There were a number of her high school friends along w/her daughters that hosted the event. When we arrived the restaurant parking lot was completely full. I dropped off my wife and one of her classmates @ the door & went to find a parking spot.

The egg rolls and fried rice were outstanding! Sweet and sour sauce was not good and was very hard to get out of the container they put it in. The general tsos chicken was very dry (lots of breading with dried out chicken) and the pad Thai had almost no sauce and the noodles were oily. Both looked great but didn't deliver on the taste I'd go back to give them one more try but wasn't impressed during this visit.

I enjoyed a business lunch here at MingHin on a Monday (so glad they were open today, as several of…read moremy favorite Asian restaurants are closed Mondays). For starters, hot tea and sticky rice. My favorites were the shrimp dumplings and crispy shrimp rolls, but I also love a good greens in oyster sauce dish. Ordering is easy from a tablet or off the menu but unfortunately a couple things we wanted to order from the menu were no longer available. The steam baskets were removed from our table pretty quickly after they were emptied. Plenty of parking here and the restaurant wasn't too crowded yet, early on a Monday. I appreciated the sturdy chopsticks for use as well as a fork as needed, but a knife would be helpful too, for the crispy greens. I would like to return for dinner sometime and try more dim sum choices. This is a great place to go for a meeting, date night, or with a group.

I recently learned that they used premade dim-sum from the factory. Yes, A FACTORY. What they did…read morewas to preheat and serve. The servant told me about it when I mentioned to him how bad the food taste, as reminder for them to improve. I was shocked by how dumb he is to tell me the truth. Try to defend themselves? Made-by-factory does not mean it's fresh! My mouth still have this awful taste after a day. The dish I ordered is called fried sticky rice. It's supposed to be cooked from scratch. This is absolutely cheating. I have been going to this restaurant for years. Even I had been disapointed in the past, I still kept going as it's the only dim-sum place in my area. The food quality has been deteriorating over years to the point I feel that's enough. I will not go again. Some of my friends have stopped going for a while As a Cantonese who grew up with dim-sum every weekend, I do not recommend this place! This is just gross.

I ordered enough for two, which means I would have something for the next two meals. The restaurant has been around for a while, and it is a stand alone building. The menu, like what you will find in Malaysia - a mixed of Chinese, Malay, and Indian. The service is always prompt. Here's what I ordered: 1) Roti Canai served with Malaysian chicken curry - the curry is unlike Indian curry. This is a typical Malaysian style curry. You take a piece of the crispy yet a little chewy pan fried dough and dipped in this curry broth. That combination will kick off your appetite. 2) Seafood and Tofu clay pot - a mix of fish fillet, squid, shrimp, vegetables and homemade tofu served in a clay pot. The tofu is delicious - crispy outside with soft and silky center - chef's kiss! 3) String bean mixed with balacan - balacan is a Malaysian sambal sauce made with shrimp paste and chili. It has this savory, sweet and lightly spicy flavor mixed with crispy string beans. It was a delightful dinner! There are many other dishes that I'll come back for, especially other dishes with their homemade tofu.

Hong Kong Restaurant for a good Chinese dinner win! I've had such a craving for fried rice and my…read morehusband wanted General Tso's chicken. It's been a tough lately since our go to place changed ownership and the quality declined. Hong Kong Restaurant is a small, family owned restaurant in the same strip mall as the Ace Hardware. It's a take out only restaurant, no tables and no seating. The lady is so nice. I called ahead asking how her General Tso's was made with brown sauce or if it was an orange type of sauce. She gave me a good description and mentioning it had some spice to it, but not offensive. It was exactly what my husband wanted. It wasn't overly breaded and the sauce was sweeter, savory with a little heat. He was a happy man. The fried rice had plenty of chicken and cooked well. The portions were huge! I also ordered beef and broccoli Cantonese chow mein. This was delicious! There was so much beef and broccoli, the sauce wasn't salty and went perfect with the chow mein noodles. We ordered egg rolls and crab rangoons too. Both we were good. The wrapper was a little thicker than I prefer, but they were both good. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes on their menu like their egg foo yung. No pics ... hungry teenaged boys dove into the food right away.

The food was always good here, but improved service on top of the great looking interior -- and an expansive menu make this one of the spots that caters well to Americanized Chinese cuisine as well as authentic options. Even for those looking to enjoy more familiar options, the technique and ingredients used to create these dishes creates a superior product to what you'll find at a standard carryout spot. For example the sweet orange beef is extra crispy with perfectly tender beef with a sweetness that's more citrus based and not overpowering. The La Tsi chicken is fried nicely but derives much of the flavor from garlic and chilis, giving a much more complex depth of flavor without being excessively salty. The honey glazed shrimp is fried very nicely, with giant shrimp inside -- combining delicious flavor and delicious texture at the same time. For the most complex and delicious flavors, classic szechuan options like the boiled lamb in szechwan sauce and sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce are still the way to go for a masterful mix of herbs and spices. In addition, the meat is melt-in-your-mouth soft without being overly fatty. Overall, one of the best spots you'll find in the area for Chinese cuisine. If you like Bowl of Fortune or Lao Sze Chuan nearby, you'll find the food here to be just as good.

It is has a slight spiciness from the chili oil and has a sweeter taste. Mongolian beef is kinda the same a little bit sweet. Salt and pepper shrimp and the yong zhou fried rice are good too but bit oily. All in all the food is good. I did not consider the service in my rating but is not that great. I think they dont have enough people since no one is at the door to put you on queue. They have a pad of paper to write. We waited for more than 30 min. They have big tables that are open and no one is in queue for big party and all of a sudden there are people being seated there. They should have smaller tables that can be pulled together so it will still be first come first serve. Once were seated the food came fast.

Definitely not worth the price for the portion, and the taste was just OK. 5/5 - Garlic Chicken Combo Really good! A decent size portion and I loved all the vegetables that came with it! definitely one I'd order again. 5/5 - lo mein noodles Pretty good! Simple, flavorful, and definitely hit the spot. 5/5 - Garlic Beef Combo- I wanted to give the beef a try, and it was just as good as a chicken! I also really love all the vegetables that come with these combos. Overall, definitely a good lunch spot! The prices are reasonable, the food is good, the service is quick, and there are several things I'd try again. I'll definitely be back.

Chopsticks is a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant located in a strip mall on Central Road in…read moreRolling Meadows. I live in Chicago, but I've gone here several times to buy Chinese food for my parents who live about a mile away. Inside, there are a few chairs, and maybe a table. The kitchen and where you order is behind a counter and glass wall. There is nothing fancy about it, but Chopstick is meant to be a carry-out restaurant, so it's not a problem. They prefer cash but will take a credit card and charge 3-percent extra. That said, the entrees are bargain-priced and are served in generous portions. I recently ordered food for myself and a neighbor on a busy Father's Day. I did not order ahead, but it only took 15 minutes to prepare my order. I requested no MSG, and I was told that they do not use any--so that's a big plus for anyone who wants to avoid it. They have all the usual Chinese-American favorites, including their house special that has shrimp, chicken and beef. But the ingredients they use are fresh and high-quality--and that sets them apart from most carry-out restaurants of this type. My only complaint was that of my two orders, they mixed up the entrees--my neighbor was supposed to get the house special, and my husband was supposed to get the chicken and vegetable dish. But even though the entrees were mixed up, everyone was happy with what they received. If I lived closer, Chopsticks (cute name) would be my go-to Chinese-American restaurant. Here's to the lucky Rolling Meadows and Arlington Heights residents who live near it.

Bad thing is there's no alcohol. They have things like iced tea. It's about $17 for a curry. These at least come with rice. I got the Panang Curry. This is made with basil leaves, bell peppers, coconut milk, keffir lime leaves, and choice of protein, including tofu. It came in a big bowl. This was more like a soup because it was pretty runny. For sure we could go here again. It's located close to the railroad tracks between Sigwalt and Northwest Highway. There's plenty of choices for vegans and vegetarians.

Every entree comes with a side choice--the Tom Yum soup and chicken potstickers were both solid options. As for the mains, it was a bit of a mixed bag: Massaman Curry (Chicken): Rich, full of flavor, and absolutely essential to pair with rice. Papaya Salad: Outstanding--super refreshing with a great crunch. Pad Thai & Pad See Ew: Disappointing protein quality. The chicken in the Pad Thai was dry, and the beef in the Pad See Ew was sliced paper-thin and equally dry. Basil Duck: Surprisingly bland and lacked flavor. Overall, some highlights, but the meats and flavor consistency could definitely use some improvement.

On my recent first visit, I found the restaurant to be inviting and having a nice ambiance. It was clean and well lit. My party and I had a late dinner. We received good service. We were seated promptly upon arrival. We were served water right away. One of the staff members informed us to scan a QR code to get the menu of the restaurant and place our order from our mobile device directly. We ordered South Indian dishes such as dosas and uttapam. Dosas, for those who may not be familiar, are like savory crepes made from rice batter and uttapam are like savory pancakes made from rice and urad dal (an Indian grain) batter. The uttapams my party ordered were of the onion and chilies kind and came with dipping sides of sambar (lentil and veggie stew) and three chutneys (coconut, peanut, and one other kind that I can't remember). The dosas also came with the same sides. My order was different from the others. I ordered Madurai Kitchen's special dosa made with minced mutton (goat) in spices. I was expecting a traditional dosa with mutton stuffed inside, but no. This dish looked like thick uttapam but smelled like dosa, and it came with a side of curry dal as a dipping side instead of sambar and chutneys. I inquired about it, and one of the staff members said that that's how it served. Strange but cool, I guess. I found my dish to be okay in taste. It lacked a bit of salt, and the flavor wasn't quite what I had expected. I had thought that it would be spicy, but it wasn't. I used the chutneys from other members of my party's dishes for an enhanced tasting experience. The rest of the folks in my party liked their dishes a lot. Their dishes were good. Overall, we had a good experience. The menu pricing is on the expensive side (more than I expected), but the food quality and service were good. If you like South Indian food, then this restaurant is definitely worth checking out. I will be going back to try other menu items.
