* = standouts/would highly recommend

All of it was great! So many dumplings in one order; they don’t skimp! We waited about ~35-40 minutes to be seated on a Thursday night around 6:20.“

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

“They have the best Chinese food down. I always get the string beans and the sesame chicken. It’s so delicious.“

“love the dine in experience...Nuff said“

“Did the karaoke party - - family style food first then karaoke. The crab rangoon is very good as well as the garlic green beans. The orange chicken head very orange-y. Also came with vegetable egg rolls, vegetable fried rice, sushi, dumplings. I thought the rest of the food was just ok but I'd be willing to go back to try food specifically that I prefer and could order. It's byob but he supplies ice and there is liquor on site. Jimmy creates such a lively, fun vibe!!! Definitely an experience!“

“We came from Wisconsin to ouck up food from this joint!!! the food is STRAIGHT!!! DELICIOUS!!! Henry was very hospitable and a great person!!! thank you Henry for the great food!!! It was worth the 2 hour drive!!! we will be back!!!“

“If you are looking good Chinese food in the west loop this is for sure the spot. The staff was very friendly and did a great job at explaining the menu option, they were very accommodating to our diet restrictions & ensured we were satisfied with our meals. I had the tofu and has been one of the best ones I have tried even my known vegetarian friends were a fan. If you have a sweet tooth and want to try something trendy the drumsticks ice cream is also very recommended.“

“This is definitely some of the better dim sum I’ve had. I’m not sure what it’s called but my favorite one is like shrimp amd egg and it’s a little toasted. And the custard tart is so good. The crust is so flaky“

“Amazing food and fast!! My friends and I really enjoyed dinner at Sun Wah!!“

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

“From the minute we walked in everything was wonderful. Our server was friendly and beyond accommodating. As was the chef when we requested a dish not on the menu. The food was exceptional. The best Chinese food we’ve ever had in the suburbs. Definitely compares to Chinatown.“

“Absolutely delicious! The hot and sour soup brought the heat, but didn't over power the flavor. We also had a variety of the dim sum, the best was the pot stickers. Fun atmosphere, great service“

“Saw this place on TikTok and decided to drive up north to try it. I must say it was definitely worth the trip. Some of the best Chinese I’ve had in the city will definitely be returning. I got the barbecue pork beef fried rice spicy no vegetables only egg with the crispy fried chicken, wings, and crab Rangoon chefs kiss“

“Delicious food and fast delivery! I've had food from Wonder Chop many times, pick up and delivery. It's always been hot and delicious. The staff has been welcoming, friendly, and my order is correct. Love this place!“

“Staff friendly. Food was very good. Will go again.“

“Our favorite Chinese food restaurant in Chicago. Staff is friendly, food is delicious no matter what we get. Some of our favorites are the Wash Sun Chicken Wings, Noodle platter, Ma Po Tofu - but honestly anything is delicious from here.“

“Very good Chinese food 🍱 best in the neighborhood:)“

“The food is always solid, poIite staff, pretty fast outside of lunch/dinner hour. If you are looking for a recommendation, you can't go wrong with the basics: chicken fried rice, orange chicken, egg foo young, or wonton soup. Items I also recommend: Mongolian beef or salt and pepper shrimp.

I eat there so frequently I felt it's time I owed them the rating they deserve.“

“This is our go to take out Chinese place. Flawless. Flavorful, large portions, quick delivery, friendly. Our faves: egg foo yung, Singapore rice noodles, general tsos chicken, sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, beef chop suey - all wonderful.“

“Chicken fried rice, extra dark, extra spicy. Flame. � � �.“

“Been going here for over 45 years and never had one bad meal. The remodeled restaurant is fantastic and very comfortable.“

“This place has great food and is a great value. A few years ago, it was about the same value as all the other Chinese restaurants. Then, those other restaurants chose to jack their prices up 50%. However, Northern Taste did not fall into that greedy trap. As a result, it now not only has really tasty food, but it is also a great deal. In addition, when things aren't right, they are very apologetic and do what they can to make things right. I definitely recommend you try this place, especially the lunch specials!“

“Mrs. Crespo: My husband asked me to give this place a try off reviews... We're a Spicy full household so trying new places is hard... Family of 7 so we order XL... In the past yrs started eating better... So clean and fresh tastes are important... At first was a bit iffy per the size of the wings... But then took into account the freshness of their food, taste and quality... We loved the flavor of everything... Crispy, not greasy... Extra soy blended perfectly into the rice... The egg foo young was fluffy and full, best looking sauce I've ever seen... It was smooth thick with a slight cream soup feel... Not jelly like... Not many places offer No Shell S&P Shrimp, love that they have the option with or without... No food coma zombies after, full but didn't feel gross... Delivery was on point... She said 45 minutes... In fact it was 45 minutes, including the 3 minutes it took me to give my order... A sweet older man delivered my order... The taste of the food reminded us of a China Buffet off Pulaski and Wellington.. Family owned, it was our wkly spot for over 20yrs... They watched me age into adulthood and watched my oldest 3 grow.. They've been closed for time now... But you're food reminds us of there... We'll be ordering again... Planning to stop for dine in as well...“

“I knew I was in for a feast when the service was more of a get your crap and get out type of attitude. As all good Chinese food places are. the orange chicken and chow mein was really good. The crab Rangoon filling was sweet as God intended. I am so happy this place is so close to my house.“

“Jjajangmyeon blacker than your ex's heart.

Tangsuyuk with a crunch that shatters like your heart from that same ex.

I'm really just heart broken knowing it's kind of a trek for me when I'm in Chicago becuase as good as the public transpo is in Chicago I'm in Lakeview and getting to Albany Park takes a while.

The outside looks like a Chinese Bodega in Queens NY, but the inside looks like it's been family owned and operated for decades, which it has, that sort of authenticity can't be faked. With a menu bigger than Cheesecake factories, these chef's run multiple wok's and a mise en place that puts french chefs to shame.

When you think Chinese/Korean, it's quite a 50/50 split with not one more prevelant than the other. When you think Korean you think banchan and kim chi's and pickled daikons, so in that regard it's more Chinese.

Apparently they have gotten some fame from social media, but I've been coming here long before that. Most of the patrons are Asian and all staff are, so your service is gonna be matter of fact. It's not so authentic that there are social mores to the tea pouring. They take your order quick and the food comes out quick, usually everything at once which is great for family sized meals/orders/parties versus date nights where there is conversation in between.

I feel like onions, green onions, carrots and peppers are in everything. I wish they had more xo sauce items becuase you can tell all their sauces are slurry enhanced. Still delicious, bold, thick, great. Prices are very affordable and the portions are plentiful. Fried rice is heavy on the msg and light on the soy sauce. They velvet all their beef, but the beef don't be beefing heavy, but their pork and shrimp are all succulent, soft, juicy without all that bi carb. Their szchewan sauce is something I dip their chicken lolipops in on top of their already sticky glaze. I tend to cut and add vinegar to a few of their dishes which is great.

It's M&P, down home, local. It's a place to bring your family, it's a place to stock your fridge with leftovers. It's the places metro cities are built on, despite it not being in Chinatown.“

“10/10

Be mindful that they DO THEIR OWN delivery service but it is processed through GrubHub for online orders

Lunch and dinner specials are legit

Delivery is always on time or better than anticipated! Hot foods are delivered still HOT and cold drinks are still cold fridge temps 👌“

“Very great food and very fresh. They make it the way u would like it‼️‼️🤤🤤. I ordered a shrimp egg foo young, a combination rice, and 2 chicken egg rolls 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤 VERY moist and NOT greasy. I would recommend this restaurant for EVERYONE ‼️‼️‼️“

“My family and I traveled to Chicago twice this year and dined at the Asian Cuisine Express both times. The owner, cooks and wait staff were all extremely friendly and made each of our visits a wonderful experience. We ordered Chinese and Japanese food and we also sampled some of their new delicious tacos... everything we tried was absolutely fantastic. We live 300 miles away so we ordered a lot of takeout to bring home with us to share with our friends who didn't get to make the trips. Asian Cuisine express will be a regular stop now for us every time we go to Chicago... we highly recommend everyone tries this restaurant and we can't wait until we visit there again. Thanks to all the great people at Asian Cuisine Express!!!“

“This was some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a while!!! I ordered the crab rangoon, shrimp fried rice, and general tso’s chicken. Everything was fresh! The shrimp were big and clean, and the rice was nice and dark! IYKYK 😂. The crab rangoon were nice sizes. They give a great amount of everything— takeout boxes were overflowing in a good way. Everything was packaged nicely to prevent spills. The service was also great. The cashier was extremely kind and welcoming when I went to pick up my order. I will definitely be back! 🤎“

“This place is awesome! We went for a girls night and enjoyed the whole hotpot experience! The lamb is halal here, so we were happy to have a meat option. However, the veggie broth itself is so flavorful—having just veggies would have been just fine! By the end of the night we were drinking cups of the broth, because of how flavorful it was!! If you like spicy, definitely get the spicy broth! You won’t regret it. Appreciated how clean the place was—the staff were great about checking in and refilling the broth regularly! Will definitely be going back for more!!“

“Finally!!! A GOOD CHINESE PLACE THAT USES REAL CHICKEN

Everything is on POINT!!

I found my Chinese place 🙌 thank you guys!!
-a customer that likes quality“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“Harmony Restaurant absolutely delivered. I ordered the beef Pad Thai, and it was chef’s kiss. Perfectly cooked noodles, tender beef, and a rich, balanced sauce that hit that sweet-savory sweet spot just right. Every bite tasted fresh and full of flavor without being heavy.
I usually take pictures of my food, but I was too busy enjoying it to remember always the sign of a great meal. Harmony lives up to its name with comforting, well-crafted dishes that keep you coming back. Highly recommend, especially if Pad Thai is your go-to.“

“A literal hole in the wall, but a hidden gem. I’ve been ordering from here since 2010 and the food has always been delicious. The portions sizes are big enough for two people even if you order a small size. The lady at the window is always kind and happy to help. I definitely recommend ordering from here!“

“Order the Thai Red Curry off the takeout menu... it is our favorite dish. In fact, the staff at Jin Asian knows our order when we walk in the door. I get the chicken, my fiance gets the beef, and we have them add mushrooms to both. That, plus the Crab Rangoon with apricot-based sauce, makes one of my favorite meals in the city. The restaurant is never crowded, and the service is very friendly.“

“I really like their sesame chicken! They use dark meat, which I prefer over white meat, and the flavor is just chef’s kiss. It’s very subjective, but their chicken is one of the tops for me! Oh, and they give you a lot! Also more affordable than others.“

“My man went in got us some fries ,vegetable rice and some super tacos the food was amazing he said the customer service was amazing as well , we ‘ll definitely be coming back !!! It’s hard to find good rice you don’t have to even add the soy sauce for it to be good!!thank you !“

“This is my fav Chinese food spot around town. Their tofu is cooked well and everything always tastes great. Service is pretty quick too. I think most people order takeout but dining in is pretty chill too. Also, their prices are pretty reasonable. A lot of food that I usually end up taking home.“

“They have the best Chinese food down. I always get the string beans and the sesame chicken. It’s so delicious.“

“I was on my way to Panda when I saw this place and thought I’d try it instead - what a great idea! The place is cozy and clean inside, and smells amazing. The manager immediately seated me and offered me some water and hot tea, which was delicious. 5/5 on service and atmosphere

I was 30 minutes late for the lunch special, but he still let me order two (Mongolian beef for me and orange chicken my wife) - both of which he cooked fresh for us. 5/5 on food taste

It took a few minutes longer than fast food and cost me a few extra dollars, but this place is 100% worth it. I don’t think I’ll go to Panda again while I live here! Thank you Hong Huah“

“LOVE this place and low-key consider it a hidden gem. Prices are so reasonable, even after having gone up in January - lunch special is $8. Portions have shrunk some (that's to be expected when prices go up) but it's still enough food to fill you up. Occasionally they'll get something small wrong (fried rice when I asked for white), but everything I've ordered from here is tasty, which is what not only keeps me coming back, but keeps me telling my coworkers about this place.“

“Best and I mean BEST egg rolls in the city.
I've never had better orange chicken, everyone ive brought here agrees. Every dish ive ever had has been out of this world. The staff are amazing ...portions and prices are unbeatable. I almost forgot the handmade potstickers!!! Truly Delicious.
Once you have En Lai , they will become your GO-TO Chinese place.“

“Horrible food. Over priced and gross. Do not recommend. No flavor and what I ordered was definitely not what it was supposed to be. 🤮“

“Love this place. Pot stickers, egg drop soup and egg rolls are my go-to’s. The husband favors the orange chicken.

UPDATE: this place is under new ownership and the food all tastes very different to me. The husband still loves this restaurant and thinks some of the food is improved; I tried the new eggrolls and they were a salt bomb.“
