8 Best Chinese Restaurants near Elgin

“After ordering from all six Chinese restaurants that are in South Elgin or bordering on Elgin, I can confidently say this restaurant has the best Chinese food in the area.

The food quality and flavor is not only on par or better than all of the others, but the pricing is the most fair as well.

With respect towards the other Chinese restaurants, I don't see why I would order Chinese food from anyone else while this establishment is around.“

“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 :)“

“By far the best Chinese take out in the area! Consistently good, have enjoyed their food for over 35 years! So glad we can still enjoy their food. Look forward to every order! We have our typical order but every on e any a while we will try something new and have never been disappointed!!! I moved to the west side of town but will still drive for the best!“

“Hands down best Chinese in the area. Reminds me of my childhood favorite where they used to put green peppers, tomato, and pineapple in the sweet and sour sauce. That is rare. The egg rolls are my favorite too. Great all around Chinese. Old school. IYKYK“

“Food was amazing best thing I’ve had in Elgin. Customer Service is also amazing, met this young man who greeted me and had an amazing convo with as long as helping me choose what to get, get this man a raise I think his name is sammy or sum! Anyways excellent service!“

“I’m always seeking out new to me places and I’ve heard of this spot from other friends for many years and just recently had the chance to visit. I wish I would’ve visited sooner!

This spot is not much for ambience inside or outside but on the day of my visit they had brisk takeout and the dining room was packed…real quick. I’m sure a lot of folks go here for the Chinese menu items but I was there for the Lao goodies! They did not disappoint!

We had the fried meat balls; a mixed app plate with chicken wings, Lao sausage, and beef jerky; lap beef; and a healthy serving of sticky rice (ok maybe we had 2 to sop up the lap beef).

Flavors were on point. Medium spice had us excited and rolling at the same time as it got spicier throughout the meal for the lap…but it was so good! I can’t wait to go back and try more!

Service was friendly and attentive. Parking was easy since they have their own lot.“
