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.

Keep coming back here, so I guess we really like it. Not at all fancy - a local place - but the food is consistently good and fresh. My husband is pickey, but even be likes it. Based on all the takeout they do, we're not the only ones who think it's good. The people who own it are very nice too. Hints: The orange chicken doesn't have much sauce and can be dry, so I always ask for extra sauce. Crab Rangoon is very unique and I love it - large order though as all their food is! Soups are great! All beef dinners and chicken dinners have been great, and they're very good at adding or removing parts of a dish (we love extra garlic!) for pickey customers Give it a try - we think you'll be happy you did.

The lowmein noodle combo is actually good but the gentleman that works the front is very crabby. Not bad but only for take out.

I order the rice and chicken in the brown sauce every time and I have never been unsatisfied in my 15 years of eating from this place.

Most of their food is good, however the scallops are small and can become over cooked and the scallop to veggie ratio was extremely out of proportion (too many veggies) the crab Rangoons are terrible the worse I've ever had. They had some type of scrambled egg in there and vegetables and almost no crab meet almost positive the little cream cheese in there was actually sour cream the curdled up. Other than that everything I've had from there was solid. Orange chicken lomein fried rice Kung pao sweet and sour all are very good.

Avoid this restaurant. It's not pleasant to question what you're eating due to the various textures when you chew. I ordered sesame chicken, a basic safe Chinese food dish, so I thought. I have lived in this area for a long time and have heard many questionable stories about this place. I tried to give it another shot, not worth it at all. So just take my word for it and avoid it!

People seem to either hate this place or love it on Yelp. I decided to check this place out considering I have a pretty damn good judgement for Chinese food. I lived in Chinatown for a couple months after all. Service: The lady that served us was very kind and spoke perfect English. Which, not to sound stereotypical, is kinda rare. I was impressed with the speed and friendliness. Our big order came out in about 8 minutes. Atmosphere: A tad depressing to be honest. Their overhead menu is really hard to read and all of the pictures have the color completely washed out. It is pretty roomy, but everything is just visually dull in this place. Don't take a lady on a date here please! Food: We ordered a variety of menu items. I would describe the food best as 50/50! Some menu items taste really funky such as the Crab Rangoons, but some menu items are fantastic for the price. I have never had such... Unique tasting Crab Rangoons. It was 10 pieces for $4 though, and I was more intrigued than regretful. The fried rice tasted full of dishonor. The Fried Rice must have been packed with MSG and even then it did not taste good. However, what completely saves this place is how some of their menu items are unreasonably good for the price. I usually hate General Tso's, but this place had me scarfing them down. It was crispy yet velvety at the same time with such perfect balance in seasoning! My other favorite was their dumplings. By the gods it is so unreasonably good for the price. $4 for 10 juicy and fluffy dumplings. So flavorful and filling with each bite. I also have to add how generous their portions on all the menu items. I would go here again with a group of people. The food is very fun in my opinion as you either get something really good or something interesting. The price is very well worth their generous portions and is definitely worth a trip. You might not like some things, but you will enjoy some of them thoroughly. I have no regrets and would enjoy a trip back with friends. My best piece of advice is to always go White Rice here and never eat the Fried Rice. PRO TIP: They don't have a fountain machine so be sure to bring your own drink or 2 liter of soda.

I was oh so spoiled in Seattle when it came to asian food but having so much bad luck with places here, just crap pure crap I went to Radio Shack next door to look for a cover for my phone, and figured would grab some lunch also before heading to work they have some good sounding lunch specials, so I ordered a Pork something bowl, it has noodles and I wanted pasta, but they also filled half the bowl with fried rice, old ass fried rice at that it was gritty like it had been mixed with polenta or was just old reheated fried rice, and the pork had a weird taste to it also won't be going back here ever, I would rather have Panda express, the only thing Asian about this place was the guy cooking th food and he needs to go have his momma teach him how to cook

It's Christmas and it's open. It's the perfect place where you can carry out chinese food. They have the best General Tso's Chicken. And the rest of their food is pretty decent.

I yelped a good restaurant for a late lunch Tuesday in Elgin and was SO happy to have found this place. The food was amazing. I had the kung pao, my friend had the moo shoo pork. We started with egg rolls - nothing fancy on either order but we wanted to play it a little safe since we were newbies. You order from the counter with the menu on the back wall. We just missed the lunch special cut off. The food came quickly and the servings were enormous! I must have missed Eman's review, because seriously people, the servings are HUGE! I was starving and I still needed 2 to-go boxes for my left overs! Even the egg roll seemed larger than normal. The drinks are cans from the fridge and the plastic bag we were given to take the doggy bag came from the jewel next door - lol! This place is not snazzy but if its good Chinese you are looking for Panda is a gem!

This is a great place for Chinese food in Elgin. We usually go with the kung pao chicken or steak. Delicious sauce, fresh vegetables, perfectly spiced. The combination fried rice is great as is the wonton soup and the spring rolls.

Fast service, good price and polite employees is the only thing this place has going for it. Takeout Chinese is so hit-and-miss. This spot is definitely a miss. It's by FAR the worst tasting take out Chinese food I've ever had. Everything has a fishy taste to it. I couldnt even finish the food.
