“Ive only been here once so take my review with a grain of salt but I have to say, this is one of those "food>environment" establishments where the heart and purpose is in the food. I had ordered the Kung Pao Chicken w/ Rice. I waited about 7-10 minutes in the lobby waiting for my food. I loved that my container was full to the top but do have to note that I wish the meat to rice ratio was a bit more balanced, but nonetheless, not enough to knock off a star. What I also did note that was different, was that my chicken was mixed in within my rice instead of how I've been accustomed to, which is receiving it in 2 separate portions. Which in no way is to be taken as a negative, I just thought It was different and gave the meal a sense of solidarity throughout the flavors which really let the sauces stand out and play their role really well. Going back to what I had said about the food slightly overshadowing the environment, I firmly believe that the food here is made with love as it seems to be family owned and operated, but I would love to see some improvements to the dining room and hospitality. But then again, I do understand that this is one of those 'in the cut" hidden gems that capitalize & rely on their faith in their good wholehearted food, which I do not blame at all. I definitely do see myself coming back and am excited to try out the rest of the items there. I give it 4 stars as I cannot in good faith give it 5 without trying their pepper steak or orange chicken but look more than forward to updating it in the future.“

“Cashew Chicken & Egg Rolls Delicious👍🧡😋“

“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.“

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

“The people running this place are so kind and nice.Everytime we've come here, the food comes out so fast and tastes amazing!100% recommend cherry pork and their amazing crunchy egg rolls, best I've had!Look forward to our next visit.“

“I had the orange chicken and crab Rangoon. It isn't your typical Chinese takeout. When you walk in you may think so, but the food is definitely above the normal Chinese takeout. It was crispy and the sauce was great. The crab rangoon were huge and had a lot of filling. I will be back for sure.“

“I have been a customer since early 1990's and now I drive from Racine WI for your food and am never disappointed. This trip, Beef Chop Suey, Combo Fried Rice, Chicken Egg Rolls and Vegetable Egg Foo Young, as always the food was delicious, portions were large and service was very friendly. Thank you for continuing with the great food quality and service that you have been known for!“

Parking: Plenty of spots to park including handicap near the door

Wheelchair accessibility: The curb has been modified to allow wheelchair“

“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!!!!!“

“I came specifically for the shrimp toast this is the only place that has it. I searched Waukegan/zion/beach park/kenosha no where to be found. This was so good! I had it in DC and it was comparable. The pot stickers are thick dumplings and made fresh.Egg roll was good but don’t know if I tasted shrimp in it which is listed is included on the menu. Crab Rangoon I would prefer the crab cut up and mixed with the cream cheese and a little more flavor and chicken teriyaki sticks not enough flavor a little dry.Overall though I would definitely return and would like to try more menu items. We started eating right away so pics are not as aesthetically pleasing.“

“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 heard about this place from friends who said we shouldn’t be deterred by the reviews (which are dated). Our friends couldn’t have been more right - Excellent food at excellent prices. Delivery was faster than the quoted time and the food was so hot we needed to wait a few minutes. Definitely our “go to” Chinese place. Chow fun and moo shu pork are excellent. Great egg rolls too.“

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

“This place remains our go-to location in Highland Park. There are other, larger restaurants with Asian cuisine, but Jade has been a favorite for several years now.Features: Not sure if they are yet open for seating inside post-Covid. Their "stop outside the door for pickup" policy during Covid was very effective.

Parking: Limited parking in front of the location, but a larger lot is available next door behind the neighboring building to the east.“

“I'm passing through the area and looking for something to eat I found this place and I wanted to try I came for chicken wings but they didn't have them so I bought some rice with shrimp to try and the truth is it's really good I ended up eating it all ?“

“Panda Express is a flavor-packed gem.The Orange Chicken is a must-try—crispy and tangy.Friendly staff, quick service, and a clean ambiance.Beijing Beef and Cream Cheese Rangoons—delicious!A go-to spot for satisfying cravings at any time of day! ??

Kid-friendliness: Employee gave my son 1 extra cookie :)“

“Great food. will definitely recommend“

“This has become our “go to” place for carry out. Excellent traditional Cantonese. Yes, great seafood menu, but it has a full variety of other choices. Really fast: I do phone or online order, live nearby and leave right away, yet order is ready when I arrive or within a couple of 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.“

“Loved everything about it except the music level. It was way too loud, especially for lunch time and made conversation difficult. The hostess turned it down a tiny bit when we asked, but said that corporate requires them to have it at that level. It is ridiculous, because people get together for good food and conversation. The volume was such it was difficult to hear the person on the other side of the booth. I understand background music, but this wasn't that.“

“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.“

“this was our first time here we thought we were going to dine in but The dining room is closed. It was never reopened after Covid. We had the orange chicken, which was really tough. Don’t know if it was old but the shrimp fried rice and chicken sweet-and-sour was very good. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“My experience was both positive and negative. The food was pricey but well worth it since you can get 2 or 3 meals out of it. My wife's sesame chicken had an abundance or sweet and sour sauce. Too much for her taste. My shrimp eggs foo young was great along with the egg rolls. My pickup experience was terrible. The sign says "ring the bell"to notify them you're there. After 3 rings and 5 minutes with no response I called them to let them know I was there. They finally came out, no apology just pushed the order thru the plastic and sign the receipt. Not even a thank you. I trust this rudeness was just the result of a bad day and not par for the course.“

“Excellent Chinese Food. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants at North suburbs of Chicago area, particularly the one at Vernon Hills. Food is delicious, each time I ordered carry out, they all packed very well too. Definitely recommend.“
