Sweet and Sour Chicken was horrible. Can't believe they served food that bad. Chicken was so overcooked it was dehydrated. When I called to complain they hung up on me. Terrible business. read more

OMG! Ye's Chinese Restaurant in Carol Stream has the absolute worst food! Sweet and Sour Chicken was so dry, it was inedible! Even my dog hacked on it. Fried rice was salty as hell with over cooked bits of meat in it. YUCK! Never order their overpriced crap again! And 1 star is only because I have to on this site. NO STARS IS WHAT I SAY! My husband called to talk with the manager, was given to a phone order-taker and then when he asked again for a manage, he voiced his complaint and was hung up on! Wow! read more

Guy working the phone is a complete jag. Why spend money when he can't even be kind to you. Things are expensive go where your respected, and your money is respected. We have been coming here for over 10+ years never been like this. read more

We've been looking for a new place since we haven't been happy with our local place. A friend recommended Ye's. We placed our order online and went to pickup. The food was delicious, but my only complaint was that we did order a main dish, and was expecting a side of white rice with it, tho we did not receive rice. Also, the fried rice really didn't have much veggies in it. Looked like rice and soy sauce, and in our case, shrimp. All in all, good food for the price. And we may order again. read more

It's basically a takeout place. The food is good, they process orders quickly, and the prices are fair. I've encountered friendly staff each time I've been there. read more

I was not impressed with the food. The potstickers are ginormous so that was surprising and I like that the food didn't seem very greasy. Other than that. It was just OK Chinese food to me. Service was good and it's just a takeout place so no seating available. read more

Food and especially portion sizes are excellent! You get so much for the price! My family and I usually order by calling out food in and picking it up, and we've never had a problem with the service. Their fried rice is very flavorful. read more

Decided to check it out. Got the Mongolian beef combo for two and shrimp fried rice. The Mongolian beef was horrible. Some of the worst beef I've ever tried. No peppers and gravy tasted like pure water. Beef had no flavor and too chewy. Combo for two was terrible. Every piece of chicken was not only cold but very under seasoned. Chicken wings still had pink in the middle of meat with no flavor in breading at all. Chicken skewers and beef skewers were so dry, I couldn't even eat them. Very disappointed in this place. Some of the worst Chinese takeout I've had in years read more

If I could give NEGATIVE stars, I would. I ordered from them at about 6:45pm today through DoorDash. My order was shown as "confirmed" and in process. My order was supposed to arrive between 8:10 - 8:30pm. At 8:32pm, I get a call from my Dash saying Ye's canceled my order. I called Ye's and the kid on the phone says "Oh yeah, we had a surge of orders and ran out of a lot of items so we had to cancel your order." They never called me to offer a replacement or to even INFORM me of this or ANYTHING. No customer service or even an apology. I asked why no one bothered to call me when the order first came in that they didnt have the items and the guy on the phone says "Well I'm new here and I can put you on the phone with management." Again, no apology. I told him that at this point, I was just going to leave a poor review and the guy on the phone had a smile in his voice as he says "Oh, you're going to leave a bad review?" I sure am. I will NEVER EVER order from this place. I would rather starve to death and I will make sure that anyone I know/speak with/associate with dont either. Thanks Ye's! read more

The place is not my usual Chinese food place, but from time time I go back to see if it's changed. Sesame chicken, general tso's, and crab Rangoons. The fried rice is the way I like it and the general tso is ok. The crab Rangoons are more shell then cheese, didn't see or taste crab. The sesame chicken is a little thicker and darker then I like and won't get again. Just Ok. read more

We wanted to try the restaurant because of the Grubhub rating. The food was terrible. The edamame was bad and I think it was old & spoiled. The Sweet & Sour was all liquid with a few pieces of pineapple & peppers. We ended up throwing everything in the garbage. We will not read more

First time here and it seems like there more interested in the gambling section of the restaurant or carry out I should say. They have a big restaurant but they mostly have gambling machines. The logo of the place also is more into the gambling nothing reaching out for a Chinese restaurant. I would have never known it was there if I would have never used yelp and search Chinese food. I walked in with my family to find out they only have one table. We ordered bbq fried rice, egg rolls, Mongolian chicken, kung pao chicken, sesame beef, sesame chicken and some tofu dish. The price is reasonable not expensive. The quantity of food is good for the price. The taste of the egg rolls and fried rice was really good. The Mongolian chicken was not to bad but the rest of the food wasn't to good. The sesame beef and chicken had a different color than I ever had and the beef was rubbery. The tofu dish my wife said it was okay. The staff were super nice and the place is clean. I would recommend maybe for a lunch special if you forgot your lunch but I wasn't a fan. read more

fantastic Chinese food for at least 10 years. A lot of food for the price. Very friendly and attentive staff.

The food is absolutely amazing. I think they have the best egg rolls that I ever had. The people are also so nice there. I was there tonight and they had a few people waiting, just a busy night, but the food was worth the wait. We been going there years and we will keep going back. read more

Placed an order online just like I have serval times before. After waiting for over an hour for delivery found out they canceled my order by email. Nothing in the order process indicated they would phone verify the order after it was placed and since they were directed to voice mail, they canceled. The food has not been great and I don't need this nonsense. read more

My family was really craving Chinese food and our local one is gone so we are trying to find a new home for our Chinese take out nights. This place is NOT one of them. The hot and sour soup was gelatinous and sweet. And the texture was no bueno. Orange chicken had no sesame seeds on it but in the pictures it did, the kung pow was not spicy whatsoever And the tofu did not have a good texture and was chewy. The Chinese beef and broccoli chow fun. It had no broccoli. None. And the noodles were suppose to be extra crispy and they were not. Also hardly and beef and it was greasy. Fried rice was bland just like my sisters taste in Music and the white rice was probably the best thing we had that night. This will be our last time here and I do not recommend this place to anyone who can taste. read more

Best chinese in this area,quick great price,flavoring is just perfect.no extra charge for fried rice.you get alot of meat and vegtabels...just love this place read more

The fried rice was good, the Mongolian beef, not so good the texture of the meat was questionable, the taste was off. It tasted more like beef in a brown gravy sauce, no spices, the sesame chicken was really dry, almost stale like . Overall disappointing. read more

This is Ye's Mongolian Beef. More like Mongolian soup. Very watery. Not thick. Very little beef or veggies. Do not get this. read more

Ye's Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

I ordered Ye's tonight for the first time, carry out. Everything I order was excellent, I started with the egg drop soup and could tell right away just by the broth that everything else I ordered was going to be good,I could taste the care. Simple, delicious and prepared well, I recommend. read more

The Egg rolls (that come free with $20+ purchase) were delicious. I took away a star just because my chop suey and my bf's Mongolian beef had too much gravy. (Don't get me wrong, I like gravy but the dish had almost too much). I would still recommend this place. read more

Ye's Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

We typically order from Ye's when we have a taste for Chinese food. The dishes are usually so flavorful and good! The last few times, it hasn't been the same. We ordered last week and everything was soggy, greasy, and had no taste. We ordered potstickers, and I've never had potstickers like these before. They had a thick, doughy texture with hardly any filling. Wish I took pictures to include. The chicken and broccoli dish and the wonton soup had zero taste. Disappointing after spending $50. read more

Ye's is our go to Chinese place! The portions are HUGE! And the food is pretty good quality. I am going to be honest, it is very delicious and me and my family love it. Orange chicken, crab Rangoon, fried rice is delicious! BUT there have been a couple times after we have eaten it that the bathrooms in our house are FULLY OCCUPIED. read more

Love their food. Have been ordering fron them for over 20 years. The only complaint is they do not give you orange sauce with the egg rolls anymore. That's disappointing. read more

The teriyaki chicken I ordered did not look like the picture (not all that surprising), it was heavily sauced. The meat eggrolls were solid. The pot stickers had a lot of onions in the pork which I did not care for, but the dough and the sauce were very good. Maybe next time I'll try the chicken dumplings (which come deep fried) if they do not have all the onions. Will also try something more of bellwether for me at a place like this, fried rice or sweet & sour chicken, and then decide if this place will remain in the rotation. read more

Delicious food every time. I'm a sucker for their fried rice. Best in the area. A++++++

Not too far from my place of work on Army Trail Road sits a place called Ye's Chinese Restaurant. Noticing that they were within a close enough distance to stop and retrieve food from at lunchtime, I decided it would be worth having a co-worker stop by here and pick up lunch. From Ye's I ordered General Tao's chicken. The chicken I received came with a thick lathered on sauce. Despite being listed as spicy on their menu there was very little kick to this chicken. The sauce included with it tasted more luck the soy sauce used for duck at other restaurants than the type of sauce used for any variation of a "General's" chicken. This wasn't necessarily a bad flavor, but it didn't match as well with the chicken as you might hope. The actual pieces of chicken varied a bit in quality from ones that were too cripsy or almost no breading. My chicken did come with fried rice, and the rice was definitely better than the chicken. It was brown fried rice with a variety of other things added, including apparently pieces of white meat chicken as well. If I were ever to order from Ye's again, I'd just do the rice and skip any sort of meat entree. While this isn't the best fried rice I've ever had it salvaged the meal so to speak from being awful to at least being filling. I also sampled some pot stickers here and found them to be strange in texture and not particularly tasty. My overall opinion of Ye's is that it's a good place for fried rice, but that I wouldn't want to gamble on ordering an entree here again. In general, if it comes up again I'm likely to "just say no to Ye's" (that pun would work better without the apostrophe). I'm going to give it two stars, while it's better than either nearby Twin or Stone Dragon, I still found it to be overall below average. read more

Ye's Chinese Restaurant - general tao chicken - Chinese Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

3.5 stars. Can't speak for their Americanized Chinese food since I've had none...I like the more authentic Cantonese style food they serve. I went in the first time to get an avocado smoothie based on some good reviews about their smoothies. I was a little reluctant to try the food because it's a small take-out place with no dining area located in a quiet suburban strip mall. After watching a guy behind the counter make the smoothie with care, I knew I would return for the food. So I did and will continue to do so. The black pepper beef was awesome. The $2 wonton soup was better than the $6 wonton soup I had in some fancy sit-down Chinese Japanese fusion restaurant nearby. Pot stickers were tasty but a little greasy. The salt and pepper tofu sounded promising but turned out pretty awful. The made-to-order fried minced pork dumplings (Ham Sui Gok) were quite authentic. I was told Shu Mai and Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow) are also made to order by a former dim sum chef working in their kitchen. Most customers don't know about these dim sum items or don't think about ordering them so they don't sell much. Expect a prep time of 20-25 minutes for these so call ahead. Ricky, the owner (I think?) will go above and beyond for his customers. If they don't do some "classic" Americanized Chinese food right as a few reviews pointed out, it's probably because that's not what they cooked in their past lives, or what they would normally cook for themselves. read more

Ye's Chinese Restaurant - Tiny place, takeout only. - Chinese Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

After reading a number of good reviews, I ventured off the standard Chinese restaurant and decided to order takeout from Ye's last Saturday. Everyone else and their mother decided to order from here as well. Girl on the phone told me 15-20 minutes so I ordered, got dressed and headed over. I sat and waited....waited and waited. It was likely closer to 35 minutes when I received the meal. Not a huge deal, but certainly an annoyance. (When I arrived, they were telling people 40 minutes to pickup on the phone) The order was wonton soup, general tao's, sweet and sour chicken, beef lo mein, pork fried rice and crab rangoons to sample quite a few different things. Note: sweet and sour chicken was free with order. Look at their website. Wonton Soup was the highlight. It was flavorful and full of wontons. Definite good stuff. Crab Rangoon were more dough than stuffing. The stuffing was very muted and not great. General Tao's - too gingery for me. Beef Lo Mein - Not very flavorful Pork Fried Rice - Good offering - definite order again. Sweet and Sour Chicken - Flavor was fine, just not my personal favorite. Overall, I likely will not order from here again - maybe YMMV. The prices were lower than my normal place. read more

Food is ok- service is terrible. They have two tables now. They opened a gambling parlor and it's annoying. The people who work there used the other two tables for all their crap and for cleaning snow peas. My friend and I waited to sit and the guy didn't get up or move. So rude. Don't plan on going back. You'd think they would make room for customers who want to sit and eat. read more

Ye's Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

I've been coming here for some time but unfortunately am expierencing a decline in quality and service. One of the most frustrating, and inconsistent issues is their unfamiliarity with the coupons on thier printed menu, vs the discounts and offers on the online ordering system. They are willing to argue with the customer over a non-extent online coupon, or thier instence it's in the printed menu, when it is not. Or instructing one to print them out when it's not an online option. I wouldn't even know the online deal existed it they hadn't told me. Then they ask for a coupon that isn't there. Two of my last three orders were incorrect. Wrong or missing food. Or the inconsistent condiment extravaganza. Either 4 times what a person would need or missing half the items you want. The food (when correct) is generally good. But frankly, the recent attitudes are something I could do without. read more

I don't get all the bad reviews?! I just had this place's food for the first time and thought it was all really decent for the price! We got orange chicken, general tso chicken, cashew chicken, chicken fried rice, egg rolls, and chicken lo mein...the general tso chicken was a little on the salty side but everything else was good! especially the chicken fried rice. I didn't try the lo mein or cashew chicken but everyone agreed we all liked it. The owner/manager (not sure?) was very nice and let me use a coupon then told me to keep it to use again next time (I picked up so not sure how delivery is). I didn't even realize you could order online but will try that next time! read more

My normal go-to Chinese place closed due to a fire, so I've been trying new ones. This one has been the best so far. Food arrived hot, packaged neatly, and had enough extra condiment. Will continue to eat here. read more

We ordered from here tonight for the first time. We got sesame chicken, chicken fried rice, potstickers, and egg rolls. The egg roll was hot and crisp, the potstickers were hot, doughy and full of flavorful pork mixture. Chicken fried rice was a little dry but the chicken was tender. The sesame chicken was good, tender and crispy under the delicious sauce! We will order from them again! read more

This place has the most flavorless nasty chicken fried rice I have ever had. It makes the fried rice at Panda Express taste good by comparison, and that's hard to do. I also got sick eating the egg foo young from this place. I should sue this place for assaulting my taste buds and my stomach. Horrible 0/10 read more

Not the best Chinese I've ever had, but pretty good and reasonably priced. The portions are huge! I also like that they repeat your order back for accuracy. Vegetable eggrolls: yummy, strong flavor of peanut butter which I like Regular eggrolls: pass Sesame chicken: ok, but probably wouldn't order again Kung Pao chicken: not really spicy, but very good nonetheless. My favorite dish so far. Would request no mushrooms in the future, however Plain fried rice: pretty good, but could do without the bean sprouts I'll be back to try other dishes. read more

Order uber eats. Food delivered smells rancid.called store they said it the new sauce, one peice of chicken it is not the sauce .it was under cooked and expired. This is awful I have spent the evening praying to any God I can think of for mercy,none given. Heading to urgent care. Oh and uber eats said this is a quality issue they can't help, if I survive I will call the health department and bank for a charge back. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.Do not order here. read more

I love Ye's. Food is excellent and the service is spectacular. Have used their delivery service many times. A+++ read more

I got the mongolian beef lunch special with fried rice. The fried rice was alright at best. Diamond Garden used to make better back when it was open. The egg roll was fried well and had a good crunch and flavor. Unfortunately, the mongolian beef tasted awful. It looked like they emptied the contents of some campbell's chunky soup and threw some chopped green onions in it. It is by far the worst I have ever had. 2 stars for the good egg roll and mediocre fried rice. read more
