“An unexpected GEM in this neighborhood. Went here for dinner tonight with my aunt and I could not be happier with the experience. Jenny-Lin is the owner and she is such a delightful person and is so proud of her restaurant. The food is light and flavorful with huge portions!

We got the Mongolian beef, chicken Pad Thai, gyoza, and egg drop soup. 10/10 will be back again!“

“awesome food awesome drinks awesome service five stars easy“

“This is a very authentic Chinese Sichuan style restaurant in the area. The most important thing is that when all restaurants have increased their prices, they can still maintain the set meal for Chinese food for only $9.99, including soup and spring rolls! You will not find any Chinese restaurant in the surrounding area with this price and quality! One of my favorite restaurants, it is a great place for family gatherings or meeting with friends!

This is a Chinese Sichuan restaurant, so the main dishes are spicy. Customers who can't eat spicy food should consider it carefully, but many of their non-spicy dishes are also very good.“

“Food is delicious. Excellent service.“

“1st off, I'm not a local guide as this stupid Google system says I am. Ok, Native New Yorker now living in Texas, seriously missing good Chinese food. I was in Illinois for business and a coworker suggested China Style and it was delicious! The nice woman at the counter had them make BBQ Pork Fried Rice for me, to go with an order of BBQ Pork and it was all very good! The prices were standard for what Chinese food costs these days. It was so good. I came back 2 days later for more of the rice and had the Chicken with Broccoli and it was very good as well! Thank you to the nice woman for having the order prepared specifically for what I wanted! Best Chinese I've had away from New York.“

“No complaints - food/service is excellent!“

“This spot has some great dishes, but the standout for me is their gun poong chicken. Enjoy a plate full of drumsticks that are crispy on the outside and soft inside, covered in a spicy sauce and a side of rice. Be sure to ask for extra napkins.“

“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.“

““Palace Cantonese is a hidden gem that deserves all the hype.”

The Beef Egg Fu Young? Absolute perfection — fluffy, rich, and full of flavor in every bite. The Spicy Beef Fried Rice? Simply amazing… the kind of dish that keeps you coming back over and over. And don’t even get me started on the Veggie Egg Rolls — golden, crispy, and packed with fresh flavor.

Every plate feels like comfort food done right, with that authentic Cantonese taste that hits both tradition and satisfaction. The portions are generous, the flavors bold, and the service makes you feel at home.

This isn’t just dinner — it’s a food experience worth sharing.

“Scrumptious!!! Huge portions!! Will definitely return!!“

“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 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“

“👍👍👍👍👍Very affordable, very delicious, very fast ... Our second kitchen... In particular, we love their Wonton Soup, the Fried Rice. Big portion. Super affordable... Very delicious... They close on Tuesday... Call and the food is usually ready in 10 to 20 minutes... TY very much , Hong Kong Lite... 🙏💅🙏“

“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! 🫰“

“Our order was ready 10 minutes early so we were glad we came early. There was one table of diners in a relatively nondescript dining room but lots of carry out orders. Our egg rolls were tasty but without the traditional Chinese fried outside. These were pretty greasy but had more meat than vegetables which was a pleasant surprise. They came only with a Chile sweet sauce and it added to the taste. Our potstickers were just ok and had a slightly gooey exterior. \nOur main courses included Mongolian beef which was much higher quality beef than most places offer. Nice flavor and sauce. Our noodle dish with chicken was also flavorful as were the moo shu chicken ingredients. \nPrices were on the high side but the portions were generous and the quality deserved it. The value was great and we would return.“

“Our Family has been going to Lucky Wok for years. Cannot say enough about how fast the team is to get you what you need and address any issues you may have with your order. So glad they are so close and so diligent with their service. Can't say I've seen this level of service since I used to go to old Orange Garden on Irving 25 years ago. Congrats on the having an amazing team.“

“Very good food great service ( quick !) fantastic prices- what’s not to love ❤️😊“

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

“Y’all gotta try this place there food is soo good everything on there menu is good I’ve been gone here for 5 years and the customer service has been amazing and the food aswell if you like Chinese food this is the place not to expensive everything is for a great price !!“

“It’s a great go-to place where I often pick up on Tuesday nights. The food is ready 10 to 15 minutes after I order it over the phone. The lady who takes the order and gives me the food to-go is unfailingly pleasant and always smiles. We love their Mongolian beef, and enjoy their egg rolls, hot & sour soup and wonton soup. Never a bad meal. All delicious with generous portions and a fair price.“

“Never have gotten anything bad here. today got potstickers and house lomein“

“Tasty food with decent quality. Mild spice level and American Chinese food. They have some interesting items on their menu which are really good.
While there are some seats available if someone decides to dine in, but this is a take out place. Highly recommend for the quality of ingredients and good oil they use.“

“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.“

“Love their panang curry chicken!“

“Great variety of food, chicken, seafood, desserts, and the hibachi grill. Drinks are extra. There is a3% surcharge of using a credit card. Wait staff are polite and very attentive. Consistently cleared plates and refilled drinks. Busy location but we did not have to wait for a table“

“The food here is sensational. I ordered the orange chicken and it was around $8. That is an incredible price. My mouth was watering before I had my first bite. The food was so good I had to edge and I could barely control my urges. I 100% recommend and I will be coming back:)“

“My favorite Chinese take out spot in all of Highland Park (and it’s conveniently located a walk away for me)! The General Tso's chicken dinner is my go-to menu item (it even comes with a roll). The chicken Pad Thai is pretty solid too.“

“We have a graduation party for 40 people. The service and food were fabulous. Our guests were raving about the food. the staff did a wonderful job. This is a must try! thank you Hannah and staff for a wonderful and memorable party!“

“I enjoyed my experience. Vivien really went above and beyond to anticipate our needs. The food was good. We ordered three different chicken dishes: Cashew Chicken, Chicken and Broccoli, and lemon Chicken. All of them tasted unique. Their YanYan Special rice was great and had a good amount of shrimp. The over all experience was to my liking.“

“We have been going to Chinatown Kitchen since their kids were little and now they are in college. The food has always been fresh and delicious. Takeout area always clean and you can see an area of kitchen same way. We have certain preferences that we do not want put into the food and we are very happy the results and the tastes. Have on occasion, friends, tried other places, but always went back to Chinatown Kitchen. Like a good marriage why go somewhere else if you are happy there?!!!!!“

“This has become our “go to” place for carry out. Excellent traditional Cantonese. Yes, great seafood menu, but it has a full variety of other choices. Really fast: I do phone or online order, live nearby and leave right away, yet order is ready when I arrive or within a couple of minutes.“

“Our little family has been regulars here, and honestly, this place never misses. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and it’s always one of those spots we’re genuinely excited to come back to.

Our top three favorites are the popcorn chicken cupbob, the beef brisket jjamppong, and the beef brisket jajangmyeon. The popcorn chicken cupbob is a must-try—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly paired with rice and japchae. The beef brisket dishes are rich, comforting, and packed with bold flavor, and the portions are big enough that sharing is easy (and encouraged). One bowl is more than enough for two people.

The spice level of the jjamppong is just right—not too spicy, just the kind that warms you up and makes winter feel a little more bearable. Add fast, friendly service, and you’ve got a winning combo.

If you’re already at H Mart or hunting for a food court gem with big flavors and even bigger portions, this spot is definitely worth a stop—and probably a repeat visit.“

“I was in area and stopped in. The nice woman at the counter suggested the General Tso Chickin. I proceeded to order the combo which came with fried rice and an egg roll.
All of which I felt was very delicious and portion size was more than I could eat in a sitting.

Thank you for the great food and conversation while I ate in your restaurant!“

“This place is the best in the area! The beef is tender, the sweet and sour chicken isn't dried out, their salt and pepper shrimp is phenomenal! They have Taiwanese mai fun that are one of the best I've tried! Their egg foo young is savory and full of veggies! Beef chow fun is delicious! I can go on and on! I highly recommend ordering from here! The owner is super friendly too!“

“Have done delivery from here like 10 times and just wanted to give them a nod. Most of the Chinese food in the area is aggressive mid or worse.. this place slaps. You get your money's worth, and they're consistently great. Will order again- don't go anywhere else in the area or you'll have sad food.“

“Great, hot, fresh food. Authentically prepared. Old school atmosphere. Over the last few years, this place changed hands and took a beating from reviewers. All I know is I've continued to come throughout their transition and today at lunch was the best I've had. Accept their niche and you'll agree that they earn about 5 stars. Massive takeout biz sometimes gets in the way of the dining room, but not today at lunch. Oh, and the lunch specials are bountiful and served till 3pm. Beef Almond Ding, Fried rice, H&S soup included. Worth adding a traditional egg roll. Prepared, seasoned and rolled perfectly. I'm a sucker for pot stickers and the fried didn't disappoint either. I'll come again... Before 3:00, and enjoy a feast.

Dietary restrictions: They make food to order mask for what you need and be specific, and ask it to be repeated to assure you're understanding one another.“

“Friendly staff, very polite. Excellent food for pick up or delivery. You get a lot of food for the price and it’s really tasty. Tried the crab Rangoon, chicken fried rice, Singapore noodles and general tso chicken. All great dishes. Flavorful, didn’t even need to add extra soy sauce. Kids and adults loves every dish. No complains! Will order again for sure!“

“My experience was both positive and negative. The food was pricey but well worth it since you can get 2 or 3 meals out of it. My wife's sesame chicken had an abundance or sweet and sour sauce. Too much for her taste. My shrimp eggs foo young was great along with the egg rolls. My pickup experience was terrible. The sign says "ring the bell"to notify them you're there. After 3 rings and 5 minutes with no response I called them to let them know I was there. They finally came out, no apology just pushed the order thru the plastic and sign the receipt. Not even a thank you. I trust this rudeness was just the result of a bad day and not par for the course.“

“I've been trying local places around. So far this is my favorite Chinese. I will say, i was hesitant to try due to the prices. I'm can be very cheap at times. But the food looked good in the pictures and the restaurant has been in business for 50+ years so i decided to give in a try last week. I ordered the chicken and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, pork egg foo yung, pot stickers and crab ragoon. When i tried that pot sticker, it was the most delicious pot sticker i have ever eaten. And the egg foo young, delicious! Tasty flavorful sauce and the patty texture, egg to bean sprout and meat ratio, and taste was perfect! I have been searching for that consistency in an egg foo young for years and finally found it here. The other dishes were delicious as well. I requested for the chicken and broccoli to be in white sauce. Yum! It was worth every penny. Take my money please! I came back again today. I had to. I got the chicken egg foo young and more pot stickers. An order for myself and one for my husband. He loves the pot stickers as well. While i was there both times, i saw a lot of people come in to dine in and get drinks. Seems like a very chill environment to come have some food and drinks with friends. I am very satisfied with this restaurant. It has been a royal experience. Hope they stay open for the next 50 years!“
