Emperor Wok

Closed. Business now on Ashland.

So we ordered here for lunch today at work. 4 entrees was just shy of $50!! Worth it? Meh.....it was ok at best. The portions are HUGE (there was enough to feed a family of four with one order!) but bigger doesn't always mean better. The food was salty but very flavorful. I ordered the Kung Po Beef. Not the best I've had but still tasty none the less. There are many other Chinese restaurants close to work that I will go back to before I order from here again. It worked in a pinch especially since it was rainy and I was WAY too lazy to go anywhere.

This was my go-to restaurant when they delivered to my house. The food's not going to blow your mind as authentically Cantonese (or any kind of Chinese for that matter), but, it's very reasonably priced and it's a huge step up from most takeout/delivery Chinese in Chicago.

I can't vouch for sweet & sour anything because that should taste gross anywhere. But, they do a great pan fried noodle, a very respectable hot & sour soup, nice thick-skinned dumplings and pretty good meat/veg combos. Their egg rolls are usually free and they make them with a touch of peanut butter (if you've never tried it, you have no idea what you're missing.)
