    Orange chicken dinner special and the combo platter (bai not included)
    Tanya Y.

    I live for a good Chinese hole-in-the-wall and China Cook is top of the line! And it's cheap! Walking in, CC isn't a whole lot to look at. The register is immediately in front of the kitchen and you do have to pick up a paper menu if you want to know what they serve. There are a couple of tables against one wall and some bar stools that face the window. I was definitely happy with the prices. And as an added bonus they have dinner and lunch specials that include an egg roll, rice, and entree for under $10. I went that route and ordered the Orange Chicken with lo mein. And then because I like being able to try multiple things when going somewhere new, I also ordered the Combo Platter (maybe "Sampler" not "Platter"... I can't remember) which comes with pairs of crab ragoons, egg rolls, fried shrimp, and chicken sticks which rings in under seven bucks! And My husband went with the Shrimp Lo Mein. Our orders took maybe 10 minutes for them to whip up and we could see right into the kitchen so I can say definitely that it was cooked when ordered. I loved everything I ate. The lo mein is perfect! Not too oily, so yummy! The Orange Chicken was insanely good!!! So flavorful and just enough spice! I used the extra sauce to dip my egg rolls in... seriously delicious! I would absolutely order all of this again. Oh and also worth noting, the crab rangoons were perfect too. It all was, so clearly you really can't go wrong here. My husband seemed to really enjoy his meal too. So to sum it up: Delicious Chinese food at a reasonable price, made in a reasonable amount of time. This is for sure our new go-to Chinese restaurant in Joliet.

    Yelped a Chinese Take Out place en route to Chicago Hoffman Estates around dinner time and this place popped up. Really don't know what to expect. Reviews were so positive about large portions n good taste so decided to stop by and it's not far from the freeway. We opted to order once we got there bc reviews said they make your things on the spot in 10mins. Our plan was to eat it in the car anyways because we have an hour to go before we got to our destination. Once we got there we couldn't decide on what to get. Dinner specials were cheap and came with fried rice n egg roll. But dinner plates if u spend over $15 you get a free eggroll and if you spend more you get a free small fried rice. My eldest wanted steamed dumplings and in the picture they looked handmade but these came out store bought and no bueno. Please change your ad and pictures to reflect your actual food. The fried ones were same, not homemade. Was disappointed in that. My shrimp lomein special did not look like the picture either but it was super tasty. The fried rice was ok. Egg rolls ok. Store bought. Deep fried. But all our dishes were super tasty. In the take out reheatable containers they looked small n tons of onions in the Mongolian beef but once you eat it it was pretty tasty. Garlic chicken tasted a bit spicy. Szechuan beef ok. But my lomein is the hit. I like how they packed it all and gave us a ton of sauce n lots of fortune cookies. They were friendly n quick. Really our large order was done in 10mins. Seems like a family owned establishment. Glad we stopped by. Food was still piping hot an hour later as we enjoyed it at the hotel. Fried stuff we ate in the car. Overall still 4 stars mostly for my lomein. But I wouldn't try the dumplings:/

    Beef fried rice with added bean sprouts & an egg roll.

    I waited a while before posting this review because my luck with finding good & consistent Chinese food in the area has been beyond difficult. Upon moving, I was excited to try this place out. I was pleasantly surprised. There's a plethora of lunch specials (that can also be had at dinner time for a small increase in price), good appetizers, & some hard to find dishes (hello beef chow fun YES!) as well as the usual suspects. Orange chicken, fried rice, & the like. I can't speak for dine in or delivery as I've only had take out, but can we just talk about how fast, fresh, & friendly this place is??? Those 3 Fs are important! I've never waited more than 10 minutes after ordering inside & the food's always amazing when I get it home! The only oddity I found here is there are no bean sprouts in their fried rice, but they had no problem adding them when asked. Do yourself a favor & when you get that itch for a "treatyoself" night, stop in & enjoy some take out from China Cook.

    Mongolian beef.

    Delivery was quick. Food was not good at all. Did not even eat the Mongolian beef. Beef was Grey in color gross. Will not order from here again.

    Beef chow fun $10 very good
    Melissa C.

    The beef is yummy and I think it's really beef:) My friend had the eggrolls and said they're really amazing. I'd go again if I'm ever in the area. He says skip the crab Rangoon. Try the beef or the chow fun. Wasn't a fan of the egg drop soup. It was very spicy but if you like spicy foods then this might be for u. It's a small hole in the wall spot with not much seating.

    Happy Family

    See all

    Delicious and tasty. Every Chinese food place has its own taste in my opinion and this place tastes great too.
