505. Sweet and Sour Chicken
Ulyssa O.

We've been ordering from here for a couple years now. The last two orders have been awful but we didn't complain before. However things are more expensive now. The sweet and sour chicken was extremely hard that I cut gums on it. Couldn't even put a fork through it. Looking at the picture it seems they double fried it to warm it up. We called for a refund but they said we have to do it through Chow Now. We ended up not eating it.

Chicken Pan Fried Noodles

Got take out one night after work. Was good (not great), but I would go back and try something else. Egg rolls were included with an online order of a certain amount so check the website!

I think this was supposed to be a potsticker

I was a super fan of the Schaumburg location. Now we are closer to Elgin. We ordered a while back & the food was different. Dry. The potstickers which were our favorite were sus. We reordered then they should be called under cooked dough balls Gave them another chance last night. Thanks for reminding me why we stopped ordering. Do better. We were long time customers.

Fried rice
Gia B.

I always like this place and I recommend this place when people ask for good Chinese but today I ordered a dinner combo and when I got home to enjoy the good food... the rice was all bad, it's like they over fried some of the rice or mixed with old dryer fried rice! I tried to eat it like this but it was so dry I couldn't.

Small Beef Lo Mein
Aimee S.

First time coming here on a curbside pickup and it was phenomenal! Hands down the best chinese restaurant in the area. Lunch/Dinner are a bargain! I Ordered hot/spicy shredded beef combo comes with drink and egg roll, small beef Lo mein , and House Special Noodles soup. Although, I think I will not order the soup again. Wasn't a bad taste , but no taste of anything just lots of vegetables, and no noodles??? I will definitely be back any try other entrees. Btw! Fried rice is absolutely tasteful! Perfect. Not too salty or greasy. The vegetables was fresh and quality is A++. I'm very impressed with this place.

Vegetable Delight

We've been ordering from Fortune House for a couple of years now and it used to be sort of hit or miss but over time it's been pretty consistently a big miss. My son always orders General Taos chicken and it's often so dry and hard it's inedible. I ordered the veggie delight and there had to be chunks of at least 3 whole bell peppers I picked out. It was HALF bell pepper. Who wants to sit down to a meal of bell pepper? Too often they forget to provide sauces for the dishes and we always do pick up so it's a huge hassle to have to back for a sauce. The past 2 times we've ordered from here we've ended up with a couple of days digestive distress and tossed out all the leftovers. I can't recommend this place to anyone in good faith.

The heat is layered and intentional, and even the small detail of the hot pepper garden behind the restaurant adds to the sense that the kitchen genuinely cares about its craft. The only hesitation is the pricing, which trends noticeably high. Still, when the food carries this much flavor and character, it's easier to understand where the value comes from.

This spot is not much for ambience inside or outside but on the day of my visit they had brisk takeout and the dining room was packed...real quick. I'm sure a lot of folks go here for the Chinese menu items but I was there for the Lao goodies! They did not disappoint! We had the fried meat balls; a mixed app plate with chicken wings, Lao sausage, and beef jerky; lap beef; and a healthy serving of sticky rice (ok maybe we had 2 to sop up the lap beef). Flavors were on point. Medium spice had us excited and rolling at the same time as it got spicier throughout the meal for the lap...but it was so good! I can't wait to go back and try more! Service was friendly and attentive. Parking was easy since they have their own lot.

This is where I always get Chinese in Elgin. It's my favorite place. The husband/wife (i'm…read moreassuming) owners are super nice. I usually come in for lunch when I work weekends. My girlfriend and I LOVE their crab rangoon. The steamed dumplings are also delicious. I switch it up whenever I go usually, so i've had a good amount of the menu items. Fried rice is great, lo mein is AWESOME, beef and broccoli is top notch, sweet and sour chicken is pretty good. I've also tried the mongolian beef which was awesome (I just don't get it that much because they don't have the option for combos). Oh yeah, and they have combos for about $7. Entree comes with pork fried rice and an egg roll. Great deal. It's a strictly a take out place, but if you really want to sit down and eat there, there's a single table (which I would think is mainly just there for people waiting to pick up their food). Overall, if you're going to a friends house or wanna pick up some quick food on your way home from work, this is a great place to stop. They're quick, cheap and GOOD.

New China is located in a shopping center close to things like a Wal-Mart. Even so, forget about the image before you try it. The food we got was better than it looks in a few pictures. After placing a to go order, I came. It was pretty empty inside, as in no customers were actually inside. They were only accepting to go orders, so that's why. Basic kind of Chinese American items. We got the Fried Tofu With Vegetables. It's about $10 for the only portion. This is the kind of Chinese place that only has the one portion for tofu items, and it's large enough for two. It wasn't bad for all that honestly, helped because there was a lot. This was kind of greasy but okay. Getting orders from here isn't that bad except for those wanting dining in. It's only to go orders. The dining room isn't anything special anyway though.

It's pretty hard to like everything on any restaurant menu, but I have eaten about 8 or 10 different meals and they were all good! Twice cooked pork might be one of the best items. It's my go to. Loaded with pork and kow cut veggies in a mildly spicy brown sauce. Wait staff is always friendly and the food comes out fast.

Placed an order online and will say absolutely disappointed with my order and service…read more Upon arrival the wait was short. I paid automatically with a credit card. Then my food is brought out but before I can leave I'm told that they made a mistake on line with pricing and I owe them $0.75 more which I did not care and gave them $.08 but I wonder if they owed me the $.75 if they would be so willing to give it back to me. Then the owner comes out and starts taking my food out. If you place an order $50 or more you get an appetizer for free. our previous visit they forgot it and we were told the next time when we place an order to remind them and they will give us one. So since this order was over $50, I got one appetizer for free plus the appetizer that they forgot about last time. The owner comes out and starts digging out the additional appetizer. You only get one you only get one. Which I nicely explained to her that they owed us two. Very unpleasant woman. But the disappointment comes when I get home and opened all of the containers. Mongolian beef was horrible. It's called Mongolian beef because it's supposed to have beef . The dish is 90% onion couple noodles throw in and a little bit of beef ....just horrible. Same thing with other two meals where you had majority of vegetables and no meats or shrimp. Very disappointed with the order. They are becoming hidden and miss restaurant. You never know if you're gonna get a good order or a crappy order like we got today.

We used to enjoy ordering from…read morehere, but the quality and service have noticeably declined while the prices have continued to climb. Our most recent order was the breaking point. The rice was hard and crunchy, and, much more concerning, we were served chicken that appeared undercooked. At that point, this went beyond simply being disappointed with the food. We called the restaurant to let them know what happened and give them an opportunity to address it. Instead of listening to the complaint or trying to make things right, the person we spoke with became rude and argumentative, raised their voice, accused us of lying, and ultimately told us not to come back. That was honestly more disappointing than the bad meal itself. Mistakes happen in restaurants, and we understand that. How you respond when a customer respectfully brings a legitimate concern to your attention says a lot. Between the declining food quality, higher prices, and especially the way our concern was handled, we won't be returning. After being explicitly told not to come back, I suppose that decision was made pretty easy for us.
