32 Best Chinese Restaurants near Crystal Lake

“The Breakers was my mother's favorite place to go out to eat. I took her to The Breakers many times. We always enjoyed any of the many menu items that were available. Elizabeth Landers was her name, and I am sure you are familiar with her son Edward. The service was always top notch.She liked a Brandy Ice for desert!“

“we've been going to Chen's for over 30 years at least once a month. people are awesome, the food is outstanding and the prices are exceptionally reasonable. disregard negative reviews. anyone that goes there on a regular basis would highly recommend. a nice family restaurant not a chain.“

“We come here all the time. Always great service and the food is always awesome.“

“We love to get takeout from here and sometimes will dine in. Their service is always on point! Their food is always consistently delicious! Seriously the best chinese food in town! We have tried the sushi, appetizers, and the traditional chinese dishes and all are delicious! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!“

“Elizabeth was a great help on the phone prior to ordering a large take out order.
Then when I arrived to pick up I saw in person how good she was at her job. It was very busy at that time. Elizabeth was happy and helpful to her coworkers, to me and every other customer she helped 🤩.“

“Delicious! Fast and friendly service. I prefer their chicken and beef over any of their fried selections like sesame chicken, but the freshness of the food is always on point. I love the Mongolian beef and any of the fried rice (though the specialty rice with all the proteins in it is my fave) and my husband loves the moo shu beef and the straw mushroom chicken. We also enjoy sharing the garlic chicken which is probably my overall fave on the menu. The egg rolls are also my absolute favorite and I order them every time. The peanut sauce makes them so perfect and savory.“

“Simply the best around - quality ingredients with perfectly executed texture & flavor - friendly staff - “since 1971” says a bunch - our favorite food in Woodstock!“

“Great Chinese food. Especially the Oriental Delight. And the best egg rolls in the world. Nice people, they appreciate your business“

“Recently moved back from Colorado and have gone years without a good place for boba, egg rolls and crab Rangoons. This place was a 10/10! The atmosphere was great the employees/owners were phenomenal we had an allergy issue and they right away stepped in wanting to accommodate us which is very rare for places to jump in fast wanting to help accommodate. Definitely recommend this place we will for sure be back! Not to mention the bobo drink containers were soo adorable!“

“The food tastes amazing and there are large portions“

“Affordable & it taste good every Platter size was so huge & it Runs with Family treat you good like your Family too.. i will highly recommend this place for the people out there thats love Chinese Foods.“

“I've been coming to this establishment for over ten years plus unfortunately I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO RAW AND RANCID PORK BONELESS MEALS ON THE COMBO MENU!! WITH ALL DUE RESPECT SIR PLEASE FOR ALL THAT'S RIGHT AND JUST !!!! PLEASE CLOSE DOWN !!!!🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢“

“Wow, just WOW. Words cannot begin to describe just how pleased I am with my dining experience. Friendly staff, great food, and amazing atmosphere are just some of the things that contributed to my unforgettable experience. Not only was there little to no wait time, the workers were very patient and kind towards me while I was ordering my food. After receiving my food, the least I can say is that I was simply blown away. The portion sizes are immaculate and the flavors are unlike anything I’ve had before. I will definitely be returning here for my future meals and I can’t recommend it to others enough.“

“This place was close by loved their steamed chicken and vegetables with the white rice and sauce delicious their chicken fried rice was ok not the best but edible
Their egg rolls were not as crunchy as I would have liked
Overall 7/10 it's the second closest spot around so definitely will come back to try different things but small decent place parking was good! No problems or complaints there!“

“I was there today for lunch and asked if they could leave the fried rice off because I could not eat rice. I realized later that she must have misunderstood me as she got very offended and said "if you don't like it - go someplace else." I exchanged a few words with her as I thought her comment to go someplace else just because I asked for no fried rice on my Plate (I cannot eat rice anymore) was very rude. We fininished our lunch which was delicious and went on our way. I have frequented this restaurant several times and have never made a special request so YUM YUM lady was always nice. If she reads this I would like to APOLOGIZE to her as I think her fried rice is delicious. I just am unable to eat rice at this point. A misunderstanding that could have been avoided.“

“Eaten from here at least 50 times. There are many things on the menu that are a bit too sweet to me. We landed on the chicken or steak or shrimp with mixed vegetables and Curry Chicken as our favorites. Our out of town friends always ask us to get dinner from here as well. Their pricing offers really good value as well.\n\nAlso, the Chicken Chop Suey and Cashew Chicken are also very good as well. The restaurant has a variety of tastes (savory, sweet, or spicy) so if something doesn't appeal to you, try something different. Recommend getting a few items in size small to try out.“

“They make really good cooked to order fried rice. My Fiancé has also enjoyed sushi from this establishment. Top notch stuff.“

“I had the pleasure of experiencing this restaurant today. This is Chinese restaurant I've eaten at in a very long time. Their spring rolls are the best I've ever had, period. The rainbow lo mein was outstanding. They serve oolong tea in pots, which is something no restaurant does where I live, so that was a treat. If I could give this review more than 5 stars I would. This is a must dine restaurant.“

“Great. Asked for no oil or minimum oil, and they did it. Lots of flavor. Thanks.“

“Just ordered from there, half food was cold, most tasted steamed to no flavor beef in chop seuy and fried rice was not chewable, messed up the order and over charged me, I got 10 pounds of food that I threw out, never again“

“Family and I had some great food tonight. Large portions too. Will be back.“

“I've eaten at many good sushi spots and this is one of my absolute favorites for so many reasons. Everything is sooo fresh, portions are large, and the staff is great(ask for Liam, he's the best)! Liam is especially great to making sure kiddos have a great dining experience too and is very attentive.“

“Been going here for years. Best Chinese food I’ve ever had love this place. Showed my partner this place couple years ago and he says the same thing. We live in WI and we will drive an hour just to get it from here when we’re wanting Chinese food! Also their crab Rangoon is very good!“

“born and raised in chicago which obv has some of the best chinese food. that being said, when i tried this place yesterday i was blown away actually lol. the chicken pad thai was some of the best i’ve ever had. such a good portion and sooo fresh. the crab rangoon was also amazing! had the perfect amount of filling and wasn’t overly breaded/crispy.
i will deff be coming here more often since i’m living near by and am super impressed with the quality! ❤️“

“I order often from China Wok. Most of the time they are fantastic. Every now and than maybe a new employee comes along or someone is trying to manage with little help.

However the other week when I went in I had ordered my order to the other location. Not only was I met with grace from this location as I told them my mistake. But they remade my order and added in a few extra things. As they noticed I was off. Like mentioned we order often.

I was so touched by this experience as I had a meltdown from life events inside my favorite Chinese food place. Of all places you think you would. You just couldn't get yourself together. Yet someone that just knows you like... fill in the blank of the thing you order. Saw you were hurting and met you with kindnesses, grace, and love. She even brought my food out to my car for me and gave me a little side hug and said it was going to be oh k. A few weeks later still healing, but it is oh k. As far as customer service. I would pay extra just to know someone cares, and they do here. I can testify to that. ❤️ Some people say people can heal you with a meal. Maybe not physical but definitely mentally that was healing and touching.“

“Gilbert's have the best pepper steak. The egg foo young was good. The orange chicken meat was overcooked, tough, dried out, and soggy. The honey garlic chicken was overcooked, tough, dried out, and soggy. Please fix the chicken by making it moist and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Thank you.“

“I really don’t understand the negative reviews of this place… their lo mein and fried rice are our absolute fav and it’s always so hot, fresh and delivery is timely and everyone is friendly. You will keep being our go-to Chinese place!“

“3 people working at lunch time, wouldn’t even know it. The efficiency of the employees is extremely impressive. Was worried about the line when I walked in. Was faster than most places that are dead. Great staff! Great food! Thank you for a great lunch.“

“Went for lunch today, Sunday. I found the price to be reasonable, and the selection of food excellent. Have 2 suggestions: 1. The soup was very hot, excellent. However, the food was not. Lukewarm at best. 2. I skipped several dishes because I had no idea what they were. Signage very poor. The staff was very friendly and I will definately try it again. (I love buffets, but I also love my food hot.)“

“My significant other was craving Panda... so I drove him to get there before heading to the grocery store. Service was extremely fast, and the staff were polite and attentive. Food was decently good, the place was clean and the atmosphere was chill. It's worth it .“
