We were in Morton Grove and decided to have dinner at China Chef. We were seated immediately and were brought tea and menus. We decided to go with something different, rather than two big entrees. We asked for the China Chef appetizer with four tasty ribs, 4 skewers of satay beef, two very large eggrolls and four pieces of crab Rangoon. Though the menu actually listed chicken fingers, we were brought the crab Rangoon because they were out of chicken fingers. It did seem like a lot of food, but being just a big hungry, we decided on a single regular entree with no extras. We chose the shrimp and walnuts. There were enough large shrimp on a bed of lettuce, along with a large cup of white rice. The shrimp were hot and tasty, and the walnuts added a nice taste and crunch. The total price was reasonable. The service was efficient. While there, we noticed a good deal of take-out traffic.

Went here for 2nd time recently when I was back in the Chicago area. This place has an enormous menu and everything is good - must be over 100 choices at least. Visited with some family at my request since it was so good last time. I was again not disappointed. I had the Mapo Tofu which I had enjoyed in Nanjing, China. It was made different here with more sauce and silky tofu, but still very good. They are able to prepare dishes that are not spicy, as some of our party don't like hot food. Also able to kick it up to your desire. Everything was delicious. Salt and pepper scallop was delicious. I highly recommend Lao Sze Chuan and plan to go back next time I'm in town. Don't miss it! Also reasonably priced with nice sized dishes.

The Palace Chinese Restaurant is located at 9236 Waukegan Rd. in Morton Grove and it is part of a small strip mall. There is more than adequate parking and there is easy access, both, in to and out of the parking lot. We ate there, so we were seated immediately. The restaurant is a typical family-owned restaurant and about the only issue that I observed was that the decor might be a bit tired. The restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine, which is what we usually like. The crab Rangoon were really good and well-filled. The egg rolls were very good, as well. We ordered a Mongolian beef and a combination fried rice. Everything really tasted really good. The prices were more than reasonable.
