26 Best Chinese Restaurants near Island Lake

“Great. Asked for no oil or minimum oil, and they did it. Lots of flavor. Thanks.“

“The food tastes amazing and there are large portions“

“Carry out only, but the best Chinese food ever! Sweet and sour chicken is phenomenal, crispy white meat nuggets and the sauce (in a separate container) is perfectly balanced. Chow mein, egg foo young, fried rice, hot and sour soup, all are great tasting. Portions are huge, and the weekday lunch specials can't be beat.“

“Great food, Great portions! People here are typically friendly, they seem a bit rushed, but never take it out on the customer. We LOVE the crab rangoons and the fried rice is so good no matter which meat you choose!

My only complaint is that EVERY SINGLE TIME I tell them no peanuts in my KungPao dish they put tons of peanuts in it, not just in it but right on top. I know lots of people love it, my husband does, but personally I hate the peanut flavor and texture it ruins the whole dish for me. Extremely dangerous if someone has an allergy to peanuts and are then served a ton of peanuts.“

“1st off, I'm not a local guide as this stupid Google system says I am. Ok, Native New Yorker now living in Texas, seriously missing good Chinese food. I was in Illinois for business and a coworker suggested China Style and it was delicious! The nice woman at the counter had them make BBQ Pork Fried Rice for me, to go with an order of BBQ Pork and it was all very good! The prices were standard for what Chinese food costs these days. It was so good. I came back 2 days later for more of the rice and had the Chicken with Broccoli and it was very good as well! Thank you to the nice woman for having the order prepared specifically for what I wanted! Best Chinese I've had away from New York.“

“I've been coming to this establishment for over ten years plus unfortunately I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO RAW AND RANCID PORK BONELESS MEALS ON THE COMBO MENU!! WITH ALL DUE RESPECT SIR PLEASE FOR ALL THAT'S RIGHT AND JUST !!!! PLEASE CLOSE DOWN !!!!🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢“

“I was there today for lunch and asked if they could leave the fried rice off because I could not eat rice. I realized later that she must have misunderstood me as she got very offended and said "if you don't like it - go someplace else." I exchanged a few words with her as I thought her comment to go someplace else just because I asked for no fried rice on my Plate (I cannot eat rice anymore) was very rude. We fininished our lunch which was delicious and went on our way. I have frequented this restaurant several times and have never made a special request so YUM YUM lady was always nice. If she reads this I would like to APOLOGIZE to her as I think her fried rice is delicious. I just am unable to eat rice at this point. A misunderstanding that could have been avoided.“

“we've been going to Chen's for over 30 years at least once a month. people are awesome, the food is outstanding and the prices are exceptionally reasonable. disregard negative reviews. anyone that goes there on a regular basis would highly recommend. a nice family restaurant not a chain.“

“Love this restaurant! The food is consistently delicious, the wait staff is top notch and the restaurant is an enjoyable ambiance with multiple booths for seating or tables if preferred. We're so glad this opened!

Parking: Parking is right out front of door which helped once when it had begun to rain! Also, handicapped parking is available.“

“My favorite Chinese food in the area! Service is brusque but efficient, and while technically there is a table or two inside this is really more of a carry-out place. But everything is tasty and once you get to know the staff they're really nice.“

“Pork buns are heavenly good as well as fried gyoza 😋
That restaurant deserves a better location and popularity!!! Personnel was also very nice and patient to me and my bf(English is not our first language). Good choice of drinks by the way!“

“Ordered here looking for something that was open, and so glad we did. They have the BEST sesame balls I have ever had. We are so excited to order from here again. If you like sesame definitely order those!! We wish we ordered two orders of them instead of only one.“

“Family and I had some great food tonight. Large portions too. Will be back.“

“We always enjoy ordering from here. We get our food quickly and it’s always been correct and one of our favorites for take out Chinese in the area!

Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian area of the menu. Make sure to ask without eggs for noodle dishes.“

“Just ordered from there, half food was cold, most tasted steamed to no flavor beef in chop seuy and fried rice was not chewable, messed up the order and over charged me, I got 10 pounds of food that I threw out, never again“

“Wow, just WOW. Words cannot begin to describe just how pleased I am with my dining experience. Friendly staff, great food, and amazing atmosphere are just some of the things that contributed to my unforgettable experience. Not only was there little to no wait time, the workers were very patient and kind towards me while I was ordering my food. After receiving my food, the least I can say is that I was simply blown away. The portion sizes are immaculate and the flavors are unlike anything I’ve had before. I will definitely be returning here for my future meals and I can’t recommend it to others enough.“

“I came here a year ago and the food was disgusting. I went yesterday as they're under new ownership and was absolutely blown away. Mongolian beef and potstickers were A++. AND THE SUSHI WAS SO GOOD OMG“

“Ordered through Door Dash and the food was fantastic! Portions were generous & the food was seasoned well. We will definitely order again.“

“We stopped in last night for dinner and had the best experience we've ever had at a Panda Express. I myself don't eat there often (My teen kids do all the time) , so I was not super familiar with the menu. I have a dairy allergy so whenever I go somewhere new to eat, I have to awkwardly stand off to the side and google menus, ingredients, nutritional info, etc.
This was the first time I went somewhere and the person serving the food new EVERY ingredient and EVERY preparation for ALL the items. I was blown away. The young man was so kind and informed. The woman working near the register was also fantastic. She let us taste their new Panda crafted drinks (I ended up getting the Peach one).
Panda Express needs to give the staff there last night a raise!
Again - I'm still astonished that the guy knew all the ingredients - well done.

“The food was amazing and tasty compaired with other places around the area. Used to eat a lot of chinese food from different restaurants but this place beats by far others. I have been over 11 years here and I would recommend trying their dishes. Our experience for service and taste so far 10 stars and totally impressed. Keep up the good work!“

“3 people working at lunch time, wouldn’t even know it. The efficiency of the employees is extremely impressive. Was worried about the line when I walked in. Was faster than most places that are dead. Great staff! Great food! Thank you for a great lunch.“

“09/2024 update, was having a rushed day so i online ordered....so distracted that i ordered it wrong!! By the time I realized my husband was already on hisway to get it. I called and said have you already made it? They said yes, why did i ask. So i explained what happened, but told them i wasn't upset as i like what i accidentally ordered! They said "ok". You guessed it, it was remade by the time my husband got there. How nice is that???
Everything is amazing . First off they are so excellent with the covid situation. We got the egg foo young there because because our no longer favorite restaurant was closed. Thank heavens they did. I have NEVER had such a light and delicious egg food young in my entire life. It's do good you're afraid to try anything else!Then I find out they have curry?? Holy crap. Fresh veggies and the mushrooms, the chicken incredibly moist and delicious. My son had the kimchi, husband the sweet and sour chicken. We got the dinner specials, which, of course was a huge amount of food...egg rolls perfect, egg drop soup amazing, the chicken fried rice so yummy ?. All of it under $30. Great food great service.“

“What a great experience my husband and I had. The woman serving food and the cashier evan on saturday 10/26 around 7pm. We so positive and upbeat. Really made you feel welcome. This was a level of service that I have not had in years. Give them both a raise! Thank you so much!“

“The restaurant is pick up only and the front is run down and even a bit dingy in appearance but the prices are great and the food is REALLY good! When we moved to McHenry 10 years ago we had trouble finding Chinese food we liked. Finally friends suggested checking out China House.“

“Uber One Eats take out order. Beef Lo Mein, Dragon Lo Mein, Beef & Broccoli. Beyond steaming hot. Enough to maintain temperatures for a 30-minute drive home. Extremely fresh, portions are very generous consistent.It's really great last-minute meal preparation storage.Highly recommend ? ?“

“Went for lunch today, Sunday. I found the price to be reasonable, and the selection of food excellent. Have 2 suggestions: 1. The soup was very hot, excellent. However, the food was not. Lukewarm at best. 2. I skipped several dishes because I had no idea what they were. Signage very poor. The staff was very friendly and I will definately try it again. (I love buffets, but I also love my food hot.)“
