5 Best Chinese Restaurants near Mundelein

“Omg, the food here was so amazing! And we are very picky as asian foodies. Went here for my bday and they even did the cutest thing with putting a candle on a stack of almond cookies with fortune cookes surrounding it to sing to me. The waiter was polite and the wife of the cook, which I assume is also the owner, was extremely warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back and reccomend to our friends.“

“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.“

“Best in the area! Alway fresh, hot & tasty! Beef lo mein-Cantonese style is my fav, beef is always tender and moist- and tastes like beef. Chicken fried rice is my chaser, tender chunks of chicken tastes great w/ a lil Soy sauce. *Egg rolls are made in store, fresh- many places have frozen ones shipped in. The only issue I encounter (Agee times) w/ the eggs rolls is they tend to overcook (look burnt) them, not a deal breaker but Hong Kong please take note *Pick-up only at this time due to COVID C***!“

“My more 'local' favorite Chinese take out place closed around 9 months ago (Chens in Palatine) and I've been looking for a new one since - after trying a dozen+ restaurants, I think this is the winner! It's a bit of a hike from lake zurich, but so worth it for good Chinese food! (I ordered our usual favorites: sesame chicken, pork lo mein, steamed dumplings, egg roll (and one that I don't always order with my kids, hot and sour soup). I have other favorites, but those ones are the "bare minimum" of "must be great")

(The Lo Mein - top right in the pic - is the one thing that I have been searching for someone else to get right since my last place closed.)

I also love that for the entree, for a small upcharge, you can swap the standard included white rice for a side of fried rice, or lo mein. We rarely ate much if any of the rice, but we will eat fried rice (lo mein as well, but I usually order that as a second entree!)“

“I have gotten food from here many times. It’s always great. The owner is so nice and really cares about providing his customers great food. But yesterday I got the won ton soup for the first time, and I can honestly say, it is the BEST wonton soup I have ever had.“
