50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Wilmette

“BEST CHINESE FOOD IN ILLINOIS“

“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.“

“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“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

“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!!!“

“I’ve lived all over, traveled throughout the U.S., and tasted a lot of tacos… And I can say that the tacos here are absolutely some of the best in the country. It’s crazy that they’re so good. Very highly recommended. The birria tacos are amazing.“

“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“

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

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

“The fried rice is good. However they stopped using bean sprouts a year ago. Fried rice isn’t official without it. Most pics online have it. Service was OK. Took 10 minutes which is fine for fresh food. Fried rice was excellent, beef and broccoli very good and Orange chicken was nothing to brag about.

I drove an hour to come try them out. It was good food. Maybe not an hour away good, but if I lived in the neighborhood I’d be a customer.“

“I have been looking for a good Chinese food for the almost 10 years I’ve lived in the city of Chicago and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to try this place. I even live in the neighborhood. The orange chicken and fried rice was delicious. This place is definitely going to be my Chinese food rotation from now on.“

“Excellent Kung pao chicken, and the sauce has a very nice consistency. Not too thick. Also, they’ll make it extra spicy if you ask. Good veggie egg rolls too. Highly recommend. It’s mostly takeout/delivery, so I don’t really have a comment about the interior.“

“The best Asian food on the Northside. A bit pricey but the qaulity is top tier. Already looking forward to next time“

“Very great food and very fresh. They make it the way u would like it‼️‼️🤤🤤. I ordered a shrimp egg foo young, a combination rice, and 2 chicken egg rolls 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤 VERY moist and NOT greasy. I would recommend this restaurant for EVERYONE ‼️‼️‼️“

“Our favorite Chinese food restaurant in Chicago. Staff is friendly, food is delicious no matter what we get. Some of our favorites are the Wash Sun Chicken Wings, Noodle platter, Ma Po Tofu - but honestly anything is delicious from here.“

“Every neighborhood needs a place like this. It’s a shame the five star rating has become so overinflated because, this isn’t a 5 Star place, but I guess it does five stars at doing what it’s supposed to do. This is a very simple, very basic Chinese restaurant that serves really good food. It’s never going to win an award, but you don’t always want those places. Anyway, we had a great meal there, the service was a bit of a hoot. Our meals were delivered at least 10 minutes apart, but the waitstaff was so sweet and so friendly you just couldn’t be upset over it. Plus, it was just me and my wife so we both nibbled at the first meal before hers got there.

Anyway, if you’re looking for fine dining, this ain’t it but if you’re looking for a good meal, then this would be the place to go if you’re in the area.“

“One word: Eggrolls! Unlike any others in most Chinese restaurants-- the spices and the peanut butter are the secret. For those who remember Pekin House on Devon, very similar eggrolls. I am so happy to have found this take out restaurant and I look forward to trying other dishes on their menu.... but I will most certainly always order some eggrolls to go. Delicious!“

“This was some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in a while!!! I ordered the crab rangoon, shrimp fried rice, and general tso’s chicken. Everything was fresh! The shrimp were big and clean, and the rice was nice and dark! IYKYK 😂. The crab rangoon were nice sizes. They give a great amount of everything— takeout boxes were overflowing in a good way. Everything was packaged nicely to prevent spills. The service was also great. The cashier was extremely kind and welcoming when I went to pick up my order. I will definitely be back! 🤎“

“I really enjoy the food such a good flavor I usually call my order in and have it delivered very nice on the phone and fast delivery this time I walked in an ordered the service was even better thank you keep up the good work you have delicious food“

“Finally!!! A GOOD CHINESE PLACE THAT USES REAL CHICKEN

-a customer that likes quality“

“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.“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“This was my first time in Glencoe to watch a show at Writer’s Theater, and I stopped by this place for a meal before the show. It seems to be the only Chinese restaurant in the entire town and also one of the few places both open at night and relatively affordable.

My friend and I ordered the Walnut Shrimp Special and Sauteed Green Beans. We were told it would take 30 minutes, so we sat inside to wait, and the food came out right on time and piping hot. You can’t dine in the restaurant though, as they don’t have a dining license.

9 times out of 10, Chinese takeout will always hit for me, and Shanghai Garden was no exception. The green beans were flavorful and well-sauteed. The walnut shrimp had a nice crispy texture, tangy taste, and also came with broccoli and crispy noodle pieces.

The portions are large for the price and they also included a large box of rice with our order. For just $15 per person, we had a good amount of leftovers. Overall great value, tasty food, generous portions, friendly service— I would love to return if I’m in the area again!

The service is fast and friendly, perfect for takeout or a casual meal. If you’re craving flavorful and affordable Chinese dishes, China Express won’t disappoint!“

“I love this spot. Amazing hot & sour soup, egg drop has good strong flavor, the orange chicken they serve is nice and has a nice spice to it. The shrimp fried rice has very nice size shrimp. The chicken friend rice has a ton of chicken in it too. I really enjoy the fried wings (disconnected) as well, very delicious. I love the gravy from the shrimp with lobster sauce, good amount for shrimp for reasonable price. Always get the house sweet and sour chicken. It's superb. I will keep coming back to shop, lovely service fresh food“

“I grew up eating at Hunan Spring almost 15 years ago, so I stopped by hoping to relive an old memory with a friend after coming from Bensenville. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The lady who works there was nice, but the man was very rude. He gave me the wrong items, and when I called, he hung up on me. That kind of customer service is unacceptable. Be careful with your order and double-check it. I don’t usually write reviews, but this was a horrible experience especially compared to the good memories I had here years ago.all because I wanted so order lunch specials.?“

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

“Don’t sleep on this spot — seriously. This Chinese restaurant is a whole experience. The food? Always hot, fresh, and ridiculously flavorful. The sauces are unforgettable, the portions are generous, and the crab rangoons? So good we don’t even pretend to share — everyone orders their own. The staff is quick, kind, and on point every time. We’re here 4–5 times a month, and it never misses. Delicious, dependable, and reasonably priced — it’s easily in our top five.“

“The best restaurant in uptown 👍👍“

“I went a while back with my family, the portions are extremely large, they allow BYOB, and they are extremely good with service. The orange chicken is actually good orange chicken unlike most, and the food is over all really delicious. I also enjoy the Vietnamese iced coffee a lot.“

““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.

“SOOOOO GOOD! I had this restaurant for the first time today and it was amazing. We had it delivered and it was steaming hot when it was delivered and delivery was super quick and efficient. I am definitely going to be recommending this place to other people. The orange chicken is amazing!“

“I really like their sesame chicken! They use dark meat, which I prefer over white meat, and the flavor is just chef’s kiss. It’s very subjective, but their chicken is one of the tops for me! Oh, and they give you a lot! Also more affordable than others.“

“The take out portions are massive. Everything I’ve ever ordered has been excellent. Always cooked perfectly, always served very hot! Service is quick, efficient, and polite. I’ve never stayed to eat in. Lo’s gets my highest recommendation“

“Very happy that found this place has reopened. We used to come here for lunch and dinner, there is no other Asian restaurant in north shore we feel good to enter to eat. The menu with varieties and many Asian popularities dishes. Think this may be comparable from south Canal street China Town and the best one in the north shore neighborhood.

Parking: there is plenty free parking spaces.“

“Friends don’t sleep on Dai Yee’s Asian Kitchen… it is soo yummy 🤤“

“Really great food! Great value! It's probably the best for American Chinese.
I ordered the sesame chicken combo with vegetable rice. Other places serve a shrimp fried rice browned that looks like it was cooked with just soy sauce and a scattering of shrimp, or (in the case of vegetable rice) a few bits of vegetable rice I would swear was frozen. Here, the rice on the shrimp fried rice looks alive and fresh with a nice balance of tasty shrimp. There is always a generous helping of fresh steamed broccoli. The vegetable rice is excellent, and there are plenty of diverse fresh vegetables. Their tasty egg rolls are smartly done with a plethora of fresh ingredients in a crispy shell. While the seating area is not a place to take your date, the quality of the food and the speed of the service is top notch. Note: The food is a SWEET AMERICAN version of Mandarin Chinese.“

“The food here is fantastic“

“House special fried rice 🍚!!“

“Tasty food + great prices and wonderful service! The food was super fresh and delicious. We ordered the salt and pepper tofu (not spicy at all) and the salt and pepper pork (little to no spice) and the Singaporean noodles. If you want authentic Chinese food this is the best spot to go! The portions are perfect and the service was amazing.“

“Road tripping and looking for vegan food. This place has options. If you are staying by the Comfort Inn and Suites Chicago airport then take a 2minute walk over here to eat. Great food, friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Vegetarian options: Delicious vegan vegetarian options“

“This place was perfect for celebrating a birthday. We came on a Friday afternoon and it was pleasantly not busy until it got later into the afternoon. We choose their spicy broth and tomatoes one. There was an unlimited choice of meats to choose from and a station for making your own sauce. You could also get up and get some vegetables and noodles as well. They also had some appetizer and rice as well.

Definitely will be coming here again, also your birthday meal if you come on the day of is complimentary if you come with one other person.“

“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“
