Luo’s Peking House

disgusting food. Complained to the owner and he flipped his hand at me off and walked away. Insulting (haha) service. Horrible horrible food
.

A few times we have ordered the Beef Fried Rice, Kung Pao Chicken, Cashew Chicken, and Orange Chicken. All of the dishes had great flavor. The downsides are the orange chicken was ordered for a child and was the only one eating the dish but it only comes in one size-​Large, a side of hot chili sauce was asked for but they only gave 1 which spilled all over the bag, they can be more friendly when taking phone orders, and lastly delivery can take long. Food tastes good though– so we will continue to order delivery from Luo’s.

I wanted to take down that neon sign on the way out! Worse Chinese food experience ever.
They claim they have the best sweet and sour chicken and it was just horrible.
That 1 star is going to the huge goldfish in the tank when you walk in and the other star goes to the friendly staff and for price decent. Chef gets !

Luo’s Peking House is an average Chinese restaurant. The food is ok, the menu is reasonably priced, and they give good portions. They deliver but they’re slow on snowy days.
I tried their egg rolls, wontons, wonton soup, potstickers, scallion pancake, orange chicken, chicken with peapods, and Mongolian chicken — all pretty good.
By the way, the banner of their website says «LOU’s Peking House» instead of «LUO’s Peking House». Because of this spelling mistake, I subconsciously rate the restaurant lower than it really is.

I wouldn’t even give this restaurant a 1 star if I had an option. There is much to be desired overall but I will just stick to the food I ordered (beef fried rice, veggie egg roll and corn soup)
1.) The corn soup was cold and it taste like it had been sitting in a can or a container for a while because it had a very interesting after taste.
2.) The veggie egg rolls was also cold and tastes as if it were stuffed with mud and carrots
3.) The beef fried rice was microwaved. Food was hot on the inside and cold in the outside. The meat that was suppose to be beef looked like cooked muskrat and tastes like rubber.
Food was awful. Oak Park Health should inspect this location for food health risks.

Luo’s peking house is fast, reasonably priced, and they deliver. Food is… Good. It’s nothing too special but it is a good Chinese takeout place. I did not enjoy the Orange chicken, it was soggy. The Fried rice is delicious. Got this chicken/​corn chowder soup, try it! It’s very light, like an egg drop soup with corn but something different and the corn makes it a little sweet.

I think I’ve ordered delivery there for the last time. The BBQ Pork was tough, the Crispy Duck was like Duck Jerky, and to top it off I specifically asked for a total when I was on the phone ordering. They said a total, so I prepared some cash to include tip. Then when the delivery guy arrived not too long after, he looks at me like I’m the idiot because it was 3 dollars more than what I was told on the phone (and I wrote it down).
Almost $ 29 for 2 appetizers and an entrée? Forget it. My jaws are still a little sore!
PS– I’ve ordered from there for years, but no more!

Fried rice was delicious. Super hot when I got it. Crab Rangoon had a pretty thick wonton shell and maybe not enough filling for me, but was tasty. Delivery was fast on a Saturday night.

Eh. I’ve had better. I really liked the egg drop soup, but the chicken and veggies I ordered was very bland and had way too much soupy sauce. I’m used to bigger dinner portions, but I guess it was pretty cheap. I might come back again and get something different, just because they were pretty fast and cheap, but not my favorite.

Terrible… and slow delivery times.

Great food and excellent service even on a busy Valentines day last minute! The orange chicken is great, and the egg rolls are delicious! Glad to have finally found good Chinese food so close to home.

I came for lunch and ordered the house special fried rice which cost $ 4.95 which includes a well flavored corn soup and a spring roll for appetizers. It was a good bang for the buck.
I loved the fried rice in this place — the rice is sufficiently dry, roasted and fried with fresh ingredients — chicken, beef and shrimp together with onions, peas, eggs. Very tasty. Unlike other Chinese restaurants, the fried rice is quite flavorful and well seasoned. Tasted great.
The staff was attentive and came three times to fill up to the cup with water. Will come back again for the house special fried rice and for lunch.

First place i ordered Chinese in Oak Park and been going back for more ever since. used to live within a stones throw so it was my Friday night Staple, but have since moved and discovered New Star, but recently dined in for lunch at Luo’s and fell in love all over.
The lunch special coms with soup and egg roll with your entrée, and the entrée portion is very generous. Orange chicken, Cashew Shrimp and Kung Po Shrimp wee all flavorful, plentiful and just good. Have always loved their egg rolls.

I’m a fan of Luo Peking! My first time visiting today and I will definitely be back. I ordered the chicken and vegetable lunch special which included an eggroll and fried rice all for under $ 6. The portion was very satisfying and the food delicious. I was especially impressed that it wasn’t greasy, which is a plus in my book. Next time I’m in downtown Oak Park, I’ll be back again.

Excerpt from ‘Rush Hour’:
Chris Tucker (as Det. James Carter): Damn Chen, dis some greasy shit! You ain’t got no better food like some chicken wings, some baby back-​ribs, some fries or something?
(Streetside Chinese food vendor) Chen: This Chinese food! No soul food here!
Carter: I ain’t say nothing about no soul food. I said ain’t you got some better food? I don’t want that greasy shit. How you gonna sell a big box of grease?
Chen: Fung geneo bunkwain!
Carter: I’m a chilly what?
Chen: I’m no punk bitch!
Carter: I ain’t no punk bitch neither!
After careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that Luo’s Kung Pao chicken is exactly what Chris Tucker got in ‘Rush Hour’ – a big box of grease. How bad was it? The grease from the NOT microwave-​safe (metal staples) take-​home container went thru its own box, a paper bag, a wad of napkins… and onto my futon mattress, for which there is now a noticeable stain that smells like chili oil.
Although it’s not the –worst– stain on my bed, it’s the most recent, and is enough for me to not want to order from Luo’s anymore. Egg drop soup was good. Crab rangoons were solid. Communication difficulties over the phone (all I understood was ‘egg drop’, ‘your total $ 11.50′) and a disappointing entrée leave me wanting better Chinese.
I ain’t no punk bitch… which is why I’ll be henceforth ordering my takeaway from Katy’s Dumpling.

I would be lying if I said I’ve lived a long life, but in the time I have been on this earth, I have eaten a lot — a LOT — of Chinese food, all over the country. And I will always regard Lou’s as my favorite Chinese restaurant. I’ve been eating from here literally my entire life, I was born and raised in Oak Park by parents who have lived here for 25 years and know a thing or two about food. If it’s my decision to eat Chinese, I’m eating Lou’s.
A small, dive-​y, whole in the wall place, with friendly staff and delicious food. It’s not expensive, the dishes are more than enough to share, the food is fast and hot. It’s quintessential Chinese food to me.
I work at an Asian restaurant in the loop, and we are regarded to have «the best crab rangoon in the city», and in my opinion, I would rather have Lou’s any day.

This is the ONLY place to get chinese around Oak Park. The lunch special is spectacular, with the chicken corn soup I dream about, and an egg roll that comes with your meal.
But I also like ordering for dinner here, it’s reasonably priced and the delivery is fast. I consistently order the crab rangoon, sweet and sour chicken, the soup mentioned above, and almond cookies… mmmm.
But my cohorts tell me great things about the beef, orange chicken, etc etc etc. The beef appetizer on a stick is delish, And I have friends who routinely steal my egg rolls.
This is our favorite chinese place and I always end up back here.
YUM

Can I leave negative stars? No? Oh, well. It’s 8:03p, and our delivery was supposed to be here at 6:56p. We’ve each tried calling, and each time the person who answers clearly says «Hello, how can I help you?» in English. As soon as we say our order is really late, she starts speaking very fast in some super thick accent (but it’s the same person??) that «food coming-​food coming-​so sorry!» Super weird.
How hard is it to call and just say, «I’m so sorry, but we’re running very behind, and your order will be delivered closer to 90 min.» Oh, cause then we’d cancel the order. But hey, what are we doing now anyway? That’s right, cancelling an order. Oh, and we’re also just now starting to make dinner for our kids as we’d thought they’d be eating by now. So, now they’ve got a cancelled order, plus some pretty irate customers who are also now leaving a 1 star review.
We’ve ordered from them in the past and liked it, but won’t ever again since it turned into a «will they come?» gamble. Too bad.
UPDATE: At 8:20, we got a call that the delivery person was outside. We looked and no one’s there. He’s wandering down the street. Needless to say, the food is cold, and who knows when it was made, at 5:30p or 7:30p. Guess they plan on the microwave being part our dining experience.

I will definitely keep Luo’s in mind if I’m ever pregnant with quadruplets, which is the only explanation for my ever craving something so random that I’d actually eat here again.
Where to start? Maybe with my ignored delivery instructions? I had a three year old down for a nap and specifically noted for the delivery man NOT to ring the doorbell. Guess who had a short nap that day?
I was willing to overlook the begrudging delivery driver’s poor service in light of my highly anticipated sesame chicken, but as it turned out, customer service is the least of Luo’s problems.
My chicken not only tasted terribly like chemically addressed sesame oil; it was also so soggy the fried skin wasn’t attached to the nuggets of fowl. So gross.
Skip this place. Save yourself a dollar.

The category for this restaurant is definitely not Szechuan. It’s Chinese — Cantonese, Chinese American style. My husband and I came here yesterday for some Chinese food. We didn’t want to drive to Chinatown, and good Chinese food is hard to find around our area.
It was pretty quiet when we arrive. Our waitress was nice. She filled our water many times and came to check up on us. I ordered the chow tee (which is beef chow fun) and my husband ordered the rainbow fried rice. I felt the chow tee was pretty oily. Taste wise it was okay, could be better. My husband’s fried rice was a little below average. We also had velvet chicken corn soup. I could taste it was loaded with corn starch because of the thickness. Less corn and chicken., mostly liquids.
A bit disappointed here, but oh well… didn’t have high expectations anyway.
