Excellent service. The food is reasonably priced especially for the large portions that is served…read more The ambiance is your typical no thrills vibe. I was today years old when I learned you can ask for the flat rice noodles to be fried extra crispy for a pillowy interior, crunchy exterior that holds the sauce beautifully with each bite.

They remodeled the inside and it looks nice. I ordered the lunch special. I got beef with pea pods,…read morecrab rangoon, and I upgraded to beef fried rice. The beef was a little tough but good flavor and a lot of beef and pea pods. The crab rangoon is really good. This is where I always order Chinese in the area.

Before you read my tiny, short novel here, I will preface that this review is just for a soup :)…read more My husband and I have been on a hot and sour soup kick lately--I'm talking three weeks straight of craving it. It started with me, but now he's fully on board, and we're officially on the hunt for "the best hot and sour soup" in the suburbs. I might be a bit of an Asian soup snob, but when I go to an Asian restaurant, I can judge a lot about the authenticity of the cuisine based on their soups. Soups can be one of the simplest dishes to make, but they're also easy to overlook. To me, if a place puts care into their soups, they'll likely put that same care into their entrées. With Asian soups especially, the tiniest tweaks make a big difference in flavor. If you love Tom Yum or pho, you know exactly what I mean--it's all about the flavor profile. And the same goes for a good old hot and sour soup... and oh my--I think I found the one tonight. I could have easily finished the entire quart in one sitting (I showed some restraint... barely). My husband gave it a thumbs up, and my oldest loved the kick and went back for seconds. Safe to say--we'll be back for more on our next takeout night. Definitely worth the $7.73 (tax included). Where it hit all the right notes: * Fresh bamboo shoots, mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms (my favorite), eggs, carrots, and tofu * Perfect consistency (not too thick, not too watery) * Balanced flavor (not overly sour or flat) * Real chili peppers for heat (not just a heavy hand of black pepper) My favorite detail: The vegetables were actually cut into bite-sized pieces --not giant chunks--and everything was properly cooked and tender. I've been to places where the carrots are so crunchy, it feels like they came straight out of the ground! We've ordered takeout from here several times and haven't had a bad experience yet. I just haven't been intentional about remembering what I ordered--until now. This soup officially has me paying attention, and I'll definitely be back to try more of their entrées (and take notes this time!). I managed to get a picture of the remaining 30% of my soup where I had to tilt the carton just to get the photo. It was all eaten too fast before I could take a picture. Pickup was smooth and easy. I was able to pay with a credit card even for a small order (under $10). They also have a wall of gift items for sale, which looked interesting. There are a few tables and chairs if you want to sit while you wait (or maybe even eat there) but it definitely feels more like a takeout-focused spot. Based on the neon signage outside, it looks like they offer delivery as well. Tip: With small businesses like this one, they aren't married to their hours. When I called on a Wednesday to ask about their closing time, they told me it was 8:45 PM. However, when I arrived, the sign on the door listed their closing time as 9:00 PM. We picked up well ahead, but I've also seen Google reviews mentioning that they may close early, so just keep that in mind--especially if you're placing an order or calling close to closing time.

This is our go to Chinese restaurant for delivery. Food is always hot, tastes good and delivered…read morewithin a reasonable timeframe. Prices are fairly good. Like that they offer half/small size portions of many menu items.

I must preface this by saying that this review isn't about the food, which is actually very good…read morebut rather about their outrageous prices. I've been here a few times now, and the costs just keep climbing. While the food is tasty, inflation has clearly hit them hard. I recently ordered sesame chicken, hot and sour soup, pepper steak, and walnut shrimp, and the bill came out to nearly $70. I remember when Chinese takeout was both cheap and good. At these prices, I'd honestly rather go to P.F. Chang's and get the full sit-down experience and service. I never thought I'd say this, but this local takeout spot is officially pricing me out!

One of my favorite things to order from TL's Four Seasons is the honey sesame crispy beef (or…read morechicken), it's SO good! The portions are generous, and we almost always have plenty of leftovers for another meal. The hot & sour soup is also a great addition, and the fried gyoza are delicious. The sushi is good overall, although it can occasionally have a slightly fishy taste. Still, there are lots of great options on the menu, and the large portions make it a great choice when you want enough for lunch the next day!

This place is a great vibe in downtown Bartlett. The food is great. We love the garlic pepper beef…read moreand most all the sushi I've ever tried here. The special rolls are my fave even though I'd prefer sashimi. My only complaint here is that it has gotten extremely pricey over the years. However, the quality and taste has always been on point so it's worth the splurge every once in a while. The service has almost always been great. This place can get busy and take a while to sit down during the dinner rush on Fridays and Saturdays. Good as a take out place, too... but, as with almost all take out, I'd steer clear of fried foods unless you plan to crisp them back up at home.

Ordered the Hunan Beef with extra beef, Chicken with garlic sauce and pot stickers…read more Yes the pot stickers were thick and doughy, only place that has thin dough is Twin Dragons. BUT Fortune House has delivery (Twin Dragons doesn't) and Fortune House gives you a lot more for your money. Good amount of meat, a lot of crispy, crunchy (no over done) vegetables, bell pepper, water crestnut, carrots, broccoli and bean spouts in a rich creamy nice rich gravy. The garlic chicken was likewise very good. This week I've been trying out many of the Chinese restaurants around Hanover Park and for the money - so far, Fortune House gives you the biggest bang for your buck. Amazed at the difference in restaurants and in my humble opinion, Fortune House this week wins the prize for not being stingy with the meat and veggies. Fast, delicious, big portions and cost effective.

Checked out this place in Schaumburg to get Chinese. Fortune House is as basic as it can get. It…read morehas a counter to order at and not much else to be honest. Basically it's only for carryout orders so know that before. The food is pretty average looking and tasting. Bare bones kind of place where you get it to go. It's got the fairly common items you find at most of these places in strip malls. The atmosphere inside certainly is uninspiring. Hardly any room to even wait inside. It's about $9 for an entree at lunch. I got the Homestyle Bean Curd. This is fried tofu with a spicy brown sauce. Basically this is all there is to it. This also comes with a side of rice. For sure it's not much of a location, just a counter. It's actually open daily, unlike almost every other Chinese place. This is located on Schaumburg Road at Staffire.

Had some better than expected Chinese food in Elgin. It looks like a dump from the outside, but…read morerest easy because it looks like a dump on the inside. Gee N Jay's is one of the cheap Americanized Chinese classics. Only has orders to go. The majority of customers wouldn't want to eat inside thankfully. Found out about this after going past it a few times and after that we got curious. It's a pretty crappy looking building that even has a drive thru if you can believe it. This certainly isn't authentic stuff. A typical place with the big pictures of the entrees. They only had a few listed. Also has kiosks. These had the full menu though. It's about $13 for an entree. There's a few okay for vegetarians. I got the Kung Pao Tofu. This is a pretty standard version. Has a pretty good hotness. There's mostly tofu along with a few pieces of baby corn and peppers. Great place to get takeout, because that's the only option of course. It's located on Dundee at Page. They close pretty early in the evenings, and they're closed on Wednesdays.

We usually have our go to spots for Thai and Laos dishes but no where near us. First look in, at 8:30pm on a typical Saturday dinner night. Place was super packed. But the staff and service quickly took us in without any reservations. As foodies, we quickly asked the waitress what is their authentic dishes that they offer here. They advised us their Thai/Laos sausage. We also ended up ordering their naked chicken wings with the papaya salad. Fire super fire! We also order their Kha soup that went well with their fried basil seafood noodles! The ambience is classy casual just a good place to sit down with your family and have a very good Thai authentic meal! Hands-down, going to be back with the rest of the family!

Same type of dishes, but the quality of meat and veggies are better. Service has always been fast and efficient. They have a decent seating area if you want to eat in as well. Bao offers a wide variety of drinks as well like smoothies and boba. Going back to the food, anything that is breaded and fried tastes nice and crunchy. They don't over do it with the breading. For example the sweet and sour chicken and orange chicken which are common dishes that people order. I'd say they are great and tasty. Pricing is maybe a dollar or so above others at times but worth it for better quality. I have only tasted about 10 things so far and all have been great. I'd say the least appetizing would be the plain white rice that comes with some dishes. It always seen pretty dull and not fluffy but then again that is pretty much any Chinese place. It's always gets hard and when you reheat the next day it's not worth it. I use my own Jasmin rice instead. But other than that everything gets a thumbs up from me.
