    Ghetto and low class. We went to sit down and eat for dinner. They made us get up and get paper menus from the front then said we had to order at the counter and they would give us paper plates to eat off of. So trashy. The employees a man and a woman were rude and clearly didn't want to be working there. Then they claimed they didn't have any hot tea lol. We will not be back. This place won't be open much longer if they keep this up.

    Mongolian Beef Lunch
    Linda P.

    This place was well rated on our beloved Yelp but I'm not sure why. Place was definitely clean and service was fast and friendly. We went at lunch and ordered at the counter before sitting in a booth. The place was empty,but it was a Tuesday after MLK Day. So all and all we had high hopes. However, other than a superb egg roll and large portions, we found the food pretty bland and flavorless. I had the lunch Mongolian Beef and the DH had his standard sesame chicken lunch. Some of my onions were undercooked and it all lacked depth of flavor or umami or just plain seasoning. My usually not picky DH was equally underwhelmed.

    Dry chicken and dry chicken in plain rice :(

    1st time here.... Chicken in the rice was so dry, and no veggies, so plain. Chicken in vegetables was slimy and salty. Orange chicken was dry and hard. Broccoli was frozen, would have been nice to have fresh.

    Lucky Panda, I'm surprised that after all these years I've never written a review. You have been our go to for Chinese, from the Orange Chicken, Crab Rangoon, Pot Stickers, Sweet and Sour Shrimp, Chicken and more. All have been outstanding! Sadly, when I went online to order lunch today I found you closed and the reason stated was because of the COVID epidemic. I'm looking forward to when you reopen and will continue to be our go to for Chinese.

    Hunan Chicken Dinner

    I ordered a Hunan Beef dinner online for pickup. When I arrived home, I opened my plate, and there was Hunan Chicken. I called Lucky Panda and explained what had happened. He then offered to remake the meal tonight. I told him I had to be at work the next day at 4 AM, therefore I would not be returning the same night. He then tells me not to eat dinner tonight. Then tomorrow bring the same plate back. I replied, what am I supposed to eat tonight? I guess if I can't come tonight then I just have to live with it. He replies, yeah, I am sorry. Sir, I will not be back at ALL.

    Three start sizzling...beef, chicken AND bbq pork.

I was feeling extremely hungry, so I basically tried all of the hot appetizers and I could not have been more pleased! The eggrolls, the crab Rangoon's, the dumplings, everything was so delicious! Next time I would probably order less at once so I can eat everything, but it was delicious. I asked the waiter for recommendations on a thick noodle and he delivered! I can't remember the name but they were so tasty! It was pretty empty while I was there, I visited a Thursday evening around 6 PM, but I will definitely be seeing this place again!

    Someone said this was fine dining? I can assure you guys this is not fine dining, prices are not…read moreeven close. 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.

The server was always on her phone. I asked her so many times to removed the dirty plates from the table and she completely ignored us. The ambiance was empty just a few orders to go.

I ordered online for carry out and the platform was easy to navigate. Once my husband and I arrived at the resto we were greeted by a very kind staff member. Our food wasn't ready but within 5 mins of us being there it was good to go. We tried the wonton soup and chicken dumplings app. Both were on the bland side. 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.

I moved away to Clarendon Hills, but my mom still lives near by & so today I was in the area & stopped by. Something I have ALWAYS loved about this restaurant is the fish tank, & I noticed it has recently been restocked with fresh Koi. Which, made me sad because it really made me realize how old I am. Ordered my food, General Taos, chicken Fried rice & crab rangoons, my old usual. Drove all the way home, and opened & absolutely devoured my meal. Literally 3 decades of going to this restaurant, and it STILL hits every time. Thank you.

    Before you walk into the restaurant you see it's not that clean and then you walk into it looks ok…read more It could use some updating. We sat at our table waiting for our family. We were served water and then for 20 mins, no one came to ask if we wanted drinks until our rest of our family sat down. The server was acting busy, but the restaurant only had two other tables. Although lots of take out! 9 of us, we ordered a lot of food and it was A LOT. Mostly rice and noodles very little meat in the dishes. Everyone said the food was good. Basic Chinese food. I had the chicken fried rice and I tried a pot sticker. Tasted like all other foods I've had in the past. We were given cookies and fortune cookies to finish. Bathrooms were dirty and regular paper towels were provided. Didn't see a normal towel dispenser. Would I return? Nah. Maybe I would order out if I lived I the area. But I don't know if there are better places in the area. Which I'm guessing no. That's why there are so many take-outs.
