. We had HK style chow mein with beef and it was good. Bbq pork fried rice was good. The pork flavor was subtle but tasty. Singapore style green beans were good. Cooked perfectly, wasn't undercooked with "chaulky" beans. Fresh! Peking duck was good. Not as fancy as some places but passsble and tasty. A few steps above Panda. Servers were good and attentive. Quality service.“
“Beef Peapods with onions were way too bland, slimmy and gelatinous; the whole family stunned. Everything else was perfect and with great portions! We loved the orange chicken, potsticker?, egg foo young and the beef fried rice was delicious.#“
“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.“
“A family run restaurant with great food and a friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The appetizer are start to every meal. A selection of appetizer and splitting a main course is often enough for two.Dietary restrictions: The food is made to order and meets the personal needs.“
“So I’ve been coming to this place since the 90’s. It’s definitely one of those places that simply satisfies and brings wholesome vibes into your comfort food. They’re very friendly and the food is unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. Cash is a must and it’s too small to dine in but you’ll definitely have enough for leftovers making them very reasonably priced. Don’t waste your money on Panda or anywhere else for that matter, THIS IS THE SPOT!“
“Always a wonderful experience at this restaurant. I love the Mongolian beef and the orange chicken. I just tried the beef fried rice spicy and it was gone in 10 minutes. They also have spicy popcorn chicken and smoothies. Small inside but big on flavor.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Always on point. Food is cooked as ordered. Though the pricing increased still decent amount of food.Vegetarian options: There are no vegetarian foods hereParking: Laramie is busy and the parking is one of those if you see a spot better grab it. I wouldn't suggest double parking in front of the restaurant becomes a clutterWheelchair accessibility: Access into store has a ramp and threshold. But there is no handicap parking spot“

“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.“
“New favorite Restaurant ?I delivered for Uber when I came across this gem. Staff super sweet, very busy at check out side - I love that for them. The air smells soooo good. I decided to grab my mom and we sat down an hour later. The food didn’t take too long to come out. When we seen the portions, we were shocked. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. Staff gave us extra small plates so Mom and I traded a little of our meats just yummmyyy. Went to the restroom very pretty, updated and clean. They played music videos definitely a vibe. Different kinds of seating in the dinning area. We sat at a booth. We grabbed to go plates, I for sure ate the rest for lunch the next day and will be going again pretty soon.Order:Fried Rice Plate with Green Pepper Steak comes with an egg roll.Side of Crab Rangoon w/sauceFried Rice Plate with Orange Chicken also comes with an egg roll.“
“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.“

“Great food. We had delivery and it was way faster than than the quoted time, delivery guy was super nice, food was still piping hot. General Tao’s was great, good rice, and rangoons are house made and ACTUAL lumps of meat instead of the usual whipped crab scented cream cheese you get at other places. Happy to have a place near by for delivery.“
“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!“
“I have been eating here for over 20 years! I used to live right around the corner! Even after moving out of state, I ALWAYS come back to eat here when I am in Chicago. They have always been great. The food is amazing. I’ve been to more Chinese restaurants than I could count all over the country and not one can compare to Lee’s Chop Suey. Hands down 10 out of 10 stars. I can’t wait for my next visit!“
“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!“
“Been coming here for some many times and the food always served hot fresh and fast..food tastes always amazing portion and prices reasonable..if you love wonton with noddles this is your place..serve with different topping your choice price varies..always serve hot“
“Ordered accidentally b/c this was on doordash and didn't realize it was a bit far from our Northbrook home and very happy we did! Everything was fresh and delicious. Asked for veggies to be added to the Shrimp lomein and rather than the load of cabbage and green peppers we get from other Chinese restaurants they added a nice mix of mushrooms, peapods and broccoli. Tasted like homemade noodles too! Egg foo young and other dishes were great as well. If they don't mind coming out this far - we don't mind ordering!“
“First time ordering from here, and we'll definitely be back. Food was fresh and absolutely delicious. The Xtra Large size is no joke!!! We ordered an Xtra Large order of sweet and sour chicken, BBQ pork egg foo young lunch special, crab Rangoon and BBQ pork ribs. The sweet and sour chicken was a huge hit, my kids absolutely loved it. Light and crispy, and it didn't taste oily at all. Egg foo young lunch special was great, really liked the plain fried rice it came with. BBQ pork ribs were tasty, as were the rangoon. They stuff those crab rangoon very nicely!Kid-friendliness: My kids loved the foodDietary restrictions: Let them know if you have any allergies etc, they seem accommodating“
“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!“
“This place is dead in the middle of the hood around dope n crack spots so be careful. Other then that, it's a good little fast food spot that has good prices. The owner Tony is cool as hell but yea if you don't know how to carry yourself in the hoof go with someone who does or call in ahead of time so you can walk in have your food ready n dip. Also offers beveragesVegetarian options: They got some stuff like different dishes that don't have any meatKid-friendliness: You can bring your kids but don't keep em in there long. So many strung out disgusting smellin people that literally haven't showered for minimum 1 year so you can imagine how it reeks. The babies don't need to be around thatParking: You can park on Pulaski close to directly in front of the shop or on Van Buren on the other street that intersects next to the shopWheelchair accessibility: I think you can fit wheelchairs“
“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.“
“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 ?“
