    Vegetable Delight
    Steve A.

    A basic looking and tasting Chinese restaurant is in Buffalo Grove. It certainly isn't anything special but it's reliable. New Golden Dragon is one of the many Americanized Chinese restaurants in the strip malls you can find with many of the same favorites you can get at these. Fairly good prices. They also have a list of lunch specials. I picked something here up for lunch. Quite a few people were here to pick up their orders and there were a few others dining inside which has plenty of tables. The worker at the front was also taking calls so placing an order was a little bit of a wait. Had time to look at the menu. They have quite a few of cheaper lunch specials. I had the Vegetable Delight. It's $8.59 for vegetables and rice. Then I added is a couple extra bucks for tofu. Still okay prices and came out fast. The tofu was kind of bad and mushy. Certainly it's not at all bad. It's mostly kind of above average in the quality. There's much better places than here but this will do for a quick meal though.

    Food is hot, fresh, but take a while for the food. It was pretty good. Waitress are so friendly.

    Fried rice

    I ordered the fried rice just to see if the restaurant was worth buying from and it literally came white..... and bland as if there was no attention paid to my meal.... Disgusting will not be eating here again. Worst Chinese I've ever had hands down these people are pathetic.

    Their pork fried rice is incredible and they pack so much in the container. Talk about bang for your buck!

    When the order arrived the egg rolls were missing. I was looking forward to the egg rolls and it kind of put a damper on the whole meal.

To clear things up about their dining area, they have 2 small tables outside and 1 small and 2 big tables inside. Small tables - 2 chairs. Big tables - 4 chairs. On weekdays, you don't need to make a reservation. On the weekends due to their limited dine in area, I would recommend a reservation to be safe. You can make a reservation through Google/Yelp or phone call. Parking is easy since it's in a strip mall. There is also a 3% charge if you use plastic. Just a note, I tried looking at their food pictures on their website, but it kind of runs slow. Sometimes it would freeze. I think they need to fix it. I would return here to try other items. I would highly recommend ordering off their Malaysian menu instead of the miscellaneous. Don't order orange chicken or General Tao's chicken. Very cringe because you can get that literally anywhere. Get the Malaysian food because it's hard to find in Illinois. The owner is very sweet and the service is attentive. We ordered lor bak, nasi lemak, Hainanese chicken rice, hokkien mee, and kuih talam. Just a FYI, the portions are very generous. For 2 people, I would recommend ordering 2 dishes. Prices are reasonable for what you get. A pot of tea is $6. -lor bak 5 - I highly recommend this appetizer. It has crispy pork sausage with shrimp fritters, beancurd, and cucumber. It comes with two sauces. Everything was delicious. -nasi lemak 5 - I love the chicken rendang. The meat is very tender and it has a deep flavor. You can taste the spices that went into it. -Hainanese chicken rice 3.5 - I gave Penang Malaysian Cuisine a 4 because the rice was delicious. HD's version, the rice was not as moist and flavorful. The chicken was not bad, it's about the same as Penang's. It could be a bit more succulent without the sauces. -hokkien mee 4 - this won't be as tasty as in Malaysia. I liked the big pieces of shrimp, an adequate amount of sliced pork and hard boiled egg. The broth is still very good. If it's your first time having this, I still recommend it. -kuih talam 5 - I would suggest this if you like pandan. It's not sweet. It has a soft and bouncy texture.

I asked for shrimp with garlic sauce but received chicken with garlic sauce instead -- and honestly, it was still amazing. The fried rice wasn't my favorite, and the egg roll was just okay, but overall it was a great experience. This past Thursday, February 19, I decided to order online while on break. I placed my order at 6:05 PM and didn't receive it until 6:55 PM. Unfortunately, the food wasn't quite worth the hour wait. I ordered the chicken wings as an appetizer -- and whatever sauce they use should honestly be bottled and sold because it's that good. For my entrée, I got the Happy Meal (fried shrimp, chicken, and beef with white rice). It came with two free egg rolls since I spent over $20, which was a nice bonus. That said, this particular dish lacked a bit of flavor, and the sweet-and-sour sauce wasn't great. I was definitely disappointed in the wait time during dinner hours. I'll most likely be back, but probably not at peak dinner time -- and I'll be trying something different next time. As for ambience and waiting, make sure your phone is charged because for my wait, the TV was just on standby mode.

I'd probably come back to try something else on the menu, but I don't see myself spending $27 on another meal here.

We've frequented this restaurant for many years, have referred several friends to Yan Yan's and were initially pleased when the new owners took over and maintained the original recipes and portion sizes. We've ordered our $200+ chinese food Christmas buffet from this restaurant for many years and were shocked at how small the "Large" sized entrées were. We called immediately to make the staff aware, thinking there was an error when filling the order and were told we received correct sized portions. I'm happy to report the Manager did eventually agree to replace the 3 entrees we indicated were undersized portions; however, maintained their position that the portions we received were their standard sizes. Their lunch specials are ample-sized and always taste fresh; however, we would not order takeout or large catering orders in the future.
