    Crab rangoon and eggroll
    Maggie M.

    Think I found my new Chinese Takeout. Had the lunch special and you get a good amount for just $8.50. Was my lunch for 2 days. I picked Kung Pao Chicken with fried rice. It wasn't spicy to me, so maybe next time I'll ask for extra spicy. But the flavors were great. Wasn't very salty, so I didn't have that dehydrated feeling afterwards. Was piping hot when I got it. Also had ordered crab rangoon and eggroll to try. Crab rangoon was crispy outside and a good amount of filling inside. The eggroll were pretty big too and to me it taste the same as all other eggrolls. So I'll probably just get the crab rangoon again next time for an appetizer.

    Kung Pao Vegetables And Tofu
    Steve A.

    Big portions at pretty good prices which is a rarity around here. It has some lunch specials so you can save even more. New Wok is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Naperville. Certainly it's one of the cheapest. This is only for takeout. I picked up an order at lunch. Look at the lunch specials and you'll find some great savings. The one I got was the Kung Pao Vegetables. It's $6.95 for the lunch special, which comes with an egg roll, which I gave to my female friend as we shared the meal. Tofu doesn't come with this but it's added for a couple bucks to make it $9.20 or so. It's still a good price for the big portion. There was so much some had to be put in one of those paper takeout containers too. It had a good spice to it. The tofu was too soft for my liking but it and everything else was better than just okay. Good prices for how much they give. It's quite a value for a few bucks at lunch. This is a very small place so it's only for takeout.

    Egg Roll Party Tray BE10. Mongolian Beef

    The Mongolian beef was tender, and perfectly flavored. The egg rolls were crispy and packed with delicious filling. Both dishes were a hit at our gathering, and everyone kept asking where we got the food from. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was delivered hot and fresh. I highly recommend this place for their excellent food and great service!

    3/17/2024 UPDATE: Can confirm they are open again. Hours are the same as what is listed in Yelp. Online ordering not active yet. Ordered by phone and picked up 15 minutes later. Food was good enough for me to leave my five star rating How do we get the store marked open again?

    The food wasn't bad, but it's not anything I'd come back for. The egg rolls were spot on and I would get crab rangoon.

I ordered online for carry out and the platform was easy to navigate. Once my husband and I arrived at the resto we were greeted by a very kind staff member. Our food wasn't ready but within 5 mins of us being there it was good to go. We tried the wonton soup and chicken dumplings app. Both were on the bland side. Normally I'm used to wonton soup also having noodles and theirs does not. Flavors were OK, felt like both dishes were missing spices. Everything was cooked perfectly though. Maybe we ordered the wrong items from here and need to try others instead.

In my experience, this signifies either the place was going to be a shithole to pass up, or it was a serious place to eat, then get out and go somewhere with an atmosphere. Happy to say J's (IMHO) is a serious place to eat. No-nonsense, direct and to the point. When I walked in, all those common chairs I mentioned were stacked upside down on the tables in the way that places do when they are closed. The taciturn fellow who worked there assured me they were indeed open, and explained they had just finish washing the floor. Please dont read any of this as negative-the best Chinese places I've ever been have looked like this-and if you've paid attention to the Travel/Food shows on the TeeVee, the joints in China itself are pretty much the same. On to the food, know this place is a Serious REAL-DEAL Chinese resto. I didn't notice if there were "Occidental" Chinese-type dishes on the carte, (primarily 'cos I wasn't looking for them). What I saw looked yum, and had a hard time making choices, even though I had read the menu multiple times and thought I know what I was going to order in advance. Confessionately, this is a chief feature for my tortured dining self-It's a wonder I even get fed in restaurants (especially the great ethnic ones), due to option anxiety. I zeroed in on "Street Noodles" for starters-wouldn't you? Then went to "Cold Beef Shank" for entreé. The Noodles were fab as was the Shank. The noodles were in a broth. with some hunks of bok choy and ground meat on top. Hearty, still light. The shank had a thin sauce complimenting but not obscuring the beefiness. One bugaboo: the Shank needed a bit of seasoning, and I wasn't going to use soy sauce, as I believed that would have marred the subtle flavors of the Beef. I asked for a salt shaker. It arrived, and I was a little taken back, 'cos it appeared it hadn't been washed in a while, and the salt inside was caked. It occurred to me this condition was present due to the non-use of said shaker. I don't think I've ever asked for a salt shaker in a Chinese resto. I pulled a toothpick out of my "Murse" and broke up the caked NaCl. Applying same to the pieces of Shank, the flavor bloomed and I was a happy boy. Bring some salt packets along when you visit "J's", maybe. The fellow who was waiter and cashier was a "western" fellow, whom I engaged and turned out to be quite an experienced foodie. some pleasant conversation indeed.

The eggs rolls had very little inside them, but were pleasant enough fried dough. All of the chicken dishes seem to have a pressed chicken--not sliced or real chicken. Pleasant enough, but kind of strange. The Almond Ding had separate almonds, which was nice and Chick with peadpods appeared to have a little bit of real mushrooms and some real pea pods in it--but they lacked fresh flavor. The sauce is very bland, and kind of like a globby-like texture. There's a lack of any Chinese vegetables. No Bok Choy, no bamboo shoots, very few water chestnuts, no green pepper. Just tons of pressed chicken, and a bland white sauce. My husband's Orange Chicken was supposed to be hot but was not. It was pleasant but same pressed chicken now breaded (much better cover for pressed chicken). Lack of veggies in all the dishes. Would we go back? Probably not. Ended up throwing half of it away. Honestly, Panda Express is probably just as good which is kind of sad.

This place is kind of hidden because it's located in a crappy building with a parking lot that makes it hard to get to. Came in and it wasn't busy. We were about the only ones in there. It's about $11 for a lunch special, which includes soup. This isn't that great of a special if you don't want the soup though. Has a lot of choices. The best one obviously has to be Mapo Tofu. Of course it's the signature item. This is soft tofu in a spicy sauce along with some onions and peppers. For sure it's pretty good even though it's not all authentic. It's located close to the H Mart. There's a few things for vegans and vegetarians.
