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.

I have ordered take-out from here several times. My favorite dish from here is the moo shu pork, a suggestion- ask for extra pancakes and extra sauce. They give you such a large portion but not enough pancakes for it and definitely not enough sauce to put on. I have also had their orange and general tsao's chicken. Each were good but not amazing. The one thing I've had that really wasn't good was their chicken lo mein. It was basically noodles with huge (inedible without cutting) pieces of chicken. In my opinion lo mein should have vegetables. We actually took and improved the lo mein by adding vegetables and more seasoning to it as it was very bland. Portion sizes and prices here are comparable and on par for most other Chinese restaurants in the area.

This is our Chinese take out go to! I always judge a Chinese place based on their hot and sour soup and this place does not disappoint. Their fried rice is also a cut above the rest with the other area take out. It's not as greasy and it is well cooked. I've never had a bad experience ordering and they are timely. I haven't tried their delivery so I can't say anything about that. Try have good portions for good prices. I will be using East China Inn and trying much more of their menu.

I do visit as often as I can. I like the Lemon Chicken. Oh and the Chow Fun noodles are good as well. I think I can say I would eat just about anything here. And I was one to eat just Sweet and Sour everywhere I go. This is the place that made me try new things. But I do have to say. If you try to dine in any time near closing time get ready to be RUSHED out! They will turn of half the lights in the place and have half of the employees standing at the door with their coats on while you're eating. Not good.
(4)Rusty B.
I had the General Tso chicken and it was so bland...I told my waiter of my disappointment and he didn't care at all...I would not recommend this place to anyone....I am amazed on the reviews I am reading

I have been eating at East China Inn for yearssssss. I am started when they first opened in Batavia, and now I live close to this location. I always love their food. Only reason I am giving it 3.5-4 stars instead of 5 is because of these following things... 1. 2.00 extra for subbing a vegetable? Really?? Okay so I dont like mushrooms, and prefer carrots... you do not discount the food for deleting the mushrooms, so why charge me extra for adding carrots. I Didnt ask for a lot? 2. The staff seems rushed whenever I call 3. The 2.00 extra charge adds incorrectly online... it adds 4.00 onto the subtotal! I have pointed this out, and they do not care, so I call now to place an order. 4. One delivery guy basically kicks my dog when he delivers the food, because my dog goes outside to smell him. He is a nice dog and not aggressive. But the guy is rude. ONLY reason this place gets 3-4 stars is because I enjoy the food, and its great on a "lets not cook" night!
(4)Chris B.
I have lived in this area 20 plus years. I am sure of one thing when it comes to a restaurant of this type and price range. East China Inn is the best.
(4)Chris D.
Went in there on a weekday absolutely starving and wasn't disappointed. The orange chicken was moist and well seasoned, and the rice it came with was good too. Can't say much for the decór (not that you're really there for it anyways) but this is probably my new favorite place for some good Chinese takeout.
(4)Charles S.
The food is great here . Little pricey as far as chinese food goes. The staff is friendly and attentive. They only need to work on prices and would be 5 star
(4)Matt E.
Decent food but horrible delivery service. I ordered and was given a 45 min time period. After an hour I called to check the status just to be told it may take an additional hour because they were waiting for their ONE driver to return. They said if I wanted my order sooner I would have to come pick it up.
(1)Vin M.
I come here for the best lunch special in town. You pay about $6 for for a huge portion of whatever you pick, served with tea and soup for FREE. Also realize that the ambiance is dated and although the service is quick, there is something left to be desired in the personality department. Great price Great portion Good quality Goofy decor Quick and indefferent service. I know what I am getting and I love it every time. Get a big portion of meat, vegatables, rice, and tea for less than a meal at any local fast food joint (where you recieve a burger, fries and a soda).
(5)Mike K.
Very good soup.. make sure to order extra rice as they are very small orders

This is a DINE-IN review! I live across the street from Chan's Gourmet and though we used to order there, the reviews of the new owners terrify me of even trying it again! We walked into East China Inn at 7:30pm on a Friday night expecting the place to be empty, but we were wrong. There were at least 6 tables filled with people...surprising for dine-in at a Chinese restaurant late on a Friday night! SERVICE: Slow. I saw at least 5 people that served tables, and several of them helped us, but I don't think we had a dedicated server. Perhaps this is how they always run the place, but we sat and waited at least 10 minutes before being given the opportunity to order. APPETIZERS: We ordered the crab rangoon and it was pretty standard compared to any other place I've had it before. They were served very quickly, so I'm sure they're made up ahead of time and just fried before ordering. FOOD: We shared the Sesame Chicken and ordered a side of Chicken Fried Rice. I really dislike that you can't substitute fried rice for the steamed rice here. I don't want white rice, it's being wasted. I'll pay the upcharge, but give me a discount for not taking the white rice and replacing it! I digress. The fried rice was wonderful! The sesame chicken was a bit spicy for my heat-seeking taste. I asked how it was prepared and I was told Medium but this was far from it. Thankfully I could pick around some of the red pepper flakes. Next time I'll ask for less spice or order something milder. Regardless of the spice, it was still great. Overall, the service was about what I expected, and the food was better than expected. Certainly for the price! The food was served in HUGE portions. For $23, my mom and I both ate a meal there, and we both had two additional meals for leftovers. Six meals for about $3.83 a serving. Cheaper than cooking! I'll definitely start ordering here instead of Chan's and will try take-out next time.

The food is very good and priced very affordable. The restaurant is clean and the service is very good.
(4)Tim H.
Great place for a quick dinner. Large portions and they'll bring more rice if you want it. Cocktails, $5 for most. Very extensive menu. I always take half home. Their tea is part of the meal. Ingrediants very fresh. I enjoy their spicy dishes, Red Hot China, as some of the other are bland. Servers are very attentive... as it was pretty dead in the dining room, this Tuesday evening. Four locations with on-line ordering.
(3)Tom M.
I honestly wish there was a way to give zero stars. Rude staff, flavorless food. This place was really good in years past, never going back again.
(1)Allison B.
We ordered vegetable fried rice for take-out and it had chicken in it. Very disappointing. Ruined my vegetarian boyfriend's dinner. Will go to Taste of China from now on.
(1)Tim D.
The food was pretty good, haven't been there in years. Wait staff friendly and the dining room was about half full. I would rate the food good, the service good, the staff good, parking good. The interior of the resturant is funny, pink and greenish blue?? Needs to be modernized but otherwise a nice place
(4)Brian G.
Online ordering = check. HUGE menu = check. Reasonable prices = check. Quality food = check. FAST delivery = check. This place has it all. It's not a Chinese Kitchen though - there's just a certain taste that CK has in Naperville that can not be beaten. We have relied on this place often for our egg roll and east china fried rice cravings. Their chop suey - all kinds - is actually pretty good. The delivery service is very fast - I have never waited more than 30 minutes for my food. They are not right down the street for me either - just about 5 miles away. The only problem here - like most Chinese food places - the person that takes your order is generally rude (does not say thank you, hello, answers the phone with a stern 'what do you want', etc.) I don't care too much about the quality of the service over the phone - the food makes up for it. If you're looking for a nice person to order your food from and have some sort of 'luxury' personality - take a step back and look at yourself... you're ordering take out Chinese food. Food that most people crave when they're hung-over, or having a lazy Sunday. This is not Mortons, Shaw's, Hugo's etc. I only make that comment for the tools that live in Oakhurst and feel that the world revolves around them - generally the people that have their head so far up their ass that they don't know what mediocre means and that it's ok that something is not served with a doily. Wow, talk about way off track. East China Inn - good food, fast delivery, online ordering, good prices. You can't find anything better in this area - it's a great place.

We have been visiting East China Inn at this location for more than 5 years. My kids have grown up eating from their lunch menu since they were babies. We don't visit for dinner very often, but go monthly, sometimes more often for lunch. I think they give generous servings at lunch as we almost always have leftovers to take home. The eggrolls are really good and we prefer their chicken noodle soup over the regular egg drop, wonton and hot/sour.
(4)Sunil C.
Unhygienic n old food please stay away if you want to stay healthy. Toilets are filthy and the staff unfriendly. Pass pass pass!!!
(1)Ryan R.
Tried this place after hearing great things about the North Aurora location from work. Mediocre at best. Heard the crab rangoon was amazing...it was soggy as if it was either microwaved, or sat out a while. The Mongolian Supreme wasn't too bad. My wife had cashew chicken, and it was fairly flavorless. She did say the veggie egg rolls were good. The chicken fried rice was flavorless also. It had the physical ingredients (sprouts, onion, etc) to be tasty, but lacked teriyaki/soy sauce...something to add goodness.
(2)Teresa K.
This place has the best crab rangoon. Plus they deliver and are nearby if i want a pickup. I'm not any chinese food expert but i've had BAD chinese elsewhere and I really love this place as our go-to delivery. It's just not great if you dine in. the atmnosphere is horrid and it seems to take forever to get your food. you should just order takeout and then sit at a table to get faster service :)
(4)Mikhail F.
The beef always tastes burnt to me, I don't recommend it. This place is incredibly cheap during lunch time, I recommend going then.
(2)M O.
I moved out here and I traveled to several Chinese restaurants. Needless to say, I was not impressed. I continued looking, then I found East China Inn - and it was heaven. The Crab Rangoon is required with every meal. The food is consistent and the service is great.
(5)Erica P.
A staple of our lazy-not cooking on the weekend-attitude...especially following a night of drinking and poker playin. We lived minutes from this restaurant for 4 years before trying it...I was a little scared of its quality being that it is in a dirty little strip mall...where buying our beer from the neighboring liquor store was ok, but eating from...not so sure. The first time we tried it (on a Saturday for lunch), it was very busy. Many of the customer's appeared to be local White Eagle Napervillians...groups of ladies, whole families with grandma-gramps-mom-dad-and kids, etc... The lunch specials were reasonably priced, plentiful, and good. I hate when I got to a Chinese restaurant where the egg roles suck, but theirs were good. I like spicy dishes and got the schezwan shrimp, it was also good. My husband likes pork fried rice and ONLY pork fried rice. He said it wasn't as good as his hometown "rice house" but it is sufficient and better than anything he has ever had since living in the Chicagoland area. We frequent the East China Inn for take out regularly and it is reliable. When I don't get the schezwan shrimp, I get the shrimp fried rice and like it very much. For an extra buck, I get the large and I am able to eat it for like 2-3 meals...usually what I need when I am hungover... As far as the blandness of the fried rice...I don't feel particularly strong about it...my husband likes dark fried rice (I can only assume that he likes it with alot of soy sauce); however, I like how East China Inn serves it and I usually put only a little soy sauce on it, if any. Obviously, blandness is a matter of preference that can be solved with packets of soy sauce.

The food was good. We went on a Monday evening and it was fairly busy. Despite this, the staff was extremely attentive.
(3)Caitlin O.
Stay away from the fried rice, it's bland and flavorless. The entrees, while not spectacular or remarkable in any way, shape or form are not objectionable. If you're in the area and craving Chinese, I guess they're alright, the service is fast and the staff are pleasant, but generally speaking I'll hold off.
(2)Frank P.
I guess it's alright but I know what good chinese food really tastes like. Priced right.
(2)Santiago A.
Dang, I thought I was going to be the first to review this place. I have had great Chinese food. One of my good friends growing up had the hook up, because his dad was an amazing Chinese chef. I gave this place 4-stars because it's in a place I wouldn't expect to find palatable Chinese food, let alone pretty good Chinese food. The crab rangoon is great and so is the Mongolian beef. Many things I've tried here are good. I would say my fav is the BBQ Pork fried rice. mmm. So, if you're in the area, then check it out. If you live in Chicago... well, if you're hungry...sure. Otherwise, wait until you're back closer to Chinatown. heh.
(4)Al W.
The food here is ok, being Asian, would expect more but it would be based on the clientele they are serving. Portions are average to small. Taste is not bad but nothing I feel I couldn;'t get somewhere else. New to the area, will definitely try other places to sample. This one would only be a fallback. Service is good so that is a good starting point.
(2)Ellen M.
I didn't have a very good meal here, but my friends thought it was ok. It tasted as though a large quanity was made at once, and I got my plate after it had sat too long - vegetables totally wilted. My daughter likes it because of the great fish tank, and she gets perverse pleasure watching those poor damned lobsters.
(2)Michael K.
This was some of the most bland food I have had. This is not far from my home so we tried multiple times to like this place. Each the food had either no flavor or an off flavor. I won't be back.
(1)Michael S.
Used to be better but has gone downhill. Mediocre food. I miss the experience from a few years ago... it just seems like either the cook left or the owners just don't care.
(2)Julie C.
Grew up in the city of Chicago where fabulous Chinese food is in abundance. Once we moved to Naperville and found the several Chinese restaurants three minutes from our home incredibly disappointing (then having to drive to Chicago to get our fix met), East China Inn was recommended (it's 15 minutes away). WOW; what a treat!!! The food is fabulous and the service, top-notch. When well-traveled, out-of-town company comes to visit and they're looking for Chinese food, we take them to East China Inn and they rave! So happy to have this place close by!
(5)Kristina W.
It doesn't look like much of anything from the outside but totally worth going in! Great prices for nice sized portions and the food it yummy! Love coming here when I get my cravings for Chinese food.
(5)John S.
Having eaten at there Batavia location many times I decided to bring my boyfriend here for dinner the other night. East China inn continues to have great quality food especially for the price. Portions here are huge. one dish is plenty for 2 people to share. The Mongolian beef here is very good. Probably my favorite place in the area for Mongolian beef. The decor here is dated and can use a little tlc but the food is worth it.
(4)Tim H.
All I can say about this place is that it is average and a little on the pricey side for the quality and amount of food that you get. The egg rolls are just ok. General tso chicken was not that spicy. Also stay clear of you have a gluten allergy. You will not be able to eat here unless you like eating your body weight in white rice, because that is the only thing that is safe. The unfortunate thing for myself is it is extremely close to my house so that would be the only reason I would eat there.
(2)Adams F.
Fantastic service and fantastic food, no disappointment here... One of the nicer in the area!
(5)Jennifer K.
We as a family have eaten here for 14 years. The food is consistent and the price is reasonable.
(4)John A.
Great Chinese food! Our Family orders take out often. We have never dined inside but always have done takeout. Crab Rangoons, Sweet and Sour Chicken, sesame chicken are great choices. I haven't found a bad thing on the menu. Orders are up quick, delivery is quick and the prices are fair. Give it a shot!
