Several friends told me about this restaurant so tonight I stop in for carry out. Very busy place so that impressed me. Friendly staff and once I got home the food was very good. I had LoMien which was very tasty my friend had combo fried rice and he said very good. We split a order of Crab wonton very tasty. I recommend this restaurant read more

We have been coming here for about 3 years since discovering this great place to eat! Today, hankering for some great Chinese, I placed an online order. It was ready in less than 15 min and placed safely on the table in the entry way for me to pick up. I drove home approximately 10 miles and it was still piping hot! We got an order of shrimp fried rice, cashew chicken, crab Rangoon and spring rolls all for $25.... you cannot beat the price, the food or the great owners and their children! Support local and order from Akiou!! read more

I love Aikou Restaurant. The food is always good, great portions as well. Food is always hot and fresh. Plenty of lunch specials and dinner options! read more

The food here is probably the best I've had in the KC metro area, but the Chinese women out here just looooooooove to yell at you when you call in an order. Her daughter and sister (I think?) help out at the restaurant and deliver insane customer service. So, if you can get past the "WHY DID YOU CALL ME RIGHT NOW?" attitude of the owner, or by luck, get to talk to the other sweet ladies, you'll find the food is fresh and to New York style Chinese food taste. It's definitely not your run-of-the-mill fast Chinese food experience. The restaurant itself is small but welcoming, very clean and well-lit. Order at the counter and sit down wherever. Very casual. read more

Aikouuuuu~~~!!! By far my favorite take out place. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I have this soft spot for NY style Chinese. No idea why. Your usual appearance for a Chinese place. Booths, open kitchen, child studying at a table, faded pictures of dishes on the board above the counter. Service, though, is always friendly. I usually steer towards sesame/general tso's chicken, and fried things like egg rolls and crab rangoon, all of which are tasty. They have lunch specials, and they do deliver for I think a $25 minimum. read more

I don't remember having a bad experience last time I came here, so maybe tonight was a one-off situation, but the service was horrible. When I called in the woman I spoke with would barely take my order, so naturally when I went to pick it up it was wrong. She seemed very frustrated that I ordered it wrong and almost charged me the same price until the child working there corrected her. Overall, was just a very unpleasant experience and I won't be going back. read more

I love this place for a quick bite and generous amount served. The staff is awesome and very friendly.

This is the best Chinese takeout you'll get in Lees Summit! I've tried them all, and this takes the cake. The appetizers, crab rangoon especially, was fantastic. I've only had their chicken dishes and they are superb. The soup isn't the best I've had around so I'd skip it, but most dishes are good. Plus their sweet and sour sauce is a little different than other places but I do enjoy it! If you're looking for good Chinese takeout this is it. Dragon J, Hyvee, master wok, and some places in independence don't come close. read more

In terms of food quality and taste, this was a very unpleasant experience. My husband and I just wanted some quick Chinese takeout and weren't looking for a 5 star restaurant, but we were floored with how bad our food tasted from this establishment. A few bites into our meal, we decided to not finish our dishes... we have never done this before. It was not worth finishing and I was afraid of the digestive repercussions. In light of saving others from this terrible experience, I wanted to write this review as a warning. read more

Not sure how this has any bad reviews. The owner is very feisty and I love her. The food is always on point and kitchen always looks clean. Best Chinese Takeout in LS. read more

Aikou is a little treasure for good food. They make delicious quality Chinese American food. They are always busy and they work hard. It is a small dining area with a nice seating area with tables to wait for the order. Each time I have been there people have just taken their food to go. We have been there 10 times? and always enjoyed our food! read more

Best Chinese in Lee's Summit. I was a little hesitant at first but once i gave in, im glad i did. I usually stick with one Chinese place when i find one i like, so the fact that i liked it as much as i did was very impressive. The lady who works the front counter has a great memory. The staff is very funny and helpful. read more

I love Aikou! I come here multiple times whenever I'm in town. Very flavorful dishes, my favorites are the orange chicken and the Moo goo gai pan. Always fresh and very timely. They get a lot of flack for their customer service, which admittedly isn't the best, but they're literally just there to do their job and serve tasty food. Expecting anything more is setting yourself up for disappointment :) read more

First visit. Great example of indifferent service. The waitress was eating at the counter and whining about the landlord. Hot and sour soup was good They forgot the egg roll The beef and broccoli was hot (not spicy) but the broccoli was raw and the beef was tough and full of gristle. The brown fried rice was not fried. It tasted like instant rice. read more

I absolutely LOVE their food!!! I order carryout or delivery. Everything is perfect. It is hot when it gets here. Everyone is so nice. The containers are large & I get at least 5 meals out of 1 entree & 2 sides. Best Chinese restaurant in Lees Summit!!! read more

Excellent food! Very fresh, quick service, did I mention very fresh? The restaurant is clean, food was served very quickly. We had beef lo mein, broccoli chicken, and chicken on a stick. We will definitely come back! read more

See all

They were friendly, easy, and had fast delivery. Most importantly the food was excellent. They will get all of my future Chinese food orders! read more

Unprofessional customer service. Won't eat food from this place again. Soup was basically water and bland and the orange chicken wasn't crispy. It was mushy. I usually leave good reviews but this place really blows wang. read more

Love the food here (except for the egg rolls, they're not the best) & I've ordered take out several times, but the customer service is total garbage on the phone AND in person at this place. read more

I've never tried this place before so I decided to call and see about getting delivery (I have young kids and it's easier to deliver). I asked if they had delivery and she said "no, we don't have enough workers" I started to say "oh ok, I guess that's all" and she hung up mid sentence. I guess I won't be trying this place. read more

The food was terrific! Don't let the small restaurant & take-out atmosphere deter you. The food was excellently prepared, fresh and abundant with ingredients. I haven't seen sweet and sour chicken served with the pineapple and veggies in years. Hot and sour soup was tasty with all the ingredients, instead of just the broth and egg like some places. Chicken lo mein was delicious and the kids split that with lots left over. The "chicken with veggies" had the white garlic sauce (moo goo gai pan) vs. the brown sauce "chicken with mixed vegetables" it is sometimes served with at other places. Crab Rangoon, steamed rice, and fried rice were well prepared too. Everything was good! We got the dinner combos and the portions were generous. They deliver too! Just moved to Lee's Summit and we are happy to have found our new place to order Chinese from. FYI Your maps app may send you in the wrong direction like it did for us. It's located in the middle of a strip mall on the Southeast corner of Chipman and 291 hwy. Look for IHOP. read more

Don't listen to the negative comments, there food is amazing legit id marry the cook if i could, the Family running the place is very kind and loving, and the food is made with love, 10/10 guaranteed On God. read more

Tonight was our second time ordering from here. I always prefer to place my food orders online. So, I don't know about any poor phone customer service. The delivery guy was great both times. This is one of very few places to be able to get Singapore Mei Fun, and theirs is excellent! I have a hard time finding any place with good Kung Pao chicken these days, but Aikou has the best!!!! I love that it is loaded with veggies, chicken, and peanuts! No bland bites at all! The sauce is rich and so flavorful! I also love that they chop the ingredients small, how the dish should be. We love the crab Rangoon and teriyaki chicken here, as well! I have found my new favorite Chinese food in LS, after living here for 18 years! read more

This is my go to, favorite Chinese food place around. They have extremely fast delivery, the ordering process is so fast on the phone, they save your address and everything. The food is always great, the service always great. I can't possibly speak any higher of them! read more

OMG probably some of the rudest people on the phone. While I do love the food and the speedy delivery--the customer service could be kicked up like 10 notches. I cringe every time I call in...wish it was easier to customize to order online then I would NEVER have to talk to them again. read more

Twice I have had Sweet & Sour Chicken - pretty good. Today I visited during the dinner hours and ordered my favorite: Orange Beef. AWFUL !!! - the beef was at least 95% fat. I threw all the Beef away saving the sauce for the Fried Rice. Never again. There are too many other Chinese restaurants in the area offering excellent food. read more

I enjoyed my first visit ! It was very unplanned but worth the trip. Not only was it my first time but the food was prompt, delicious AND fresh and hot ! - (Cy) Ty Scott read more

The service is terrible. They are on you quick and pushy, rude about taking order as well. We were only the second table there, so it was not about being busy. On top of that, the food is average at best so between that and the terrible service there is no reason to not choose one of the many other Chinese food restaurants in the area. read more

The food I purchased was amazing. I'd have to say that their Crab Rangoon is the best I've ever tasted. However, I've eaten at my share of Chinese restaurants but this one takes the cake. The customer service is horrible. Whatever happened to being polite to your customer. The lady who took my order was mean spirited, dismissive, and rude. It's one things to cook great food but you also have to treat your customers right, so Aikou get it together cause "ain't no body got time for that." read more

Terrible service. Average Chinese. doesn't deserve the star rating that enticed me to try it.

Rude rude rude! The woman that answered the phone said they wouldn't deliver to my house because it was too far. Has she checked her map again, she might have noticed that we were in her delivery zone if the driver takes the most efficient route. Instead she hung up on me! I will never step foot in this place for sure! read more

Service, service, service. This place does not have it. We called in a order for delivery like we always do. After 40 minutes called back to check on it. I was told they did not have a order for delivery, then was asked if I called the right number? By the way, she was the one who took my order and I am pretty sure they have caller id. I then repeated my order, it then jared her memory. Proceeded to tell me I did not say for delivery. Wrong answer. "Do you still want it?" Will it be made again, fresh? A firm no. I cancelled it. No sorry for the confusion or the wait. They did not care. Hey owner, I speak matter of a fact too. So here it is, your food is good. Your attitude, your service and your dealing with customers is deplorable. We will never order from you again. A big no go to. read more

If you're looking for good cheap Chinese food this is just the place. The Kung Pao chicken had great flavor. The fried rice could be better but overall this place is really good. I also love that it's family owned and operated. read more

I always enjoy my food from here. As far as good goes, it is excellent. Customer Service needs work. Today is the first day I think encountered the rude worker everyone talks about in the reviews. She addressed me by saying, "Ok, girl, it's your turn" She was unapologetic and even said "well you are a girl not a boy, right?" I had to let her know that wasn't the proper greeting for a customer and that I preferred "ma'am". Other worker was nice. Probably won't come back for a while. read more

Well you can color me surprised by how much I enjoyed eating here. Went here with some people from work to give it a try (especially since my work is in their delivery zone). It is very small inside (I think maybe 10-12 tables) so it seems carry-out and delivery are their main business. Their lunch specials were excellently priced and averaged about $5-6 and for that you got an entree, fried rice, crab rangoon or egg roll and your choice of soup. I didn't want soup so they gave me an extra crab rangoon (which was delicious by the way, not greasy at all and had a generous amount of cheese). I opted for the Kung Pao chicken. Wasn't overly spicy but still had a good kick. Good portion size for the price (I actually took a little back to the office with me where is was summarily eaten). Definitely going to have to start getting Chinese more often at work. read more

I love this place, we order about once a week and our food is delicious! The owner is a sweet lady who speaks in a very matter-of-fact tone but don't confuse it with being rude. Our food is always fresh and we had not had anything we didn't like. We usually order the basics such as chicken fried rice, beef broccoli, and their spring rolls but we have also enjoyed their chicken mei fun, chow mein, lo mein, etc. Try it for yourself, you won't regret it. read more

I go here way too much. Their egg drop soup and lo mein are the best!! The restaurant's run by a family who knows what they're doing. The lunch prices are unbeatable for the amount of food you get. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone. read more

This is the best chinese food in Lee's Summit. We usually order once a week and the quality is always good. Even with a 15 min drive home the quality is still good for take out. Egg Drop soup is good, Egg rolls and crab rangon are great, Love the Generals chicken, LoMein's, and chicken fried rice. We most generally split an order and get soup, egg rolls and crab rangoon. read more

Only because I couldn't do 2.5 stars. This place was very average. I got delivery and the lady on the phone was very unprofessional. Although the food did come in 20 minutes, she told me it would be 30-40. The man who brought it was on the phone the entire time and didn't even say hello or acknowledge my presence when I came to the door. Their egg drop soup was pretty good but the crab rangoon was not good at all. I did however enjoy the pork lo mein. All in all, I don't see myself ordering from this place again. But I could end up giving them another try. read more

Best Chinese food that I've ever had. Always made fresh and the portions are very filling. Try the Sesame Chicken.
