50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Evanston

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“The food here is fantastic“

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

“One word: Eggrolls! Unlike any others in most Chinese restaurants-- the spices and the peanut butter are the secret. For those who remember Pekin House on Devon, very similar eggrolls. I am so happy to have found this take out restaurant and I look forward to trying other dishes on their menu.... but I will most certainly always order some eggrolls to go. Delicious!“

“We Love Hunan Spring!! Please re-open SOON!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Joy Yee is an absolute gem for Asian cuisine! The menu is extensive, with everything from bubble tea to delicious noodle dishes. I loved the vibrant flavors and generous portions—perfect for sharing. The service was quick, and the food came out fresh and hot. It’s always busy, but worth the wait. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for authentic, tasty Asian food!“

“My salt and pepper shrimp was excellent There was a large portion and I had speedy earlier than expected delivery. I give it 4.5 stars.“

“Five stars! Our group had lunch here recently and shared some dishes, served by friendly people. The Vegetable Momo was wonderful, light and fresh. I had Nepali Khasi with a flavorful sauce. Others had Chicken Chowmein, Lamb Vindaloo, and Jhol Momo. All were full of taste and the ingredients were fresh and perfectly prepared. Overall, it was a wonderful meal, greatly appreciated by everyone. We'll return!“

“I am not local, this is a regular go-to place for a friend, so when I visit with her, she wants to bring me. I had a Chinese Eggplant with chicken dish, flavorful and spicy. Also had some nigiri sushi, all very good. The Black Tobiko was plentiful and fresh. The Tamago and Inari, which are types of sushi that are deceptively simple seeming but really show a chef's knowledge and artistry, were excellent. I'm sure I will go again.“

“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.“

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

“This is definitely some of the better dim sum I’ve had. I’m not sure what it’s called but my favorite one is like shrimp amd egg and it’s a little toasted. And the custard tart is so good. The crust is so flaky“

“The food here is really good. They use high quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and great spice. The dried chilli hot sauce is made in house and is so good, I always ask to take some home. This is not your typical Americanized Chinese food. I will ksep coming back. They also have a full bar, which is great.“

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

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

“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!!!“

“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“

“Amazing food and fast!! My friends and I really enjoyed dinner at Sun Wah!!“

“Staff friendly. Food was very good. Will go again.“

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

“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!“

“The fried rice is good. However they stopped using bean sprouts a year ago. Fried rice isn’t official without it. Most pics online have it. Service was OK. Took 10 minutes which is fine for fresh food. Fried rice was excellent, beef and broccoli very good and Orange chicken was nothing to brag about.

I drove an hour to come try them out. It was good food. Maybe not an hour away good, but if I lived in the neighborhood I’d be a customer.“

“I have been looking for a good Chinese food for the almost 10 years I’ve lived in the city of Chicago and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to try this place. I even live in the neighborhood. The orange chicken and fried rice was delicious. This place is definitely going to be my Chinese food rotation from now on.“

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

“Excellent Kung pao chicken, and the sauce has a very nice consistency. Not too thick. Also, they’ll make it extra spicy if you ask. Good veggie egg rolls too. Highly recommend. It’s mostly takeout/delivery, so I don’t really have a comment about the interior.“

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

“10/10

Be mindful that they DO THEIR OWN delivery service but it is processed through GrubHub for online orders

Lunch and dinner specials are legit

Delivery is always on time or better than anticipated! Hot foods are delivered still HOT and cold drinks are still cold fridge temps 👌“

“Very great food and very fresh. They make it the way u would like it‼️‼️🤤🤤. I ordered a shrimp egg foo young, a combination rice, and 2 chicken egg rolls 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤 VERY moist and NOT greasy. I would recommend this restaurant for EVERYONE ‼️‼️‼️“

“Our favorite Chinese food restaurant in Chicago. Staff is friendly, food is delicious no matter what we get. Some of our favorites are the Wash Sun Chicken Wings, Noodle platter, Ma Po Tofu - but honestly anything is delicious from here.“

“Every neighborhood needs a place like this. It’s a shame the five star rating has become so overinflated because, this isn’t a 5 Star place, but I guess it does five stars at doing what it’s supposed to do. This is a very simple, very basic Chinese restaurant that serves really good food. It’s never going to win an award, but you don’t always want those places. Anyway, we had a great meal there, the service was a bit of a hoot. Our meals were delivered at least 10 minutes apart, but the waitstaff was so sweet and so friendly you just couldn’t be upset over it. Plus, it was just me and my wife so we both nibbled at the first meal before hers got there.

Anyway, if you’re looking for fine dining, this ain’t it but if you’re looking for a good meal, then this would be the place to go if you’re in the area.“

“This was some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a while!!! I ordered the crab rangoon, shrimp fried rice, and general tso’s chicken. Everything was fresh! The shrimp were big and clean, and the rice was nice and dark! IYKYK 😂. The crab rangoon were nice sizes. They give a great amount of everything— takeout boxes were overflowing in a good way. Everything was packaged nicely to prevent spills. The service was also great. The cashier was extremely kind and welcoming when I went to pick up my order. I will definitely be back! 🤎“

“I really enjoy the food such a good flavor I usually call my order in and have it delivered very nice on the phone and fast delivery this time I walked in an ordered the service was even better thank you keep up the good work you have delicious food“

“Finally!!! A GOOD CHINESE PLACE THAT USES REAL CHICKEN

IN SO HAPPY!!
I almost didn’t try them cause there cash only
Got the Kung pow chicken with fried rice and egg drop soup 2 hot sauces 15$

Everything is on POINT!!

I found my Chinese place 🙌 thank you guys!!
-a customer that likes quality“

“This spot has some great dishes, but the standout for me is their gun poong chicken. Enjoy a plate full of drumsticks that are crispy on the outside and soft inside, covered in a spicy sauce and a side of rice. Be sure to ask for extra napkins.“

“This was my first time in Glencoe to watch a show at Writer’s Theater, and I stopped by this place for a meal before the show. It seems to be the only Chinese restaurant in the entire town and also one of the few places both open at night and relatively affordable.

My friend and I ordered the Walnut Shrimp Special and Sauteed Green Beans. We were told it would take 30 minutes, so we sat inside to wait, and the food came out right on time and piping hot. You can’t dine in the restaurant though, as they don’t have a dining license.

9 times out of 10, Chinese takeout will always hit for me, and Shanghai Garden was no exception. The green beans were flavorful and well-sauteed. The walnut shrimp had a nice crispy texture, tangy taste, and also came with broccoli and crispy noodle pieces.

The portions are large for the price and they also included a large box of rice with our order. For just $15 per person, we had a good amount of leftovers. Overall great value, tasty food, generous portions, friendly service— I would love to return if I’m in the area again!

“i am a loyal costumer to the jin asian cafe. anytime i’m craving chicken fried rice this is my go to spot! the prices are amazing you get so much food for such a great price! it’s always consistent in quality, it’s always great food time and time again! if you need to satisfy your Chinese takeout craving go here!“

“Super flavorful, crispy tofu with large portions. Probably the best price point in the area. I’m obsessed with their kung pao—it’s STACKED with zucchini, onion, and cabbage (unlike a lot of other places, which is just a bunch of dried chilis).“

“I love this spot. Amazing hot & sour soup, egg drop has good strong flavor, the orange chicken they serve is nice and has a nice spice to it. The shrimp fried rice has very nice size shrimp. The chicken friend rice has a ton of chicken in it too. I really enjoy the fried wings (disconnected) as well, very delicious. I love the gravy from the shrimp with lobster sauce, good amount for shrimp for reasonable price. Always get the house sweet and sour chicken. It's superb. I will keep coming back to shop, lovely service fresh food“

“I grew up eating at Hunan Spring almost 15 years ago, so I stopped by hoping to relive an old memory with a friend after coming from Bensenville. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The lady who works there was nice, but the man was very rude. He gave me the wrong items, and when I called, he hung up on me. That kind of customer service is unacceptable. Be careful with your order and double-check it. I don’t usually write reviews, but this was a horrible experience especially compared to the good memories I had here years ago.all because I wanted so order lunch specials.?“

“Love the ambiance inside. Tiki beef is great, just wish it had more glaze on it, but otherwise I love beef on a stick. The egg rolls weren't the best i ever had, but id still eat them again, and the crab rangoon wasnt sweet enough, too much cream cheese, but we'd come back for more! Lovely lady at the front desk, she gave us free almond cookies and i love those things!“

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

“Don’t sleep on this spot — seriously. This Chinese restaurant is a whole experience. The food? Always hot, fresh, and ridiculously flavorful. The sauces are unforgettable, the portions are generous, and the crab rangoons? So good we don’t even pretend to share — everyone orders their own. The staff is quick, kind, and on point every time. We’re here 4–5 times a month, and it never misses. Delicious, dependable, and reasonably priced — it’s easily in our top five.“

“The best restaurant in uptown 👍👍“

“A family run restaurant with great food and a friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The appetizer are start to every meal. A selection of appetizer and splitting a main course is often enough for two.

Dietary restrictions: The food is made to order and meets the personal needs.“

“I went a while back with my family, the portions are extremely large, they allow BYOB, and they are extremely good with service. The orange chicken is actually good orange chicken unlike most, and the food is over all really delicious. I also enjoy the Vietnamese iced coffee a lot.“

““Palace Cantonese is a hidden gem that deserves all the hype.”

The Beef Egg Fu Young? Absolute perfection — fluffy, rich, and full of flavor in every bite. The Spicy Beef Fried Rice? Simply amazing… the kind of dish that keeps you coming back over and over. And don’t even get me started on the Veggie Egg Rolls — golden, crispy, and packed with fresh flavor.

Every plate feels like comfort food done right, with that authentic Cantonese taste that hits both tradition and satisfaction. The portions are generous, the flavors bold, and the service makes you feel at home.

This isn’t just dinner — it’s a food experience worth sharing.

“SOOOOO GOOD! I had this restaurant for the first time today and it was amazing. We had it delivered and it was steaming hot when it was delivered and delivery was super quick and efficient. I am definitely going to be recommending this place to other people. The orange chicken is amazing!“

“We ABSOLUTELY LOVEEE coming for lunch here after our endocrinologist visits at Luries 😋 Everything is always made fresh so delicious
Customer service AMAZINGG
Great portions also! 👌
Must try Crab Rangoons🔥“

“I really like their sesame chicken! They use dark meat, which I prefer over white meat, and the flavor is just chef’s kiss. It’s very subjective, but their chicken is one of the tops for me! Oh, and they give you a lot! Also more affordable than others.“

“The take out portions are massive. Everything I’ve ever ordered has been excellent. Always cooked perfectly, always served very hot! Service is quick, efficient, and polite. I’ve never stayed to eat in. Lo’s gets my highest recommendation“
