20 Best Chinese Restaurants near Third Lake

“Usually, when I get food with shrimp, I get worried that it might not end up being as flavorful and rich and sauce as the rest of the dish. The food here was so absolutely delicious. There’s no water and no public bathroom, but that is absolutely forgiven because the shrimp in their Szechuan Shrimp was heavenly. Definitely recommend“

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

“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.“

“We've been ordering from Panda for as long as I can remember. The food is always good, fresh and hot! Got to tell you.... My new favorite is general tso chicken and they made it without the fried chicken.... I had it with sauteed chicken breast. It was sooooo good! Another item to try is the boneless spare ribs appetizer. Once you eat this from Panda, nothing else compares. Friendly customer service!“

“Wonderful place, the food is amazing! The staff is always so friendly!“

“I have been going here for 33 years.....it is still the best place I have found for carry out within 20 miles.“

“We order from here from time to time. We like the consistency and good taste. My family was out and I was on my own recovering from a surgery and felt like treating myself so I figured “ let’s get a bit fancy and order PF Chang”. What a huge mistake that was. The beef with Broccoli had les than 2 oz of beef for $30. I have included a comparison between Hunan Palace’s beef with vegetables vs what I received from PF. Hunan Palace blows PF away! Additional I have had very good luck requesting modifications, I like extra spicy and extra sauce, Human honored my request while PF did not. I think the pics tell all“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Panda Chinese Restaurant is hands down the best Chinese food in the area. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. You can tell they take real pride in the quality of their ingredients and preparation.

The crab rangoons are absolutely phenomenal. Honestly the best I’ve ever had. They are perfectly crispy on the outside with a creamy, flavorful filling that’s just amazing. I could eat a whole order of them by myself.

Every dish we tried was delicious, hot, and full of flavor. It’s rare to find a place where everything on the table impresses you, but Panda absolutely delivers.

If you’re looking for fresh, delicious Chinese food and great portions, this is the place to go. Easily my favorite Chinese restaurant around. Highly recommend!“

“Great food. will definitely recommend“

“Absolutely outstanding customer service. A Doordasher stole my order after picking it up from the restaurant and cancelled. The manager called DD on my behalf, reported the dasher, and resubmitted my order for me after I called to let the restaurant know what happened. The manager even called me back to let me know when the second dasher picked up my food.

This is the second time I've eaten here and I'm incredibly happy. The food is fantastic, the customer service is top notch, and I just really enjoyed my experience with them even through the DD difficulty.

This restaurant is definitely worth your time!“

“Love the food here, especially the salt and pepper chicken. But the new coupon promo thet are running isnt going to draw any attention. In fact I just threw mine in the trash when I saw that I needed to make 10 purchases there to save 10 dollars. Thats too many folks, 10 purchases? I bet the average cost, for 1 person is 15 to 25 dollars if you get a side. For 2 people its 25 to 40 if you get a side. Not bad prices at all, but that would mean a customer has to spend around 150 250 dollars for a single person and 250 to 400 for a pair of diners.....that being said, does the 10 dollars off after 10 purchases seem enticing now? Not to mention, if you eat there like 2 times a month, thats 5 months of saving those tickets.....the purpose of the tickets are to draw the customer back, not make them have to come back 10 times for a benefit. If you drop it to 2 purchases over 20 dollars and you get to have 5 dollars off, I bet you will see more of a return. I know I would at least keep the ticket if I only had to go one more time and spend over 20 bucks to actually use the ticket. At my pace, it would be sometime around winter of 2027 before im able to dine here 10 times lol. But again, the food is great!“

“The food is delicious!“

“Dim sum options on weekends!
Yay. Shumai is my fav hands down so of course I had to try it—I think it’s lacking some ginger and sesame oil. Theirs is good though, not great like MingHin in Rolling Meadows. The shrimp dumpling was pretty good. Other things ordered was a tofu dish, general tso chicken, sesame chicken, fried rice and fried shrimp roll. Everything was pretty decent. Will definitely be back.“

“Been looking for a new Chinese takeout joint and decided to try this place since the start of 2026. Mainly for weekend lunches/dinners

my go to are Mongolian chicken, extra spicy combo Singapore noodles, and shrimp kow. Good amount of protein and not overly salty like other places.“

“This is a takeout-only spot, as all the tables and chairs have been removed. That said, I really enjoyed the food. You can tell it was prepared with care, and the quality exceeded my expectations, especially given some of the mixed reviews. The ingredients were fresh, and the food was served piping hot, which made for a great meal.“

“I ordered online to pick up, and my food was ready on time and was amazing. I got the fried shrimp and had penko like breading. Delicious. I also got the four seasons chef specials. That was loaded with meat and veggies. Delicious also. I'm definitely going there again.“

“They didn’t have the meats I wanted but were adamant that it was going to be only a couple minutes. They were very friendly when talking to us so we stayed and waited. For some reason these were the two best tasting meats I’ve had at panda. We go a lot, so this is saying a lot. Might just have been the freshness from coming right off the kitchen, but it was fantastic.“
