    This is their freshly cooked chicken and shrimp fried rice!

    My recent dining experience at Tasty Chef was truly outstanding. The combination fried rice was the most flavorful and authentic I have tasted in over fifteen years, prepared with remarkable attention to detail and a perfect blend of seasonings and sauces. Every bite reflected quality, freshness, and skillful execution. The service was equally impressive. The staff provided attentive, courteous, and professional care throughout my visit, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This restaurant has exceeded my expectations in both cuisine and service. I look forward to returning soon to enjoy another exceptional meal. I am calling my wife now to see if she would like anything for dinner!

    On a busy Saturday, we were on a search for noodles before we did our grocery shopping. We stumbled upon this stand and ordered the beef chow fun and the salt and pepper porkchop. The woman helping us was very nice when taking our order and when she brought it to our table. My kids love the salt and pepper pork chop and asked to get it again in the future. We will be back!

    Restaurant with lunch specials on the right.

    Taste of Chicago Chinatown right in Aurora! Had the salt n pepper lunch special and it was delicious! Tasty Chef lives up to its name! Located inside the Park n Shop Asian grocery store in a food court area with lots of great options.

    This is by far the best Chinese food in the western suburbs. Located in a food court in Park to Shop grocery store, it is a shockingly good place. Salt and pepper octopus is great. The orange chicken actually has real pieces of chicken in it instead of the dedicated chicken you get at most places. Ordering the lunch gives you too much food for one person and is just plain good eats. As a side, there is another place in the food court that sells duck, char sous, soy chicken, etc. right next door. Buy lunch or dinner here and get stuff for tomorrow.

    Love Red Pepper! Disappointed their lease expired and intend to close the business. A great "mom and pop" authentic Chinese pop-up and wish they didn't have to close. Please support small businesses and for those who need help, they are one family that would definitely need another hand in the back with the chef. Thank you Red Pepper for bringing back food memories.

    Recommend you give it a try. Szechuan Spicy Green Beans and fried rice are my favorites.

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.

Lucky Panda is one of the many restaurants in strip malls in this part of town. Has a lot of the common items. There's beef and chicken of course, as well as tofu for healthy options. A lot of customers seem to get carryout. It's got a pretty big dining room if you want to eat inside. There's also a gaming section with a few slots. As for the food it's basic. It's about $14 for an entree. Portions are kind of big though. Has some that are spicy. We got the Kung Pao Tofu. Came with quite a few pieces of tofu in it. Too bad these were kind of burnt and tough. Had a good variety of vegetables including carrots and peas. The meal was pretty okay but they didn't understand we were eating in and they made it to go, so we ate it out of the bag at a table. For sure there's many Chinese restaurants that are much better. It's located in the one strip mall on Eola. There's a few options with tofu for vegans and vegetarians.

The empress chicken and fried rice were really good with generous portions for both as well as a good mixture of shrimp, beef, chicken and pork in the rice. I've had better egg rolls though and wasn't a fan of the sweet and sour dipping sauce that came in a cup with the meal. It was just a little too sweet for my taste. The meal was good overall and the takeout order was prepared really fast. The staff were nice on the phone and when I was picking up my order, but at a cost of $20 I will probably consider going to other places next time I'm in the mood for Chinese takeout.

We ordered take-out on a Saturday night. They said it would take 30-40 minutes to be delivered but it didn't come until over an hour later. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken dinner. The chicken was warm and crispy but only came with one tiny container of sweet and sour sauce which was barely enough for half the chicken. It also came with an egg roll and TON of white rice. Half the platter was rice and it came with another small box of rice on the side. The rice was on the dry side too. We also ordered garden fresh vegetables. I can't say they seemed very fresh though. To me, it was equivalent to the bottom of a bag of frozen vegetables that were microwaved a bit too long.
