    Shrimp lo mein
    B G.

    We had a great dinner here tonight. Mini me had the salt/pepper shrimp, the hubby had the shrimp lo mein and I had the pad shrimp noodles. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge. For the appetizer we had the crab Rangoon which is also delicious.

    "Pad Thai" yuck.

    Purchased the pad Thai lunch special today. Not even sure how they can call this dish pad Thai as it was served drowning in a disgusting red sweet sauce, no vegetables and overcooked sticky noodles. They served this dish in a styrofoam container, so hot the styrofoam melted. Dangerous! Other foods were average in this order.

    This restaurant also has a storefront with lots of Asian treats. I loved the food here; everything…read morewas very tasty. I was a big fan of the appetizers like the edamame, potstickers, spring rolls, and the satay chicken. My only complaint was that the crab rangoon filling was overly creamy and lacked flavor. The curry was just the perfect amount of spicy. For dessert, the mango sticky rice was the perfect way to cap off a delicious meal. The waitress and owner were very sweet and welcoming. You can tell all of the food is made with lots of love.

We started off our meal with two Thai iced coffees Let me say that that was the highlight of the meal. They were big delicious ice cold, and tasted great. I was very excited as this was my first time here. I ordered the crab Rangoon because quite honestly the last time I was in Joliet I had life-changing delicious crab Rangoon from a Thai place near Jefferson. I can't remember the name of the place it's in the strip mall, in any event I digress this just didn't taste good to me at all . It was full of cream cheese, and no other taste. I could tell from it at all. It was hot piping out in fact, but it just didn't taste good. It was a bit overdone as well. I didn't complain. I just offered it to my wife and she happily ate all of them. For the entrée, I had a thin rice dish with lots of vegetables and chicken pad something or another I can't remember and my wife had peanut noodles. She loves those mine. I asked specifically for well-done vegetables I don't like crunchy vegetables wow when I received it, they were crunchy vegetables, so I walked up to the counter and asked, please can you Really make these well-done vegetables and they did. Once that was fixed everything was good and I ate about half the portion size is very good. You get a lot for your money. I also did notice that their prices of the entrées were a bit more expensive that I'm used to which surprise me because of their location it's in Little strip mall and Northwest Indiana. I'm used to eating north side of Chicago and to find that their prices are higher than that really surprise me. I was stuffed after the meal and my wife ordered a mango sticky rice. Unfortunately they did not have mango because it was out of season so she had a sticky rice which again seemed incredibly Overpriced. I've had this before it many different Thai restaurants for half the cost so this was very surprising to me all in all excellent service I didn't like the appetizer I really like the coffee. My main dish was just OK so that's why I give it three stars personally I won't return, but I'm sure my wife and son will

I kept giving them chances as they are a beautiful restaurant and near my home. I left reviews & updated my reviews when they improved. I was hesitant to update again, but today was just bad. My husband Always orders nutty chicken because it's consistently good. He's witnessed all of my order fails. Today I got the spicy noodles lunch special. It said rice noodles with assorted vegetables & jalapeños. The menu item below it said wide rice noodles & wasn't spicy. I thought maybe I received that when he brought it out because it had wide noodles, no jalapeños, and not spicy but sweet or tangy. He insisted I got the right one and offered to bring jalapeños. It's not the same when a dish isn't cooked all together with the flavors. Also, noodles were moosh. My at home stir fry dishes are so much better than what this "upscale" has been serving me. I cannot tell you how many times my dish is missing ingredients or had the wrong ingredients. Always an excuse or apology, but it's become a joke for us that it's never correct. If it tasted good, I'd be ok with it. Also, I haven't ordered the tofu in a while, but only because they do a terrible job preparing it. I'm not sure if I'll try again, my husband might have to get his nutty chicken takeout only.

    We chose your establishment to celebrate Valentine's Day with my son, daughter-in-law, and…read moregrandchildren. Unfortunately, what should have been a special family evening turned into a disappointing and unacceptable experience. When my son and his family arrived, they were told they had to remain in the waiting area. He politely asked why they couldn't be seated inside and was told it was because their party exceeded four people. When my husband and I arrived shortly after, I asked the same question and was given the exact same explanation. However, the dining area was nearly empty -- only two couples were seated inside at the time. Shortly afterward, a larger family (five or more people) walked in and was immediately seated indoors. At that point, it was clear that the reasoning given to us was inconsistent. After I addressed the situation, another staff member stepped in, apologized, and attempted to make things right, even offering a complimentary drink. While I acknowledge that effort, the issue was not about a free drink. It was about how my family was treated from the start. The way my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren were initially handled was unacceptable and left a lasting impression. Good food does not excuse poor or inconsistent treatment. This experience reflects a need for better communication, consistency, and customer service standards. Because of this, I will not be returning. I hope this is taken seriously so that other families do not experience the same treatment.

I don't eat sushi or seafood. So the waitress watched us the whole time to make sure we weren't sharing with each other. So if you don't eat everything they will charge you for whatever left. But you cannot take the leftovers even after paying for it. So they will literally charge you to throw away the food. The food was ok, nothing special in flavor. But the service and the treatment was far worse.

It serves standard American Chinese food--as basic as it gets--and while the Chinese dishes are okay (not great, but not terrible), I would strongly recommend avoiding the Thai options.

This was my 2nd time actually dining here - but thought I needed to review. Upon ordering, it said my order would be ready in 20-30 minutes. I got there in about 30 minutes. I did have to wait a bit as there appeared to be one person working and she had a table she was also serving at the same time. I ordered the Basil Chicken w/brown rice & Kung Pao Pork w/white rice. I also ordered the Edamame. The one Basil Chicken order was a dinner and included an egg roll and salad. The Edamame was fine. Not super HOT, but I also waited a bit and it took me about 12 min to drive home. But they were just fine. The Kung Pao Pork was not as spicy as I thought it would be. But there were TONS of vegetables in it. The taste wasn't super powerful, so it was just okay. The Basil Chicken was good and also contained a ton of vegetables, which I liked. Peppers, corn, zucchini, onions, string peas and mushrooms. I may have missed a veggie, but there are quite a few varieties. The Chicken was good...again not the most powerful taste, but it was fine. The salad was warm and I couldn't eat it. I would have prepared the salad be in a separate bag so it stayed crisp and chilled, if it was supposed to be. The egg roll was mostly breading and hard to actually chew. Not my favorite. But to be honest, I'm not a fan of egg rolls. They threw some sauces in the bag, but no chop sticks so you may need to ask if you need those. The only other minor issue was the sauce was already leaking inside the bag from one of the styrofoam containers. The menu is extravagant and filled with half Chinese items and half Japanese items. I will try again and focus more on Japanese items next time.
