1. Tang's Chinese Restaurant

Reviewed By HarryBGurnee_IL
My readers know I often decry our times of "diminished expectations" - finally here's a case in reverse! Tang's is NOT a takeout hole in the wall with a few tables off to the side. Rather, it's an actual restaurant with comfortable seating - booths, large tables for family groups, AND a takeout area. Consider the locale as one ponders the reviews suggesting a "cheap buffet & coupons" - this is a place where one sits down to take a repast! Those who take out only to eat with their peeps while staring at their phones need not tread here......My daughter and I decided to stay closer than the Rt 60 mungbean corridor, and did indeed sit for a fantastic dinner. Granted the waitress didn't really have a clue how to serve a dining guest. Granted she hid by the takeout register, seemingly uncomfortable with human interaction. The elders in the kitchen know - those who sit are hugely rewarded!The kid had a traditional Mandarin dish; I however found a couple of nonstandard entries lurking downstream.....sauteed green beans with dried shrimp and BBQ pork: salty due to the shrimp, but absolutely authentic! A second dish of Hong Kong noodles (mixed proteins) was delicious with a gentle hint of curry powder. All three dishes were served steaming hot (as was the generous tureen of rice), and in bountiful proportion. Bottom line - the parking lot is a "ghost town" because folks aren't sitting down to dine! The portions are unassailable once seen. No way could that platter EVER fit into a takeout carton! Put down the phone and pay attention to some REAL Chinese food while it's still there!
2. Panda Chinese Restaurant

I've never been disappointed with Panda (please don't confuse with the Panda Express chain). Whether big or small order, it's usually completed in 15 minutes or less. It's not uncommon for me to order, jump in the car right away and have it ready for me upon arrival. Catering order was ready when requested including the last batch of rangoons being freshly pulled out of the fryer as I paid. Because they're being efficient, the verbal service can be a bit brusque. The menu is wide and the food is very tasty at a great value. We've never had any friends or guests not be happy with the food. Crab rangoons, garlic chicken, and mu shu pork are definite hits. I suggest specifically ordering the pork eggroll over the default standard eggroll. There are tables to dine-in, but the atmosphere is that of fast food, so don't expect table service or fine finishes, but the food is better than the table-service Chinese restaurants in the area.

3. Henry Yee's Kitchen

Henry Yee's Kitchen is a very traditional Cantonese restaurant (with a few Sichuan-type dishes on the menu, which I would not order here). The menu is not imaginative in any way, but it is big enough to offer many of the standard choices (sweet and sour dishes, barbeque pork, shrimp in lobster sauce, etc). They do have real Cantonese style chow mein, with pan fried noodles, rather than the Americanized style with packaged crisp noodles (though they have the Americanized style as well). We found everything to be quite good, but nothing was outstanding. The hot and sour soup was well balanced, though it could have used a bit more heat. The Cantonese style shrimp chow mein was perhaps a bit more salty than I like it, but it had plenty of shrimps, the vegetables were crisp and clearly fresh. And the portion was very large. The barbeque pork was also well done. The cooking does seem to me authentic in its style and execution.

Hey, it's a Chinese takeout, not white tablecloth and candles. BUT, if you've been going to that other place down the road, try this one. Food excellent, nice people, great prices. This is our go-to place for Chinese takeout!
5. Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant
Reviewed By Jennifer D
I am sooooo happy every time we order from here. I used to eat at Yen Yen in Arlington Heights and this is the first Chinese food I liked out here. The Family that works there is very friendly. They seem to like you and smile and give quick service. While waiting there is a couple single women (nice) dining in. Last time I was there, three little Chinese boys were playing cards ....Classic! This is however not a fancy place. Super Casual dine in and Carry out OK.
