Leu’s Oriental Chop Suey

Our usual Chinese place. I’m not a big Chinese fan, but I do like the chicken teriyaki and crab rangoon. They also have french fries, and the egg rolls are good.

I know they’ve been under new ownership for a few years and a few items on the menu are prepared a little differently, but I still enjoy the BBQ pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and mongolian beef. I think they are exceptionally generous with their serving portions as well and I find the owners very friendly. 4 stars for the above. Minus 1 star only because I do miss the old owners way of making chop suey and chow mein.

I ordered Mongolian Beef and they gave me some Burnt beef on top of some noodles. They said it’s the new style and didn’t refund me. It was horrible and the beef tasted like crap.

Some of the worst Chinese I ever had. Fried rice had no egg in it, over salted. Burned and looked black. Also ordered bbq pork, chewy, tasted like old meat, bad bbq sauce. Crab Rangoon was cooked well, but very little filling. Not ever going back.

I really enjoy there food, and the woman and man that own it are extremely kind. I really like there egg rolls!

Very good chop suey. Place has been there forever. Always an enjoyable meal. I had beef fried rice and pot stickers as well.

They deliver to River Grove! Hurray! The prices are dirt cheap, and that lowers my standards a bit. At this price point I am excited that the vegetables are fresh and whole, the sauces tasty and the whole meal has a nice fresh homemade flavor. The sauces aren’t too heavy or overpowering or syrupy. Quite good, a great value.

NEVER AGAIN! We ordered food at 5:40 PM for delivery. We were a bit unsettled by the fact that they needed directions to get to our house (who these days does not have access to a GPS, smart phone or a map) which is about 1 mile from the restaurant. We gave directions to the girl on the phone, and she repeated them back to us. We called back at 7 PM and they said the driver was out with the food. Called back at 7:30, and was told the same thing. Called back at 8 PM, and the woman who answered the phone said the driver tried to find the house twice, (HELLO GPS!) and told us to come and pick up the food. After working 10 hours, and waiting over 2 more hours for delivery, the last thing we want to do is pick it up! When asked why the delivery driver did not call, we were told he doesn’t speak English. I guess she couldn’t call us and translate for the driver… Very frustrated. BTW, at least we had a frozen pizza to cook. No more chances Leu’s. Hire a real driver… We should’ve called Asian Express, we would have ate by 6:30−7 PM.

My favorite Chinese takeout place in the area. Nice people and good food. Best of all, you get a pretty good amount of food for your money.

Yuck. The end.
Ok, allow me to elaborate. It really was a waste of my money. Kung Pao chicken had no nuts. Nor flavor. Nor spice. General tso chicken was super sweet, kind of chewy, and not spicy at all. Egg rolls were greasy. Egg drop soup was extremely slimy. I felt like I was licking Slimer type of slimy. Eeww. Fried rice was dry and had way too much soy sauce. And I think I’ve sufficiently justified my initial statement of yuck. The end.

Definitely one of the better Chinese Carry Out restaurants in the Franklin Park/​Bensenville area. The prices are resonable and portions are good. The owners are very nice as well.
I highly recommend the pot stickers.

I’ve had Leu’s a few times and each time it’s been disappointing. The quality seems a step below other Chinese restaurants, and there’s always too much of something — usually salt. If you’re around Franklin Park and want Chinese food, go with China Gate.

I was very disappointed in a meal I recently ordered from Leu’s and can only attribute the decline in quality to the new ownership/​management. Let’s face it – most people have realistic expectations when it comes to Chinese takeout; it is a quick –usually tasty– solution to an impromptu dinner, with the main emphasis being on convenience. However, I DO expect that the vegetables in a sub gum dish will be chowed a bit longer than15 seconds and any nuts in the dish will not be rancid. Evidently my sights were set way too high – the sub gum sucked and for the above-​stated reasons. When I called Leu’s to voice the complaint, the person answering my call was indifferent and shrugged it off. Though I did not expect to get a refund –or a choice of another dish (which BTW was not forthcoming) — I absolutely expected at least an apology for having to pay for a meal that went in the garbage.
Save your money and order elsewhere. Leu’s used to be a real gem for the money but the new owners/​managers have really screwed up the menu.

This used to be one of my favorite Chinese places, but the change in ownership has not been positive. The old owner had great quality and taste. Neither seems to be present in the new recipies. I have been told that if you request the «old recipie», you will get it the way it used to be, but I really didn’t care for the new style enough to try it again.
