30 Best Chinese Restaurants near Algonquin

“Great Chinese food. Especially the Oriental Delight. And the best egg rolls in the world. Nice people, they appreciate your business“

“Delicious! Fast and friendly service. I prefer their chicken and beef over any of their fried selections like sesame chicken, but the freshness of the food is always on point. I love the Mongolian beef and any of the fried rice (though the specialty rice with all the proteins in it is my fave) and my husband loves the moo shu beef and the straw mushroom chicken. We also enjoy sharing the garlic chicken which is probably my overall fave on the menu. The egg rolls are also my absolute favorite and I order them every time. The peanut sauce makes them so perfect and savory.“

“The food tastes amazing and there are large portions“

“I've eaten at many good sushi spots and this is one of my absolute favorites for so many reasons. Everything is sooo fresh, portions are large, and the staff is great(ask for Liam, he's the best)! Liam is especially great to making sure kiddos have a great dining experience too and is very attentive.“

“born and raised in chicago which obv has some of the best chinese food. that being said, when i tried this place yesterday i was blown away actually lol. the chicken pad thai was some of the best i’ve ever had. such a good portion and sooo fresh. the crab rangoon was also amazing! had the perfect amount of filling and wasn’t overly breaded/crispy.
i will deff be coming here more often since i’m living near by and am super impressed with the quality! ❤️“

“3 people working at lunch time, wouldn’t even know it. The efficiency of the employees is extremely impressive. Was worried about the line when I walked in. Was faster than most places that are dead. Great staff! Great food! Thank you for a great lunch.“

“I went here the other week with my girlfriend and it was awesome, the Orange Beef and Spicy Wontons were the best! We stayed to eat outside and got to talk to the owner (who by the way is super friendly). We're definitely going back soon :)“

“Recently moved back from Colorado and have gone years without a good place for boba, egg rolls and crab Rangoons. This place was a 10/10! The atmosphere was great the employees/owners were phenomenal we had an allergy issue and they right away stepped in wanting to accommodate us which is very rare for places to jump in fast wanting to help accommodate. Definitely recommend this place we will for sure be back! Not to mention the bobo drink containers were soo adorable!“

“Did GrubHub and food was hot and ready on time. We got pad Thai, orange chicken, dragon & phoenix and a few other things. Portions were decent and containers were full and packed well with oranges and broccoli to add color. We ordered mostly mild and one medium spice level. Mild was indeed mild and just really lacked flavor… it was ok, just not great. I’d definitely try it again with more spice to see if it alters the flavors.“

“I ordered the General Tso's Chicken daily special. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The chicken fried rice & chicken egg roll were good but the egg roll was a little doughy. I called in my order, they were very professional and my food was ready for pickup in 15-20 mins.“

“Affordable & it taste good every Platter size was so huge & it Runs with Family treat you good like your Family too.. i will highly recommend this place for the people out there thats love Chinese Foods.“

“The Breakers was my mother's favorite place to go out to eat. I took her to The Breakers many times. We always enjoyed any of the many menu items that were available. Elizabeth Landers was her name, and I am sure you are familiar with her son Edward. The service was always top notch.She liked a Brandy Ice for desert!“

“Pork buns are heavenly good as well as fried gyoza 😋
That restaurant deserves a better location and popularity!!! Personnel was also very nice and patient to me and my bf(English is not our first language). Good choice of drinks by the way!“

“I was there today for lunch and asked if they could leave the fried rice off because I could not eat rice. I realized later that she must have misunderstood me as she got very offended and said "if you don't like it - go someplace else." I exchanged a few words with her as I thought her comment to go someplace else just because I asked for no fried rice on my Plate (I cannot eat rice anymore) was very rude. We fininished our lunch which was delicious and went on our way. I have frequented this restaurant several times and have never made a special request so YUM YUM lady was always nice. If she reads this I would like to APOLOGIZE to her as I think her fried rice is delicious. I just am unable to eat rice at this point. A misunderstanding that could have been avoided.“

“They make really good cooked to order fried rice. My Fiancé has also enjoyed sushi from this establishment. Top notch stuff.“

“This place was close by loved their steamed chicken and vegetables with the white rice and sauce delicious their chicken fried rice was ok not the best but edible
Their egg rolls were not as crunchy as I would have liked
Overall 7/10 it's the second closest spot around so definitely will come back to try different things but small decent place parking was good! No problems or complaints there!“

“My favorite Chinese food in the area! Service is brusque but efficient, and while technically there is a table or two inside this is really more of a carry-out place. But everything is tasty and once you get to know the staff they're really nice.“

“By far the best Chinese take out in the area! Consistently good, have enjoyed their food for over 35 years! So glad we can still enjoy their food. Look forward to every order! We have our typical order but every on e any a while we will try something new and have never been disappointed!!! I moved to the west side of town but will still drive for the best!“

“We come here all the time. Always great service and the food is always awesome.“

“Great. Asked for no oil or minimum oil, and they did it. Lots of flavor. Thanks.“

“I had the pleasure of experiencing this restaurant today. This is Chinese restaurant I've eaten at in a very long time. Their spring rolls are the best I've ever had, period. The rainbow lo mein was outstanding. They serve oolong tea in pots, which is something no restaurant does where I live, so that was a treat. If I could give this review more than 5 stars I would. This is a must dine restaurant.“

“we've been going to Chen's for over 30 years at least once a month. people are awesome, the food is outstanding and the prices are exceptionally reasonable. disregard negative reviews. anyone that goes there on a regular basis would highly recommend. a nice family restaurant not a chain.“

“Family and I had some great food tonight. Large portions too. Will be back.“

“Ordered through Door Dash and the food was fantastic! Portions were generous & the food was seasoned well. We will definitely order again.“

“Gilbert's have the best pepper steak. The egg foo young was good. The orange chicken meat was overcooked, tough, dried out, and soggy. The honey garlic chicken was overcooked, tough, dried out, and soggy. Please fix the chicken by making it moist and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Thank you.“

“I’ve only had one not-so-great experience here. I cannot eat meat so I rarely eat at an outside location. All (but one) time I’ve eaten there it’s been delish and perfect. My dad loved the BBQ Pork. The vegetable egg rolls are my go-to. I frequently have it delivered out of laziness, and the delivery driver always knocks and leaves my food ((exactly what I want!)) I would give it 4.8/5.0 stars. I’ve never been inside so idk what to say about it.“

“We love to get takeout from here and sometimes will dine in. Their service is always on point! Their food is always consistently delicious! Seriously the best chinese food in town! We have tried the sushi, appetizers, and the traditional chinese dishes and all are delicious! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!“

“Food was amazing best thing I’ve had in Elgin. Customer Service is also amazing, met this young man who greeted me and had an amazing convo with as long as helping me choose what to get, get this man a raise I think his name is sammy or sum! Anyways excellent service!“

“I'm vegan, and I got delivery from here on a whim, because they had vegetarian options and I wanted to try a new place. I'm always reassured when a menu has labeled vegan items, so I figured this was a safe gamble. I got the eggplant garlic sauce and it was one of the best eggplant dishes I've ever had. The salt and pepper tofu wasn't what I was expecting, but it was also super delicious. The vegan pho was fine, but I'm not a big pho person to begin with. Plus, the portions are quite generous so I can nibble on it for a few days!“

“Elizabeth was a great help on the phone prior to ordering a large take out order.
Then when I arrived to pick up I saw in person how good she was at her job. It was very busy at that time. Elizabeth was happy and helpful to her coworkers, to me and every other customer she helped 🤩.“
