50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Carol Stream

“Excellent! One of the top 5 restaurants we miss from our years in the western ‘burbs. Whenever our family comes back to Chicagoland’s try to stop here. The food from every cuisine offered never disappoints. Fresh. Hot. Tender proteins. Incredible flavors. Yong is always a gentleman and a delight, so grateful for how he serves with joy!“

“We finally tried Chinese from Yes, wow! we will be regulars from here on!! Great quality food, everything we tried was amazing!!!“

“Great atmosphere and excellent service but very small verity of food choice and very little placed in the trays.

This place has lots of tables but only 1 heated food booth. I’d say it has about 8 dish verities give or take. No fish or fresh vegetables or fruit. Not even sushi. The only vegetables available were cooked with meat or 2 other separate options.

This was unfamiliar neighborhood for me as I stopped by for my kids activity then checked for buffet where my 5 y/o asked for French fries. We took 2 plates not even full about 10-15 individual fries and that’s it, the trey was empty.

When I asked for a takeout, container they gave me was a small rectangular plastic box with a lid and honestly I think I took the last of meat because it was that little of a choice.

Price wise it wasn’t expensive I think I paid $23 for us both and $11 for takeout 🥡 it’s a small place but if it’s convenient to the neighborhood go for it.“

“Good ambiance! Good service! Great tasting quality food! Celebrated my birthday there night of December 15th, 14 of us ‘everyone had a Great time’! What stood out most was the warm hospitality and attention given to All. Definitely a night too remember! Thank you.“

“Food took a long time but it was good! We waited 2 hours for all the food on father's day, ordered the 5 course meal. but in the moments we were waiting our waiter Christine kept our drinks full and kept us laughing, she made the experience better and the food worth the wait.“

“awesome food awesome drinks awesome service five stars easy“

“It's so yummy the food and staff are great. I go there often.“

“Best and very rare Chinese Halal restaurant in the area.“

“The most authetic chinese food- nothing like Panda express but the real deal. They have lunch specials as well. Tired the fish lunch special and the cumin lamb, must try. Small but newer space and better than the bigger resturants in the area.“

“great place and food friendly staff“

“We went on a weekday for lunch. 2 dishes were good. 2 dishes were bad. I would go back for the 2 decent dishes.
The server was an older asian lady and she had no patience. I asked what was the most popular dish and she seemed annoyed, and said I don't know. I'm like ok. It's what u get from most older Asian servers, I understand as an Asian person. We care more about the quality of the food. Honey Beef was superb, excellent. And good portion. Orange chicken on point too. Now, the let down was the sautéed squid dish. It reeked of fishy smell. Like, as a seafood connoisseur, squid lover and avid foodie, I know, that is not how a squid dish should taste like. But I didn't want to fight and I knew better than try to send it back cuz as a chinese restaurant I highly doubt they would take it back. But it was truly terrible. The last dish was Korean style noodle soup. This was not tasty. Not disgusting like the squid. But the noodles were just so bad tasting. Not soft and chewy but coarse and tasteless, the broth was ok. But also bland. I might go again for the beef. But seafood here never again. Or noodles.“

“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 :)“

“Asian Noodle House has been a consistent staple in the community for authentic and comforting dishes. I have been coming here since I was a kid and I always appreciate the kindness of the staff, the quality of the food, the efficiency and speed of ordering, and the affordability especially in times where eating out is getting more and more expensive. As a fellow Asian-American I am happy to support this Asian-American owned local business!“

“nice service, food ok, prices & portions ok“

“Quite honestly one of the most pleasant experiences I've had dining in. The dining room is very calm and nice, it's exactly as pictured in the reviews and they had great 90s grunge music playing too, that and the lucky cat statue were my favorite parts :). Aside from my favorite kind of atmosphere the people were so polite and kind. The service was amazing, when I let them know my allergies they made it very easy and simple. They brought out the food fairly fast too with really good sauces and everything was hot and delicious. I highly recommend the bbq pork fried rice and the eggroll. First time here and I will definitely be back soon :)“

“Always have a great experience here! Food is indeed very fresh. Tastes amazing and the service is just excellent.
If you’re reading some of the other negative reviews from before I urge you to not listen to them. This place has come a long way and is much much better. I work right next door to here and come here all the time and my coworkers love this place too! Really one of the only good Chinese restaurants around the area anymore.“

“Love their panang curry chicken!“

“Food was excellent and plenty of it on the luncheon menu! My compliments to the chef! The service was great and we Will definitely be back! Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“We went there on Christmas day and they appeared to be a bit harried abd unprepared, but the service was ok overall. I definitely liked the food and my sesame tofu snd wonton soup were very tasty. The egg rolls were also above average. I would definitely go back and see if the service improves.“

“Newly renovated more appealing restaurant. I am Cantonese and I enjoy the delicious Cantonese meals they make here. I enjoy the roast duck and the jumbo garlic wings. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable on their dishes. I will be a regular here.“

“I had take-out from Peking Chinese Food last night. It was very good. Ordered Egg-Foo Yung, General Tso's Chicken, Fried Chicken Wings. They have the best General Tso's Chicken around. The sauce is incredible! Perfect mix of spicy and sweet. And the Fried Chicken Wings are very tasty, cooked to perfection.“

“The best takeout Chinese food in the area.
Never disappointed and Ma's has the best egg rolls.
Everything on the menu is delicious!
Ma's Oriental is takeout only.
The cleanliness of the establishment, freshness of the ingredients and fast FRIENDLY service is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Definitely the best egg rolls we've had in a while!“

“Excellent food, service, the quantities are larger than expected and with quite reasonable prices, the boba teas are super delicious, my favorite is the coconut one, and the person at the register serves with great warmth and patience, thank you very much.“

“I've been going here for 7 years and they've never disappointed. There's more meat than noodle in my combination pad thai and they pack it in. This will feed me 3-4 times!

Amazing job, my favorite Chinese takeout.“

“Food is the best around . Lots of garbage places out there but there food is great !!!“

“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.“

“Twin Dragons in Hanover Park, IL offers a solid Chinese take‑out experience that feels both familiar and fresh. The restaurant is easy to find at 1820 W Army Trail Rd and the parking lot is convenient for a quick stop 1
. The menu is extensive, featuring classic appetizers such as Egg Rolls ($4.15) and Crab Rangoon ($6.95), plus a wide selection of shrimp, chicken, beef and vegetable dishes that are priced reasonably
2
. I tried the Shrimp w. Garlic Sauce and the Beef w. Broccoli; both arrived hot, well‑seasoned, and generous in portion size.
Service is friendly and efficient – the staff took my order promptly and the food was ready within the estimated delivery window, earning a respectable 4.2‑star rating from other diners 1
. The dining area is modest but clean, and the casual atmosphere makes it a good spot for a family meal or a quick lunch.
The only downside was the limited seating; the small space can feel cramped during peak hours, and the décor is fairly dated. Still, the consistent quality and value keep me coming back, and I’d comfortably give Twin Dragons four stars.“

“Quick service, food is tasty!“

“When we moved to Wheaton someone recommended China Star and we were hooked. Great food, priced right. Clearly a family run restaurant, so you can just tell they care about food quality and customer service. Everything is ready quickly. Our family loves picking up food from here and enjoying our dinner at home.“

“Food is great I've ordered there a couple times already. they don't deliver to me and I'm only 3.4 miles away so I have to go through grubhub which raises the prices on the items when ordering which is terrible. Otherwise, I recommend them so far the best Asian food in Schaumburg.“

“I've been coming here for the better part of 25 years and it's always been the best in the area for Chinese food. Crab Rangoon is delicious, potstickers are fried and unique, all the Chinese takeout staples are top notch. I hope they never change! Maybe add a credit card machine, but I think the small family owned restaurant cash only joint is part of the charm!“

“Food was cooked perfectly. Large portions and absolutely delicious. Very friendly and fast service! Julie and I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“This place has some of the best Chinese food I have found near Hanover park/streamwood/Bartlett. Mongolian Beef is more traditional (spicy and not sweet, packed with beef, white and green onions and includes the crunchy white noodles). The fried rice with shrimp came with good size shrimp. The crab Rangoon is also packed with filling and you can tell they change their oil frequently. We also enjoyed their beef lo mein and sesame chicken. Their food is not salty, but if you like that add a little salt yourself to bring out a tad more flavor. Don’t plan on dining in, it’s not the greatest atmosphere. It is clean but clearly meant for carry out first.“

“We are regulars to Lao Sze Chuan. I personally think the food is very good!“

“Delicious!!! Great food and very friendly!“

“We have a graduation party for 40 people. The service and food were fabulous. Our guests were raving about the food. the staff did a wonderful job. This is a must try! thank you Hannah and staff for a wonderful and memorable party!“

“It’s nice place for quick bite. I had their mango bhai it was good. ( I would prefer more spice but my daughter loved it). My husband had the tandoori chicken burger and loved it. I took bite and I would get that next time. Over all good and would go back.“

“I visited this restaurant on my way to work. Even though they were short-staffed, the service was excellent. Both employees were very kind, and the place was clean.
The food looked fresh and freshly made. The woman who helped (Lorei) me was very attentive, kind, and professional, and took the time to make sure everything was right. I’ve worked in restaurants before, and I can confidently say their customer service is very good.
It’s far from my home, but I wouldn’t mind driving the extra distance if I’m going to receive customer service like this, along with fresh and delicious food.“

“Ordered online and given a “ready by” time of 6:13pm. My son volunteered to pick it up and sat in their parking lot for over an hour. Finally ready for pick up at 7:14pm. Food is great, but they need to revamp their online system to accurately reflect when it will be ready!“

“Food was awesome and staff was very friendly“

“Food is always packed full of flavor! Curbside pick-up is fast and easy. I’ve never ate something there that I didn’t like!“

“Delicious food! Friendly service!“

“Got take out, hot and sour soup was not like other hot and sour soups I've gotten - this one had a thicker and whiter broth than I've seen before, and pieces of chicken in it; no veggies or tofu, just mushrooms and chicken. But it tasted good and not oily or clumpy. Chicken lo mein was also good - the small portion is actually quite large, with large pieces of chicken that didn't seem overly processed. Everything was hot and fresh when I picked up, and not overly greasy (I believe the menu says no MSG also). The prices were rather high compared to other strip mall Chinese food, but portions are large. The dining area wasn't the cleanest, probably wouldn't eat in, but the kitchen seemed clean to me and no hair or anything in the food. I would go back to try some other dishes.“

“Took the whole family here last Friday night and we had a great meal. The pot stickers were super authentic and really delicious, crispy on the bottom just like they should be. Portions were generous and everything came out hot. We’ll definitely come back soon !“

“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!“

“Ordered delivery! First time customer! I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food I received, broccoli shrimp was delicious, no bad aftertaste of antibiotics , very carefully prepared vegetable lo mein , as well as vegetable fried rice all prepared perfectly!my deepest gratitude to the cook! Will order again!!!“

“Happened upon this place and decided to give it a try. I'm thoroughly impressed! From the service (I'm so sorry that I didn't get his name, but he was a younger guy, working at 7:30 on 6/18 and it was his mom's birthday....if that helps up identify which worker)....he was super nice and super helpful! Please pass along how great he is!! But besides the service, the food was AMAZING! I've been in search of a new place, and I'm beyond happy that I happened to be getting ice cream, next door, and happened to see their menu in the window. I kept it simple, this time, but I will definitely be back. Both because of the food, and because of the genuinely pleasant nature of the worker.“

“Delicious food and good ambiance“

“Love this place. Best we've had in a long time. Fresh and yummy.“
