I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was a standout — full of flavor, not greasy, and made with fresh ingredients. You could really taste the balance of seasoning, and the portion size was generous. It’s clear they put care into preparing their food. The service was also excellent. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely come back.
Fantastic food! The staff are great but I did notice they will give you the same energy you give them. So be nice and you will have a great time.
Still a great meal, just not the same Heng Wing I grew up with. I grew up in Palatine and ordering out from Heng Wing was always a treat. Everything was always perfect and if there happened to be leftovers, they'd be gone within 24 hours. Even as a young adult I lived in downtown Palatine and frequented the establishment. Shrimp fried rice and an order of egg rolls were always my go to. I no longer live in the area but still get the craving when I come back. Today my family ordered out for Christmas Eve dinner. As I called to make my reservation, I noticed some less than favorable reviews recently. The reviews didn't deter me, and quite honestly, I'm glad they didn't. The main entrees we got were delicious as always. - garlic chicken lo mein - vegetable egg foo young - Mongolian beef - shrimp fried rice To many including myself, Heng Wing egg rolls were always second to none. While the egg roll I ate today was still decent, it was far from the same egg roll I have eaten hundreds of times. Others in my family agreed. The outside of the roll was perfectly crisp as always. The interior was lacking though with less meat than I remembered. I hope they can go back to their old roll recipe. They set the bar so high and I'm hoping they can reach it again.
Went to Heng wing for the first time in a decade for my Birthday. It was the meal of the Year! Pete and Mike on the front counter gave great recommendations for my family. And Pete is one heck of a bartender! He made me a zombie which is one of the tastier stiffer drinks I've ever had in my life. We got Egg Rolls which were bigger but just as good as I remember. Crab Rangoon was on point. For our meal we got heng wing egg foo young which was phenomenal, sweet and sour chicken which was perfect, all edible juicy pieces., sesame beef which is probably my new go to. Ying our server was great and Alex was also very helpful. We also brought up enough food home to have another meal and there were six of us. Great value for the money! I read the reviews after I went and it is insane they get bad reviews. The egg rolls are great and the food is very flavorful. Highly recommend eating inside there as it's a beautiful dining room. And it is a great place to have a family dinner. You have gained a regular customer for sure. And I'm driving all the way from Dundee that's how good it is!
Heng Wing Restaurant is hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! The Crab Rangoon is out of this world—crispy on the outside, creamy and flavorful on the inside, easily the best I've ever tasted. And don’t even get me started on the Piña Colada—smooth, perfectly balanced, and refreshingly tropical. I honestly didn’t expect to find a drink this good outside a beach resort! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the service is fast and friendly, and everything I tried was fresh and full of flavor. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again.
