Think this is the same place I ordered from last night but on Seamless, it's known as Asian Kitchen. The address is the same so I suppose Asian Kitchen may just be a new name or a reorganized entity. Seamless said their delivery time would take 30-45 minutes but after an hour, I called the place and the guy asked if I could give him another 10 minutes because it was very busy. It didn't arrive after 10 minutes so after 15 more minutes (which was going on for an hour and a half by now) I called again and they told me the order already left and it would be another 5 minutes which turned out to be another 15 minutes. All told, it took 1 hour and 45 minutes! The food ironically, was decent enough although the seafood pan fried noodles were mostly topped with kani (mock crab) and veggies, not an array of large pieces of shrimp, fish, etc. as I was expecting. I do have to point out the roast duck over rice had a few good pieces but there were several boney pieces which should've been better tossed out than given to a customer, especially to one who waited more than twice the maximum wait time! The beef stew noodles weren't made with chow fun noodles as I had asked online. Instead, they used the skinny wonton noodles which is a big difference. I would think Elmhurst, home to many finicky Asians would've closed this place down by now. The only saving grace is their food is cheap. If you have a big appetite and little patience for waiting, scroll past the "A" lettered Chinese restaurants to find another place. Haven't been to their physical location yet but judging by the background noise of my 2 calls, it seems they can't handle busy nights!! The fact it has a new name and the name Asian Kitchen can't be found anywhere on Yelp tells me a lot! Maybe they thought if they laid low, no one would review them but I have to send a message here to all unassuming online takeout customers!
I was desperate for some Chinese food and on a whim stopped in here. I wasn't expecting much and that's what I got. The shrimp lo mien was pretty unpleasant tasting and too greasy, also low on shrimp. The dumplings were doughy and the meat wasn't very flavorful (like most Chinese-American dumplings unfortunately). The egg roll was good though. The only reason I didn't give them 1 star is because I didn't try any of their main dishes and so it didn't seem fair.
