50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Winnetka

“I LOVE Little Lans. I’m so happy to be in the area, I won’t go anywhere else for Chinese food or sushi! I highly recommend checking out their new sushi menu. I feel pretty lucky to know about this place, I’ve been a huge fan since my first visit in 1996.“

“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!“

“The best restaurant in uptown 👍👍“

“Good local food spot for tacos, burritos, quesadillas etc. I went an hour after opening so they didn't have steak or birria available.

Quesadilla was hot fresh and tasted great good cheese to chicken ratio. Salsa was watery so I feel like it didn't pair well with the quesadilla, more like a hot sauce.“

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

“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“

“Hi Hing Wang team,

I know this place since 2005, right after they moved from “under the Red Line train” to their actual address. Since then, I remember their chicken noodle soup was great. I say “was” because it’s not on the menu anymore. Their fried rice is amazing — I love it.

But today’s review is really because of the new lady there. She was cleaning every table, and it seemed like she was making sure everything was clean, or at least disinfected. When I arrived to pick up my order, I left my change as a tip. She called out to the kitchen staff and said, “Tips!” and everyone replied, “THANK YOU!”

I got excited, lol, and left even more tips. :)

Then, when she handed me my order, she said, “Thank you, have a nice day, and come visit again.” It blew my mind. I have never heard that from anyone at that place, haha. I got outside and checked again if I was at the same place.

Anyway, thank you for keeping the same taste all these years, and please keep that young lady there. She is perfect as a host.

Thank you!“

“Loved the food here! I went here with friends and family for the first time, very memorable! We went as a larger group of around 12 people. At first the staff told us that we would have to wait 30 minutes, but instead they decided to push a few tables together—so we could sit. It was very kind and thoughtful of them!! I absolutely loved the food, the sanji and dumplings being my absolute favorite! My least favorite dish was the chili pepper chicken, it tasted acidic and me and my friends ate the rice rather the chicken. Its personal preference though, so you might like it! The atmosphere was very nice and personally very cute in numerous ways!“

“I have ordered food here twice and it is SO good! I have gotten beef & broccoli, kung pao chicken, egg rolls, fried rice, and beef chow fun. The staff is kind and the food is made quickly. This is my go-to spot now! Thank you Chop Suey Huang 😊“

“This is an excellent place if you’re in the mood for Chinese food 🍜✨ They offer a wide variety of dishes, so there’s always something tasty to choose from no matter what you’re craving 😋 The food is flavorful, well-prepared, and consistently satisfying 👍 The staff is also very professional and kind, which really adds to the overall experience 😊 You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. It’s a comfortable spot to enjoy a good meal with great service all around ❤️ Definitely a place I’d recommend and come back to again 🥢🔥“

“Wow truly a hidden Gem! 🤩 A must try for Chinese lovers!! My boyfriend got me dinner from here~ he grew up in the area & we are in our 30s so that shows how long they’ve been around! I got the sweet & sour chicken which is amazing! I LOVE that the fried chicken pieces are separate from the sauce~ the chicken stays crispy!! Very tasty! The employee was also very sweet! Definitely take out only vibes. Cash only as well! We’ll be back for sure! Thank you🔥“

“Best in the biz in the neighborhood.“

“First time here loved the lunch special great price surprisingly good quality food the beef Mongolian was tender not tough and chewy like most restaurants, you can tell the cook takes pride in her cooking and makes it the best she can must be passed down from. Her family , great chef ty“

“The coziest spot for Chinese comfort dishes! Everything was honestly delicious. Plus the service was so friendly and great! The portions are huge — great for sharing multiple plates with a group. The sesame chicken breading is perfect. The lo fon noodles were delicious.“

“The guy that answered the phone and took my order could have sounded like he was interested or at least a little bit friendly. Other than that I do have to say they're sweet and sour chicken is probably the best around. They're fried rice is also delicious. It's been a while since I was there so when I go back I'll update on the next dish that I get. All in all it's definitely good food.“

“The food is good but make sure to check your bag I tipped and asked her did she put soy sauce in the bag and she said yes knowing she didn’t and I have a large shrimp fried rice for little ones and no sauce ugh I’m more mad at the lie if it was a accident then ok but for me ask and tip and not get what I asked for is a slap in the face!“

“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 ordered from here and it was an awesome find! They have a lot of typical looking dish that I have not tried but I will talk about what I did order. First I got the egg rolls and my wife and I both agreed they were very good. I do think they could use a bit more Chinese five spice or something to make them a bit more flavorful. The chicken with spicy garlic sauce was very delicious and tasted fresh and I loved all the veg they added. A solid Chinese dish. The one thing that is great about this place is they master the Chinese and Korean dishes. The Cha Chiang Mien (Korean jajangmyeon noodles) is a popular dish here and it’s no wonder. It is so decadent and amazing! Loved this so much!!! Also had something very unique and equally amazing and that was Spicy Noodle Platter with shrimp, squid, pork and veggies in a savory spicy sauce. This is really awesome! Probably one of my new favorite Asian dishes. I will try more of their food but this first experience was incredible! Yumm!!“

“ALWAYS delicious food, courteous staff!! 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽“

“The food here is fantastic“

“Great spot with friendly people. Went there a little late after the night market and didn’t realize they were going to be closing soon. Super kind about it and had no issues serving us or letting us stay, even though we ended up taking the food to go so they could close up.

Food was delicious as well! Combo fried rice has a lot of meat, honey shrimp was crisp, and eggplant tofu was perfectly cooked.“

“Quiet hole in the wall spot with some of the best food in the area. The owner is kind and works really hard to make quality food. A lot of Chinese American restaurants can have a sort of mass produced feel and use the same suppliers but you can tell a lot of love and pride goes into the food here.“

“Kind of expensive. Cabbage with a few drops of bacon $16.. two small spicy hotpot fish didn't taste so fresh sliced into 4 filets $50. Overall atmosphere is good and clean and plates are brought out by robots first before the server put them on the table. Overall probably would go back again but not ordering those two items.“

“Hands down some of the best Chinese food in the city. I’m talking from the suburbs to China town.“

“This was really good, I had the combination rice and the orange chicken and I've had their dumplings in the past, all have been really good. The fried rice had a very good portion size and plenty of protein, the orange chicken was tasty, just your classic American orange chicken. The dumplings were decent even though the wrapper was a bit thick. I'd say this is a really good bang for buck place.“

“Hoanh Long in North Park is straight fire. Hit it up for lunch – kicked things off with two shrimp spring rolls, then a massive beef pho and spicy lemongrass stir-fry with tofu. Broth legit rich, stir‑fry packed with flavor, and the portions were huge—perfect Chicago-style appetite. Chill café feels, service super friendly, and parking’s doable before 7pm. Can’t wait to go back!“

“This place is one of the best restaurants I've been to in the northern suburbs, it's hard to find good Sichuan style Chinese food but this place has it. I got the twice cooked chili fish was my favorite dish, the Mongolian beef had thick cuts of tender beef and seafood garlic fried rice was full of shrimp scallops mussels and fish. The menu has so much to choose from, I look forward to visiting again“

“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!“

“First time and we will definitely be back! Everything was delicious. Starting veggie spring rolls. 2nd pan fried pork pot stickers. Small pork fried rice, and lastly Beef and pea pods. All cooked perfectly. Had enough food for 2 dinners for both of us! Reasonably priced too.“

“Very relaxing place to sit and enjoy Pho soup“

“Authentic Chinese cuisine, orders for takeout is fast & accurate. The food is tasty. But stick to Chinese food selection. I made a mistake ordering pad Thai shrimp and it didn’t taste good. The shrimp is good but not the pad Thai noodles and sauce that goes with it.“

“Great selection of entrees. Crab Rangoon (yum!)! Super nice family runs it. Friendly service. 4 tables, so primarily take away, and not fancy, but they can accommodate you with a casual seating area if you want to dine in. Great portions, and beautifully cooked. Brown rice as an option, too.“

“If you're looking for a the local Chinese restaurant with great food,quick service and no bs come to China Hut. Grab your favorite combo and get a mango smoothie (with Tapioca). It's not fine dinning,it's delicious Chinese takeout and the owners are very respectful and always great you with a smile. Highly recommend. Regular customer.“

“BEST CHINESE FOOD IN ILLINOIS“

“Every meal at Great Chicago is a great meal!“

“I was the last customer of the night I got there right before closing the lady was so nice my dinner was great I will definitely go back.“

“I want to thank Tony for bringing the finest and most delicious Szechuan cuisine to the North Shore. I live downtown and have visited his restaurants in Chinatown and Michigan Ave. The food is exception each and every time I go to either location. When the "coming soon" sign popped up in Highland Park, I could not have been more thrilled, considering the food at our local chinese restaurants refuse to raise the bar on their food. There is no better Szechuan restaurant in the Chicago area or beyond. The food, the staff, and the service are all exceptional and executed with perfection and passion. This has been the most anticipated opening on the northshore for a reason. Lao is simply unbeatable. I love it love it LOVE IT!!!!!“

“Really reasonable must try“

“Yum. I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl. And their jjajjang and jjampong and kampoong shrimp is fire. I love their everything but these Korean Chinese dishes! Palbochae and yusanseul so good too and the owner and brother in kitchen are the sweetest humans!“

“Exceptionally fine and delicious cuisine. Friendly and hospitable service and staff. There was a problem with my order and they went out of their way to make it right. Having tasted Chinese menus around the world, Hunan Springs is # 1.! Recommend placing orders by telephone.“

“Had a wonderful meal at Hon Kee Restaurant on Winthrop. The Peking duck was excellent, and the pompano with black beans was especially memorable, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the service was warm and welcoming. Definitely a spot that we always come to and will continue to support!“

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

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

“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!!!“

“Second time ordering. The food is absolutely delicious and they deliver pretty quick. Two and a half years looking for good Chinese and I found it. Five Stars.“

“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! :)“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“Always delighted to find Teochew restaurants in the US and it’s always an automatic 5 stars. Double Happiness is a real no frills hole-in-the-wall serving authentic food that tastes like home. The menu is written in English, Vietnamese, Thai 🙂‍↕️, and Chinese - love to see it! The real star of the meal for me was the fried garlic oil (wish I snapped a pic)… just perfection, I kept reaching for scoop after scoop… it’s a must-add to every dish… trust.“
