I love sweet and sour sauce for my fried rice and they kept taking it away lol . They thought they were clearing my spot! I guess I'm odd.

The food is authentic and it's classy and relaxing no matter where you prefer. It's where you want to drive and what to do after, Yum

I ordered enough for two, which means I would have something for the next two meals. The restaurant has been around for a while, and it is a stand alone building. The menu, like what you will find in Malaysia - a mixed of Chinese, Malay, and Indian. The service is always prompt. Here's what I ordered: 1) Roti Canai served with Malaysian chicken curry - the curry is unlike Indian curry. This is a typical Malaysian style curry. You take a piece of the crispy yet a little chewy pan fried dough and dipped in this curry broth. That combination will kick off your appetite. 2) Seafood and Tofu clay pot - a mix of fish fillet, squid, shrimp, vegetables and homemade tofu served in a clay pot. The tofu is delicious - crispy outside with soft and silky center - chef's kiss! 3) String bean mixed with balacan - balacan is a Malaysian sambal sauce made with shrimp paste and chili. It has this savory, sweet and lightly spicy flavor mixed with crispy string beans. It was a delightful dinner! There are many other dishes that I'll come back for, especially other dishes with their homemade tofu.

I'm glad to see Penang is still around, the staff are so nice and attentive.

Hong Kong Restaurant for a good Chinese dinner win! I've had such a craving for fried rice and my…read morehusband wanted General Tso's chicken. It's been a tough lately since our go to place changed ownership and the quality declined. Hong Kong Restaurant is a small, family owned restaurant in the same strip mall as the Ace Hardware. It's a take out only restaurant, no tables and no seating. The lady is so nice. I called ahead asking how her General Tso's was made with brown sauce or if it was an orange type of sauce. She gave me a good description and mentioning it had some spice to it, but not offensive. It was exactly what my husband wanted. It wasn't overly breaded and the sauce was sweeter, savory with a little heat. He was a happy man. The fried rice had plenty of chicken and cooked well. The portions were huge! I also ordered beef and broccoli Cantonese chow mein. This was delicious! There was so much beef and broccoli, the sauce wasn't salty and went perfect with the chow mein noodles. We ordered egg rolls and crab rangoons too. Both we were good. The wrapper was a little thicker than I prefer, but they were both good. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes on their menu like their egg foo yung. No pics ... hungry teenaged boys dove into the food right away.

For several years now, we have been looking for a new Chinese food place , since our favorite place (South China) closed. I have tried several other places, but we have not been very happy with the food. Last night we had the BBQ pork egg foo young and kung pao beef. Both dishes were tasty. We also ordered some Pot Stickers, which were tasty but were HUGE and the dough, I felt , was too thick. This might be just a personal preference. Overall I thought it was a great experience. The food portions were large and the cost was in line with what you would expect. The food was ready on time and was piping hot. I will definitely be coming back to Hong Kong Restaurant.

Very nice restaurant with great ambiance, service and food…read more This is an authentic Asian restaurant, not at all what we were expecting. We thought it would be "American" Chinese food. I ordered the vegan eggplant with garlic sauce, expecting a white garlic sauce. Well, this was just eggplant soaked in chili oil. As I have aged, I cannot eat much oil or fried food anymore, so this was a loss. The chili pepper was just the mouth numbing Szechwan Peppercorn, which I have never enjoyed at any age. My husband got the combination Lo Mein, and absolutely loved it. He also got the scallion pancake appetizer which he found to be delicious. We will probably return for me to try the green beans or the tofu. Absolutely have only great things to say about Asian Bistro!

Chopsticks is a hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant located in a strip mall on Central Road in…read moreRolling Meadows. I live in Chicago, but I've gone here several times to buy Chinese food for my parents who live about a mile away. Inside, there are a few chairs, and maybe a table. The kitchen and where you order is behind a counter and glass wall. There is nothing fancy about it, but Chopstick is meant to be a carry-out restaurant, so it's not a problem. They prefer cash but will take a credit card and charge 3-percent extra. That said, the entrees are bargain-priced and are served in generous portions. I recently ordered food for myself and a neighbor on a busy Father's Day. I did not order ahead, but it only took 15 minutes to prepare my order. I requested no MSG, and I was told that they do not use any--so that's a big plus for anyone who wants to avoid it. They have all the usual Chinese-American favorites, including their house special that has shrimp, chicken and beef. But the ingredients they use are fresh and high-quality--and that sets them apart from most carry-out restaurants of this type. My only complaint was that of my two orders, they mixed up the entrees--my neighbor was supposed to get the house special, and my husband was supposed to get the chicken and vegetable dish. But even though the entrees were mixed up, everyone was happy with what they received. If I lived closer, Chopsticks (cute name) would be my go-to Chinese-American restaurant. Here's to the lucky Rolling Meadows and Arlington Heights residents who live near it.

We tried a mix across the menu, and what stood out right away was how many dishes can be made vegan, which makes it a great option for vegetarians or mixed groups. A few must-tries for me: * The Thai wrap -- DIY style and easily one of the more fun dishes on the menu * Red curry * Curry fried rice * Basil dish The papaya salad was also really well done and worth ordering. Portions here are generous -- most mains are easily enough for two people, so it works really well if you're sharing across the table. For the amount of food you're getting, pricing felt very reasonable (around $20-30 per person when sharing), which makes it a strong value spot in the suburbs. It's also on Resy, so if you have an Amex Platinum or Gold card, you can use your dining credit here. Overall, a solid pick if you're looking for flavorful Thai food with good portions and plenty of vegetarian-friendly options in the Arlington Heights area.

Madurai Kitchen is a good restaurant to grab quality South Indian food. They have a good variety on…read moretheir menu, and the food is freshly prepared. On my recent first visit, I found the restaurant to be inviting and having a nice ambiance. It was clean and well lit. My party and I had a late dinner. We received good service. We were seated promptly upon arrival. We were served water right away. One of the staff members informed us to scan a QR code to get the menu of the restaurant and place our order from our mobile device directly. We ordered South Indian dishes such as dosas and uttapam. Dosas, for those who may not be familiar, are like savory crepes made from rice batter and uttapam are like savory pancakes made from rice and urad dal (an Indian grain) batter. The uttapams my party ordered were of the onion and chilies kind and came with dipping sides of sambar (lentil and veggie stew) and three chutneys (coconut, peanut, and one other kind that I can't remember). The dosas also came with the same sides. My order was different from the others. I ordered Madurai Kitchen's special dosa made with minced mutton (goat) in spices. I was expecting a traditional dosa with mutton stuffed inside, but no. This dish looked like thick uttapam but smelled like dosa, and it came with a side of curry dal as a dipping side instead of sambar and chutneys. I inquired about it, and one of the staff members said that that's how it served. Strange but cool, I guess. I found my dish to be okay in taste. It lacked a bit of salt, and the flavor wasn't quite what I had expected. I had thought that it would be spicy, but it wasn't. I used the chutneys from other members of my party's dishes for an enhanced tasting experience. The rest of the folks in my party liked their dishes a lot. Their dishes were good. Overall, we had a good experience. The menu pricing is on the expensive side (more than I expected), but the food quality and service were good. If you like South Indian food, then this restaurant is definitely worth checking out. I will be going back to try other menu items.

I especially loved that they had Tindora as part of the buffet; I haven't seen any other Indian restaurants serve that in about 20 years (Gaylord in Schaumburg did, but haven't done so, since then!) Anyway, I had just about every item in their spectacular buffet --I almost ended up napping in my truck afterwards! The service here is spot-on: friendly, professional and attentive! Although they didn't have any soft drinks or juices, they did have a chikoo shake (which I never had before, and ended up really enjoying)! They also have mango lassi shakes too, btw! In addition to the great food and service, the restaurant is clean (as are their bathrooms)! Anyway, I do plan on coming back! Glad I was following them on Facebook!
