Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Just witnessed instant karma at its best unfold right before me at this place!! The girl at the front desk was rude and very unpleasant with myself and the guy that came in behind me. Regardless to language barriers that exist in our world, friendly customer service goes a long way. As I waited she called someone who had placed a big order that she was bagging, and suddenly she yells at them saying that if they were going to cancel the order they should have called and she slammed the receiver down. They probably cancelled the order because they found a better spot with better food and better service! No wonder the place is always empty. First visit was over a year ago, this second visit is DEFINATELY my last.

We were looking for a new chinese food place nearby after having some less than nice experiences at the ones we've tried. I had remembered someone talking about this place before, so we decided to try them out, AND they deliver to our house - score! The Egg Drop Soup and Hot and Sour Soup were awesome. I normally hate hot and sour soup, but there's something about babybaking that makes me just love the hell out of it. My daughter loved the egg drop soup and scarfed it. I was really surprised when we ordered the Chicken and Mixed vegetables and the sauce actually tasted like something. That's how I knew we had ordered from the place right by us for too long. Sauces are actually supposed to TASTE like things, craziness! The man got mongolian beef and he dug it, said it reheated well the next day too when he brought it for lunch. I was all about the Chicken Fried Rice and Crab Rangoon. The insides are cream cheesy, but they taste good, and the outside is golden, crispy, and goood. This place had better food than the place right by our house, and the prices were much better. We'll definitely be ordering from here again. I'm sure i'll be craving the hot and sour soup soon enough. Delivery was nice and speedy, too. Which is good, because I get ravenous and grumpy. You do not want to see a ravenous, angry pregnant irish woman. You just don't, man.

I like this little restaurant. Great for carry out with their General TSO's chicken my favorite with a kick. Do wish they offered more small sizes as most dinners come in large only which will feed two. Employees always polite. Items are priced well . Restaurant is Located in small strip mall, west of Gary Ave. on Army Trail road.

We ordered food the other day and the next day I brought my leftovers to work. As I am eating my food I look and it's a nasty course hair. About an inch and a half long wrapped around my chicken piece! It had a wave to it. It was disgusting! I threw out everything and almost threw up! I am so grossed out, that I will never ever order food from there!

I'm pretty indifferent about this place. Its basically a tiny notch above panda express. The biggest plus about this place is the speed in which they churn out the food. My orders usually take about 4-6 minutes to be ready. That is pretty damn impressive even for chinese take out. Quality is a mixed bag some things are good, some aren't. So far I had the: Fried Potstickers (Around 5 bucks): these things are awful and I'm pretty sure they are frozen store bought. Small Szechuan Beef($7.00): It tastes like a spicy sweet and sour beef. They should rename it Szechuan vegetables with Beef because its mostly vegetables. Beef Chow fun($10.00): Not too bad, but still needs more meat. Considering the time it takes to finish an order. I would definitely put this in the fast food category so compared to KFC or McDonalds or BK, this place is pretty darn good. Also the atmosphere has a chain restaurant feel. They clearly hired some marketing people to decorate and design the interior. Its a nice touch.

Mr. Wok is a small Chinese and Thai restaurant located on Army Trail Road in Carol Stream. When you step inside there's a few tables to sit and eat at, a large menu board directly above the counter, and a soda fountain. In visiting Mr. Wok I decided to try a few different items. General Tso's chicken, pot stickers, crab rangoon and the fried rice that came with the chicken. My overall opinion is that the food is average. The general tso's chicken wasn't very spicy and was more sweet. It had a good flavor and I'd eat it again. The fried rice with the chicken was pretty good though a bit cold. The crab rangoons were mostly cream cheese and weren't the best I've had, but were decent. The pot stickers were a bit of a disappointment as they seemed a bit over cooked to where the outside had a harder more rubbery texture than most places. Overall my food was decent and I would go back since it's near my office. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but I give it a recommendation if you're in the area and looking for Chinese take out.

Surprisingly good! I thought Mr Wok was like Panda Express or some similar pre-cooked mall shop. I was so wrong. We ordered a variety of items for carry out one night. Ready in 15 meant ready in 15! The egg rolls were good. Not amazing, but worth most of the calories. The other dishes were made fresh. Prepared to our specifications. We were happy people. The shrimp was a nice size. No shrimpy shrimps here. Middle of the road and cleaned well. The sauces were not too heavy which is a usual complaint from me. Overall, it was a nice experience and I will try them again!
(4)Han W.
Very good location. The menu in is on a large screen across the counter .very good staff .and good size of the meal is large you can get 2 meals out of it.the kow pow chicken was very good 4 stars I will be back.
(4)Debbie C.
This place is okay. Not great, not bad. They do cook fresh, I do not think prepared like Panda Express. I ordered the Kung Pau chicken. Great flavor, spicy but a lot of the chicken was dark meat. The beef & broccoli was pretty good. If you are going to go, your best bet is the lunch time specials.
(3)Sarah N.
It is unfortunate but after a while of coming here I have found to like it less and less. The reasons are in bullet forms below: * There doesn't seem to be any flavors to the Kung Pao Chicken anymore. It taste like all the other dishes they serve. Or should I blame my taste buds on this? * It's way too oily than I would like. * My stomach hurts all the time after eating it. * The rice gets hard after a while. *sigh*

Never again!!! My girlfriend and I both had chicken dishes last, and right now we are both attached to our toilets. Just sayin........

I visited this place today with my boyfriend just because it was the cheapest and closest Chinese place to us. When you first get there it looks extremely small but once inside its spacious and looks like a very upbeat and cool place to eat at. The menús are on some computer screens so those are easy to read but It took the lady at the counter like 15 minutes to take our order even tho we were the only ones in there. Also a weird and kind of annoying thing was that she wouldn't let us order one drink to share. We sat down and waited for our food which didn't take a long time to be brought to us. We ordered the small spicy orange chicken to share for $6.50 ish. Which we were glad we did because it was so much food. Their white rice is very good but the orange chicken was a bit too saucy for my taste. Besides that it was an excellent experience.
(4)Jeff D.
Used to like the food but they changed the chicken so it is now rubbery and bland. It was the last 3 or 4 times during Spring 2015 that had the same rubbery chicken. Other than the chicken, everything else is decent. Maybe new owners or something but disgusting chicken limits my options on too many dishes now.
(2)Helen H.
I've placed orders at this location at least 10 times in the last year, and I've been disappointed pretty much every time. My husband is a fan of their food, but I am not. The last straw for me was with last week's order, where I asked for extra shrimp, and they charged me $3.00 more. Not only did they not put any extra in the order, it probably had less than it normally would have had I not said anything. Their sweet and sour chicken is truly gross, with mostly dark chicken pieces with a ton of sauce that thoroughly overwhelms the dish. Overall, I'd visit Ye's Chinese any day over Mr. Wok, a short distance to the west, and continue ordering Chinese food that generally never disappoints.

I ordered through GrubHub today, 4/8/15. I am working from home b/c I am sick. The lady called me being very rude that she couldn't find my building. I was trying to help her find it which is very easy. She was super rude and then she goes "let's just forget it". What does she mean forget it??? She was lost b/c she is directionally challenged. It's not hard to find this building. if she was smart enough she would have found it. Anyway, I will never order from here again !! Bad customer service, I am sure their food sucks too.
(1)Onda R.
I am Chinese and very picky about where I order take-out from. I ordered: Egg Drop soup; Broccoli Beef; Sweet and Sour Chicken; and Lo Mein Combination. What I dislike about many Chinese restaurants is how salty the food is. There was no worry about that here. The food was tasty, especially the Broccoli Beef. I disagree with a previous review which listed Mr. Wok a notch above Panda Express--which is disgusting and should be embarrassed to be associated with Chinese Food. The only reason I did not give the place 5 stars, was because there are other items I have yet to try.
(4)Steve M.
The kung pao chicken was awful. They did make it spicy, but the chicken was gross and the sauce bland, and the cashier was annoyed to deal with us. I think their fried rice was just white rice with soy sauce on it. No one left happy. Go to the place on schmale and 64 instead.
(1)Joey B.
Been going here every now and then. They just opened up. Food: Good food for the price. Lunch Specials are about $6.25 and has enough to make you save leftovers. Some dishes really shine for the price, but you gotta take the time to find them. The Panang Curry Chicken, Pepper Steak, and Honey Chicken are some that I discovered. The Crab Rangoons are da bomb! A much better alternative to Panda Express, but won't beat Chinatown standards. Service: Fast and Friendly. Enough said. If you show up when it's not busy, you can sometimes get your food made in 3 minutes! Atmosphere: Always clean. Nice color coordination. Easy on the eyes. Pro Tip: Don't get the MSG Fried Rice that comes with every lunch special. Ask for White Rice. Your body will Thank You! This will be my new go to for fast and cheap Chinese food.
(4)Jen H.
I agree with everyone else. This place is just OK. It's not awesome or delicious, but it's not bad. I didn't care for the crab rangoon. The fried rice and dinner dishes were fine. There is a distinct lack of good chinese food places in the Carol Stream area. The search continues!
(3)Ed B.
This is our fourth time going to Mr Wok the food is always very good and service is fast seems to be a lot better than Panda Express I guess thats why we keep returning.
(5)Ellery R.
Excellent food! Known for fresh and healthier food, delicious flavors, and prompt and polite customer service. Pleasant colorful eating area and if you don't know what your entree looks like, there is a helpful picture menu to help out. Clean, affordable, and enjoyable.
(5)Nicole L.
I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this place yet. On one hand the service is friendly and quick, and they give you a lot of food for what you pay (lunch specials available even on a Sunday, which is when hubby and I ordered take-out). On the other hand, the white rice is bland (would prefer jasmine), the egg rolls are dry, and my Kung Pao chicken had a fishy flavor to it (too much oyster sauce???). My husband's General Tso was pretty decent, so I guess we'd try this place once more but otherwise would rather stick to Panda Express.
(3)Mike S.
I'm not so big on this place. It's about the equivalent of Panda. Fast food Chinese. I ordered my lunch there and by the time I filled my drink and found a seat my food was delivered to the table. It was edible but not outstanding. There was some meat in the dish, but the egg roll was vegetarian. I would go back if I were starving and nothing else was open. I did want to add some siriachi sauce but they didn't have any. I thought maybe a little heat would make bad food go down easier.

For quick and tasty Chinese food in/near Carol Stream, this place is it! I've been in search for a place close by and stopped in during Sunday for lunch and they had a great priced lunch special. My husband loved their pork egg fu yung and I enjoyed the kung pao chicken, along with the eggroll + fried rice that came with! Great serving sizes, enough to take home, super fast (literally like 5minute wait after placing an order). And with them using fresh ingredients (no msg ever!), we felt not as guilty eating here. We have gone back twice already and had delivery for dinner during one of the Hawks finals and no complaints on any items. Their noodles were great, as was the BBQ pork, plenty of meat and shrimp in their dishes. Well worth the money for decent Chinese food in the suburbs!
(4)Emma O.
The food is really awesome. They are close to my work and are super fast. Basically a better version of panda. I would give it four stars but sadly the girl who typically answers the phone is really rude. She has such a bad attitude and always act super annoyed when I ask for spicy mustard (they only give you one soy sauce packet). Seriously for two meals you give me one sauce pack? The manager/owner is super nice though!!! Just wish they had someone better answering the phones and ringing people up.
(3)Mrs. G.
Delicious Chinese food! Ordered the peppered steak, orange chicken, pork fried rice and a few other dishes for a party and everyone enjoyed the dishes! The egg rolls and egg drop soup are really good too!!

The food is better then others I have tried in the area but Disappointed we ordered delivery food was delivered in 45- hour like promised. Came with no rice for entrees. We called to ask if meals come with rice she confirmed they did. Said they had 2 other orders in front of ours will try to deliver after that.. Showed up 45 min later with small rice for 2 entrees Wow..!!! Sorry for ordering Chinese food with rice what was I thinking..!!!

Great food,best crab ragoons!!!

This area lacks a place like Panda Express where you can just walk in and five minutes later, have a decent plate of food served to you. I wanted to see if Mr. Wok fit the bill. The place is clean and relatively new. I scanned the menu for something a little out of the ordinary, and found it in the Panang Curry with Chicken. With an egg roll I spent $6.75, tax included, which is a bargain. I sat down, and not 2 minutes later, the meal comes out. As can be expected, $6.75 buys you an enormous amount of food - I have more than enough for leftovers tomorrow. Fried rice is standard with the lunch special, which I also appreciated. The curry was simple but hot... certainly not complex but I'm not complaining either. The veg was tender. The chicken was... uhh... ephemeral. I shouldn't be able to use that word for chicken, but... it had little flavor and absolutely no bite. I think next time I'll try the beef, and hopefully in the future the restaurant can use fresh chicken, sauteed properly. On the brighter side of things the eggroll was very crisp and went well with their sweet and sour sauce. No fortune cookie served with the food or on the way out, which was a bummer. Overall though I'd come back to Mr. Wok.
(4)Shanda W.
The first time we ate here it was really great. Food was excellent. We picked it up on our way home. Sesame chicken was delicious. My most recent experience with Mr. Wok will definitely be my last! Despite how good the food is the staff and service was horrible. Taking into consideration cultural differences and all still doesn't call for treating customers poorly. When I called in a delivery order I asked for a small order of an entrée from the menu. I was told that it only came in large. I told them that I wanted it in small. The menu says it comes in two sizes. I was told that the menu was wrong and that small wasn't an option. After going back and forth about honoring what the menu says, they refused to do so. I know this may not be a big deal to most but if I was kindly told something along the lines of "we're sorry that we haven't been able to update the menu so as a courtesy we'll honor the price but going forward please know that the menu is wrong..." bla bla bla. That would have been great but instead it was "do you want to order or not! We can't change the price! ...humm "can't" or "won't". It's ok because Mr. WOK WILL NEVER GET MY BUSINESS again solely on principle.
(1)Erica F.
I dont normally leave reviews but this place is so good, i want it around for a while. I stopped there because the reviews said it was very fast! I ordered the panang curry because the reviews said it was excellent . Well, i have been back for it 2 more times in a week and a half! Its the best ive ever had. Its spicy but i ordered it extra spicy and WOW! I did try the General Tso chicken also. It was good. Id give it a 3 1/2 star. Try this place!
(5)Jade J.
My first time getting food from there. Food was great!!!! Good portion, great taste.
(4)John L.
My first experience here. Food was solid. I had the General Tso chicken, which was flavorful and a bit spicy (which I liked). We also had the chicken fried rice and chicken Lo mien. Both were solid dishes. We went the carry out route. You can eat in if you want. Dining room is small, not unlike a regular fast food joint. We will be back, and try other dishes.
(3)Jason B.
Very good quality food! Very fast service! Only things needs improvement is their phone communication skills and they need to have brown rice as an option. Also their spicy is not very spicy, they are too light on the hot pepper. The place is clean and the people there really seem to want the business and are there to please the customers. The lady on the phone needs to work on her phone manners a little bit, she is not rude but her voice inflection is not upbeat.
(5)Cliff S.
Stumbled onto this place based on a recommendation from a friend. The best Chinese I have found in the Chicagoland area in the last 9 years!!
(5)Diane C C.
the first and last time I will try their food, the egg rolls were terrible there was some white creamy stuff in it which who knows what it was.We asked for white rice we got fried.I have getting egg foo young for years with a brown gravy this is the first time it was plain and just bland,I threw most of it away, the pork in it was so tough I couldnt even eat it,I also throught the portions were small but kind of a good thing since it was terrible.What a way to throw almost $30.00 away.
(1)Julie S.
My new favorite place! The honey shrimp is awesome! It comes with broccoli and my husband and I love it. Orange chicken and low meins are also great. We have not had a bad meal. Portions are large and prices are not too bad. They have fast delivery and have never messed up an order. I love this place!!!!
(5)Herbert P.
Very positive "first experience!" We will definitely go back. Granted, this is not exactly "Grade A" gourmet food, but when compared to other restaurants in this genre - quick take-out Chinese - this place is top-of-the-line. If you're a fan of hot and spicy, and Thai food, then you will definitely love the food. I ordered the Panang Curry chicken and it was comparable to any Thai restaurant. Their hot and sour soup was also very good. I vehemently disagree with the reviewer who compared this place to Panda Express....Panda Express is *junk* Chinese food loaded with fat, sodium and sugar. This place wasn't like that at all.
(4)Shao W.
a new location just opened 2 weeks ago, so come to try it,before that we try their elgin location, it's very good. the new place is smaller,but looks better than elgin one,so,we order gerneral tso's chicken, crab rangoon, mongulian beef,and house special fried rice. the food is delicious,especialy gerneral tso's chicken nd mongulian beef, plus their fried rice is best around the area. and the ppl work there are very nice. i think this place is good place to take a try nd i will definitly come back again,
(4)Rob S.
Just had the deliver, didn't know what to expect,but was pleasantly surprised. Got the generals chix, asked for extra spicy and it was awesome.
(4)Marshall H.
This was a delivered order and our first food from this restaurant. My wife and I both ordered Thai food with order of egg rolls. First off egg rolls were not crisp nor very tasty. The Thai food is the worse we have tasted in this area. Very little in the way of veggies or meat, mostly noodles. Definitely do not recommend for Thai food. Not having tried the Chinese food honestly cannot give an opinion on it.
