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!! 💕💕💕💕“

“We first tried jianbing in Shanghai, and it was a magical experience to get it made right in front of us in a big, round griddle! And they were soooo cheap, like $2 USD. This place is a wonderful version that doesn't have the same magic, but the flavors are great, and there are many versions to match your cravings. The portion is big and satisfying for lunch or dinner. Friendly staff and nice, comfy clean eat in space.“

“We met friends at Lao Peng You for our first visit. They are regulars and we were able to sit outside. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. I ordered the Lovebirds drink which is iced milk tea and Metric cold brew. I really enjoyed it. My husband had the orange wine, another had the Apex Predator and another had a drink brewed for the restaurant.
We started with the dumplings with pork and chive and the Dan Dan noodles. Two of us don't do spicy, so they brought the chili spice on the side. All the taste was amazing. As we love lamb, we ordered the Xi'an Bing which is lamb and cumin bread. The Cong You Bing bread is with green onion and sesame. When they brought these two breads, they also brought scissors to cut it. There was large lovely chunks of lamb.

We will definitely be back. So sorry I forgot to take photos.“

“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.“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“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!!!“

“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:)“

“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!“

“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.

“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!“

“I ordered from Rose's for the 1st time today. Absolutely delicious food! My ordered was delivered quickly and was piping hot I highly recommend Rose's 🌹“

“This place is saving my wallet with these leftovers and I honestly can't believe how big the portions are, especially in this part of Chicago.
Not only that, I enjoyed all of their dishes so far. Definitely recommend and very thankful!!“

“This classic spot has been amazing since we were KIDS! I can’t believe I never dropped my 5 stars. If you’re an LT alum IYKYK this place raised us. After many years they still have the absolute best chicken fried rice! Lunch specials are also top notch. Family owned and operated- Never change!“

“I give this location a 5/5

I have been eating here since before my son was born. He is 12 now we both enjoy this location for dinner, and or just the lunch specials during work hours.
My favorite is always the kung bow chicken, with potstickers.“

“I’ve tried many Chinese food options in Chicago, but this one will leave you thoroughly satisfied!
The food is delicious—packed with flavor. It’s definitely THE BEST CHOICE. The prices are unbeatable and you have so many healthy options!
From now on, I won’t go anywhere else. If you order online your food is very well packed and if you want to visit the place it’s a lovely spot for a family meal or to take a guest, and the service is excellent!
5 stars aren't enough. I will give a 6th!“

“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 🙏🏾💯🙌🏾💯“

“I rarely leave reviews, but this place is amazing. The employees are nice, and the food is always hot, fresh, and fast. They have the best crab rangoons! The Mongolian beef, combination lo mein, fried rice, and orange chicken are all my favorites. They even have vegetarian options on the menu. I always recommend this place to people.“

“Let me start by saying that this place is one of a kind! I love trying out their special for the first time! It did not disappoint at all!

I ordered sesame chicken special for pick-up. I came in and waited patiently till my ordered arrived, so i looked around and I was intrigued by that fish tank with huge fish. It wasn't too crazy busy when I came in, but otherwise I enjoyed my first visit inside. The lunch special only costed me $8 with crab lagoon & fortune cookie! Best affordable deal ever!

The food was just amazing and I see why it took long for it to be made. They put lot of love and care with the big portions! Sesame chicken was flavorful and juicy, chicken fried rice and simply tasty, and crab ragoon was honestly really good despite trying it the first time.

I gotta say, they earned my respect and I sure will have to order their lunch special again! P.s their special run from 11am-3:30p.m Tuesday- Saturday! Please support these hardworking people ❤✨“

“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.“

“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.“

“Genuinely THE best Chinese food I've found in Chicago! Some of the best egg rolls and crab rangoons I've had in my life! Their beef is very good, has a very good quality and flavor. Chicken is good but not my favorite. Just doesn't compare to the rest of the goodness they have. Cash only. I don't know her name but the lady who works the counter is the sweetest and I really wanted to give her a shoutout!!“

“Fantastic neighborhood gem! My friend and I were craving classic Chinese takeout, and Orange Garden was perfect. Crab Rangoons were delicious, as were the chicken dishes. The service was so friendly, with the server making sure our water glasses stayed full and that we had takeout boxes to pack up leftovers. Perfect place for groups, as there are plenty of comfy booths.“

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

“The best roast duck in US !!! It is a tie compare to the best roast duck in China!!!
All fat under duck skin is melting out and leave crisp skin and attractive aroma. Duck meat is tender and delicious, and the black sauces is soulmate for the duck!!!
All dish is good , even the side pickles is done very right!
Than Bistro is clean and new, air is fresh , environment is relax and cozy,
A hidden gem in this area.
As a good home chef, I am very picky on food, i donot write review until some dish real surprise me. This time, is the duck.
Sorry for the half eating dish , I am not prepared for write a review. 幸福来的太突然，哈“

“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 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!“

“I first went to this place after seeing an instagram review of it and once I realized it was close by, the rest is history. The first time we went it was very busy and we had a bit of a wait, but we got to speak with the owner who said theyve had the same staff for the last 25 years (if im remembering correctly) and that they had been having alot of business recently, so if you go you better be patient and nice to them!! She was so sweet and all of the staff was kind and helpful. The jajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork were sooooo good, along with the crab rangoon and spicy seafood noodle soup. We have since come here very consistently for take out and it is ALWAYS delicious, quality, and has extremely generous portions. They have great seating for groups. This place has my loyalty ❤“

“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!! 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽“

“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 !“

“I came here specifically for the Orange Chicken, and it did not disappoint at all. The sauce is perfectly balanced—not too sweet, not too sour—and the chicken stays crispy even after being coated. Portion size is generous, and the staff is very welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back again.“

“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.“

“The food here is fantastic“

“okay I am looking at the other reviews and the only thing that is a lie is large portions! there is no large portion! this is probably the smallest lunch special that cost close to $15 that I've ever had at any Chinese restaurant ever. you can go to a buffet and get all you can eat for $15. definitely a sample plate or portion for a child. I ordered to go and looked inside the container and was like WOW! NO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. THE REVIEWS ARE LIES SMH however the food was good and the Cashier was a very pleasant young lady very pleasant💐“

“I love your Chinese food, it’s very good and I like your shrimp fried rice and chicken fried rice too, I always order the large portions of your order, very good food, and your very nice and polite to people, so I wanted to give you a good thank you! For everything that you have done for me and everyone else.“

“Food was excellent, service can use a little bit of work. I asked for extra limes they seemed to intentionally ignore the first request and then upon reminder seemed a bit annoyed. It’s just limes guys overall the food was great would revisit but if I revisit again and service is the same would not go back even though the food was excellent.“

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

“I believed this is my second time coming to this restaurant. I just forgot to leave a review last time. This is a convenient place which close to my Dr's. Office. I love the place coz it's not that busy in comparison to H Mart and other Asian Grocery store that has a food court. Or perhaps today is day after Labor Day, that's why its quite. Plus ASSI got tons of Asian Ready hot/cold foods to go and you can eat at their food court. 🥰, Love the Spicy Noodles i ordered its just the right spice though I ordered extremely hot and spicy stuff. But all is good 😊“

“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.“

“I come here pretty often since it's literally right across from me, and I have to say this place never disappoints! I always get the shrimp fried rice and General Tso's chicken, both extra spicy, and they always hit the spot.
The service is super quick—they do not play around! Whether I'm ordering in person or calling ahead, they get the food out fast and make the whole process easy.
It's definitely become my go-to spot when I'm craving Chinese food. Great food, convenient location, and speedy service. I'll keep coming back!“

“Best kosher sushi in Chicago.“

“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“

“I’ve moved from Chicago to Melrose Park, and it’s been hard trying to find a good Chinese place that has good spice, not sweet spice. Best place in the area to get spicy fried rice, lady who takes the order is really nice and they get the order done fast.“
