    Deep fried flounder overcooked
    Frank T.

    When I saw the deep fried flounder picture, I had to come. After living in the SF Bay area and enjoying this wonderful dish then moving here unable to find it, I came for dinner. I didn't care about the $30 price...until I tasted it. Huge disappointment. It was over fried. It didn't come with the eel-like sauce I got in Oakland. There was only a little moist tender meat. The rest was tough and inedible. Just awful. I also ordered the Lechon Kawaii and lumpia and roast duck and the combo fried rice. The Lechon was really good, but overnight the skin turned tough. The sauce was decent. Not like what you get at Filipino restaurants. The Lumpia was also meh. Small, and with no flavor. A waste of money. The roast duck was deep fried. Not roasted with the five spice flavors. Hoisin sauce, not the roast duck jus that you get from Jason's across the street. They should have gotten Jason's duck and served that. The fried rice was not inspiring. Had some shrimp but looked bland a few pieces of pork. Service was good. But I'm never returning.

    The west dining area.

    I was excited to try this restaurant, as it is modest, old fashioned American Chinese style with a good egg roll. The Eggroll was in fact quite tasty. The roast pork soup and wonton had a thin and light flavored broth that lacked punch. It was heavily noodled with not much to comment on except for it being unremarkable. The wonton tasted fresh as did the soup ingredients. The space itself was lively with regular clients who seemed to enjoy the cooking, the staff was attentive without special note. The interior is relatively freshly painted but there is a lack of sparkle to the place, from the dark aquarium in the entry to the plastic picnic table oilcloths to place seemed tired, if clean. The carpeting was old and glum giving the environments a worn down look despite the other minimal decor efforts and adequate cleaning. It has a "better days" vibe that, I guess, does most of it's business as take-out. I can't slam the place, but I can't really recommend it over any other place that you might already occasionally frequent.

    Sesame chicken with steamed rice
    Michelle J.

    Nice quiet restaurant. I was alone this time and wanted to try a variety of things, as the menu was very affordable. I was also working in the area for a week and wanted leftovers for lunch and dinner. The menu was extensive. Even included Filipino food. I ordered 2 egg rolls, an order of fried pot stickers, an order of crab rangoons, and sesame chicken. Hot tea was included. Boy! Everything was huge. The pot stickers were a little too thick for me and I didn't care for the texture of the meat. The rangoons seemed to be made of the same wrap as the pot stickers, which was too thick. I really enjoyed the flavor. I didn't care for the egg roll. It was too thick and I didn't like the meat. I'm used to the Rangoons and egg rolls made with egg roll wraps (thin ones). I thought the sesame chicken was made with breast meat but it was thigh meat. It was still good. Crispy and a good sauce. There was some broccoli on the plate and a side of steamed rice. There were so many things I wanted to try. . . like egg foo young, Mongolian beef, and so much more. . . Food came out fast and hot!

    Burnt egg roll.

    Yikes what happened to this place? I know they are under new owners but the food has become terrible. Very cheap. Shrimp is smaller and there are way fewer pieces, barely any beef or chicken in the dishes. They gave us burnt egg rolls which they should have thrown out and not served to customers. They smothered sauce over everything and used cheap veggies like celery or onions to fill the plate. Not coming back.

    Tofu With Vegetables
    Steve A.

    Eating here is kind of like going back in time because it looks like this restaurant hasn't changed much. It's one of the oldest restaurants in Morton Grove and is a classic Chinese American with lots of the old favorites you're familiar with. China Town Restaurant gives you a lot on your plate, except flavor. Maybe they're also using old ingredients. The prices are great which helps but not a lot though. Came at lunch and we got the only vegetarian choice. It was the Tofu With Vegetables. There was a lot of rice with it, and quite a bit of the rest as well. It's about $7 for an entree. Why it's so cheap is revealed when you eat something. Apparently they're saving on spices because the food didn't seem to have any. There was a light garlic sauce. And man it was light. The rest of the menu has meaty stuff like beef, chicken, and seafood. Basically not much of a reason for us to come again. They sucked at the one thing we can get. Best thing about this place is the classic Chinese American restaurant atmosphere. If you're looking for that then it's something you'll like about here. The food unfortunately is terrible even though it has some great prices.

    Lazy Susan to easily pass around food!

    The Chinese food I remember from my early 20's! I couldn't find tasty Chinese dishes like this for quite a while now. I can't believe I found it 5 min away from home in Morton Grove. We enjoyed eggshells that were fried just right! Golden delicious and not greasy. The sweet and sour chicken had lovely chunks of white meat with the right amount of breading. You could actually find the chicken! I would have enjoyed more pineapple, tomato and peppers, however. Still a great dish served with a big bowl of white rice. My husband really enjoyed the Mongolian beef! Large, tender, pieces of meat with onions and greens. The noodles were barely there, but it was tasty nonetheless! The dining area was nothing fancy, but comfortable seating with booths and tables, some large enough to fit bigger parties. There was a table for eight with a lazy Susan in the center to easily share dishes. The food portions were large with enough to take home. The wait staff was very welcoming and pleasant. A big plus is that it was peaceful. No loud noise where you can't hear the people you're sitting with. A definite plus in my book!

    a table full of food
    Lesley Anne Y.

    This is our family go to place for any occassions. Tonight for our Chinese New Year Dinner. We had: Potstickers - they have fried and steamed. We ordered both. I do prefer the steamed one but i'm not super fond of potstickers. Whole Steamed fish - you have a choice between Tilapia and Flounder. This was cooked perfectly. I am not a fish person but I did like this. Its clean and cooked perfectly and its not fishy if u know what i mean. Seafood Hot and Sour Soup. This is one of my favorite and theirs is one of the good ones so far. Egg Drop Soup. This is nothing special. Its the same as everyone elses. PanFried Noodles. This is my favorite kind of noodles. Tonight we had the Pork BBQ one. But their Seafood is worth a try as well. Eight Treasures Tofu Casserole. This is a first for us. And surprisingly I liked it. It packed with tofu squid chicken and some veggies. It has a brown sauce. Not super saucy but just right to coat everything. And the best of all they give free chicken skin. Depending on how much you order of course. But just ask.

    Fish fillet and Chinese broccoli chow fun
    Tiffany T.

    I ordered the fish fillet and Chinese broccoli chow fun for take out. I would say it's okay. The sauce had decent flavor to it and wasn't heavy or too thick. I do wish there was more because I did want the noodles to be coated more in the sauce. I really like chow fun noodles in general, and these were ok, but a little disappointing because so much of it was still stuck together and I could just taste the unseasoned kinda doughy noodles. I was able to separate some of it and drench them in the sauce though. The fish was pretty good. Nothing special, but they were battered well and cooked well too. There was a decent amount of fish in the dish, so that made me happy :) Overall, I've definitely had better fish and broccoli chow fun, but this satisfied my craving for it. I would go back and try a couple other things, so we'll see how those dishes are!

I went here recently as an adult to get the nostalgic feel, and it hit instantly when I walked in... I see the Chinese decor, the zodiac paper under the plates, the koi fish tank, and the smell of authentic Chinese food.

Some of the noodles dishes and vegetables dishes we got were a little too mushy for my liking and a little bit too drenched. Overall though, I still liked the food, and it's a good price for doing family style. I do enjoy the fact that they have a parking lot, and the server was very friendly when it came to taking our order and making sure we had everything we needed.

Ordering was a breeze and the guys were always open to a conversation or giving suggestions. The restaurant was clean and the meal was always tasty. Just a note but the further away you move from any major city the fewer and harder it is to find great Asian food. The suburb is lucky to have them. The pandemic brought new staffing. Some were pleasant with customers though one lady, a supervisor had the wrong ideas of what customer service and proper etiquette is. Just the basics of my final visit. I took my family for lunch. We ordered lunch specials and a couple extra must-try plates. Two specials hit the table and the third was left waiting for her meal. Unbeknownst to us in the moment, her food was handed to a single patron there for his lunch. The place was filling up with a lunch rush but not so many that had complicated orders. Many were ordering similar lunch specials. Kung pao lunch special was popular. When her order finally arrived the supervisor realized she had given the wrong plate to the customer sitting some tables behind us. Mind you ten minutes had already passed. She quickly went over to him and asked what he had ordered. She then took the plate he was eating from and handed him the fresh plate. He was still holding a half eaten egg roll in his hand. Then she brought the quarter eaten plate and placed it in front of my mother. Before she could leave I stopped her and asked her what she was doing. She simply stated that was her lunch order. I told her she handed my mother someone else's food that they were eating and I watched the whole thing. Why didn't you take that to the back and make a completely new plate of food?! I paid the bill and got the F**k out. That's gross. Also, you gave the other patron new food but cannot do the same for our table?? This place is dead to me. If she could do that, it beckons the question of what else is happening behind the scenes.
