Inside 2 Portion size 5 Good quality 4 I ordered a lunch special the portion size was huge - easily enough for two people. The food was solid. The vegetables and chicken were cut well and the sauce was just spicy enough. A little sketchy inside but clean.

Honestly, I've never tasted Chinese food that taste so good it makes you feel like you're in China eating Chinese fried rice. Great customer service in and out highly recommended if you're in the area check it out.

I was skeptical at first because I saw this business only had three out of five stars. But my boyfriend strongly recommended it so I gave it a try. I was very surprised to find out that the food was very good. I have a five star pallet and I am very hard to please. I was definitely pleased with the vegetable war mein And the breaded fried vegetables. I wish they gave me the red sweet-and-sour sauce to eat with them they just gave me packets and the smoothie had too much sugar for me but was still good and quality drink. I strongly recommend this place for Chinese! The best I've had in Chicago.

I am a massive Chinese/Cantonese food fanatic & I have been to many places across IL, I can say confidently that First Chop Suey is by large & far one of the best I have visited. My all time favorites are.. #1 Shanghai(it was in Little Village for 35 yrs but the owners retired in 99' and moved back to Hong Kong) #2 China Ho(Right off of Archer & Pulaski) #3 The Ho King(33rd & S. Ashland Ave, It was supposedly closed in 00' due to the owner having legal troubles) These are my top 3, The food was especially authentic & great tasting. The closest I have coming to finding a place that serves this level of deliciousness is First Chop Suey!
