#1 Chop Suey - Merrillville

This use to be our spot for many years when we wanted Chinese food. Lately, the quality of the food has gone down. This is my last time i order from here. The chicken was extremely dry. They use to have the best orange chicken and this is our 3rd time where its so dry and tough. Their eggroll which was my favorite was soggy. Their beef fried rice was still good but for what we pay the quality has gone to sh# unfortunately. Not sure if they have new workers or the current workers just don't care but it definitely shows in the quality of their food.

Be really, really careful about ordering with a card here. Had our checking account hacked the day after ordering dinner here for delivery, went through all the hassle of getting a new card with new passwords, updating all the billowy sites, then ordered again from them without having used the new card anywhere else yet and it was hacked again the next day. We are done with this place, I wish the police would investigate them.

I should have listened to my coworker who had previously eaten there. She told me it’s not good and to only order the appetizer special. I wanted to see for myself and give them the benefit of the doubt and ordered the orange chicken lunch special which came with an egg roll and I also ordered crab rangoons. Rice had no flavor and was pretty dark was ok once I added soy sauce. Orange chicken was nothing special and a small portion of chicken with 2 huge pieces of broccoli to fill the empty space. Unfortunately, both the crab rangoons and the egg roll smelled like chitterlings. If you know that smell… there is no way those items should have smelled anything like it! Called to let them know how badly it smelled and I was given the option to bring it back brought it back and asked for a refund for the rangoons kept the rice and chicken) and the cashier continued to answer the phone, didn’t apologize, and made me wait quite a while for my refund which should have been made a priority over new orders. I only found out the egg roll smelled horrible like the Rangoons when I came back or I would have asked for a refund for that as well. Hopefully I don’t get sick… I will never be back.

I bought carry out for dinner. Jumbo shrimp fried rice and beef and broccoli with white rice. I’ve had the beef and broccoli before, delicious. The jumbo shrimp fried rice is full of shrimp and very tasty as well. I will definitely be back.I would suggest you call your order in, especially on the weekends. They get very busy and it seems to be only 3 staff and that includes the woman taking orders, answering the phones and taking payment. If you don’t, you will be waiting, at minimum, 20 minutes. But I believe it’s worth it.

I just moved to area looking for excellent Chinese food.They have it and excellent prices and service!!! Vegetarian options: Szechuan Vegetable lunchwith white rice
