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!“

“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!

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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?!!!!!“

“The pull noodle was spicy and not mixed well. It hurt my stomach immediately so that was disappointing. On the other hand, the chicken fried rice was perfect, and would offed again. We also ordered general tso’s chicken which was flavorful and fulfilling. The orders come in large sizes. We ordered take out, which was quick, and thankfully it arrived still warm in a nice reusable bag.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“Sweet & Sour Chicken has the classic flavors, big portion of 14 pieces. Egg roll is large in size and delicious, with peanut butter flavor, included with the $10.75 price + a massive portion of pork fried rice is very tasty, easily 2 meals worth of food. Good crunch chicken batter and egg roll. Best quality and value for the price, I will order from them again, a new favorite.“

“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.“

“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!!“
