50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Northbrook

“Never have gotten anything bad here. today got potstickers and house lomein“

“It’s a great go-to place where I often pick up on Tuesday nights. The food is ready 10 to 15 minutes after I order it over the phone. The lady who takes the order and gives me the food to-go is unfailingly pleasant and always smiles. We love their Mongolian beef, and enjoy their egg rolls, hot & sour soup and wonton soup. Never a bad meal. All delicious with generous portions and a fair price.“

“Had a reservation and they sat us fairly close to time. We had to ask for a server after about another 5-10 minutes of sitting and waiting. Food was good, but came out staggered. The actual frustration came mostly when we were sitting around after the meal and all the dishes were left at our table for about 10 to 20 minutes, nobody picked them up. Food was good and portions were decent.“

“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.“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“I’ve lived all over, traveled throughout the U.S., and tasted a lot of tacos… And I can say that the tacos here are absolutely some of the best in the country. It’s crazy that they’re so good. Very highly recommended. The birria tacos are amazing.“

“Very friendly atmosphere on top of their great food.“

“One word: Eggrolls! Unlike any others in most Chinese restaurants-- the spices and the peanut butter are the secret. For those who remember Pekin House on Devon, very similar eggrolls. I am so happy to have found this take out restaurant and I look forward to trying other dishes on their menu.... but I will most certainly always order some eggrolls to go. Delicious!“

“Food is delicious. Excellent service.“

“This spot has some great dishes, but the standout for me is their gun poong chicken. Enjoy a plate full of drumsticks that are crispy on the outside and soft inside, covered in a spicy sauce and a side of rice. Be sure to ask for extra napkins.“

“This was my first time in Glencoe to watch a show at Writer’s Theater, and I stopped by this place for a meal before the show. It seems to be the only Chinese restaurant in the entire town and also one of the few places both open at night and relatively affordable.

My friend and I ordered the Walnut Shrimp Special and Sauteed Green Beans. We were told it would take 30 minutes, so we sat inside to wait, and the food came out right on time and piping hot. You can’t dine in the restaurant though, as they don’t have a dining license.

9 times out of 10, Chinese takeout will always hit for me, and Shanghai Garden was no exception. The green beans were flavorful and well-sauteed. The walnut shrimp had a nice crispy texture, tangy taste, and also came with broccoli and crispy noodle pieces.

The portions are large for the price and they also included a large box of rice with our order. For just $15 per person, we had a good amount of leftovers. Overall great value, tasty food, generous portions, friendly service— I would love to return if I’m in the area again!

“No complaints - food/service is excellent!“

““Palace Cantonese is a hidden gem that deserves all the hype.”

The Beef Egg Fu Young? Absolute perfection — fluffy, rich, and full of flavor in every bite. The Spicy Beef Fried Rice? Simply amazing… the kind of dish that keeps you coming back over and over. And don’t even get me started on the Veggie Egg Rolls — golden, crispy, and packed with fresh flavor.

Every plate feels like comfort food done right, with that authentic Cantonese taste that hits both tradition and satisfaction. The portions are generous, the flavors bold, and the service makes you feel at home.

This isn’t just dinner — it’s a food experience worth sharing.

“SOOOOO GOOD! I had this restaurant for the first time today and it was amazing. We had it delivered and it was steaming hot when it was delivered and delivery was super quick and efficient. I am definitely going to be recommending this place to other people. The orange chicken is amazing!“

“Very happy that found this place has reopened. We used to come here for lunch and dinner, there is no other Asian restaurant in north shore we feel good to enter to eat. The menu with varieties and many Asian popularities dishes. Think this may be comparable from south Canal street China Town and the best one in the north shore neighborhood.

Parking: there is plenty free parking spaces.“

“I grew up in Brunei and their food is the closest i have felt to home. I ordered the Nasi Lemak, kuih lapis and roti paratha.“

“The best food around!
I am a FAN of chinese food, but no where around suburbs and chicago will you find such FRESH food! Veggies are perfectly done, meat is perfectly cooked! Sauce is amazing taste! I had their Happy Family Dish , Chicken fried rice and Khan Pau Chicken .
Please try this place!

Parking: Plenty of safe , free parking“

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

“BEST CHINESE FOOD IN ILLINOIS“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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“

“Our Family has been going to Lucky Wok for years. Cannot say enough about how fast the team is to get you what you need and address any issues you may have with your order. So glad they are so close and so diligent with their service. Can't say I've seen this level of service since I used to go to old Orange Garden on Irving 25 years ago. Congrats on the having an amazing team.“

“This was our first time ordering and it didn't disappointed. We will be back for more.“

“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!“

“I LOVE Little Lans. I’m so happy to be in the area, I won’t go anywhere else for Chinese food or sushi! I highly recommend checking out their new sushi menu. I feel pretty lucky to know about this place, I’ve been a huge fan since my first visit in 1996.“

“Tasty food with decent quality. Mild spice level and American Chinese food. They have some interesting items on their menu which are really good.
While there are some seats available if someone decides to dine in, but this is a take out place. Highly recommend for the quality of ingredients and good oil they use.“

“Really reasonable must try“

“The food here is sensational. I ordered the orange chicken and it was around $8. That is an incredible price. My mouth was watering before I had my first bite. The food was so good I had to edge and I could barely control my urges. I 100% recommend and I will be coming back:)“

“My favorite Chinese take out spot in all of Highland Park (and it’s conveniently located a walk away for me)! The General Tso's chicken dinner is my go-to menu item (it even comes with a roll). The chicken Pad Thai is pretty solid too.“

“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!!!!!“

“WOW! We loved take-out from ChinaTown Restaurant in Morton Grove. We tried:-lechón kawa li: crispy, delicious, addictive-scallion pancake: delicious, great to dip in a sauce-beef/chinese broccoli chow fun: delicious combo of crunchy broccoli with tender beef. Delicious wide noodles.-egg rolls: good! but compared to other dishes, not my favorite.A great value-we'll likely get five servings out of this. It's not a fancy place, but I liked to see, when we picked up our food, how the team at the restaurant worked together.Check them out!“

“This is the hole in the wall place with very good food.
One of the problems here is the women taking orders, they are very rude. I wanted the walnut shrimp and she told me that it takes too long to make and I shouldn’t order that dish because she was so busy.
Another time my friend asked her for two cups of water and the woman rolled her eyes and walked away then sent the other rude woman over to gives us the cups of water.
This restaurant is very busy, they have so many phone orders. The dinning are has 3-4 tables and it’s very dirty in there.“

“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.“

“It has really good light and crispy soy garlic sauce or spicy honey and 4 other flavors. But a bit salty that it needs a side of rice. The jajjang myun ( lack bean paste noodles) were good esp bc they had a choice or vegetarian and it’s so nice to have this option bc most places make the sauce w pork. Thank you. Open seating inside Hmart. Yummy but please less salt in the crispy chicken. Thank you.“

“We have been going to Chinatown Kitchen since their kids were little and now they are in college. The food has always been fresh and delicious. Takeout area always clean and you can see an area of kitchen same way. We have certain preferences that we do not want put into the food and we are very happy the results and the tastes. Have on occasion, friends, tried other places, but always went back to Chinatown Kitchen. Like a good marriage why go somewhere else if you are happy there?!!!!!“

“This place is the best in the area! The beef is tender, the sweet and sour chicken isn't dried out, their salt and pepper shrimp is phenomenal! They have Taiwanese mai fun that are one of the best I've tried! Their egg foo young is savory and full of veggies! Beef chow fun is delicious! I can go on and on! I highly recommend ordering from here! The owner is super friendly too!“

“Delicious fresh hot meal with excellent service and less than the cost of fast food. I highly recommend this restaurant and wish I lived closer, I'd be there often!

Parking: Hit or miss on street parking, especially during Biden's build back better spree.“

“Great, hot, fresh food. Authentically prepared. Old school atmosphere. Over the last few years, this place changed hands and took a beating from reviewers. All I know is I've continued to come throughout their transition and today at lunch was the best I've had. Accept their niche and you'll agree that they earn about 5 stars. Massive takeout biz sometimes gets in the way of the dining room, but not today at lunch. Oh, and the lunch specials are bountiful and served till 3pm. Beef Almond Ding, Fried rice, H&S soup included. Worth adding a traditional egg roll. Prepared, seasoned and rolled perfectly. I'm a sucker for pot stickers and the fried didn't disappoint either. I'll come again... Before 3:00, and enjoy a feast.

Dietary restrictions: They make food to order mask for what you need and be specific, and ask it to be repeated to assure you're understanding one another.“

“I’ve ordered take out for a while but finally dined in. I love the complimentary spicy cabbage appetizer. I recommend the dry chili chicken and the hot wok style beef.“

“We have been regulars here for over a year now. Food is fabulous as always. The traditional Chinese decorations brings another sense of cultural immersion here. If you want to try some authentic Chinese food, give Yu’s a try. When you see Asian people dining here, you know it must be good lol“

“Classic cozy Asian buffet. Crabs offered on Sunday so the whole place is packed. Had a wait time of at least about 20-30 minutes. New crabs came out about 52 minutes after the tray was set. Food was okay for buffet quality. Fair diversity in selection of food. I only go with my parents since it is one of their favorite buffets for the crabs and price. Price was just around 20 per adult before tax. Drinks, other than water, cost extra and you have to ask staff for a refill.“

“My experience was both positive and negative. The food was pricey but well worth it since you can get 2 or 3 meals out of it. My wife's sesame chicken had an abundance or sweet and sour sauce. Too much for her taste. My shrimp eggs foo young was great along with the egg rolls. My pickup experience was terrible. The sign says "ring the bell"to notify them you're there. After 3 rings and 5 minutes with no response I called them to let them know I was there. They finally came out, no apology just pushed the order thru the plastic and sign the receipt. Not even a thank you. I trust this rudeness was just the result of a bad day and not par for the course.“

“This is my third or fourth time picking up here and the food has always been ready on time, handed over with a smile, and always delicious. Portions are very generous. Photos of my dinner include egg rolls, chicken fried rice, and beef pan fried noodles with vegetables. Definitely deserves higher ratings.“

“Every meal at Great Chicago is a great meal!“

“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!“

“My salt and pepper shrimp was excellent There was a large portion and I had speedy earlier than expected delivery. I give it 4.5 stars.“

“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.“

“I am not local, this is a regular go-to place for a friend, so when I visit with her, she wants to bring me. I had a Chinese Eggplant with chicken dish, flavorful and spicy. Also had some nigiri sushi, all very good. The Black Tobiko was plentiful and fresh. The Tamago and Inari, which are types of sushi that are deceptively simple seeming but really show a chef's knowledge and artistry, were excellent. I'm sure I will go again.“

“Best Indo Chinese tasted so far in Chicago area. Love the food very much“
