50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Glencoe

“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!

“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.“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“Taco Verde is hands down one of our favorite spots for amazing halal tacos! The quality and flavor are consistently outstanding. We absolutely love their Birria Tacos — perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with rich, authentic flavor.

Their Birria Pizza Tacos are a must-try as well. Such a creative twist, loaded with flavor and cooked to perfection. Every bite is satisfying.

What really makes the experience even better is their hospitality. The staff is incredibly welcoming and always happy to provide extra consume upon request without hesitation. Great service, incredible taste, and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommend Taco Verde!“

“Everything about this place has been great from start to finish. Ordering is easy, delivery is always on time, and the drivers are friendly and professional. The food consistently shows up hot, fresh, and clearly made with care.

We ordered the Kung Pao chicken (which is actually spicy), the Mongolian beef — which is phenomenal — and the egg rolls and fried rice, both of which are beyond fabulous. The flavors are spot-on, portions are generous, and the quality is way better than you’d expect from a place that somehow still flies under the radar.

It’s rare to find a restaurant where the entire experience is this solid. Highly recommend giving them a try.“

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

IN SO HAPPY!!

Everything is on POINT!!

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

“We ordered the shrimp fried rice, orange chicken, and honey shrimp. The fried rice was really good — flavorful with a generous amount of shrimp. The orange chicken was excellent, almost perfect — crispy, saucy, and packed with flavor. The honey shrimp had good flavor too, but the texture was way too hard, likely from being over-battered or double-fried.

Overall, it’s a solid spot for Chinese takeout — good portions, tasty food, and friendly service. Definitely a place I’ll keep in my back pocket for when we’re craving takeout again!“

“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.“

“Best and I mean BEST egg rolls in the city.
I've never had better orange chicken, everyone ive brought here agrees. Every dish ive ever had has been out of this world. The staff are amazing ...portions and prices are unbeatable. I almost forgot the handmade potstickers!!! Truly Delicious.
Once you have En Lai , they will become your GO-TO Chinese place.“

“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“

“The food here is fantastic“

“We were so disappointed today as we've been coming here for years and the food has always been excellent. Today we ordered the Szechuan shrimp and chicken and broccoli lunches. The chicken felt slimy and didn't taste good just like the vegetables. The shrimp lunch was not good either. Both lunches had a weird taste which we believe was due to freezing and reheating which explains why the rice wasn't really good either. The food has always been hot when we get it but today it was just warm. We are unable to finish these lunches. We're hoping that today was just a bad day.“

“First time and we will definitely be back! Everything was delicious. Starting veggie spring rolls. 2nd pan fried pork pot stickers. Small pork fried rice, and lastly Beef and pea pods. All cooked perfectly. Had enough food for 2 dinners for both of us! Reasonably priced too.“

“Our order was ready 10 minutes early so we were glad we came early. There was one table of diners in a relatively nondescript dining room but lots of carry out orders. Our egg rolls were tasty but without the traditional Chinese fried outside. These were pretty greasy but had more meat than vegetables which was a pleasant surprise. They came only with a Chile sweet sauce and it added to the taste. Our potstickers were just ok and had a slightly gooey exterior. \nOur main courses included Mongolian beef which was much higher quality beef than most places offer. Nice flavor and sauce. Our noodle dish with chicken was also flavorful as were the moo shu chicken ingredients. \nPrices were on the high side but the portions were generous and the quality deserved it. The value was great and we would return.“

“BEST CHINESE FOOD IN ILLINOIS“

“Y’all gotta try this place there food is soo good everything on there menu is good I’ve been gone here for 5 years and the customer service has been amazing and the food aswell if you like Chinese food this is the place not to expensive everything is for a great price !!“

“We were in our way to the airport and decided to get dinner. The service was fast, the person in the front (owner?) was so friendly and personable. The restaurant is really spacious and lovely. The biggest treat was finally eating our meal and it was the best Chinese food I’ve had. So delicious! The portions are very generous and they did not skimp on the shrimp. I highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“What a great experiences! The food was amazing! The family enjoyed themselves in the beautiful restaurant and wonderful staffs! Definitely reminded my daughters of grandma's cooking! 🫰“

“It’s a great go-to place where I often pick up on Tuesday nights. The food is ready 10 to 15 minutes after I order it over the phone. The lady who takes the order and gives me the food to-go is unfailingly pleasant and always smiles. We love their Mongolian beef, and enjoy their egg rolls, hot & sour soup and wonton soup. Never a bad meal. All delicious with generous portions and a fair price.“

“I LOVE Little Lans. I’m so happy to be in the area, I won’t go anywhere else for Chinese food or sushi! I highly recommend checking out their new sushi menu. I feel pretty lucky to know about this place, I’ve been a huge fan since my first visit in 1996.“

“Never have gotten anything bad here. today got potstickers and house lomein“

“It’s extremely difficult to find genuinely good, quality Chinese food in Chicago; luckily my boyfriend and I discovered this place back in June after living in RP for five years. The people who work here are always pleasant when we come in, and delivery never takes long, so our food arrives fresh! :)“

“Our Family has been going to Lucky Wok for years. Cannot say enough about how fast the team is to get you what you need and address any issues you may have with your order. So glad they are so close and so diligent with their service. Can't say I've seen this level of service since I used to go to old Orange Garden on Irving 25 years ago. Congrats on the having an amazing team.“

“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!“

“My favorite Chinese take out spot in all of Highland Park (and it’s conveniently located a walk away for me)! The General Tso's chicken dinner is my go-to menu item (it even comes with a roll). The chicken Pad Thai is pretty solid too.“

“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!“

“Really reasonable must try“

“The food here is sensational. I ordered the orange chicken and it was around $8. That is an incredible price. My mouth was watering before I had my first bite. The food was so good I had to edge and I could barely control my urges. I 100% recommend and I will be coming back:)“

“This is the hole in the wall place with very good food.
One of the problems here is the women taking orders, they are very rude. I wanted the walnut shrimp and she told me that it takes too long to make and I shouldn’t order that dish because she was so busy.
Another time my friend asked her for two cups of water and the woman rolled her eyes and walked away then sent the other rude woman over to gives us the cups of water.
This restaurant is very busy, they have so many phone orders. The dinning are has 3-4 tables and it’s very dirty in there.“

“WOW! We loved take-out from ChinaTown Restaurant in Morton Grove. We tried:-lechón kawa li: crispy, delicious, addictive-scallion pancake: delicious, great to dip in a sauce-beef/chinese broccoli chow fun: delicious combo of crunchy broccoli with tender beef. Delicious wide noodles.-egg rolls: good! but compared to other dishes, not my favorite.A great value-we'll likely get five servings out of this. It's not a fancy place, but I liked to see, when we picked up our food, how the team at the restaurant worked together.Check them out!“

“I’ve ordered take out for a while but finally dined in. I love the complimentary spicy cabbage appetizer. I recommend the dry chili chicken and the hot wok style beef.“

“We have been going to Chinatown Kitchen since their kids were little and now they are in college. The food has always been fresh and delicious. Takeout area always clean and you can see an area of kitchen same way. We have certain preferences that we do not want put into the food and we are very happy the results and the tastes. Have on occasion, friends, tried other places, but always went back to Chinatown Kitchen. Like a good marriage why go somewhere else if you are happy there?!!!!!“

“Our little family has been regulars here, and honestly, this place never misses. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and it’s always one of those spots we’re genuinely excited to come back to.

Our top three favorites are the popcorn chicken cupbob, the beef brisket jjamppong, and the beef brisket jajangmyeon. The popcorn chicken cupbob is a must-try—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly paired with rice and japchae. The beef brisket dishes are rich, comforting, and packed with bold flavor, and the portions are big enough that sharing is easy (and encouraged). One bowl is more than enough for two people.

The spice level of the jjamppong is just right—not too spicy, just the kind that warms you up and makes winter feel a little more bearable. Add fast, friendly service, and you’ve got a winning combo.

If you’re already at H Mart or hunting for a food court gem with big flavors and even bigger portions, this spot is definitely worth a stop—and probably a repeat visit.“

“Every meal at Great Chicago is a great meal!“

“This Location Gets a 10/10 from me, This is Hands Down the best location to come and get your food from! The staff is super friendly & professional, it is convenient how you can order online for pick up, and they treat they're employees really well, Overall this is a wonderful business and I would recommend stopping by if your in the area too grab yourself some of the best Chinese food out there!“

“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.“

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

“Food quality is amazing. Prices are inflated but the great quality makes up for it. Super sweet woman taking our order. A handful of unique and diverse menu items including a honeydew lemonade which was delicious and a cinnamon roll shake. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“The entree was ok. Not anything special.
The fried pot stickers are commercial and in my opinion, overpriced as is Chinese food in general nowadays.
The crab ragoon was good but small.
The chicken fried rice is nice.
Won ton soup, nothing special.“

“This place is the best in the area! The beef is tender, the sweet and sour chicken isn't dried out, their salt and pepper shrimp is phenomenal! They have Taiwanese mai fun that are one of the best I've tried! Their egg foo young is savory and full of veggies! Beef chow fun is delicious! I can go on and on! I highly recommend ordering from here! The owner is super friendly too!“

“good food, bad website. can't see pics of dishes to make online order.“

“I want to thank Tony for bringing the finest and most delicious Szechuan cuisine to the North Shore. I live downtown and have visited his restaurants in Chinatown and Michigan Ave. The food is exception each and every time I go to either location. When the "coming soon" sign popped up in Highland Park, I could not have been more thrilled, considering the food at our local chinese restaurants refuse to raise the bar on their food. There is no better Szechuan restaurant in the Chicago area or beyond. The food, the staff, and the service are all exceptional and executed with perfection and passion. This has been the most anticipated opening on the northshore for a reason. Lao is simply unbeatable. I love it love it LOVE IT!!!!!“

“This place is great, I go here a lot and very often enjoy my food. The restaurant owner is very kind and already knows that it’s me on the phone and always welcome me when I come in. Sometimes the food comes out tasting a little weird but it’s still pretty enjoyable. Inside you can tell that you will be getting authentic Chinese food, and every day the owner freshly what looks like green beans. In conclusion this place is great I recommend!“

“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!“

“Best Indo Chinese tasted so far in Chicago area. Love the food very much“

“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.“

“Craved crab rangoons, so found the closest spot. I purchased an order of crab rangoons (6), a large wonton soup, and a regular bubble tea.
This place actually surprised me with how much I loved it all! The crab rangoon filling is different than I've had before, it was so creamy and they were excellently filled. The bubble tea was delicious and a large size.
The wonton soup was the shining star that prompted me to write a review. I love this soup and always have to prepare myself for the oily feeling in my face. Not only did this soup not leave me feeling salted up, it was so tasty and fresh! The wontons were delicious and the green onion on top was crunchy.
I'll be coming back for more soup, it's worth the drive for me!“

“This is not my first rodeo at PF Changs and I love their food! The food was very good and the service was outstanding. We celebrated my son's birthday and they were very on top of that! The restaurant was clean and although a little dim, I believe that added to the ambience. I also loved the reading lights they provided for reading the menus. I will definitely be returning! Thank you PF Chang's!!“

“The athmosphere is clean, organized, quiet, fine dining & excellent food“
