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!“

“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.“

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

“This is THE best dinner spot outside of Chicago if you don't want to spend $100 a plate. Ordered a bunch of gluten free food as my wife has celiac and we couldn't believe the quality - you would never know it's not gluten! They take their care with cross contamination and they were incredibly fast and polite. 1000000/10 my only date night spot now“

“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.“

“My new favorite Chinese restaurant. The food is awesome, the people are friendly, and everything was great. We dined in, had an order of dumplings, curry chicken, and shredded pork with special sauce. Everything was fantastic. 100% will be going back again.“

“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 :)“

“great place and food friendly staff“

“It seems like this restaurant may be under new management, and my experience was a bit mixed. 🤔 The food was decent and tasted fine, but the portions felt smaller than expected considering the prices. 🍽💸 Unfortunately, the service was the biggest disappointment. Our server didn't seem very welcoming and appeared annoyed whenever we asked questions about the menu, which made the experience less enjoyable. 😕 With so many great Asian restaurants in the Naperville area, I'd probably choose one of those before coming back. Hopefully things improve in the future because this place has potential. 🍜✨“

“The restaurant was quiet and the staff was very polite about the food they had prepared for us in advance and they had given me the best meal I had ever eaten and the food I was able to get in a good mood for a long time overall I am very happy that I had my best weekend of this month and I suggest you who are looking for a best dinner place for a small special dinner“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“This is our go to place for Chinese food! The quality is always consistent, great portions, and the team that runs it is so sweet. They take care of their customers and we are regulars because of that. We get a big take out from them at least once a month. Would recommend to anyone local to the area!!“

“Love their panang curry chicken!“

“Food was awesome and staff was very friendly“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food was amazing the sweet&sour chicken was amazing and the crab Rangoon’s were actually the best I’ve ever tasted and the vegetable lo mein amazing the perfect amount of noodles to veggies ratio I 100,000,000,000% be going back“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Delicious food and good ambiance“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Yum. Always consistent. Always our favorite.“

“Quick service, food is tasty!“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem. There are a lot of frequent Chinese dinners including us. Definitely one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in the US. If your favorite Chinese dish is orange chicken or general tso’s chicken, this is not the place for you. But if you want to have a glimpse of authentic Chinese flavors, this is the place. The only thing I do think the restaurant can benefit from is a renovation. An upgrade to the decoration can make this a date place.“

“My husband and I finally tried China Star after living in Wheaton for almost two years, and we’re sad we haven’t had it sooner! All the food we got was delicious, from the fried rice to the dumplings to the general tso chicken. We can’t wait to order it again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious food! Friendly service!“

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

“Let’s get one thing straight. People, no one is perfect. Every single restaurants have its own problems. I have been going to this restaurant for at least 3 years. This is one of my favorite of places. Never had one single issue that I can say is worthwhile giving them a bad review. Sometimes people do reviews based on one single visit. Try to give this people a little a break and maybe another chance, if you are still not happy go to along with whatever is going to make you happy or where you can maybe complaint and get a free meal.“

“Foo REAL Suchi FEAST FLYING FLAV“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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 !“

“Great value! My wife and I came for lunch and the food was relatively fresh for a buffet. Always hot and delicious. My wife liked the sushi options and I like the fresh Hibachi grill. Drinks were included which made the whole lunch very reasonably priced!“
