Tongs Hunan in Northbrook is a fantastic spot for delicious Chinese cuisine! The menu offers a great variety of dishes, from classic favorites to more unique options. The flavors are consistently impressive, with the perfect balance of spices and seasonings.
The service is friendly and efficient, making dining here a pleasant experience. The portions are generous, ensuring you get good value for your money. I particularly enjoyed the Kung Pao Chicken and the Hunan Beef—both were flavorful and cooked to perfection.
The ambiance is cozy and inviting, ideal for a casual dinner with family or friends. The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is that sometimes the wait time can be a bit long, especially during peak hours. However, the quality of the food makes it worth the wait.
Overall, Tongs Hunan is a wonderful choice for anyone craving tasty Chinese food in Northbrook. I’ll definitely be returning!

DO NOT EAT HERE.. They give you less food than you expect and pay for.. They are super expensive also. I give this chinese restaurant 1 star. I ordered 1 large Egg Foo Young... I large beef fried rice ..an order of Spring Rolls.. 36.00.. Very very expensive for a restaurant that gives you smaller portions claiming to be a large size. They most definately are cutting corners giving you less food and charging you a ton of money for food that is awful tasting... I've eaten from many Chinese Restaurants for many years over time.. You know whose food tastes really good and whose doesnt.. This restaurant's food does not taste good at all. In fact... the food tasted really awful... Large Egg Foo Young is always sold with 4 huge paties that comes in a brown sauce only....it comes in white containers when ordered to go. My food from here did not come in white large containers..it came in plastic plate like very shallow containers.. also..really weird ..no brown sauce but a boat load of cheap quality chicken with lots of veggies in my Egg Foo Young which were only 3 small tiny patties half the size that most restaurants sell it like ...The cheap quality chicken they put in the Egg Foo Young containers with veggies tasted like fake rubbery chicken.... The beef in my beef fried rice was also very cheap quality rubbery fake tasting beef. They sold me gross food half the portion size I should have received. The Spring Rollls also not tasty at all ....very bland ..no flavor at all ..nothing.. They're supposed to have a subtle taste..nothing. I will never waste my money here ever again. People that give this place 4-Stars.. All I have to say to you is Wow! Really?! You have no idea what really good Chinese food tastes like.

Awfully slow non-caring service. No smiles here! Sterile environment. Only one other couple was there when we got there and took 15 minutes to get around to taking our order.Awful, bland food. ??Worst Chinese food we have ever had. Just warm, not hot. No crunchy wontons for our soup. We did not take our huge amount of leftovers. Prices too high. I recommend going elsewhere!
