Oriental Sizzling

Oriental Sizzling is the Chinese restaurant on West Chicago Boulevard, in the strip-mall stretch on the west side of Tecumseh. Lunch and dinner menu of familiar American-Chinese plates, including a kids' menu and vegetarian options.

Open 11am to 8pm Tuesday through Sunday, closed Monday. Inexpensive prices. Reservable if you're rolling in with a group.

Reviewers point to generous portions and reasonable prices, with General Tso chicken and chicken lo mein the most-called-out dishes. Staff gets credit for being kind and easygoing. A few reviews note quality can swing a bit visit to visit, which is honest information when planning ahead.

Dine-in or takeout. Coffee and dessert are on the menu too. Groups fit, kids welcome, restrooms on site. Sits in the same west-side cluster as Busch's and the rest of the Chicago Boulevard quick-stops, so it folds easily into an errand run that needs a lunch or dinner anchor.
