Hua's Open Kitchen

I visited this restaurant on 11/05/22 around the 12:00PM hour. I actually ate here years ago back in the early 1990’s but instead of playing it safe. I decided to order a dish I wasn’t quite familiar with and I wasn’t happy with so I decided not to come here anymore. Yesterday I came here wanting to try some Chinese food close to my house in the neighborhood. I came here and the cashier was pleasant, the food ordered was available within the 15/20 minutes given and the place itself looked, just okay - no seating/very small. I ordered chicken fry rice, pepper steak and chicken egg foo young. The chicken fry rice was good, hot, spicy I like, chicken tender and plenty of beans sprouts which I also love. The pepper steak was spicy I like again, the meat was tender and the gravy was thick but a little sweet tasting not my favorite, but I ended up putting black pepper on my dish which killed some of the sweet tastes. The chicken egg foo young was cooked soft NICE and I big fan of the brown gravy ANOTHER NICE, the white chicken meat ANOTHER NICE, but it tasted kind of bland overall. I noticed some negative reviews and my experience was fairly decent, but I have been saying this for a minute. It all comes down to who is cooking the food that day, the inconsistencies is crazy with a lot of these restaurants. I came here today and had a decent experience but I could easy come here another day and my experience will be a utter disappointment!!! Parking: U can’t park next door but there is always parking near this lotion around and even a couple blocks over.

This place is so good that imma do the whole menu try stuff I've never tried just cause i know everything is gonna taste delicious. Place is small and there is seating. I've been going there for a long time. Never seen anybody dine in. But u can. Give it a shot. Totally worth it.Food: 5/5

This is the worst quality hot food in the area. You might as well go to a Panda Express for this level of grease and msg. Truly gross, and that sucks because everyone working there is generally quite nice but their food is a travesty to Asian culture on the whole. Your best bet for authentic Chinese of any kind on the south side is in Hyde park.

The last 2 times I was there the food was pretty mediocre. This place had been excellent for many years. I suspect there have been some changes in the kitchen, the long time cashier girl is now the cook for starters. The luncheon specials used to be good and all came with fresh shrimp fried rice, now it only comes with blah plain fried rice. There are also long waits for pick up. It's a shame I really liked this place in the past and it's going downhill.

I brought my wife her favorite mealFood: 2/5

Purchased on 08-02-22 large Singapore Combination includes, chicken, shrimp and beef at Hua's Express Chop Suey. Cost w/ tax $15.00. The beef was totally left out although I paid for a full Combination. You should be ashamed of yourself.

The beef fried rice with Xtra green onion and egg with the watermelon/ Strawberry smoothie!Food: 5/5

This is the kind of place that just makes you happy. Food is wonderful, service is even better. I order out from here every week, because it is the best food around.

My family loves Hua's We eat at Hua's at least once a week One of our favorite restaurants.

The food was poor. Shrimp was so soft & no taste at all. Very mushy
