Yuen's Chinese Kitchen

So I had to write about Yuen's. I haven't had the best of luck with Chinese delivery restaurants on the Northside of Chicago. Actually, delivery in general. The food is usually not great or their delivery takes for ever. Now I've ordered from Yuen's twice and both times, they've surprised me.

I first ordered from here back in December...they estimated 45-50 minutes for my delivery time when I ordered online via GrubHub, which I expected considering it was a Saturday evening. The delivery guy showed up in 20 minutes. My food was hot and actually pretty good.

I ordered from there again today (another Saturday evening) and, once again, GrubHub said it would take 45-50 minutes to get here. The delivery guy showed up in 25 minutes! And once again, my food is pretty damn good!

Yuen's is now my go-to Chinese place on the Northside! Hopefully I don't move anytime soon because it took me almost 2 years to find a place I actually liked!

Good standard Chinese fair with ample sized portions. Not the best Chinese food around but you do get alot of bang for your buck.

Okay, so I love Chinese food and I've had this place before and it was decent so I thought i would go for it again. i ordered the General's chicken dinner that included fried rice w/ egg roll and a pop. I also ordered pot-stickers and I could have tripped myself for doing so. The pot-stickers were so gooey and just all wrong, I couldn't get past the second bite so to the trash they went. The General's chicken was kinda of edible but it had an interesting after taste that made you questioned what the hell they cooked the food in. I took a few bites and vetoed the the chicken as well. Finally I got the rice and egg roll. The rice tasted like they cooked it in a pan that wasn't cleaned b/c it has a soap/chemical taste to it and the eggroll was FOUL. It tasted sour and looked like someone dropped a crap load of cinnamon in the eggroll....I took a bite, looked inside and threw it away just as I did with the other food. Everything was nasty except for the canned pop! Negative on Yuen's Chinese Kitchen, I rather eat noodles!
