“The food here is fantastic“

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

“Exceptionally fine and delicious cuisine. Friendly and hospitable service and staff. There was a problem with my order and they went out of their way to make it right. Having tasted Chinese menus around the world, Hunan Springs is # 1.! Recommend placing orders by telephone.“

“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.“

“went last night with my son. very rushed. I ordered a meal with spring rolls as an appetizer. they came with my meal, not before. my son ordered a chicken and rice meal, took a bitr and hated it. they refused to take it off my bill. 88$ for a meal for my sonnamd I and he didn't eat his meal. didn't offer another meal or anything. other restaurants would have made it right. theives. my left overs leaked through my bag going home. nor happy. we also felt obligated to tip even though server was rude and dint know about the 20% charge that's automatically charged“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best restaurant in uptown 👍👍“

“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.“

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

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

“This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. The food was spectacular, it wasnt super greasy, but was greasy enough to satisfy my body's needs.
The hospitality? There is literally no way to improve. Jimmy, the owner, was funny, kind, and made this dining experience, an experience ill never forget. I wish I could say more, but honestly you have to experience it for yourself.

(OH, and i ordered the orange chicken, crab rangoons, szechuan beef, and various dumplings, and man. They were to die for. (Extra on the orange chicken))

Thanks Lan's China!!!“

“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“

“Share details of your own experience at this place.
Fine google whatever i'll do that
First time trying hot pot, reminds me of one kbbq I went in that you have to cook your own food
On the bright side, there was also a wide selection of pre-cooked food available such as rice, fruit, veggies, delectable little square cake thingies, although I did not recognize about 80% of what was in that area which was scary because I am easily frightened

• • • (that right there is called a dinkus)

The meat and broth was pretty alright, but it didn't stand out much. uhhh hang on lemme think of other stuff about this place hmmmmmmmm ok my group was large and we got our own room which was nice since interacting with strangers is scary because I am easily frightened
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm there are vegetarian broth options available which is good if you are a vegetarian because the food is vegetarian meaning there is no meat therefore making said food vegetarian“

“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“

“OK, listen here, Don’t let the outside fool you. From the street, this place looks rough, the storefront could definitely use a good power wash, and the sidewalk isn’t the most inviting. But once you step inside, you’ll realize appearances can be deceiving.

This is one of those true hole-in-the-wall gems serving some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The orange chicken is absolutely incredible, and the spicy chicken fried rice is insanely good both are MUST orders.

If you’re willing to look past the exterior, you’ll be rewarded with an amazing meal that’s absolutely worth it. I genuinely hope they freshen up the outside because the food deserves an entrance that matches how great it is. Don’t judge this place by its curb appeal you’d be missing out on one of the best Chinese meals around.“

“Loved the food here! I went here with friends and family for the first time, very memorable! We went as a larger group of around 12 people. At first the staff told us that we would have to wait 30 minutes, but instead they decided to push a few tables together—so we could sit. It was very kind and thoughtful of them!! I absolutely loved the food, the sanji and dumplings being my absolute favorite! My least favorite dish was the chili pepper chicken, it tasted acidic and me and my friends ate the rice rather the chicken. Its personal preference though, so you might like it! The atmosphere was very nice and personally very cute in numerous ways!“

“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.“

“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 have ordered food here twice and it is SO good! I have gotten beef & broccoli, kung pao chicken, egg rolls, fried rice, and beef chow fun. The staff is kind and the food is made quickly. This is my go-to spot now! Thank you Chop Suey Huang 😊“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“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 always enjoy dining at Ping Pong. The food is always amazing and the staff is very attentive. They also have a nice wine selection and creative cocktails.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food is very fresh and 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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“After a nice day at Lincoln Park Zoo my son told me about this restaurant. I love Chinese food and unfortunately there are not many good choices for me where I live. I ordered the Mongolian beef which was excellent. My son ordered a special, Japanese Curry chicken which the chef made special adding a few secret ingredients lol. My son said it was so good and had great flavor ,and lastly we ordered Sweet and Sour chicken along with egg rolls. Overall everything was prepared in generous portions and reasonably priced. We highly recommend stopping in and having your favorite dish. We did not eat there but next time we will. Tha staff was super friendly and explained all the specials.“

“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.“

“I went here for my partners birthday today and the meal we had was AMAZING! We moved to the neighborhood recently and are so excited to have such amazing and quality food. Everything seems to be portioned generously for an individual, but we ordered a few things and shared family style.
The handpulled noodles for the Lagman are some of the best noodles Ive ever had! The flavor of the dish was so wonderful and fresh. We also ordered the cold bean jelly salad, all of us had never had bean jelly before and absolutely loved it! The sauce that is over the bean jelly is very tasty and savory and goes so well with the chili crisp (paste?) that is on the table as well. Definitely a must try and my whole household is already talking about what we'll try next time!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“We thoroughly enjoyed our food after finding this restaurant. We were originally going to a place down the street but didn't want to wait 45 minutes. Excellent quality and taste of food. The best Beef with Broccoli and Orange Chicken.
Very friendly staff. Be aware they only have a few tables, primarily take out.“

“This place isn't just any Chinese restaurant! I got the beef ho fun and it was the most tender and soft beef I've ever had in any chinese restaurant. Also the owner is so nice!

Edit: Been here 4 more times. They never miss. Always bangers“

“Quiet hole in the wall spot with some of the best food in the area. The owner is kind and works really hard to make quality food. A lot of Chinese American restaurants can have a sort of mass produced feel and use the same suppliers but you can tell a lot of love and pride goes into the food here.“

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

“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.“

“Order the Thai Red Curry off the takeout menu... it is our favorite dish. In fact, the staff at Jin Asian knows our order when we walk in the door. I get the chicken, my fiance gets the beef, and we have them add mushrooms to both. That, plus the Crab Rangoon with apricot-based sauce, makes one of my favorite meals in the city. The restaurant is never crowded, and the service is very friendly.“
