Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not usually busy, not sure why. They have good food, good staff and a clean location. Nothing crazy, but it's good food with good prices

Grumpy Service

Sept 2016 • family

On the advice of several family members, I drove out of the way to eat here while on a recent business trip. While the food was good - I can't say spectacular, just good - the overall feel for the place dropped when I was continually pestered by the waitstaff asking why I was not ready to order. And then when i did - You Sure you want that? - it takes twenty minutes to cook. Overall: Meh to Meh+

Portions seemed to have gotten larger?

Jan 2020 • none

I am not big into Chinese food but usually do take-out a few times a year. This location has been there a few decades and is kind of old world, traditional in appearance. When I dined there I really like the ambiance and the dim lighting. The food though I am no connoisseur, seems very good in comparison to other Chinese restaurants I have visited. The only negative if there is one is the music coming from the kitchen. I wish it could be more traditional.

Horrible customer service

Dec 2021 • family

Placed an order on the restaurant's website at 6:00 p.m. tonight. Received an email confirmation that said my order would be ready at 6:41 for delivery. Waited until almost 7:00 p.m. to get my order. Did not get it. Called the restaurant. Spoke with someone who told me my order was not received because he wanted to know if it was through one of the delivery services. I said no it was through your website. He said oh they don't check that. Do not order through their website. He said it would be another 20 something minutes before I got my order. I asked if I would get a discount since I've already waited almost an hour for my food. He put a woman on the phone. She was extremely rude to me and said no they don't do delivery. And she will just cancel my order. Not accommodating in the least and extremely rude. My kids and I have been waiting for food for an hour now. And she said just call somewhere else that was her resolution. Do not order from this Chinese restaurant in Fox Lake. Horrible service

New Owners in 2017

I'm disappointed with the recipes. This used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in the Fox Lake area but now it's not good. I wish they'd make egg rolls like the former owners.

The Best Egg Foo Young Ever

Mar 2017 • family

This is my go to place for Egg Foo Young. The brown gravy is to die for. They also have a sizzling rice soup I really like. The sisters are friendly, fast and always aim to please.

Disappointed, used to be better

Dec 2016 • family

Appeared to have minimally remodeled inside and was under new ownership. We liked the food before although the restaurant was a little run down. This time they had different menus, colorful take out paper menus. Ordered couple of Mai Tais that tasted like fruit juices & no alcohol. For appetizer we ordered 3 Egg rolls, because there were 3 of us there. They said they come in 2's and would have to get 2 orders or 4 egg rolls. Never had to do that in a Chinese restaurant before. So we got 2 orders or 4 egg rolls. They were average tasting. Egg drop soup was good. Husband ordered curry chicken. He said was ok. Son had chicken broccoli, which was definitely a different recipe than what they used to have. He was disappointed with it. I had Mongolian beef (not spicy). It looked really good but the sauce was too sweet. Besides dinner, they now have a flat screen tv on the wall that only plays you tube shows... They had a show on that was definitely not appropriate during dinner...stabbings, blood, foaming at mouth, nudity and swearing. Overall the visit was truly a huge disappointment. We won't be back.

Disgusting

Jun 2016 • couples

If I could give zero stars I would. Very dirty, bad lighting, outdated, small, and awful food. It is not that hard to make Chinese food. Broccoli was bad as in rotten, spicy food had zero spice, the sauce was flavorless, the cups were dirty, and the chicken was questionable. I felt like bugs were going to seep out of the walls. Seriously the grossest restaurant I have ever been to. I am unsure how this place is still in business.

We love this restaurant! We have not been disappointed with anything we have tried. We only do carry-out but the inside is very inviting.

Good service

Nov 2015 • family

Have eaten here many times and have ordered food for take out from this restaurant. The food is consistently good. We enjoy Chinese food and this restaurant does a great job. Service is good and the room is always clean. Would not hesitate to eat there again soon.

New Years Day Dinner

Jan 2016 • family

Excellent food and great service. The establishment was clean. It appears take out is very popular for this establishment. We though stayed and eat. Portions were small compared to other Chinese restaurants I've been to in Lake and Cook counties. One small cup of rice for two adult meals. The waitress did get us another small cup of rice upon requests.

Great surprise

Oct 2015 • family

This small cafe packs a big punch with Chinese food in Fox Lake. Starting with a great Mai Tai, hot n sour soup, and eggroll and hot tea, our dinner was off to a yummy start. Add some dumplings and the Shrimp with Lobster sauce, and you will be back very soon.

Always great!

Apr 2014 • family

We order take out from here several times a month and occasionally dine in. Take out always steaming hot. Best Mongolian beef I have had and great pork fried rice. Have not had a bad dish yet. Dine in service is attentive and friendly and as quick as take out. You can tell everything is prepared to order. The restaurant is nothing to write home about and the tables are a little wobbly but it is clean and neat. If you've got a hankering for American "Chinese" food this is the place to go.
