Better than expected for this small place that you can only order as carryout. Darien Chop Suey has a lot of common favorites. It also has a few more authentic ones. Fast times from ordering until food is ready to go. The prices are good on most stuff. Called in an order as carryout. I wasn't expecting much from this place after seeing how small the inside is. This is just a place where you either get delivery or takeout. Has a pretty big menu. There's lots of the common things you can find on almost any whatsoever Chinese restaurant. Instead I got the Hung Shao Tofu which sounded good. It's $9.75 for the large, the only size. This came with big pieces of bean curd and lots of baby carrots, bok choy, water chestnuts, and other Chinese vegetables. It had a nice spice to it. This wasn't too little or a lot. Good place to get Chinese fast. It has even better prices at lunch. The portions are pretty big even then. read more

Good food, nice staff, reasonably priced. Order here one to two times a month. Our goto is the family meal for 2: quart of egg drop soup, 2 egg rolls, 2 crab rangoon, large chicken fried rice, large beef with broccoli and large orange chicken. All very good, enough for the 3 of us for 2+ meals! But their bbq pork lo mein is really the best in the area! read more

Darien Chop Suey - Beef & Chicken lunches incl. egg rolls, soup + cookies. Even w $2 tip for under $20 !! - Chinese Near Me - Darien, Illinois

I ordered chicken in garlic sauce. What I expected is what I typically get in Michigan - chicken in light brown sauce with veggies. However, I got a chicken in black bean sauce and no veggies. Yes, I was disappointed of what I got vs. what I expected. The dish was decent, but would never order this dish again. I also got Shrimp toast, which was decent, bread was it oily, which is what I expected and the overall taste, the toast was bit salty. read more

Good deal, clean, and open to suggestions. They cook to order, just explain it well enough and they will understand.

Kind of messy inside some foods they serve is very greasy others are great service was promptly but not efficient least there wait time is on point read more

I swear by this joint. I don't even live close to here anymore and I drive the 20 minutes each way to pick up from here because I can't find anywhere locally that comes even close to their food. Their food is always consistent and in the 10+ years I've been supporting this business, I've only had one mistake in an order which they put a note on for the next time I ordered and it was taken care of. Our faves: potstickers, crab Rangoon, egg rolls, beef & broccoli, mixed vegetables, and all varieties of their fried rice are good (with the exception of the shrimp - it doesn't taste bad I'm just really picky about shrimp quality) Definitely not a dine in place, although they do have a couple tables if you're going to have a quick bite but I'd say about 95% of their sales are takeout. It's clean and you can definitely dine in if you want to, just to make that clear. They are always super quick and it's always hot and ready in the time they provide for pickup when I order. Seriously, I love this place. read more

Horrible food!!! Literally the worst take out I've ever had. I ordered over $40 worth of food, and it's going in the garbage. Try at your own risk. I should have known better the place looks unsanitary. First and last time eating there. They should get NO stars! read more

It's a little hole in the wall but the food is great and authentic with a good price!

I've been a fan since I was a little kid. I was back in the neighborhood and got the Mongolian beef lunch special today and it had eight pieces of beef and the rest was pure peppers and onions. I'm so disappointed. As usual their fried rice, egg roll, and egg drop soup were fantastic. The last few times I've tried to order from them they haven't been open or answered the phone on days that were their normal business hours. I'm not sure if it's new ownership or not but I probably won't be back. read more

OMG! Darien Cop Suey has wings!!!! I love wings and have sampled them internationally, so when I recommend wings, they have to be good -- very good! Well, Darien's wings are that good. They are lightly battered, delicately fried with a hint of soy flavor and extremely moist. They also come with other seasonings like BBQ, but the natural ones are the best. Of course, the regular Chinese fare is on par with other take-out places, so if you want add-on food with your wings, the egg rolls and chicken almond ding are decent. Never thought I'd be excited by wings at a store-front Chinese take-out place, but I am...and you will be too! read more

I've been having a quite a hard time of finding decent Asian food! I've tried this place a few time and the food is been very good. The owners seem nice and it looks clean. One thing specifically I was looking for was good egg rolls (I love the ones when they use peanut butter in the veggie mix) there's are very good!!! They also do thai food! I will be going back! Will probably be getting a higher rating once I've had more dishes! read more

The egg drop soup has a taste of vinegar. A family member is Asian and he couldn't even eat the egg drop soup. The eggs rolls much smaller. General Taos chicken was more spicy with red chili pepper than any where else that we have gone. So heads up if ya order it you might want to order it less spicy. I know it is generally spicy. The restaurant itself has become dilapidated. Overtime this happens if you don't keep up with maintenance it simply deteriorates. There are ceiling tiles out and overall it has to be repaired In many areas. I wouldn't call it pristine. The front area needed to be swept. I had no problem with the service. read more

as I picked up our dinner tonight. I look in the kitchen and notice a man smoking in the kitchen and scraping gunk off the door while other are cooking. How utterly disgusting the girl at the counter didn't give a crap when I said something about this. I will never go back there and the health department will be getting a call in the AM. read more

Made the kung pao perfectly and egg rolls are also great! Personally id recommend this as the neighborhood takeaway place.

First time in this establishment. Ordered food at counter. Found food to be well prepared and tasty. Large Luncheon portions. Nice items on menu. Service was fast, small 10 minute wait. Clean restaurant. Carry out only. Will be back for sure. read more

Egg Foo Young with egg drop soup and fried egg roll. Lots of food for a low price. Lunch menu. Fried rice not too greasy. go there for lunch. ..cheaper eats and good portions read more

Darien Chop Suey - Egg foo young with fried rice and egg drop soup - Chinese Near Me - Darien, Illinois

Nice Chinese & Thai takeout restaurant near the confusing intersection of Cass/75th/Plainfield. Offers the very rare dinner special with plenty of food plus an egg roll, choice of white or chicken fried rice and choice of soup (egg drop or hot and sour). You could dispense with the soup (though I wouldn't) and get a can of soda instead. This is a very small place - four tables max, and more than one are two-tops. The kitchen is pretty small too. The guys working here are really earning their pay. They're constantly on the move. The counter service was friendly and helpful during the ordering process. The food: Chicken with cashew nut: Lots of veggies in this one. My mom enjoyed it quite a bit. The chicken was some shade of otherworldly pale white. I'm guessing it was poached??? Mongolian Beef: My dad enjoyed the flavor of this dish and was overwhelmed by the portion size (dinner special). He did comment that the beef was a little bit tough & dry. General's Chicken: This is one of my guilty pleasures. Even so, I do have an ideal version in my mind that I compare versions of this dish to. I liked the flavors of this dish, but the very best General Tso's chicken retains some of its fried crunch. In this one, there was no contrast in texture, really. Hot and Sour Soup: Really nice version here. Served piping hot. I really enjoyed the flavor and will always go for this option on the lunch or dinner specials menu. Egg Roll: Couldn't find room for this during the meal. So much freaking food. I'll eat it tomorrow so I can see what besides cabbage is inside. Dad liked his. [edit: Ate the egg roll the next day, and I was not impressed. Mostly cabbage filling --everything else inside was unidentifiable except for a micro shrimp. For a better take on egg rolls, take Cass into downtown Westmont and look for China Chef on the west side of the street. Their egg rolls are really huge and TDF. /edit] App: Hot Chicken Wings Well, mixed results on the wings. On the plus side, they were nicely fried, came straight out of the fryer - so you'll be sure to have them hot if your trip home is short. The skin texture had plenty of crunch. On the negative side, despite the usual tell-tale sign of red pepper seeds, there was virtually no heat. I was tempted to walk over to Popeye's and get a few packets of Louisiana style hot sauce. They would have been perfect. App: Crab Rangoon They used the less common flat presentation versus the more common four petal version. I thought they had a nice flavor - could taste the scallions. As others have noted-not quite as sweet as many Crab Rangoon. I think it's for the better. All in all, a fine carry-out place. The lunch special is a killer value, and the dinner special is too (though not quite to the same extent). Recommended. read more

One star. This is not the first time we've ordered from the establishment and the order has been wrong or slow. I ordered it I was told 45 minutes for delivery and it was well over an hour and 15 minutes, and the order wasn't complete. Spend your money somewhere else and support other local businesses, this one is terrible and does not care about getting anything correct. read more

We ordered and when delivered it had ingredients that were not listed on the menu. Since I am allergic to bell peppers I could not eat what they delivered. I called them 15 minutes after the order was delivered and they said we never placed the order! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND read more

Have gotten take out many times from here. Always consistently good food at a responsible price. I will be back again!

I fucking love their fried chicken. I'd order their fried chicken over getting a cake or pie for my birthday. Their fried chicken is so damn good, I bet it would taste amazing next to waffles. Their fried chicken is juicy, crispy and tasty! read more

Everybody knows they have the best egg rolls around. Can't go wrong with a large fried rice and a couple of egg rolls. Delivery is quick and portions are big! read more

I was not a fan, it didn't meet my expectations at all. The white rice tasted like boxed instant rice. I've never tasted rice like that at any Chinese restaurant I've ever tried. Lo Mein had zero flavor and was extremely soggy. read more

Amazing as always. Hard to find good Chinese but this place is so delicious and I've been going here for years. I usually get the shrimp fried rice and beef egg foo young. Recently order the Mongolian beef and it was soo good. They definitely need to cut back on the onions and bell peppers and add more meat but overall the flavor was excellent. read more

Good food, good prices on combos. I recently tried calling to place an order and couldn't get through. I tried over 25 times. Then when I finally got through they put me on hold and forgot I was there. If business is good they should get more people or phone lines. I ordered from somewhere else read more

Ordered from here for the first time. Had the Kung pow beef lunch special for $6.95. There is so much food I have enough for dinner. Kong pow is loaded with meat and just the right amount of spice. Everything is excellent and I would go back. read more

Finally a place with great Chinese/Thai takeout !!! I placed a delivery order and saw on the website there's a coupon for free crab rangoon if you order $20 or more. The gentleman that took my order informed me that my order was not $20 but he told me that he would give me the free Crab Rangoon anyway. Thank you ! after about 45 minutes, My food arrived pretty hot , the crab rangoon is ok not the best but not the worst. I had the basil fried rice with tofu, the portion is big and they gave me a lot of tofu pieces !!!! The pad see ew is pretty decent too ! Both of the items has good flavors but it's not the same like the food you get from really good Thai restaurants. Definitely pass for great Chinese takeout!! Oh ! and I'm pretty happy with their customer service!!!! I definitely recommend this place !! :) read more

I've tried a few Chinese places in the area and this one is my favorite so far. They have solid shrimp fried rice with a decent amount of veggies and little shrimp. I prefer this preparation. I don't like it when there are 3 large shrimp on top cause I want to get shrimp on each bite. The pot stickers are ginormous but tasty. The Singapore noodles were dry and not that spicy so I'd stay away from those. But if you're like me and like veggies and small shrimp in your fried rice, this is a good spot. read more

Darien Chop Suey, pretty self explanatory. I was hungry. They have food. It made for a good combination. I had never been there, drove past many a time and today was the day, I walked in 30 minutes before closing and ordered the Mongolian beef, and egg rolls, of course. The location in a strip mall has 2 tables so we will say this is meant to take out, delivery is available. On the wall lists practically everything, beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetable, egg foo young, sweet and sour, chop suey, chow mein, noodles, and Thai cuisine. There were also family meal options feeding 2, 3 or four people. Even party trays were available. Lunch and dinner specials and house specials to. Ten minutes was the time I had to wait and my order was ready. There was no need to speed home the food was plenty warm. The Mongolian beef was served with white rice, and the beef was seasoned to my liking, with just a little kick. The beef was very good but was served with onions and peppers, a lot of peppers. The peppers were good, but there were, a lot, a tad too many for my liking. More beef less peppers would have been better, it just wasn't balanced evenly. The egg rolls were standard fare. The accommodating sauces were included with my meal. I was hungry, I came, I left, I ate, I was no longer hungry. Next time I'm hungry, Darien Chop Suey will be an option. read more

I am a huge Pad Thai fan, but this Pad Thai disappointed. It had an orange sauce and tasted like the microwaved versions you can buy at the store. Not much flavor. The tofu lacked flavor as well. My husband really enjoyed his Singapore Chow Mein Fu. The Chicken Fried rice was fantastic as were the crab rangoons - not too greasy like other places. I am not sure if I will order from here again because I like Pad Thai and that is about it. I guess I need to stick with Thai places for authentic, tasty Pad Thai. read more

First visit and the food was amazing. It was ready quickly and all of the family took do emptying the containers. The Singapore Noodle is one of the best we have ever had. We all liked the Orange Chicken. Pineapple curry was just OK. read more

Grabbed a half order of Chicken Chop Suey, was at first pretty excited, the portion was very big. That was about the end of my excitement, lacked seasoning, it was pretty bland, and had very little chicken. The chicken itself also had a very weird texture and didn't taste or look fresh at all. read more

Ordered beef fried rice tonight 10 minutes before closing. Yeah yeah yeah come now. Nothing but brown rice. No beef or egg . I wanted to give them a shot because the old owners sucked. Back to gong Ho for me read more

The food its ok, i ask to small mongolian beef, small fried rice, egg roll and a sprite, was almost 17.00 price is going up even on Chinese food, remember old times when you can get all this for 9.00. The little detail was they didn't put a fork on the bag, it has the famous fortune cookie, but have to eat with fingers, the egg rolls for me where to fried, the rest was fine, i recommend for a quick afternoon dinner and watch a movie home. since very few people where in line. They took little time to do. read more

Food is pretty good and plentiful. The problem is with how they talk to (degrade) their customers when things get busy, at lunchtime in particular. Maybe they should hire someone to take phone orders because this seems to be a huge source of stress for the guy up front, who I assume is one of the owners. I would give 2 and a half stars. You just can't treat customers that way and expect us to keep coming back for more, unless you like someone snapping at you when your food is ready. Too many options out there where the owners treat people like they care about their continued business. read more

Terrible service. My boyfriend and I wanted to order from here since it's our favorite place in the area. We tried calling today from both our phones and no answer. We called MULTIPLE TIMES. It says they are open today, which is why I don't understand why they wouldn't answer. Usually they will answer, even if it is a busy hour. Horrible! read more

Your Original Idea will get you well deserved recognition. My go to place for take out Chinese at lunch. Great portions - even better prices and tastes great. They are very friendly!!! read more

Really, really solid local Chinese takeout restaurant. Jumbo fried rice is our go to, and they use quality shrimp that don't taste like rubber. General's Chicken is really tasty, so-so Kung Pao Shrimp and Mongolian Beef. For as many bad Asian restaurants as there are in the area, this hole in the wall doesn't disappoint. If the basis of my rating was only the suburbs, this might be a 5! read more
