We serve sweet and sour chicken, chow mein, vegetable tofu soup, roast pork and more. Our staff members are committed to delivering an enjoyable dining experience for all of our guests.
Thai rolled ice cream is a unique frozen street dessert from Thailand. Unlike most ice cream that is made in an electronic machine, Thai rolled ice cream is made in an extremely cold pan. Once the cream is spread thinly and has solidified, we roll it up. If you are looking for the ultimate dessert experience, we invite you to Enlai 59 Chinese Restaurant to try our delicious Thai ice cream.
If you're looking for some authentic Chinese food to eat for an affordable price, then you've come to right place. At Enlai 59 Chinese Restaurant we have a Chinese take out service for all of our food. We run a lunch special daily between 10:30 AM to 3 PM that is great for those that are on their lunch break from work.
You HAVE to try the rolled ice cream! It's incredible and you can't find it anywhere else! This is always my go-to for Chinese, the people are incredibly friendly and, after 3 years of going here, I've not had one bad experience with the food. Consistently been my favorite. Absolutely love this place!

Had an uber eats delivery order that needed to be picked up from this location. The owner kept telling me "Order ready soon" and wouldn't specify how long soon was. Ended up waiting 25 min for an order that would only paid me $2.50 for over a half hour worth of work because this location was very slow and couldn't specify how long the order would take. In those 25 min i could've delivered 5 other orders in the area. Declining all future delivery orders from this location and not ordering from here myself.

Ordered chicken fried rice, chicken was ice cold and pink in the center. Called and let the person know who answered the phone and she quickly blamed it on the door dasher saying THEY cooked it wrong. This place is a joke and the food sucks!

Finally found amazing Chinese food in Illinois after 3 years! Great flavor, generous portions, and great presentation. We got the General’s chicken, moo shoo chicken, orange chicken, chicken wings, and chicken fried rice. Each had a distinct flavor and the aroma was enough to put you in a wonderful food coma! I was pleasanrlt surprised that it wasn’t greasy at all. This is definitely my go to Chinese takeaway spot from now on.

The first bite I took from my meal had a large chunk of stainless steel shaving in it! See the picture. The lady working up front also didn’t have her mask on when I came in but puts it on after she sees me walk in. Well that doesn’t do much good to cook and work without a mask on but to pretend like it was on the whole time once the customer walks in.

I have ordered a couple of dishes there but I found my favorite and they always make it special for me. No Curry Powder! The woman who waits on me is very nice and friendly. They are the only place I go to for this dish!

The food here was horrible. We got beef and broccoli with no broccoli and the general chicken was way over cooked. The chow main was dry, the egg rolls had like nothing in them they were pretty much hallow and the shrimp in the shrimp fried rice was raw..... absolutely horrible if I could give it no stars i definitely would. Worst Chinese I've ever had

They burned my egg foo young so I went back the next day and they did it but it's still way too cooked on one side actually could taste the burn.
Fried rice was barely tinted. no vegetables and probably 2 tablespoons of meat in the whole bucket very plain no taste
