Chinese Restaurants near Melrose Park

“I find some of the low reviews here baffling. I think some people may be confusing this restaurant with other Chinese restaurants due to its rather non descript name. Make no mistake, the food here is excellent and punches way above its price point.Coming in the first time I was pessimistic. It seemed your standard pre prepared food menu ready to dish out quickly to the lunch crowd panda express style. I quickly became a huge fan after eating large well prepared portions I would expect from a normal sit down restaurant. Yes it's your standard generic fare but made so much better.Great food, great price. Appreciate these places, the owners care about making something good.“

“I had a very pleasant experience from start to finish. Ms. Vangie, assisted me and my mother. The whole time Ms. Vangie kept us smiling,and she loves assisting customers. Ms. Vangie is pleasant, sweet and kind. She should have a class teaching excellent customer service. Thank you Ms. Vangie for a great experience.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Food was great. Our waitress was pleasant but our appetizer and entree came out almost together. We didn't even get to eat the appetizer and had to box it up to take home. The bathrooms needed to be cleaned. Garbage cans were overflowing. We enjoy the food but they need to pay attention to detail.“

“After going the first time I knew I'd be coming back. The staff is so kind and the service is remarkably quick. The food is unbelievably delicious. Favorites of ours are the soup dumplings, the green beans, and the scallion pancakes. We've also gotten the beef dumplings, fried rice, orange chicken, combo chow mein, crab rangoons, and pork buns - all of which were great. The dan dan noodles fell a little flat for us. I really liked the stir fried pancake but it's not for everyone. Both times I've gone with a small group (4-6 people) and it took a little time to get seated (<20 mins) but it was the dinner rush and their dining space is admittedly on the smaller side - maybe 6 tables with 20-25 seats total? Overall my friends and I love this place and will definitely be coming back again and again!“

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

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

“This is our go to take out Chinese place. Flawless. Flavorful, large portions, quick delivery, friendly. Our faves: egg foo yung, Singapore rice noodles, general tsos chicken, sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, beef chop suey - all wonderful.“

“I ordered from Rose's for the 1st time today. Absolutely delicious food! My ordered was delivered quickly and was piping hot I highly recommend Rose's 🌹“

“Jjajangmyeon blacker than your ex's heart.

Tangsuyuk with a crunch that shatters like your heart from that same ex.

I'm really just heart broken knowing it's kind of a trek for me when I'm in Chicago becuase as good as the public transpo is in Chicago I'm in Lakeview and getting to Albany Park takes a while.

The outside looks like a Chinese Bodega in Queens NY, but the inside looks like it's been family owned and operated for decades, which it has, that sort of authenticity can't be faked. With a menu bigger than Cheesecake factories, these chef's run multiple wok's and a mise en place that puts french chefs to shame.

When you think Chinese/Korean, it's quite a 50/50 split with not one more prevelant than the other. When you think Korean you think banchan and kim chi's and pickled daikons, so in that regard it's more Chinese.

Apparently they have gotten some fame from social media, but I've been coming here long before that. Most of the patrons are Asian and all staff are, so your service is gonna be matter of fact. It's not so authentic that there are social mores to the tea pouring. They take your order quick and the food comes out quick, usually everything at once which is great for family sized meals/orders/parties versus date nights where there is conversation in between.

I feel like onions, green onions, carrots and peppers are in everything. I wish they had more xo sauce items becuase you can tell all their sauces are slurry enhanced. Still delicious, bold, thick, great. Prices are very affordable and the portions are plentiful. Fried rice is heavy on the msg and light on the soy sauce. They velvet all their beef, but the beef don't be beefing heavy, but their pork and shrimp are all succulent, soft, juicy without all that bi carb. Their szchewan sauce is something I dip their chicken lolipops in on top of their already sticky glaze. I tend to cut and add vinegar to a few of their dishes which is great.

It's M&P, down home, local. It's a place to bring your family, it's a place to stock your fridge with leftovers. It's the places metro cities are built on, despite it not being in 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!!!“

“Harmony Restaurant absolutely delivered. I ordered the beef Pad Thai, and it was chef’s kiss. Perfectly cooked noodles, tender beef, and a rich, balanced sauce that hit that sweet-savory sweet spot just right. Every bite tasted fresh and full of flavor without being heavy.
I usually take pictures of my food, but I was too busy enjoying it to remember always the sign of a great meal. Harmony lives up to its name with comforting, well-crafted dishes that keep you coming back. Highly recommend, especially if Pad Thai is your go-to.“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“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.“

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

“I was on my way to Panda when I saw this place and thought I’d try it instead - what a great idea! The place is cozy and clean inside, and smells amazing. The manager immediately seated me and offered me some water and hot tea, which was delicious. 5/5 on service and atmosphere

I was 30 minutes late for the lunch special, but he still let me order two (Mongolian beef for me and orange chicken my wife) - both of which he cooked fresh for us. 5/5 on food taste

It took a few minutes longer than fast food and cost me a few extra dollars, but this place is 100% worth it. I don’t think I’ll go to Panda again while I live here! Thank you Hong Huah“

“LOVE this place and low-key consider it a hidden gem. Prices are so reasonable, even after having gone up in January - lunch special is $8. Portions have shrunk some (that's to be expected when prices go up) but it's still enough food to fill you up. Occasionally they'll get something small wrong (fried rice when I asked for white), but everything I've ordered from here is tasty, which is what not only keeps me coming back, but keeps me telling my coworkers about this place.“

“We ordered the shrimp fried rice, orange chicken, and honey shrimp. The fried rice was really good — flavorful with a generous amount of shrimp. The orange chicken was excellent, almost perfect — crispy, saucy, and packed with flavor. The honey shrimp had good flavor too, but the texture was way too hard, likely from being over-battered or double-fried.

Overall, it’s a solid spot for Chinese takeout — good portions, tasty food, and friendly service. Definitely a place I’ll keep in my back pocket for when we’re craving takeout again!“

“Kid-friendliness: It's just a walk in they have great customer service period and I say kid friendliness because they already treats adult customers with great hospitality so a kid doesn't I know make a difference they will treat the children the same if not better good food fast courteous and great mix and match food choices“

“I love this spot. Amazing hot & sour soup, egg drop has good strong flavor, the orange chicken they serve is nice and has a nice spice to it. The shrimp fried rice has very nice size shrimp. The chicken friend rice has a ton of chicken in it too. I really enjoy the fried wings (disconnected) as well, very delicious. I love the gravy from the shrimp with lobster sauce, good amount for shrimp for reasonable price. Always get the house sweet and sour chicken. It's superb. I will keep coming back to shop, lovely service fresh food“

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

“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.“

“Food is very fresh and delicious“

“Love the ambiance inside. Tiki beef is great, just wish it had more glaze on it, but otherwise I love beef on a stick. The egg rolls weren't the best i ever had, but id still eat them again, and the crab rangoon wasnt sweet enough, too much cream cheese, but we'd come back for more! Lovely lady at the front desk, she gave us free almond cookies and i love those things!“

“Scrumptious!!! Huge portions!! Will definitely return!!“

“We visited Fong’s Chinese Restaurant in November with my children when we were in Chicago for my son’s bootcamp graduation. It turned out to be such a warm and pleasant experience.

The service was very good, and the staff was genuinely friendly. We were pleasantly overwhelmed by the big servings—the food was delicious, fresh, and definitely worth the price. The attendant was especially kind; he even offered a small toy to my grandson to help cheer him up when he started crying. They also gifted us a 2026 calendar as a keepsake, which was such a thoughtful touch.

The place was clean, comfortable, and family-friendly, and we truly enjoyed both the food and the environment. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!“

“PERFECT for travelers heading back to a hotel, or looking for a meal on the go - but also so reasonably priced with great potions, this is asmart choice if you want leftovers!I had never had shrimp toast before (which is very sad
Actuallyy) and for a moment i considered eating all of it while my fiance was running inside the pharmacy and then turning around and ordering more. It was PERFECT- and so was everything else!!!
Prices are VERY GOOD
Portions are AMAZING.
THE FOOD WAS SO FRESH.
I seriously would reccomend this for anyone! Tje one thing I will say is that thos amazing place doesnt have dine in and that's the only reason I wouldn't reccomend this to every person on the planet. Hell, if you absolutely need a sit down restaurant - take it to the park! They gave us a TON of condiments, fortune cookies, napkins and silverwear.“

“We were so disappointed today as we've been coming here for years and the food has always been excellent. Today we ordered the Szechuan shrimp and chicken and broccoli lunches. The chicken felt slimy and didn't taste good just like the vegetables. The shrimp lunch was not good either. Both lunches had a weird taste which we believe was due to freezing and reheating which explains why the rice wasn't really good either. The food has always been hot when we get it but today it was just warm. We are unable to finish these lunches. We're hoping that today was just a bad day.“

“Moon Temple has been our family's go to for decades. Up until recently it was my number #1 pick for all things Chinese. Unfortunately, since the change in management we feel it's lost it's edge. The slight changes in recipes/prep is noticeable, especially in the egg rolls, egg foo young, and Singapore rice noodles. I'm all about progress but they were so tried and true.

Don't get me wrong, Moon Temple is still better that most resturants out there but it's sadly lost it's edge over some of it's competitors. In time, I hope they revert back to the things that set them apart.“

“We ordered a large amount of food. Mongolian beef, beef and broccoli, chicken wings,eggrolls, crab rangoon, Singapore style noodles, combo fried rice, beef fried rice. Food was good but the egg rolls had a sour taste. Maybe we got some that were old or not fresh but we wound up throwing them away.“

“Food was pretty good in you're in a pinch, plus they open early. The interior is cozy and neat and their service was quick and amicable. Ordered chicken curry, chicken fried rice, and a couple of eggrolls. The eggrolls were pretty standard and the fried rice was tasty, albeit just a bit too oily, and the chicken curry was fragrant and scrumptious but not as spicy as I would have preferred. Overall, quite decent. Cheers!“

“the scenery is fantastic and the food is so good everything is good there“

“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“

“Been coming here for over 20 yrs love everything best Chinese Food ever totally recommend“

“Best Chinese food I've had in a very long time fried rice was amazing and also General TSO was amazing very generous portions and very well priced dinner special $12 and includes egg roll and drink you don't see that to often anymore. I definitely will be returning.“

“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.“

“My favorite Chinese takeout 🥡 Food is always hot and delicious 😋 been coming here for 4 years and going strong. Food is always fresh and cooked to ordered. Smoothies are a must too. FYI; They only offer take-out and delivery, no dine in.“

“Stopped here after a long day at the hospital and it was just what we needed. We we re e seated right away, the inside was authentic and very classic Chicago Chinese hole in the wall. If youre from Chicago, you know this is a good sign. The server came ans took our order right away, they didnt talk much but again, that doesn't matter when the food is good.

We ordered the Crab Rangoons, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Beef and Broccoli and Egg Foo Young. The Ragoons came out hot ans fresh, the Sweet ans Sour Chicken was cooked perfectly and the fried rice with it was also delicious. The Beef and Broccoli was a little too sweet but still good and the Egg Foo Young was also cooked pretty good, a little burnt but still good. And the side off Egg rolls and egg drop soups were so simple and yet so delicious.

Would definitely come back!“

“Food and service are top notch. Tasty food.“

“Their barbecued pork and roast duck are my favorites. It's a pity that every time I want to buy one, I only buy half of one. It's hard to believe it's such a coincidence. A little weird. Since I can only buy half of one and it’s hard to deal with it, I won’t consider buying it now.“

“I have ordered for years! Always happy!!! My favorite is Chicken with String Beans/no spice. Perfect!! My husband loves Shrimp and Broccoli ,never a problem!!!“

“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!“

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

“Food was cooked perfectly. Large portions and absolutely delicious. Very friendly and fast service! Julie and I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Hoanh Long in North Park is straight fire. Hit it up for lunch – kicked things off with two shrimp spring rolls, then a massive beef pho and spicy lemongrass stir-fry with tofu. Broth legit rich, stir‑fry packed with flavor, and the portions were huge—perfect Chicago-style appetite. Chill café feels, service super friendly, and parking’s doable before 7pm. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Really reasonable must try“

“Absolutely the best Chinese restaurant ever!! The pork fried rice is a 10 star and their pork lo mien is outstanding! As soon as I get back to the Chicago area I make a point to eat here and bring some back with me! I can’t stress enough how delicious their food is!!!“

“This Chinese restaurant is primarily a take out place. We stopped here because we found it on our way. Not knowing it was take out, they only have one small table if you decide to eat in. We ate at the table and the food came fast, piping hot and super tasty! We had Mongolian beef and Kung Paulo Chicken. The meats were soft and well seasoned, and the veggies were hot and crisp. Will return for sure!“
