I have become a regular, ordering about once every-other-week- don't judge me till you've tried the kung-pao-chicken ;) Full of fresh veggies, and delicious. Yes it is a bit pricier than other places but so far this is the best carry-out chinese I've had in my 5 years living in the neighborhood. Also, the delivery is super quick and friendly!

Ordered: Lunch Special (Sesame Chicken, Vegetable Egg Roll, Fried Rice)This is my first visit and I'm quite pleased. My order was ready for pickup when I arrived and was still warm. The portions were a good size (not too much for lunch). The egg roll was wonderful; nice and crunchy outside, stuffed with veggies, and a little bit greasy. The chicken was tasty and again crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The sesame sauce was pretty basic (not overly sweet or spicy) but had a nice bold aftertaste. The fried rice was just that, white rice friend with soy sauce; disappointing as there were no green onions or seasonings in there, but it was fresh.I would definately visit again.

Wah Sun has totally become my go to Chinese restaurant - for delivery / carry out. Although it's a bit more expensive than a lot of other local places, I find the quality of food and portion sizes to be worth the price. The food is always ready when it says it is going to be, and often times the delivery is ahead of the quoted 45 minute time.What I do not like about Wah Sun is their dine in menu is exceptionally limited compared to their carry out menu, and under no circumstances will they sub out menu items, regardless of whether or not you are willing to incur an upcharge. I have eaten here once and will likely never do so again.So tl;dr - Great Chinese food delivery / carryout. Not so great dine in.

Good, but not the greatest.Hot and sour soup was delicious.Moo shu chicken was ok, nothing special, but still good.Portions large.Order through their website and save a little money.

WORST food and WORST place for families!I've gone a few times because it has free parking and cheap eats for their lunch special. The cheap eats and empty place should have clued me in (as you get what you pay for right?!?).First time I went, I brought my 15 month old son who wasn't eating much Chinese. Now most restaurant employees are normally pretty nice to little ones but the waitress kept saying "Baby no, baby no" when he would drop one of his food bites on the floor. I told her that I would pick it up (like most parents I know) when we were done. She hovered a bit more with that but I thought nothing of it. Food was just as you would expect, loaded in clear, corn-starchy gravy, over salted and no other taste aside from that...again, cheap so didn't expect much.Next went with parents from out of town. They liked it because you get a lot of food for 7 bucks, but food was tasteless. That's just how my parents see things now I guess. Cheap bargains.I went again just recently. Now my son is 2.5. We went to the bathroom first, which seemed to annoy the waitress but we're potty training so that's what we do. When we got to the table, my son grabbed the salt shaker and started shaking salt on the table. The same waitress from before waited on us and said "baby no!". I told her not to worry, that I would handle it. I started to order with her and she was ignoring me and again focused on my son saying "No!". I again said, I'm his mother, I'll take care of it and again tried to order. This time she snatched the shaker from my son's hands and loudly said "No baby, no!". That was my last straw.I asked to speak to the owner. She said she was an owner. So I asked her with her restaurant being SO empty, why she was treating customer's like that even though I told her I'd handle it. She said he shouldn't do that and I wasn't handling the situation. Again, this was SALT. I should have taken a pic to show how little was on the table. I told her I was trying to order with her and if she would have let me finish it would have been fine. I reminded her how little salt it was and how easy the clean up would be but we continued to argue. I said I would take my business elsewhere and she then snatched the menu from my hands at which point we picked up and left.I waitressed for many years in college and know it can be hard cleaning up after little kids. However they have lost us as customer's and we will tell every family we know not to go there. I do see mostly elderly people there the times I went so maybe that's the crowd she caters to but if she really is an owner, she should be ashamed of herself!!

Writing this before I slip into a food coma after consuming ham fried rice, an egg roll and some crispy chicken wings.So full.Now first off, I can't help but feel a little guilty because House of Wah Sun is NOT my go-to Chinese restaurant even though it's been around FOREVER. But I did want to give them a go before I continue on my quest to try everything on Shanghai Inn's menu.The verdict? A-okay. My rice was a touch bland, but the wings and egg roll made up for it. That and drowning everything in sriracha. I also really enjoyed that they gave me almond cookies with my order.I also ordered wonton soup, but it didn't make the cut in that I was too full to even open it up. Looking forward to giving that a shot for lunch tomorrow.Good portion sizes and pricing, might have to actually stop by one day as they have a full bar.

OK, this is tardy, sorry, shoot me, eh?Sorry to differ with you, John, Jules, Jennifer, Nikkie and Andie.......Backstory:I LOVE Chinese food. Erm, correction, I love GOOD Chinese food. I was immensely spoiled while attending UICC (now it's UIC), among my local friends & co-workers was a (cute) Chinese girl whose dad owned Chinese Lanterns on Argyle (her uncle was the cook). Way PAST heaven, out into the universe, the food was that good. NOT that we were special in any way (Grin).That was then, this is now:A few weeks ago, stopped in to order egg rolls, beef w/pea-pods, combo fried rice, barbecued pork. Yum! Rushed to my S.O.'s (she was starving, too) and gleefully anticipated a wondrous repast....talk about Murphy's Law..Blow-by-blow is:egg rolls - pretty good, could have used more time in the fryer.combo fried rice - tastelessbeef/peapods - tastelessbarbecued pork - no sauce (?!), just pork. tasteless.No, my sinuses weren't clogged up, I have EXcellent taste memory (that's problematic, as you can well imagine, and the impetus for these reviews)...The stuff simply tasted.. OLD. Decrepit.I requested a refund (wouldn't you?)...OK, so you'd think the manager (sorry, forgot his name) would say something like"oh, gee, ok, bring it back, we'll give you new stuff or refund your $36+".Nahhhhhhhhhhhh. More like "what? we've been here [insert bogus number here] years, noone has EVER complained..(read: what's YOUR problem, eh?)". Yah, no complaints never nohow noway? I sure don't believe That.They're off of my list permanently.They deservedly get Zero stars.Perhaps we just got a bad batch of .. everything we ordered.. hmmm..Will stick to the old-tried-and-true, deLICIOUS (IMNSHO) Chinese food available at a place on Pulaski and Foster, near the Jewel. Hint: no, it's not May, so don't expect to see a pretty Flower. They have multiple reviews here, methinks.Bon Appetito.

I have yet to make a 5 star review, this might be it. def 4-5 stars.I went to this place with a good friend in highshcool ( a soccer mate whom I have since grown apart from) introduced me to this place. His mom knew how much I loved the Fun wide noodles. She always said something about those. I LOVED the chow fun wide fried noodle!Years later I noticed the noodles were a bit greasy. Still the Soups and noodles are sick awesome superb. I love inexpensive places like this with superb food (better than fancy expensive places most often or always).

First of all, free parking which is rare in Chicago. They have a private lot :)The food were fresh and delicious. I recommend the hot & sour soup. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants outside China Town.The service was great. Everybody was courteous and we never had to look for our server, she always checks on us.

The House of Wah Sun has been a North Center staple for almost 40 years. After passing this place 1,000 times over the past 40 years, I finally decided to check it out. Dare you ask, why have I never stopped into the house of Wah Sun? Answer: The idea of dining in a strip mall makes me break out in hives. The decor is tacky to say the least. It looks like the set of some bad, 70's Kung Fu movie. The good news is, the food is fantastic.My travels have taken me all over the World. It seems like where ever I go, I always manage to find a dynamite Chinese restaurant. The problem is, I have never found a place like that in Chicago. I may have finally found my Go-To Chinese place. And what makes it even better, it's 4 blocks from my house.The food is nothing short of mouth watering. I put Wah Sun to the ultimate test. I ordered my favorite dish. The General Tso's chicken. I was pleasantly surprised. Their version of this Chinese staple was amazing. It has just enough spice and featured huge chunks of lightly battered chicken. I loved every bite.Here's the bottom line: You really can't judge a book by it's cover. From the outside, House of Wah Sun looks dingy and tacky, on the inside, they serve some amazing Grub. I wish I would have checked this place out earlier. It was pretty damn good!!

Let me just tell you that I love Chinese food as much as the next girl. My husband adores Chinese and loves it from almost anywhere.That's how I know that this was bad. It was bland, boring and downright almost inedible. We got takeout on a rainy Sunday, hungover, in desperate need of good greasy food. We ordered Sesame Chicken, so bland we put it in a pan to add some extra ingredients to it to make it edible. The Beef and Broccoli - gross. The chicken fried rice was okay - definitely the highlight of a forgettable meal.Won't be back.

This is our favorite place to get Chinese in the city period. Amazing hot and sour soup and lick your fingers beef and broccoli.It is is a place that I call when were both exhausted and need some great comfort food.When the weather is nice we will take a walk and go to there for some amazing Hawaiian inspired drinks that come with cute little umbrellas.The only complaint I have is that they are closed Mondays, other than that they simply Rock.

This is by far one of my favorite restaruants. The crab ragoons are my absolute favorite in the entire city.We order take out from here a lot, and it's always delivered in about half the time that they quote, and it's always piping hot and fresh. The staff is friendly, and when you dine in they're just the right amount of attentive, not too pushy.I'm a BIG fan of Wah Sun.

I don't get it. How does this place have regulars? How has it been here so long?The only part I understand is the kitchy, charming, old school Chinese divey restaurant thing it's got going on.But the food was exactly what I expected. Watered down, not fresh, covered in thick clear goop, filled with water chestnuts and all the clear vegetables that lack taste.The reason I never go to places like this is because I always suspect the food will taste as I just described. So sad. My dad liked it, though, and daddy paid.

I've been dying to go here for literally over a year. Far longer than really any Chinese restaurant is worth pining for (well, at least any Chinese restaurant in Chicago). From the outside, this place does not look like the epitome of upscale dining. It's kitty corner from a Jewel and the Golden Angel diner. But I'm a sucker for solid Chinese food, which is surprisingly difficult to find outside of Chinatown.So I went in with expectations sky-high and I can say I was not disappointed. A few pot-stickers and egg rolls to start was an excellent choice. The egg rolls are short and stocky, plump full of tasty meat and veggies, while the pot stickers are surprisingly generous in proportion. I split a beef with green peppers and tomato with my lovely female companion and it was still too much that we had a box to take home. The entree was good, but a little on the bland side, enough to knock a star off here. Still, it's simply an excuse to go back, hopefully sooner than a year...Major points for fountain soft-drinks rather than cans. This is literally a deal-maker for me and I don't care what you think.
