  I've ordered from here before and was usually adequately satisfied with the usual Americanized Chinese fast food. Today, however, I was disappointed to find the vegetable lo mein bland, the "smoothies" tasting nothing like the fruit they should (instead tasting like ice and sugary syrup), and the orange chicken tasting old and tough. I won't be returning.

  My food delivery was inedible. Both the person who took my order and the delivery person were really sweet people...but I will never ever order from here again.
  
  I ordered eggrolls, Orange chicken, and Chicken with Hot Garlic sauce.
  The Orange chicken had a yellow sauce that tasted like corn syrup, and had no vinegar or soy...it was weird. I've tried many different versions of "orange chicken," and I have to say, I'm pretty open to the variations across different restaurants, but this one was gross. The chicken with hot garlic sauce tasted like ketchup. It was disgustingly sweet and had a really strange flavor to it. That said, the food was hot, and if you eat this food without tasting it, I'm sure it will do.
  
  :( I haven't found "great" Chinese food delivery in Logan Square, but this was, by far, the worst "Chinese food" I've ever had, anywhere. period.
  
  So disappointed!!

  Food was good. But different than the Chinese I'm used to. Very fast service!! Would possibly go again.

  Still like this place (the only caveat being: be careful what you order, read my original review) and that it's three blocks from my house.  They currently have these $3.50 Big Six Specials (choice of: an egg roll and shrimp fried rice, Sweet & Sour, Kung Pao or Orange Chicken, a MASSIVE shrimp egg foo young, or three wings, all w/ a generous portion of steamed rice).  Surprisingly, the portions are large, too.  So I just picked up two of these (the egg foo and the orange chicken, both were deelish) and two egg rolls, easily enough food for two people and leftovers, for $10.55 including tax.  Unbeatable.  Also, they do deliver and take plastic for any orders over $10.

  I enjoy the food when I feel like chinese takeout. You can't beat the lunch special price. I recommend the egg rolls and fried rice.

  Just ordered delivery for lunch. I ordered a Large Sesame Chicken and my coworker ordered the Same but as a lunch special for just $5 Hers came with a free can of soda, 2 times the rice as mine, an egg roll and just as much meat. I got ripped off. Definitely great food and great lunch specials.
