Yummy veg noodles! I came in with the intention of trying a dish a previous Yelp reviewer mentioned, Veg Noodles. Lo Mein. Very large portion. Very generous. Crispy cooked vegetables- not overcooked! That's awesome, and similar to spaghetti noodles with some soy sauce. Very simple dish , but when prepared properly, it's very enjoyable. Thank you. I would recommend them. Polite people and nice family business. In a strip mall Willowbrook Square. West of IL 83, Kingery Highway. On 63rd St. slots next door; nice place. Tailor by Tina & Allure Day Spa.

If you want some standard Chinese take out that's great value and large portions this is the place to go; my partner and I ordered to go as we're new to the area and wanted to find a spot that can be our go-to Chinese takeout place and Oriental Taste didn't disappoint. We got their bbq pork chow main, sweet and sour chicken, crab rangoon, and house special fried rice. The food literally lasted us the following 2-3 days because the portions are massive. The taste is great- hits the spot when you're craving some Chinese takeout! read more

My partner and I live near here and have never tried it. We were craving some Chinese food and I'm glad we chose to order! We got crab rangoons, egg rolls, sezchuan chicken and general tso's chicken both with fried rice. A pretty great priced meal that was yummy! The general tso's chicken could have been a bit more tender but still yummy. The fried rice was so delicious. And my partner loved the crab rangoons. We ordered over the phone, which the woman who answered was very nice. Our food was ready in 15 minutes and was deliciously hot. We will definitely order again! read more

Oriental Taste - Inside - Chinese Near Me - Willowbrook, Illinois

Though the name of this restaurant is horribly outdated, the food holds up. OT is your standard greasy spoon and will satisfy all your tasty needs. I got the lunch special which is reasonably priced for the amount of food that comes with. The portion could probably feed two adults, or one with a hearty appetite. I did the Szechwan Chicken with fried rice. It was a good protein to veggie ratio and the rice was more than enough. From a flavor standpoint, it's the typical American salty style, with strong flavors and probably too much sauce. I ate the whole thing, so that is not a criticism. The employee working was very friendly and I would come back. Note that there is currently no seating for dining right now, but there's covered up tables in the corner, so maybe one day. read more

Oriental Taste - Szechwan Chicken Lunch Special. - Chinese Near Me - Willowbrook, Illinois

Excellent food at a reasonable price. I found this restaurant a few months ago and have only ordered from here ever since.

One of my go to Chinese places. They are take only. Prices are average for the bountiful portions you get. The owner at the front is very nice. Ample parking to get you in/out. If you call ahead, it usually takes them about 15 mins to cook your order depending on how much you order. I recommend ordering items from the authentic Chinese dishes, bbq entrees, rice plate, and congees. I've included some pictures. A menu with this much variety, I'm sure it can get repetitive ordering the typical Americanized Chinese dishes like orange chicken, Mongolian beef, kung pao shrimp, etc. Dishes I've tried and recommend: roast pork, bbq pork, Mandarin style pork chop, stuffed tofu, seafood tofu, and any congee. read more

Authentic Cantonese cuisine, reasonable price and great service. A regular spot for our family.

My first Chinese takeout in this area since I moved over a year ago and I was pleasantly surprised. From the two items I had, I was very satisfied with the service and food. Actually the General Tsao is one of the best I've had. I also got beef with vegetables and that was great as well. I paid about $28 and it could easily feed about 4 people. read more

My go to place if I want BBQ Pork, Roast pork or Duck!! It's as if you purchased it from a Chinatown Restaurant. I also love their general Tso's Ckn (cooked crispy!) and their egg rolls. Everything we ever ordered was delicious. Fenny and her husband run this carry out restaurant. She's always so friendly and sweet!! Support the small businesses !! read more

Great food and loved the Mongolian beef. Huge portions and quick. We'll be back for more

Let me start off by saying Salt and Pepper squid ... order it. Wonton Soup beef and sprout chow fun, sweet sour chiken all very good . This is a fantastic restaurant, with some well executed traditional Chinese cuisine. Having lived on the edge of Chinatown for years and enjoying all that Chinatown has to offer this is right up there with the best of them. Not sure if they currently offer the roast duck or BBQ pork. Haven't seen it in the case. The only gripe I have is that I wish they were a little closer... Let me know what you think. Enjoy #ghostlygourmet read more

Pretty much as much of a hidden gem as you're going to get. There's a lot of reasons people may shy away from this place -- the outside sign is faded, the menu lacks the colorful graphics other restaurants have adopted, the restaurant doesn't look busy inside, they have only one large table, there's minimal decor, there's few Yelp ratings and pictures, and this is hidden at the very end of a strip mall, not easily visible from the road. Now, I can't speak for the Americanized Chinese options here -- but their Hong Kong Style / Cantonese dishes here are about as good as you're going to get outside of Chinatown (and actually better than a lot of Chinatown restaurants). Food comes out piping hot and in good portion sizes, and recipes have the unapologetic traditional flavors. The most important ingredient here is wok hay or umami. It's apparent in their simple but very tasty food. Here are my thoughts on the different items I tried: Chicken and black mushroom congee: Super creamy, probably the last place I would have expected to do it in this more time consuming, traditional format. There was a bit of shortcut taken with grounding the rice, but the recognition to create this texture is impressive, particularly at this price point. The black mushroom brings a nice body and earthiness to the dish while the chicken is nice and tender. Overall the flavor is very light and not salty at all, with a little touch of sesame oil tying everything together. Clams with black bean sauce: Surprisingly large portion of clam which was cooked very tender and juicy. The sauce was very tasty, almost like a mix of black bean and XO sauce and other components and was actually not too salty although it was a touch spicy. There was good umami, possibly from seared soy sauce. Hot singapore chow fun with curry: Not exactly my favorite preparation but the BBQ pork was very nice in this and the overall mix of ingredients was enjoyable. This didn't really have the same wok hay as the other dishes, depending too much on the curry for flavor. Mandarin style pork chop: Nice and crisp with fatty pork. The sauce was nice and light, not too sweet nor sour but the sweetness definitely dominated (almost like seared honey). The meat was deep fried but not overly oily. One of the best versions of this dish I've had in the suburbs. Stuffed tofu: Super soft and tender tofu which was nicely fried then braised. The shrimp patty was very flavorful and had a good "bounce" to it. Overall, a very pleasant mouthfeel. Roast pork: Marinated nicely with a crisp, although slightly tough skin. The meat was a little on the lean side though. Roast duck: Juicy and oily at the same time with the right amount of five spice powder. When served fresh, the skin is nice and crispy, similar to Peking duck. Not perfect, but one of the better preparations you'll find outside of Chinatown. Young zhou fried fried: Doesn't look pretty but this dish infused wok hay very nicely. The egg flavor is seared into the rice nicely, which surprisingly isn't that dry. The BBQ pork is nicer than normal as they make this themselves. Overall, done well as this doesn't depend on soy sauce at all for wok hay, but would've liked to see green peas, chicken, carrots, sesame oil, and other elements to really elevate this dish. Beef with bean sprout chow fun: One of the best versions I've had of this dish out in the suburbs. The chow fun is fresh and tender but pan fried to where the edges are slightly crispy. Surprisingly, it is supposed to be "gone chow" or cooked dry but the dish is surprisingly moist with the amount of bean sprout in it. Even with the infusion of a light amount of soy sauce, the noodles still remain crisp and delicious with tender beef. Highly recommended! Unfortunately, I have to let Yelpers in on this hidden gem. Other less-known restaurants that I have written extensive reviews on ended up filling up to the point where I can no longer get a table easily for myself and sometimes get so busy that quality suffers a bit. A little wait for food in the future is worth it though to inform others about the excellent Hong Kong style cuisine available in a completely unexpected location here. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for Cantonese cuisine in the Chicago suburbs. read more

I absolutely adore the owners of this restaurant as well as the quality of their food. I'm admittedly a restaurant nightmare, as I'm SUPER picky with ordering Chinese, making tons of order alterations and adding special instructions. They are ALWAYS so accommodating! I have a penchant for ridiculously spicy food, and this place is the ONLY restaurant who fulfills my "Mongolian Beef EXTRA, EXTRA, EXTRA spicy" request without sacrificing taste. Their Mongolian Beef is so tender and savory! I just tried their Stir-Fried Green Beans, and they were the best I've ever had. It's not just their food that keeps me coming back though. The owners are so kind, remember my complicated orders every time, and know my name solely based on my order. Support this small business; I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

This place is literally so good Me and my friends split the lunch special because the portions are so big I recommend the crab rangoons they're delish read more

I love this place! It is our go-to restaurant when we get that craving for good Chinese food. The owner is so sweet. We have been ordering take-out there for years and are so glad to have great food so close to us. I just started out my staycation with an awesome dinner and was so pleased I thought I'd write a review. Some of our favorites are the Singapore rice noodles, salt and pepper squid, shrimp egg foo young, and house special fried rice, egg drop soup, egg rolls, and crab Rangoon. So great! read more

Greatest hot and sour soup! Keep up the great work. It's amazing. Thank you service is always good too

Such a hidden gem!!!! All of their menu items are so delicious. Ive tried many other chinese places, but oriental taste is my favorite. Especially love their mongolian beef and sesame chicken. read more

I have tried all the Chinese food within a 20 mile radius after my old Chinese restaurant closed after the owners retired after 18 years. Oriental Taste is the best Chinese food I've ever had! I've eaten Chi-Tung in Evergreen Park and this place blows everyone away! A+++ read more

Pretty solid place! I'm pretty limited on what I'm available to eat due to allergies, but they were willing to work with me and eliminate some ingredients to make things happen. I love Singapore style rice noodles. They did this without shrimp, and without soy sauce. While my favorite Singapore style rice noodles are at Monterrey Palace in Monterrey Park, CA these were still very tasty and had all the right flavor. It's taken us a while to find decide Chinese places to eat at in the area, but this one is definitely on our list. They even have a significant offering of congee! read more

The best fast Americanized Chinese food in the area. Hands down. Nothing disappoints.

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the area. I get their satay beef and general tso's chicken all the time. I highly recommend them. They are take out only these days. read more

This is a very good takeout place! The portions are large and the food is DELICIOUS! We were in a hurry, so we chose to dine in, and it was a rather small place, but it served the purpose. A big thing for me and my partner is spice level: he likes it level 3/5 spicy, I like it -3/5. This restaurant did a great job tuning down the spice in my dishes even though they were supposed to be on the spicy side. However, my partner says if you like things spicier, you can go up a level and ask for a bit more spice than you'd usually get. Can't wait to come back for more!! read more

Super nice little Chinese restaurant. They make great Chinese food with reasonable price tag. And nice portion as well. We have been ordered food form this place for past two years and never been disappointed. I would recommend Tofu, won-ton soup, and fried fish. The cashier handles carry out order, waits on the table, and collects the money. So do expect a little lag time if you want to dine in there. I never had any problem with carry out orders. read more

Love this place! The restaurant is simple with a few tables but I've only ever ordered carry out. The only issue I've ever had was calling in one night & they were out of pork. No biggie, the chicken was just as good. I've tried a few items on the menu but always return to my favorites. They are all delicious! Their old menu used to state that the could make items without MSG, salt, or sugar. They've since removed that but are still happy & willing to remove those items. The owner is very sweet on the phone & in person. Unlike other places, she never gives attitude when you want to use the freebie coupons included on the menu. One of my favorites is the sweet & sour dish (pork or chicken). The batter is perfectly fried & the meat is never dried out. Unlike most places, they keep the meat & sauce separate for you so your meal doesn't get soggy. Another favorite, the seafood chow mein. My only gripe: I wish they would extend their delivery radius so I could be full-on lazy & have their delicious food delivered straight to my door. read more

Yeah! I found my regular Chinese Take out. Small and hidden in a strip mall, as a rule these places offer some of the best take out, and this is no exception. I am a regular consumer of Americanized Chinese dishes such as the Mongolian beef, Kung Pao chicken and fried rice and this restaurant has yet to let me down (skip the egg rolls, they are just filler anyway). The owners are pleasant and the food is great! Give this place a try. read more

Just found this place. Passed by many times and never saw it. Lunch specials are inexpensive with larger than expected portions. So far had the orange chicken which was OK and general chicken which was very good. I plan to go down the lunch menu and try most of the items. read more

Our go to Chinese food! They have the best congee, roasted pork, and chow fun ever!! Portion from this place are huge!! Love their tofu dish as well, the tofu is nothing you have tried at others place, it is very soft and tasty! read more

Darn good Asian food without the headache. I've had a few dishes here but always go back to chow mein. It's very good for the suburbs. Best part: the chili oil had a kick! Most places have it but it's mild. Service was friendly but not very attentive. I wanted my bill and had to walk up to the counter and ask for it from the woman who was obviously on a personal call. That's fine but I don't want to wait for 30 minutes to get my check. I would def do takeout from here but think twice about eating in. read more

Best congee in the suburb. Get the preserved egg with lean pork congee. Also known for their braised duck. Ignore the lack of decor and the uninspired decor to find truly authentic Chinese dishes. Of course, since they're located in a small strip mall, there will be plenty of American-chinese food for those of that fancy. read more

When the first time I went tothis restaurant, I was like..hmm....its that a carry out order restaurant? But well., actually they have dine in too, just they don't have a very nice atmosphere, dine in just like you eating at a carry out restaurant....so don not expecting they have a nice decor, but you will be surprise that they can made a very good food, I would say they have many different kind of Cantonese style food, it's authentic too!! The owner made their roasted pig, BBQ pork, cantonese style chicken..roasted pig is excellent, even better than the one from china town! Also, you will be surprise they even have cantonese style wonton noodles, so many authentic chinese dishes, Congee, rice plate...and it's not pricey at all. Last time I had their Pe Pa tofu, it was so yummy, very authentic and its like a home make Cantonese style food! The owner is extremely friendly, honestly it's very hard to find a quality Chinese food in suburb, even in Chinatown. If you wanna try some real Chinese food, give a chance for yourself to try this place! read more

My family of 6 has been sitting here for over half an hour, and we have yet to be served. People have come in for carry out and we have been completely ignored. When I went up to ask the staff to take our order, she finally came around. We asked if we could get a discount that is featured on the menu, and she said it was only for take out. She was completely unwilling to give a small discount to us even though she kept us waiting. Sometimes, you can forgive bad service for good food, but we will not be returning. The woman here was defensive and rude. She never offered a reason for the lack of service. We put in a take out order and will be eating their food for the last time. Edit 1: An hour and a half after we arrived to the restaurant, we are home, have our food, and noticed we were not given rice. COME ON. Edit 2: We did not receive the fish portion of a fish and green beans dish. Edit 3: We ordered eggplant, chicken, and salted fish. We recieved eggplant and fish (the wrong dish). read more

I love going here with my mom because she orders in Chinese (i really think the food is better when she orders it)! From what she tells me (bc I can't understand), the lady who owns the place came to the suburbs from Chinatown because of competition. They have so many amazing authentic dishes, good prices and large portions. I only wish they had those long fried dough!!! If you're in Willowbrook looking for authentic Cantonese food, this is some of the best I've found outside of Vancouver or Hong Kong. Also, the owner is the sweetest lady ever. And the plastic pork display. read more

Food is always so fresh and deliciously prepared! Best place for the fried shrimp and any dish really. They know how to be consistent in the quality and service and they are very nice. Seems like business is family owned and they do a great job! By far best Chinese food in the area. read more

Really?! I'm the first to review? My Elite Yelper friend missed this one?! I get carry out from this place almost every week! Very authentic Chinese food, with super nice service! We usually get the crispy fish (kids favorite, there has been flights over this dish!), string bean, beef with Tofu, Yangzhou fried rice. If you are brave, try the century egg congee, that's my favorite. For 2.95 or 3.95 you can get an order of wonton soup containing 6 wontons stuffed with large shrimp and ground pork. They also have very authentic chinese style BBQ items such as BBQ chicken, duck and pork. For orders over 25 you can ask for a free small order of chicken fried rice, another fave of my kids. Oh please allow me to explain the rating, I would've given this a 4.5. Only reason not a 5 is the dine-in area is clean, nice in summer but in the winter would get cold since the door opens right into the dining room. read more

I love this place! I live down the street and I have been going for years! Their sesame chicken and pot stickers are my favorite and the staff are wonderful! Everyone is very friendly, portions are good, prices are good, place is clean; just an awesome family owned place. They have great lunch and dinner specials, and the best part is when they say 15 minutes they really mean 15 minutes. I've never had to wait for my food and it always tastes as delicious as the time before. Highly recommend this place for your casual take out night or if your looking to have a quick meal out. read more
