“This Panda was pretty busy during lunchtime, I wonder how many of us was using the buy one get one free coupon ?Because the place was busy most of the items was freshly cooked, my mushroom chicken was tasty and so was the teriyaki chicken too, just coming off the grill.“
“The food is absolutely delicious. Fast, convenient, and oh so much flavor! I had the fried chicken steak jianbing and we also tried the original egg waffle and salted egg yolk waffle. Very excited to have them in the neighborhood and already can't wait to stop in again.“
“This is a dope spot in lakeview that has a great vibe, with good cocktails and food. It has a low key vibe but still buzzing on the inside. Service is great and they make you feel right at home once you walk in. Food is good. I think I need to go back and try a few other selections. Tried their signature beef rib ramen and it was good I just might not be the biggest fan of soup type dishes. The rib didn’t have that much flavor to me but was still good ramen. What I loved most was the Smoked brisket chow mein and the Short ribs. They were amazing. We tried their meatballs and I do not recommend them. Completely overcooked. Shrimp wontons were Fire tho!! I will forsure be back to explore their menu more. Definitely check this spot out! Highly Recommended!!“
“The Peking duck three ways is the absolute move. The fried rice is good The egg rolls are excellent and the Chinese broccoli and bok choy are the bomb. They were low on beers as far as selection but everything else is always top notch here. Make sure you get a reservation because they can sell out of duck fairly quickly“
“Food was hot, flavorful, and served fast! Automatic tea with the table which was SUPER good. BYOB, but there’s a Target across the street and they provide glasses. Seems like a popular local and tourist spot. Def recommend!Wheelchair accessibility: Two relatively wide doors to get through on a slight ramp, but I witnessed both a wheelchair user and cane user navigate the doors and restaurant with no problem. Staff was attentive to holding doors, pulling out tables, and asking if they needed anything else for their meal.“
“Went to try this place for my 1st time. When I went in I wasn't sure if I was in the right place. They have construction going on inside and there wasn't a name on the building or inside. Felt confused if I was in some type of office warehouse or something not sure. But I have to admit their food was amazing ?. They have so many choices to pick from. I definitely will be going back to try different plates. The price for the bowls is fair not over priced.“
“I’ve gone here multiple times and done takeout multiple times. It is honestly a favorite neighborhood gem. The service when dining in is truly great and some of the best in Lakeview!! The food is always consistent and the atmosphere is quite adorable…great for friends or date night - either way! Thank you to the staff! A young gentleman was our server twice and he was phenomenal.Favorites: Shanghai Lo Mein & Mongolian Beef“
“We went to furama for dim sum & drag! delicious dishes with lots of vegetarian options and fun drinks. Beautiful big room, perfect for the event! Employees were helpful and accommodating for dietary restrictions. Will definitely be returning!“
“The chili chicken was one of the best entrées I’ve had in the last 10 years. Their food is fantastic every time that we’ve been there and the service cannot be beat. This is a great family owned establishment and there’s no reason to go to any other Chinese restaurant in the city of Chicago Stars.“
“Such a fun dining experience with so many options and unique items to try.I actually recommend doing the a la carte menu because you can still leave feeling really full and get a good variety for even less than the all-you-can-eat price.I really enjoyed the lively atmosphere for dinner (but we did have to wait a while), so if you are looking for the dining experience minus the bustling atmosphere, lunch is the way to go!Some of our favorites were the sliced lamb, quail eggs, fresh noodles, broccoli, and mushrooms.“
“Also known as Asawon, my family has been coming to Peking Mandarin for decades. This is one of the few remaining classic Chinese-Korean restaurants that serve a lot of Chinese-American food and a handful of Chinese-American dishes that are enormously popular among Koreans. They also serve excellent champong, a classic spicy seaweed soup that is not too dissimilar to menudo, sans the tortillas. The trio of dishes we usually get are the spicy chicken wings aka lollipop wings (also available in boneless pork here), sweet and sour chicken (tan sauce, vs. the orange sauce in the American Chinese version), and black bean noodles. Last time we also threw in Mongolian Beef, which was surprisingly outstanding. Not sure if it was just a lucky day but the beef was infused with a smoky wok hei, unlike most Mongolian Beef dishes that are usually kind of watery and bland. I also like the black mushrooms & tofu, a classic Chinese American dish. The popular wings can sometimes be a little overcooked but the thick spicy sauce is usually on point. The primary competitor, Great Seas down the street, might have slightly better wings in a thinner more nuanced sauce, but the black bean noodles here are more generously sauced and slightly better, I think. I go back and forth between which restaurant that I prefer. My spouse prefers Great Seas wings but my family prefers Peking Mandarin for the other dishes and overall. They have large tables and are used to serving large groups, especially on weekends. The service is just fair and can be almost non-existent when they are busy. Be patient and bring cash. The decor is outdated but people here are regulars who come for the food, not to be impressed by interior design. This is one of the Chicago pillar restaurants devoted to food, not trends. I feel like those keep closing - let's keep this one open.Parking: Parking can be tight - we usually manage to find a spot in the diag spaces on St. Louis south of Lawrence.“
“What a lovely marvel - a mid century modern, quietly spacious Chinese restaurant with a select menu that fits in a small, two page flyer. The service was super friendly and gracious, all questions answered. We had a small dim sum lunch and each dish was prepared to order, some of the best I've had - steamed shrimp dumplings, bbq pork bau, sticky rice with pork wrapped in a leaf and steamed. Even the subtle music - beautiful jazz singing - made us happy. I so want to come back to this gem next time I'm in CHI.“
“Genuinely my favorite hole-in-the-wall in all of Chicago. We don't need to talk about how much I've been here - it would embarrass you because you've never been that committed to anything. You don't go here to hang; you go here to slap exactly $17 in cash on the counter, tell them you came to pick up a large order of BBQ pork fried rice, and then leave to go and house that on your own because you deserve it goddammit. Seriously though, this place has no vibe, just take your magical tasting food and go home with it. They put all their effort into flavor and don't need to be bothered by how their restaurant made your insta story look. This also may seem expensive for fried rice, but this is some of the best stuff in the city, and one order is easily two meals - they heap the portions so big that it barely fits in the container Note: There's an ATM if you forgot cash“
“In Chengdu, the dumplings taste great and are so authentic that they are endlessly memorable. In addition to dumplings, their grilled fish is also very good and delicious. The deliciousness of the dumplings is especially worth mentioning, every bite is the ultimate enjoyment for the taste buds.At Chengdu Image, the dumplings are incredibly delicious and authentically flavored, leaving a lasting impression. Besides the dumplings, the grilled fish is also quite good, with a delightful taste. The deliciousness of the dumplings deserves special mention, as each bite offers a supreme pleasure to the taste buds.“
“delicious, consistent, good portions, hole in the wall. their orange chicken is a bit different from panda but in my opion, better, especially if you order them spicy. very friendly staffs too, if you don't know what you want they can always make great recommendations.“
“Great hand made noodles, price was very reasonable for the dish I got, and the room was cute and well kept. It's not fancy fine dining, with all the extra fluff but it was a great place to pop in for dinner from the hotel I was staying at around the corner.“
“the food is always incredible, perfectly light and filling at the same time! The crispy chicken aioli baowich always wins and the creative baonuts hit the sweet tooth without knocking it out. I cant recommend this place enough, amd so far I've only done delivery! huge soft spot for being the first bit of food I was able to keep down and enjoy on a very sick day. THANK YOU FOR AWESOME, COMFORTING, DELICIOUS FOOD!“
“Great food! We have only had it delivered, have not been in the restaurant. Very satisfied with the food and time to prepare it. Fresh ingredients with lots of flavor and big portions! Have been happy with everything we've ordered and have ordered several times. Highly recommend for delivery or pick-up, cannot speak to sit-down experience.“
“Stopped here to pick up dinner and to check out the food. The fried rice was very fresh filled with lots of veggies. Egg rolls were decent and much better than most restaurants. Woman was extremely nice and food was freshly prepared and fast.. will definitely be back to try other options.“
“Ordered from here for the first time, as it’s super close by and I’m beyond impressed. They left a nice personalized note with my order and the food was to die for. I had the crispy garlic sesame fusion chicken bowl with the garlic butter fried rice and chicken dumplings. The combination of flavors was amazing and for a great price. I can’t wait to try more things on the menu. Thank you so much! Sorry didn’t take a picture of the food as I couldn’t wait to dive in. It looked scrumptious!“
“Returning tomorrow after about ten years or more. The restaurant is very tight between tables so it wasn’t handicapped friendly for my late mother who loved this place prior to being on a wheelchair, which is one reason why we stopped going there. Cleanliness was another issue, especially the washroom. I hope the restaurant has improved.“
“Sooo fantastic! I asked for wonton soup..Korean wings & spring rolls. I'll say that I will be a FOREVER customer now..the wings were the BEST I've ever had,so crunchy and the seasoning was spot on~the flavor was mmmmMMmm also ,the soup tasted like it was JUST made.. i was really happy when i saw that i was given rice as well! ..most importantly for me, this food was REALLY clean and by that I mean -ingredients that were selected & prepared with intent..no "after taste" no grease..just delicious homemade honest food! Thank you!Parking: Wouldn't ever be an issue“
“We had dinner after a long day and we wanted something easy and delicious. The staff here is always kind and hospitable.Their take on General Tsoa and Orange chicken are fantastic. Dinner portions are always enough for almost two meals.Great neighborhood Chinese restaurant!“
Vietnamese • $
“I’ve been getting food from here (mostly carry out) for more than 10 years and the food is still delicious! One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. My husband loves their pho, my son loves their pork over rice, and my favorite is the sate soup and noodles. The staff there are very nice too! Thank you Hoanh Long!Just writing this review is making me hungry! hehe“
“Finally made it here last Saturday. I was expecting to encounter overhyped food but was gladly mistaken. Everything we had was fresh to order. I do not have any complaints. We will definitely be going back to try other items. I have tried many Asian restaurants and have been mostly let down. This restaurant and Wah Sun are the only restaurants I will go to.“
“I tried this restaurant for the first time today because my favorite local restaurant is closed on Mondays-but I think I may have found a new favorite here! The food was amazing. I got delivery and everything was hot and packaged with care. I had a slight issue with my order, not because of the restaurant, but due to the 3rd party delivery service that I ordered with. The man who called me on the phone from the restaurant was very polite, understanding, and accommodating, and he quickly resolved the problem. I ordered the Mongolian (beef), sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and crab rangoons. Everything was perfect! I will definitely be back again.“
“Best Asian restaurant for vegan options. I have 2 favorite restaurants in Chicago and this is one of them. So so good! Friendly staff and fast service. Good portions. Inside is very very small ... Like super small but you can eat in if there is space. I come with my family (6-7 people) and we're usually able to sit with tables put together.Vegetarian options: Separate vegetarian section on the menu, most of it is vegan too.Kid-friendliness: Bring kids all the time.“
“I'm so happy to have learned about this spot. They have all the good normal Chinese dishes like orange chicken, Mongolian beef, etc, but I came specifically for the Korean Chinese dishes, jjajangmyun and tangsooyook. This is the best jjajangmyun I've had in the city in a long time. The tangsooyook (which is a Korean Chinese version of sweet and sour beef) was also on point, so crispy and delicious. These dishes are comfort food to me and they were done so well here, really made me so happy tonight. Service was excellent and the pricing is very fair. We will be back very soon!!! They have free parking, but the restaurant is also surrounded by pay to park spots if needed.“
“So, Im a very picky person especially with my food but I will try anything onetime if I don't like it I will never purchase it again. I have to say after reading the reviews it's definitely a must buy. Im literally addicted to this food as of right now. It is soooooo good and always fresh. The service is quick and the lady at the front desk is always so kind and respectful. I would recommend anyone to go get a bite. Thank you for your service and good original food.“
“The food was delicious. It was just not clear about their menu; there were none at the restaurant so there were discrepancies between what I saw online and what I was told I could order. While waiting 12 year olds came in and out with ice cream bars and I couldn't see where they got them from. Glencoe is bizarre.“
“Our go-to when we want a bunch of chinese takeout. Fair prices, big portions, always fast and hot. The dinner combos are a good deal and can stretch to 2 meals easily. We stick with classics like sesame chicken, egg rolls, and the chicken wings.“
“20 February 2024 on vacation from MI. While staying in a hotel, less than 2 miles away, I had a taste for Chinese. I google, searched for some tasty authentic chinese food. Happy I came across Hoa-My. The food was surprisingly good. I had the dinner special shrimp in garlic sauce#12. I really liked the beef fried rice, very tasty. The owner was very friendly.“
“one of my favorite pan-asian spots in chicago! the food is always so delicious and fresh, i've gotten it delivered, picked it up, and sat in and every time it's fire. it seems to be family owned, as sometimes there are kids/teens taking my order or serving me, which I love supporting! very attentive and quick to bring the food. if you come, don't miss out on the smoothies. my girlfriend and I will sometimes even come just for the smoothies. they are made with fresh fruit that you see them blend and make right in front of of you. they are so good! I come here pretty often, and highly recommend.“
“This place is truly a hidden gem with affordable prices, friendly service, good portions, and delicious food. There weren't many people when we went but the hole in the wall vibe actually made it feel more homey. For the dinner specials you get to choose the type of rice and you get an egg roll with it, although if you order online you can choose a drink instead of the egg roll (all less than $15). My dish was pretty good, there were a lot of vegetables but I liked that since I don't get much of it otherwise lol. They also didn't skimp out on the amount of shrimp and the fried rice is the classic takeout kind you can't get enough of. Definitely recommend stopping by!“
“This place is LIT. I am so picky and such a food snob, this place has a great level of spice, great flavors, every single thing I got was good. A little on the pricey side, wish portions for price were a little bigger, but SO good. Will be coming back.“
“I am not local, this is a regular go-to place for a friend, so when I visit with her, she wants to bring me. I had a Chinese Eggplant with chicken dish, flavorful and spicy. Also had some nigiri sushi, all very good. The Black Tobiko was plentiful and fresh. The Tamago and Inari, which are types of sushi that are deceptively simple seeming but really show a chef's knowledge and artistry, were excellent. I'm sure I will go again.“
“We lived in the area for a long time have kow moved to West Rogers Park so when we go back to visit Family we order from them were glad to say food is still great prices are still good will keep going back when we visit our old neighborhood. Keep up the great service.“

“We ordered for a party of 20 ladies and the food was absolutely delicious! They were so courteous and made the food exactly as we asked! Thank you wile will definitely be ordering again! Amazing food and serviceVegetarian options: Manchurian medallions, garlic tofu/paneer, eggplant schezwan, burnt garlic rice“
“The Beef Chow Mein was tasty but came with a small amount of little noodles that were fried. I think more detailed descriptions & pictures of their offerings online would’ve made this situation avoidable, as I’ve typically had to request for the noodles to be fried and the default is fresh “
“Food was great. Ate on location with colleagues first. Pass the taste test. Talked to Yan. She was very friendly and helpful with my catering questions. Ordered catering for 80 people. Delivery was on time. Food received great review. It was more than enough to feed 80. Will cater again in the future.“
“best chinese food you will ever get i’ve grown up with this place and it is absolutely fabulous! The customer service is incredible and the food is outstanding I have not yet been to a place that’s better then Hunan star I truly don’t believe there is a better chinese cuisine better then this!“
“My family loves Ho Ho! We've been ordering from here for over 20 years. Even my children enjoy the food now. It's exciting that they recently added new items to the menu. We've tried many noodle dishes, rice dishes, and appetizers. Ho Ho has one of the best hot sauces! We will continue to order from here a few times a month.“
“The people are nice and are working hard. I can tell. I stopped in on the way back from Chicago and I had the BEST avocado roll ever. The avocado was so fresh. I don't think you'll regret coming by when you need something easy to eat :)“
“If you want the best food down in highland Park you should definitely try this place out honestly God I've been going here for years I just moved farther away so now I got to take a trip to get out here to to get the best Chinese food ever I love their combination rise or fried rice I love the sweet and sour chicken and I just like everything on the menu to be honest my family loves going here I always love going here again I just would like 2 hours away so I can't come here often but when I do The guide knows who the heck I am and ask about what's been happening besides that is the best service ever get they're quick fast and would recommend this to anybody and everybody“
“Really good place, fast delivery, fresh food!, egg rolls were fire big dawg. Really good place, fast delivery, fresh food!, egg rolls were fire big dawg. Really good place, fast delivery, fresh food!, egg rolls were fire big dawg. Really good place, fast delivery, fresh food!, egg rolls were fire big dawg.“
“This place has great lunch specials, and for a little more, you can do the same for dinner specials. They have huge fried chicken wings that are so good, very crispy but tender and juicy. The delivery people are Lee's Wok staff, and I've never had an issue with the delivery. This is not a place to dine in, so there is not much atmosphere, but really, this is a pick-up or delivery place, but it's worth it.Vegetarian options: They can make almost anything vegetarian. I'm not a vegetarian, but I love the veggie egg foo young.Parking: This is part of a lot with several businesses, but you can find parking since most businesses there are pick-up and go.“
“Back to Chicago after years, discovered this amazing place today! I have been transitioning/moving and had to eat out a lot lately. I don't often write reviews but this is truly the best meal I've had this year. I asked what's good, they said General Tso's chicken. Hands down the best variation of the dish I've ever had. the fried rice was delicious and the portions were enormous, I can put away some food and this delicious freshly made crispy yummyness was probably enough for 2 may be even 3 portions/meals. Oh I also had the best crab Rangoon ever, way too much food but I hadn't eaten all day. Needless to say at $12.96 for all that, I will be trying everything on the menu and probably write another review.Vegetarian options: I requested a vegetarian eggroll which they made fresh for me.“
“combination chow mein is always good. Beef with vegetables, salt and pepper smelt and pork chop are very good. their orange chicken needs improvement. The pho is good too although they need to provide addled housing and chili when they serve.“
“They're fine for what they are which is a city version of a strip mall Chinese restaurant. It's not particularly inexpensive unless you get a lunch or dinner combo. That's their strength. Otherwise they sometimes close a little early if it's slow. They're not very friendly though not rude. And the quality and timeliness is very inconsistent. My advice, go well before closing and get a combo. If you need more than 3 packets of sauce total, ask them or you won't get it. And they never include hot mustard sauce if you like it, which I do. It's average but not bad.“
“We had never visited this restaurant before last night and wow, it was fantastic. Our server, Justin, couldn't have been more gracious or accommodating to our needs, despite having to cover many other customers. My wife asked if he ran track, and yes, he used to be on the team in school. We asked for his chicken recommendation and he clued us in to a wonderful dish called Flower chicken. Tender white meat, simple vegetables and a delightful, light sauce. All the food was fresh and flavorful, the atmosphere was relaxing on a busy Sunday evening and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. We will be back.“
