    #12. General Tso's Chicken Lunch Combo Plate
    Step ..

    The food was salty and service is OK , this is definitely a NOT To Go spot ... I would have given 0 but their prices change and you really don't know what they are until you order ... the menu is cool but beware of the price changes so it's a good thing to ask first before you order. I ordered the General To's & Orange Chicken lunch special and Vegetable Lo Mein with ComboTray appetizer .... Also check your receipt cause they hit you with a service fee that's not listed ... this is my last time I'm giving my money to this place ...

    Do not eat the food, this was taken from behind the shop. Food left out in the exposed air. Next to dumpster. Very unprofessional.

    This picture does enough with explaining what going on, they have food sitting in the back outside. Very unsanitary and not safe to eat. Who knows what kind of bugs and other things are on your food! The food is on a tray exposed to the elements, and by the dumpster.

    I would have to agree with the 3 star rating on yelp. Poor quality. Chicken in the chicken fried rice was the wrong color. I hope I don't get food poisoning

    Excellent food at a great price. Excellent service with a smile. Excellent presentation and dining area for a strip mall or what's considered as fast food Chinese. I was sick of the same old and after a quick search on the Yelp application on my phone I found this Chinese place. From the moment I walked in the entrance I was greeted with a warm smile and its been warm greetings ever since. For roughly $6.50 to ten dollars (average meal price) I've enjoyed quite a few work day meals. $6.50 is the average price for a lunch special. Plus for additions, like appetizers, etc. If you dine in you can opt for a glass of water which comes accented with lemon or purchase a soda or bottled water. I only mention this detail because I've been to other neighboring Chinese fast food joints and was always charged for drinks, no offers of water in a glass when dining in. If you dine in you have the option of paying after your meal like a typical sit down experience or pay when ordering so that you can rush back to work. A few exceptional dishes, General Tao's, which is not on the lunch menu, but served in a small size is perfect for the average appetite. The following are included in lunch specials, like, Pepper steak, Mongolian Chicken, Orange chicken, Chicken in spicy sauce, I could go on and on. What I love is that the ownership is thankful for repeat business. The food is fresh and it can be tasted. Something as minute as egg rolls, potstickers and Crab Rangoon are all made in house. That's not generic or boring, that's effing awesome. If you're a local reading my review, it's worth the bookmark. When my meal arrives at the table it's me, my meal and Uncle Jessie or Eric Foreman. Above eye level is a flat screen TV tuned into TV's most favorite reruns. I'm seated on a comfortable (padded) black chair surrounded by a few red cedar topped tables and a few plants. The atmosphere is stress free and pleasant, typically a few people in the background watching the screen as they quietly enjoy their meals.

    Orange chicken, popcorn shrimp and white rice.

    I ordered online. I went there to pick up the food, but they were closed. Good thing is that I didn't pay online.

    Had been looking for Chinese after moving from Chicago. I ordered online for pickup and ended up…read morewaiting about 7-10 minutes longer than the expected pickup time. When I walked in, there were some patrons eating a simple rice and noodle dish and there it was front and center, a microwave... and the older lady cook had just put something in there and punched it for a preset 1 minute timer. So that definitely made me ... know this was about to be sad. They do have woks going, but it looks like the main things that touch them is the noodles and rice only so there is SOME hot food Here is my order: 1 Fried Dumplings 1 Peppered Steak 1 Orange Chicken 1 Beef Lo Mein 1 Beef Fried Rice 1 Sweet and Sour soup This is my review of each: 1 Fried Dumplings - 2/5 Soggy, prefried, definitely from the microwave, not firm dumpling wrapper with bad five spice aftertaste. 1 Peppered Steak and Onion - 2/5 absolute ripoff, meager portions of steak, should be called Onion with Some Steak. just taste like the generic beef and broccoli juice flavor, filled to the brim of raw onion, and poorly cooked bell peppers. 1 Orange Chicken - 1/5 Prefried, Sweet, soggy, bad pieces of meat, absolutely sus looking 1 Beef Lo Mein - 4/5 not enough sauce on the noodles, but the noodles were cooked well and were very hot so I suspect that actually touched the Wok 1 Beef Fried Rice - 3/5 (only because of the raw onion) the rice was the oily fried goodness, idk why they put unevenly cut raw onions in this. It ruined it a bit. 1 Sweet and Sour soup 0/5 - absolutely atrocious. Nothing there at all. Money value I give it a 4/5. Would not personally eat inside as it is cramped and not separate from kitchen. Will not return though overall

    Got lunch for takeout from this strip mall Chinese place in Mundelein. It doesn't look like much,…read morebut it still beat expectations though. New China Chef has all the usual stuff, from beef to tofu and whatever. Big portions help make things a good value for what you get. The prices aren't bad especially on lunch specials. Came in and placed an order to go. It's a pretty cramped place, but there's enough room for a few tables for those eating inside. The atmosphere is pretty lame. About the worst thing that can be said about it. There's two humongous menus on the walls. It's about $12 for the regular size entrees. They also have lunch specials. Has vegetarian choices. I got the Kung Pao Tofu. Good spice to it. The tofu was firm, and there was a good variety of vegetables including broccoli, corn, and more. For lunch it's pretty good. It's pretty fast to get most orders. There's a variety of proteins including tofu for vegetarians.
