The Mongolian beef was the best I've ever had. The orange chicken and shrimp fried rice were delicious as well. I also ordered the chicken wings and rib tips but those were just ok. I usually always order shrimp egg foo Yung when I order Chinese but their pictures showed them with dark gravy and that's a deal breaker for me. Only light brown gravy for me. This was my first visit and I'll be back read more

I am always on the lookout for restaurants that I never have heard of that serve very good food. I didn't have time to eat in, so my review is based on my food that I picked up here. I stopped in midday midweek and discovered a full parking lot with cars constantly coming and going, which is a good sign. Picked up my food and to my surprise I was impressed by the generous portions of food that were in my containers. In a situation like this, I of course ordered way too much food. In order to make a fair assessment I ordered a cross section of food from their pan Asian menu which includes Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai. I had the teriyaki chicken lunch special, pad Thai with shrimp lunch special, and pork ramen. The lunch specials also included Chinese egg rolls and two coca colas. None of them where the best I have had, but they were pretty darn good enough and satisfying enough, that I can designate them a great bargain. In all honesty each order was enough for 3 to 4 people. I didn't have to cook lunch or dinner for the next few days! If you are, or are not, on a tight food budget I do recommend a stop in here for a great value meal. read more

I always get the EDM roll without eel sauce. It's delicious every time. The servers have always been kind to me. read more

Blue Island Seafood - EDM roll, no eel sauce - Seafood Near Me - Blue Island, Illinois

I live in the North suburbs and tried this place when visiting my sister in Riverdale. At that time, online ordering was an option through DoorDash or UberEats. Now, they do their own delivery & they will not deliver 10-12 minutes away (4.9 miles)!!!! I am shocked. Most delivery options will go up to 10 miles. DoorDash or UberEats deliver even further. We were ready to order almost $100 in food but because their driver is lazy or delivery is limited, it's not possible. SMH I remember the food being good so I'll give 2 stars. It would be more if I didn't have to stop working drive or get a ride there to order food. Offering delivery through DoorDash or UberEats would be a great improvement & likely increase restaurant revenue. read more

Wonderful service from start to finish! We tried a little of everything and the flavors were so good and the portions were large enough to have leftovers. Really nice size dining area that was separate from the takeout area that had its own entrance and I thought that was a great design feature because it was nice and quiet on our side. I'm definitely planning on coming back and bringing more people to try some more entrees with me! read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem. I always noticed it but didn't realize it was a sit down restaurant. I had take out from them and dined in. My rating is based off both. I ordered sushi, ramen, and shrimp rolls. The sushi was delicious and more than filling. My daughter had the seafood ramen. I tatsed it and the broth seemed a bit thicker than I'm used to and definitely needed to add salt and pepper to it. It is a decent size on the inside. There's a separate area for take out. The dine in area holds a fair amount of people. You wouldn't think that from the outside. As far as take out I had spicy fried rice and a seafood boil and both were delicious. read more

Blue Island Seafood - Hot & sour soup, no pork or chicken; yes shrimp- outstanding - Seafood Near Me - Blue Island, Illinois

Went here for the first time and was very impressed. We got there at 11:30 am and we were the only ones there. Place was clean and "fancy"- their napkins and table cloth were legit and they had a robot delivering your food. We ordered the lunch specials and they were huge portions! I was very surprised! I had the Mongolian beef, husband had orange chicken and they both came with fried rice, eggroll, and can of pop. We also ordered salt and pepper squid which was really good as well. Their menu has a wide variety and we can't wait to come back to try more. Recommend going to their website to check out the menu because there is just so much to choose from! Staff were very friendly as well! Only thing to be aware of is that they do charge an 18% service fee. We did tip as well but I was just a bit shocked seeing that because I'd usually see that when it's parties of 6 or more and it was just two of us. read more

The food was delicious and the worker actually walked my order with me to my truck! Shrimp toast was one of the best I ever had.

Love the food much I been following the owners since I was a teenage, I can never get sick and tired of there cookin. You can never go wrong here with the portions. see you shortly..., read more

Most of the dishes are good however... do not order the eggdrop soup. It's basically wonton broth with pre broiled egg drops. It does not hold the consistency of an egg drop soup! read more

My family and I came here for dinner last night for a more low key Father's Day and we really enjoyed our experience! We were a little nervous at first because we were the only ones in the restaurant for a bit but the menu was plentiful, the restaurant was clean, and the service was great! They have seafood boil options as well as a wide variety of Chinese, Japanese, and Thai menu options. We ended up getting one of their cooked shrimp and cream cheese rolls, potstickers, shrimp pad thai, orange chicken, walnut shrimp, and lemongrass chicken to split amongst the table. There were 6 of us and we ended up taking home 4 take-away boxes because the servings were so plentiful! Food was served quickly and, while on the heavier and saucier side, all tasted delicious! As a fun surprise, our food was served by a robot on wheels! I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a new option on the South Side. I look forward to going back when visiting my family in the years to come! read more

Pretty good decent customer service pick up time is usually very quick I order all the time

The cashier (short skinny elderly guy) is super rude and yells at customers when they don't understand what he's saying. Unfortunately, that was the case for me. I couldn't understand something he had said and I asked him to repeat it one more time. I had politely asked him, '"I'm sorry what was that again?" And he started yelling on top his lungs repeating everything he had told me and proceeded to yell even louder as he was explaining the menu to me. I was shocked at how he treated me because the place had barely opened (it was still the morning) and he had the audacity to start shouting disrespectfully. If that's how you are going to treat customers all because of a misunderstanding, then how do you expect us to come back? He had no idea he was being super rude to his long time customers. It's a shame because everyone else that is working there are incredible people. Truly, a great disappointment. read more

When B.I. Seafood opened it was a nice addition to the neighborhood, good food, decent prices and nice ambience. However, we've gone a few times over the last few months and I've noticed that they just don't seen to care any longer. Let's start with a lot of the viewable dining and prep areas are filled with boxes and boxes (to the ceiling in some cases) of bulk restaurant supplies. It's like having dinner in a warehouse. Next, the service is just so/so (and hope you don't end up with the little old guy), they don't come and check on food or if you need anything else. Finally a nearly $10 "service fee", for what? We drove here, and received poor service for very average food. Will not be spending our money here again!!! read more

Customer service was horrible and I didn't see where it says gratuity would automatically be added to the bill. I just paid and kept it moving. The food was ok but I should've went with my first mind and went elsewhere where. I do not plan on returning. read more

Blue Island Seafood - Godzilla Roll - Seafood Near Me - Blue Island, Illinois

So many cuisines packed into one menu from Blue Island Seafood. I saw that I can get a bowl of Pho to sushi and Thai. I ordered a shrimp pad thai and a volcano roll. The inside of the dining area was quite spacious and clean. Both dishes did not come out in the same time but was able to try the pad thai first which was saucy and tasted decent, there were plenty of shrimp which I was surprised. The volcano roll came with 8 pieces sliced then and baked with gooey spicy mayo. Overall, the both dishes were around $15 each and was average. Shared parking and seems pretty packed. read more

Quality is consistent and price point is affordable (I think cuz I never pay). Sushi and Chinese is all tasty.

The food was so delicious I had the best meal of my life I could ever have eaten it was so good and so delicious and I had a good time with my family so I am going back read more

I spent $50.00 at the Blue Island Seafood on 126th Western on New Years eve as a take-out. I was very dissatisfied. Has the ownership changed in a year? The Schewcuan beef was tasteless with unedible burnt peppers, I had to throw the whole order of spicy rice away because it was spoiled and the bbq pork was like slices of pork in tomato sauce. This place at one time was the BEST. Saved up for this special treat, never going back. read more

I finally tried this place during covid when you could only order out. I went there specifically to support Asian businesses during the pandemic. I was pleased. Then it seemed less and less pleasing. The sushi seems to be the only thing I have enjoyed consistently. The last time it wasn't really great. I figured it was an off night. Scary thought with sushi. My other family members order Chinese food. It's always mushy and the mushu is HORRIBLE. I am over them. They got order wrong tonight and when I called they said I wasn't charged (and maybe I wasn't but no itemized receipt) and I have only the six-month-old menu to go off of. That being said the prices have gone up 20% or taxes are at 25%. Either way I think I'm over it. Tossed my dinner. read more

I was looking for a place that had pho noodles and I'm glad the distance I traveled wasn't too far! I loved the food choices they had. I've never had Pho Noodles to begin with and it was a great impression because it was delicious! The server was so kind and attentive. The restaurant wasn't packed at all, my family and I came in a Sunday night at around 6pm it was just us and a few other people that came and went but we were still at peace with our dining experience. Our bill came out to be about $91.86 with just a family of 3. We had gotten 2 pho noodle bowls with come crab ragoon a few egg rolls and rice. We definitely would come back! read more

The rare 5 star. I give when quantity, quality, service and price all match and if 2-3 of those are exceptional and would lure me back in. I had the lunch special for $13.99 and it was great. I had the honey shrimp and I would say best I've ever had. Service was fast and friendly, possibly because I beat lunch crowd, and quantity was above average. Part of town looks to be a little iffy, I'm not from here, but inside was clean from what I can tell from my booth. Will come back when in the area. May try the sushi later tonight for dinner - it looked great. read more

Really lovely and clean. The food was very good especially the orange chicken, fried rice, and crab rangoon. The portions are very generous and the service is friendly. We will definitely be back this place should be packed it is worlds above Wu's house and chi tung. I've been looking for good Chinese food on the southside and this is it. The rolls are good too! read more

Had the volcano roll, small combination fried rice and egg roll. Service was pretty good, person at the counter was patient with me when I was ordering because I forgot which roll I wanted. Place was extremely clean and welcoming. The food rice was good but was not impressed with the roll. I asked for my egg rolls to be well done because I like mine crunchy but they wasn't. Overall a decent meal and I would visit again to try other options. read more

I usually call in and they have never disappointed me. I've never had to wait. Quick turnaround to get my food.

Excellent food and service. Looks much specials are well priced. Dining in is exceptionally good.

Food is good. But next time I'm going to dine-in to see if there's any difference besides the standard "Chinese Takeout". Service is average. The dining room area looks very clean. read more

The food was nasty. There was no flavor, lack of seasoning. They high as hell also. I definitely would not recommend.

How and Where to begin an evaluation of what can only be described as a meal of questionable origin, as I still have NO idea what it was, or why it contained what was in it, as its definitely 'nothing' like I've bought in any restaurant in downtown Chicago OR smaller Chinese/Asian restaurant in and around this area. That said: Service and wait time was bad. One person waiting when I arrived, yet it took over 30 mins for a 'bad order.' This place was recommended to me. However, I say to you, really thoink abot this before patronizing them especially so IF you are not familiar with the Country's food. I'd strongly suggest IF you are not, to check Food Critic restaurants, look at those restaurants and what you see and read, then MAYBE try here. I ordered a Shrimp Fried Rice and a Small Shrimp Egg Foo Young. My SHRIMP FRIED RICE had leftover, and very dried pieces of every meat used in the restaurant from earlier or day before. I've NEVER bought a Shrimp Fried Rice NO one would eat. It was made from what I believe to have been bad leftover prepped scrapping's, and NONE of the basics for it. Now, as for the Shrimp Egg Foo Young. The outer part was partially 'black,' inside filled with bean sprouts, peas, carrots, etc. Really not too sure, but again, I have NO idea what it was OR what Country's food this was suppose to be. This was a $20+tax order that had to be tossed and another trip elsewhere and more money spent in order to eat. Hope this helps all who read this. read more

I ordered takeout and was told 20 minutes. I arrived 30 minutes later and the food hadn't even been prepared. After waiting an additional 30 minutes, I wasn't offered an apology, explanation or anything to compensate for the wait. I ordered food for my family and myself. I had the snow crab leg boil with potatoes (plural) and only got one. One potato. Just curious why, if I'm paying market price for crab legs, do I need to pay for add-ons? Most boils include potatoes, corn and broccoli. Anyway, I poured my crab boil into a pan because I thought it was going to be a lot of food. I'm including a photo of my one lb of crab legs and one potato. I won't be back. read more

This is my Chinese food to go place. I've been coming here when it was known as see-through Chinese Kitchen. Everything they fix is tasty and you get plenty of it. They now have where they serve Thai and sushi. For carryout there's not a long wait and it is fresh. They also have lunch specials which is plenty of food it might be a little bit more than some other places but the quality is wonderful and the carryout section is clean and the dining area is calm ing and you can really enjoy your food. I live in Calumet City and there are several other Chinese food restaurants in the area but this one it's worth taking two buses to get to. read more

If you are looking for good old fashioned Chinese foods, this might not meet your goals. However, I found the food delicious and a bit different and I enjoyed it. The appetizer plate was varied and good. The egg foo young was light and airy and the fried rice was good too. I really liked my visit. read more
