As soon as we walked in we were greeted by our waiter and taking to our table. The sweet and sour soup was surprisingly very good. The egg roll was good. The crab ragoons were very good. The orange chicken was very good and crispy. The white rice and shrimp fried rice was excellent both were very good. Overall I would definitely recommended the "East China inn" read more

The food is delicious, a variety of cuisine to choose from. Staff friendly, courteous and inviting. Had the veggie eggs, veggie fried rice and order was made precisely. The atmosphere and ambiance dives you into the culture and is elegant. North Aurora is the location to go to! read more

Solid Chinese food. Good portions and love the soup and appetizers - egg rolls and fried shrimp - with family dinners. read more

East China Inn - Fried shrimp, egg rolls, hot tea and egg drop soup - Chinese Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

very good food, clean bathroom, and very accommodating. I will be going here for my chinese food fix from now on. Egg rolls were great!

The Crab Rangoons keep me coming back to East China Inn! They are the best around! Filled with actual crab meat, they are delicious! The staff always makes you feel welcome as if you are family. Tonight I tried something out of my normal comfort zone. The beef with pea pods and water chestnuts was very good. The veggies crisp and the beef tender. The restaurant is decorated traditionally and is comfortable. As far as Chinese food goes, this is a great place to stop or take out! read more

I just moved this way and wanted to figure out the best Chinese place close to me. I got beef fried rice and egg rolls. The beef fried rice is very light and looks a little like it's mixed with white rice. It's bland. The egg rolls are good. However, the fried rice was bad enough that I won't be going back unfortunately. Good luck eating here. read more

East China Inn on Oak Street has been and will continue to remain a community place for food. I have been going there for years. In fact, I didn't realize they even noticed when you haven't been there. I had an heart attack a few months ago along with a broken ankle and they created a menu item just for me. I walked in today 6 months later and they were concerned about me and encouraged me to get the special menu item. I really appreciate them all. read more

Worst experience ever, I came for the first time to this place, once we got in I saw one of the waitress was giving to my daughter a very dirty bad looking. Immediately once she realized I was paying attention to her actions and face she immediately reacts with "omg sorry I didn't did anything wrong", I told her yes you were! I saw you clearly! I ask for the manager and worst ever, he was defending her. He said "I'm the owner" his name is Darian. What a trash place for real! La peor experiencia de mi vida, vine por primera vez a este lugar, una vez que entramos vi que una de las meseras le estaba dando una mirada muy sucia a mi hija. Inmediatamente, cuando se dio cuenta de que le estaba prestando atención a sus acciones y su rostro, reaccionó de inmediato con un "Dios mío, lo siento, no hice nada malo", le dije; ¡te vi claramente! Como me lo puedes negar en mi cara? Pregunté por el gerente y, lo peor de todo, la estaba defendiendo. En lugar de disculparse Dijo "Soy el dueño", su nombre es Darian. ¡Qué lugar más basura, de verdad! read more

Thought I maybe had a sensitive stomach but after reading other reviews (one by latoiya where her daughter got stomach sickness from this place) I'm 100% sure it's their food. Nothing else I have been eating has upset my stomach the way this did. Ordered chicken fried rice and sweet and sour chicken. It didn't taste bad but didn't taste amazing. I agree with the other reviews that's it's weirdly lacking flavor. But this place definitely uses some type of old or bad oil cause I got really, really sick from their food. Definitely don't recommend coming here. I used to come here for years back in the day, I'm visiting again from out of town after moving. and it was good back in the day. But I think they got new owners or stopped caring. Making people sick with food is pretty crappy though! Think this place should be looked at by a food board of health. Concerning. read more

East China Inn has the best Chinese food in fox valley. It doesn't matter what location, the food is the best. Amazing egg rolls. Good crab rangoons. Great lunch specials. read more

Staff was very nice. Delivery was fast. Order was very accurate. Their food is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. Fried shrimp was so unbelievably bland I tossed em. But I can't even express the blandness. It's like someone actively did something to even take the natural flavor of the meats and vegetables away. Lookit, I cook. I don't even know how you get something to be that bland. Sort of a talent, actually, cuz the level of blandness of this food was, like, physics-defying. If you're considering this place, just soak a paper towel in water and then chew on that. Pretty much the same as what you'd pay for here. Tracy score: CARDBOARD. read more

Good is always fresh and hot. Staff knows my regular order and are always very accommodating.

Terrible. Do not order from here. Food is ok the issue is terrible preparation times. No communication and even worse no remorse or apologies from the staff. read more

I was excited to try this place. Kinda disappointed. Was told my order would take ten minutes but it was ready in about 7, i was happy it was fast but once i got in the car 1 min later i noticed my food wasn't even hot. McDonald's fries have lasted longer. I got a simple sweet n sour chicken...it comes from hot oil so you think it be piping hot. Then i get to my destination a few minutes later. The sauce had a rotten pepper and the chicken was very questionable. Pieces had weird colors n textures The quality is not good.....just go to panda for fresh ingredients read more

YUM! This place REALLY hit the spot and was super affordable as well. I used to have my absolute FAVORITE Chinese spot in Miami which I'd frequent shamelessly 2-3x a month. However when I moved to the NW suburbs of Illinois 6 years ago. I had to say goodbye to Oriental Express too... Luckily, I think my quest for quality Chinese food has finally come to a triumphant end. This place is delicious, authentic, and very affordable, what more can you ask for? I had the Crab Rangoon, BBQ Pork Fried Rice, and the Spicy Hunan Beef. Everything was fresh and delicious, and to my surprise, EXACTLY how I like it and very close to, if not exactly how it all was 6 years ago at my favorite Chinese restaurant in Miami. Will definitely be back soon and often. read more

Great service with delicious lunch today. Easy parking and nice light music playing in the background. Our sever was very attentive to our every need. Nice to see that. We ordered a lunch to go for our daughter and didn't have to wait for that at all. Great place. read more

The food was very good tonight very hot and fresh. The eggrolls were delicious. Service was very good. It was extremely busy tonight though. Things seem to run pretty smoothly. read more

I've been here so many times for takeout. Good size portions for lunch it's like 2-3 meals for me. They have alot choices to choose from. My favorite item here is their chicken fried rice, Szechuan chicken, and stir fry shrimp with peapods and water-chestnuts. The prices are reasonable. The fruit smoothies are okay here too. The place is quite dated though. The staff is nice and food is also made fast and good. read more

Absolutely love this place. After being humiliated at another Restaurant today. Thank you for being so kind and nice. Appreciate this place. Thank you read more

Thought I had found perfect new Chinese w/ takeout and delivery, but I was was wrong. I found 2 straight pieces of hair in my Chinese delight dish. My daughter had the shrimp fried rice and got very sick in the stomach. I called, spoke to manager "Daren". He denied that my daughter was sick from food saying if that's the case every who be sick? Huh, ok dude. You are basically calling me a liar when I called to inform you of my experience. I spent 42.00 bucks and tipped the delivery boy. Not a great experience indeed. Beware of North Aurora, IL. Hairs and stomach sickness, not ordering from them again. read more

This restaurant makes for a great place to have lunch. They have great lunch specials and the food comes out fast. I love everything I've had and even for a lunch special the portions are generous. Lunch special comes with your choice of soup. Food is very flavorful and fresh. I love their egg drop soup, so simple but delicious. If you're looking for a reasonable place to have lunch and are tired of fast food check them out. A great lunch for less than 10.00. read more

Excellent food and excellent service. Great portion size. Great (lunch) pricing and options. Would definitely recommend. Will return in the future. read more

I LOVE the food from East China inn. Great sesame chicken. I absolutely love Szechuan chicken - ordered extra spicy! Such good flavor! The dinner order is enough for 2-3 meals! read more

I have been going to East China and getting the honey sesame chicken for years and then moved out of town. I came back last night and got it again absolutely disgusting !I don't know what they're doing but they are going downhill! read more

I have been ordering here on and off for probably 6 years. Recently the quality of the food, and fish in particular is BAD. The food doesn't smell good at all. I'm disappointed, and won't be ordering again. :( I posted this review, and Yelp informed me that they took it down because I may not have been to the correct location. Let me assure you- the seafood I ordered from the EAST CHINA INN on OAK STREET in NORTH AURORA was FOUL smelling and ROTTEN. read more

I tried them for the first time. Their wonton soup was light tasting and good. However, the wontons have very little meat

Very good. I really liked the Mongolian beef. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely stop by again.

Wonderful food, great tea, always amazing service, large variety on their menu, great seating, very comfortable, and always trustworthy. The best Chinese food around! read more

East China Inn - Napkin - Chinese Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

Pretty bummed out right now! This was my favorite Chinese place for years & it was just not good tonight. I always order Moo Goo Guy Pan, which has a thick cream sauce, chicken & colorful Chinese veggies. Tonight my Moo Goo was all onions & half raw mushrooms. Maybe 3 pieces of chicken. And what's up with their pot stickers!?!? The tasted like Vienna Sausages with a really doughy tasting dough. Hope this was just an off night but I'll stick with China Hut on River St fron now on! They never disappoint read more

Love getting take-out from here! They have the best chicken fried rice and we often have the hot and sour or wonton soup. Great crab rangoons as well - the right amount of filling. Everything I've tried has been delicious. You also get a lot of food at a great price! Easy to place your order online and the food is always hot and ready on time. read more

Best Chinese food near Aurora! Their orange chicken, and beef kow tastes great. We're regular customers

I am surprised they don't know me by first name as much as I order. At one point, it was at least once a week! East China Inn in one word... consistent. Great customer service, quality food... I have not had a bad experience and my husband and I have been ordering for at least 2 years now. Great job, guys. Our go to COVID delicacy. read more

We've been going here almost 20 years and it's still our favorite Chinese restaurant ever. Consistent, delicious, comforting, staff that know us by name, it can't get any better. read more

East China Inn (North Aurora) has been a favorite of our family for years. Even after moving out of the area, we still make the drive back when we want Chinese food, as we haven't found anything nearly as good! The restaurant is large, with plenty of seating, so patrons don't need to worry about a wait on weekends. Service is prompt and friendly. Try one of the family meals or dinners for 2. These meal "deals" come with soup, egg rolls and pot stickers. The egg rolls are delicious, and the pot stickers are, too. The Mongolian beef is the best I've had, as with the twice cooked pork. Delivery also arrives fresh, for those that are close enough for delivery. read more

03/31/2016 @ 04:04:37 pmCST This restaurant needs to be reviewed by the health code department. They serve hot sauce that is molded. Joanie who I spoke with over the phone was rude and telling me that it's not their problem. Unbelievable!!! This violates health code. And we are regular at this restaurant. Very unprofessional. I will definitely complain to the Chamber of Commerce of North Aurora regarding this place. Patrons beware of this restaurant. Look at this photo of this molded sauce. Joanie said they store it in a cooler instead of a fridge. She even told me that I can't expect them to check their sauces all the time. Unbelievable. I ask to talk to a manager but rude Joanie started arguing with me and yelling at me and cutting me off mid sentence. She said Sandy the manager will call me tomorrow (04/01/2016). We'll see if Sandy calls me.... Check the photo and video I've uploaded. Beware it's gross... I PRAY AND HOPE that we don't get sick or food poison from the combination lo-mein, egg rolls, and Mongolian beef that we ordered. Now I really question how fresh their ingredients are especially they can't even check the freshness of a simple sauce. Disgusting!!!!!!!!! read more

East China Inn - Molded hot sauce from East China Inn at Oak Street North Aurora IL - Chinese Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

My family and I ordered a few times for take out and the food was actually very good, we liked the fried rice a lot as it is not drowning in oil and soy sauce and has enough shrimp and vegetables to make it very tasty. We decided to eat in the last 2 times and we were quite impressed with the cleanliness of the dining area and the quality of service, the gentleman who waited on us was very nice, efficient and well mannered. We also enjoyed the hot tea and relaxing music they played. We will be back. read more
