My Mom and I were looking for a new (new to us) Chinese-American restaurant. Palace Cantonese surpassed all expectations. Every plate we had was delicious and food was hot. The service by Calvin was outstanding. We entered the restaurant and were the only ones during this late lunch time. We sat in the comfortable and cozy booth (firm for what my back needs). Right away, Calvin brought delicious hot tea and water. The Fried Won Ton, which is hard to find without meat, was perfectly fried, not soggy. The cup of egg drop soup was a generous portion, more like a medium bowl. The veggie egg rolls were large and tasty. The Chicken Szechuan, was like a kung pao chicken and very flavorful. I loved the touch from Calvin bringing extra peanuts without us asking. He also asked if we needed more tea even though our steel carafe was half full. At similar restaurants, I’ve not seen that service. The final touch was receiving 2 almond cookies (plus fortune cookies), which my Mom and I love. It’s my new favorite restaurant which I will be patronizing every time I’m in Chicago.

This little, tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant with a boarded up front window is incredible. I’ve eaten there probably 10 times now waiting to find something to complain about and besides the discomfort of my back in their booths I have nothing bad to say. Their food is incredible and consistent. The egg roll are top notch, the sweet sauce is delightful, the hot and sour soup is amazing and the won ton soup is tasty. The bbq ribs are so so good. Nice and tangy. Then the Beef and peapods never disappoints, the Mongolian Shrimp is just right and the Empress Chicken with pan fried noodles is scrumptious. There’s never anyone in there when my husband and I are there…I don’t know why. The food is great!!

Here’s the instructions on how to eat there. First, I would call 1-2 days prior to coming. Just let them know you plan on coming with x amount of people at this specific time. They will take note. Next, call on the day of. I just called them an hour after they opened and confirmed that my group of x amount of people will arrive at this time. They said they will see me then. Simple. When you arrive, they have free street parking in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is not huge, they do have some limited seating if it does get busy. The restaurant is family owned. The mom was serving us. I believe she helps with her husband and daughter in the back. All of the food is made fresh. It’s like eating at someone’s house with a nice home cooked meal. Portion sizes were generous. Prices are cheap for what you receive. This is my second time eating Mongolian food. First was at Arvin in Niles. You also get complimentary milk tea. Mongolian milk tea is more salty than ones in your typical Asian restaurant. Here is that we ordered: -khuushuur (beef pastry) 5 - kind of like an empanada with beef inside. It’s juicy too so be careful when taking the first bite. It’s very hot. -glass noodle stir fry 5 - kind of like japchae. Noodles are thin with a variety of ingredients. -dumpling soup 5 - heart soup. There is some bread that you can use to dip. As shown in the picture, a generous amount of dumplings, meat, and veggies. -tsuivan (noodles stir fry) 5 - this is another must when ordering Mongolian food here. Noodles are on the thicker side with slight chew. Well balanced with meat and veggies. -lamb rib soup 5 - one of the favorites. The meat is perfectly cooked. Noodles were chewy but not too much. Good soup for any occasion. -buuz (dumplings) 5 - skin is thicker. Meat inside is succulent and not dry. Very flavorful. This and the khuushuur are musts when coming here.

Back again after a very long time, and it was just as wonderful as the last time. Deliciousness all around❤️. Food made with love. Begin original post: The father and daughter team are amazing. They cook from the heart. Everything was made to order and delicious. We can't wait to go back. A true gem 💎.

I love this place. I’m not sure why some of the people complaining get the most basic dishes ever. Chicken or shrimp fried rice? Kung pao beef? Boring! Their menu is enormous with a variety of dishes. Be a little adventurous and try something new. They have Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean. They also have boba tea and smoothies. Service was good, they were pleasant and we got our food fast. They also have sufficient seating for dining in. They have mammoth portion sizes so you’ll have leftovers to take home. The prices are very reasonable since you’ll have leftovers to take to work. It’s located by a Jewel so plenty of parking available. -pumpkin fried with salty egg 4 - first time trying this. I would recommend eating this with rice, that way the rice can help soak up some of that salt. -fish sauce chicken wings 5/5 - chicken was big and juicy. Fish sauce was a little subtle. I would have liked to have it more prominent. -sea eel and shrimp fried rice 5/5 - eel is cut into small pieces but good size shrimp. Fried rice had the right balance of flavor. -beef cubes with tomato rice 5/5 - large pieces of beef, fresh tomatoes, and rice was well seasoned.

I ordered veggie japchae, kimchi, and Korean veggie dumplings for pickup. The food came out fast and hot, fresh, and yummy. I really liked the japchae. The dumplings were deep fried which I was not expecting, I thought they'd be pan fried, but they were tasty. I'd come back here to try their other items.

Our Thai go-to! Will keep coming back to this place, even after moving out of the area. I always get chicken pad see ewe, Siam crab Rangoon, papaya salad and chicken satay and it never disappoints. We live in the city now and I have been looking for something that comes close to Sri Siam but it’s just the best. Service is ALWAYS 10/10, I cannot say anything bad about their staff. The prices are great too! Highly recommend!

Overall this is a good casual Asian restaurant. I don’t know about authenticity foods are good and reasonably priced, and servers are friendly.

Kyoto Garden was overall an enjoyable sushi night for us. The Poke Salad was well sized for two people & everything tasted very fresh. A very minor complaint is that the dressing was a bit watery & as such all resided in the bottom of bowl versus spread all over the various ingredients. The sushi rolls were good. Once again, a minor complaint, it would have been nicer if a bit more of the unique sauces central to each one was used or present on the plate. Presentation was good, flavor was good, & service was good. The only thing I can't recommend is an Old Fashioned cocktail, the drink showed up nearly clear & no where near how an Old Fashioned should taste. We will most likely visit Kyoto Garden again and hopefully, they will have perfected their art in all forms. Overall, I'd say 4.5 stars & very close to the last .5 if they can perfect the tiny flaws.

The service was so friendly and excellent! The food... pretty stellar, what we had. So fresh, so crispy, creamy, flavorful, and completely mouthwatering.

Went to the Valley Lodge Tavern. We ordered some very nice drinks. Martini was well made. My wife enjoyed her wine. The waitress was welcoming and very nice. Great place for drinks. Sadly, I have to say the food was substandard. My friend ordered the Shrimp Scampi and I ordered the ribs. Note: we were very surprised at how small the order of pasta was that came with the Shrimp Scampi. It seems like a side dish. Also the food had very little taste and seemed overcooked and kind of rubbery, especially ribs. Might want to talk to the cooks on that... However, the waitress was outstanding. Lastly, the atmosphere was wonderful, people seem very happy to be there.

It’s was a cool spot. The food was great. I had their salad paired with a red wine of theirs. Severs were on it. The semi-outdoor seating was nice and then I spent some time at the bar. Great service there too.

Nov 24 2024, I’m searching for some good Chinese places nearby after my dash, and this restaurant was nearby and I’m starving crazyyy. So, I ordered chicken fried rice and an egg roll (classic combination). And then I went to the woods nearby to have my lunch. The food is good, why I’m saying this is because when you eat some good food cooked good to its maximum capacity, you’ll really feel the first burp. Good experience 👍😊 Complementing the chef with my empty bowl ….., thank you 🙏

The food was thrown together. The rice was missing all the regular ingredients. No eggs, no bean sprouts , no green onion. The cut up yellow onions very big. It was chicken fried rice, all the chicken was on 1 side. The fried chicken was brick hard and the crab Rangoon was horrible. The egg roll was the only good part of the entire lunch special. Oh the beef satay was extremely tough and chewy. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!!!
