Most Chinese places in Chicago suck. You usually get some half cooked noodles and dry chicken. This place is a much fresher, flavorful, moist, version of Panda Express. At the end of the day, that's the type of Chinese comfort food that I need. I'm not expecting the most accurate Chinese food in America. I just want something that tastes GOOD. This. HITS.

Good food and good prices but not a nice place to eat-in. There are like a hundred chairs in a rather small room.

Really friendly and helpful service and my food was good, but my girlfriend had broken eggshells in her fried rice.

The average 3 stars Chinese place. Fried rice was not impressive but the "Medium" portion was huge. Crab ragoons are disappointing because of too much dough and just a tiny bit of filling.

An fast food restaurant… truly fast food. I was in and out within 15 minutes. If you are really hungry and can’t wait in-line. This is the place. Average quality of food.

It's cafeteria style restaurant where the food is cooked fresh. Now the garlic chicken has not a tap of garlic in it so I wouldn't get that again. The egg rolls and wontons are fresh and good. Would I go back? Yes.

Kung Pao Chicken is bland, making it hard to eat.

I used to grab lunch here all the time before the name change. My go-to entrées were the Garlic Eggplant Chicken and the Salt & Pepper Chicken. They were hard to find elsewhere and perfectly prepared at Chinese 65.Today was my first time back in a year or two and I was shocked that the dining room wasn't packed at noon like before. That should have been my first sign to turn around. I ordered my usual and they only had the bottom of the pan bits left. She plated the dry looking Eggplant Chicken and said I could wait for more Salt & Pepper Chicken if I wanted since I turned down the other available items on the line. Everything looked dry and old. A couple minutes later the lady at the register walked over with my food after paying $13.I'm really disappointed by what I found in the container when I reached my desk. The portions are much smaller, which I'm fine with. The cost has gone up since I've been here last and clearly the quality doesn't match the price. I won't be back. I'll let the photo speak for me. I also have video of me throwing the entire container in the trash.
Always great helpful service. If you go in late in the afternoon, they will wip together a great meal for you.

Inexpensive, typical Chinese takeout with mostly American -Chinese items. But for me this place is special because although they have no vegetarian entrees listed, they made a dish I requested. For being accommodating, extra star.This is going to be my go-to place for eating before my Opera from now on.

Awesome. Burned my tongue I was so eager to dig in. Such authentic flavoring. The pork bbq fried rice was amazing. Huge portion, I got like three meals out of that bad boy. Still recovering from COVID and limited winter hours is apparent, I hope they make it, the food was awesome.

Small portions for big price. Used to be great place, but not so much anymore ?

Very fast, great food, and friendly staff. Located downtown, it's perfect for lunch. Definitely recommend the wonton noodle soup.
