The owner is so nice and the food is great. However, the reason I’m giving this place a 3 star rating is because the older lady who is a waitress here is horrible. She’s rude, unprofessional, and overall seems to hate her job. I’ve had several bad experiences with her and I keep trying to give her the benefit of the doubt but it seems to be her normal ‘negative nancy’ personality. It sucks because I like the owner so much and the kid who delivers is a sweetheart.

This restaurant has its ups and downs. You NEVER know when you walk in the door. Good service… sometimes, food also is very inconsistent. Total crap shoot.

Incredible prices and what nice people. And the delivery was so fast. The food tastes amazing. High quality and you can tell they’ve taken the time to prep it well and when ordered and not just making it and letting it sit to wait for an order. We just moved to Elgin, and this restaurant is a great and wonderful welcome to the city.

This is my most favorite Chineese restaurant. One of the few that still has egg foo young. Excellent food friendly staff. Highly recommend

Changed the name, but still just horrible horrible food. Fried rice is not supposed to be crunchy! Couldn’t even eat it. Service is really friendly, but if they can’t even cook fried rice what is the point of even going?
The other issue I have is the water feature when you first walk in. It has been there for quite a wile with no attention whatsoever… meaning of course that the water inside the tubes is moldy and oh so gross.
Not worth the effort to walk in the door.

We ordered pick-​up, and the guy who took my order was super-​helpful and patient. We ended up with some sushi, tempura, Chinese shrimp w/​vegetables and a couple of soups. Everything was delicious, and they got the order with several special requests exactly right.
We’ll definitely be back for more.

I gave their sushi bar a try a few weeks ago, and was very impressed. They’ve really brought it up since it was Koi. As usual, I started with the cooked offerings and got more adventurous as I gained confidence in their safety.
The sushi was reasonably priced given the large portion sizes, and quite tasty. Their ingredient selection is extremely limited, likely due to their large turnover — getting anything more than 4 types of fish would mean a lot of waste.
The only complaint I have is more of an observation — the door to the kitchen was open, and I could see in. For the whole hour I was there, they had a large sheet of raw chicken just sitting out on the counter. I don’t know if it was thawing, but it was uncovered and in that time nobody touched it.

I ate here several times when it was Koy. Not much has changed. I’m not thrilled with it. I had one of the lunch specials, Pork with Garlic sauce. It was a small portion, but it tasted ok… not great. The waitress was friendly.
I also noticed that the waiter and waitress would take peoples’ drink glasses somewhere else to refill them. I can understand this with soda waters, but not for tea and water. They should be bringing a pitcher.
