So glad to have Danny and his wife (former owners of house of Szechuan in Des Plaines) are back in business with familiar and friendly staff. They opened yesterday 9/21/21. The place is smaller than their prior place but looks very fresh and clean. They are using their old recipes and have the Filipino and Thai menus. Portions were big and everything was delicious from soup, egg rolls and entrees. For fans of the house of Szechuan you must try this place. No liquor license as of yet but it's coming. read more

See all

We paid $44 worth of food just for them to mess up our entire order. We ordered Shrimp Fried Rice, which they forgot to give to us; instead of Empress Shrimp they gave us Empress Chicken, and instead of Chow Mein noodles, they gave us a completely different order. My husband and I were both starving and looking forward to the food but service was terrible. He ended up having to wait to get someone's attention to pick up the order and upon coming home, we were in disappointment to see that our order was messed up. Going to try again to give them a call to get a refund back- but def not coming back here again. read more

The service couldn't have been better. We had the appetizer platter and finally egg rolls with peanut butter you can taste. I look forward to trying several other dishes. read more

Wanted to try a new Chinese spot for carry out but it backfired! We had several dishes and they were barely edible. About 5 levels below Panda Express even. Entrees didn't come with rice. read more

Excellent food and service! Owners so kind and welcoming! Always a pleasure to eat there. Some of my favorites are the peanut butter egg rolls, the wonton soup, and the shrimp egg foo young. Large portions, so you always have some to go. read more

love this place!!! i just recently discovered this restaurant and they have very great prices and good quality food. My absolute favorite is their hot and sour soup. read more

We had a fairly large order. One of the things we ordered was Orange Chicken. It came without any sauce sauce. Normally is sort of crispy and fried in the sauce. One of us went back to the restaurant and told them no sauce. They said there was, but there was sauce. They didn't do anything to assist us. We returned home and there was no sauce! Surprising that they would not do anything to help. read more

First time here and it was great I ordered egg rolls,fried chicken and combination fried rice. Portions were good and some of the freshest egg rolls I ever had. Prices were also reasonable. Will return read more

Kept driving past the "Opening soon" sign while taking my puppy to the dog park. Finally drove by it today and saw a ton of cars in the lot so I figured why not try it. Phone order service was quick, time to pickup was quoted as 30 minutes which is about what it took. Why 30 minutes? Cause the place was freaking packed for lunch! Always a great sign. Was the food worth the wait? Ya betcha! Got me some classic staples in the Kung Pao Chicken and Mongolian Beef. Both were delicious. My father, who rarely eats anything other than polish sausage, trash, steak, and potatoes loved it. If he liked it, so will you. I never post reviews for anything but figured I wanna see this place stick around! With food like this I'm sure they will. read more

This is an outstanding Chinese restaurant! The food, the service and the owners are fantastic. We live in Northbrook and there are very few good Chinese restaurants. I have found this restaurant to be the top of the heap, definitely worth trying and becoming a loyal customer! read more

Super friendly service and minimal wait time for your food. Mongolian beef and pan fried potstickers are my favorite and go to.

I love this place, sesame chicken and fried rice is my favorite... for today, the menu is diverse. I wished they have more pictures for all the dishes! read more

Carried out sweet & sour shrimp and chicken lo mein. The lo mein was delish but shrimp were deep fried with too much breading. So many choices. Good enough to schedule a return trip! read more

This place was great! Didn't even know they opened, so when I found out, I went in for a lunch special. The waitress was very helpful, and the owner was extremely pleasant to talk with. The food was amazing! I've lived in the area for over 5 years, and been having a hard time finding good Chinese food. Ive finally found it!! Mongolian beef lunch special with crab rangoon was great! very hot and delicious!! read more

I am hesitant to leave this review because I don't want one of my new favorite Chinese restaurants to be too crowded when I want to eat there! The interior is nice for a strip shopping center location. Every employee is friendly and engaging. The owners clearly have a dedicated following from their previous locations and it shows based on the number of mini-reunions we witnessed while eating. I had enjoyed their previous locations, but I was far from a regular. We dined in and thought they did a great job with social distancing. There were even a few tables outside. Every table had a pump bottle of sanitizer right next to the soy sauce (a sign of the times). None of the above positives can cover for the food, and in this case they don't have to. The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and the flavors were good. We had a Hong Kong Beef Chow Fun and there was just as much meat as there was noodles. The same held true for our Chicken Kow. The veggie egg roll was not the best I ever had, but it was good. We were even given a free bag of almond cookies to take home in addition to the ones that came with the bill. Overall a great place and we will definitely be back. Though we have to pass countless other Chinese places to get here, it is worth the drive. read more

Good food, good value, friendly service. Great food options. What more can you ask for.

We've been going here since their grand opening. We weren't too impressed early on, but I think they were still working out kinks. Now that they've been around for awhile, the food quality seems much better and more consistent and the service is great. We've only gotten takeout, but the owners are extremely friendly and often chat with my little ones while we wait for our food. The staff is extremely nice and general takeout service is fast and easy. Food is very good and portions are generous. We are fans of the egg rolls, fried rice, lo mein and walnut shrimp. read more

Love this place. It is in a mall at the south end. The service is great. The food is great. There is no fancy decorating just your normal Chinese restaurant decorations read more

excellent Great egg foo young and fine cut chow mein.

My sisters and I stopped at the Chinese Munch Inn yesterday and we were ecstatic to see Danny and his crew. The food was wonderful as always and we were happy to find our favorite dishes were exactly as remembered. The Crab Ragoons were bursting at the seams with crab cream cheese filling, The Hot Sour Soup was flavorful and steaming hot. Our main meal choices were Kung Pao Chicken and Shrimp, Subgum Chicken, and Shrimp Egg Foo Young. All dishes were abundant and full of flavor. We each had a container to take home. We can't wait to go back! read more

Finally found my spot for Chinese! Awesome egg rolls. Super nice people run this place. Great mom and pop place with great food, great service and super fair prices. Must try them. You won't regret it!!! read more

Love the friendliness and promptness of entering my order. Was very pleasantly surprised by the restaurant inside and will definitely be back for a sit down dinner! The hostess was accommodating and offered tea and cookies while waiting, you can tell their genuine concern for their patrons ! Made my go to list and I have been in the area for over 20 years! Excited to find a new favorite spot !!!! read more

The food is really good and the staff is awesome. Thanks for starting a new restaurant near me!!! read more

Sorry to say this after great food five times in a row. The sixth time was terrible! It started with the soup. My wife and I ordered won ton soup, got hot and sour soup. After swapping them out for the correct soup we ordered vegetable egg rolls and specifically telling the waitress of my shrimp allergy. Guess what? First bite, I bit into a quarter inch piece of shrimp! WTF! Got those swapped out for the vegetable egg rolls. The waitress apologized. We then got our main courses of Empress Chicken and Singapore Noodles and noticed the portions to be significantly smaller than usual. The prices of those courses were around $15 each! I just want to say this. During the drive home, I had to stop at a Walgreens to purchase some Benadryl because I got hives from the shrimp. While in the Walgreens my wife called the restaurant and spoke to the woman owner about the situation. Instead of apologizing, she turned everything around on us that we should have specifically ordered the vegetable egg rolls. Which we did. Never again will we go here! read more

Best Chinese food in the area and the owners and everyone who works there are friendly and make dining in or just getting carryout a pleasure! read more

The egg and veggie rolls are the best! Danny And Mary know what their doing glad to see them back in the restaurant business missed them so much! read more

This place was vacant for a couple of years, so glad the former owners of House of Szechuan are back in business. Tastefully remodeled and classy. Ok, lets get down to business. We ordered out as we wanted to sample quite a few things. The egg rolls are some of the best we ever had, seriously, and the BBQ pork appetizer was great also. We had the Pork fried rice, the pork egg foo young also. Once again, just great. My wife who had the cashew shrimp said it was better than her previous favorite of Wonton Gourmet on 83. I had the curry chicken and it was just fantastic. And the fact that they are so close to where we live is an added bonus. I can drive a half mile instead of 8 to get some of the best ever. I cannot wait to explore the other items on their extensive menu. read more

Doesn't l look like much from the outside , but Wow !! The best egg rolls to start. Combination Egg foo young , sweet n sour pork, combo fried rice And did I mention egg rolls . Lol A must try Restaraunt get there early Friday and Saturday night because it's a full house. read more

What a great dining experience from the moment we walked in! First, we were warmly greeted by the owners. Then Kimberly, immediately came to our table, welcomed us & got us started with delicious Egg Drop Soup, we tried the Crab Rangoons, Vegetable & Meat Egg Rolls followed by Beef Kow with White Rice. Everything was hot, made to order, perfectly seasoned & our entree/rice was more than we could eat. Hot tea was served with Fortune Cookies & delicious Almond Cookies. We look forward to going back with friends & family. This will be our new go to restaurant. Thank you to the owners & Kimberly for a fantastic dinner & experience. Appreciate all you do! read more

Amazing Drunken Noodles. I went with mild and they had so much flavor and a little spice. Great meat quality. Egg rolls are delicious. I live in AH, but will be traveling for Chinese now. read more

Very nice to have a good Chinese food place near by. After trying so many and being disappointed Chinese Munch In was a nice change. Food was tasty and ready just as we arrived. The menu is massive so we will be back to try some more. read more

Just the best food, best service and happiest owners. I keep saying I want to eat my way down the menu but I can't get past the Kung Pao Beef. The beef is tender and the sauce just the right spice. We order a large hot and sour soup when we get take out because it is great with the left over dinners the next day. We have eaten in and done take out many times and either way is just wonderful. When our daughter was visiting at Thanksgiving she wanted to go there since she was a big fan growing up of their original location in Mt Prospect She was thrilled that nothing has changed. Welcome back to the neighborhood Danny and Mary. read more

I was a frequent customer when the restaurant was Classic China. However with each change in ownership, I was not at all surprised it closed due to POOR SERVICE and FOOD. I missed having a Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. So when I saw there was a grand opening of Chinese Munch In, I decided to give it a try. The place has been nicely renovated and from the moment of stepping inside, the host and waiters couldn't have been more pleasant. And the food, fresh and tasty. It's now my "go to" spot for Chinese food. Glad you're here! read more

We've found our new Chinese restaurant! Just had a delicious lunch at this new location. My husband had the Sizzling Rice Soup and he loved it. It was a huge portion. I had appetizers, steamed potstickers, egg rolls and honey walnut shrimp. The potstickers are 4 to an order and they are huge. They were filled with an abundance of nicely seasoned meat. The egg rolls were also delicious. I had the meat/shrimp version and the touch of peanut butter flavor took these to the next level. Finally, I had the appetizer portion of the honey walnut shrimp. The portion was very generous (although I would request less sauce next time). The shrimp were crispy and perfectly cooked. Very friendly staff. We will definitely be back! read more

Ordered for the first time last night! Was very pleasantly surprised to see the owners of my old favorite restaurant (House of Szechwan) running the show here! Have really missed their food. We happened upon the restaurant and am very happy we did! The food was piping hot and delicious! Definitely will be back! Made our Christmas Eve dinner awesome! read more

Went there to carry out sesame chicken lunch special. First time since they opened. It was excellent. Any Chinese restaurant has to pass my egg roll test before I can enjoy the rest of the meal. Egg rolls were super, so was the rest of the lunch in the cute box. Thinking of ordering the appetizer plate for 2 next time. Love appetizers. read more

First time there. Won't be the last. The food was great. Everything was tasty and hot. The two owners were very friendly. It was a pleasure to find a new place. read more

New owners have completely redone this restaurant. It has been a few different Chinese restaurants in this location, but the people who just opened now were the owners of House of Szechwan before they sold it. The food here is really great! I'm so excited to have a good Chinese restaurant again! Nice owners too, and clean looking inside. Will come back soon. read more

We ordered pick up from here. We finally found a Chinese place nearby that has great food! Meal was ready in time. I had the Singapore noodles and they were delicious. Egg rolls good too. Also the bbq pork fried rice. Had enough left over to use in another dish a few days later. Great find. read more

My all time FAVORITE place! The food is AMAZING and the staff goes out of their way to please! Danny the owner is absolutely fantastic! Super nice guy that makes every guest feel welcome! I would highly recommend!!!!!! read more
