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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My daughter got engaged on the spur of the moment and the closest affordable restaurant we could get to, that we could all agree upon, within our budget and time frame was this Panda Express 🐼 None of us has eaten at Panda Express very often, like it's been years, but we have to say that with the number of people we had (14) and the amount of food (tons) from Panda's family menu, the amazing customer service (they even took a family group photo, and had stuffed Panda Express bears), the speed in how long it took to cook that much, and the yumminess of everything... we will most certainly be returning soon!
Great job Panda Express“

“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“

“I do not take the word “perfection” lightly. Yet, I mean it when I say that Shang Noodle is the embodiment of perfection in Chicago. Not just Chicago, this may very well be one of the finest meals I have ever eaten in the entire world. The staff were warm and inviting, service was incredible.

I am from out of town. I will miss Shang Noodle the second I step out the door to leave. I would make plans in the future to Chicago just to stop by for a dish at Shang Noodle.

If you are ever curious of a good place to eat, for an incredible meal, for great service, for a quiet relaxed environment, then Shang Noodle is for you. I will be back 100%. Very impressed“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

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

“Had a great meal at Lao Peng You in Chicago! Two of us shared the Dan Dan noodles and the pork & chive dumplings, and it was the perfect amount of food for both of us. The Dan Dan noodles were packed with flavor, had a nice kick of spice, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The pork & chive dumplings were delicious.

The food was authentic and flavorful. Looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes.“

“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.“

“The best restaurant in uptown 👍👍“

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

“I have loved Shanghai Terrace for more than 20 years. For the first time I was disappointed by the food. I suspect they have a new Chef who is using new recipes instead of the tried and true. For example, the Golden Shrimps were not golden. The Hot and Sour soup was not up to par. The best part of dinner was dessert! As always, service and the setting were as good as ever.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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:)“

“Hi Hing Wang team,

I know this place since 2005, right after they moved from “under the Red Line train” to their actual address. Since then, I remember their chicken noodle soup was great. I say “was” because it’s not on the menu anymore. Their fried rice is amazing — I love it.

But today’s review is really because of the new lady there. She was cleaning every table, and it seemed like she was making sure everything was clean, or at least disinfected. When I arrived to pick up my order, I left my change as a tip. She called out to the kitchen staff and said, “Tips!” and everyone replied, “THANK YOU!”

I got excited, lol, and left even more tips. :)

Then, when she handed me my order, she said, “Thank you, have a nice day, and come visit again.” It blew my mind. I have never heard that from anyone at that place, haha. I got outside and checked again if I was at the same place.

Anyway, thank you for keeping the same taste all these years, and please keep that young lady there. She is perfect as a host.

Thank you!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 😊“

“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.“

“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 🥢🔥“

“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.“

“Food is great, big portions for both chicken and rice dishes and the prices are affordable. The owner is so nice, & although I’ve only gotten take out, the restaurant itself is cute inside. Only thing that makes me SO sad is the fortune cookies are ads!!! So dystopian :( it kind of ruined my favorite part, please go back to regular fortunes!!!“

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

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“Wow truly a hidden Gem! 🤩 A must try for Chinese lovers!! My boyfriend got me dinner from here~ he grew up in the area & we are in our 30s so that shows how long they’ve been around! I got the sweet & sour chicken which is amazing! I LOVE that the fried chicken pieces are separate from the sauce~ the chicken stays crispy!! Very tasty! The employee was also very sweet! Definitely take out only vibes. Cash only as well! We’ll be back for sure! Thank you🔥“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“this place slaps. full stop. i never leave reviews but both the service and food were so excellent that i had to. first time here- i’ve never been so full in my life and taken home so much food for such a good price. i’d def come back and also order takeout from here“

“The coziest spot for Chinese comfort dishes! Everything was honestly delicious. Plus the service was so friendly and great! The portions are huge — great for sharing multiple plates with a group. The sesame chicken breading is perfect. The lo fon noodles were delicious.“

“A regular here since opening day! I usually stick to lunch pickup—portions are great, and there’s no annoying $15 order minimum. Unlike generic takeout, the food here has real depth of flavor. Well-balanced and hits the spot every time. I wish them great success and can’t wait to dine in.“

“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.“

“Delicious Chinese food! We both tried the Mongolian beef and it was excellent. Portions are a bit small, so if you don’t want leftovers, consider ordering an extra entrée, but the value is still great. We also each had an order of spring rolls, and they were perfect.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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“

“We have been getting delivery from #1 Chop Suey for over 10 years. Delivery is often very fast and the food arrives hot. Prices are affordable and portions are large. Some of our favorites: chicken wings, teriyaki beef stick, chicken egg foo young, General Tsao's chicken, & Singapore noodles. I often get a side of broccoli in white sauce so I'm getting some vegetables. I've not eaten there but the woman who takes the order is always pleasant as are the delivery people.“

“Food is very fresh and delicious“
