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.“

“Best dumplings I’ve ever tasted!“

“Lo recomiendo 💯, todo muy delicioso“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“Saw this place on TikTok and decided to drive up north to try it. I must say it was definitely worth the trip. Some of the best Chinese I’ve had in the city will definitely be returning. I got the barbecue pork beef fried rice spicy no vegetables only egg with the crispy fried chicken, wings, and crab Rangoon chefs kiss“

“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.“

“The food is always solid, poIite staff, pretty fast outside of lunch/dinner hour. If you are looking for a recommendation, you can't go wrong with the basics: chicken fried rice, orange chicken, egg foo young, or wonton soup. Items I also recommend: Mongolian beef or salt and pepper shrimp.

I eat there so frequently I felt it's time I owed them the rating they deserve.“

“I have been coming here twice a week for 6 months. Their General Tso's is my go-to order.
Everything is always super fresh and remarkably consistent. Their ready times are spot on! Your order is ready when you want it to be! I don't like ordering for a specific time and it be ready wayy early or take too long after.
They have competitive pricing, respectable portions, and great flavor.“

“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.“

“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 ‼️‼️‼️“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“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! 🤎“

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

IN SO HAPPY!!
I almost didn’t try them cause there cash only
Got the Kung pow chicken with fried rice and egg drop soup 2 hot sauces 15$

Everything is on POINT!!

I found my Chinese place 🙌 thank you guys!!
-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.“

“Order the Thai Red Curry off the takeout menu... it is our favorite dish. In fact, the staff at Jin Asian knows our order when we walk in the door. I get the chicken, my fiance gets the beef, and we have them add mushrooms to both. That, plus the Crab Rangoon with apricot-based sauce, makes one of my favorite meals in the city. The restaurant is never crowded, and the service is very friendly.“

“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.“

“This place is awesome! We went for a girls night and enjoyed the whole hotpot experience! The lamb is halal here, so we were happy to have a meat option. However, the veggie broth itself is so flavorful—having just veggies would have been just fine! By the end of the night we were drinking cups of the broth, because of how flavorful it was!! If you like spicy, definitely get the spicy broth! You won’t regret it. Appreciated how clean the place was—the staff were great about checking in and refilling the broth regularly! Will definitely be going back for more!!“

“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!

“Best and I mean BEST egg rolls in the city.
I've never had better orange chicken, everyone ive brought here agrees. Every dish ive ever had has been out of this world. The staff are amazing ...portions and prices are unbeatable. I almost forgot the handmade potstickers!!! Truly Delicious.
Once you have En Lai , they will become your GO-TO Chinese place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We ordered three items from the restaurant and all of them were really good. However the Chow Mein (Fideo Tostado) with Crispy Noodles, was missing the crispy noodles. We reported this in the app, and the restaurant gave that item to us for free. We are giving five stars because of the exceptional customer service.“

“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!“

““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.

“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“

“I just ordered from this café through UberEats. Actually, this is my third or fourth time trying their food, and every single time it’s absolutely incredible. The dishes are unbelievably delicious, the portions are generous, the ingredients are always fresh, the prices are reasonable, and the menu is very diverse. This might be the best Asian food I’ve ever had in my life.“

“Food was pretty good in you're in a pinch, plus they open early. The interior is cozy and neat and their service was quick and amicable. Ordered chicken curry, chicken fried rice, and a couple of eggrolls. The eggrolls were pretty standard and the fried rice was tasty, albeit just a bit too oily, and the chicken curry was fragrant and scrumptious but not as spicy as I would have preferred. Overall, quite decent. Cheers!“

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

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

“The food here is fantastic“

“Has been my go to for take-out American Chinese food over the past few years. It feels like it used to be more consistent in quality but the last few times I have gotten food here it really has been a miss, while prices keep climbing up. The last few chicken dishes I have gotten have been a mix of soggy, lacked proper sauce, over cooked, freezer burn, and /or tasted like old oil. The noodles and or rice have had similar experiences.

I was hesistant to leave a review as it has been good more than bad and I am still giving them 4 stars, but the last few times were bad enough to say something.“

“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“

“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“

“Best chicken wings in the whole city! The spicy sauce has a nice kick.“

“Food and service are top notch. Tasty food.“

“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.“

“I have ordered for years! Always happy!!! My favorite is Chicken with String Beans/no spice. Perfect!! My husband loves Shrimp and Broccoli ,never a problem!!!“

“I ordered the egg foo young and kung pao pork dinners, plus pot stickers. All were good, and I was very happy with the portions for the price. I just wish I'd known that there were cashews in the kung pao pork. It's difficult to see the ingredients in their online ordering options. I hope they get a real website with menu information one day. The pot sticker skins could have been thinner as well.“

“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.“

“Highly recommended!! The food is amazing!!“

“We were in our way to the airport and decided to get dinner. The service was fast, the person in the front (owner?) was so friendly and personable. The restaurant is really spacious and lovely. The biggest treat was finally eating our meal and it was the best Chinese food I’ve had. So delicious! The portions are very generous and they did not skimp on the shrimp. I highly recommend this place.“

“It’s extremely difficult to find genuinely good, quality Chinese food in Chicago; luckily my boyfriend and I discovered this place back in June after living in RP for five years. The people who work here are always pleasant when we come in, and delivery never takes long, so our food arrives fresh! :)“
