50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Lyons

“Wifey & I were having a couple brews down the road with friends when they’d mentioned they ate Chinese the night before so I got a craving for it! The closest Chinese restaurant was Jade Garden so I placed an order for chicken fried rice, Kung pao chicken, veggie lo mein, & 2 egg rolls. The order came with a side of white rice too. It was sooo much food; I had 2 plates worth to get my fill while my wife had 1. The next 2 days I ate leftovers for breakfast; I also passed along some food for my mom to try when I went to visit her. There was still enough remaining after all that for my wife to have a hearty lunch! Including tax it was $39ish which I felt was reasonable considering the sheer amount of food we received. Would very happily order from here again!“

“Very very good :)!growing up my mom always ordered Chinese food for us kids and I’ve been craving Chinese food but nothing was good enough and coming across this place is a blessing. Super good!

Very very good definitely putting the menu on the fridge :) will be a longtime customer :)“

“Lao Peng Yu
Amazing food packed with tons of flavors! Appreciate they have multiple options that you can make vegetarian. We tried
- cucumber salad: super light and refreshing. similar to din tai ding’s cucumbers. i might actually like these more 🫢
- scallion noodles: very simple dish but the sauce packs a ton of flavors
- dan dan noodles: great vegetarian options topped with tons of veggies. wasn’t my favorite compared to the scallion noodles, but i never been a huge fan of peanuts
- mushroom dumplings - loved the filing and the sauce was great
overall, i get the hype. this is a place i would definitely come back to over and over. we got there as soon as they opened on a sunday and the place was packed within 30 mins!“

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

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

“From the minute we walked in everything was wonderful. Our server was friendly and beyond accommodating. As was the chef when we requested a dish not on the menu. The food was exceptional. The best Chinese food we’ve ever had in the suburbs. Definitely compares to Chinatown.“

“My family and I traveled to Chicago twice this year and dined at the Asian Cuisine Express both times. The owner, cooks and wait staff were all extremely friendly and made each of our visits a wonderful experience. We ordered Chinese and Japanese food and we also sampled some of their new delicious tacos... everything we tried was absolutely fantastic. We live 300 miles away so we ordered a lot of takeout to bring home with us to share with our friends who didn't get to make the trips. Asian Cuisine express will be a regular stop now for us every time we go to Chicago... we highly recommend everyone tries this restaurant and we can't wait until we visit there again. Thanks to all the great people at Asian Cuisine Express!!!“

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

“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.“

“It’s everything you want from a Chinese place. I honestly don’t believe any review less than 5 stars. Our area is plagued by bad to mid at best Chinese food, and Moy Yuen is a shining star (5 stars!). Everything we order is always delish and cooked quickly. The phone order is efficient with no delays. Try orange chicken, general chicken, lo mein, Mongolian beef, and Singapore noodles. And don’t forget the egg roll. The place is no frills but consistently great above average Chinese food in the Western Suburbs.

“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!“

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

“Let me start by saying that this place is one of a kind! I love trying out their special for the first time! It did not disappoint at all!

I ordered sesame chicken special for pick-up. I came in and waited patiently till my ordered arrived, so i looked around and I was intrigued by that fish tank with huge fish. It wasn't too crazy busy when I came in, but otherwise I enjoyed my first visit inside. The lunch special only costed me $8 with crab lagoon & fortune cookie! Best affordable deal ever!

The food was just amazing and I see why it took long for it to be made. They put lot of love and care with the big portions! Sesame chicken was flavorful and juicy, chicken fried rice and simply tasty, and crab ragoon was honestly really good despite trying it the first time.

I gotta say, they earned my respect and I sure will have to order their lunch special again! P.s their special run from 11am-3:30p.m Tuesday- Saturday! Please support these hardworking people ❤✨“

“Great Local Chinese Food Spot in the Neighborhood. As a Custoner of 7 years I can say the quality of the food is great & has remained consistent. Tasty, Filling, and good Portions even when you Order a Small. They also have delicious Fruit Slushies. I love that they Don't use Vegetable Oils or MSG. They have a great Menu Selection with Fair Prices.“

“Fantastic neighborhood gem! My friend and I were craving classic Chinese takeout, and Orange Garden was perfect. Crab Rangoons were delicious, as were the chicken dishes. The service was so friendly, with the server making sure our water glasses stayed full and that we had takeout boxes to pack up leftovers. Perfect place for groups, as there are plenty of comfy booths.“

“I love the food here, and the customer services is great“

“Food is very fresh and delicious“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is the second time we've ordered from here, and the food tastes great.
We ordered KUNG BAO DELIGHT, and it was very tasty, and the portion was very large.
We also ordered COMBINATION FRIED RICE, and it tasted great, but I asked to make spicy, and they didn't prepare it properly.
We also ordered EGG ROLLS, and they were delicious and a good size, but the CRAB RAGOONS were good, but a little over-fried.
Highly recommended.“

“Still surprised we got seated so quickly during that weekend crowd. The food was pretty good, and the atmosphere was lively. We weren't rushed at all, which was a nice surprise given how busy it was. I'd come back again for that kind of easygoing experience.“

“This classic spot has been amazing since we were KIDS! I can’t believe I never dropped my 5 stars. If you’re an LT alum IYKYK this place raised us. After many years they still have the absolute best chicken fried rice! Lunch specials are also top notch. Family owned and operated- Never change!“

“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 !“

“Horrible food. Over priced and gross. Do not recommend. No flavor and what I ordered was definitely not what it was supposed to be. 🤮“

“great people, food is great and the portions of the food is awesome“

“Had a great experience at Asia Buffet & Grill! The food was good, and there were plenty of options to choose from. It can get a bit busy, but it’s definitely worth it because you can try a variety of dishes and enjoy whatever you’re in the mood for. Great place if you like having lots of choices in one meal!“

“I guess the years have changed Harmony. This was always my go to spot, but today something changed. The food took forever to arrive, the taste was no longer on point and the whole atmosphere just wasnt right. Im sorry, its gone backwards and the paper towels overflowed the men's room.“

“A literal hole in the wall, but a hidden gem. I’ve been ordering from here since 2010 and the food has always been delicious. The portions sizes are big enough for two people even if you order a small size. The lady at the window is always kind and happy to help. I definitely recommend ordering from here!“

“I come here pretty often since it's literally right across from me, and I have to say this place never disappoints! I always get the shrimp fried rice and General Tso's chicken, both extra spicy, and they always hit the spot.
The service is super quick—they do not play around! Whether I'm ordering in person or calling ahead, they get the food out fast and make the whole process easy.
It's definitely become my go-to spot when I'm craving Chinese food. Great food, convenient location, and speedy service. I'll keep coming back!“

“I’ve moved from Chicago to Melrose Park, and it’s been hard trying to find a good Chinese place that has good spice, not sweet spice. Best place in the area to get spicy fried rice, lady who takes the order is really nice and they get the order done fast.“

“This is my Moms go to place for her Chinese food n delivery to Sr.Suites of Midway..I've tried it many times w/ my mom.. So I decided that's where I wanted to go. Never judge a book by its cover.. The lady was super sweet n helpful,helping me with my order..with my total order was 25.00 nothing compared to my other places..I was really happy that she recommended I try Veggie Egg Foo Yung,boy was I satisfied. Customer service,is one of these most hardest jobs you can never satisfy everybody.. We all have a bad day,you don't know whether that person's order was egg rolls or Rangoon in 15 mins.. This is the reason our world is so ugly rn.. I'm going to order,rn 4 delivery n make sure I give the delivery guys 5.00 tip on top of delivery fee.its not much but better than any negativity.. Mrs King Chop Suey ur a great 1!“

“Excellent Chinese takeout with the biggest egg rolls. Generous portions too and authentic Hawaiian fried rice. Heard about this place for years and finally tried it. So glad I did. This place is a real gem and so glad it is a hidden treasure.“

“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“

“Just drove miles in rush hour to try this, the owner was amazingly polite even gave me a gift for coming so far I ordered the combo fried rice with pineapples, I asked for low sodium and she delivered it wasn’t even greasy like most Chinese food it took 7mins to receive my order it was all worth the travel 🙌🏾 She offered us to use the website I will and I recommend this amazing food 🙏🏾💯🙌🏾💯“

“I love this place.! The food has always delivered for me. I have been ordering from this place for a long time now. That being said recently I have noticed that the smoky chicken that I absolutely love from this place (no other place around me seems to have smoky chicken option) has had a bit of a texture change from how it used to be sometime ago. It seems to be a little more fried/crunchy rather then tender which is where it is the most delicious. I can't describe it exactly but I know it does not have the same texture as it once did. It is still very good regardless and I will continue to get it but I hope this gets seen and maybe offer some kind of explanation but I recommend this place!“

“The food is not as great when mom and pops had it. But I do understand the son, got to learn how to do exactly what the father and mother was doing. My egg foo young it was very salty, and that was something that I never had, as long as i've been going to. The king wok i was very disappointed. Half for the food went to the garbage. But I will give the son a chance.“

“Wow unbelievable foods and i can't believe they able to accommodate. I order party trays for the holiday and knowing some items is not on the menu and Ethan and Serina willing to tell the chef to make it for me. Thank you and amazing foods and service here. Definitely will come back“

“This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but that's not where it counts!

The lunch special, for about $11, is a hearty serving that will probably take two sittings to finish.

The food is tasty. The portions were large. The meal was served fresh and hot!“

“I ordered online, but will give 5-stars for atmosphere because of the cute note that came with my order. :)

I got the small grilled orange chicken bowl with a side of pork dumplings - there was enough food for two meals, so I'll get to enjoy it again tomorrow. Everything was amazing - the rice, the grilled chicken, the salad and the dumplings! Will definitely order from here again.“

“okay I am looking at the other reviews and the only thing that is a lie is large portions! there is no large portion! this is probably the smallest lunch special that cost close to $15 that I've ever had at any Chinese restaurant ever. you can go to a buffet and get all you can eat for $15. definitely a sample plate or portion for a child. I ordered to go and looked inside the container and was like WOW! NO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. THE REVIEWS ARE LIES SMH however the food was good and the Cashier was a very pleasant young lady very pleasant💐“

“Came in craving pho, but found something even better! The seafood soup was piping hot, super fresh, expertly seasoned, and hit the perfect level of spice. No extra toppings required.
Do not sleep on the chicken wing easily the best I’ve had in ages. The server promised me I wouldn't need hot sauce because of the seasoning, and she wasn't lying. Absolutely delicious.“

“Highly recommended!! The food is amazing!!“

“Kung pao chicken and Mongolian beef ,orange chicken“

“We called and were told they would be open for our family event. Door was locked and lights off when we got here at noon. On our way back to the car we noticed the back door was open and when we asked they said they were ready to serve and went to unlock the door. By 1215 we were seated with ice water. 4 people had all you can eat sushi and 2 ordered off the menu. Off memu options were very large portions. We left happy and satisfied if not full. There was a discussion about who would pay the bill - I did not see it.“

“The orange chicken was absolutely amazing, like wow! I live right by Chinatown, so I can get great Chinese food almost all the time, but this place is dangerously delicious. And the prices are amazing. Would highly recommend and definitely plan on returning.“

“Stopped by Great China House for dinner and went with the crispy chicken wings, hot-and-sour soup, and a side of fried rice. Wings stayed crunchy, soup had that perfect tang, and fried rice was solid comfort food. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Dining area felt a bit cluttered, but staff were nice and got us taken care of—which matters.“

“The food have an incredible taste to be in the states....really really good food the only thing is the cashiers are always like in a bad mood, they are not greeting nice people is a shame because the food is awesome....would be nice they have like a better attitude with they, customers....if people are going to pay to eat outside their homes is to have a good time , you can't have a good time if you're visiting a restaurant with employees that are always like in a bad mood, like Not welcoming people... just saying“

“The restaurant is clean, cozy, and well-kept, creating a very pleasant dining experience. The owner is extremely kind and welcoming. The dish in the photo was specially prepared upon request, and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!“

“We ordered three items from the restaurant and all of them were really good. However the Chow Mein (Fideo Tostado) with Crispy Noodles, was missing the crispy noodles. We reported this in the app, and the restaurant gave that item to us for free. We are giving five stars because of the exceptional customer service.“
