    The food here was unique and tasty. Having smaller portions for the appetizers made it easier for me to try different ones from the menu. The restaurant itself isn't fancy and lacks décor. Tasty Tofu $6.25 - Crispy on the outside and silky on the inside. I would order these again. Crab Rangoon (4) $5.50 - Small but delicious. Pan-fried Chicken Dumpling (6) $6.95 - Tiny delicious dumplings. Sichuan Style Diced Beef over rice $16.25 - The beef were lean, tender and full of flavor! Shrimp fried rice $14.95 - Flavorful fried rice. Kung Pao chicken - $18 - This didn't taste like your normal kung pao. The chicken was breaded, deep fried and covered in a sweet sauce. It looked more like a sweet and sour dish and there was no spiciness. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2025

    Cold Beef Shank
    Scott M.

    It's not a pretty joint. There were boxes stacked near the entrance, 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...

    (L) Halal Lamb Soup w. Handmade Bun
    Hira H.

    I'd give this place 10 stars if I could - I can't believe it's taken me THIS long to eat at this joint! We ordered SO much food because I just could not decide what I wanted. So here are all the things we ordered: Lamb Soup with Handmade Bun - the broth is clear, and mildly flavored. This is NOT for the folks who are looking for the fiery sichuan peppers. This is a comforting, homey type lamb soup that shines in its simplicity. The radishes in it add a nice bite, and the herbs it's garnished with add a fresh pop of flavor. The handmade bun is bland, but soft and chewy, and what you're really supposed to do is pull the meat off the bones, stick them inside the bun with the chilli crisp provided and you have a xian bing!!!! It was DELICIOUS! Chicken in Sichuan Sauce - for those looking for the fiery kick of sichuan peppers, this one is for you. Even then, it's relatively mild. But EXTREMELY flavorful. The sauce is not so much a sauce as it is a poaching liquid that pairs REALLLLLLY well with white rice. This was a delight to the mouth. Pepper Chicken Fry - this is more along the lines of the commercial Chinese food we ordered in its look and consistency, but the flavor was amazing and unique. My husband I absolutely loved it. The egg fried rice we ordered with it was simply divine! We also ordered the chicken dumplings, the filling is very plain but flavorful. And we also ordered the crab rangoons - the filling is delicious, not too sweet just perfect! The BEST part of the meal, for me, was the pot of green tea we ordered. It was the PERFECT accompaniment to our meal. Our server was super helpful, and answered all our questions with a smile! Please keep in mind that this is a Northern Chinese joint, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), and the food is meant to be flavorful, not overly salty and spicy. This is exactly what I would expect out of a northern Chinese restaurant! Loved it! Definitely coming back over and over again!

    General tso chicken
    Sapha H.

    The food here is so good, highly recommend trying this restaurant. The beef lo mein was our favorite, we also tried the stir fry pepper chicken and the meat was so tender and soft. We had the general tso chicken that just tasted okay but wasn't bad. The lunch special is only $15 for a huge amount of food, drink, and a starter (half size of a normal starter). Food came out super quickly. The restaurant is clean, spacious, casual, and they have high chairs available too.

    L1 Chicken Lo Mein
    Ishani B.

    Affordable lunch special at this location made it a good place for office team lunch. Clean with open kitchen concept. I got chicken lo mein with crab Rangoon and peach ice tea. The peach ice tea is the reason for an extra star in this review as it was extremely refreshing with lychee jellies on a hot summer day! The Lo Main was okay as the noodles could have done better with a little extra seasoning. The crab Rangoon had a soft center and crispy cover as expected.

    S5 Cucumber Salad with Garlic Sauce
    January O.

    Not much going on interior wise but don't let that stop you from having a delicious meal. We stopped by after a soccer tourney and wanted something warm and spicy. We started off with the cucumbers and spicy wontons. The cucumbers were topped with a delicious savory garlic sauce. The wontons were yummy as well not super spicy but nonetheless delicious. My husband got the spicy beef noodles. The broth was so good. I can't remember what I got but it was beef on a bed of stir fry noodles and veggies. The beef was so good and tender. The noodles weren't that great. I stole some of my husbands broth and it helped. My daughter got the noodles with beef broth and it came with a spring roll and a side. She really enjoyed her meal. Overall it's definitely worth a stop.

    The spicy beef noodles is my favorite and it's the best beef ever. I come for this noodle at least once a week. Highly recommended!

    Food is good , serving size is good also , we came in on a Friday place was busy , they need more help in servers , price it was mid $16 for most dishes , I like there stir fried chicken

    Beef fried rice
    Maggie M.

    It was pretty inside, but we were able to be seated right away for 2 ppl. Got the fried dumplings with chili oil sauce to dip. The chicken was more like mince chicken, so it had a smooth texture like paste. It was a bit bland by itself, so definitely need to dip in that chili oil, which wasn't that spicy. The beef fried rice was really good and was stir fried well. Wasn't soggy or overcooked. Had great flavors. Had the N2. Signature beef noodle. At first it seemed like there isn't enough noodles, but there was a good amount. I think you can request for extra noodles. Flavors were great and I actually dipped the beef in the chili oil for the flavor. Noodles had that handmade texture and a bit of chewiness. It is a bit hidden and never knew it existed, until I was searching online for asian food in Naperville. Also there are plenty of parking spots.

    N1 J's Signature Spicy Beef Noodle
    Bruce M.

    It's so nice to have a place where I can get spicy beef noodle soup not too far from home. Their noodles taste very fresh. I was impressed by the level of spice. It was hot enough to keep the dish interesting but not so spicy that my nose ran. We also had wings and some dumplings, which were tasty as well. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The staff was attentive. I am looking forward to going back. I would say I would try something different next time, but I'm a realist. I'll be going back for the soup.

    Tofu Noodle Soup
    Greg G.

    Family drove like 40min here to try the noodles - J's Kitchen is easy-to-find and park in a small cluster of stores. Upon entry, there's a sign of 5% off using cash. Service-wise - J's is excellent. They offered hot and cold water and were amazing at refilling it throughout the meal without interruption. They explained anything we asked, and honestly, they're ridiculously efficient and professional. Food-wise: Mom got the spring roll and tofu noodle soup. I couldn't try because I didn't want to chance her getting sick, but she said she liked it. My brother and I got the classic Spicy Beef Noodle soup - and it was pretty dang good. Mom remarked that it seemed like a small portion, and it kinda was but it was still enough. The noodles were thick and had the perfect chew - amazing! We wished there was more, but there was an adequate amount for what it was. The spicy beef noodle soup came with two pieces of beef - they're a little smallish but still adequate. One of my pieces was really good - tenderized and delicious. The other was a little too fatty (but honestly expected). The broth itself looked a little oily, but I didn't mind. And the spice level was good enough for me - nothing crazy if you like your throat on fire but definitely approachable by anyone who likes spice. We also tried the seasonal taro duck buns. I honestly didn't see that there was taro in the description so I was surprised to bite into the potatoe-y texture. So the outside bun is gorgeous - slightly sweet and crispy. The taro though, I think was good but doesn't work well with the duck. It makes the dish half-dessert/half-entree, and it's confusing to the tastebuds (at least mine). I would have definitely preferred just duck and buns even if it was smaller - and if they could alternate-layer the duck and dough, that would just be amazing. I can't fault them though as the quality of the food was good, and the value is also good. Just the concept itself may not be for me. Overall, really like J's Kitchen! It's far for us to come more often, but glad we got to try. The lunch special looks realllllly good, but yeah, we live too far to take advantage (lucky for you folks who do!). We realllly appreciate the service again, and hope everyone gets to try the spicy beef noodle soup!

    N3. Chongqing Traditional Street Noodle
    Francis R.

    I thought this place was good. Signature beef noodle didn't disappoint. Nice flavors and fresh made noodles. Beef was tender and easily pulled apart. Also tried the Traditional Chongqing noodle which used very fine and thin noodles which I didn't care much for. For the little one, we did an order of the chicken lo mein, which was very good and I also enjoyed as they use fresh noodles. Probably the biggest disappointment was the smashed cucumber salad. Essentially just chopped raw cucumbers topped with a garlic-y sauce. I love garlic but it'd be nice if the cucumbers were marinated for a bit opposed to being served raw. Anyways, come for the beef noodle. It won't disappoint. 'Til next time, cheers!

My wife had the fish and chips and they were a WOW, the cook and flavors were spot on. We split the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. It was almost better than the entrees. Every bite was a taste of heaven. It was life changing Brent the manager checked in on us, he was friendly and engaging, we talked for quite a while.

I spoke with the lady and confirmed it was going to be pan-Asian food and all halal! She told me the opening date was November 1st. Today I stopped in, and sure enough it was open. The lady (who I believe is Yola) told me they planned to rotate dishes and will include various Asian dishes, like Thai food. Today they had fried rice, crispy noodles, shrimp, fried chicken drumsticks/wings, chicken lollipop, and diced chicken & potatoes. They even had duck! It all looked good, but I decided to try fried rice with the diced chicken & potatoes, along with a few pieces of chicken lollipop (which is like fried chicken on a stick, or bone). I brought the food to my parent's house for a family dinner. I really enjoyed the food. The fried rice wasn't out of this world, but the chicken lollipop was really good and the chicken & potato dish was pretty good. I love Asian food, so I'm stoked about having a halal option. The food was sold by weight, and I feel we got a decent value. This isn't a place you can go to for a nice dinner out, but a good takeout option. Looking forward to trying other dishes here.

I ordered 5 tacos for me and my wife for $20 and it was amazing. Great value and they gave a ton of meat as well. The staff were also friendly and greeted you. The decor was also very nice and you felt like you're on vacation while you ate. This place is a great compromise for good Mexican food and 100% authentic. PS I ordered the chicken tacos which are bad anywhere you go around here but they were by far my favorite of any Mexican restaurant I've been to. Would highly recommend this place for Mexican food lovers.

    It was our first time dining at Milliy Family Restaurant, and we had such a wonderful experience!…read moreThe restaurant is spotless and thoughtfully designed -- there's even a kids' playground inside, which is a total game-changer for parents like us who don't have grandparents nearby for date nights. The kids had a blast playing, which meant we actually got to enjoy a peaceful dinner. 100 bonus points for that, Milliy! Our server, Venera, was an absolute delight -- friendly, knowledgeable, and so attentive. We truly felt welcomed and well taken care of. And the food... oh, the food! I'm still dreaming about the samsa and lulya kebab. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious -- from the Beef Stroganoff, Milliy Salad, Uzbek Bread, Borsch, Olivie Salad, and Herring Royale Salad, to the Gulyash and Beef Kabobs. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully prepared. We had such a great time and honestly can't wait to go back soon!

    To start, I'll admit I'm not an expert on Uzbek cuisine, though I do enjoy food from that part of…read morethe world. The space: The restaurant itself is inviting--clean, nicely decorated, and even equipped with a kids' play area, which makes it feel well-suited for families and larger gatherings. The service: Service felt on the slower side, but I later realized there's a call button on the table--likely the system they use for ordering, asking for help, or requesting the check. A good tip for first-time visitors: press the button when you're ready. The food: I ordered the Palov, a traditional rice dish with lamb chunks and a quail egg. Unfortunately, it wasn't to my taste. The rice and lamb leaned overly greasy, leaving a coating in my mouth long after the meal. The lamb itself was decent when hot, but quickly became dry as it cooled. It's not a dish I'd order again. Overall: Milliy Family Restaurant has a welcoming space and friendly staff, but the flavors and preparation just didn't work for me personally. While I appreciate the experience, I don't see myself returning
