50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Blue Island

“fantastic food, large portions“

“I like the food. The location is alright. Standard or customary time for food to be prepared for pickup. Not many tables to sit or eat nor is the lobby inviting. If youre on the bus and you need to sit and eat then its cool but to go there to purposely, eat.It is not a fine dining establishment. I repeat not a fine dining establishment“

“I guess the years have changed Harmony. This was always my go to spot, but today something changed. The food took forever to arrive, the taste was no longer on point and the whole atmosphere just wasnt right. Im sorry, its gone backwards and the paper towels overflowed the men's room.“

“Always a fun experience! Delicious food!“

“Good food“

“There food is very good here very clean place 👌

Lunch SPECIALS

No credit cards
No debit
Just cash $$“

“Horrible food. Over priced and gross. Do not recommend. No flavor and what I ordered was definitely not what it was supposed to be. 🤮“

“Chen’s is my new go to chinese take out!! You guys have to try this place, 10/10 would recommend! The food is delicious and the service is AMAZING!! Well kept restaurant and the owners a hoot, funniest guy ever!! But the star of the show, their egg rolls!! BEST egg rolls ever!! And DONT even mention their, fire, as the kids say, fried rice!! So much variety!! Have to give this place a try. They will NOT disappoint. Count on seeing me again!!“

“It’s hard to trust a buffet in this day and age but it’s so cozy and delicious here. The past three times i’ve come here have been amazing. I see people complaining about it being busy on weekends, there’s no better way to trust a place than constant business.“

“Alexandra’s service was 100000/10.
I wasn’t having the best day and talking to her really lit up my mood 🥹😁
She was talkative, respectful, helpful, and sweet. Also had good recommendations!
The food was amazing too! I got a strawberry/banana smoothie w tapioca(my fav from everything), crab Rangoons, shrimp fried rice, and orange chicken. Everything was absolutely delicious. Will come back. 🩵“

“The orange chicken was absolutely amazing, like wow! I live right by Chinatown, so I can get great Chinese food almost all the time, but this place is dangerously delicious. And the prices are amazing. Would highly recommend and definitely plan on returning.“

“Food is fresh and excellent. I find it to be one of the best in the area. Non greasy, good flavor, service is ok, but when they attend to you, you have their undivided attention. I have been there a few times, and it does not vary. It is also very clean, with large tables and booths.“

“The food is not as great when mom and pops had it. But I do understand the son, got to learn how to do exactly what the father and mother was doing. My egg foo young it was very salty, and that was something that I never had, as long as i've been going to. The king wok i was very disappointed. Half for the food went to the garbage. But I will give the son a chance.“

“The best food of my life personal favorite the orange chicken. Very kind couple“

“We went there for lunch and they have many specials till 3:00 pm under $11. It comes with a large stuffed egg roll it was very good.
I had the chicken chop suey with fried rice nice size portion(enough for 2 meals) and a fortune cookie. The food is Delicious and very reasonably priced with good service!! This was my 2nd time there and will definitely be going back again.“

“Not many good Chinese spots in the area . They are always pretty on point with egg roles , fried rice , mongilian beef w veggies , orange chicken and crab ragoons . The crab ragoons are stuffed and the orange chicken is crispy and sauce taste like oranges as it should . Been coming here for about 17 years . The BBQ pork fried rice is also a good one here .“

“Food is delicious and always a hit but they really need to work on their customer service. Employees taking the orders are VERY rude and same when you go to pick up. If they changed that I think they would be soooo busy but usually never anyone here.“

“The best shrimp fried rice I've ever had. Food is ALWAYS fresh!“

“okay I am looking at the other reviews and the only thing that is a lie is large portions! there is no large portion! this is probably the smallest lunch special that cost close to $15 that I've ever had at any Chinese restaurant ever. you can go to a buffet and get all you can eat for $15. definitely a sample plate or portion for a child. I ordered to go and looked inside the container and was like WOW! NO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. THE REVIEWS ARE LIES SMH however the food was good and the Cashier was a very pleasant young lady very pleasant💐“

“Excellent Chinese takeout with the biggest egg rolls. Generous portions too and authentic Hawaiian fried rice. Heard about this place for years and finally tried it. So glad I did. This place is a real gem and so glad it is a hidden treasure.“

“We ordered takeout from Gen Hoe. Here are our recommendations. Get the hot and sour soup. It is chock-full of vegetables and has a delicious flavor. The moo shu shrimp was plentiful, with tons of shrimp and so delicious. The owner was very pleasant.“

“I have been coming here for years and Ruma Izakaya remains my favorite Japanese spot in the area. From the sushi to the entree’s, sides, incredible miso soup, and smoothies, Runa Izakaya wins my heart and my stomach over every time! Thank you for great service and even better food! 12/10 recommend😊“

“This little gem has been just sitting in this plaza waiting to be discovered. For decades this cozy spot has been turning out all your favorite dishes in huge servings and at the best prices in the 3 village area. Dumplings and won ton are hand made and the crab rangoon will have you ordering extra!“

“I always enjoy ordering from Grand Chinese. Workers are always courteous and the food is always delicious. I used to go to Hoe Toy on Stony Island but the original owners sold it I believe and the food wasn't the same. I found out about Grand Chinese and now they are my go to spot for Chinese food.“

“Great food, always make it here when traveling to Illinois“

“Premier Taste has to be one of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a very long time! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The staff was so friendly and welcoming — which made the experience even better! This is definitely our new go-to spot for Chinese food. Highly recommend!“

“Came in craving pho, but found something even better! The seafood soup was piping hot, super fresh, expertly seasoned, and hit the perfect level of spice. No extra toppings required.
Do not sleep on the chicken wing easily the best I’ve had in ages. The server promised me I wouldn't need hot sauce because of the seasoning, and she wasn't lying. Absolutely delicious.“

“This is my Moms go to place for her Chinese food n delivery to Sr.Suites of Midway..I've tried it many times w/ my mom.. So I decided that's where I wanted to go. Never judge a book by its cover.. The lady was super sweet n helpful,helping me with my order..with my total order was 25.00 nothing compared to my other places..I was really happy that she recommended I try Veggie Egg Foo Yung,boy was I satisfied. Customer service,is one of these most hardest jobs you can never satisfy everybody.. We all have a bad day,you don't know whether that person's order was egg rolls or Rangoon in 15 mins.. This is the reason our world is so ugly rn.. I'm going to order,rn 4 delivery n make sure I give the delivery guys 5.00 tip on top of delivery fee.its not much but better than any negativity.. Mrs King Chop Suey ur a great 1!“

“I have gone here for decades. I was a little for when I first came here, and now I am middle aged. The owner ran outside to my van to see my kids and my husband because she remembers us as 19/20 year olds dating. She serves the best crab Rangoon and told us told us to order from the party trays to make sure our kids are fed. Very lovely lady and great food.“

“I could go on and on about this place!! I order here at least once a week lbs. I usually get the same thing combination fried rice and the chicken wings but I tried something different today. Still got my combination rice added jalapeno & green onions and a spicy shrimp egg foo yung. And it wassss goooood!!!“

“The best Chinese food around! I drive from Kankakee, Illinois to enjoy their food!“

“So originally I was going to go close to my work to a Thai restaurant called Bree on Archer and Central Ave I just came from a long day of sitting on the floor measuring thresholds of doors outside and inside. Anyways I've seen this restaurant pastor by since most of the work was going this direction and so by the time we got out it was almost 1:00. So I decided to try this place and I was actually quite surprised. Ambience was like a hole in the wall retro Chinese restaurant with the traditiona Chinese l red lanterns and a goldfish with koi aquarium which is supposed to be a symbol of good luck. Anyways I went for lunch special and knowing a lot of other Chinese restaurants usually the lunch special is not portion-wise a full meal while you will be surprised for $1.095 to get the lunch special here because it's a full meal. I had the Mongolian beef which really to me look more like pepper steak than Mongolian beef but it was good but the portions were big likewise with the the fried rice and I even paid $2 extra for beef had I known I would have ordered extra appetizer Andre such as the pot stickers which was fried and surprisingly steamed but it was a combination of both the portions for that was big I had those to finish and take back to the office since I couldn't finish them. Also the lunch special comes with egg rolls. The egg rolls were just meh good it's typical Chinese egg roll. Deep fried and with bean sprouts. The wonton soup was actually pretty good if not delicious most of the time in other Chinese restaurants it's just the wonton and very little meat. This one actually had some pork meat and some onions. Other than that it was a good. I would come back again especially for their lunch specials I would just order that it's a cheap order for 1095 and you got a lot especially in this day and age where dining out for anything not just expensive Gibson steakhouse or even other Asian cuisine like Thai is over $20. I of course ordered more and I ended up spending almost $40 but next time I'll just order the lunch special and that order any extras. Interesting to see have a Latino Hispanic server served me in a Chinese restaurant LOL. But the staff in the kitchen is Asian.“

“Not crazy bot new system ordering food. They tell ya we will text you when your order is ready. We live 25 min. Away n don’t want food sitting there for that time while we get there…“

“I’ve been coming to this place since I was a little girl, back when they were located across the street near the bus depot 🚌. It’s honestly so nice to see that even after all these years, the taste of the food has stayed just as good 😋. That kind of consistency is hard to find these days!

Also, Jason is always super friendly and welcoming 😊—he really makes you feel appreciated as a customer every time you stop by. It’s places like this that bring back great memories while still delivering quality food and service ❤️.“

“kams is really a small place with a big reputation. i drive 50 mins every few days to get their combination lo mein noodles. panda express or other chinese restaurants cannot compare to them. It is always busy and the kitchen is clean. The food is great. I love the variety. The egg rolls are delicious and everything is fresh. I have never had a problem with the food or the staff. Their parking lot is not big but now they have their own reserved parking . It is in the heart of beautiful Chatham You will not be disappointed. Also they have the best chicken wings.“

“First time customer a friend told me about this Restaurant. I purchased the curry chicken, the angel hair thin noodles MEI chicken ( it tasted better than chicken fried rice, First time for this item and I loved it) the jumbo shrimp fried rice. Everything was delicious.“

“Service is still great … but when closed then reopened, the quality of the food is now NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT (worse). Different chef, perhaps? Not sure what I mentioned it because I always order the same thing chicken with black bean and garlic sauce. The last two times I ordered it after they reopened they used dark meat and it was always always always white meat chicken. Also, the sauce is different. Something’s changed, but I’m just not sure what. It’s still my favorite Chinese restaurant in the south suburbs but they can do better. I say that because they’ve been better.“

“Stopped by for Lunch after seeing a post on TikTok on my FYP for LaTeacherConSazon. Looked good and I was in the area. Food did not disappoint! the Lunch deal is fantastic! Generous portions and flavors were great. Will be stopping by here again for sure!“

“Some of the best Chinese food in the South Suburbs. Prices are comparable to other places. Portion sizes are good. Only small complaint is sometimes their inconsistent with how they prepare something. For example the broccoli and garlic sauce - I've had it before where the sauce is very thick and the broccoli broccoli was a little mushy but for the most part they always get it right. I pretty much always order it through a delivery app and the food still comes hot. Egg rolls are good and crisp. Sesame chicken is nice, slight sweetness with a little heat. Fried rice is flavorful.“

“I ordered a small veggie fried rice. It was good but the container is SUPER small and the price is a bit high $10.50. I know groceries prices are outrageous but rice, 🥕 and 🍄 are still pretty cheap. Green peppers are on the expensive side if not on sale but there wasn't enough peppers to justify the cost. Thats my opinion.“

“Always an excellent representation of Asian cuisine, they are fast and efficient. The food is delicious and always prepared fresh and by authentic hands. Never a disappointment in the 15+ years I’ve been visiting. This is diamond in the rough, if ever there has been one. I truly cannot say enough about this establishment. 10/10!“

“We have been looking for a decent place for Chinese food where you can actually sit down and enjoy your food. The staff were all friendly. Decent menu to choose from. Food came out quickly and was good. We had the vegetable soup, egg drop soup, egg rolls, crab Rangoon, beef and broccoli, and the Mongolian beef. My drink was good, but it didn't taste like there was any alcohol in it. They also have tea when you come in. I placed an order to go and told them to make it spicy, but apparently, they missed that part, still a decent place, and we will definitely come back again.“

“Visiting Chicago to see my mother n law and she suggested this restaurant. The food was amazing!
The only downfall was the smell. I understand the use of insense but it was way too extreme where we couldn't even be inside or we'd get a migraine. 😥“

“I ordered a small combination rice and fried shrimp picked it up, left realized the rice was right, the shrimp was wrong. They gave me shrimp Fried Rice. No fried shrimp.They need to understand people up there Better otherwise than that the food was good“

“Absolutely wonderful. Always love picking up beef lo mein, the extra rice is always PACKED full and the food is *so* good.
Only gripe is with online ordering, you can't ask to omit anything—i.e, can't ask for no mushrooms or a specific ingredient—but that's a small thing that otherwise doesn't heavily impact the experience.“

“Great service and the food was 🔥... Definitely going back...“

“Food was ok today, usually its nice hot and fresh. Today's orange chicken was a bit old. Pricing was, well... its increased. Nevertheless, if in the Gage Park/Marquette Park neighborhoods, this is still the best Chinese Food to get! 55th and California has been quite the culinary delight corner these past few years!“

“I really enjoyed the shrimp fried rice! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The service was friendly, and I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the mood for Chinese food. I’m always happy to support local businesses as a small-business owner with Sealing It Your Way Mobile Notary Services. Definitely worth trying!“

“It's too much going on surrounding this place. I have been eating here since I was a kid. The food is so good. If only they could be in a better area like 83 or 87, they would get move business . But I don't care they got the best food “

“They have great luncheon specials with generous portions and a free egg roll. I love hot and spicy dishes; my favorite is Kung Pao Beef which has a ton of flavor (nice heat), a lot of beef, peanuts and very tasty fried rice. I also like their Shrimp Egg Foo Yung. The other reviewer here is totally wrong. Either he needs to add soy sauce or maybe he was going through chemotherapy and had lost his sense of taste. Their service is also terrific and if you phone in your order ahead of time it will be piping hot ready for pickup iun about 15 minutes within 15 minutes.“
