    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!

    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.

    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!

    One the best dishes I ever had. Szechwan Spicy Fish Fillets pot. Worth the trip. Order medium spice.

    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 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 portion was clearly reduced but the price stayed the same. This place has always been consistent for me so the change was frustrating. I understand costs go up but smaller portions without any notice isn't great. Has anyone else noticed this or was it just a one off? I'm hoping this isn't a new trend because I've otherwise enjoyed ordering from here.

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.

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.
