Chinese Ho Carryout

I've been trying to find a good, budget, friendly Chinese restaurant in the area, and I finally…read moredecided to give this one a try last night. This is my first order and I went with a takeout: * Crab Rangoons- I received eight, and they were fully stuffed! * Garlic Chicken- this was packed with veggies- chestnuts, broccoli, carrots, squash, green peppers, and mushrooms. The sauce had plenty of flavor and wasn't bland at all, which I really appreciated. They also filled the container to the max, and I still had leftovers! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience, especially for my first order. The portions were generous, the food was flavorful, the prices felt reasonable, and the food was ready before time. I'll definitely be ordering again and trying some of their other menu items.

I'm glad I waited because my options expanded to the entire menu, not just a one-off veggie dish!! Everything me and my partner tried was delicious. The service was so welcoming, kind, and hospitable. The place was nearly empty when we arrived and got a couple more tables during our stay. There was music on and off. It didn't feel air conditioned. To meat eaters: I understand the letdown of the menu you once loved changing drastically, and I know, who are you to trust me... but please don't write Luong Loi off completely. Maybe for one of the times when you go out to eat or order food, you can try doing veggie and support this lovely place. :-) For the appetizer, we were recommended the Mushroom Pani Puri. It was savory, great textures, with a very tiny bit of spice. For my partner's entree, he got the Fresh Rice Noodle with Crispy Rolls & Vegan Ribs. He loved it. I tried the vegan rib and it was delicious! For my entree, I got the Half-Moon Tofu Fried Rice with Vegetables & Vegan Sausage. This was so yum, great combo of flavors, savory and smokey, and the eggy crispy tofu was really great! Drink: Vietnamese coffee with sweetened condensed milk, brewed at our table with a Vietnamese phin filter that's placed over the cup. Stirred and poured over ice for a cold drink. This was nearly identical to how I make/prefer coffee at home, so it was PERFECTION.

I got their Mongolian Beef (or Mongolian onion) This is my dish- I mean I get this every time I go for Chinese somewhere. There shouldn't be any white onion in this at all. This was 3/4 all white onion! Chinese places do this to save a dime but really it is just going to piss people off. The place we usually get our Chinese from in Naperville is probably double the price but there is NO white onion. Only green onion and a few bamboo shoots. I would have went back with this but considering the price and I did get a meal out of it. The rest was thrown out. The beef was fantastic! I don't know if I'd give this another try maybe ask for no onion? The pic was after all the beef was taken out- ALL ONION!

The decor is very nice and they offer a wide selections of appetizers,soups,rice and noodle dishes. We did notice their prices are higher than other Thai restaurants we have eaten at My wife had their Coconut Soup with chicken. It was very flavorful with a blend of coconut milk broth,lemongrass,lime, mushrooms and chicken. (17.95) I always have Pad See Ewe but this time I went with shrimp instead of chicken. I should have stayed with chicken..the shrimp were small and basically frozen from a bag with very little flavor. (18.95) Portions were small in my opinion for the price. We did notice a constant flow of pickups for takeout but since Simply Thai is not close to where we live,not sure I would make the effort to go back again.

While in the area, my party of four decided to drop by Hong Ning to have Filipino food for lunch…read more The restaurant is in a small strip plaza and the Filipino bakery next door is owned by the same family. We arrived on a Saturday just after noon and plenty of parking spaces were available in the parking lot. The restaurant was very spacious with Filipino decor throughout. Approximately half of the tables were occupied with diners and my party was seated right away. We were pretty hungry and ordered several items to share family style. Pork sinigang arrived first and had the distinct tamarind flavor I expected without overpowering the rest of the dish. Lechon kawali came next and the pork belly pieces were cut into perfect bite sized pieces full of flavor and crunch; the lechon tasted good with and without the liver gravy sauce. Crispy sisig arrived on a sizzling plate and was seasoned very well in the mixture of sauce and onions; I liked that the pieces of pork were mostly meat unlike other places which like to sneak in cubes of fat. Crispy pata kare kare was the next dish to arrive and at first glance the portion was huge; the portion was very generous with pork and vegetables and was very delicious. Lastly, we had BBQ pork and chicken skewers, each of which were marinated and grilled very well. To drink, I had the sago gulaman which was very refreshing and had the right amount of sweetness. Overall, I was very impressed with my lunch at Hong Ning. Aside from the generous portions, the dishes were not too oily or salty and it is rare to dine at a Filipino restaurant that prepares its food in way that doesn't feel like it is clogging up arteries. Along the wall in the back by the restroom is a collage of Filipino and Filipino American celebrities that dined at the restaurant, which surprised me for a restaurant in the suburbs. I highly recommend Hong Ning for anyone craving a great Filipino meal while in the Carol Stream area.

Been coming to this place for about a year. Usually pretty good. Found a hair in our food this last visit and they wouldn't refund us a $30 order unless I brought back the piece of hair to prove it. A simple refund and I wouldn't have even left a bad review because I understand it happens. But now, We won't be going back anymore. read more
