21 Best Chinese Restaurants near North Chicago

“I came specifically for the shrimp toast this is the only place that has it. I searched Waukegan/zion/beach park/kenosha no where to be found. This was so good! I had it in DC and it was comparable. The pot stickers are thick dumplings and made fresh.Egg roll was good but don’t know if I tasted shrimp in it which is listed is included on the menu. Crab Rangoon I would prefer the crab cut up and mixed with the cream cheese and a little more flavor and chicken teriyaki sticks not enough flavor a little dry.Overall though I would definitely return and would like to try more menu items. We started eating right away so pics are not as aesthetically pleasing.“

“I'm passing through the area and looking for something to eat I found this place and I wanted to try I came for chicken wings but they didn't have them so I bought some rice with shrimp to try and the truth is it's really good I ended up eating it all ?“

“Very fresh...Very delicious....great service!!!“

“I haven't taste my order shrimp egg food young, but if it's as good and tasty as the orange chicken, the broccoli cook perfectly just how I like it cooked, also the steam rice also perfectly not over or under cooked or sticking together just the way I liked! I'm not from here just a overnighter I'll be coming back the next time here in Zion, Illinois.“

“Amazing customer service! We arrived late to pick up an Uber take out order and realized they were closed upon on arrival, regardless the cashier noticed us and gave us our order. We have ordered very often from them and they never disappoint! Food is delicious and their staff is always kind. They also use reusable bags for orders. 10/10“

“What a great experiences! The food was amazing! The family enjoyed themselves in the beautiful restaurant and wonderful staffs! Definitely reminded my daughters of grandma's cooking! 🫰“

“Ive only been here once so take my review with a grain of salt but I have to say, this is one of those "food>environment" establishments where the heart and purpose is in the food. I had ordered the Kung Pao Chicken w/ Rice. I waited about 7-10 minutes in the lobby waiting for my food. I loved that my container was full to the top but do have to note that I wish the meat to rice ratio was a bit more balanced, but nonetheless, not enough to knock off a star. What I also did note that was different, was that my chicken was mixed in within my rice instead of how I've been accustomed to, which is receiving it in 2 separate portions. Which in no way is to be taken as a negative, I just thought It was different and gave the meal a sense of solidarity throughout the flavors which really let the sauces stand out and play their role really well. Going back to what I had said about the food slightly overshadowing the environment, I firmly believe that the food here is made with love as it seems to be family owned and operated, but I would love to see some improvements to the dining room and hospitality. But then again, I do understand that this is one of those 'in the cut" hidden gems that capitalize & rely on their faith in their good wholehearted food, which I do not blame at all. I definitely do see myself coming back and am excited to try out the rest of the items there. I give it 4 stars as I cannot in good faith give it 5 without trying their pepper steak or orange chicken but look more than forward to updating it in the future.“

“The people running this place are so kind and nice.Everytime we've come here, the food comes out so fast and tastes amazing!100% recommend cherry pork and their amazing crunchy egg rolls, best I've had!Look forward to our next visit.“

“I want to thank Tony for bringing the finest and most delicious Szechuan cuisine to the North Shore. I live downtown and have visited his restaurants in Chinatown and Michigan Ave. The food is exception each and every time I go to either location. When the "coming soon" sign popped up in Highland Park, I could not have been more thrilled, considering the food at our local chinese restaurants refuse to raise the bar on their food. There is no better Szechuan restaurant in the Chicago area or beyond. The food, the staff, and the service are all exceptional and executed with perfection and passion. This has been the most anticipated opening on the northshore for a reason. Lao is simply unbeatable. I love it love it LOVE IT!!!!!“

“Food is always delicious and the service is great. Can get a bit crowded during prime dinner hours but there's always take out if you'd like to eat at home

Parking: Plenty of spots to park including handicap near the door

Wheelchair accessibility: The curb has been modified to allow wheelchair“

“I have been a customer since early 1990's and now I drive from Racine WI for your food and am never disappointed. This trip, Beef Chop Suey, Combo Fried Rice, Chicken Egg Rolls and Vegetable Egg Foo Young, as always the food was delicious, portions were large and service was very friendly. Thank you for continuing with the great food quality and service that you have been known for!“

“Y’all gotta try this place there food is soo good everything on there menu is good I’ve been gone here for 5 years and the customer service has been amazing and the food aswell if you like Chinese food this is the place not to expensive everything is for a great price !!“

“Been going here for since I've lived in zion. Hands down the best Chinese food in town, and there's not a close 2nd. They are even nice enough to cater to my wife's allergies so she can also enjoy their food. Sne normally can't have takeout from any Chinese spot but she absolutely can from here. Will always give them my business based on that fact alone.“

“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.“

“This place remains our go-to location in Highland Park. There are other, larger restaurants with Asian cuisine, but Jade has been a favorite for several years now.Features: Not sure if they are yet open for seating inside post-Covid. Their "stop outside the door for pickup" policy during Covid was very effective.

Parking: Limited parking in front of the location, but a larger lot is available next door behind the neighboring building to the east.“

“Great food. will definitely recommend“

“This fast food restaurant is always a good place to eat in or carryout Chinese cuisine my boys really loved coming here and enjoy specially those days when we are busy and we have not time to cook at home. This place is clean. Food flavors are good. Affordable prices and friendly employees????????“

“Sweet & Sour Chicken has the classic flavors, big portion of 14 pieces. Egg roll is large in size and delicious, with peanut butter flavor, included with the $10.75 price + a massive portion of pork fried rice is very tasty, easily 2 meals worth of food. Good crunch chicken batter and egg roll. Best quality and value for the price, I will order from them again, a new favorite.“

“this was our first time here we thought we were going to dine in but The dining room is closed. It was never reopened after Covid. We had the orange chicken, which was really tough. Don’t know if it was old but the shrimp fried rice and chicken sweet-and-sour was very good. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“Excellent Chinese Food. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants at North suburbs of Chicago area, particularly the one at Vernon Hills. Food is delicious, each time I ordered carry out, they all packed very well too. Definitely recommend.“

“We recently visited Panda Express and tried their Teriyaki Chicken. It was absolutely delicious—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked! The portion was generous, and the sauce added just the right amount of sweetness. Our server, Yulia, was amazing—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her excellent service truly stood out. We will definitely come back to enjoy more delicious meals here!“
