50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Skokie

“We first tried jianbing in Shanghai, and it was a magical experience to get it made right in front of us in a big, round griddle! And they were soooo cheap, like $2 USD. This place is a wonderful version that doesn't have the same magic, but the flavors are great, and there are many versions to match your cravings. The portion is big and satisfying for lunch or dinner. Friendly staff and nice, comfy clean eat in space.“

“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.“

“I go to a lot of Panda Express locations, but this one just does it right.

I came in tired and exhausted on the night of 09/08 and left genuinely happy.

A couple of the carb bases were empty when I walked in. They were replenished almost immediately. I only saw one cook in the back, and he was killing it keeping up with the rush.

The person building my bowl sliced the teriyaki chicken and, without me asking, made sure I got good pieces instead of filling it with the small leftover bits. Small detail, but I noticed.

At the register, the customer ahead of me was having a difficult time. I believe the cashier was Deveen, and he patiently guided them through it. Even with a huge rush, he stayed calm, chill, and hospitable.

There was a lot going right here. That speaks to good management and employees who know what they’re doing.

The food speaks for itself. Service is a skill.

That night, I felt served.“

“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!! 💕💕💕💕“

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

“The best restaurant in uptown 👍👍“

“Great little restaurant with plenty of seating and a good variety of menu options. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Service was quick and efficient, with a fast table turnover, and our food came out quickly and fresh. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience. I also really appreciated the busser’s thoughtfulness. I accidentally left my beanie at the restaurant, and the busser came out to hand it back to me. That kind gesture really stood out and made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’d come back to!“

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

“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.“

“Great food! Got the mushroom noodles a vegan option that was super savory- not even vegan but it was super filling and delicious. My mom was having a hard time ordering and the waitress with the eyelid tattoos and dyed hair got snippy with her. I don’t get to see my mom often and as someone who is also in the service industry it’s frustrating to see someone so easily annoyed with basic customer service.“

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

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

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“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.“

“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...“

“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!!!“

“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“

“I sat in and got the birria tacos, and they were SO good. The horchata, churros, rice, and beans were delicious and tasted authentic too. I’m extremely picky when it comes to Mexican food, so I don’t say this lightly, but everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. The owner was also incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel really warm and comforting. You can really tell they care about the food and the people who come in.

Definitely recommend giving Taco Verde a try if you’re in Glenview. 10/10! ❤“

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

“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“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“BEST CHINESE FOOD IN ILLINOIS“

“Quiet hole in the wall spot with some of the best food in the area. The owner is kind and works really hard to make quality food. A lot of Chinese American restaurants can have a sort of mass produced feel and use the same suppliers but you can tell a lot of love and pride goes into the food here.“

“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!!“

“Exactly what chinese takeout should be — tasty, huge portions, good price. The dinner combo is a great meal — it comes with a main, shrimp fried rice, an egg roll, a drink and a fortune cookie for $12! The staff was very friendly and there’s lots of space to sit in the restaurant.“

“I see why people said this is the best Chinese food. I went here after a PD at Truman College.The only problem is the prices. This is supposed to be good cheap and greasy lol. They only had 3 options for a lunch special so I got the shrimp egg foo young spicy. It was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I've never seen pieces of shrimp that big. The only reason I'm not rating 5 stars is because it's kind of pricey, limited lunch specials and cash only. But I would definitely go back.“

“Hands down some of the best Chinese food in the city. I’m talking from the suburbs to China town.“

“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!“

“I’ve been looking for my new go to Chinese food place and I’m so happy that I finally found it!
we ordered our dinner from here tonight and everything tasted amazing & came hot & fresh. Packed well, no spilling sauces & as someone who is legally blind/low vision the delivery driver was kind enough to help me out!

10/10 recommend“

“They removed the self-serve setup by the wall. Now they are using the paper menu that you mark what you want and they will bring to your table. It is fine if you eat lunch or when they are not so busy but if it’s dinner or weekends you may wait for a while to get foods served. I personally like the self-serve style more since I don’t need to wait. I came for lunch $23.99/person, it’s not busy, the staff served foods quickly, no wait.“

“The portion size is GIANT. This orange chicken dinner plate had weight. It tastes like it’s made from real oranges. I also got the non-veggie egg-roll which had multiple meats in it.
I would have liked more seasoning in the fried rice but I added soy sauce and it was fine.“

“The food here is fantastic“

“Great dining very nice looking the staff also speak my language Chinese 👍“

“Had a wonderful meal at Hon Kee Restaurant on Winthrop. The Peking duck was excellent, and the pompano with black beans was especially memorable, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the service was warm and welcoming. Definitely a spot that we always come to and will continue to support!“

“This is one of our favorite spots in uptown the food is phenomenal and so different to anything we’ve ever tried. The portions are a great size and there’s so much variety in the menu it makes it hard to choose what to order every time.“

“Our new take out spot!! I’m not sure why this place doesn’t have more reviews. We ordered take out on a Friday and it was ready in 15 minutes. We got the Singapore noodles which I really loved they have a curry taste to them. General tso chicken was delicious and i really loved the fried rice. Get the custard filled buns for dessert too. We will definitely be back. It is well priced for the amount of food you get.“

“Hard to find spots this consistent these days! Always fresh, hot, and delicious. Fast service too. Highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the area! Egg rolls, crab rangoons, and the beef chow fun are some of my favorites.“

“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!“

“ALWAYS delicious food, courteous staff!! 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽“

“I almost never find a Chinese restaurant that handles allergens well, much less one that actually tastes good. We recently dined in at Palace and the food was great and had plenty of gluten free options for our family. Great food, great value, will definitely be back.“

“My family and I have been eating food from Dee's restaurant since 1988! It's my favorite Chinese comfort food! So many great memories and such delish food. I hope this restaurant continues serving this neighborhood for many more years to come.“

“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!“

“Let me start by saying that this place is one of a kind! I love trying out their special for the first time! It did not disappoint at all!

I ordered sesame chicken special for pick-up. I came in and waited patiently till my ordered arrived, so i looked around and I was intrigued by that fish tank with huge fish. It wasn't too crazy busy when I came in, but otherwise I enjoyed my first visit inside. The lunch special only costed me $8 with crab lagoon & fortune cookie! Best affordable deal ever!

The food was just amazing and I see why it took long for it to be made. They put lot of love and care with the big portions! Sesame chicken was flavorful and juicy, chicken fried rice and simply tasty, and crab ragoon was honestly really good despite trying it the first time.

I gotta say, they earned my respect and I sure will have to order their lunch special again! P.s their special run from 11am-3:30p.m Tuesday- Saturday! Please support these hardworking people ❤✨“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our food after finding this restaurant. We were originally going to a place down the street but didn't want to wait 45 minutes. Excellent quality and taste of food. The best Beef with Broccoli and Orange Chicken.
Very friendly staff. Be aware they only have a few tables, primarily take out.“
