50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lincolnwood

“If you’re craving authentic homemade flavors and huge portions, this spot is definitely worth visiting 🍽️😋 The food tasted incredibly fresh and comforting, like a family recipe passed down for generations ❤️ It honestly felt like eating a meal made by a professional chef with all the warmth of Grandma’s cooking 👵✨ The service was quick and efficient, so we didn’t have to wait long to enjoy our food 🙌 The portions were massive - the kind that instantly make your eyes widen when the plates arrive 😄 Best of all, the prices were very reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get 💸 Come with a big appetite because you’ll leave full, satisfied, and probably carrying leftovers home too 🥡🔥“

“It's a little restaurant and there aren't many seats but the food is excellent! I've had the General Tsaos Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Mongolian Beef, and the Chop Suey and every time it's made perfect! They take their time with every dish and it tastes fresh and hot! I highly recommend this restaurant! Also, the Service is excellent!“

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

“This is a laid-back fast food restaurant where the ordering process is simple and doesn’t require any social effort (that's what I value most).

In the US, fake socializing, feigned respect, and moral blackmail are everywhere, I need more authentic dining environments free from social obligations.“

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

“I have recently transitioned to a vegan diet. I find most dishes a bit plain because I’m still used to regular food.

Thankfully, the vegetable noodles there are very tasty, regardless of being vegan.

The vegan dumplings are pretty unique too, with that cool mix of tofu and ginger. 🙏🏼“

“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.“

“Hands down one of the must chinese places for traditional as well as authetic styles . Dimsums and shumais are just perfect. The portions good and filling. The flavours are spot on amd noodles have the right txtture and crunch and chewiness like the chou fan flat noodles . DONT MISS THIS FOR SURE ! SERVICE FOOD ATMOSPHERE LOCATION !“

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

“Soup dumplings were my favorite! Will com back for the dumplings, eggplant salad and doushabing! 4 star for the food because the plum juice was not sour enough comparing to the ones I had growing up, the xi’an bing was okay, very lamby for those who don’t like lamb-I would stay away from that until they improve/change how they make them. Dandan noodle had an interesting taste which did not have enough flavor for me. Overall a great experience!“

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

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“Taco Verde is hands down one of our favorite spots for amazing halal tacos! The quality and flavor are consistently outstanding. We absolutely love their Birria Tacos — perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with rich, authentic flavor.

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!“

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

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

“The food here is fantastic and authentic. I ordered hand-pulled noodles in hot and sour sauce, which was a very generously-sized bowl of fresh noodles that had a great texture—delicate and chewy at the same time, in a savory sauce. It was so flavorful and filling, but didn’t feel heavy. I also got several vegetable dishes that I loved: eggplant in spicy garlic sauce, and stir-fried cabbage. Both were delicious, but the cabbage had a really nice smoky char from the wok heat. I’m so excited to come back and try more of their dishes.“

“Did the karaoke party - - family style food first then karaoke. The crab rangoon is very good as well as the garlic green beans. The orange chicken head very orange-y. Also came with vegetable egg rolls, vegetable fried rice, sushi, dumplings. I thought the rest of the food was just ok but I'd be willing to go back to try food specifically that I prefer and could order. It's byob but he supplies ice and there is liquor on site. Jimmy creates such a lively, fun vibe!!! Definitely an experience!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“The best restaurant in uptown 👍👍“

“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“

“Shanghai Terrace offers some of the best Chinese food in Chicago. The restaurant is pretty and we were lucky enough to get a seat on the terrace. We ordered a lot (love to taste and take home leftovers) and every dish was perfectly prepared and delicious. The staff is incredibly attentive and the meal well paced. Truly a wonderful evening.“

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

“This restaurant is the best! The food is delicious and plenty of heat if you want it—also dishes that are not spicy. Menu has plenty to choose from and new dishes being added each time I go. Some of the best Sichuan food anywhere. Excellent, friendly service. Lovely ambiance. Right in Printer’s row, lots of street parking. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

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

“Best Chinese food in Chicago! The Kung Pao Chicken is one of my favorites along with their Pork Fried Rice, but I have enjoyed many of their dishes - BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Egg Rolls, Pot Stickers, Beef Chop Suey on crispy chow mein noodles - all delicious. The servings are large - plenty to share or take home for tomorrow's lunch. All the staff are friendly and efficient, and you can eat in, pickup or order delivery. Try House of Wah Sun; you won't be disappointed.“

“My brother took me here today.... And OMG never had soup dumplings this good.... TRY THEM ALL.... BOBA drinks are tasteful.... Noodles are perfect, had the Pad Thai.... Shu mai is top notch, perfect texture in the shrimp... Gotta come here if your craving soup dumplings. Also price varies depending how much you enjoy the food and trust me you will..... TRY EVERYTHING!!!!!!“

“I been buying a loyal customer since 2017 brought it to my mom's house se loved it when she ask where I got it, and told her. She said that she use to buy from there when she worked in that area 20+ years ago. Still great quality and flavor“

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

“The food is always solid, poIite staff, pretty fast outside of lunch/dinner hour. If you are looking for a recommendation, you can't go wrong with the basics: chicken fried rice, orange chicken, egg foo young, or wonton soup. Items I also recommend: Mongolian beef or salt and pepper shrimp.

I eat there so frequently I felt it's time I owed them the rating they deserve.“

“I had a really great experience here, especially thanks to the amazing service 😊🙌. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. My food arrived fresh and hot, just the way it should be 🔥🍽️. You can tell they care about quality and customer satisfaction. I ordered the tofu fried rice along with crab rangoon, and both were absolutely satisfying 😋. It was one of those meals that truly hits the spot after a long day. I left feeling happy and full, and I’d definitely come back again 👍✨.“

“Unpopular but should be popular opinion, Peking Mandarin is the best restaurant in Chicago. I’ve been ordering by takeout from here for the last 8 years and I finally dined in. Takeout has always been exceptionally good and dine in was also. The service was quick and attentive. The owner was so kind and funny. A hidden gem for sure.“

“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 ‼️‼️‼️“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

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

“I had an amazing experience at Hong Huah. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious every dish we tried was full of flavor and clearly made with care.

The owners, Arnold and his dad, are some of the kindest and most welcoming people we’ve ever met. They truly make you feel like family with their friendliness and warmth.

I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner. If you’re looking for great food and even better service, this is definitely the place to go!“

“Idk why you all put low star reviews. But I tell you this, This place cooks way better than Panda express. If you like Chinese food, you gotta try their meals, so so amazing and way cheaper than competitors. I buy food from here 3 times every week.“

“I stopped by this place just to grab a quick bite while I was waiting around, and I’m really glad I did 😄🍜 Honestly, I wish I had a spot like this closer to where I live! It has that classic “hole in the wall” vibe, but the food is surprisingly good-definitely one of the better American Chinese spots I’ve tried in the city 👍✨

When I visited, it seemed like it was being run by just one woman, and she handled everything so well 🙌 She was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better 💛 On top of that, the dish I had was really tasty and hit the spot perfectly 🤤🔥 Simple, comforting, and full of flavor. I’d definitely come back again!“

“This is an excellent place if you’re in the mood for Chinese food 🍜✨ They offer a wide variety of dishes, so there’s always something tasty to choose from no matter what you’re craving 😋 The food is flavorful, well-prepared, and consistently satisfying 👍 The staff is also very professional and kind, which really adds to the overall experience 😊 You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. It’s a comfortable spot to enjoy a good meal with great service all around ❤️ Definitely a place I’d recommend and come back to again 🥢🔥“

“this place slaps. full stop. i never leave reviews but both the service and food were so excellent that i had to. first time here- i’ve never been so full in my life and taken home so much food for such a good price. i’d def come back and also order takeout from here“

“This place is the bomb! My favorites are the duck fried rice, salt and pepper fish, and spicy cumin lamb though we always order something new to try and have never been let down. This place is truly a south loop gem like every restaurant in this complex actually. Try it you won't be disappointed.“

“The coziest spot for Chinese comfort dishes! Everything was honestly delicious. Plus the service was so friendly and great! The portions are huge — great for sharing multiple plates with a group. The sesame chicken breading is perfect. The lo fon noodles were delicious.“

“My man went in got us some fries ,vegetable rice and some super tacos the food was amazing he said the customer service was amazing as well , we ‘ll definitely be coming back !!! It’s hard to find good rice you don’t have to even add the soy sauce for it to be good!!thank you !“

“If you want actual good chinese food this is your place! I've been to a lot of Chinese places and this has been one of the best. Don't be fooled by all the other highly rated chinese spots because not all live up to the hype but this is a hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop shop that's dishing out great food!
Everything cooked beautifully, top notch“

“The guy that answered the phone and took my order could have sounded like he was interested or at least a little bit friendly. Other than that I do have to say they're sweet and sour chicken is probably the best around. They're fried rice is also delicious. It's been a while since I was there so when I go back I'll update on the next dish that I get. All in all it's definitely good food.“

“The best food around!
I am a FAN of chinese food, but no where around suburbs and chicago will you find such FRESH food! Veggies are perfectly done, meat is perfectly cooked! Sauce is amazing taste! I had their Happy Family Dish , Chicken fried rice and Khan Pau Chicken .
Please try this place!

Parking: Plenty of safe , free parking“

“Order the Thai Red Curry off the takeout menu... it is our favorite dish. In fact, the staff at Jin Asian knows our order when we walk in the door. I get the chicken, my fiance gets the beef, and we have them add mushrooms to both. That, plus the Crab Rangoon with apricot-based sauce, makes one of my favorite meals in the city. The restaurant is never crowded, and the service is very friendly.“
