Trying to find a good Chinese place . China Town was, ok, not super super but good…read more Would have given 4 stars but maybe I was expecting something different than what we got. The fried rice was good but different from what we've gotten elsewhere. Same with Won ton soup, it was like beef type broth, not a clear type broth. Egg rolls ok. We didn't get any soy sauce or sweet/sour in bag. Maybe they don't do that anymore? It's been a while since we ordered take out. I think I would try them again tho

A True Hidden Gem in McHenry!…read more Plum Garden is one of those rare restaurants that has stood the test of time, and for good reason! Tucked away on a side street in McHenry, this hidden gem has been serving incredible Chinese food since the 1960s. First and foremost, the egg rolls are hands down the BEST you'll find anywhere! Seriously, they're worth the trip alone. If you've never had them, you're missing out! Another absolute must-try is the Hong Kong Chicken. It's a standout dish and one I highly recommend. There's something special about a family-style Chinese restaurant that's been around for decades, especially one that continues to deliver food worth coming back for. Plum Garden is a McHenry institution that deserves more recognition. If you love great Chinese food, do yourself a favor and seek out this hidden gem. You won't regret it!

I had the spring roll to start. It was pretty good. The hot mustard is hot, although I found the…read moremustard and sweet/sour sauce to be very thin. Like watered out. My companion had the egg drop soup and she sent it back. Very watery and lacking flavor. We had the crab Rangoons, which were pretty good. Next up was the beef chop suey. A generous portion, but there wasn't a lot of beef in it. Flavor was ok. The celery could have been cooked longer. It was tough. I had the sesame chicken, which was pretty good. A decent amount of chicken and good flavor. Service was just okay. We had soft drinks and I think $3.99 is high for a soft drink.

Awesome food! The shrimp egg rolls and crab ragoons were crispy and filled! The low mein and sweet…read moreand sour chicken was also VERY good!!

Perfect house fried rice! They had Cantonese noodles, which I love! I normally won't eat fortune cookies, but these, and the almond cookies, were some of the best I have ever had Great manager! We will be regulars!

Saturday at 4:10pm. Still a quick seating, but looks like a bunch of carry outs and pick ups…read more Lisa our server most gracious and attentive. Missed the picture of the combination appetizer plate. 2 egg rolls, fried won ton and crab Rangoon. Over all a ton of good food for the price. Definitely had to ask for the "Doggie Box". Couldn't even think of dessert.

First time coming and probably the last time. We got the chicken chow mein and the orange chicken…read more Chicken chow mein is not at all what you would expect and the online menu didn't clarify it was crunchy noodles. Still went into it with high hopes after realizing there are two different ways to prepare chow mein but was still lacking flavor Sister got orange chicken which was extremely soggy and all around gooey and the rice was either old or over cooked - it was quite hard and dried out. On the bright side the girl at the takeout counter was very nice and I love that they have a separate takeout waiting room.

Food was great! Since these owners have taken over, absolutely no complaints from me.read more

Was there 3 weeks ago, ordered on their app, it said ready in 20 minutes, 1 1/2 hours later they…read morestill hadn't looked at orders received on their app. 12 customers waiting around for their orders, all orders were late, several people walked out.

Went on a Sunday night. I can tell that this place is popular for carry out, because that had most…read moreactivity here. My friend and I enjoyed a sit down meal, with our own dedicated server, since no other folks except us were in the dining room. I enjoyed a cashew chicken, served family style, very very generous portion for price. My friend enjoyed the duck, also served family style. White rice is free with the meal, fried rice is an. extra charge as its own dish. The hot tea at the table was pretty weak tasting, but the tasty food, interesting decor, and the friendly server was quite nice to have. Note: instead of just handing us boxes to box up our leftovers, our server actually put our plates on a tray at a nearby table and boxed up our food for us. A very nice touch so we didn't have to worry about possibly messing up our hands and our outfits managing all of that. I would definitely go back again: the service and the food were memorable.

Don't know why I would just drive by Lily Garden without even considering it. I tried it once…read more Since then, the craving kicks in, we come back. It is decent. I did not realize that they run a sit down restaurant, well decorated at that. I'm always greeted with a courtious smile and light conversation. Generous quantities, tasty food. Everything is fresh and hot. Their wonton and hot and sour soups are better than most of the other nearby take out places. I like that they follow your special instructions when placing an online order..some places do not. I've noticed that they tend to be on the lightly seasoned side, so I always request fried rice extra spicy and dark. This means they will add a little more soy sauce and very mild spice. Also, they do make smoothies guys. An important note, when you order, you pay at pickup, not online. All I want, some consistency in life. They are consistent. That is why carry out from Lily Garden.

Great place to get Chinese food as far as being in Harvard. It's not like there's any better…read moreoptions. ChinaTown is a typical looking strip mall Chinese restaurant with an interior that's bare. Of course there's a few tables, but there's not much else. The food is what makes it good, or at least as good as it gets for this town. Among the fast food chains on this stretch is this place, one of the few that is local. It's in a plaza with a Rosati's and Subway. The choice was either a local pizza chain with a ton of locations, a worldwide sandwich chain with millions of locations, or this. Being kind of food snobby, we chose here. It's quite ironic to call eating at this place snobby. It's about $9 for an entree. There's a few vegetarian choices, including the Bean Curd In Home Style. Even though it wasn't spicy, you can add a bit of heat. That really helped make it, and there was quite a bit on the plate for the okay price. Could come here again if in town and wanting Chinese. It's about the only option. There's the typical items like beef and chicken, as well as bean curd for vegetarians.

The food is always good, and the egg rolls are tasty, even if they're much smaller than expected.read more

Hubby and I dined at Little Rice for our monthly date night…read more I am not a big eater so I let him order and I sample all the foods, it works for us and it makes me a cheap date. We ordered a sushi roll, a ramen and a chow mei fun as well as some hot tea. The sushi roll - the Lover Roll - was very, very good. As was the ramen. The tea was piping hot (just how I like it). Service was fine, nothing outstanding. It was a Wednesday night; I believe there was one other couple and a family also dining in. Most of the action was take-out orders. Cute little restaurant. Stop by if you are in the area and try the Lover Roll!
