    This place honestly doesn't deserve a two star rating, but I feel bad as the staff was really…read morefriendly and the interior of the restaurant was fine and they had a little robot carrying to-go orders to the front, so that was cool. However, the food was very bad. We ordered pad thai with tofu, and the dish that was brought out was about 75% massive, tasteless chunks of tofu. What few noodles could be found underneath all the tofu were mixed with chopped onion, diminishing their ratio even further. There was a tiny pile of about 1/2 tsp of ground peanuts added in one corner of the plate. The sauce tasted sour and burnt. One of the worst pad thai variations I've had in a long time. Still.. I wouldn't fault them just for having bad food, but within an hour of leaving the restaurant, both the spouse and I were having an upset stomach, and ended up not being able to finish our drive home without having to pull over and find a public restroom. I would chalk it up to coincidence, but my spouse revealed that when she used the restroom, there were prominent signs indicating that no one is allowed to flush any sort of toilet paper down the toilet, and instead has to put them in open bins sitting in each stall next to the toilet. Each stall in the restroom had open trash cans filled with used toilet paper full of fecal matter, which is pretty horrifying to think of in a restaurant serving food in a first world country. My spouse brought home her leftovers and heated up them the next morning and within a half hour of eating them, was already having an upset stomach again which endured for the remainder of the day. We would definitely not eat here again, and it seems like the health department probably needs to pay this place a visit.

    First of all, this restaurant is a good time. I saw the owner and he has tons of energy, will greet…read moreyou upon arrival, and is always smiling. However, I feel like they've completely branded it the wrong way. This is clearly a tiki bar in the middle of McHenry, Illinois. I would come here solely based on their drinks and appetizers. Classic dishes, such as Pork Chop Suey or Shrimp in Lobster Sauce were not listed on the menu. I think the menu was designed to cater to the McHenry County palate and not necessarily Chicagoland masses. The classic fried boneless chicken pieces tossed in sauce and placed over rice were available. To be specific, General Tszo's chicken and sesame chicken seem to be popular. There are also chicken and steak dishes which I thought were sorta appetizing. I ended up getting the chef's pot stickers, an eggroll, and the Bird of Paradise meal. It's true, the eggroll was pretty delicious. So were the potstickers. My meal seemed to be very carb forward, and the beef was generally tasteless. I took my meal to go after having maybe two bites out of it. Today I took about half of it and reheated it in a large pan with scrambled eggs. I also added the hot mustard and stirred it into the dish so it could spread out. Paired with soy sauce, it really made the dish have so much more flavor. I'm used to eating at restaurants in Chicago that are really challenging my pallet. This place is very safe for people who are generally not adventurous eaters but do want to get an introduction into Chinese food. Again, I can't stress enough that if you're home from college for the summer break, or you are a 30 something working individual looking for somewhere to let off some steam in the middle of McHenry (when it seems like there is nowhere to go) -- come here. It has the best vibes. The Staff and the owner are super friendly and very accommodating. I got everything necessary to package up my food to take home. Although most places operate this way, it was nice to be able to just give my card at the table and have it run through while the waiter was standing right in front of me. Come here to party. This is the perfect venue and the tiki drinks are fire!

    My general opinion on this place still stands, it's good from time to time but it's inconsistent…read more Today was a pretty good day here, everything was done correctly although it was all luke warm at best. Sometimes my fried dumplings are hardly fried at all but today they had great texture. Those are my must have item, I order them every time. The white rice is... white rice. Can't mess that up. The fried rice had plenty of vegetables, I find the color a bit unnatural but the flavor was good enough. The wonton soup was good but really should have been hotter, I live very close by and always pick up on time so the drive time isn't an issue. The egg roll was decent and the warmest item we got. The Tso's chicken had a great sauce and decent texture but given how hot the container was and how luke warm the meat was its obviously pre made (I'm guessing everything is here, unless your lucky). The place itself is a dingy hole in the wall spot. They do have a few tables but it's not an environment I'd want to hang out in so it's mostly a take out joint. The service hurts their score more than anything else. Their phone etiquette needs a lot of work, today they did a good job but normally they rush through the process and you feel like they don't even want your business. They might ask for your name or phone number or even give you an order number but the language barrier can complicate the pick up process so they often figure out which order is yours by asking what's in your order. A concrete system that the workers understand would go a long way to fixing this issue. Most orders take no more than 10 minutes to prepare so make sure your close by before you call or your luke warm food will end up cold by the time it hits your table. Overall this place is hit and miss but it's somehow the best bet for Chinese in this area.

There was a bag of oil on the sesame balls. There were soaked in oil, not crunchy and sweet sour shrimp. All shrimp. We tour one apart, and the shrimp was as big as dime. Very disappointed. Very dry eggrolls, I've ordered before and been very satisfied, but I don't know what happened before and been very satisfied, but I don't know what happened to their fried rice? were dark brown fried rice. I ordered shrimp fried rice with no flavor and dark rice,Very unsatisfied, took menu to pass to my family. They threw them away.
