There’s Not Too Many Good Suburb Chinese Take-Out Restaurants. This One Is Actually Pretty Good As Far As Pricing && Taste. I Ordered The L-08 Sweet and Sour Chicken Lunch Special with My Rice Fried Spicy && the Sweet n’ Sour Sauce Placed On The Side. The Portions Are A Good Size For All (Chicken, Rice, && Sauce). Everything Was Fresh n’ Hot. As Far As Customer Service, The Lady Who Answered My Call && Prepared My Order Upon Arrival Was Quiet Yet Pleasant. Everything In My Order Was Correct && Prepped The Way I Requested It. As For Atmosphere, It’s Very Clean && Quiet. You Can Only Here The Clicking n’ Clacking of The Pots && Pans. There is Only Seating Available To Wait For Your Food && No Options To Dine In. Which Is Okay Because I’d Still Order From Here Again.

This is a unique Chinese carry out restaurant. They typically have large portions and are quick to prepare your meal. I used to sell at an indoor flea market, and one of the vendors told me about this place. I used to go here every weekend to get dinner on the way home. This visit, I got shrimp and lobster sauce for lunch, and it was good. Most of the time the meals are really decent. There are some consistency issues depending on who cooks, but I still recommend trying them out. They have larger portions for the lunch deals than most Chinese restaurants. They also have a decent sized menu.

I love thier food and visited them so many times mainly for lunch. Beef with broccoli, Beef with tomate & green peppers, Mongolian beef, Hong sue shrimp, Mapo tofu over rice, Mapo tofe noodle soup etc. etc. are really good. The original owner, a super friendly Chinese family, gave up the restaurant a while ago, but glad that the good taste was kept.

For the daily lunch menu that launched recently, everything was great!! Prices could not be beaten for the lunch portion of food and drink all under $10 before taxes and tips. If you're someone who needs a wholesome meal portion, you probably will fill the full menu a better option. You'll find a variety of options under $8, $9 and $10. Drinks are on the smaller side but nonetheless, a satisfying food and drink combo. Note that there's add ons if you switch from hot to cold drinks, for example. But no additional charges if you prefer to switch from eggs noodles to flat/other noodles. All charges/non-charges are noted on menus.

Always passed here, always wanted to try the food! Rocco Vinos did not disappoint! Brilliant atmosphere, Xmas music in the background, and incredible foods and fine wines!! We tried the spaghetti, toasted ravioli and chicken and had wonderful service! Also the minestrone and mushroom soups! Great gluten free options as well which plays a big role in our family now! Thanks for an amazing night!!

We had the pleasure of dining here causally with a small child on a busy Saturday night before Chrismas, and it was an experience to remember. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The bread service and appetizers were so delightful and satisfying that we barely had room for the main course! The portions were generous, and the flavors were exceptional. Our pizzas ended up coming home with us—a bonus treat for the next day! We opted for ice cream as a final treat. As a special touch, we were thrilled to see a familiar face: Nessimo, the beloved local personality and former Millie’s assistant, who’s now part of the team here. His friendly presence alone is worth the visit and extra special service. We’ll be back for sure—next time, maybe with a little more room for those delicious pizzas.

Took a friend here tonight to give it a try. We ordered the loaded burrito and regular burrito. Not only was the burrito tiny but there was literally almost 0 steak. I'm not surprised this place is dead and they don't even serve complimentary chips which literally cost .50 cents 😆 yeah if you're looking for great Mexican food free chips and huge portions go to Sammies in Elgin. Why is Sammie's packed wall to wall? Because the portions are huge for the same price as Maria's mini burrito 😆. I won't be going back.

I throughly enjoyed this place! First off, Blanca the waitress greeted us as soon as we walked in and seated us in a booth right away. This place is attached to a Hot Pot restaurant so she asked before seating us which one we were here for (had no idea that the restaurants actually have a space open that connects the two). Service was great - Blanca was on top of everything! She informed us that the restaurant was under new management and that the current menu didn’t have the full selection that it would have on the menu being delivered Saturday but that they already had all the items they could cook. She suggested things like enchiladas, mole, carne asada, and other items. Hubby went with the carne asada which he said was the best he’s had - cooked a perfect medium rare. I had the chicken enchiladas in green sauce and YUM! Tortillas were packed with chicken and the chicken had a good amount of flavor. I also really enjoyed the rice. We also got the churros and it was the perfect ending to a really great meal and time here. We will definitely be back!

UPDATE: 12/24 Totally disappointed! So, I am changing the stars to 2/5. Overall experience went down. New and stricter policy: Only 90 minutes to eat in the restaurant, buffet style self service (making the veggies and meat unlikely fresh- I don’t know how long it has been sitting there), new charges for most of the appetizers, and unfriendly staff. What was sad of this visit is the server refusing to serve us our soup and to start our buffet because he wants us to wait for all our friends to arrive. The restaurant was not even half full and we were super hungry. We waited for about 40-45 minutes before we politely asked to be served and start the 90-minute rule. They add gratuity to group of 4 and more. Make sure to check your receipt. It’s still $27.99 without drinks so about $36 total per person. I don’t think I will go back again. Need to find another hotpot place. *********My number 1 hot pot spot! I have been here several times and my friends and I still keep going there! It is usually empty at noon/lunch and you basically have the place yourself. It gets busier in the late afternoon to around 7 PM. It is around $27 per person but comes with unlimited meat, veggies, and soup mix. ALL YOU CAN EAT! You have to pay for the drinks. We usually get the best of both worlds soup and it is a mixture of the original and spicy soup. I love to add their thinly sliced marbled beef, mussels, shrimps (fresh!), fish and shrimp balls, quail eggs, napa cabbage, and bokchoy! I also never forget to order the amazing cucumber salad and the delicious fried bun. We mix our sauce the way the like it and usually consist of garlic, soysauce, chili, and chives. I would surely recommend this place.

It’s only a buffet style but they show full menu I don’t think you should be forced to eat buffet if that wasn’t your choice plus when you see your receipt there is a gratuity already added to the meal so please don’t tip twice! No one was in there we came when it first opened so everything was fresh. The service was ok but I won’t be back

I recently ordered catering for a party of 50 people and was thoroughly impressed with the quality and service. The vegetarian menu was exceptionally well-prepared, offering a wide variety of flavorful dishes that catered to every taste. From the vibrant starters to the hearty main courses and decadent desserts, everything was fresh and beautifully presented. The flavors were authentic and satisfying, earning compliments from all my guests—even the non-vegetarians in the group! The portions were generous, and the team ensured the food was delivered on time and at the perfect temperature. Their attention to detail and professionalism made the entire experience seamless. I highly recommend this catering service for anyone looking for outstanding vegetarian food for any occasion. They truly exceeded my expectations!

I have been eating there for the last 14 months and have never experienced anything but excellent food and great dine in service. When I request my food extra spicy (like Thai places over the Lincoln tunnel) I get exactly what I asked for. Also, they have the best food I've eaten in all of North Chicago. I recommend either the lamb or goat curry.
