18 Best Chinese Restaurants in Aurora

“Lao Sichuan has the most authentic and consistently amazing Chinese food to be found anywhere in the U.S. Having spent some time living in China while I was in undergrad, there are certain flavors that I crave, which your run of the mill American style Chinese restaurant will not have. My wife and I live in St Charles and make the 1 hour 20 minute round trip at least once a week to get our fix. The food is that good. The owner is seemingly always there, and obviously genuinely cares about ensuring quality in what is served every time. Our favorites are Chengdu Style King Pao Chicken, Ma Po Tofu, Beef in Pure Cumin Powder, Toothpicks Lamb, and the Xiao Long Bao. I cannot for the life of me fathom how this restaurant does not have a higher rating. It is the best. Try it. You won't regret it.“

“This is my second time visiting Leilani Asian Fusion and both times food has been amazing. The staff have been fantastic and atmosphere and decor are impeccable. Can’t wait to continue to create memories with friends at Leilani’s!“

“The chef made very good spice dish. I ordered spice octopus, and told chef made chinese way. It is so delicious. The octopus is so tender and spice source just good as I ate in China. I am very impressed. Will bring friends back to here to try others dish.“

“I loved the vibe as soon as I walked in. It is authentic and homey. I love the decor, its not too cold either. I tried the Lychee Strawberry Green Tea with Heart Jelly and Rainbow Jelly. The tea was a bit and it was definitely a sweeter drink, but I loved it. The jelly isn’t too firm, like some other places, it was perfectly balanced. Not too much ice, but also cold all the way through. Very delicious! Sweet staff! Great conversation!“

“Good Taiwanese food!! Came here with my husband today for lunch, and they have very good lu rou fan! We also had their Taiwanese popcorn chicken and it definitely hit the spot 😋 I saw that they also have bah oan so I’ll be coming back to try that at some point! So grateful to have a place that can fill my Taiwanese belly!“

“Been going here a few years now, and always been happy with their food. The best Chinese takeout in the area right now in my opinion.“

“DELICIOUS!! fabulous shumai, pork shrimp chive dumpling, BBQ pork rice crepe, BBQ pork bun, and soup dumplings. We will be back! Better than ming hin for sure! Bit pricey for food court dimsum, but top notch quality and steamed to order so incredibly fresh tasting. YUM!“

“Always, always great food and service. Reasonable price, clean and friendly“

“I was blown away how Mr Chan was able to whip up all the food we ordered, without writing down our order, withour a single error. The food was amazing and he is just a gem of a human being. Amazing how he has had this restaurant for over 40 years. I live in San Francisco and his food was better??? #“

“We ordered the shrimp lo mein, walnut shrimp, and the crab rangoon. Everything was excellent. Definitely agreeing with everybody else, best crab rangoon around! Will definitely return.“

“The roast duck, with its skin so impossibly crisp, it shatters like glass under the slightest pressure, revealing the succulent, spice-infused meat beneath. Dipped in a sweet plum sauce, a piece of Cantonese heritage on a plate. Then comes the char siu, that iconic Cantonese barbecue pork, its edges charred to perfection, the meat tender, almost sinful in its juiciness. The marinade, a complex blend of honey, soy, and fermented tofu, clings to each slice, a sticky alchemy of Cantonese cooking. It’s sweet, savory, and utterly addictive, the kind of dish that haunts your dreams, compelling you to return. The Cantonese oil chicken, a masterpiece of simplicity. Poached in a master stock that’s a closely guarded secret, the chicken is impossibly tender, its skin silky, almost translucent. Served with a side of ginger scallion oil, it’s a dish that balances the richness of the meat with the brightness of fresh herbs, the simplest flavors are the most profound. Sitting here, chopsticks in hand, surrounded by the clatter of plates and the murmur of satisfied diners, I'm struck by the depth of flavor, the craftsmanship, and the sheer joy that is Cantonese barbecue. It's an experience, a journey through the heart of Cantonese culture, and one that I'd walk a thousand miles to taste again.“

“Not disappointed in any of my selections thus far! Good crab Rangoon, among other items!“

“I can't believe how long it took me to find this place but now that I have it had become our "go-to" Chinese take out spot. We especially love the spicy fried rice!!! Even my 4 year old loved the rice, her first spicy food! Everything we have ordered has been fresh and tasty and they are so friendly when I pick up which really makes a difference for me.“

“The soups are delicious 🤤“

“Food by the scoop! It's fast and cheap. Shan-Li's charges $1.25 for a generous scoop of the majority of the items. The food is already made, so it may not be the freshest, but it's fast. The ever so popular crispy chicken is pretty good. It's breaded, deep fried and sauced. They have 3 different kinds of fried rice and lo mein. The hot and sour soup was good, too! They have a self-serve water station by the register. While I was there, they had a constant stream of customer. There's plenty of space to sit and enjoy your meal.“

“The staff was awesome and helpful! It was one of the most fun Birthdays I have had in years!“
