This is food for Americans. This is one step up from your Panda Express. Not that I don't like that but you aren't going to see authentic cooking here. This is your standard fare Chinamerican food. I like this. This is what I grew up eating. At least they dont serve egg foo young and chop suey. The lunch specials are a good deal. For 5-6 bucks you geet more food than you can eat, fried rice, egg roll, and a soda. I get the general's chicken. And there is a lot of onions in this food green and white. I have had the noodles here. But I get the fried rice, much better. I have tried many Chinese food places in the area but this is the only one that I have found halfway decent. read more

Eh, this place is okay. I wasn't really wowed and with so many other Chinese places, I don't know if I would go back. I was in a my voice is almost gone and I need soup mood, so I decided to get some hot soup and Chinese. That cures laryngitis right? The soup was fine. Typical egg drop soup. I ordered a rice noodle dish as well. It was mostly onion, which I am not a fan of. I paid for noodles darn it! It was ready insanely fast though, so I guess that is a plus. read more

This is the only Chinese joint in the area that I can stomach. We order here at least once a month and have tried a lot of different things on the menu. Everything is great, except sometimes the egg rolls are sub par. But it's an egg roll...I'd rather just go without. The service is super friendly and the owner always remembers us. The best part is that she calls the husbo "Mr. (his FIRST name)." She usually gives him a free pop because he's a charmer like that. read more

I work close by and we order from her regularly. Great service when ordering the food. They make sure to repeat it to make sure order is correct. Have not had one order wrong yet. We have had it deliver and is always delivered before the time given. Normally between 20 to 30 mins to be delivered. Have also picked up orders from here. Always ready and still nice and hot. The food is better than most Chinese food restaurants. We will continue to order from here on a regular basic and I would recommend it to anyone as well!! read more

This place is what used to be Chens wok , but I have to say their interior is miles and light years better then Chens wok, what they did was simple , but now the place is at least dinable compared to Chens wok, where it was decorated worse than your grandmas basement. Food: I had the chicken lo mein , it was really good but there are two down sides , I have had better for a cheaper price, around the area. But non the less I would go back to try a different meal. I would give two and half stars due to how expensive this place is. read more

China Cook - Chicken lo mein.... Too much soy sauce and a tad bit salty , but still good. - Chinese Near Me - Streamwood, Illinois

Ordered the Four Seasons dish tonight. The shrimp was rotten and the food was ice cold, like it had been refrigerated. I called to complain and to worn them not to serve it to anyone else. They said I needed to go back to the restaurant and bring the food back! Can't you just taste the shrimp you are serving and tell that its rotten??? And refund me over the phone??? Nope..have to go back to get my money and bring the food. Unbelievable!!! Buyer beware...stay far, far, away. read more

First and last time at this spot. Tried 3 dishes, fried rice, egg rolls, & their bubble tea. And that tryout was enough 4 me not to waste my money there again . I have never tasted anything so bland in my life. I didn't even know fried rice had the capabilities of coming out without any taste. I even asked that the food be made with extra spice, and it still was flavorless. And thx 4 the 3 soy sauce packages. Smh while lmao. Bubble tea was good. read more

I ordered Sesame shrimp. Orange chicken. Shrimp egg rolls and crab rangoon. This was by far the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I'll never return. read more

One step up from Panda Express. Got the Seafood Soup. Spent $13, and was not impressed at all. I've had seafood soup everywhere, and this tasted nothing like what other places are serving. Most of their food is super cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for. Except for the soup, ugh. read more

Fast delivery. Good food. Decent price range and menu options. Spoke clear English on the phone. Waaaayyyyy better food than Silver Lake. read more

I have been to the 2nd place of China cook because it was close to my house it was good, but I personally think that this China cook is the best. I love the orange chicken the sauce is sweet and kind of sour. I ordered it almost every time. You guys should check it out :) read more

OMG!!! I love this place!! This place is real legit and authentic, so its owned by a family they all work together and I have been to this place so many times that I had the pleasure of getting the first name basis of knowing Linda. They are fast, reasonably priced and super friendly. I always get the same thing though the mangolian beef with white rice is amaze try the shakes they are awesome!!! read more

Sooooo good! This is my second favorite chinese place in town, only because it's a little farther distance than my number 1. Best for take out or delivery, the walk in area isn't very big. Just enough for two big round tables that everyone sits at while waiting for their take out. Service is always friendly & swift. So far I have had their Fried Rice but my new fav is their Shrimp & Brococli. I always order a small, it usually lasts me three meals. China Cook is a must try! read more

On the way home one Sunday night trying to find something decent still open I turned to my trusty Yelp app and it produced a place I would probably never that though to try. Hidden in a suburban strip mall around the corner from Target. I cant say its the holy grail of Chinese Take out that I have been seeking but its as good or better than what's in the area. One big advantage they have is their prices, really a bargain. Crab Rangoon were crisper than most but well executed, cant say the same for the egg rolls, something was a bit off, maybe a overpowering taste of cabbage...not sure. Since it was my first time I figured I give them a hard test right away, Chow Foon is not something I see allot and it was respectable, the noodles were missing the "wok hei" that really makes them special. My wife had the General Tao's witch was bordering on overly breaded but had a nice glaze not overly sauced and pleasantly spicy...why is it most places that list dishes as spicy never are? For the price we will be back and looking forward try trying out some other dishes read more

I must have come on an off day. I tried this place after shopping at Target next door and looking on Yelp for a place to eat nearby. I learned from the reviews that they have great fried rice and General Tso's chicken...you know...the basics. But I really wasn't impressed and although the prices were right I felt gipped. read more

THIS PLACE IS AWFUL. IF I COULD GIVE IT NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE HAD SINCE MOVING TO STREAMWOOD. My first order with this place ever the guy who took my order completely forget my portion of the order. When I called to point it out, he said they didn't charge me for it. Well, the guy clearly remembered that I ordered it because I asked if they could make it non-spicy and when he said yes than I said I'd order a small. He had no answer as to why he forgot it. I would have paid for a replacement if they would have delivered it but he told me that it would be 45 minutes (I live five minutes away). I would have gladly driven there to pick it up if it was no charge since it was clearly his error, but he wouldn't do that either. At that point I was so angry and hungry I hung up in tears. My husband called back and asked to speak to the manager but was told he wouldn't be in until Wednesday and the guy that was there and in charge didn't speak English. I am just appalled at the sheer lack of customer service here and will never ever order from this place again. I suggest you steer clear of this place as well. Which is a shame because its so close and I do love Chinese food. read more

Everything is going downhill. Service is horrible! Last time i went; i had an order of 70 dollars and she wouldn't even give one hot sauce; she charge 25 cents for each. I told her i am Buying u over 60 dollars and you are not giving me not even one sauce? She was like i don't care if u buy 500 you are still paying for the hot sauce. She was so rude!! This just to be my favorite place! But is service and food is bad! read more

The food is great, but the customer service is absolutely awful. Instead of accommodating an upset customer over missing food in my delivery order, the woman who I believe to be at least a manager chose to argue. Raising her voice, interrupting and trying to talk over me. When I finally said she had just lost business she was ok with that. Such a shame! read more

Food is quick and hot decent tasting but expensive for what it is i ordered two large orange chicken and they gave me one large rice i think a large entree should come with a large rice per entree it is plain white rice ! for 30 dollars at least give enough rice ! read more

I live just down the street from this place and kept telling myself that I must try this place. I was craving some fried rice last Saturday afternoon and thought no time like the present. Walked in ordered some vegetable fried rice and an egg roll. The rice was decent and loved the egg roll! Portions are huge and the food is tasty I will be going back! read more

Been going here for awhile and if the young man is working your order will be correct, the women who works there clearly doesn't know the difference between white and brown rice. Also one of the cooks needs to tie their hair up and keep the strands on their head and not in the food. Totally disgusted. And if you call to complain they simply say bring the food back and wait another 30 minutes for them to make you another one. No refund offered or anything like that. Simply rude as hell over the phone. read more

After my last reviews, the owner responded and kindly offered me 2 free soups as a gesture of goodwill. I took him up on the offer and stopped in and picked up a house special soup. While I was boycotting China Cook, I did try others. All good but there's just something about their broth that puts China Cook above the rest. The very rude young girl is gone-probably back to Jr. High. This makes the experience entirely better. I will continue to feed my Chinese soup addiction here. read more

Ok so I decided to try this place after my friends suggestions. I was working from home and since this place was only across the street from me decided to have my food delivered. I looked at their website and was pleasantly surprised to see so many lunch options for only $5.50 which included an egg roll and a can of soda !!! So I called them and placed the order, but I asked them if delivery was going to take more than 15 minutes, I would rather pick it up as Im only across the street. Honestly, I didn't really feel like stepping outside in the cold weather. They informed me that it would only take a few minutes to deliver so I went ahead and have them deliver it. After 30 minutes, I called them back and they told me it was on their way. Thinking the place was only across the street from my house, I thought they would be right outside my door any minute so I waited by the window. Another 15 minutes go by and still not there. I called them again to inquire and they informed me that delivery was slow due to bad weather...What a Joke !!!! I had to laugh at his excuse, because it had not snowed in the past few days, and the road was clear of snow and it was a sunny day. After another 20minutes, the food finally arrived. I asked the delivery person why he was so late, and he informed me that the other delivery guy did not show up. I can understand now why my order took more than an hour to deliver, but I wish the owners would have been honest with me. I really would have just picked up the order as I was famished by the time I got my order; and by the way, the food was cold. I had to reheat the food in the microwave. I have to admit though, the portions were huge and my Egg Foo Young was pretty delicious. I just got turned off with the LIES which left me with a bad impression of the place. read more

When they first opened up, whoever started it was the sweetest person and they had the best egg rolls in the beginning. Everything slowly went downhill. I always got their fruit smoothies, especially everyday in the summer but now they charge 50 cents extra if you use a credit or debit card. First of all, who carries cash anymore??? And for a smoothie??? The place became a joke because they are the rudest people when they answer the phone like they are being bothered by you calling and when you get the chicken fried rice it's so kind of them to give you two little pieces of chicken instead of one. Nice to walk in and see them selling change purses, gadgets, etc. You might want to work on your quality of food and customer service before you try to take on anything else. read more

The best chinese food in the area by far. They also have super fast delivery. We order take out from here at least once a month and are rarely disappointed. The spring rolls are incredible and I could probably make a meal of 2 orders and some rice. The wonton soup is flavorful and very filling. On top of that the General Tso's chicken is the best I have ever had. I seriously have to plan how much I want to eat of each dish because I could be stuffed before even hitting the entree. Their portion size is enough for two meals. I would recommend this to anyone looking to try a new Chinese place. read more

I just visited China Cook for the first time thanks to fellow Yelper's reviews. The General Tso's Chicken was definitely tastier than that from other Suburban Chinese food places I've visited. The shrimp fried rice was also tasty, not too oily or overcooked. I enjoyed this place and would visit again if I'm in the area and craving Chinese food. read more

Horrible service. The lady up front who I think is the owner was rude and very impatient while I was trying to see what to order. I will not be coming back read more

We don't eat here much anymore. The do cut the veggies a bit big (and barely cook them). Otherwise I'll say that everything is fresh and the meat is always good (no questionables). Its a good place, guess I"m just a bit burned out on chinese takeout. read more

Really great people and service. Very disappointed with the food. Feel like I know what to expect from generic Illinois suburbs Chinese but consistently unhappy with how average most including this can be. Ordered Orange Chicken and Beef with Broccoli, Pork Fried Rice. The chicken flavor was ok but the pieces were huge and spongy and chewy. The beef was very bland and chewy. The fried rice was ok, but too heavy and boring. The best part was the homemade sauces. A sweet tangy duck sauce and a spicy chili oil. Very tasty. This was not a cheap meal food this poor to average. It was 32$ delivered. It was lots of food but it was so unsatisfying that's not much of a plus. The service however was excellent. Staff that took the order and delivered were polite, effective and knew there stuff. Maybe if I stuck to fried rice and noodles it would be ok. Many people seem to like this place so I don't want to be rude but it was too much money for too little taste and quality read more

Favorite Chinese food! Price is great. Quick service and good quality.

I have been ordering from China Cook for years. I've moved around the area, streamwood, Hanover Park, and now Schaumburg. They've always delivered no issues. Last night however I ordered out for delivery, paid with my card over the phone and that was it. The woman on the phone DID NOT confirm my address, but because we had it delivered to the same place so many times I figured it was not a huge deal. Anyways, they had the food sent to an address we haven't lived at in years. Luckily we still have family that live there. The family member signed for it and called me letting me know the food was there. I called to complain, and china Cook threatened to call the police saying we were trying to commit FRAUD!!!! I was so appalled! They then sent the delivery driver back to the wrong address to pick up the food and was being extremely rude to our family member that was there, as if it was her fault. When I called to complain again, he was literally yelling and screaming telling me they never ever delivered to Schaumburg and I have to wrong restaurant. I tried to reconfirm that they've delivered to me before but he was not hearing it. He just kept telling over and over again that I was wrong, and he was gonna call the police. I sent my husband out of his way 15 min to go get the food from our old address and told China Cook that we handled it. The man on the phone just hung up This has literally been the only chinese restaurant I've ever ordered from for years. Our family loves this place for Christmas dinner, etc. The delivery drivers, food and service have always been great. But the woman who took the order made a mistake and couldn't admit to it and caused unnecessary drama to ensue. The way they handled this situation was very unprofessional and could've been done so much better. But they chose to make the customer feel like a dumb criminal. We will never be ordering from this establishment again. read more

Only Chinese food I'll eat in the suburbs! Best General Tso's chicken, fried rice is delicious, not a fan of their orange chicken. I love that they give you the option between egg rolls or spring rolls. read more

Love this place! They are our "go to" Chinese food. Great lo mein, crab rangoons, and spring rolls. Always on time or early for delivery. Good prices. read more

Love this place! It's right by my house, and everybody who works there know me by my name. That feels great. They exactly know my order, and the customer service I get from them is just great. I literally take out Chinese food from this place every week. The food is always fresh (especially the vegetarian dishes). I didn't really like the chicken on a skewer, maybe because that's not their specialty. Overall, nice and reasonably priced place. read more

This place just opened in my neighborhood. I ordered their chicken fried rice, papaya smoothie and beef chow-fun. Both were pretty good. I ordered the small portion of the fried rice and its came out bigger then i expected. It could probably serve two. The beef chow-fun was really good. The beef was tender not overcooked like some places. The noodles were good wasn't too soggy. The only thing i didn't like was there was too much onions. I'll have to ask for no onions next time. As for the papaya smoothie, it came out better then expected. They use a real blender not one of those over the counter type. Their was no chunky ice so it came out like a real smoothie. I'll have to try their smoothies with tapioca balls next time. read more

The customer service and food is bad. They screwed up our order and forgot to deliver some of the food. When I called to complain the girl practically accused me of lying. She said they were too busy and I 'd have to come in and pick the order up. Poor customer service!!! Did not like the pot stickers. Food is fair. read more

Delivery was fast, the food was hot, and It was exactly what I ordered. The delivery man was kind and courteous as well. Will most likely order from them again read more

Fast and delicious, but a little expensive for the portions they give out. Still great though! I always get the sesame chicken.

Great food. Quick delivery. They even know who you are when you call. Kinda creepy, kinda cool.

Got this one mixed up with China Chef which has horrible delivery service. I'll have to try this one.
