Wu’s Garden Chinese Restaurant

Best Chinese food ever! Only place I will order Chinese from in the burbs. I live in Elgin and always make the 30 min drive. I’m very picky about my fried rice and Wu’s is the only place I trust. Serving sizes are pretty large, they stuff the rice to where the box can barely close.

Don’t order the crab Rangoon, there’s no filling in them. We called to inform them of this and they responded with «we’re under new management and that’s how they come now.» Everything else was good, just don’t appreciate them ripping me off.

They have no website or menu posted anywhere on the internet. I took a picture of the menu and will post it.
I ordered Takeout, Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken Sticks. I was told 30 minutes and the food came in about 22 minutes. This is slower than most Chinese takeout restaurant, but they seemed to be busy since the phone was ringing a lot. I think they just have one cook and the front desk person.
The Chicken Fried Rice was delicious. It came with a lot of chicken and scrambled eggs cut up. The Chicken Sticks were also very good and were cooked in Sesame Oil, which gave it a great flavor.

I have never had a bad meal yet. My usual is pot stickers, combo fried rice, and moo shu pork or beef and broccoli. Service is always quick and good pricing.

Food is good, fairly priced and service is quick. It’d be even better if they delivered… but it’s close to home so the drive isn’t too bad. Their egg rolls are to die for, I could eat just egg rolls and be fine. Overall this is my second go-​to Chinese place, only because their chicken and broccoli is made with a clear sauce rather than a dark sauce… so it’s decent but not my favorite. I love their veggie fried rice however, and their beef and broccoli is delicious.

I enjoyed Wu’s Garden, the food was good and a very good portion for the price. We ordered moo-​shoo pork and vegetable fried rice. The pork was my favorite, very good and comes with huge pancakes so no need to get extra. The rice was a little under-​flavored but it was still really good. Just needed a little soy sauce. Overall, really good.

Had Wu’s for the first time tonight, and I loved it! We had General Tsao’s Chicken, Beef w/​broccoli, Chicken fried rice, and Crab Rangoon. Everything was awesome! Found my new favorite Chinese Restaurant!

I’ve tried almost everything on the menu at least twice. I can’t find anything I don’t like. The food is always consistent and delightful. I just wish they would deliver! Give them a shot it’s well worth it.

Breading/​batter ratio to protein not good. Like 75:25. Batter is too thick and hard to bite into. Bland and thin sauce for orange chicken. Vegetable delight is nothing special. Not my choice for chinese food even it’s very close to our house. The staff are nice though.

Great local Chinese food have been going here for years of cravings. Decent prices most orders take 15 minutes to prepare. You can’t go wrong with the combination fried rice.

Good food, reasonably priced.
We ordered 2 types of egg rolls (regular & vegetarian), both were crispy with tasty filling. My wife had the egg drop soup, which she said was very good, and the chicken fried rice was excellent. I really enjoyed the yu-​shan chicken. The portions are good sized, too.
Docked a star for no delivery service.

I love the food at Wu’s Garden. It is a nice family owed Chinese takeout. It is not very expensive but the food is delicious and plentiful. I love the face you can just order the «Chicken Nuggets» you would normally get with sweet and sour chicken.

Wu’s is the definition of a hidden gem. Most people will rave about the egg rolls, and rightfully so. However, people forget to mention how amazing the food is. They make fantastic, TRADITIONAL Chinese food. That means you need to forget about the orange chicken and pseudo chinerican nonsense. If you want flavorless garbage, head over to Panda’s.
I personally love the hunan beef and chicken. This spicy and garlicy concoction is making me salivate right now. Fried rice is delicious, and their spicy pork is always a hit. Let’s not forget about the portion sizes.
All in all, you need to check this place out if you are in the area. Also note, there are other great places in the same strip mall.

I kept seeing this place on the top restaurants in my area list. After reading all the positive reviews I finally decided to give it a shot. Usually I’m not one for Chinese takeout but this place was literally 5 minutes from my house so why not. I ordered:
The egg rolls: Just about every review raved about these things and I can see why. They are like a quarter pound to half a pound per egg roll and are stuffed with Chinese barbequed pork and vegetables. I would say 3 is enough for a full lunch for me. (1.50 each)
The Beef Chow Fun: At around 10 dollars, this seemed a little pricey for Chinese takeout but I admit I was wrong… wanna know why?
CUS THEY GAVE ME 5 POUNDS OF FOOD!!!
I’m not joking, the dish weighed literally 4 – 5 pounds. After 2 giant egg rolls l could only finish like ¹⁄₆ of this massive pile of beef, noodles and veges. The flavor was good but nothing special. The quantity of food is just absurd.
So to sum things up, this place makes great egg rolls and giant dishes of food. If you want to get your money’s worth, give this place a shot, I’m sure your belly will hate you after you stretch it like a water balloon with tasty Chinese takeout.

Very good food! Very polite what appears to be couple who runs it. The man who answers phones is extremely hard to understand, but the two times we’ve gone they have gotten everything correct. Our new local chinese place.

After driving by this place for a few years I decided to give this place a try. Decent Chinese food and just OK egg rolls. I have had much better tasting egg rolls and larger in size than Wu’s. The pork fried rice was a huge portion and was ok. Order was ready in 10/​15min. Take out only.

Restaurant Review
Chinese carry out galore! You can’t go wrong with Wu’s garden. This has been a staple restaurant for chinese food since I liver here in Bartlett for the past 15 years. The food is always cooked to order and piping hot. The prices are good and the portions are ample. Even the left overs (which there always is) heats up nicely the following day. Staff is friendly. The best would have to the egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce.
Pro– best egg rolls, quick service, cook to order, big portions, good prices
Con– none
Hidden deal– none

We’ve gotten Wu’s a few times. We always order too much food! If you order a full order of anything, expect to share it, including the fried rice. The food is good, not great, but fast. It’s pick-​up only, but at a very convenient location and rarely seems to be busy. The prices are VERY reasonable.
The Beef and Broccoli is great, but their Sweet’n Sour sauce could use some work. It’s way too sweet and loaded with pineapples. The fried rice is full of bean sprouts, which I like, but you may not. You have been warned.
We got it last night and didn’t even make a dent. Holy cow, we’ll be eating Chinese for a week! But it reheats well, so I can’t say that’s a bad thing…

Great tasting, consistant, inexpensive mandarin cuisine!

Recommended for your basic fast-​food Chinese takeout. Their egg rolls are excellent — super crispy & with tasty insides. Our commonly ordered dishes are chicken fried rice (you’ll have leftovers for lunch the next day), and Shrimp with Pea Pods.
Overall, I haven’t had any bad dishes there. And the people there are quite nice.
