Hot & Sour Soup (with Pork)
Amanda H.

If the only thing I'd ordered was the hot n sour soup, I'd give it 5 stars. I ordered garlic sauce chicken and it was okay. The sauce needs something else to give it a little oomph. The nice thing is the chicken wasn't fried, so I did appreciate that. The chicken fried rice, as usual, was tasty and the crab Rangoon was very good too. The hot n sour soup? Yeah that's the real star here. You know how you try something once and you compare all others to it after that? Yeah, that's the hot n sour soup from here. It's so good and comes with the lunch special if you're dining in.

Chicken Lo Mein- flavorless

The chicken lo mein was flavorless and completely different than the picture on the website, unappetizing at best. Greasy sweet and sour chicken and overall just not good. We used to order here regularly, but won't again.

Chinese Kitchen is located on the second floor of a little plaza, but don't miss it! If you're looking for good value for the money, you won't be disappointed here. It's spacious and good for small or large groups here, and service is friendly and fast. The menu is mostly Americanized but you'll find some authentic items here and there. I loved the Singapore noodles I ordered, and my family each had tons of food left over to take home. I also had my kid's birthday party catered by Chinese Kitchen, and they didn't disappoint.

This is my second time here. On my first visit, I had the Sesame Chicken, which was delightfully crispy though there was some confusion with the bill. We had asked for separate checks and they gave us one check. My husband was with me on my second visit. I ordered Mu Shu Pork and he General Tso's Chicken for carry out. My pork was delicious. My husband's Chicken not so. It seemed old, only a minimal amount of broccoli and it wasn't spicy though the menu indicated it should have been. The prices are good with most ítems under $10. So far, it seems to be hit or miss for this hole in the wall. Don't expect ambience here but with it's inexpensive prices and pretty good Americanized Chinese food most of the time, this is a good place when you need that fix.

The worst chinese food I've ever had. Very bland and tasteless. The orange chicken is terrible.

J's Kitchen is in a strip mall which makes it easy to park and locate. They are small/locally owned…read moreand halal certified. I had a craving for wonton soup and thankfully J's has it. I ordered online for carry out and the platform was easy to navigate. Once my husband and I arrived at the resto we were greeted by a very kind staff member. Our food wasn't ready but within 5 mins of us being there it was good to go. We tried the wonton soup and chicken dumplings app. Both were on the bland side. Normally I'm used to wonton soup also having noodles and theirs does not. Flavors were OK, felt like both dishes were missing spices. Everything was cooked perfectly though. Maybe we ordered the wrong items from here and need to try others instead.

It's not a pretty joint. There were boxes stacked near the…read moreentrance, the tables and chairs were pedestrian at best, and the decor wasn't (if you get my drift). In my experience, this signifies either the place was going to be a shithole to pass up, or it was a serious place to eat, then get out and go somewhere with an atmosphere. Happy to say J's (IMHO) is a serious place to eat. No-nonsense, direct and to the point. When I walked in, all those common chairs I mentioned were stacked upside down on the tables in the way that places do when they are closed. The taciturn fellow who worked there assured me they were indeed open, and explained they had just finish washing the floor. Please dont read any of this as negative-the best Chinese places I've ever been have looked like this-and if you've paid attention to the Travel/Food shows on the TeeVee, the joints in China itself are pretty much the same. On to the food, know this place is a Serious REAL-DEAL Chinese resto. I didn't notice if there were "Occidental" Chinese-type dishes on the carte, (primarily 'cos I wasn't looking for them). What I saw looked yum, and had a hard time making choices, even though I had read the menu multiple times and thought I know what I was going to order in advance. Confessionately, this is a chief feature for my tortured dining self-It's a wonder I even get fed in restaurants (especially the great ethnic ones), due to option anxiety. I zeroed in on "Street Noodles" for starters-wouldn't you? Then went to "Cold Beef Shank" for entreé. The Noodles were fab as was the Shank. The noodles were in a broth. with some hunks of bok choy and ground meat on top. Hearty, still light. The shank had a thin sauce complimenting but not obscuring the beefiness. One bugaboo: the Shank needed a bit of seasoning, and I wasn't going to use soy sauce, as I believed that would have marred the subtle flavors of the Beef. I asked for a salt shaker. It arrived, and I was a little taken back, 'cos it appeared it hadn't been washed in a while, and the salt inside was caked. It occurred to me this condition was present due to the non-use of said shaker. I don't think I've ever asked for a salt shaker in a Chinese resto. I pulled a toothpick out of my "Murse" and broke up the caked NaCl. Applying same to the pieces of Shank, the flavor bloomed and I was a happy boy. Bring some salt packets along when you visit "J's", maybe. The fellow who was waiter and cashier was a "western" fellow, whom I engaged and turned out to be quite an experienced foodie. some pleasant conversation indeed. Throwing 4 for this excellent establishment, with a few grains of salt separating it from 5...

Everything was great (even if a little overpriced) here as always…read more Service was fantastic and speedy. My vegan tofu and black mushroom (no pork or oyster sauce) was delicious. My husband loved his shrimp and broccoli Lunch Special. It came with a complimentary egg drop soup, which he said is one of the best egg drop soups in the area. We will certainly be back when we are in Naperville again.

So, we ordered 4 things to go: the vegetarian egg rolls, Chicken Almond Ding, Chicken with pea…read morepods, and Orange Chicken. The eggs rolls had very little inside them, but were pleasant enough fried dough. All of the chicken dishes seem to have a pressed chicken--not sliced or real chicken. Pleasant enough, but kind of strange. The Almond Ding had separate almonds, which was nice and Chick with peadpods appeared to have a little bit of real mushrooms and some real pea pods in it--but they lacked fresh flavor. The sauce is very bland, and kind of like a globby-like texture. There's a lack of any Chinese vegetables. No Bok Choy, no bamboo shoots, very few water chestnuts, no green pepper. Just tons of pressed chicken, and a bland white sauce. My husband's Orange Chicken was supposed to be hot but was not. It was pleasant but same pressed chicken now breaded (much better cover for pressed chicken). Lack of veggies in all the dishes. Would we go back? Probably not. Ended up throwing half of it away. Honestly, Panda Express is probably just as good which is kind of sad.

Checked out this kind of hidden Chinese restaurant and it was much better than expected. It still…read moreisn't the best but it's among the better places in Naperville. Mapo Restaurant has quite a few options. Has lots of options for everyone almost. There's both Americanized and authentic offerings with various levels of spiciness. Basic looking Chinese restaurant inside. It's actually better than it looks outside. This place is kind of hidden because it's located in a crappy building with a parking lot that makes it hard to get to. Came in and it wasn't busy. We were about the only ones in there. It's about $11 for a lunch special, which includes soup. This isn't that great of a special if you don't want the soup though. Has a lot of choices. The best one obviously has to be Mapo Tofu. Of course it's the signature item. This is soft tofu in a spicy sauce along with some onions and peppers. For sure it's pretty good even though it's not all authentic. It's located close to the H Mart. There's a few things for vegans and vegetarians.

My dad and I come here fairly often for good Chinese fare. It's been around for years and happily…read morestill going strong. They have both American style Chinese dishes on the menu as well as items that are obviously more authentic. I personally love the dish of spicy pickled cabbage they give you when you first sit down! We usually get Mongolian beef and kung Pao beef, and they are always good. The dishes are so huge that two could share, or you can take home lots of leftovers. It's spacious enough in the restaurant that even when it's crowded, it's never loud. Service is on the ball. A great place in Naperville for a Chinese meal!
