50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Chicago Ridge

“Gen Hoe is a quality family-run Chinese takeout restaurant. While you can dine in, there's really no reason to unless you're stopping in from far away. That aside, the food is generally good, minus a few menu items, and the portions compared to price make it well worth it.“

“Love this place. Food is delicious 😋“

“We came from Wisconsin to ouck up food from this joint!!! the food is STRAIGHT!!! DELICIOUS!!! Henry was very hospitable and a great person!!! thank you Henry for the great food!!! It was worth the 2 hour drive!!! we will be back!!!“

“I was visiting with a friend i havent seen for a very long time. We couldnt have picked a better place to go. Crystal was our waitress for this afternoon and was super sweet and very observant. The chocolate soufflé she recommended for dessert was absolutely delicious. Thank you for the Pleasant afternoon. We will def. Be returning again soon!“

“From the minute we walked in everything was wonderful. Our server was friendly and beyond accommodating. As was the chef when we requested a dish not on the menu. The food was exceptional. The best Chinese food we’ve ever had in the suburbs. Definitely compares to Chinatown.“

“This place has great food and is a great value. A few years ago, it was about the same value as all the other Chinese restaurants. Then, those other restaurants chose to jack their prices up 50%. However, Northern Taste did not fall into that greedy trap. As a result, it now not only has really tasty food, but it is also a great deal. In addition, when things aren't right, they are very apologetic and do what they can to make things right. I definitely recommend you try this place, especially the lunch specials!“

“Chicken fried rice, extra dark, extra spicy. Flame. � � �.“

“Been coming to the spot for the past year and I can say its very delicious! I'm a sucker for asian food especially Chinese and this is the best chinese restaurant in the area (including La Grange). Prices are great, the staff are very friendly and efficient. Food made always on time and so tasteful! I been to many chinese restaurants before and this one if by far my top 5. Try to take advantage of their lunch specials also! This place is always a hit, love their rice, egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken AND they have some delicious beef chow fun. (Photo with the shrimp and egg roll n rice is a lunch special plate)“

“My favorite place to get Chinese food! I’ve tried soooo many different places and keep coming back to this location whenever I visit my dad’s place in the burbs. I live in the city now and have tried many places there as well, but wish there was a Chen’s like this near my place. The food here is fresh, high quality, filled with flavor, good texture and never fails to make me full with the portions they give. I still have leftovers for the next few days!“

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

“My family and I traveled to Chicago twice this year and dined at the Asian Cuisine Express both times. The owner, cooks and wait staff were all extremely friendly and made each of our visits a wonderful experience. We ordered Chinese and Japanese food and we also sampled some of their new delicious tacos... everything we tried was absolutely fantastic. We live 300 miles away so we ordered a lot of takeout to bring home with us to share with our friends who didn't get to make the trips. Asian Cuisine express will be a regular stop now for us every time we go to Chicago... we highly recommend everyone tries this restaurant and we can't wait until we visit there again. Thanks to all the great people at Asian Cuisine Express!!!“

“First time ordering from this place and I was surprised when I was in their menu Chinese BBQ ribs! They were tender and well seasoned. The rice with chicken was great you don’t need any additional side with it since the rice itself is delicious.“

“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💐“

“Good taste, good service, very clean if in a place that I recommend 😋😋😋“

“When I discovered this place let me tell you something... there is not a Chinese food around me that my Kids you know what I mean Kids love. Yes, we always get Chinese food from this place because It's fresh made and they give big portions and like I said my kids love it.“

“This place reminds me of the old Chinatown before COVID and the reason I used to go to Chinatown. It's, affordable with good portions, it has that older Chinese restaurant feel to it, yet clean, and the service is good with a fast waitress who has a good memory and doesn't need a notepad. Service is fast and the food is fresh and hot served with tea. Free parking close by. Highly recommend you check it out and if you like your food a bit spicy, ask for it and it will make a huge difference.“

“Small no dining great food! Also you don't wait long unless you order a lot but clean I hate they are cash only a Lil dangerous but who am I! Decent prices and food always hot n fresh from what I experience just ate there tonight orange chicken and spicy fried rice can't go wrong!“

“This is the second time we've ordered from here, and the food tastes great.
We ordered KUNG BAO DELIGHT, and it was very tasty, and the portion was very large.
We also ordered COMBINATION FRIED RICE, and it tasted great, but I asked to make spicy, and they didn't prepare it properly.
We also ordered EGG ROLLS, and they were delicious and a good size, but the CRAB RAGOONS were good, but a little over-fried.
Highly recommended.“

“I’ve been coming here since 2005, and it’s truly top-tier. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and generous enough to last two or three days. What sets this place apart is the family behind it—they’ve made every visit feel personal. I’ve watched their daughter grow up, always helping out, and now she’s graduated college and is off pursuing her dreams. They always remember your order and do their best to accommodate. Just a heads up: call ahead to place your order—otherwise, you might be waiting a bit. But trust me, it’s always worth it.“

“Always a fun experience! Delicious food!“

“This is the ONLY Chinese takeout place I order from. Portions are massive and for an amazing price. The orange chicken is so good it's like crack. Crab ragoons are also comparable to crack. I order from here like once a month. My stomach hates me but the food is soo good 👍👍👍👍👍“

“My favorite Chinese takeout 🥡 Food is always hot and delicious 😋 been coming here for 4 years and going strong. Food is always fresh and cooked to ordered. Smoothies are a must too. FYI; They only offer take-out and delivery, no dine in.“

“We came here as four people and ordered about seven dishes. Overall the flavors were good, portions very big, and some dishes stood out.

• Sliced beef tenders and pork w. spicy sauce (夫妻肺片): The best dish of the night — seasoning was excellent, portion generous for an appetizer. We even packed one to go.
• Shreded potato, the chilly one (尖椒土豆丝): Actually tasted more like sweet-and-sour potato, not really “chilly.” Flavor was fine, just different from the name.
• Small combination (小拼盘): Pork head, beef, and Harbin dried sausage. All cured meats, flavorful but quite salty.
• Ganbian string beans (干扁四季豆): Traditional and authentic, but a bit salty.
• Sweet and sour sliced pork, the vinegar flavor (老式锅包肉): Very crispy, big slices, vinegar taste made it refreshing. Definitely recommend this version over ketchup style.
• One pot dish (东北一锅出): With ribs, beans, corn. This one was disappointing and below expectations — I wouldn’t recommend.

Service wasn’t great: the waiter seemed rushed, kept pushing us to order, and one vegetable dish we ordered never arrived. Environment was okay, not too crowded.

👉Food overall is tasty and authentic Northeastern style. but skip the one pot dish.“

“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.“

“Excellent food every time. I just love Mushroom Egg Foo Young and they use fresh mushroom as well as all the food is good & fresh with the best ingredients!! This is the place for Asian Food with a menu that can’t be beat.“

“First time ordering take out from here. We ordered sweet and sour chicken, beef lo mein, beef and broccoli and crab rangoons. Everything was delicious! We also got mango and watermelon smoothies. So good! We will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“The place was packed when I arrived. First time here, i ordered teriyaki beef stickd and a coconut smoothie. The teriyaki sticks were full of flavor and tender, not dry. The smoothie didn't have sugar so it taste of plain coconut milk. It was unexpected but good. Other places can be too sweet. Great prices, will come back!“

“If I could give the service 10/5 stars I would. Not only is the food some of the best around. They are amazing in service, kindness. This is a place I’ve gone to for a good while. I can’t help but rave about them. If you want some great Chinese come here!!“

“I came here to get a solo dinner during some rainy weather on a very empty stomach. I shouldve had a little something before i came because i was getting a bit hangry (not their fault of course) but they made sure to seat me ASAP. Service was phenomenal and their options for the prices are very reasonable. They have a self serve buffet style for your hotpot such as veggies, eggs, fish etc. and even some warm options like fried rice and lo mein that i was so happy to munch on until my soup got very hot and got to cooking.
They also have a small bar with dessert options like their coconut or mocha cake, fruits and ice cream.

Id definitely bring more people next time but i was craving hot pot and didnt want to be bothered with feeling like i needed to talk/entertain friends as i enjoy my own company most often times.

I am so happy they accomodated my solo date and i left very happy and full!!😋“

“Such a welcoming restaurant, ordered carry out and they exceeded our expectations for such an affordable price. The young man at the front was so hospitable and friendly, he showed how much he cares. Such good food, our shrimp fried rice was LOADED with shrimp! 10/10 chance we’re going back.“

“fantastic food, large portions“

“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!“

“We just dined in the renovated Hunan Inn and loved it. We’ve been getting takeout from here for 20 years and have dined in many times, and were curious what the newly reopened restaurant would be like. We couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised - we got a few of the same dishes we’ve ordered for years, as well as a couple new ones to test it out. The quality of the meat and seafood is on another level now; the batter on the chicken is fresh and crispy; giant, meaty shrimp made the fried rice even better; and the Mongolian beef was tender (not spongy or fatty) and the sauce was caramelized perfectly. The crab Rangoon were lighter and had a noticeably more authentic crab flavor, and were delighted that our favorite egg rolls seem to have stayed exactly the same! We also tried the new mango sago snow ice which we will definitely get again — a really light and not too seeet way to finish the meal. Overall couldn’t be happier with the new and improved Hunan Inn.“

“Got delivery via Fantuan, tried their lamb soup (amazing flavor, incredibly soothing), buckwheat beef dumplings and sour cabbage pork dumplings. 10/10 and would definitely order again. Came steamed with chili oil and black vinegar. Also tried their new chef special pancake wraps with spring bean shoots and pork, the wraps were incredible with great texture“

“Absolutely the best Chinese restaurant ever!! The pork fried rice is a 10 star and their pork lo mien is outstanding! As soon as I get back to the Chicago area I make a point to eat here and bring some back with me! I can’t stress enough how delicious their food is!!!“

“the service is bad, the lady taking orders is rude. BUT..the food and portions are good. I would get the lunch specials bc they don't have dinner special and you will save like 10 or more dollars w the lunch special..but the portions are huge“

“We were in the area and I am feeling under the weather, whenever I am sick I love eating egg drop soup and moo goo gai pan. I looked all over the area for those two dishes and while many places carried egg drop soup, only Wing Wah had the moo goo gai pan. So, we got two orders of each and 2 orders of egg rolls. Let me start off by saying their portions are huge! The egg drop soup was 3.65 I think? But they are quarts not pints. It was so flavorful without being too salty. They had fresh green onions in it, plenty of egg and was piping hot!! The egg rolls come in a two pack and were delicious!
Their moo goo gai pan was really delicious as well, we could have gotten away with ordering one of everything but since I’m sick, I did not want to get the hubby sick by sharing. Their moo goo gai pan came with fried rice and when I tell you it was some of the best fried rice I’ve had in a minute I mean it! Only place that tops them is in Columbus Ohio. Seriously they take number 2 spot for the best fried rice in the county 😆 this location doesn’t have dine in, take out only, but I don’t mind as they provided utensils and plates. I already saved them in my favorites as we are in Illinois several times a year.“

“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!!!“

“AMAZING! DELICIOUS! YUMMY! The food was absolutely delicious with incredible flavor. Shrimp broccoli is the best. I’ll be ordering from them for the rest of my life! If you’re looking for delicious Chinese food from kind, humble owners, this is the place to go.“

“Saw their expansive menu - decided to give it a try... Right on Ogden Ave in a small strip mall next door to Nono's Pizza!
Use to go to N-Joy, it closed permanently! Wok N Roll does fill their shoes & more! Their Wings are even better! Egg Foo Young too! Their veggies are so fresh, exceptionally nice, Fried Rice, Crab Rangoon also very good.. They're clean, very helpful / friendly, fast service...
They got coupons for free food, cash or credit, there's some seating for a small space so it's mostly take out, which is convenient... Definitely Express & a delightful surprise... Xie xie
Our ❤️new❤️ go to Chicago Southside Chinese takeout...“

“We like this place. Decent food biggest complaints is the lack of beef and also all sushi type items are imitation crab only. I don't care for either crab or imitation crab so either way not great to me. No complaints as far as taste food is always fresh when we go lots of chicken and broccoli or seafood and broccoli and fries items“

“China Tea has been our family’s go-to since the mid-80’s! The food is fresh and tastes better than the rest. Family that has moved to CA makes it a must go when they visit. Also, Juan is the best of the best. Best service I’ve ever had.“

“This was our first time ordering. Our place we used to go to closed. I was looking for something new. The food was excellent. I would highly recommend to others to order from Jade Garden. Going forward we continue to order from them. Very Good“

“I love the food here i always went even as a little girl with my mom and grandma. I still remember when the lady was pregnant and working there. I absolutely love their eggrolls and chicken yellow rice. Till this day im 34 and still buy their food. Its the best! ❤️❤️“

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

“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.“

“Really great Chinese takeout. Hard to find good Americanized Chinese takeout that’s not super upscale in the Chicago area, but this place hits it right on the head. Huge portions, good food (really good fried rice), and cheap (especially considering the portion sizes).“

“Sort of an eye sore from the outside looking in, but the food is amazing. Lunch specials 7 days a week for $6.60 including tax. Shrimp fried rice, your choice of a variety of options, an egg roll, and a fortune cookie. You can't beat that price. Large portions, and very tasty. I've been going here since the 90s when it was "New Happy Chop Suey"“

“Love this place. Food is hot , fresh , delicious!! Customer service 10 stars and delivery add another 50 stars! Quick AF if you live within 2 miles. They always say food will be delivered in 45 min but 15 min later ding dong, foods here. And they swipe your card in person so no need to share your credit card ? over the phone. ? Give them a chance good people with great tasting food. Let’s not confuse great tasting with exceptional but if your in a pinch and hungry as heck then order from them.“

“I'm obsessed with Chinese food, and this place always nails my order! Don't forget to ask for spicy - it adds a nice kick! Their noodles, egg rolls, fried rice, and sesame chicken are my go-tos. Highly recommend! Plus, the service is super fast. Can't wait to order again! 🥡🌟“
