Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Just when I was starting to bemoan the lack of authentic Taiwanese eats in Chicago (WTF) after returning from a trip to Taiwan, I learned about this place in the International Plaza Food Court, which I hadn't visited in a couple years. We had the minced pork on rice, sticky rice tower with pork ($3.50), and oyster omelette ($6.95). I saw beef noodle soup, oyster noodles, pork potage noodles, and fried intestines on the menu, but those will have to wait until next time. Not much to say except that all the dishes were tasty and the price was right. Not the best examples of each dish that I've ever had, but good enough to bring me back home. The big takeaway is that if you're missing real Taiwanese food, this is pretty much the only place to go in the whole city. Overall a much needed addition to the International Plaza Food Court scene, which has been steadily declining over the past few years. I'll be back pretty much all the time. It'll probably take me a few visits to work through the menu.

Authentic TAIWANESE food, and yes, there is a difference between taiwanese and chinese food. The intestine noodle soup may sound disgusting, but it's pretty dead on to the stuff I used to eat in the streets of Taiwan. The best part about this place is the wide selection of Taiwanese dishes, which looks pretty authentic in the pictures pasted on the wall haha. True to Taiwanese culture, these dishes will get you full quickly without breaking the bank! Verdict: I'll be back!

Hidden inside the International Plaza.........Oriental Seafood House (OSF) is one of the 4 Asian food shops inside this slightly run down building. The food shops here remind me a bit of the hawker stalls in Singapore (obviously not as nice and inside a building). If you are looking for some low cost Asian options these shops will fit the bill. For lunch I went with the Beef Soup Noodles ($5.95). Chunks of stewed/fatty beef with loads of yellow noodles (think lo mein noodles) all simmering inside a dark anise/cinammon broth. Pretty tasty and fortifying considering that is a cold rainy Sunday (it's the middle of May!!). Wifey had a chicken congee.........not one of the better versions we have had. Watery and lacking in flavor. Could have used some garlic. Maybe a bad choice? Enjoyed some Yeo's drink products. Wifey had the soy milk and I had the white gourd drink. Nice to enjoy some Yeo Hap Seng products...a household name in Singapore and Malaysia (where we had the great oppotunity to live for 4 years). Many many other food items at OSF.....will return and try the other "stalls" here inside International Plaza. We really miss KL & Singapore!!!!!

So stoked when I came here because I have been craving Taiwanese food like crazy since I moved to Chicago. I only had a ton zi mi gao (sticky rice shaped by a barrel) from here. It was perfectly cooked and the rice wasn't flavored completely but the sauce was drizzled over the top. yum!

Oyster omelette is excellent here. I am impressed. They actually use chrysanthymum greens! The oysters are not fishy, big plus to me! And they mix the usual red sauce with a soy based? sauce. They do add a bit too much of it on top but still good! I love that this place has a taiwanese snack menu. Their "wa-guay" is also good. Their milk tea used to be really good but now it isn't as good as I remembered. Sigh I miss Taiwan.

I come from Taiwan and I tried their authentic food there. The bubble tea there is so so but at least it is not expensive. Oyster Noodle is too salty and they put too many garlic in the soup, so the soup taste is completely spoiled by the garlic. The Su-Sem Soup is very authentic and worth to try. The oyster omelet is recommended by other reviewers, but for Taiwanese, the oyster omelet is not tasty as the usual one in Taiwan. If you want to try Taiwanese food, this place is worthy to try, but if you come from Taiwan, the food here will disappoint you.

I enjoy coming here for lunch. They have a wonderful shrimp and garlic sauce dish that is better than any I can remember. The noodle dishes are good, and I always enjoy the fruit smoothies (served with or without tapioca balls). Unfortunately, the lunch specials don't include seafood dishes, which I believe to be the best thing on the menu. There is tons of authentic stuff as well. They also sell dim sum, though I have yet to try it. Oriental Food House is one of several establishments in the International Food Court in Westmont, and it is the only one that takes credit cards. It is all Chinese and pan-Asian food. This food court is something to see-I wish I could find word to describe it, but I cannot. This is one quiet food court. Maybe subdued is the word. Think of it as a food court on Xanax. I enjoy reading here, and I imagine spending a lot of time here getting my shit together if I was ever unemployed. I can actually hear my thoughts at the International Food Court, even during the lunch rush. And if you get a smoothie, go for the tapioca balls.

We came here for a quick bite before we head down Ogden to test drive couple cars. This place is in a food court inside International Mall. My husband and I felt this was a mini Chinatown with a lot of Taiwanese people. There were three other restaurants, but we decided to go here because I wanted dim sum (shrimp dumpling and shu mai). I ordered that and my husband ordered their combo fried rice. I must say this is the worst dim sum I've ever had. First they were both very very small. The shrimp dumpling taste weird..it did not taste like the normal shrimp dumplings I've had. Each of these cost $3.50/each..definitely not worth it. My shu mai was worse! The meat taste like powdered meat.. but my husband thinks it's pork minced together.. it's grainy..and I wasnt sure what I was eating. It has a dried shrimp (very small) on top for presentation, but the taste was horrible. My husband's fried rice was decent - it came with squid, shrimp, chicken, and beef. He thought the shrimp in his rice taste very strange so he didn't eat it. He thought his fried rice was just okay, but pretty expensive. Next time I'm in this food court we're going to eat at the other restaurants!

Horrible. This is NOT Taiwanese food. The Taiwanese meat ball skin was too hard to eat. The sauce is way too salty and has no flavor. The pork and cabbage soup was bitter. The rice cake also has little flavor but salty soy sauce. Disappointed.

We'd just had dinner at nearby Standard Market, so we were mostly just browsing the mall and getting some dumplings to go. We happened to pass by Oriental Food House and the lady working there was so friendly and welcoming that we had to stop. Everything in this mall is like 30% cheaper than normal Chinese restaurants, so I'm really impressed by the great service. I was excited to see that she had tea eggs!!! I've never seen that available except at my mom's. They were $1 for two and very good. My mom's are better, but I guess that's always the case :) We'll be back to try their $5.95 lunch special with included smoothies (M-F before 3pm). Of course, their dinners are so cheap--starting at $5.50 plus soup!--that we definitely wouldn't mind going there after 3. Looks like they have Japanese Tofu and several other veggie options. P.S. I loved that everybody at this mall talked to me in 80%-English, 20%-Chinese :). My Chinese is terrible, but when it comes to food names I apparently still got it.

The food is good for the price and should be a good option for people live/work nearby. Is it worth driving more than 5 miles (I did 15...) just for the food here? Not that good.

Real Taiwan mon&pop people in the burbs making genuine meals from the streets of taiwan. Well, that is to say after they were stunned that a white guy wanted more than a simple smoothie or typical American dish. For those avoiding meat or fish: They understand that "no meat or fish " means please don't add any kinda of meat or flavoring. Nice. Recommend: mango kiwi with tapioca smoothie, spicy broccoli and request tofu added, green onion pancake no meat.... Cons: hard to find a seat by the tv. Free wifi kinda slow but good enough for browsing on your iPad.

This is the vendor on the very left when you first walk in the door. I usually just go dim sum style here and get 4 small dishes for about $23 with some leftovers. Here is a list of what I have ordered and what I thought: Potstickers- pretty good, but a tad too fried Shrimp dumpings- average Beef chow fun- a bit tasteless... Chive pancake- pretty good Honey milk tea- delicious! Sticky rice- not bad BBQ pork bun- okay, only comes with one though Taiwanese crispy things- these are really good! don't know what they are though Pig Intestine Noodle Soup- this is actually deeelicious! I love the creamy soup base and noodles The lady at the counter was really nice! And I didn't get the lunch special but it looks very reasonable. This place is not as good as Chinatown or Asia (obviously) but this place is aiight.

The food is not that authentic.

This is my favorite hole-in-the-wall Chinese food place to go. Their pho noodle and beef noodle soups are to die for! I've also had a few of their chicken and need entrees with fried rice which have been delicious. If you ever visit, definitely try any of their fruit smoothies with tapioca or their "bubble tea" (iced green tea with tapioca balls)! I get one every time!) If you go before 3pm, you get a free drink with certain entrees--which is a really good deal.

Decided to submit this review as a new business since the original listing with 3 reviews is trapped/locked in the "seafood" category. Well I'll give it four stars since I think one would have to be Taiwanese or an experienced Taiwanese food palate to judge it fully. Had dropped by the food court with family on a late Saturday night and wanted to have a casual outing where we could order a number dishes from different vendors. I ordered down their Taiwanese snack menu and the counter staff are helpful with explanations (English and Chinese), photos, and items that are ready on the counter. Items we got included their pork pie (glutinous rice stuffed with a pork filling, with a savory sauce), oyster omelette, oyster egg rolls, cuttlefish soup/stew (with rice vermicelli), the pork sticky rice tower (sticky rice steamed in ring with pork on top). Also rounded things out with eggplant w/garlic for some vegetables as well as their salt/pepper squid. We plan a visit later this month but hope to see what competing stalls offer in terms of Taiwanese offerings as well as a restaurant in Chicago. Did notice that their new menu did offer $2.50 fresh fruit smoothies or hot/cold pearl tea/coffees for $1.95. From what I've read, other stalls compete there to offer drinks at the lowest price.

Best Taiwanese food in Chicago!!! Went with a bunch of friends and the food was fantastic and authentic! Even though the place is old, you absolutely get alot for your dollar. It's inside the International Plaza and is the one on the far left when you walk into the food court. Don't bother trying any of the other shops. This one has the best Beef Noodle Soup, oyster omelette, sticky rice tower, and green scallion pancakes. Their fresh fruit smoothies with tapioca balls are made of fresh fruits and are so good. Try their taiwanese zongzi (sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaf filled with pork, mushrooms, bamboo shoots)... it is so authentic and perfectly made. Their salty crispy squid is the best calamari I've ever had - just right crispness and the perfect amount of seasoning. Already been back several times and still continue to be amazed at how good the food is. Can't wait until the next time!
(5)Chris C.
Try their Taiwanese FOOD! It is the best I have ever had in the Chicagoland area. The restaurant is located inside a food court. My favorites are the Oyster Omelette, Sticky Rice Tower, Jungdez, Pork Pie, Beef Soup Noodles, and Green Scallion Pancake. The prices are very reasonable and food is made to order. I will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu.
