Eating Out with My Boyfriend and Both Sets of Parents

Hi all!
My parents are taking my boyfriend and his parents out for an early dinner (4-5pm ish) Saturday the 30th. We were thinking of meeting up in the Schaumburg/Palatine/Arlington Heights/etc area. Do you have any suggestions for a nice, not too expensive ($12-15 per entree ballpark) place? No Indian, seafood, tapas, or heavy bar/sports bar type places please.

Thank you!!

I've always been partial to Yu's Mandarin on Golf.

The BF and I usually meet parents there because it's 1/2 way between Carey (where they live) and Chicago. We like to go there because the food is great and the menu is huge so everyone finds something they like (his parents are SUPER picky eaters.)

They specialize in hand-pulled noodles. They've also go a good selection of typical "Chinese-restaurant" dishes (kung pao chicken, shrimp fried rice, etc) and a healthy bunch of more authentic things on the menu (the noodles with black bean sauce and squid are one of my favorites).

Anyway - it's inexpensive too.

I'll second Yu's. It is very good indeed for suburban Chinese (Katy's and various LSC outposts nonwithstanding) and is quite presentable without being formal. I go whenever I'm in the area.
