“I sat in and got the birria tacos, and they were SO good. The horchata, churros, rice, and beans were delicious and tasted authentic too. I’m extremely picky when it comes to Mexican food, so I don’t say this lightly, but everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. The owner was also incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel really warm and comforting. You can really tell they care about the food and the people who come in.

Definitely recommend giving Taco Verde a try if you’re in Glenview. 10/10! ❤“

“Very friendly atmosphere on top of their great food.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food is delicious. Excellent service.“

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

“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!!!!!“

“Every time we order, food is hot, tasty, very fresh.

The owning family iz very nice, very dedicated to producing a a nice product

One can eat in. But it’s principally a carry out

Try it. You’ll like the experience“

“This place is one of the best restaurants I've been to in the northern suburbs, it's hard to find good Sichuan style Chinese food but this place has it. I got the twice cooked chili fish was my favorite dish, the Mongolian beef had thick cuts of tender beef and seafood garlic fried rice was full of shrimp scallops mussels and fish. The menu has so much to choose from, I look forward to visiting again“

“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.“

“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“

“BEST CHINESE FOOD IN ILLINOIS“

“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.“

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

“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“

“If you’re looking for a truly delicious, mind-blowing meal you have to try House of Szechwan! I’ve been looking all over for a place with good Chinese hand pulled noodles and this is the place for sure. The noodles had the perfect texture with an amazing flavor profile. The portions were so generous as well! A hidden gem that deserves much more appreciation 🙂‍↕“

“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.“

“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“

“This was our first time ordering and it didn't disappointed. We will be back for more.“

“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?!!!!!“

“Disclaimer— I’m on a hunt for the best peanut butter egg roll in Chicago— the direct descendent of Pekin House..! Thus, my review pertains to their egg roll alone.

The initial ordering phase put me off. They have a nice fancy entrance with 3 booths on the left and a register in the front. They are carry out only and don’t allow eat-in. I really had to beg to get the opportunity to eat there in an empty booth. 4:30pm. I was the only customer. A bit awkward. Egg roll delivered in a bag. Sauces in plastic. Red gooey stuff for the sweet and sour. Generic impotent mustard. After asking I was given a to-go plastic bin to eat on and a plastic fork.

The egg roll was not terrible—but also not great. I was immediately put off by both the grill marks on it as if it was put into a panini machine to warm it up rather than a deep fryer, and some sort of pickled taste… but I finished it. Definitely peanut butter and the right amount. Very little pork or shrimp. The inner mixture was too mushy for my taste! That’s what it is bothering me. I prefer to see cabbage, shrimp, bbq pork, greens. Here it was so blended that it just looked like cookie dough. There’s not much in Highland Park give it a try.“

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

“It had been a while since we visited a PF Chang's and we will certainly visit more often. Amazing food and presentation (The Boat!), ambient, music, drinks, service, desserts, etc. The whole package and overall, a fantastic experience!“

“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!“

“Going there for years! Best Cantonese food in North Shore!Great place , clean.Very friendly staff! Recomend to anyone who hasn't been there yet.“

“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.“

“Over 20 years ago I started eating at their original Lincoln Park location. Today, their delicious food keeps me coming back time after time. It helps that the restaurant is staffed by the nicest people in the world. When I call for pickup they know my order (lad nar with chicken and Japanese gyoza) and they have it ready in ten minutes. Ten minutes!“

“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.“

“Good food. Will recommend the place to our friends.“

“We arrived at exactly 9:30 PM, right when the restaurant was supposed to close, and Mr. Drew was kind enough to let us in and serve us anyway. He could have easily told us they were closed, but instead he went above and beyond to make sure we could get a meal.
That kindness was truly appreciated, especially after a long day. Thank you so much, Mr. Drew! Because of you, I’m not hungry and grumpy tonight. We really appreciate your kindness and great customer service!“

“Very nice portion and NICE workers!! I felt welcomed and well treated as soon as I stepped in this store. Good atmosphere& the store was spotless clean and I could feel that workers take care of this store really well. FOOD was DELICIOUS!! Loved the worker who was in black shirt!
