    Coming from New York I've had a hard time finding Chinese food of the same caliber in Chicago. Sure, I could go to Chinatown, but what I really want is cheap and tasty food from a hole in the wall kind of place. The Yelp reviews I read were unsettling but my roommates had ordered from here before and their food looked good so my friend and I got their lunch specials. I got Kung Pao Chicken, an eggroll, chicken fried rice (+0.50), and a soda for $5.50 He got the same order except with Sesame Chicken. We also got Chow Mein (oddly GrubHub didn't have Lo Mein) and a bag of 12 fortune cookies ($1.15). We placed the order around 11:40 on a Thursday and the food came around 12:50, which was a long time, but within the time period they predicted. The food was really f*cking delicious. There was actually a lot more food included that you usually get with lunch specials. The fried rice was really tasty and there was a lot of it. The eggrolls were also amazing. My Kung Pao chicken was packed with celery (a little too much in my opinion) but there were also tons of peanuts and baby corns. The flavor was great - enough chili peppers that my mouth and lips were tingly but not overwhelmingly hot. The chicken was also good and I didn't have the problems with gristle or toughness that other reviewers did. My friend's sesame chicken came covered in sesame seeds but the flavor was really good and there was a lot of chicken - also all well cooked. We were so full that we didn't try the Chow Mein. Basically, the delivery is a little slow but the portions are generous, the prices are really good, and the food that we got was very tasty. We're definitely ordering from there again. We also ordered from GrubHub and the prices/some menu items on there were different from the restaurant's online menu (which you can also order from online). We just didn't want to use our credit cards on their site.

    Terrible service for delivery. Don't trust the GubHub delivery estimates. GubHub gave me a time 1 hr and 10 min after I ordered. Try closer to 2 hrs for delivery!!! Totally unacceptable. When I complained to the delivery driver, he said he still had 8 more orders to deliver! And the food? Weak. Nothing impressive. Had to pick out gristle, and tendons and uneatable stuff from two of the three entrees I ordered. Never seen so many green peppers in an order in my life. To make up for a lack of meat, clearly. Stay Away!

    I love this place. Only thing I get is delivery with the three entrée combo. Fantastic, unbeatable value for 7.95. Yes, delivery can be slow, but it's just something to know. Food is great, as long as you keep in mind you're ordering cheap Chinese delivery. I like all of their chicken and beef options, and their crab ragoons. My favorites have to be bourbon chicken, honey chicken and bbq rib tips.

    For Chinese delivery, it's pretty good. I've had a lot worse. They have a good selection and their kung pao chicken actually has peanuts and chilis in it and isn't dumbed-down American Chinese. I did feel that the shrimp in lobster sauce could have had more shrimp in it, and the pot stickers are too doughy. But overall, this is well above average for outside Chinatown.

    NO. NEVER AGAIN. With a craving for egg foo young, I ordered from Dragon Express last night, and I can safely say that it was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. 1) The delivery was late. 2) The food was barely warm by the time I received it. 3) My craving for egg foo young was entirely unsatisfied considering they sent me shrimp in lobster sauce instead. The fucked up the only thing I ordered! 4) Upon calling the restaurant to notify them of their mistake, the phone rang and rang until I was told that the answering machine was full. 5) When I talked to them today, I was told that I did, in fact, receive their egg foo young. So I kindly pointed out that even the receipt in my hand said shrimp in lobster sauce. FINALLY they admitted that they were wrong. Did that help? NOT ONE BIT. 6) After all this shit, they refused to refund me my money for this terrible, terrible service. I will never even consider this garbage restaurant again. They give zero shits about your happiness. This is a terrible business model, with ignorant and indignant employees. DO NOT GIVE THIS SHIT HOLE YOUR MONEY

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.
