50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Elmwood Park

“Food is very fresh and delicious“

“Been going here for over 45 years and never had one bad meal. The remodeled restaurant is fantastic and very comfortable.“

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

“Fried shrimp jianbing was a delectable combination of so many textures and flavors wrapped up in a freshly griddled crepe. The textural contrast between the shatteringly crispy wonton sheet and the soft, chewy crepe was downright addictive. Every bite was flavorful: smoky, savory, slightly sweet, a little spicy, and wildly satisfying. It's the comfort of street food in one messy, glorious handful.“

“Lao Peng Yu
Amazing food packed with tons of flavors! Appreciate they have multiple options that you can make vegetarian. We tried
- cucumber salad: super light and refreshing. similar to din tai ding’s cucumbers. i might actually like these more 🫢
- scallion noodles: very simple dish but the sauce packs a ton of flavors
- dan dan noodles: great vegetarian options topped with tons of veggies. wasn’t my favorite compared to the scallion noodles, but i never been a huge fan of peanuts
- mushroom dumplings - loved the filing and the sauce was great
overall, i get the hype. this is a place i would definitely come back to over and over. we got there as soon as they opened on a sunday and the place was packed within 30 mins!“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Very good Chinese food 🍱 best in the neighborhood:)“

“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.“

“It’s everything you want from a Chinese place. I honestly don’t believe any review less than 5 stars. Our area is plagued by bad to mid at best Chinese food, and Moy Yuen is a shining star (5 stars!). Everything we order is always delish and cooked quickly. The phone order is efficient with no delays. Try orange chicken, general chicken, lo mein, Mongolian beef, and Singapore noodles. And don’t forget the egg roll. The place is no frills but consistently great above average Chinese food in the Western Suburbs.

“Great Local Chinese Food Spot in the Neighborhood. As a Custoner of 7 years I can say the quality of the food is great & has remained consistent. Tasty, Filling, and good Portions even when you Order a Small. They also have delicious Fruit Slushies. I love that they Don't use Vegetable Oils or MSG. They have a great Menu Selection with Fair Prices.“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“Food is great, big portions for both chicken and rice dishes and the prices are affordable. The owner is so nice, & although I’ve only gotten take out, the restaurant itself is cute inside. Only thing that makes me SO sad is the fortune cookies are ads!!! So dystopian :( it kind of ruined my favorite part, please go back to regular fortunes!!!“

“this place slaps. full stop. i never leave reviews but both the service and food were so excellent that i had to. first time here- i’ve never been so full in my life and taken home so much food for such a good price. i’d def come back and also order takeout from here“

“Wow truly a hidden Gem! 🤩 A must try for Chinese lovers!! My boyfriend got me dinner from here~ he grew up in the area & we are in our 30s so that shows how long they’ve been around! I got the sweet & sour chicken which is amazing! I LOVE that the fried chicken pieces are separate from the sauce~ the chicken stays crispy!! Very tasty! The employee was also very sweet! Definitely take out only vibes. Cash only as well! We’ll be back for sure! Thank you🔥“

“I had an amazing experience at Hong Huah. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious every dish we tried was full of flavor and clearly made with care.

The owners, Arnold and his dad, are some of the kindest and most welcoming people we’ve ever met. They truly make you feel like family with their friendliness and warmth.

I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner. If you’re looking for great food and even better service, this is definitely the place to go!“

“The coziest spot for Chinese comfort dishes! Everything was honestly delicious. Plus the service was so friendly and great! The portions are huge — great for sharing multiple plates with a group. The sesame chicken breading is perfect. The lo fon noodles were delicious.“

“First time here loved the lunch special great price surprisingly good quality food the beef Mongolian was tender not tough and chewy like most restaurants, you can tell the cook takes pride in her cooking and makes it the best she can must be passed down from. Her family , great chef ty“

“I love the food here, and the customer services is great“

“Love this place so much. Their lunch specials are fantastic. The portions are generous. The prices are very reasonable. The owner is lovely. Their tofu dishes are flavorful, orange chicken is savory and delicious, the spicy garlic shrimp is my favorite. I think their egg rolls are better than House of Wah Sun. Would give more stars if possible.“

“The food is always solid, poIite staff, pretty fast outside of lunch/dinner hour. If you are looking for a recommendation, you can't go wrong with the basics: chicken fried rice, orange chicken, egg foo young, or wonton soup. Items I also recommend: Mongolian beef or salt and pepper shrimp.

I eat there so frequently I felt it's time I owed them the rating they deserve.“

“ALWAYS delicious food, courteous staff!! 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽“

“We ordered from here and it was an awesome find! They have a lot of typical looking dish that I have not tried but I will talk about what I did order. First I got the egg rolls and my wife and I both agreed they were very good. I do think they could use a bit more Chinese five spice or something to make them a bit more flavorful. The chicken with spicy garlic sauce was very delicious and tasted fresh and I loved all the veg they added. A solid Chinese dish. The one thing that is great about this place is they master the Chinese and Korean dishes. The Cha Chiang Mien (Korean jajangmyeon noodles) is a popular dish here and it’s no wonder. It is so decadent and amazing! Loved this so much!!! Also had something very unique and equally amazing and that was Spicy Noodle Platter with shrimp, squid, pork and veggies in a savory spicy sauce. This is really awesome! Probably one of my new favorite Asian dishes. I will try more of their food but this first experience was incredible! Yumm!!“

“I guess the years have changed Harmony. This was always my go to spot, but today something changed. The food took forever to arrive, the taste was no longer on point and the whole atmosphere just wasnt right. Im sorry, its gone backwards and the paper towels overflowed the men's room.“

“The guy that answered the phone and took my order could have sounded like he was interested or at least a little bit friendly. Other than that I do have to say they're sweet and sour chicken is probably the best around. They're fried rice is also delicious. It's been a while since I was there so when I go back I'll update on the next dish that I get. All in all it's definitely good food.“

“The food here is fantastic“

“Still surprised we got seated so quickly during that weekend crowd. The food was pretty good, and the atmosphere was lively. We weren't rushed at all, which was a nice surprise given how busy it was. I'd come back again for that kind of easygoing experience.“

“My man went in got us some fries ,vegetable rice and some super tacos the food was amazing he said the customer service was amazing as well , we ‘ll definitely be coming back !!! It’s hard to find good rice you don’t have to even add the soy sauce for it to be good!!thank you !“

“The best food around!
I am a FAN of chinese food, but no where around suburbs and chicago will you find such FRESH food! Veggies are perfectly done, meat is perfectly cooked! Sauce is amazing taste! I had their Happy Family Dish , Chicken fried rice and Khan Pau Chicken .
Please try this place!

Parking: Plenty of safe , free parking“

“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!“

“We have been getting delivery from #1 Chop Suey for over 10 years. Delivery is often very fast and the food arrives hot. Prices are affordable and portions are large. Some of our favorites: chicken wings, teriyaki beef stick, chicken egg foo young, General Tsao's chicken, & Singapore noodles. I often get a side of broccoli in white sauce so I'm getting some vegetables. I've not eaten there but the woman who takes the order is always pleasant as are the delivery people.“

“great people, food is great and the portions of the food is awesome“

“The food is good but make sure to check your bag I tipped and asked her did she put soy sauce in the bag and she said yes knowing she didn’t and I have a large shrimp fried rice for little ones and no sauce ugh I’m more mad at the lie if it was a accident then ok but for me ask and tip and not get what I asked for is a slap in the face!“

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

“Hoanh Long in North Park is straight fire. Hit it up for lunch – kicked things off with two shrimp spring rolls, then a massive beef pho and spicy lemongrass stir-fry with tofu. Broth legit rich, stir‑fry packed with flavor, and the portions were huge—perfect Chicago-style appetite. Chill café feels, service super friendly, and parking’s doable before 7pm. Can’t wait to go back!“

“This is a Chinese pick up place for food. Never been disappointed with an order the quality of the food is outstanding the service is always very friendly and I always get parking in the small parking lot it's easy to find on the corner Irving in California next to Horner Park in a 7-Eleven parking lot. It's my go-to place for not outrageously priced Chinese food. Recommended the specials.“

“The best Asian food on the Northside. A bit pricey but the qaulity is top tier. Already looking forward to next time“

“This restaurant offers flavorful and delicious Cantonese style food with reasonable prices. I have to say that this restaurant blows away many of the restaurants in the main Chinatown area. It's a bit farther away but it's well worth it. Plus you don't have to fight the congestive traffic and finding a parking space in Chinatown. All 5 dishes taste fresh and very delicious. We did instruct the kitchen not to put too much salt and the food is perfect. Highly recommend. This is a must try restaurant, period!“

“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!“

“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“

“Just drove miles in rush hour to try this, the owner was amazingly polite even gave me a gift for coming so far I ordered the combo fried rice with pineapples, I asked for low sodium and she delivered it wasn’t even greasy like most Chinese food it took 7mins to receive my order it was all worth the travel 🙌🏾 She offered us to use the website I will and I recommend this amazing food 🙏🏾💯🙌🏾💯“

“No complaints - food/service is excellent!“

“Wow unbelievable foods and i can't believe they able to accommodate. I order party trays for the holiday and knowing some items is not on the menu and Ethan and Serina willing to tell the chef to make it for me. Thank you and amazing foods and service here. Definitely will come back“
