Service is incredible. You will never need to ask for the waiter, let me put it that way! We started coming here around this same time last year because the last few times we had visited the Bombay Chopsticks in Schaumburg the service was garbage and the food was absolute trash. We were served cold food and the waiters and staff didn't seem at all concerned and actually got irritated when we simply asked to warm up the food there. It was horrible and we will never visit that location ever again.
On the other hand, this location is our absolute favorite. We've visited about 5-6 times over the past year and service has always been A1 and the food has been fresh and consistent every single visit. During our visit here this time, we ended up ordering firecracker shrimp (house favorite), and 7 spice chicken which was absolutely left you with your mouth watering with bursts of flavor. For the main course we ordered burnt garlic fried rice with chicken spicy, chicken Manchurian dry spicy, dang dang noodles spicy mixed, and Shanghai chicken spicy, all of which left me wanting more even though my stomach couldn't handle anymore food. Highly recommend you try these dishes.
We always prefer to sit in front of the head chefs window as we like to watch a Master at work and trust me, this guy knows how to cook a damn dish! We always wave and thank him prior to leaving because of how content we feel after finishing our meals. I'm not sure what our waiters name was but we've had the same waiter the last 2-3 visits and he is amazing. Will check 2-3 times with us to make sure he got our order correct and that's what we like to see. Leaves us content knowing we will be getting the correct orders. We hope he will serve us once again!
We will continue to visit this location and this location only!
I felt the need to post a picture of my empty plate because that's how good the food was. I left not a single scrap on my plate. I changed plates mid meal to keep flavor profiles separate so that's why this plate looks a little cleaner than you would usually see someone's plate after finishing a meal.
PS: I read a lot of the negative reviews, let me make it clear, you cannot review takeout food as dine in food. Take out food will never be the same as dining in. And for any service issues with take out im sorry but you cannot rate an entire restaurant based on only your take out...
Read moreThis is my second review about Bombay chopsticks-
This restaurant left a fantastic first impression with its spotless cleanliness and fresh, modern ambiance. exceptional quality food more than makes up for it, ensuring a truly enjoyable dining experience. The staff are an absolute highlight—friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist. Reyansh, in particular, went above and beyond to make our dining experience truly memorable with his exceptional service and genuine hospitality. I was pleasantly surprised that the weekday buffet is incredibly affordable given the variety and quality of the food. I always recommend my friends to visit, not only to savor the delicious food but also to experience the outstanding service and ambiance firsthand!
It was my first review - If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience, look no further than this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and excellent customer service. Our server, Reyansh, went above and beyond to make our dining experience truly memorable.
Now onto the food. We started with their awesome cocktail which was expertly crafted and perfectly balanced. It was so good that we had to order another one! For dessert, we decided to try the tiramisu and we were not disappointed. It was light, fluffy, and had just the right amount of sweetness. We savored every bite.
But the highlight of the evening was definitely the Chinese food. The dishes were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We loved the crispy dumplings and the delicious stir-fry dishes. Everything was fresh and expertly prepared.
Throughout our meal, Reyansh was attentive and helpful, making excellent recommendations and ensuring that we were well taken care of. He made our dining experience truly exceptional and we can't thank him enough.
Overall, we highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great food, delicious cocktails, and exceptional customer service. And if you're lucky enough to have Reyansh as your server, you're in...
Read moreOrdered several items from the menu for the new year weekend take-out. First of all they have some items that are not available even in the so called places of origin. Fancy names that you can find only in Indian fusion restaurants. But it's good to try out. Be warned that items that say red chillies as ingredients, you will find a good heap of it. I normally can handle hot spicy foods but this is hotter than Andhra cuisine. I found many dishes with a good dose of chilly flakes. I will have to wait a day to see the havoc of ingesting that many chilli flakes.
They are pricey and the servings can be a bit more generous for the price. The chicken drumsticks supposedly the milder version of lollipops (made with wings) was mostly a little lump of chicken fastened to a bone. I don't know if they gave me the wings version. Shanghai spicy chicken (only Sichuan cuisine is hot and spicy in China) has a good dollop of red chillies flakes, so does the Manchurian and fish hakka style, though the last 2 were milder in comparison.
Drunken shrimps has tails on and is also covered in batter, so be prepared for a "kebab main haddi" experience (bone in kebabs, a expression used to hint that good food gets spoiled by bad preparation). Fried rice is good but like most gravy based dishes infused with oil. Lamb Mongolian was just gravy with a few mincemeat bits of lamb. All of the dishes costs a minimum of $15. On the whole, an expensive but kind of once in a while experience to have Indo-Chinese...
