Got some strip mall Chinese food in Oak Forest. It has a few tables inside if you really want to…read moreeat here. #1 Chop Suey is mostly to go orders. A lot of questionable tactics going on around. The prices are all wrong and always higher than they have listed. Crappy looking strip mall with this being on a side where it's actually hidden. It's almost as if they're trying to not let people find it. That may actually not be that bad of an idea for some restaurants. Actually it's better than expected. The food is okay but the prices suck. It's about $13 for an entree. We got the Kung Pao Tofu. It came in to go containers. On a tray. Bush league. We put the rice on the paper plates then put the entrees on top. A good thing was the flavor. There was quite a spiciness. Having a crappy way of presenting meals can ruin many restaurants but this one is still around if you can believe it. It's closed Mondays. They have a crappy interior but most customers get takeout so whatever.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR…read more I have ordered food from this establishment in the past. It was a little expensive for what it was but the food was excellent so I had no real complaints. This experience was very different. The food was very average and the prices were relatively inexpensive.. One wonders if it was sold to new owners or if they gave up. The lobby/dining room was nothing special. There were a few diner tables, one of which was covered with business paperwork. It seemed like it was take out only. The kitchen was very cluttered. I couldn't imagine how they were able to cook and keep any standards. Not surprising that the food had suffered. As stated earlier the food was just okay. When asked they would not substitute fried rice for the accompanying white rice. I had to pay for it as a completely separate item. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant as the standards are extremely lacking.

Wing's isn't anything authentic to be sure but most don't expect it to be though. Has good value for a few items. There's a pretty okay amount of spiciness. Came at lunch. It's a pretty cramped place. They weren't busy, even with only one table in here, which should have been a sign. One reason is they have delivery. They also have plenty of customers who get takeout. It's about $12 for an entree. The Mapo Tofu can be made vegetarian by leaving out the pork. Get specials here at lunch. It has delivery and takeout. The menu has a few things for vegetarians.

New Wok is just such a small place it seems like it's popular. Actually it's not that bad. The food is pretty cheap which is the best thing. Busy especially when it's lunch. It's as if there's no other place to go around here, and there's not a lot from the looks of things. This is carryout only, and once you get inside you'll see why. Has no tables at all. There's only a counter and people lining up from the entrance to it. It's about $7 for an entree. We got the Vegetable Chop Suey. Basic. This is noodles with vegetables. Comes in boxes.
