21 Best Chinese Restaurants near Third Lake

“Ordered late because I had work. Few places offer combos at night and I love this place now because they offer a small meal for 10$. Amazing pricing Woman was friendly and smiled even though she was the only one on the line at the moment. I had just seen the other person go to the bathroom. Food is awesome.“

“What a great experiences! The food was amazing! The family enjoyed themselves in the beautiful restaurant and wonderful staffs! Definitely reminded my daughters of grandma's cooking! 🫰“

“Szechwan Palace is a charming small Chinese restaurant in Antioch. Currently, the atmosphere is a bit disrupted due to ongoing construction, but it still retains a cozy and inviting feel.

Food: I have visited Szechwan Palace numerous times and always enjoy the food. The drunken noodles and egg rolls are my favorites. On my last visit, I tried the Kung Pao beef, which was quite good but could use a bit more wok flavor. The soup, while tasty, could benefit from a bit more spice and the addition of shiitake or Chinese mushrooms, a touch more sourness, ginger, a hint of sugar, and some rice vinegar to enhance its flavor.

Service: The service at Szechwan Palace is consistently very good. The staff are polite and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.

Overall: Despite the current construction, Szechwan Palace remains a delightful spot for authentic Szechuan cuisine in Antioch. I look forward to returning and seeing the progress on the renovations and AUTHENTIC ASIAN FOOD !!!!!“

“We love Chopstix. Their vegetables are always fresh and their sesame chicken is amazing.“

“I ordered the Happy Family meal, it never disappoints! Always enough food for 3 meals~ for me😉“

“The food is delicious!“

“I stopped in here while my rental car was charging and OMG 10/10 recommend. The teriyaki chicken was amazing and great value for the price. The egg drop soup soothed my very soul!

Parking: There’s 2 volt charging stations infront of the jewel-osco“

“My order was made to my taste and it was exactly and positively perfect. The lady taking my order was very pleasant and didn't mind my changes at all. After eating I called Panda to thank them again. My meal was cooked to perfection and enough to feed 3 people. What's my order??? If Sweet & Sour Chicken and Sesame Chicken had a baby. That would be my order. Can't wait to have again“

“Omg, the food here was so amazing! And we are very picky as asian foodies. Went here for my bday and they even did the cutest thing with putting a candle on a stack of almond cookies with fortune cookes surrounding it to sing to me. The waiter was polite and the wife of the cook, which I assume is also the owner, was extremely warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back and reccomend to our friends.“

“The people running this place are so kind and nice.Everytime we've come here, the food comes out so fast and tastes amazing!100% recommend cherry pork and their amazing crunchy egg rolls, best I've had!Look forward to our next visit.“

“Best in the area! Alway fresh, hot & tasty! Beef lo mein-Cantonese style is my fav, beef is always tender and moist- and tastes like beef. Chicken fried rice is my chaser, tender chunks of chicken tastes great w/ a lil Soy sauce. *Egg rolls are made in store, fresh- many places have frozen ones shipped in. The only issue I encounter (Agee times) w/ the eggs rolls is they tend to overcook (look burnt) them, not a deal breaker but Hong Kong please take note *Pick-up only at this time due to COVID C***!“

“Didn’t get food from the Golden Kitchen in a fairly long time. Today I was impressed by the one woman show on display, cooking, packing the food, taking orders, and being as gracious as always. The food is good and the place exemplifies the family business model. I’ll go back more often to ensure that places like this stay in business.“

“I have gotten food from here many times. It’s always great. The owner is so nice and really cares about providing his customers great food. But yesterday I got the won ton soup for the first time, and I can honestly say, it is the BEST wonton soup I have ever had.“

“I came here a year ago and the food was disgusting. I went yesterday as they're under new ownership and was absolutely blown away. Mongolian beef and potstickers were A++. AND THE SUSHI WAS SO GOOD OMG“

“My more 'local' favorite Chinese take out place closed around 9 months ago (Chens in Palatine) and I've been looking for a new one since - after trying a dozen+ restaurants, I think this is the winner! It's a bit of a hike from lake zurich, but so worth it for good Chinese food! (I ordered our usual favorites: sesame chicken, pork lo mein, steamed dumplings, egg roll (and one that I don't always order with my kids, hot and sour soup). I have other favorites, but those ones are the "bare minimum" of "must be great")

(The Lo Mein - top right in the pic - is the one thing that I have been searching for someone else to get right since my last place closed.)

I also love that for the entree, for a small upcharge, you can swap the standard included white rice for a side of fried rice, or lo mein. We rarely ate much if any of the rice, but we will eat fried rice (lo mein as well, but I usually order that as a second entree!)“

“Great food. will definitely recommend“

“this was our first time here we thought we were going to dine in but The dining room is closed. It was never reopened after Covid. We had the orange chicken, which was really tough. Don’t know if it was old but the shrimp fried rice and chicken sweet-and-sour was very good. I would recommend this restaurant.“

“This fast food restaurant is always a good place to eat in or carryout Chinese cuisine my boys really loved coming here and enjoy specially those days when we are busy and we have not time to cook at home. This place is clean. Food flavors are good. Affordable prices and friendly employees????????“

“Excellent Chinese Food. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants at North suburbs of Chicago area, particularly the one at Vernon Hills. Food is delicious, each time I ordered carry out, they all packed very well too. Definitely recommend.“

“Sweet & Sour Chicken has the classic flavors, big portion of 14 pieces. Egg roll is large in size and delicious, with peanut butter flavor, included with the $10.75 price + a massive portion of pork fried rice is very tasty, easily 2 meals worth of food. Good crunch chicken batter and egg roll. Best quality and value for the price, I will order from them again, a new favorite.“

“The food was amazing and tasty compaired with other places around the area. Used to eat a lot of chinese food from different restaurants but this place beats by far others. I have been over 11 years here and I would recommend trying their dishes. Our experience for service and taste so far 10 stars and totally impressed. Keep up the good work!“
