50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lincolnwood

“We were in our way to the airport and decided to get dinner. The service was fast, the person in the front (owner?) was so friendly and personable. The restaurant is really spacious and lovely. The biggest treat was finally eating our meal and it was the best Chinese food I’ve had. So delicious! The portions are very generous and they did not skimp on the shrimp. I highly recommend this place.“

“Really good Chinese food. Not too greasy, or saucy. Made just right. High quality ingredients.
I'm so happy they're in Lincolnwood so I don't have to go all the way to Chinatown or Evanston. I got their traditional potstickers (those are the handmade ones with the thicker outside dough), mooshoo pork (It's like a taco meets peking duck but healthier because it has cabbage and mushrooms and you can wrap it yourself. The beef chow fun was on point and the same is they make at Ming Hing. Fried rice was perfect. I'm sure everything else is really good too. It seems like there's new ownership and the new owners are really nice and organized. She also gave me a complimentary chili oil. Feel very lucky that this place is just a few minutes away and has fresh wok made food!! They also cater!“

“I had an amazing dinner tonight!! The food was tasty, and the atmosphere was superb! Great service as well. Get the duck! 🙌“

“Vito welcomed my friend and I with such love and generosity as soon as we entered! It's quite pleasant and considerate of him to note the heat outdoors and ask if we would like a cup of cold water to cool us down while we made our order decisions. He provided us with first-rate service, and the food arrived quickly! Vito makes this a destination worth traveling to for the purposeful, excellent service alone! I would strongly advise anyone to visit this place! And Vito, thank you very much!“

“Foodie and gals it’s are addictive. Warning!! 💕💕💕💕“

“Fried shrimp jianbing was a delectable combination of so many textures and flavors wrapped up in a freshly griddled crepe. The textural contrast between the shatteringly crispy wonton sheet and the soft, chewy crepe was downright addictive. Every bite was flavorful: smoky, savory, slightly sweet, a little spicy, and wildly satisfying. It's the comfort of street food in one messy, glorious handful.“

“I wanted to like this place, but I have to say I was a bit let down. The twice cooked pork and vegetable delight came out very quickly, and did taste a bit like it was directly reheated (also thought the flavor was a bit lacking from the twice cooked pork). That being said, the crab noodles which are not pictured were absolutely delicious. In addition, the service was solid and the atmosphere is quite nice. Perfect for a quick meal on a Sunday evening if you’re in the area craving Chinese food. If the twice cooked pork were better, I’d be much more of a fan.“

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

“Featured in pics: *Dan Dan Noodles, Mushroom Noodle Soup, *Pork and Chive Dumplings, Beef and Green Onion Dumplings, *Cold Chicken (also got xi’an bing, not featured)

* = standouts/would highly recommend

All of it was great! So many dumplings in one order; they don’t skimp! We waited about ~35-40 minutes to be seated on a Thursday night around 6:20.“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

“Have been going to many Chinese restaurants looking for a good hot n sour soup. It's all been terrible, even at places that used be good, sometimes even getting just a cup of mostly broth. Well my search is over finally found a good hot n sour soup, flavors were perfectly balanced, came with hot chili oil which is usually extra at other places. Will be back to get my soup fix. Two thumbs up, ten stars!“

“If you are looking good Chinese food in the west loop this is for sure the spot. The staff was very friendly and did a great job at explaining the menu option, they were very accommodating to our diet restrictions & ensured we were satisfied with our meals. I had the tofu and has been one of the best ones I have tried even my known vegetarian friends were a fan. If you have a sweet tooth and want to try something trendy the drumsticks ice cream is also very recommended.“

“They have the best Chinese food down. I always get the string beans and the sesame chicken. It’s so delicious.“

“Just a Great Restaurant that continues to impress over the years! Food, drinks, service, ambience... Checks All the boxes! In the dining room they kept the classic low ceilings and carpet to absorb the sounds Thank God!!! They haven't caved to the all hard surface echo chambers reminiscent of your HS cafeteria that so many places have gone to! Peking Duck service is Amazing! Eggplant dish, exceptional! Seafood Fried Rice order it Dry. Without the sauce. So clean, & fresh! Can't say enough. Love this place! Keep it up! Thank You for what you do!“

“This is definitely some of the better dim sum I’ve had. I’m not sure what it’s called but my favorite one is like shrimp amd egg and it’s a little toasted. And the custard tart is so good. The crust is so flaky“

“Woah!! So good, my friend and I were looking for a bite after checking out The Chicago Temple and thought we'd go for something a new and different. We totally lucked out when we found Jian. Tasty, new cuisine to us, we got the slow roasted pork, butterfly shrimp, and pork floss as well as a avocado banana smoothie and everything was knock out! Total hidden gem dead center in the loop. Will be back. Service was super friendly. So glad we stopped by!“

“I’ve lived all over, traveled throughout the U.S., and tasted a lot of tacos… And I can say that the tacos here are absolutely some of the best in the country. It’s crazy that they’re so good. Very highly recommended. The birria tacos are amazing.“

“Amazing food and fast!! My friends and I really enjoyed dinner at Sun Wah!!“

“Absolutely delicious! The hot and sour soup brought the heat, but didn't over power the flavor. We also had a variety of the dim sum, the best was the pot stickers. Fun atmosphere, great service“

“love the dine in experience...Nuff said“

“We had a good experience. Good food and friendly staffing.“

“Staff friendly. Food was very good. Will go again.“

“Saw this place on TikTok and decided to drive up north to try it. I must say it was definitely worth the trip. Some of the best Chinese I’ve had in the city will definitely be returning. I got the barbecue pork beef fried rice spicy no vegetables only egg with the crispy fried chicken, wings, and crab Rangoon chefs kiss“

“Delicious food and fast delivery! I've had food from Wonder Chop many times, pick up and delivery. It's always been hot and delicious. The staff has been welcoming, friendly, and my order is correct. Love this place!“

“We had a terrific experience here. Great service, atmosphere, and the Hong Kong style curry cuttlefish was to die for. Will definitely be back“

“Been going here for over 45 years and never had one bad meal. The remodeled restaurant is fantastic and very comfortable.“

“First time trying this location for lunch. It was pretty average. Had the bbq pork mongolian style. A few portions of large pork but also an entire onion. Pretty average could of done with more meat. Flavor was good might try again in the future but hope for more protein. Very small interior feels more like a take out / delivery locations than dine in.“

“Our favorite Chinese food restaurant in Chicago. Staff is friendly, food is delicious no matter what we get. Some of our favorites are the Wash Sun Chicken Wings, Noodle platter, Ma Po Tofu - but honestly anything is delicious from here.“

“We were next door having wine, but passed this place on the way and circled back once we got hungry. What a hidden gem! We got three plates which left us perfectly full. The wontons and dumplings were thin, with a generous amount of filling and in perfectly seasoned sauces. My friend got a noodle dish and at first we were concerned they would be dry, but were delighted to find out there was a hidden serving of a very tasty sauce under the noodles once mixed. Overall would gladly come back and definitely recommend this for a date night or quick bite out!“

“Every neighborhood needs a place like this. It’s a shame the five star rating has become so overinflated because, this isn’t a 5 Star place, but I guess it does five stars at doing what it’s supposed to do. This is a very simple, very basic Chinese restaurant that serves really good food. It’s never going to win an award, but you don’t always want those places. Anyway, we had a great meal there, the service was a bit of a hoot. Our meals were delivered at least 10 minutes apart, but the waitstaff was so sweet and so friendly you just couldn’t be upset over it. Plus, it was just me and my wife so we both nibbled at the first meal before hers got there.

Anyway, if you’re looking for fine dining, this ain’t it but if you’re looking for a good meal, then this would be the place to go if you’re in the area.“

“I have been coming here twice a week for 6 months. Their General Tso's is my go-to order.
Everything is always super fresh and remarkably consistent. Their ready times are spot on! Your order is ready when you want it to be! I don't like ordering for a specific time and it be ready wayy early or take too long after.
They have competitive pricing, respectable portions, and great flavor.“

“10/10

Be mindful that they DO THEIR OWN delivery service but it is processed through GrubHub for online orders

Lunch and dinner specials are legit

Delivery is always on time or better than anticipated! Hot foods are delivered still HOT and cold drinks are still cold fridge temps 👌“

“Very great food and very fresh. They make it the way u would like it‼️‼️🤤🤤. I ordered a shrimp egg foo young, a combination rice, and 2 chicken egg rolls 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤 VERY moist and NOT greasy. I would recommend this restaurant for EVERYONE ‼️‼️‼️“

“Very good Chinese food 🍱 best in the neighborhood:)“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“One word: Eggrolls! Unlike any others in most Chinese restaurants-- the spices and the peanut butter are the secret. For those who remember Pekin House on Devon, very similar eggrolls. I am so happy to have found this take out restaurant and I look forward to trying other dishes on their menu.... but I will most certainly always order some eggrolls to go. Delicious!“

“This was some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a while!!! I ordered the crab rangoon, shrimp fried rice, and general tso’s chicken. Everything was fresh! The shrimp were big and clean, and the rice was nice and dark! IYKYK 😂. The crab rangoon were nice sizes. They give a great amount of everything— takeout boxes were overflowing in a good way. Everything was packaged nicely to prevent spills. The service was also great. The cashier was extremely kind and welcoming when I went to pick up my order. I will definitely be back! 🤎“

“I really enjoy the food such a good flavor I usually call my order in and have it delivered very nice on the phone and fast delivery this time I walked in an ordered the service was even better thank you keep up the good work you have delicious food“

“Finally!!! A GOOD CHINESE PLACE THAT USES REAL CHICKEN

IN SO HAPPY!!
I almost didn’t try them cause there cash only
Got the Kung pow chicken with fried rice and egg drop soup 2 hot sauces 15$

Everything is on POINT!!

I found my Chinese place 🙌 thank you guys!!
-a customer that likes quality“

“This place is awesome! We went for a girls night and enjoyed the whole hotpot experience! The lamb is halal here, so we were happy to have a meat option. However, the veggie broth itself is so flavorful—having just veggies would have been just fine! By the end of the night we were drinking cups of the broth, because of how flavorful it was!! If you like spicy, definitely get the spicy broth! You won’t regret it. Appreciated how clean the place was—the staff were great about checking in and refilling the broth regularly! Will definitely be going back for more!!“

“Friendly service; above and beyond every time I’ve ordered. In Detroit I was obsessed with “Almond Boneless Chicken” or War Su Gai. And I was delighted to find it here in Chicago (aren’t we so spoiled with food here in the city?!)! The chicken was moist and lightly breaded. The brown sauce took me back to many comforting memories. Thank you for making this dish. It was everything I expected and the quality made it exceptional.“

“A family run restaurant with great food and a friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The appetizer are start to every meal. A selection of appetizer and splitting a main course is often enough for two.

Dietary restrictions: The food is made to order and meets the personal needs.“

“This is my fav Chinese food spot around town. Their tofu is cooked well and everything always tastes great. Service is pretty quick too. I think most people order takeout but dining in is pretty chill too. Also, their prices are pretty reasonable. A lot of food that I usually end up taking home.“

“They have the best Chinese food down. I always get the string beans and the sesame chicken. It’s so delicious.“

“Best and I mean BEST egg rolls in the city.
I've never had better orange chicken, everyone ive brought here agrees. Every dish ive ever had has been out of this world. The staff are amazing ...portions and prices are unbeatable. I almost forgot the handmade potstickers!!! Truly Delicious.
Once you have En Lai , they will become your GO-TO Chinese place.“

“Super flavorful, crispy tofu with large portions. Probably the best price point in the area. I’m obsessed with their kung pao—it’s STACKED with zucchini, onion, and cabbage (unlike a lot of other places, which is just a bunch of dried chilis).“

“This spot has some great dishes, but the standout for me is their gun poong chicken. Enjoy a plate full of drumsticks that are crispy on the outside and soft inside, covered in a spicy sauce and a side of rice. Be sure to ask for extra napkins.“

“I grew up eating at Hunan Spring almost 15 years ago, so I stopped by hoping to relive an old memory with a friend after coming from Bensenville. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The lady who works there was nice, but the man was very rude. He gave me the wrong items, and when I called, he hung up on me. That kind of customer service is unacceptable. Be careful with your order and double-check it. I don’t usually write reviews, but this was a horrible experience especially compared to the good memories I had here years ago.all because I wanted so order lunch specials.?“

“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!
