  My favorite Chinese place!
  
  It's right by the Rosati's on Arlington Heights and 83.
  
  It's near my work so I get the lunch special a lot (which has gone up recently). I think it's at about $7. But they give you two lunches worth of food, and it is SO delicious. I always get the Mongolian beef with fried rice. It comes with an egg roll and all three of these things are beyond delicious.
  
  Dang is the owner (I think) and he is incredibly friendly. Go there more than once and he will remember you. Whenever my coworkers or I go there, he asks after the other person.
  
  Really reasonable prices and beyond-great food. Especially when it was JUST made. Very hot and fresh :D :D Highly recommend.

  Nothing really remarkable here. Mongolian beef lunch special: veg fried rice bland, beef a bit bbqish & swimming in oil at the bottom, egg roll standard one bought from a supplier.

  The family that I nanny for only takes out from this Chinese Restaurant so I decided to carry out some for my husband and I. I ordered the House Special Fried Rice (large), Orange Chicken, and Hot and Sour Soup. The only thing great about this place was the fried rice. The fried rice was very good with a very nice smoky flavor that my husband looks for in all his fried rices. The orange chicken on the other hand tasted too much like orange with not enough chicken flavor. I wanted some soup so I ordered the Hot and Sour soup, which was not good at all. I don't think I've ever had a bad hot and sour soup, but this one was probably the worst I have ever had. I do give the place 3 stars for the fried rice and their service. The family that owns this restaurant is very nice and really take care of you.

  Chinn's has delicious, moderately priced food and they
  DELIVER. Try the hot and sour soup, its some of the best I've ever had.  I would also recommend the beef with snow peapods, egg foo young (my personal fave) and the Hunan chicken.  I've never had a bad meal from here.  I usually call on my way home from work and order for pick up -everything is hot, fresh and tasty.  This is a carry out only, but that's fine with me...they are nice and friendly here, too.

  I have passed this place a billion times and never tried it because it was on the wrong side of the street and traffic near the intersection of Arlington Hts. Rd. & McHenry Rd. is abysmal.
  
  So when a co-worker said he was ordering and did I want anything, I said sure, even though I brought my lunch that day.
  
  I wish I had eaten my lunch. This was the worst carryout ever.  Lunch specials are reasonable, my hunan chicken was under $5 and came with egg roll, fried rice & fortune cookie.
  
  The rice reminded me of that delectable San Francisco treat, with the addition of frozen peas and carrots.  The few shreds of chicken were tender white meat; my only regret is that there were not more of them.  Overall, the entree was bland.  Who says chinese is loaded with sodium? Not here! After searching, I found two lonely red chilis and resorted to chewing on them for the flavor I sought.
  The eggroll was not bad, it was still crispy though it was entirely cabbage. The fortune cookie was actually good...it had a faint orange flavor and was very light and crispy, thinner than the usual cookies I get at other restaurants.
  
  I don't think I'll get lunch here again...I tried to eat the leftovers for dinner and I had to toss them...just nasty.
  
  ***UPDATE***5/22/08
  A bit late writing this, it happened a couple weeks ago when a co-worker ate my lunch for the 2nd time and I made him buy me lunch....so where was everyone ordering from??? Yeah, this place! So I ordered something else and I was glad I did...forget everything else, just get the mongolian beef-very tender and flavorful. Not good enough to give it another star but still worth mentioning!
