    Crispy pork belly, chopped and to serve!
    Ryan R.

    This is a place of authenticity and no frills. If you are looking for customer service and ambiance, then this is not for you. If you are in search of amazing duck and crispy pork. Then this is your spot. They also do amazing dumplings, pigs feet, etc. A little bit of everything for everyone.

    Poon Choi, combination seafood pot with the finest ingredients

    There's always a long line here, and when you see a long queue at a chinese place, you know it's legit. I always come here to buy the BBQ pork or roast duck. Quick delicious dinner dish! For Chinese New Year, they sell a special dish called Poon Choi, which a combination seafood pot with the finest ingredients. Didn't order one but it looks so good!

    Finally, a Chinese BBQ restaurant in the western suburbs of Chicago! Now instead of making the trek all the way to Chinatown, I can just stop by the Aurora Park to Shop food court and go to Ah Yin. I usually get the two item combination plate, which lets you choose two different bbq options, along with a side of rice, broccoli -- all drizzled with their sweet soy sauce. The sauce is just a tad too salty in my opinion, but the juicy char siu bbq pork and roast duck make for a satisfying, savory, and decadent meal. They sometimes skimp on giving meaty portions of the roast duck and instead give the bony portions instead, so that's a hit and miss unfortunately, but the yummy flavors of the meats still make it worth coming back for more!

    A fairly bare bones Chinese BBQ booth in the Park to Shop lobby that seemed like it recently opened. All that matters to me is the duck is delicious and plentiful and I don't have to go all the way into the city anymore!

    2/3 of the BBQ combination plates is filled with rice - meats (duck, chicken, pork belly) are just okay. Cold Noodle (Liang Pi) is also just okay. $22.66 after tax ... a bit pricey

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.

I ordered the…read morebroccoli dinner special something I've had many times before and noticed the takeout container was smaller than usual. 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.

He order the beef and rice with broccoli and the meat was COLD and very hard the chew. The only thing that he liked was the rice which was hot. He love the beef won tons because of the spicy chile. It was so upset that the soup had no flavor I put so much salt and also a pack of soy sauce which I never put soy sauce on anything I even Added the chile it look Like the cook took a bucket full of dirty wash water and served it to me the noodle had no flavor. The server was always on her phone. I asked her so many times to removed the dirty plates from the table and she completely ignored us. The ambiance was empty just a few orders to go. I feel SAD that I took an hour drive to be so disappointed at the horrible tasting food and also the bad service

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 have been going to this restaurant since I was a young young kid in the late 90's probably close…read moreto win they first opened, and 1 thing I can always count on: excellence. extreme excellence. the food is ALWAYS the absolute best, and I have ordered many options. 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. Literally 3 decades of going to this restaurant, and it STILL hits every time. Thank you.

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.
