50 Best Chinese Restaurants in Chicago

“Wonderful experience at MCCB! The highlight of our food in Chicago for my whole family 💕“

“Foodie and gals it’s are addictive. Warning!! 💕💕💕💕“

“The most colour co-ordinated restaurant I think I've been in. If duck egg blue isn't in your design aesthetic...you were warned

Food was as authentic as this westerner can recognise. My colleague was disappointed that his chicken and chili main was actually a chili and chicken dish - chill just being supplied by indigestible dried red chilli and nothing fresh. My chicken and clam main was very good. As portions of food both dishes were generous, but no-one can eat 1/2 pound of dried chilli and pretend it was enjoyable.

As a whole though ? Worth the visit.“

“Great dining experience for hot pot.“

“I had an amazing dinner tonight!! The food was tasty, and the atmosphere was superb! Great service as well. Get the duck! 🙌“

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

“We visited Chinatown to explore with our kids and stopped here for a meal and we’re so glad we did! The restaurant was clean and inviting, and the service was great.

They have an extensive menu, and we tried several dishes, including broccoli beef, orange chicken, cucumber salad, crab Rangoon, and beef soup. Everything was fresh and delicious! Our family has been talking about the food since we left.

We live about 45 minutes away, but we’ll definitely be making the trip back. We’re already looking forward to trying the Dongpo tilapia and more of the menu. Highly recommend! Posting a photo but half the food is missing because we ate it so quick!! It was soo yummy!“

“The best restaurant in uptown 👍👍“

“Great little restaurant with plenty of seating and a good variety of menu options. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Service was quick and efficient, with a fast table turnover, and our food came out quickly and fresh. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience. I also really appreciated the busser’s thoughtfulness. I accidentally left my beanie at the restaurant, and the busser came out to hand it back to me. That kind gesture really stood out and made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’d come back to!“

“REALLY loved the vibes here. We got cocktails and different noodle dishes to try out and each was divine. I'm from the midwest, so I'm used to the americanized chinese takeout, so I love when I can find a place serving better food than that and this was perfect!“

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

“We had a terrific experience here. Great service, atmosphere, and the Hong Kong style curry cuttlefish was to die for. Will definitely be back“

“Omg all food was amazing … Worth every penny and more .. the staff super friendly and attentive..!! Kudos“

“This is a laid-back fast food restaurant where the ordering process is simple and doesn’t require any social effort (that's what I value most).

In the US, fake socializing, feigned respect, and moral blackmail are everywhere, I need more authentic dining environments free from social obligations.“

“Great food! Got the mushroom noodles a vegan option that was super savory- not even vegan but it was super filling and delicious. My mom was having a hard time ordering and the waitress with the eyelid tattoos and dyed hair got snippy with her. I don’t get to see my mom often and as someone who is also in the service industry it’s frustrating to see someone so easily annoyed with basic customer service.“

“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!!!“

“Highly Recommended this place“

“First time in Chicago china town. I ordered beef noodle soup and I enjoyed that. The food preparation was fast and the food itself was tasty. Atmosphere can be cleaner than this but it was acceptable. Very nice spot if you want something tasty with reasonable prices.“

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

“They have the best Chinese food down. I always get the string beans and the sesame chicken. It’s so delicious.“

“love the dine in experience...Nuff said“

“Excellent food! We really liked it.“

“It's amazing they have big portions, and they tastes amazing. I am very surprised thair the place isn't bigger than it is. I truly think that they have big potential. 😀“

“Love this place. Food is delicious 😋“

“I love this place, you need to try the handmade biang biang noodles at the restaurant, its not the same if you get it take out. Even they will tell you that. The flatbread is interesting too, you want that crunchy. These are two types of items you can't get at other chinese restaurants.“

“I always enjoy dining at Ping Pong. The food is always amazing and the staff is very attentive. They also have a nice wine selection and creative cocktails.“

“Delicious!! The noodles and broth were amazing. Got the oxtail soup. Fantastic!! The fried dumplings were great. Reasonably priced too.“

“Shanghai Terrace is ALWAYS excellent. The food is incredible... and the service is unquestionably some of the best in Chicago. We have been sitting in Max's section for years and he truly understands and provides exceptional customer service all the time...“

“Amazing food and fast!! My friends and I really enjoyed dinner at Sun Wah!!“

“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!!!“

“Phenomenal flavor, freshness and value. I got the 5 Hour Pork belly one with purple cabbage on it. Absolutely delicious. Been wanting to try this place ever since it opened. I will be back. Took less than 10 min. for my food to be ready.

Be aware when ordering online- it tried to add an automatic tip, but if you catch it, you can change it. They are nonetheless delightful and very quick with the food.
Worth tipping whatever your heart desires. : )

I only ordered for pick up, but I know for a fact it's good people watching between the red & blue line by the pedway. There are several places to sit and I like that it's not super bright. They also sell cute keychains and a crazy amount of tea options.“

“We had a good experience. Good food and friendly staffing.“

“Absolutely delicious! The hot and sour soup brought the heat, but didn't over power the flavor. We also had a variety of the dim sum, the best was the pot stickers. Fun atmosphere, great service“

“The best Chinese food I’ve ever had! You can tell it’s a family-owned restaurant. They can be a little serious at times, but I believe that’s simply part of their culture. Don’t miss the opportunity to try their food—it’s absolutely delicious! 10/10!“

“This is definitely some of the better dim sum I’ve had. I’m not sure what it’s called but my favorite one is like shrimp amd egg and it’s a little toasted. And the custard tart is so good. The crust is so flaky“

“This place is a legitimate place for ramen.. I’m picky when it comes to ramen and this place did not disappoint.“

“Delicious food and fast delivery! I've had food from Wonder Chop many times, pick up and delivery. It's always been hot and delicious. The staff has been welcoming, friendly, and my order is correct. Love this place!“

“Best Chinese food in Chicago! The Kung Pao Chicken is one of my favorites along with their Pork Fried Rice, but I have enjoyed many of their dishes - BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Egg Rolls, Pot Stickers, Beef Chop Suey on crispy chow mein noodles - all delicious. The servings are large - plenty to share or take home for tomorrow's lunch. All the staff are friendly and efficient, and you can eat in, pickup or order delivery. Try House of Wah Sun; you won't be disappointed.“

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

“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!!!“

“We ordered their usual signature dishes. Although the prices have gone up their quality remained high so everyone was happy. We were all saddened by the news that this restaurant will close by the end of this year. It has been an establishment in Berkeley for almost 50 years!“

“I haven't visited this restaurant in two decades and I am sorry for all the GREAT Dim Sum I missed! The resturant is freshly remodeled and the place is bright and airy.

They have plenty of unique Dim Sum items and one the dishes I just tried is the Golden (Tofu) Jade (Brocolli) Crepe. Outstanding! The staff is helpful and super friendly.

We will be diffinately returning to try the rest of the menu and we are really looking forward to it!“

“Absolutely delicious! Authentic, traditional flavors. There were 3 of us and we paid less than $40 total. A must-try spot in Chinatown! The food is so good, and while the place is small and more of a quick eat-and-go kind of spot, I'd come back a thousand times over. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve eaten at this place many times, so I’m glad to share my recommendation. All the dishes taste wonderful with great ingredients. The service is quick and attentive. It is a great spot for casual meals. I really enjoy dining here and suggest everyone give it a try.“

“Definitely recommend! First time ordering - ordered orange chicken and ken kee fried rice - will be ordering again!!“

“Atmosphere was very quiet ,they are very polite., your pot comes to your table you get to put in what you would like to eat you pick your meat they bring it to your table everything else you pick out how you want and how you choose to eat your food they have fried rice there they have regular rice there they have all types of green vegetables that you might want to put in lettuce bok choy spinach cilantro fresh bean sprouts just a whole array of different types of things all kinds of noodles within. rice noodles the big noodles, just everything all kinds of protein I even had squid or they have whatever you you thing you wanted to try so many veggies that you can almost make a salad. you fix it. Enjoy“

“Such a great place! My two little boys ate it all up. The clear broth ground pork soup was excellent! The flavor was so yummy and their noodles tasted homemade. The staff was so friendly and welcoming! The only thing I can say is the soup dumplings could have had a little more soup inside. We would definitely come back!“

“A literal hole in the wall, but a hidden gem. I’ve been ordering from here since 2010 and the food has always been delicious. The portions sizes are big enough for two people even if you order a small size. The lady at the window is always kind and happy to help. I definitely recommend ordering from here!“

“Hands down some of the best Chinese food in the city. I’m talking from the suburbs to China town.“

“They removed the self-serve setup by the wall. Now they are using the paper menu that you mark what you want and they will bring to your table. It is fine if you eat lunch or when they are not so busy but if it’s dinner or weekends you may wait for a while to get foods served. I personally like the self-serve style more since I don’t need to wait. I came for lunch $23.99/person, it’s not busy, the staff served foods quickly, no wait.“
