50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Northbrook

“Loved the food here! I went here with friends and family for the first time, very memorable! We went as a larger group of around 12 people. At first the staff told us that we would have to wait 30 minutes, but instead they decided to push a few tables together—so we could sit. It was very kind and thoughtful of them!! I absolutely loved the food, the sanji and dumplings being my absolute favorite! My least favorite dish was the chili pepper chicken, it tasted acidic and me and my friends ate the rice rather the chicken. Its personal preference though, so you might like it! The atmosphere was very nice and personally very cute in numerous ways!“

“Great selection of entrees. Crab Rangoon (yum!)! Super nice family runs it. Friendly service. 4 tables, so primarily take away, and not fancy, but they can accommodate you with a casual seating area if you want to dine in. Great portions, and beautifully cooked. Brown rice as an option, too.“

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

“Almog was. Great waite, check back with us consistently to make sure everything was OK. When I said I didn’t care for that. I plant diet water. He immediately said no problem. I’ll have the manager take it off. Best service I’ve had in a long time.“

“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!“

“Good local food spot for tacos, burritos, quesadillas etc. I went an hour after opening so they didn't have steak or birria available.

Quesadilla was hot fresh and tasted great good cheese to chicken ratio. Salsa was watery so I feel like it didn't pair well with the quesadilla, more like a hot sauce.“

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

“This is an excellent place if you’re in the mood for Chinese food 🍜✨ They offer a wide variety of dishes, so there’s always something tasty to choose from no matter what you’re craving 😋 The food is flavorful, well-prepared, and consistently satisfying 👍 The staff is also very professional and kind, which really adds to the overall experience 😊 You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. It’s a comfortable spot to enjoy a good meal with great service all around ❤️ Definitely a place I’d recommend and come back to again 🥢🔥“

“Food is delicious. Excellent service.“

“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 guy that answered the phone and took my order could have sounded like he was interested or at least a little bit friendly. Other than that I do have to say they're sweet and sour chicken is probably the best around. They're fried rice is also delicious. It's been a while since I was there so when I go back I'll update on the next dish that I get. All in all it's definitely good food.“

“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“

“The food is good but make sure to check your bag I tipped and asked her did she put soy sauce in the bag and she said yes knowing she didn’t and I have a large shrimp fried rice for little ones and no sauce ugh I’m more mad at the lie if it was a accident then ok but for me ask and tip and not get what I asked for is a slap in the face!“

“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!“

“Quiet hole in the wall spot with some of the best food in the area. The owner is kind and works really hard to make quality food. A lot of Chinese American restaurants can have a sort of mass produced feel and use the same suppliers but you can tell a lot of love and pride goes into the food here.“

“This place is one of the best restaurants I've been to in the northern suburbs, it's hard to find good Sichuan style Chinese food but this place has it. I got the twice cooked chili fish was my favorite dish, the Mongolian beef had thick cuts of tender beef and seafood garlic fried rice was full of shrimp scallops mussels and fish. The menu has so much to choose from, I look forward to visiting again“

“Kind of expensive. Cabbage with a few drops of bacon $16.. two small spicy hotpot fish didn't taste so fresh sliced into 4 filets $50. Overall atmosphere is good and clean and plates are brought out by robots first before the server put them on the table. Overall probably would go back again but not ordering those two items.“

“No complaints - food/service is excellent!“

“Authentic Chinese cuisine, orders for takeout is fast & accurate. The food is tasty. But stick to Chinese food selection. I made a mistake ordering pad Thai shrimp and it didn’t taste good. The shrimp is good but not the pad Thai noodles and sauce that goes with it.“

“First time and we will definitely be back! Everything was delicious. Starting veggie spring rolls. 2nd pan fried pork pot stickers. Small pork fried rice, and lastly Beef and pea pods. All cooked perfectly. Had enough food for 2 dinners for both of us! Reasonably priced too.“

“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“

“BEST CHINESE FOOD IN ILLINOIS“

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

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

“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!!!!!“

“Really reasonable must try“

“Yum. I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl. And their jjajjang and jjampong and kampoong shrimp is fire. I love their everything but these Korean Chinese dishes! Palbochae and yusanseul so good too and the owner and brother in kitchen are the sweetest humans!“

“Great food, my wife and I had the Hunan beef and Beef fun. Very delicious wel portioned and not at all oily. Very flavorful. Staff is cordial snd helpful. Hope this restaurant stays open for a long time, definately will be going back. YUM!“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“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:)“

“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.“

“The athmosphere is clean, organized, quiet, fine dining & excellent food“

“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 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.“

“I’ve been ordering takeout from China Town Restaurant for a while, and they never disappoint. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the food always tastes fresh. The egg rolls are crispy and definitely worth ordering.“

“I came here specifically for the Orange Chicken, and it did not disappoint at all. The sauce is perfectly balanced—not too sweet, not too sour—and the chicken stays crispy even after being coated. Portion size is generous, and the staff is very welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back again.“

“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 is one of my go to places for authentic Chinese food! Their egg rolls and orange chicken are delicious with Great portions at a reasonable price. My waiter was super friendly and always tried to create conversation with us. Highly recommend this place!“

“I would come here a lot because before I became disabled to do anything I would come here while my clothes are drying and I want something to eat. Chinese food is amazing.

The only thing that they could work on is how cold and hot the restaurant would get and the tables need to be more friendly for overweight people that probably come to the restaurant sometimes or disabled people like myself as I could never get inside the tables properly (I'm big but me being obese isn't the reason that I'm disabled in the first place)

So 4 out of 5 stars for this one.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I feel they have an old school chinese restaurant vibe with a tasty american and szechwan menu. It’s true that their menu is different, there used to be more american chinese, but they made a smaller menu and added dishes that looks more authentic szechwan. We ordered kung pao chicken, ma po tofu, and cucumber salad. We have been customers for several years and even though the menu has changed they have always been delicious. we paid $58 for food for 3-4 people. *edit to 4 stars: we only got one rice for two entrees (kung pao and ma po) and there feels like a lot of salt, like more than usual?“

“good food, bad website. can't see pics of dishes to make online order.“

“$40 per person seems pricey for a buffet but the quality of food is top tier. It is totally worth it. They have quality meat and a variety of food items to choose from! Dim sum, sushi, stir fry, seafood tastes fresh, crab legs, oysters, crepes…“

“Best kosher sushi in Chicago.“

“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!“

“Great food, great atmosphere“
