    Stir fried Bp4. Beef W/ Chinese Chives
    Jie S.

    Enjoyed a wonderful dinner here with a few friends. The flavors were full body of spiciness. Great the see quite some of my favorites are offered here. Highly recommend the must have list. We tried pepper with beef, mushrooms with eggs, river eel stew, egg yolk shrimp and more. Enjoyed everything and had a wonderful conversation too. Located at the most popular walking area in Naperville. Parking could be a challenge.

    La Mom Kitchen is truly a hidden gem! I usually order carryout from another Asian restaurant nearby, but my daughter and I decided to try something different--and I'm so glad we did. Our hostess was welcoming and attentive, and every dish arrived fresh and piping hot. We ordered from the vegetarian menu: vegetable lo mein and General Tso's tofu. Coming from New York and the East Coast, I have missed that familiar, authentic lo mein flavor. The moment my plate arrived and I smelled it, it brought back memories--and the taste did not disappoint. The tofu was delicious as well. We also tried the crab rangoons, which were larger and different from any I've had before. They arrived hot, crispy, and absolutely delicious. My only suggestion would be to make the dining area feel warmer and more intimate. The space currently feels a little open and sparse, so a few additional tables and chairs, Asian-inspired divider screens, wall art, and large green plants--especially near the hostess stand and menu area--would create a more inviting atmosphere. The food and service were excellent. Don't let the simple appearance fool you--this restaurant is a hidden jewel, and it is definitely on my list to visit again! Coach Phyllis

    New place for me. Ordered food for dinner. Pretty good as a whole. Favorite was the Lo Mein

    Sad and disgusting braised meatballs
    Pucca A.

    I was really looking forward to this place and was extremely disappointed. Not only was the food poor in taste, it was overpriced and a hazard. The braised meatballs...plural...ended up being - single jumbo meatball that was disgusting and it was $30! I have a receipt to prove it. It's a meatball in a little bit of gravy. I also ordered the cold smoked fish that was riddled with small bones that one jammed right into the roof of my daughter's mouth. We will not be back. Please avoid and save your money.

    The food was amazing- very high quality and delicious! And the service was very friendly and helpful, they were very busy and our server was still very attentive and helpful. Definitely going to make this a regular spot. The location is perfect- very clean and good atmosphere

    The food was just ok, not overly flavorful. Was a bit disappointed at the portion sizes given the price of the entrees.

There were other items that were on the menu but they don't carry anymore such as the braised pork soup. The prices were reasonably priced and to keep the value of the food, they suggest you pay with cash. I would recommend this place for tasty hot wonton soup.

It is so delicious!! I really wanted to order another bowl after the first bite. The beef flanks are so tender. It was unfortunate that I didn't have any tomatoes in the soup. Overall I was very surprised with how delicious it taste. The server also showed me all the displayed sauces when I went to pick up the order. I appreciated his help and his recommendations. They charged me for a credit card convenience fee when I paid in cash but I'm sure it was an honest mistake. The place is quite hidden, but the food is worth a second visit!

    UPDATED Daniel-- I…read moredo love a good pizza!! But yes, I also love Chinese food. If I were to rank this kind of thing, it's probably my fourth favorite, after Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese. I'd place pizza in about 5th place. Having said that, two of my top 10 favorite restaurants in Chicago are Chinese restaurants - one right around the corner from you! Moon Palace Express used to be in my top 20 for sure, and possibly in my top 10 for a good stretch of time post-Covid. I was eating there at least twice a week, and loved almost everything I tried on the menu. My two favorites were probably the General Tso's and the Kung Pao chicken. So spicy and flavorful! That's what made today's bland lunch so disappointing. Thanks for the response to my initial review. I haven't had ice cream in about a year but you've just made me crave some!! This used to be one of my top three Chinatown spots. I've had several things off the menu, and they've all gone downhill. Today I ate there for the last time. I hadn't been for a year because the last few times things were not great, but today I was craving it. I thought maybe things had bounced back. If I were to close my eyes and take a hit of this Kung Pao chicken, I would guess that it was rice in a bowl of lukewarm warm water, with some old, soggy, tasteless chunks of an indistinguishable vegetable. Quite possibly the worst kung pao chicken I've ever had, and one of the worst meals in general in months. I will never go back here.

Service 8/10 I feel is a good service but they can improve by making it a better understanding of the food. Show more pictures so people can understand or want to buy their food. But waiters are fast and easy to asked them for anything. Ambiance: 10/10 *cozy *clean *cute setting and very cozy

This is casual Chinese but the interior is nicer than most Chinese restaurants. We ordered crab rangoon, crispy shrimp with lemon sauce, twice cooked pork, baby bok choy with garlic, smoked tea duck, and boiled sole fish fillet in spicy Szechuan sauce. Service was good. Food came out fast. It wasn't very busy on a Sunday evening. Prices were fair for the portions. Overall about a 3.5 out of 5. -crab rangoon 5 - big pieces with a lot of filling inside. -crispy shrimp with lemon sauce 5 - this reminds me of walnut shrimp but with lemon flavor. Shrimp was crunchy. -twice cooked pork 3 - This was decent but it didn't have a lot of pork in it. A lot of vegetables but I wanted more pork. -baby bok choy with garlic 5 - vegetables were soft not soggy., -smoked tea duck 5 - pieces had a good amount of meat. I could really taste the smoky flavor. -boiled sole fish fillet 4 - not too spicy. This was a very good dish but I wished they added more fish in it.

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.
