The food has been great here for at least over 5 years! My son and I have never had a bad meal!

I ordered beef chop suey and beef and snow peas, pork eggrolls, beef fried rice plus beef egg foo young. All vegetables were fresh and not over cooked beef tasted wonderful . It was probably the best I have had in a long time. Owner was very friendly

The absolute best Jajangmeon. The BEST! The other dishes I've tried are so good. I've not had Chinese food this delicious since I lived in the city. I, personally, like the atmosphere, because it's just a small shop with 3 tables and feels homey; like it might in a Chinese neighborhood place.

I'm going to start out by saying "Tang's sucks!" Now that that's out of the way.... This place is awesome! My wife and I just moved to Gurnee from the Chicago-land area, about a month ago and we were hard pressed to find a good Chinese restaurant and we are happy that we came upon this place! I'd like to consider myself a pioneer of the pallet when it comes to Chinese food and this place hits the mark! The food is nice and fresh and the prices are exceptionally reasonable including portions. I recommend anybody order from this place post haste!!;

As far as Chinese places go, I'm giving them a 5 star review based on price mostly, but also quality. This place is less expensive than panda express and their food is 1,000 times better. When it comes to carry out Chinese places, you're only going to get so much. This place for what it is, is the best bang for your buck

Ordered late because I had work. Few places offer combos at night and I love this place now because they offer a small meal for 10. Amazing pricing Woman was friendly and smiled even though she was the only one on the line at the moment. I had just seen the other person go to the bathroom. Food is awesome.

The food is great. We've been coming here since just before Covid, and I have never been disappointed with the service and food. My recent favorite is the Shrimp Egg Foo Young. Small tiny place and maybe 2 tables if you want to dine in. We always get food "to go".
