25 Best Chinese Restaurants near Gurnee

“I eat Panda all the time and this is by far the best plate I’ve ever had in my life. Whoever cooked the Beijing Beef, Fried Rice, and Chow Mein when I ordered it at 5:49PM today is an absolute master at their craft. Service from the staff was also great. My only regret about the experience is not thanking the Chef. Definitely coming back.“

“This is a takeout-only spot, as all the tables and chairs have been removed. That said, I really enjoyed the food. You can tell it was prepared with care, and the quality exceeded my expectations, especially given some of the mixed reviews. The ingredients were fresh, and the food was served piping hot, which made for a great meal.“

“Very fresh...Very delicious....great service!!!“

“Wonderful place, the food is amazing! The staff is always so friendly!“

“Some of the best Chinese food I have had. I love some spice and they did not disappoint!“

“We love Chopstix. Their vegetables are always fresh and their sesame chicken is amazing.“

“Didn’t get food from the Golden Kitchen in a fairly long time. Today I was impressed by the one woman show on display, cooking, packing the food, taking orders, and being as gracious as always. The food is good and the place exemplifies the family business model. I’ll go back more often to ensure that places like this stay in business.“

“We order from here from time to time. We like the consistency and good taste. My family was out and I was on my own recovering from a surgery and felt like treating myself so I figured “ let’s get a bit fancy and order PF Chang”. What a huge mistake that was. The beef with Broccoli had les than 2 oz of beef for $30. I have included a comparison between Hunan Palace’s beef with vegetables vs what I received from PF. Hunan Palace blows PF away! Additional I have had very good luck requesting modifications, I like extra spicy and extra sauce, Human honored my request while PF did not. I think the pics tell all“

“I’m from the city and haven’t found a Chinese spot in the suburbs until now. The moment I walked in the door I was greeted by a big smile from the woman preparing my carry out order. The pork fried rice was great! It was well seasoned and had a generous amount of pork in it. The portions were exactly what you expect for the price you pay. Very satisfied.“

“This place is local fan favorite. This place has been here for years. Other come and go but China Garden stays and their food speaks for it. Delicious authentic food.
It’s part of the community especially being downtown. This place rocks and is amazing.“

“Been coming here for years, but the last few times have really been outstanding. My most recent order was the Mongolian beef — very flavorful, and the vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly. The sweet and sour shrimp were huge and crunchy, along with the egg roll I ordered. If you haven’t ordered from this place in a while, I’d suggest giving it another try. And if you’re looking for good Chinese food in the area, you can’t go wrong here.“

“Panda Chinese Restaurant is hands down the best Chinese food in the area. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. You can tell they take real pride in the quality of their ingredients and preparation.

The crab rangoons are absolutely phenomenal. Honestly the best I’ve ever had. They are perfectly crispy on the outside with a creamy, flavorful filling that’s just amazing. I could eat a whole order of them by myself.

Every dish we tried was delicious, hot, and full of flavor. It’s rare to find a place where everything on the table impresses you, but Panda absolutely delivers.

If you’re looking for fresh, delicious Chinese food and great portions, this is the place to go. Easily my favorite Chinese restaurant around. Highly recommend!“

“I have been going here for 33 years.....it is still the best place I have found for carry out within 20 miles.“

“I have gotten food from here many times. It’s always great. The owner is so nice and really cares about providing his customers great food. But yesterday I got the won ton soup for the first time, and I can honestly say, it is the BEST wonton soup I have ever had.“

“Been going here for since I've lived in zion. Hands down the best Chinese food in town, and there's not a close 2nd. They are even nice enough to cater to my wife's allergies so she can also enjoy their food. Sne normally can't have takeout from any Chinese spot but she absolutely can from here. Will always give them my business based on that fact alone.“

“This is some of the best Chinese food I’ve had. From eggrolls to fried rice, the quality is great! Tastes fresh, portions are reasonable and how long it takes to receive your order is prompt. I can’t even take a picture of the food because I ate it all, it smelled so good. If you want fast, fresh and savory food, def come here! You barely need soy sauce and the food is so warm, very comforting. Thankful for their speedy service and active listening“

“I drove from Racine, Wisconsin, to check out this restaurant, and I can say it was worth the drive. They have the best Chinese food I've tasted in a long time. And th
e price is very reasonable. My new favorite Chinese restaurant 😋.“

“The definition of reliable. The food is consistently good with each visit. In particular, the Singapore noodles, general Tso’s chicken, fried rice, and crab rangoons I came back to very frequently. The value on the dinner special makes Dragon Star a weekly routine for me.

Over many, many visits, Dragon Star has served me well and feels like a cornerstone of the Mundelein community. The gentleman who runs the register seems genuinely happy to greet me, and always treats visitors with utmost hospitality.

Thank you Dragon Star for your hard work and the affordable flavors you provide to Mundelein. Can’t recommend enough.“

“The food is delicious!“

“The restaurant has a new owner and improved menu, definitely worth checking out. Previous reviews were meant for the previous owner, this place deserves a second chance if you had a bad experience with them before. We had beef broccoli and taste is decent and flavorful. We enjoyed it.“

“Great food. will definitely recommend“

“Been looking for a new Chinese takeout joint and decided to try this place since the start of 2026. Mainly for weekend lunches/dinners

my go to are Mongolian chicken, extra spicy combo Singapore noodles, and shrimp kow. Good amount of protein and not overly salty like other places.“

“They didn’t have the meats I wanted but were adamant that it was going to be only a couple minutes. They were very friendly when talking to us so we stayed and waited. For some reason these were the two best tasting meats I’ve had at panda. We go a lot, so this is saying a lot. Might just have been the freshness from coming right off the kitchen, but it was fantastic.“

“Saturday night was super slow when we walked in. Sat us, ordered food, and had everything in less than 20min!

Food was awesome. We usually go to the Yu's in Schaumburg and was happy that this one holds up. (Not as good as the other location, but still really good).

Overall amazing!“
