Oriental Food House — Restaurant in Westmont

This place should be avoided at all cost, this is a tourist trap and it claims Taiwanese yet tasted nothing like it in my opinion! I ordered 2 items from their Taiwanese street foods menu to see if this is authentic since my bother told me not to go there, but I had high hopes since there aren't many authentic Taiwanese street foods restaurantsin Chicago. Ordered a zongzi and pork pie supposedly from zonghua as these 2 I am very familiar with their flavor profiles. Tasted pork pie first, it's filings are overly salty while the skin has no Q Q textured. It is just below average since it costs $4.5 for one which is way overpriced. Now the most disappoint and disgusting foods I have ever eaten in a restaurant is this their so called zongzi which smells not much and actually had slight disgusting smell to it once I spread it open. I had suspicious that it might be a bad and expired one since they place them all out in open with no steam to keep them warm whatsoever. The meat was so disgusting I immediately spit it out, the sticky rice had no flavor and like I said the faul smell of it just linger... now at this point I was kind of angry since they dare to serve customer dinning there such poor quality which made me wanted go up there and tell them. But as I think about it, it's not worth my energy since I should have noticed how this place so quite compare to other shops around it. Wasn't it an obvious sign and clear enough that such restaurant get no foot traffic during busy lunch hour of Saturday should be avoid? I just dumped unfinished pork pie and almost untouched zongzi into trash can and vowed to never order from it again...

I used to frequent international food court(Ding Hao) with my parent 20 years ago and the quality of foods here never disappoint. Back then, we only got our foods from Chinese Cafe which is 2nd shop on the right from it and it is still decent as I ended up getting couple of favorites from its Taiwanese breakfast menu, the only draw down was the long line to order and very long wait for your foods, but after horrific experience that I just got with Oriental foods house, it was definitely worth the wait! It's mom and pop shop so their management wasn't so great with such chaotic traffic in a busy Saturday lunch time, but it's understandable.

Being an Taiwanese American who grew up in Taiwan until 15 had tasted plenty of street foods, this place is a disgrace to Taiwanese cuisine and as a restaurant. My suggest to owner, close your shop and retire, please don't Shame Taiwanese foods with your poor quality and...

Got the beef noodle soup, stir fried noodles with chicken, and stinky tofu. Stinky tofu was excellent — stinky, fresh, and really good pickled veg on top. The beef noodle soup did NOT skimp on the meat. Really good pieces of meat that had just enough tendon. Instead of baby bok choy, there was Napa cabbage and no pickled mustard greens, which was a huge miss for me. Noodle amount ok. The stir fried noodles tasted ok but were really oily and a little too salty. Chicken portion was solid though. Seating was clean (and there was a guy cleaning up after people) and shockingly not busy for a Sunday at noon. Really glad I came to try this...

Growing up, Di Ho used to be the epicenter of the small western suburb Asian community. It was where I tried proper Taiwanese beef noodle soup for the first time and became obsessed. For a long time, I associated the best beef noodle soup in Di Ho with the store front on the far right. Today, I learned that this shop owner has since moved to the Oriental Food House aka 'Taiwan Xiao Chi' store front on the far left. For 37 years, this true mom and pop shop has been working on their craft to serve the community and I can attest that they've still got it. Do a flavor taste test and see for yourself - and of course, support this...
