I stopped here on Sunday at 430pm, because of the great reviews posted. First I would agree that the potstickers are delicious. I had the beef chop suey and was not impressed at all. Â My date had beef curry and I was told that it was very good.
The service was not so great, I don't know if I just went on one of their really busy days but we were the only ones in the dining room and it took awhile to actually get our meal. People who walked in got their orders faster than we did. Â I did hear the phone ringing a lot and also noticed a lot of pick up orders come in as well so maybe they are more concerned with their walk ins, delivery and pick up orders more than the dine in patrons. I had to find someone for more hot sauce because we ran out on our table. I had to ask for water because we ran out and were never asked if we needed a refill on our beverages when they were empty.
I believe four star reviews have to have the whole picture and not just great food. I myself have had better beef chop suey. This is DEFINITELY not a five star.
I would only go here if I call in a pick up order but I probably will not dine in again besides there are an abundanceof chinese restaurants here in Chicago to choose from, I need more attention then what i received here. Â I only gave three stars because the staff was very nice.
Pot Stickers!!!!
This is Chinatown quality food in your own hood. Â Even though they're far from my house they still deliver to me in Jefferson Park. Â There is nothing in the area that is even as close to good Chineese as this. Â Mongolian Beef is top notch and the Pot stickers, mmm... Â If there is 4 or more of you get two orders because these little crack dough balls are amazing.
Best Chinese food in the area. If ever I crave Chinese, I order from hong huah. Shrimp fried rice consists of good sized shrimp. Mongolian beef is delicious and served on a bed of fried noodles. Orders are big and plenty, so you get a lot for your money. I recommend getting appetizers because they are my absolute favorite thing to order from here. Eggrolls, potstickers and crab ragoon are some great appetizers to just name a few. Almond cookies and fortune cookies with every order. And not mentioning very friendly, family owners, who been owning the owning for many years. Ambiance is very tacky with mirror walls, but I like that you can get a glimpse of what goes on in the kitchen when looking from a certain angle. Lastly, it's very reasonably priced, it's worth a try, if one has a taste for chinese and in the belmont craigin neighborhood.
