“The food is absolutely delicious. Fast, convenient, and oh so much flavor! I had the fried chicken steak jianbing and we also tried the original egg waffle and salted egg yolk waffle. Very excited to have them in the neighborhood and already can't wait to stop in again.“
“The Peking duck three ways is the absolute move. The fried rice is good The egg rolls are excellent and the Chinese broccoli and bok choy are the bomb. They were low on beers as far as selection but everything else is always top notch here. Make sure you get a reservation because they can sell out of duck fairly quickly“
“We went to furama for dim sum & drag! delicious dishes with lots of vegetarian options and fun drinks. Beautiful big room, perfect for the event! Employees were helpful and accommodating for dietary restrictions. Will definitely be returning!“
“Also known as Asawon, my family has been coming to Peking Mandarin for decades. This is one of the few remaining classic Chinese-Korean restaurants that serve a lot of Chinese-American food and a handful of Chinese-American dishes that are enormously popular among Koreans. They also serve excellent champong, a classic spicy seaweed soup that is not too dissimilar to menudo, sans the tortillas. The trio of dishes we usually get are the spicy chicken wings aka lollipop wings (also available in boneless pork here), sweet and sour chicken (tan sauce, vs. the orange sauce in the American Chinese version), and black bean noodles. Last time we also threw in Mongolian Beef, which was surprisingly outstanding. Not sure if it was just a lucky day but the beef was infused with a smoky wok hei, unlike most Mongolian Beef dishes that are usually kind of watery and bland. I also like the black mushrooms & tofu, a classic Chinese American dish. The popular wings can sometimes be a little overcooked but the thick spicy sauce is usually on point. The primary competitor, Great Seas down the street, might have slightly better wings in a thinner more nuanced sauce, but the black bean noodles here are more generously sauced and slightly better, I think. I go back and forth between which restaurant that I prefer. My spouse prefers Great Seas wings but my family prefers Peking Mandarin for the other dishes and overall. They have large tables and are used to serving large groups, especially on weekends. The service is just fair and can be almost non-existent when they are busy. Be patient and bring cash. The decor is outdated but people here are regulars who come for the food, not to be impressed by interior design. This is one of the Chicago pillar restaurants devoted to food, not trends. I feel like those keep closing - let's keep this one open.Parking: Parking can be tight - we usually manage to find a spot in the diag spaces on St. Louis south of Lawrence.“
“Genuinely my favorite hole-in-the-wall in all of Chicago. We don't need to talk about how much I've been here - it would embarrass you because you've never been that committed to anything. You don't go here to hang; you go here to slap exactly $17 in cash on the counter, tell them you came to pick up a large order of BBQ pork fried rice, and then leave to go and house that on your own because you deserve it goddammit. Seriously though, this place has no vibe, just take your magical tasting food and go home with it. They put all their effort into flavor and don't need to be bothered by how their restaurant made your insta story look. This also may seem expensive for fried rice, but this is some of the best stuff in the city, and one order is easily two meals - they heap the portions so big that it barely fits in the container Note: There's an ATM if you forgot cash“
“Had a great experience my first time here. Food was delicious, portions were huge, and the service was phenomenal!! Service is what really stood out to me. Also they were very fast and gave a complimentary cookie and fortune cookie with the check. Highly recommended ! Try the combination rice can't go wrong.“
“Great hand made noodles, price was very reasonable for the dish I got, and the room was cute and well kept. It's not fancy fine dining, with all the extra fluff but it was a great place to pop in for dinner from the hotel I was staying at around the corner.“
“delicious, consistent, good portions, hole in the wall. their orange chicken is a bit different from panda but in my opion, better, especially if you order them spicy. very friendly staffs too, if you don't know what you want they can always make great recommendations.“
“Finally made it here last Saturday. I was expecting to encounter overhyped food but was gladly mistaken. Everything we had was fresh to order. I do not have any complaints. We will definitely be going back to try other items. I have tried many Asian restaurants and have been mostly let down. This restaurant and Wah Sun are the only restaurants I will go to.“
“Great food! We have only had it delivered, have not been in the restaurant. Very satisfied with the food and time to prepare it. Fresh ingredients with lots of flavor and big portions! Have been happy with everything we've ordered and have ordered several times. Highly recommend for delivery or pick-up, cannot speak to sit-down experience.“
“Sooo fantastic! I asked for wonton soup..Korean wings & spring rolls. I'll say that I will be a FOREVER customer now..the wings were the BEST I've ever had,so crunchy and the seasoning was spot on~the flavor was mmmmMMmm also ,the soup tasted like it was JUST made.. i was really happy when i saw that i was given rice as well! ..most importantly for me, this food was REALLY clean and by that I mean -ingredients that were selected & prepared with intent..no "after taste" no grease..just delicious homemade honest food! Thank you!Parking: Wouldn't ever be an issue“
“Returning tomorrow after about ten years or more. The restaurant is very tight between tables so it wasn’t handicapped friendly for my late mother who loved this place prior to being on a wheelchair, which is one reason why we stopped going there. Cleanliness was another issue, especially the washroom. I hope the restaurant has improved.“

“I’ve been getting food from here (mostly carry out) for more than 10 years and the food is still delicious! One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. My husband loves their pho, my son loves their pork over rice, and my favorite is the sate soup and noodles. The staff there are very nice too! Thank you Hoanh Long!Just writing this review is making me hungry! hehe“
“We had dinner after a long day and we wanted something easy and delicious. The staff here is always kind and hospitable.Their take on General Tsoa and Orange chicken are fantastic. Dinner portions are always enough for almost two meals.Great neighborhood Chinese restaurant!“
“So, Im a very picky person especially with my food but I will try anything onetime if I don't like it I will never purchase it again. I have to say after reading the reviews it's definitely a must buy. Im literally addicted to this food as of right now. It is soooooo good and always fresh. The service is quick and the lady at the front desk is always so kind and respectful. I would recommend anyone to go get a bite. Thank you for your service and good original food.“
“20 February 2024 on vacation from MI. While staying in a hotel, less than 2 miles away, I had a taste for Chinese. I google, searched for some tasty authentic chinese food. Happy I came across Hoa-My. The food was surprisingly good. I had the dinner special shrimp in garlic sauce#12. I really liked the beef fried rice, very tasty. The owner was very friendly.“
“This place is LIT. I am so picky and such a food snob, this place has a great level of spice, great flavors, every single thing I got was good. A little on the pricey side, wish portions for price were a little bigger, but SO good. Will be coming back.“
“Our go-to when we want a bunch of chinese takeout. Fair prices, big portions, always fast and hot. The dinner combos are a good deal and can stretch to 2 meals easily. We stick with classics like sesame chicken, egg rolls, and the chicken wings.“
“The food was delicious. It was just not clear about their menu; there were none at the restaurant so there were discrepancies between what I saw online and what I was told I could order. While waiting 12 year olds came in and out with ice cream bars and I couldn't see where they got them from. Glencoe is bizarre.“
“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.“
“The Beef Chow Mein was tasty but came with a small amount of little noodles that were fried. I think more detailed descriptions & pictures of their offerings online would’ve made this situation avoidable, as I’ve typically had to request for the noodles to be fried and the default is fresh “
“My family loves Ho Ho! We've been ordering from here for over 20 years. Even my children enjoy the food now. It's exciting that they recently added new items to the menu. We've tried many noodle dishes, rice dishes, and appetizers. Ho Ho has one of the best hot sauces! We will continue to order from here a few times a month.“
“best chinese food you will ever get i’ve grown up with this place and it is absolutely fabulous! The customer service is incredible and the food is outstanding I have not yet been to a place that’s better then Hunan star I truly don’t believe there is a better chinese cuisine better then this!“
“What I had was very good. Has no atmosphere at all. Reminds me of a military chow hall. Has very large menu to choose from. I generally judge Chinese restaurants by its customers. If its full of Asians , eat there, if not, go somewhere else.“
“Damn fine restaurant, probably the best Chinese food in glenview. Highly recommend. I got crab rangoons, spring rolls, spicy calamari and the sweet and sour fish. Food was authentic and delicious. Will definitely come againVegetarian options: Lots of tofu options“
“Food was great. Ate on location with colleagues first. Pass the taste test. Talked to Yan. She was very friendly and helpful with my catering questions. Ordered catering for 80 people. Delivery was on time. Food received great review. It was more than enough to feed 80. Will cater again in the future.“
“If you want the best food down in highland Park you should definitely try this place out honestly God I've been going here for years I just moved farther away so now I got to take a trip to get out here to to get the best Chinese food ever I love their combination rise or fried rice I love the sweet and sour chicken and I just like everything on the menu to be honest my family loves going here I always love going here again I just would like 2 hours away so I can't come here often but when I do The guide knows who the heck I am and ask about what's been happening besides that is the best service ever get they're quick fast and would recommend this to anybody and everybody“
“Visited Chicago and was introduced to the owners and owners son through my mentor. We were able to try their peking duck, chow fun, and bbq braided pork and wonton soup. My personal favorite was the wonton soup but everything tasted amazing. The owners were extremely kind and hospitable and we were able to drink a sip of wine with the owner and some of the locals. I could tell it's a community based restaurant and all the locals were coming here to eat some good Chinese food. I really had an amazing time. Shout-out to Mike and his family!“
“Extensive selection of Kosher Sushi Rolls (hot and cold) and Bowl styles, including Chirashi and Poke. Miso soup was salty, but the rolls did not disappoint. Very generous portions, to say the least. The fish was excellent, fresh and generous cut, and vegetables were fresh. Small seating area with a Sushi bar. Corner space. I had the "Kate," Roll and Mom had a Hamachi and Avocado Roll. Got to meet Kate as a bonus.They also have a Kosher Chinese selection. I could not believe how many to-go orders went out the door in the short time we were there.“

“We ordered for a party of 20 ladies and the food was absolutely delicious! They were so courteous and made the food exactly as we asked! Thank you wile will definitely be ordering again! Amazing food and serviceVegetarian options: Manchurian medallions, garlic tofu/paneer, eggplant schezwan, burnt garlic rice“
“This place has great lunch specials, and for a little more, you can do the same for dinner specials. They have huge fried chicken wings that are so good, very crispy but tender and juicy. The delivery people are Lee's Wok staff, and I've never had an issue with the delivery. This is not a place to dine in, so there is not much atmosphere, but really, this is a pick-up or delivery place, but it's worth it.Vegetarian options: They can make almost anything vegetarian. I'm not a vegetarian, but I love the veggie egg foo young.Parking: This is part of a lot with several businesses, but you can find parking since most businesses there are pick-up and go.“
“Came to eat while waiting for the line at the Aragon to dwindle. The lemon shrimp taste like lemon cake, I know you're wondering HOW. I can't explain it, but it was great culinary wise. Alongside the shrimp I asked for spicy seasoning, just to try. It worked well! So with or without the spicy seasoning it's a hit. The boiled fish was amazing! Filling and taste great. I'm thinking about it now, I would highly recommend. Low lights, great music, good decor and very nice staff. The food came rather quickly and they were extremely pleasant and nice. We were in kind of late and I apologize for not thinking to much at quicker, it could have been an earlier night for you all, I am sorry. Will be back for more !!“
“Great food & service. Their food is so delicious. My 5-year-old ordered 3 dishes & ate by himself. Definitely, kids will love this place. The Mayo Seau Shrimp is my favorite.My son loves the Jaengban-Jjajang & ordered it as non spicy.“
“Ordered the Phoenix and the Vegetable Maki off the happy hour menu. The Itamae (sushi master) was very sweet & working really hard. She made the experience way better.Ambiance was great, too. Great music and cozy vibe.Vegetarian options: Vegetable maki had great flavor“
“In order to get better Chinese BBQ at Chinatown prices you have to drive to Chinatown ??♂️. Specifically now the Kennedy expressway is under construction, Jason is it.The lunch plates with a little vegetable, some basic soup and a BBQ meat is about &10-$12. It isn’t a good value anymore. Tasty but not a good deal.Carry out only.“
“Despite its small and minimal interior that may not be conducive to dining in. While the prices may be a tad higher compared to fast-food options like Panda Express, the authenticity of the cuisine makes it worth the expense. Although the service may not be exceptional, it's not necessarily a deterrent, especially if one anticipates it. Having visited twice now, I've found that the quality of the food remains consistently good, which speaks to the restaurant's commitment to delivering delicious dishes. While I wouldn't recommend dining in due to the limited interior, this restaurant is certainly worth considering for its authentic flavors and reliable quality. If you're in the mood for Chinese food that's a step above the usual fast-food fare, this place is a solid choice.“
“We had an enjoyable meal! My picky eater preschooler loved the butter chicken and had 3 helpings and really loves the mango lassi too, which had lots of mango. The owner/chef was very attentive and friendly and his restaurant is just starting out, but you can tell he has a lot of experience making good food.“
“we came in yesterday during the super bowl rush. they were incredibly busy, yet everyone was friendly and helpful. we were on the way to the airport and didn't have much time. we ordered from the chinese menu and everything was fresh and delicious. good food, good prices, good people!!“
“This is korean style chinese restaurant. Its inside of mall so not recommended you to eat here when you dating with someone. ?But if you miss or want to try korean food i recommended here. ? foods are always great.If you are vegetarian there are only two options. Spicy noodle and mapo tofu.“
“I usually don’t have good experiences with small businesses, but this place was definitely what I expected!. My family and I went in and ordered the orange chicken, lo mein and white rice. The food was delicious. The lady there was really nice. It’s a good hidden spot I definitely recommend.“
“We heard about this place from friends who said we shouldn’t be deterred by the reviews (which are dated). Our friends couldn’t have been more right - Excellent food at excellent prices. Delivery was faster than the quoted time and the food was so hot we needed to wait a few minutes. Definitely our “go to” Chinese place. Chow fun and moo shu pork are excellent. Great egg rolls too.“

“Really just a pickup or delivery place, has a dine in section of about 10 tables-booths but since covid dinning section seems sparse and uninviting. Fortunately delivery and pickup orders are ready and hot.Now the food...Really basic American Chinese fare. Egg rolls are plump and good, other appetizers are the usual suspects but done correctly. Entrees are again basic dishes if not inspiring are good. I like the fried rice, always seems moist with lots of meat. Vegetables dishes are good, nice selection of fresh veggies. So if you're new to the area or looking for some-pickup or delivery-standard American-Chinese food Lins mandarin just might fill your needs.Parking: Larger strip mall with many parking spaces.“
“Great neighborhood Chinese place and one of the rare places that puts a good variety of vegetables in their dishes (not just celery and onions). I ordered chicken gyoza (which were decent), vegetable lo mein and Szechuan chicken. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. The chicken was soft and the sauce was delicious. Both the entrees came with fresh medley of vegetables - mushrooms broccoli, onions, snow peas, bell peppers, bean sprouts - which I loved. The lo mein was soft and slightly chewy just how it should be.I took 1 star off because the entrees were a tad bit oily, however the quantity was good and it's definitely value for moneyHighly recommend this place!“
“My family highly recommends Bin Hai. Or favorites are the Tofu dishes and fried rice. Consistent and very tasty Chinese food. Fast and happy service by the owner. We've been going there for many years. It's grandma's favorite. We used to eat in, but they've been carry out or delivery since the 2020 pandemic.“
“This has been our go to dinner restaurant for many years now. The place is small but the foods are always excellent. We love the salt & pepper (S&P) Japanese tofu, S&P fish fillet, S&P cuttlefish, shrimp fried rice, & walnut shrimp. Great small family restaurant with reasonable price. Highly recommended.“
“Amazing food. Prices are good too. It could be tidier on the inside but overall it's good food. As of march 2023 there is still no dine in available since the pandemic but that does help the time for food to get to you be shorter. 100% recommend.“
“This is a great hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant. Very affordable. Large portions. Perfect for leftovers. Lots of options.Parking: There is a free parking lot but depending on what time you go you may have a hard time finding a spot. It's a very small lot on a busy street and the lot serves multiple businesses.“
“Guaranteed to be the best Chinese restaurant in town. The owner is constantly buying fresh ingredients to insure the best quality.I've lived in China and this place definitely can have the authentic taste.Asian kitchen Express has vegan, and vegetarian options which a lot of other restaurants will not want to provide. Everything is made to orderVegetarian options: Veggies, tofu in every way you imagine“
“Friendly service and omg this place got a variety Asian food stop and some of the stuff I don't even get back home in Maryland. Like who served beef soup with beef bone marrow in it was so full of flavor and the portion is so huge. Pho was excellent.“
“I love PNS! I've been coming to this location for years and it always hits the spot. I am a big fan of the Vegetarian Bowl with tofu - it's light and healthy but delicious. I've also tried a few appetizers and I've enjoyed everything. I usually call in my orders and they're quick to fulfill and orders are easy to pick up. I hope this store never closes in Northfield!“
