50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Skokie

“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.“

“We liked the way the noodles for the beef chow fun were packed separately. The beef was tender and the broccoli perfectly cooked.
The chicken and broccoli was perfectly cooked as well. The vegetable egg foo young was delicious. The egg rolls were ok.
Simple, clean, tasty food.“

“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.“

“The picture shows on the left side 🥵 orange chicken 😋 and the ride side is the firecracker 🧨 chicken with all white breasted chicken meat so delicious 🤤!!! The food was fresh served hot and was delicious. Saturday 07/24/26 @ 8:00pm. What is served on top of the rice is a hot orange/red chili sauce which gave the white rice some flavor.“

“Every other order something might be missing, but that's usually the doordasher delivery issue. Occasionally the order is not filled as it was entered online, but the fix it. You need to live close though to go pick up missing items, as doordash won''t fix a delivery mistake. Hugely disappointed that they removed the vegetarian chicken from the menu.“

“Foodie and gals it’s are addictive. Warning!! 💕💕💕💕“

“This is a laid-back fast food restaurant where the ordering process is simple and doesn’t require any social effort (that's what I value most).

In the US, fake socializing, feigned respect, and moral blackmail are everywhere, I need more authentic dining environments free from social obligations.“

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

“The best restaurant in uptown 👍👍“

“We were starving and looking for a good restaurant nearby, and this one caught our eye. Food came out super fast! Both the noodle soup and sizzling beef were way too salty for me though. Not sure if that’s normal or just our dishes, but hopefully it can be adjusted.“

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

“Lao Peng Yu
Amazing food packed with tons of flavors! Appreciate they have multiple options that you can make vegetarian. We tried
- cucumber salad: super light and refreshing. similar to din tai ding’s cucumbers. i might actually like these more 🫢
- scallion noodles: very simple dish but the sauce packs a ton of flavors
- dan dan noodles: great vegetarian options topped with tons of veggies. wasn’t my favorite compared to the scallion noodles, but i never been a huge fan of peanuts
- mushroom dumplings - loved the filing and the sauce was great
overall, i get the hype. this is a place i would definitely come back to over and over. we got there as soon as they opened on a sunday and the place was packed within 30 mins!“

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

“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.“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

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

“Shanghai Terrace is ALWAYS excellent. The food is incredible... and the service is unquestionably some of the best in Chicago. We have been sitting in Max's section for years and he truly understands and provides exceptional customer service all the time...“

“This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. The food was spectacular, it wasnt super greasy, but was greasy enough to satisfy my body's needs.
The hospitality? There is literally no way to improve. Jimmy, the owner, was funny, kind, and made this dining experience, an experience ill never forget. I wish I could say more, but honestly you have to experience it for yourself.

(OH, and i ordered the orange chicken, crab rangoons, szechuan beef, and various dumplings, and man. They were to die for. (Extra on the orange chicken))

Thanks Lan's China!!!“

“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“

“We had a good experience. Good food and friendly staffing.“

“Share details of your own experience at this place.
Fine google whatever i'll do that
First time trying hot pot, reminds me of one kbbq I went in that you have to cook your own food
On the bright side, there was also a wide selection of pre-cooked food available such as rice, fruit, veggies, delectable little square cake thingies, although I did not recognize about 80% of what was in that area which was scary because I am easily frightened

• • • (that right there is called a dinkus)

The meat and broth was pretty alright, but it didn't stand out much. uhhh hang on lemme think of other stuff about this place hmmmmmmmm ok my group was large and we got our own room which was nice since interacting with strangers is scary because I am easily frightened
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm there are vegetarian broth options available which is good if you are a vegetarian because the food is vegetarian meaning there is no meat therefore making said food vegetarian“

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

“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“

“OK, listen here, Don’t let the outside fool you. From the street, this place looks rough, the storefront could definitely use a good power wash, and the sidewalk isn’t the most inviting. But once you step inside, you’ll realize appearances can be deceiving.

This is one of those true hole-in-the-wall gems serving some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. The orange chicken is absolutely incredible, and the spicy chicken fried rice is insanely good both are MUST orders.

If you’re willing to look past the exterior, you’ll be rewarded with an amazing meal that’s absolutely worth it. I genuinely hope they freshen up the outside because the food deserves an entrance that matches how great it is. Don’t judge this place by its curb appeal you’d be missing out on one of the best Chinese meals around.“

“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!“

“Best Chinese food in Chicago! The Kung Pao Chicken is one of my favorites along with their Pork Fried Rice, but I have enjoyed many of their dishes - BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Egg Rolls, Pot Stickers, Beef Chop Suey on crispy chow mein noodles - all delicious. The servings are large - plenty to share or take home for tomorrow's lunch. All the staff are friendly and efficient, and you can eat in, pickup or order delivery. Try House of Wah Sun; you won't be disappointed.“

“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!“

“I’ve tried many Chinese food options in Chicago, but this one will leave you thoroughly satisfied!
The food is delicious—packed with flavor. It’s definitely THE BEST CHOICE. The prices are unbeatable and you have so many healthy options!
From now on, I won’t go anywhere else. If you order online your food is very well packed and if you want to visit the place it’s a lovely spot for a family meal or to take a guest, and the service is excellent!
5 stars aren't enough. I will give a 6th!“

“I give this location a 5/5

I have been eating here since before my son was born. He is 12 now we both enjoy this location for dinner, and or just the lunch specials during work hours.
My favorite is always the kung bow chicken, with potstickers.“

“This place is saving my wallet with these leftovers and I honestly can't believe how big the portions are, especially in this part of Chicago.
Not only that, I enjoyed all of their dishes so far. Definitely recommend and very thankful!!“

“I have ordered food here twice and it is SO good! I have gotten beef & broccoli, kung pao chicken, egg rolls, fried rice, and beef chow fun. The staff is kind and the food is made quickly. This is my go-to spot now! Thank you Chop Suey Huang 😊“

“Great Local Chinese Food Spot in the Neighborhood. As a Custoner of 7 years I can say the quality of the food is great & has remained consistent. Tasty, Filling, and good Portions even when you Order a Small. They also have delicious Fruit Slushies. I love that they Don't use Vegetable Oils or MSG. They have a great Menu Selection with Fair Prices.“

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

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

“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.“

“Genuinely THE best Chinese food I've found in Chicago! Some of the best egg rolls and crab rangoons I've had in my life! Their beef is very good, has a very good quality and flavor. Chicken is good but not my favorite. Just doesn't compare to the rest of the goodness they have. Cash only. I don't know her name but the lady who works the counter is the sweetest and I really wanted to give her a shoutout!!“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“I had an amazing experience at Hong Huah. The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious every dish we tried was full of flavor and clearly made with care.

The owners, Arnold and his dad, are some of the kindest and most welcoming people we’ve ever met. They truly make you feel like family with their friendliness and warmth.

I highly recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner. If you’re looking for great food and even better service, this is definitely the place to go!“

“I always enjoy dining at Ping Pong. The food is always amazing and the staff is very attentive. They also have a nice wine selection and creative cocktails.“

“Love this place so much. Their lunch specials are fantastic. The portions are generous. The prices are very reasonable. The owner is lovely. Their tofu dishes are flavorful, orange chicken is savory and delicious, the spicy garlic shrimp is my favorite. I think their egg rolls are better than House of Wah Sun. Would give more stars if possible.“

“Food is very fresh and delicious“

“First time here loved the lunch special great price surprisingly good quality food the beef Mongolian was tender not tough and chewy like most restaurants, you can tell the cook takes pride in her cooking and makes it the best she can must be passed down from. Her family , great chef ty“

“Fantastic neighborhood gem! My friend and I were craving classic Chinese takeout, and Orange Garden was perfect. Crab Rangoons were delicious, as were the chicken dishes. The service was so friendly, with the server making sure our water glasses stayed full and that we had takeout boxes to pack up leftovers. Perfect place for groups, as there are plenty of comfy booths.“

“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.“

“After a nice day at Lincoln Park Zoo my son told me about this restaurant. I love Chinese food and unfortunately there are not many good choices for me where I live. I ordered the Mongolian beef which was excellent. My son ordered a special, Japanese Curry chicken which the chef made special adding a few secret ingredients lol. My son said it was so good and had great flavor ,and lastly we ordered Sweet and Sour chicken along with egg rolls. Overall everything was prepared in generous portions and reasonably priced. We highly recommend stopping in and having your favorite dish. We did not eat there but next time we will. Tha staff was super friendly and explained all the specials.“

“I went here for my partners birthday today and the meal we had was AMAZING! We moved to the neighborhood recently and are so excited to have such amazing and quality food. Everything seems to be portioned generously for an individual, but we ordered a few things and shared family style.
The handpulled noodles for the Lagman are some of the best noodles Ive ever had! The flavor of the dish was so wonderful and fresh. We also ordered the cold bean jelly salad, all of us had never had bean jelly before and absolutely loved it! The sauce that is over the bean jelly is very tasty and savory and goes so well with the chili crisp (paste?) that is on the table as well. Definitely a must try and my whole household is already talking about what we'll try next time!“

“This classic spot has been amazing since we were KIDS! I can’t believe I never dropped my 5 stars. If you’re an LT alum IYKYK this place raised us. After many years they still have the absolute best chicken fried rice! Lunch specials are also top notch. Family owned and operated- Never change!“

“We ordered from here and it was an awesome find! They have a lot of typical looking dish that I have not tried but I will talk about what I did order. First I got the egg rolls and my wife and I both agreed they were very good. I do think they could use a bit more Chinese five spice or something to make them a bit more flavorful. The chicken with spicy garlic sauce was very delicious and tasted fresh and I loved all the veg they added. A solid Chinese dish. The one thing that is great about this place is they master the Chinese and Korean dishes. The Cha Chiang Mien (Korean jajangmyeon noodles) is a popular dish here and it’s no wonder. It is so decadent and amazing! Loved this so much!!! Also had something very unique and equally amazing and that was Spicy Noodle Platter with shrimp, squid, pork and veggies in a savory spicy sauce. This is really awesome! Probably one of my new favorite Asian dishes. I will try more of their food but this first experience was incredible! Yumm!!“

“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“
