We ordered a…read morevariety of our staple items for carry to enjoy with the family as we are on the hunt for our go to Chinese take out. The food was bountiful for the prices, and came out quickly. We had the fried rice, walnut shrimp, salt and Pepper tofu, a quart of wonton soup, and peppered beef. Each of these dishes came with a box of steamed white rice. The fried rice was a bit too dry for our liking, but when topped with all the sauce from the various dishes it was fine. The walnut shrimp was fine as well, the shrimps were a bit overdone where they were chewing but the flavors were great. I think my favorite dish was the peppered steak, the only thing is that the green peppers were such huge pieces it didn't fully cook and because the focus of the dish. Overall it was an okay experience, we'd consider trying other dishes on the menu next time.

Our go to Thai restaurant in the area. Perhaps I'm being picky with the various locations but when…read morewe come here I can always count on the flavors being spot on. My favorite items to get here are the Tom Yum soup, they let you choose the protein and the spice level and have an option for both bowl or a cup. The cup is about a pint size which is a great portion. I love getting the Tofu with this soup because I feel like it soaks in the flavor and breaks up the yummy spices. For the different levels of spice, just a heads up that there is a huge difference for a medium in a cup versus a medium in a bowl. Both are delish, but the cup medium is SPICY in the best way. I also really enjoy their basil fried rice with chicken. You can take the sauteed char from the basil and the medium in this is also spot on for us. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to try a higher heat, because Thai chilis are no joke! All in all, we frequent here often since moving up here and are so glad to have a staple in the area and in our regular rotation.

This was one of the best Thai food in northern suburbs. We were at gurnee mills mall and instead of…read morehaving like crappy mall food, we decided for a sit down restaurant with decent food. This is not too far from the mall. Usually Asian restaurants don't really focus on the interior decor unless they are upscale. The good thing about this place was I even liked their decor, which gave a good vibe. Only different thing was the servers didn't wait at the table, you had to order at the counter. And the silverware was more like plasticware.. Food 5 stars Ambiance 5 stars Service was quick

Only downside is that some of the dishes are NOT hot enough. I tried a chicken that was room temperature and a dumpling that was literally cold in the middle. You have to really watch for the steaming dishes that were just brought out or you risk getting cold food, and that's pretty annoying and unappetizing.

My family and I went…read morehere for the hibachi, on top of the hibachi person not speaking or understanding a lick of english, you have to order your hibachi from that same person instead of buffet style and bringing it over for him to cook. Very limited options. As we were waiting to order I allowed my 2 family members to order first so he started making their food while im standing there waiting. in the meantime a mess up of his came back and he proceeded to remake that order before taking care of me as i was already waiting. i allowed it without saying anything. 15 minutes later of me standing there he proceeded to ask me "what you want". I gave him my order which was pretty simple and I did ask for my meat to be cooked well done and extra teriyaki sauce. I proceeded to wait another 10 minutes at the table for my food and went back to check to find my order sitting by the hibachi place with the chicken being white on my plate, clearly undercooked, half of what I had ordered was missing off the plate and there was no teriyaki. After realizing that when I got to the table, I was so upset and just called over the server to let her know what happened and if she could take me off the bill since I haven't ate. to which she proceeded to just bring me the bill how it was. so i called her over again and asked again if she can take me off because i was not able to enjoy any food. her manager came over to the table, didnt introduce herself or anything just said "whats your problem?" so i told her the same thing, she took the bill to go take me off and came back and aggressively returned the adjusted check on the table. On the way out, there was a bowl of apples and my aunt thought it was just for people to take, she is a little older, but the same manager that adjusted the bill came running out of her office screaming at us like we were stealing, mind you FOR AN APPLE. Disgusting. I am so disappointed that we paid for that disgusting service and tipped too. Only good thing was the place was slightly cleaner than others. If i could give 0 stars I still would.

We normally get the same thing every time, however, my favorite are the egg rolls. They're fully packed and not so greasy. My boyfriend lives for the dumplings, they're nice and doughy. The portion sizes are great, feeds two people easily. We actually only order out, it is a little farther than we'd like. We learned about this restaurant through yelp I believe. We've never had a complaint about our orders or food, I definitely recommend. Will add pictures next time we order.
