One of the few best places for authentic Chinese food in North suburb area. They put a lot of effort on their traditional style decorations which is awesome. The owner and waiters were all friendly and willing to talk and explain.

Food was decent, delivery timely. Original order was $36 for fried rice, walnut shrimp and eggrolls (2). With DoorDash delivery, taxes and tip, order ended up being $53 and change. So we paying 50% of food order for delivery fees. Bottom line is that if you want your food delivered, this place gonna cost ya since they do not appear to have their own delivery service like most Chinese restaurants. Maybe this just the way of the world these days but I won't order again due to the delivery costs.

It was surprising to find an authentic restaurant in Palatine, which makes it a must try spot for Chinese food lovers.Upon entering, I felt the care and attention the team put into decorating the place, with a great open space that can be perfect for a casual lunch or dinner, family or group dine-in, or host events/weddings. The decorations and furniture are of great quality with comfortable booths or seats. I decided to sit in a booth with my best friend after the manager or owner greeted us immediately.I ordered a variety of food, some cold appetizers, deep fried pork and lamp chops along with fried rice, all dishes were made with fresh ingredients and were spot on on the authentic taste of Chinese cuisine. The portions are generous also with fair pricing and I will definitely come back again in the future.

I just heard this restaurant on Saturday and we were hooked and went on Sunday. It was a very nice place, very easy access by I-290/53, amble parking and seating, big enough for weddings and other social events.The food we had were delicious, the variety was unbelievable. Friendly and quick services, many specialty dishes were not available anywhere else in the Chicago area. Our family and guests enjoyed the meals very much.芝加哥西北郊最好的中餐。

This is the best Chinese restaurant in the area. The new owner Wen brought in more menu items, i.e. Big Plate Chicken, Roasted Bao, and Onion Lamb are must-orders. The Roast Bao are gone fast! They also have a large party room with a huge TV to host parties. We will definitely be back!

Nothing but praise for this place!! Authentic flavors and reasonable prices! Interior was clean and really pretty - would absolutely come back if I was ever in town again!

Incredible food and service. The owner Wen was fantastic and helped make sure we had everything we needed. Super cute decor too 10/10

Overall the food is good !Try “Sweet&Sour Pork Cutlets” if you could. The chef leverage tomato as the base source, which is a creation! It is crispy outside and the meat is still tender inside.Szechuan String beans also deserve a try.

Great food with nice traditional chinese ambiance. Very authentic chinese food. It's the go-to place whenever we'd like good authentic Chinese food.

It is a wonderful Asian cuisine at North Chicago. I didn't expect they can doing good food like what I'm expected. Nice food with reasonable price. Definitely I will come back again
