I can’t even take a picture of the food because I ate it all, it smelled so good. If you want fast, fresh and savory food, def come here! You barely need soy sauce and the food is so warm, very comforting. Thankful for their speedy service and active listening“

“I wish they would add tofu to the menu. Everything else was great. Great service, generous portion, very fair price. Nice dining area. If you are in a hurry, they have a drive-through. This is the first Chinese restaurant I have seen with a drive-through. Nice!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! 🫰“

“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!“

“We order from here from time to time. We like the consistency and good taste. My family was out and I was on my own recovering from a surgery and felt like treating myself so I figured “ let’s get a bit fancy and order PF Chang”. What a huge mistake that was. The beef with Broccoli had les than 2 oz of beef for $30. I have included a comparison between Hunan Palace’s beef with vegetables vs what I received from PF. Hunan Palace blows PF away! Additional I have had very good luck requesting modifications, I like extra spicy and extra sauce, Human honored my request while PF did not. I think the pics tell all“

“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!!!!!“

“I was at the Genesee theater, watching “The Nutcracker” and after the show ended, I decided to get a bite somewhere nearby. that’s when I stumbled upon China Garden Restaurant! luckily there was no line they took my order within seconds and the food came out within minutes. The lady who took my order was very nice and patient with me since it was my first time there. It was really delicious!!!! I had number #10 - the chicken and broccoli (pictured below) .“

“I enjoyed my experience. Vivien really went above and beyond to anticipate our needs. The food was good. We ordered three different chicken dishes: Cashew Chicken, Chicken and Broccoli, and lemon Chicken. All of them tasted unique. Their YanYan Special rice was great and had a good amount of shrimp. The over all experience was to my liking.“

“Great food. will definitely recommend“

“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.“

“They didn’t have the meats I wanted but were adamant that it was going to be only a couple minutes. They were very friendly when talking to us so we stayed and waited. For some reason these were the two best tasting meats I’ve had at panda. We go a lot, so this is saying a lot. Might just have been the freshness from coming right off the kitchen, but it was fantastic.“

“This Location Gets a 10/10 from me, This is Hands Down the best location to come and get your food from! The staff is super friendly & professional, it is convenient how you can order online for pick up, and they treat they're employees really well, Overall this is a wonderful business and I would recommend stopping by if your in the area too grab yourself some of the best Chinese food out there!“

“This is a takeout-only spot, as all the tables and chairs have been removed. That said, I really enjoyed the food. You can tell it was prepared with care, and the quality exceeded my expectations, especially given some of the mixed reviews. The ingredients were fresh, and the food was served piping hot, which made for a great meal.“

“Food was excellent hot and sour soup was hot and sour steamed dumplings were great eggrolls were super good no complaints. The staff was on point getting water all the time multiple people came by to bust the table take away dishes as we use them up no complaints here.“

“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.“
