Darien Chop Suey

Chinese food is good, and good portions.
But their Thai food is greasy and noodles weren’t Cooked evenly in pad see eiw, too much noodles
And I asked for extra broccoli and was charged 2 dollars and didn’t get extra broccoli. The manager said «we decide how much extra you get «because Chinese broccoli is expensive. Maybe they need a little better customer service because they didn’t seem to want to make anything better for me. There was a handful of broccoli but definitely not extra. Sorry but I won’t order thai food here again

I’ve tried a few Chinese places in the area and this one is my favorite so far. They have solid shrimp fried rice with a decent amount of veggies and little shrimp. I prefer this preparation. I don’t like it when there are 3 large shrimp on top cause I want to get shrimp on each bite. The pot stickers are ginormous but tasty. The Singapore noodles were dry and not that spicy so I’d stay away from those. But if you’re like me and like veggies and small shrimp in your fried rice, this is a good spot.

First visit and the food was amazing. It was ready quickly and all of the family took do emptying the containers.
The Singapore Noodle is one of the best we have ever had.
We all liked the Orange Chicken.
Pineapple curry was just OK.

Pretty decent tasting food. The Mongolian beef lunch special had good flavor, but short in beef… too much green pepper & onions. The $ 6.95 included fried rice, egg roll & eggdrop soup. A lot of food for the price! I’d go back when in the area.

Finally a place with great Chinese/​Thai takeout !!!
I placed a delivery order and saw on the website there’s a coupon for free crab rangoon if you order $ 20 or more. The gentleman that took my order informed me that my order was not $ 20 but he told me that he would give me the free Crab Rangoon anyway. Thank you !
after about 45 minutes, My food arrived pretty hot, the crab rangoon is ok not the best but not the worst.
I had the basil fried rice with tofu, the portion is big and they gave me a lot of tofu pieces !!!
The pad see ew is pretty decent too !
Both of the items has good flavors but it’s not the same like the food you get from really good Thai restaurants. Definitely pass for great Chinese takeout! Oh ! and I’m pretty happy with their customer service!!!
I definitely recommend this place !! :)

The service here is great. Always friendly and I never have to wait long to get my food. The food is pretty good. I’ve had better but it is still good. The prices are right on and you get a lot of food for the price. Definitely worth a try if you haven’t visited this place yet.

Grabbed a half order of Chicken Chop Suey, was at first pretty excited, the portion was very big.
That was about the end of my excitement, lacked seasoning, it was pretty bland, and had very little chicken.
The chicken itself also had a very weird texture and didn’t taste or look fresh at all.

Nice Chinese & Thai takeout restaurant near the confusing intersection of Cass/​75^th/​Plainfield. Offers the very rare dinner special with plenty of food plus an egg roll, choice of white or chicken fried rice and choice of soup (egg drop or hot and sour). You could dispense with the soup (though I wouldn’t) and get a can of soda instead.
This is a very small place — four tables max, and more than one are two-​tops. The kitchen is pretty small too. The guys working here are really earning their pay. They’re constantly on the move. The counter service was friendly and helpful during the ordering process.
The food:
Chicken with cashew nut:
Lots of veggies in this one. My mom enjoyed it quite a bit. The chicken was some shade of otherworldly pale white. I’m guessing it was poached???
Mongolian Beef:
My dad enjoyed the flavor of this dish and was overwhelmed by the portion size (dinner special). He did comment that the beef was a little bit tough & dry.
General’s Chicken:
This is one of my guilty pleasures. Even so, I do have an ideal version in my mind that I compare versions of this dish to. I liked the flavors of this dish, but the very best General Tso’s chicken retains some of its fried crunch. In this one, there was no contrast in texture, really.
Hot and Sour Soup:
Really nice version here. Served piping hot. I really enjoyed the flavor and will always go for this option on the lunch or dinner specials menu.
Egg Roll:
Couldn’t find room for this during the meal. So much freaking food. I’ll eat it tomorrow so I can see what besides cabbage is inside. Dad liked his. [edit: Ate the egg roll the next day, and I was not impressed. Mostly cabbage filling –everything else inside was unidentifiable except for a micro shrimp. For a better take on egg rolls, take Cass into downtown Westmont and look for China Chef on the west side of the street. Their egg rolls are really huge and TDF. /​edit]
App: Hot Chicken Wings
Well, mixed results on the wings. On the plus side, they were nicely fried, came straight out of the fryer — so you’ll be sure to have them hot if your trip home is short. The skin texture had plenty of crunch. On the negative side, despite the usual tell-​tale sign of red pepper seeds, there was virtually no heat. I was tempted to walk over to Popeye’s and get a few packets of Louisiana style hot sauce. They would have been perfect.
App: Crab Rangoon
They used the less common flat presentation versus the more common four petal version. I thought they had a nice flavor — could taste the scallions. As others have noted-​not quite as sweet as many Crab Rangoon. I think it’s for the better.
All in all, a fine carry-​out place. The lunch special is a killer value, and the dinner special is too (though not quite to the same extent). Recommended.

Good food, good prices on combos. I have gotten inconsistent food. I always order Mongolian beef and they put green peppers in it in two separate occasions, yuck! I will always specify now because it seems to depend on the chef of the day.

Great menu options but the lunch special is hard to beat. An assortment of choices including a main dish, fried rice or noodles, an egg role as well as soup or a soda… The best part is the price range for all this is between $ 6-​$ 8. Quick service and friendly atmosphere, although not necessarily a place to sit down and eat, more of a take out place.

If you want fresh authentic Chinese this is the place to go for carry out in the Burr Ridge area. Very busy-​and hectic at times-​so you may need to wait– but quality is worth it. Even though I tried other places I keep going back.

Love Darien Chop Suey! I moved to the area in ’09 and lived right down the street. so this became a frequent destination for my Chinese Food urges. I even have the people at work ordering it. When I moved to Downers Grove I started going to Gong Ho and Tai San which are both great, but whenever I’m at work we order from Darien. Their combination fried rice is what I always order and orange chicken is good as well. and portions do satisfy. my only complaint would be the beef teriyaki appetizer is a little on the chewy side.

I’m new to the area and had my food delivered. I told the guy to call once he got here and to use my card over the phone. Yes! They take debit/​credit cards. I ordered the orange chicken lunch special with the egg drop soup. The food was great. My chicken wasn’t soggy and my rice wasn’t mushy and it didn’t cost me much at all. I definitely would order from here again.

We have tried other restaurants closer to us for Chinese and nothing beats Darien Chop Suey. We used to live down the block and when we moved we just couldn’t give it up! We’ve tried quite a few different items from their menu and have never been disappointed.
The staff is courteous and is always friendly and we’ve never had any issues with our order not being ready when we pick up.
Just a tip on their crab rangoon — it’s not as sweet as some other restaurants… it’s more traditional and actually tastes like crab! We highly recommend ordering from here!

Great food and always pleasant service.
We live locally and order from this place probably twice a week and we were never disappointed. We are pretty fussy where it comes to food but never had any problem with their quality or taste. The food is always very consistent and super fresh.
The people working here are always so pleasant and are really hard workers.
Their always care about their customers.
We will always come back and we highly recommend this place!

Ordered beef fried rice tonight 10 minutes before closing.
Yeah yeah yeah come now.
Nothing but brown rice.
No beef or egg .
I wanted to give them a shot because the old owners sucked.
Back to gong Ho for me

I am a huge Pad Thai fan, but this Pad Thai disappointed. It had an orange sauce and tasted like the microwaved versions you can buy at the store. Not much flavor. The tofu lacked flavor as well.
My husband really enjoyed his Singapore Chow Mein Fu. The Chicken Fried rice was fantastic as were the crab rangoons — not too greasy like other places.
I am not sure if I will order from here again because I like Pad Thai and that is about it. I guess I need to stick with Thai places for authentic, tasty Pad Thai.

Just finished the best Chinese food I’ve had in a long time! I even found LoMein like I’ve had on the east coat. Everything was fresh and delicious! I found my new take out! Thank you New owners, great job! You have new customers!

A great Chop Suey place somewhere on Cass Avenue with a large menu and a variety of meals. They also have a separate extensive Thau food selection and it is amazing that this small kitchen can make up so many dishes. The service is fast and friendly for all those with culinary questions to ask on the variety of cuisine.

I’m a big fan of Chinese food when I can get my hands on it. I love going into Chinatown for the best, so finding a place that delivers and has that same taste and quality of Chinatown is an automatic win for my taste buds. Prices are spot on and they deliver! Definitely my go to place when I do feel like making the drive into the city.
