This is the first time here and one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to. The other one was take out only, so we came here instead. As a last minute decision, they seated 5 of us! The place is in a strip mall but it’s big, spacious, plenty of tables and it’s clean! The service was good, but they served our meals as they were ready so we had to wait for all of us to have our dishes. That’s the only issue here. Staff were friendly and can’t complain about this healthy option of a restaurant. And yes my kids asked why we were going here to a mall when we pulled up, only to be amazed at the food inside…

Very good Thai food. So glad we stumbled on it. Surprisingly good Cocktails too ! Everything we ordered was of good standard ! Definitely on our list of good Thai places. Decor as expected standard strip mall restaurant style

Ive been going to this establishment for many years now, food is always great , owners are welcoming and will keep coming back. I quite dont understand low ratings from other people.

Amazing crispy sesame beef. Small, family run place on its last leg. Can't afford a dishwasher so they serve on Styrofoam plates. Go there before they shut down for good.

This new Sichuan stall in the International Food Court is hands down the star of the entire place. If you've never been, the place is totally unassuming—as with any authentic Chinese food court, it's not going to lure you in by the decor, and let's just say the English translations of the stall names are... interesting. In a place like this, the FOOD is everything! Each stall in this food court has a couple standout dishes—the roast duck at "Good Children" (roasted in-house) or the fried dough sticks with salted soy milk at "Chinese Cafe" (weekends only). But at this new Sichuan spot? EVERYTHING is good. I’ve lived in Hong Kong and visited Chengdu often. This is the most authentic Sichuan food I’ve had in the U.S.—better than anywhere in Chicago, including Chinatown. Here are some standouts: -Mapo Tofu: The *only* truly authentic Mapo Tofu I’ve had outside of Chengdu. They use real Sichuan doubanjiang (fermented chili bean paste), and it’s not just spicy—it’s ultra fragrant and tingly with Sichuan peppercorns. Really well balanced with layers of awesome flavors. -Mao Cai: What is Mao Cai? Think of it as "Hot Pot for One." The broth is loaded with tender beef, bouncy fish balls, and thick rice noodles that soak up all the tingling, umami-packed goodness. -Chongqing Soup Noodles: Most people probably go for "Sichuan Beef Noodles" due to familiarity (and they are great here), but the Chongqing Noodles are on another level. Bright, numbing, deeply flavorful, they rival the legendary beef noodle soup at "Katy’s Dumplings"—just a different style, with more tingle and pop. -Chongqing Noodle w/Pea & Meat Sauce: I'll admit, "Meat Sauce" isn't the most appetizing name. But you should order this. The "pea" here is actually "cowpea" and it's a classic Sichuan dry noodle dish-- like Dan Dan Noodle, but with more texture. -Pickled Fish Fillet: Classic Sichuan dish, also known as "Golden Fish Soup." Bright, slightly sour broth with a gentle heat that keeps it refreshing instead of heavy. -Zhong Dumplings: If you love thick-skinned, rustic, juicy Northern-style dumplings, these are legit. The chili oil, chopped peanuts, and green onions are perfect. -Steamed Pork Bao – Thick, chewy, like the skin of a weathered Tibetan grandpa's face (er, in a good way). Cold climate, working-man's food. This place has no right to be this good. It's the best Sichuan food in Chicagoland, hiding in a low-key food court in the western suburbs. Once people try it, it’s going to be the new Katy’s Dumplings, which is the highest endorsement I can give.

the restaurant is new and I am hoping this is to stay! The atmosphere is alright consider its just a food court and its truly a grandma type cooking they are very reasonable priced! A Sichuan beef noodles is only $11.95; they also offer one-person hot pot for only $16.95 it is a one-man or one-woman show; host, cook and services I don’t even eat spicy and we specify asked for mild/little, but still pretty spicy but it is a truly Sichuan style so we are not complaining! Although it is different style I would prefer this noodle over the one next store lol

I agree with the previous review. If I could post a NO STAR I would. The lady (owner) who are we kidding who takes the orders and is at the front pick up has the nastiest disposition, she is never nice or pleasant, NEVER!! 12.06.24 place an order at 4:15pm. Spent $45.00 on the order. Issue with this item: Large Shrimp Egg Foo Young (4 Pattie’s) was given only 3. Ordered Large shrimp fried rice with jumbo shrimp. There were only a few shrimp. Waste of money. I ate 1 on Friday my spouse ate 1/2 of one. 12.08.24 I’m heating up the food from Friday and I realize there is only 1 patty and the 1/2 left. They only gave me 3 Pattie’s. I called 12.06.24 at 12:15pm. I explain to her the situation and she starts arguing with me (of course I didn’t expect anything else from her). She had me text her a picture of the 1 and 1/2 Pattie’s. Arguing that I should have called on Friday. I told her that if I would have realized it on Friday I would have called then. This call was exhausting. I told her to forget it but that I was going to give her a bad review. She then started texting me back to back to back. I had to tell her to stop texting me and that I would never order from her again. You are supposed to make it right in the beginning of a complaint not at the end after you argued with the customer. If you want to avoid issues don’t order from Emperors Kitchen in Elmhurst, IL.

If I could leave no stars I would… the customer service here is poor… asked the lady how much was something she grabbed a pen and pointed directly at the menu so I asked her was she okay she just look… I don’t understand these businesses that come into neighborhoods and expect you to patronize them but yet they talk and treat you like nothing until you check them… please do better

I got stinky tofu and beancurd soup with peanut, yotiao, etc. they are really good price, but the food is not that good. The tofu is not stinky, not fermented, just regular deep fried tofu with sweet and spicy sauce on raw cabbage. The tofu flower is like jello, not really good either. It’s cheap enough so just grabbing a bite is fine. Oh yotiao is good guess you’re, at least! But the pig ears is really good, I would just get the small premade dishes and soymilk and yotiao next time!

Have been here for breakfast during weekend a couple times. Love the cold dishes, very flavorful and authentic Chinese taste. Also always order the beef noodle soup and the fried dough stick with soy milk. The downside is that sometimes the food quality seems varies. Sometime food tasted like it’s been there for a while. But it’s still a good Chinese breakfast place in Chicago area.

We order to go. We wanted lo mein but got something more like Mei fun. Skinny noodle instead of a fat noodle. Instead of a brown sauce it was a white sauce. Got the app platter, beef and pork was good. Crab ragoon ok, egg rolls disappointing The portions are very large.

The round sizzling tofu is delicious but other dishes I did not enjoy as much.We order often this tofu.

I ordered large pork fried rice and received a small pork fried rice. In addition the pork fried rice had very little pork and no vegetables that traditionally accompany ANY fried rice. See photos. I ordered a beef egg foo young and received what you could describe as a thimble of white rice to accompany it. I contacted the restaurant and was told the manager would call me back. 24 hours later I have yet to hear anything!

Food is great. Family has been going there for years. Spend hundreds per week. The gentleman always gives 2 cokes because we spend $50+ each time and pay cash. The lady does not provide this deal. She was rude when I asked her. Better off placing two separate orders for $21 each. Lost a long time customer over a can of coke and attitude.

Customer service is very good as usual. The gentleman that takes care of the front counter is always very hospital and generous. I personally go for the fried rice, and it is usually great quality consistently every time I order, and a fair price too in this economy. Would highly recommended this place!

The triple delight was good, plenty of white rice, generous sauces, fried vegetable was good. The sweet and sour chicken was gray meat, don't know if was dark meat, but not like s&s chicken is white meat. The s&s sour sauce had no pineapple, green peppers, tomatoes or cherries. Too blan. Will not order from them again!

A halal Indo Pak restaurant in Villa park area. We had dinner there and food is average. I felt the price is higher with the food quality and quantity. The restaurant has wide variety of menu and most were available. It’s a very good place for big groups and parties as well. Staffs were friendly

October 2024 | Saturday Nihari 2/10. Totally bland. Chicken corn soup 7/10 Would I recommend Nihari? No Update: Review stays. Mentioned this to Manager and staff member. No action was taken during our time on-site.

Excellent Food Their egg rolls are the BOMB!!! And I don't eat them often probably because I never had a good one until NOW! Service was great very quick to pick up. Beef and broccoli and beef fried rice and crab Ragoons are fantastic!

Food was a bit bland. Got the Mongolian beef & it had a lot of vegetables in it…. Mushrooms, corn, etc - Never had that before. Was not what we expected.. Otherwise it was okay.

I love panda express I try to come as often as possible. One of the main foods that I like is king pao chicken and also Beijing beef. One ball surprise for me cause I’m not a very big person, but sometimes I order the plate. Thank you, panda express for been there for me.

It’s second time when I got different order then I wanted to. 2 entrees instead of 3, when I paid for 3, mixed sides when I wanted just chow mein.

Great tasting food that is not too expensive. Quick service. Just gotta remember that they only take cash.

Wing Hing is one of the best underrated Chinese places in the area. I have a hard time getting comparable Chinese food anywhere else as the food preparation here is very flavorful, tasty and savory. The portions are very generous and the prices are low. The Spicy Mongolian Beef, Orange Chicken, and Shrimp Lo Mein are some of my favorites, along with the extra crispy Crab Rangoons and delicious Won-Ton soup. The owners are really friendly and have been in business for a long time. I have been coming here for over a decade and anyone I bring to try it out has agreed that the taste is superb. Cash Only
