This place is Fire! The skirt steak was cooked to perfection and flavorful. The “Sammys” Asada and chorizo burrito did not disappoint! Great service and drinks that hit the spot! We will be back!👍

Being on the road we never know what we will get food wise. This was an unexpected fantastic find. Huge fajitas, enough for 2. Dessert was fried ice cream and again enough for two. We were seated immediately and our server was at our table quickly. After we ordered the food was there promptly.

We were looking online for a Chinese buffet and decided to try Elgin Buffet.It was our first time eating here.There was 5 of us and we all enjoyed the variety of different foods. The food was delicious and fresh.I didn't see any empty pans.They were always filled. The manager was very kind .The service was very good,as our dirty plates were removed from our table promptly.I would have to say this was our favorite Chinese buffet in the area and we will definitely be coming back.

Most sauces and seemed watered down or lacking flavor. We were there while it was busy, so food was continuously replaced. There is a large selection of seafood. I can't personally comment on it, but I was told it was just ok. The space is small and a little dark, but our large table was sat fairly quickly. Plates were picked up frequently.

This is a hole in the wall contender with great food and right next to some roach motel. Came here on a Saturday and not dissuaded by the lack of crowd. Ordered the pasteles aka Puerto Rican tamale. First time experiencing it but enjoyed the interesting savory flavor and texture. Also ordered tostones as an appetizer. The tostones do not appear pounded like the ones I’ve had at other places. But they were nonetheless tasty. The other dishes we ordered were steak jibarito and shrimp mofongo. The jibarito was good compared to others I’ve had but the rice that came with it was pretty dry. The mofongo came shaped as a bowl with shrimp and gravy. The shrimps were as small as they can get and was a bit heavy on the sodium. Overall, the food was tasty, affordably priced and comforting. The downside was the cold temperature of the interior that made it uncomfortable to dine. We’ll probably come again when the weather warms up and try the many other interesting dishes this place has to offer.

The rice was raw and had no flavor, the mofongo is not very good , very small shrimp and it was more broth than shrimp, the truth was a very disappointed!!! But the surtido are very good 👍 I don’t know what happens,they was one of the best boricua restaurants

I found this place last week and ordered the Beef & Broccoli. It was delicious! The beef was tender, and I don't know how they do that. I ordered from them three more times last week, and they're consistent—each time, the food was just as delicious. Tonight, I stopped by on my way to work and ordered the Beef Chop Suey (see pic). It tasted just like the chop suey I used to get as a kid growing up in Addison, IL. There was a place on the corner of Mill & Lake, next to Milly's Pancake House. Anyway, I ordered the small size, but it’s a full plate, and there was more in the container. The price is very reasonable too. You can go to that fast food place with the girl with the pigtails, get a single, fries, and a drink, and it costs more than this. This place is awesome! Fyi: I've order the Beef & Broccoli twice and Beef Chop Suey 3 times. I'm curious about the Szechuan Beef, however. I'm a simple man.

Quick takeout. Don't do it often but it happens with kids... Food is not bad. Interesting part is they sell pottery, chairs, and furniture.....

I ordered delivery from here for the first time tonight, Egg Rolls and a Curry Chicken. In the notes, I requested extra hot mustard packets and no sweet & sour or soy sauce packets. When I opened my delivery, I saw this note on multiple receipts, but there were no packets of hot mustard at all. I was really disappointed but thought maybe it was just an overlooked request. Then I opened my Curry Chicken and was shocked. The menu states the entree comes with a curry sauce, potato, carrot, and onion, but the "potato" in my meal was all french fries! Using frozen french fries changes the texture and taste of this meal, making it absolutely disgusting. This kind of lack of respect for the food they're serving is shameful. I recommend staying away from this establishment.

The food really really good.! Food was hot at delivery.

In 1 word, it was lackluster. I got the 10oz sirloin with a salad and fries. The salad was very basic, it looked like it was out of a bag from the grocery store. The steak was a good size and cooked to my liking but was very bland. I've had better and cheaper from other places. The price is not worth the quality you get. The service was great so they have 1 thing going for them.

Food was a litter over priced for how well it was cooked. Don't get me wrong it was a good steak but it lacked a little seasoning and it was over $45. I got the rib eye and a baked potato. The service was good but a little slow. My server seemed to disappear at times and the process from menu - Drink -order- was the slowest part. Probably will visit again but it didn't blow my mind.

Pizza is always great. Best bacon around.

1st time eating here got my order to go since it was after a basketball game. Food was delicious the employees were so nice and they offered a coupon right away to help save money. Wouldn't definitely recommend this place

AVOID this restaurant at all costs. It was our first time going there and we will never ever go there again. The egg rolls were sour and had an unpleasant taste. The broth of the wonton soup was overly salted, and tasted like it came out of a can. We ordered three soups, and all of them were also only 2/3 full. The rice was yellow Spanish rice, not fried rice, and was undercooked and actually crunchy. We later noticed that a few other reviewers said the same thing. Please see the pictures below. In addition, after spending over $40, I asked for my free item, as the menu states, and the woman at the counter told me I could get that next time. That is not honest. There will not be a next time. We do not like to give bad reviews but in this case we have no choice.

I wanted to love this, unfortunately the food was not up to par. The Crab Rangoon’s were stale. The Mongolian beef was 80% mushroom, 10% onion & 10% beef. The only thing keeping it away from a 1 star was the chicken fried rice had good flavors.

I honestly don’t know why this place doesn’t have greater reviews! The food is AMAZING. Not too heavy or oily, so fresh & flavorful. The boiled fish I had fell apart- so tender & moist, the vegetables were cooked perfectly- not at all mushy but not too crisp & the sauce that came with the egg rolls was light- not sticky sweet like the majority of sweet ‘n sour sauces that usually come with your appetizer. The hot jasmine tea was the perfect way to relax while we shortly waited for our food. Officially my new go to place even though I live 30 mins away!

Everything we ordered was spectacular, we also ordered the chicken wings and the beef pad see ew. It’s a little divey inside, but we will drive the 30 minutes to eat here again no problem. Just know that if something claims to be spicy on the menu, they mean it.

Four words: Deep Fried Monte Cristo. It’s here. It’s glorious. Just like you remember. Also the rest of the food is very good, had the chicken strips, Mac and cheese. Definitely coming back to try the Steak and Ale special menu items. Our waiter was great, even the bus boy was very helpful. Great job keeping the legacy alive!!

Food was great but service could use a little tweeking.

It was bad 👎. We need a good Chinese restaurant here on the East side of Elgin. Got their menu in the mail advertising 30 years in business. So we thought we'd support this business. We ordered King Pao Chicken which was bland with big chunks of vegetables. The pork fried rice had blobs of white dough? or fat? mixed in. It was awful!!!! We ordered other stuff and everything was barely edible. Big sad fail!

Decided to try them cause it's close to home. Ordered one of their "specialty" dishes the spicy curry beef. It had no taste. The beef fried rice had little to no beef. Spent over $50 on mu families dinner and we threw it all out.

First time here and won't be the last! Pleasant, and friendly service, welcoming in today's hurry up world! Food was outstanding especially the fried rice and shrimp and fried rice and chicken combo. Was looking for a good Chinese restaurant. They have my vote, stop by and order, you won't be disappointed!!! Bernie Andersen

Very amazing and kind owners, delicious food, and lots of different vegetarian options! The menu is so large, and every dish always has so much flavor. This restaurant has something for everyone, you won’t be disappointed if you order from here!
