One of my favorite places to go back to when in Dupage county - have yet to find a place that can do better than them for my two favorite dishes. Their Hunan Beef and Mongolian Beef are probably my absolute favorites so only speaking to that part of the menu. Their hot and sour soup is excellent as well! Great environment indoors and great efficient service. Can't ask for more.

Excellent variety of dishes the chefs here can make. There are a couple stand outs. Quality- the hou fun, peppercorn fish, calamari, duck, and lemon/orange shrimp here are really good. I'm also a big fan of the beef tendon and most fish dishes here. Quantity- they give a generous portion for the price Atmosphere- nice clean open place. Lots of seating options Service- fast

Came here for Father's Day around 12 and it was empty. It filled up by the time we left though. Loved the chili dishes and it came out pretty quick. Chili beef - great flavor and I liked the tendon slices Beef roll - just ok. Scallion pancake flavor was a little lacking Dry chili chicken - pretty salt but great with veggies and rice Pea shoots - standard Chili lamb - not gamey and really flavorful. Peppers were nice Eggplant wrapped shrimp - unique dish Egg tofu - standard Orange chicken - strong orange flavor. The kids loved this Walnut shrimp - really crispy and sweet Xiao long BAO - pretty standard

Mapo Restaurant is a hidden gem in Naperville! I can't believe I hadn't discovered it earlier, especially being a fan of Asian cuisine. A friend from Wheeling had been raving about this place constantly. Upon arrival, I realized why I had overlooked it so many times; nestled in a small strip mall with unremarkable signage, it seemed to be the sole business there. The restaurant's appearance, both inside and out, is typical of a Chinese eatery. However, what sets it apart is the exceptional quality of its food. Every dish is freshly prepared with evident care and attention to detail. For appetizers, we indulged in the cumin lamb skewer and crab rangoon. Let me tell you, the crab rangoon was the best I've ever tasted--sweet, creamy, and delightful. Our selection of entrées included orange beef, dry chili chicken, lamb with basil, crispy shrimp with lemon sauce, twice-cooked pork Sichuan style, and stir-fried beef chow fun. While I favor the dry chili chicken from Xi'an for its bold flavor and extra kick, every dish at Mapo impressed me. I wholeheartedly recommend Mapo, particularly the Crispy Shrimp with Lemon Sauce and the Crab Rangoon. You won't regret taking the time to seek it out.

Mapo Restaurant is truly a hidden treasure in Naperville. When my husband and I visited with a few friends, we found it in a small strip mall with bad signage. It appeared to be the only business operating there. The restaurant looks like your typical Chinese restaurant from the inside and outside. What is special about this restaurant is the quality of the food. Everything is prepared fresh and tastes like a lot of time and attention was put into it. We ordered the cumin lamb skewer and crab ragoon for appetizers. This was the best crab ragoon I've ever had. It was sweet and creamy. We ordered several entrées. My favorites were the orange beef and the honey lemon shrimp. I highly recommend Mapo Restaurant. You'll be happy that you took the time to find it.

It's clean. It's delicious. Note: The Jajangmyun is very Peking and NOT Korean. I hate it. But it's my own fault cuz they did explain that to me and I'm just a dummy. Note: The Japanese style Salt and Pepper Tofu is my absolute favorite and delicious. Just beyond my words. The service is very nice... I never feel rushed. And just yeah. A great spot to have a meal. They have a lot for parking.

Somehow Mapo flies under the radar for Chinese cuisine in the burbs. Locals will appreciate the authentic menu options and Sichuan dishes. Interior is warm and inviting. It's in the same plaza as H Mart but on the side by Wendy's. Lots of parking. Contrary to popular belief, not everything on the menu is spicy, but Mapo does specialize in these types of dishes. My table was a big fan of the fried eggplant, but I loved the cumin lamb as did everyone else with me. Service is great and attentive. Water was always refilled and water asked if everything was okay. Glad I came back and gave this another chance.
