There food is one of the best things in Chicago. I have been searching for good food in Chicago and this has been one of my favs

When visiting any Chinese restaurant I always get a bowl of Hot n Sour soup and Chinese Kitchen has a really excellent one. Outside of that I experiment with dishes that are not breaded and deep fried. Shrimp dishes have generous portions of shrimps. Beef with Broccoli is delicious as is the BBQ Pork W BROCCOLI. I GUESS I LIKE BROCCOLI. Mostly set up for take out but there are a few tables. read more

I forgot about this gem. Use to pick up food on the way home from JP Blu Line. Happy to say that the service to the food, still top notch. Ordered delivery (opened during holiday). The young lady that took my order was cheerful & on point. Even reviewed the order with me. Delivered fast & hott. Beef fried rice, chicken fried rice (get the xl 1/2 gal. big boy value size), Mongolian beef dinner combo & a few egg rolls. So delicious. Huge portions. read more

Ordered orange chicken and broccoli and the chicken wasn't fresh. Tasted like it was reheated or refried numerous times. Only 4 pieces of broccoli large dinner. This awful and will not eat there again. You try to support local business this is why we go out the community to dine during the week. We wait so make it fresh . read more

I recently just called in to place an order for delivery and owner/ employee of restaurant said that that they are unable to deliver order without tip on card you can't demand a tip for delivery and can't deny anyone of ordering for delivery from any restaurant as this is a really bad issue and this restaurant needs a new owner and manager she said it's cold outside if it's cold or not you can't demand anyone to tip if they don't have it read more

Food was fresh and appetizing. Ordered chicken noodle soup with an extra broth on the side, only received broth . Disappointed for first delivery with new owner....reached out to see thru chinese kitchen and the girl said she'd talk to the manager...haven't heard back. Also no more free soda !!! read more

DONT EVER order from here!!! THE LADY IS RUDE!!!!!! I ordered for pick up. And the young man was very sweet. I ordered 2 orders of sweet and sour chicken, and the food tasted moldy. Mind you, I served this to my kids.... I called the restaurant and explained the situation nicely, and the young man was very respectful. Then he passed the phone to a lady... she was very disrespectful and rude. She had the nerve to tell me "We had a lot of people order sweet & sour chicken and no one has had a problem." And I said okay but I tasted it, and im not the only who tried it and agreed on it tasting weird. The lady said okay bring it back, and ill refund your money, but next time buy somewhere else, i dont want to serve to you again. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME ORDERING FROM HERE AND MY LAST!!! I WAS NOTHING BUT RESPECTFULLY AND CALM! And she just went OFF!! I ordered a chicken fried rice too... and even the chicken from the fried rice was bad!! She commented to my review, deleted the COMMENT i screenshotted & then corrected herself with "Thanks for your opinion" VERY DISAPPOINTED!! read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. I walked in and was completely ignored. The woman behind the counter was on the phone the entire time--taking orders, chatting--without even acknowledging me standing right in front of her. When she finally hung up, I thought she'd help. Nope. She picked the phone right back up and continued ignoring me like I didn't exist. Beyond rude. To make matters worse, the place was disgusting. Dirty floors, strange smell, and just an overall vibe that screamed "we don't care." It's not just unwelcoming--it's unsanitary. I wouldn't eat here if it were free. This place seriously needs to be inspected and shut down until they figure out what "customer service" and "cleanliness" mean. Save yourself the headache and go literally anywhere else. read more

This is a must if you're looking for good Chinese food. The prices are affordable- the egg rolls are hefty! I would order daily if I could. We have tried 6 different dishes and they all were amazing . Good portions and fast service. The place is small inside, but they have about 10 chairs if you want to sit and eat. read more

This place has to be the worse Chinese restaurant around. I order the Szechwan chicken dinner special and hardly no chicken and mostly all onions. Never had this much onions in one dish. When I called the lady was rude and screaming on the phone. I will let the world know to run faraway from this place. Look at my picture attached. read more

They can't even make fried rice anymore. I say anymore, but I've really only gone back out of habit. It's been bad for a while. My kids had such good memories of this place and they would ask for it by name. Even the kids have finally given up on Chinese kitchen. It's really sad. read more

This was the shortest time between "done eating" and "explosive diarrhea" that I've ever experienced. The orange chicken was technically orange-colored but otherwise unrecognizable. Fried rice had no taste to it whatsoever. The chicken nuggets tasted suspiciously like they were purchased from McDonalds (which would be pretty clever). On the other hand, the place itself looked nice and clean, and the service was friendly. read more

If you want to get your beef fried rice on! This is the place to come and their egg rolls and potstickers are so yummy! Really great lunch specials. read more

Although they have a few tables, the Chinese Kitchen is primarily for delivery and carry out. We order from them, maybe once a week for a quick, tasty meal. read more

Chickity china, the chinese kitchen, grab a lunch special, and your brain starts tickin'..... Stumbled upon here during a leisurely stroll from the nearby divorced-Dad's laundromat, and decided to give it a try. This place doesn't seem to have air conditioning, as the dining area was rather warm. That's no bueno for this hot dude (pun intended?) but I guess sweat dripping down my forehead onto my dish adds flavor. Their lunch special menu is pretty extensive, and includes your "typical" American-Chinese plates, such as Egg Foo Young, chicken and broccoli, and Mongolian Beef. All lunch specials came with a tiny miniature eggroll, fried rice, and the dish itself. I ordered the Chicken with Broccoli with white rice. The dish had a decent amount of chicken but lacked much seasoning. Good thing, as mentioned, I was sweating like a sinner at church, so that helped with the flavor, but also at each table they had a tub of sweet & sour and soy sauce packets at your disposal. All food was served on Styrofoam containers and plastic ware. So if you're gungho about the environment, you're not going to be too happy about this place. Seating was all plastic booth chairs and the place had 4 booths. From the ambiance and everything, this place mainly serves takeout. I saw from the neighboring table, a couple of construction workers having some delicious-looking BBQ ribs, so I might give that a try next time I swing around. read more

Chinese Kitchen - Lunch special, chicken with broccoli. I elected white rice, but LS comes with fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place was so bad I can't believe I wasted my money here! The shrimp was so horrible. Had a bad smell. Food was not fresh. Lady behind the counter was rude! Not worth it boys! Threw out over half the food! Only ate it cus we were hungry and spent all this money on it. read more

Last night I had delivery via grub hub and sauce packets were missing. I called to ask whether I had to request them if I ordered next time. Lady who answered phone denied they were the place that sent food. I live nearby and checked grub hub and their address was listed on the order. When I called a second time, the lady acknowledged the order was from there. Forgetting a packet isn't that big a deal, but I was irritated about being given the runaround. The food tasted okay and there was plenty for leftovers. Unfortunately after the gastric attack that ensued less than an hour after eating, the leftovers have been disposed of. At least I don't have to concerns about needing a cleanse. I felt fine before, immediately afterward and today. So it was definitely the food. read more

Don't buy the fried chicken wings I had to just throw them a. I buy food from here all the time but but today it was not good even the fried rice. read more

Best egg foo young, hands down. Seriously, they put something special in there. We usually order from here for delivery and they come very fast. We recommend the Fried shrimp appetizer, the combination fried rice, combination egg foo young and lo mien. They restaurant itself isnt much to look and has about two tables for people who would like to dine-in. The service is fast and efficient. The prices are a steal for good food, fast. read more

I read that the best Chinese restaurants have 3.5 stars because real Chinese food lovers don't care about ambience etc. So I looked for one in my area and found this one. This was not terrible just not inspired. If you like a lot of food, this is definitely your place as we were eating fried rice for 3 days. read more

Always tasty. The lunch specials are where it's at. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience. We've been going here for about 4 years--it is mainly a takeout place but there are some tables. We always call in and the people are always friendly. read more

Very disappointing! My family threw out the entire meal. The lo mein tasted like dirt. I will never cheat on my usual place again.

Good solid neighborhood Chinese food joint Could be better but it'll do Huge portions, decent price Friendly staff read more

Seven years after my first review this place keep cranking out great food. Even with COVID-19 they still deliver quickly and the food is always hot and fresh. I think the orange chicken is better then ever. Delivery guy followed protocol and had his mask as I did mine. My mom loved her shrimp egg foo Young. Still not crazy about the beef skewers. But overall great dinner and we have a lot more for tomorrow. read more

My family stumbled upon this place today when I asked my husband to stop at the dollar store next door. He and my daughter ordered egg rolls from here while I went in. When I get back to the car, they were enjoying! So we decided to go in and have lunch before we continued our errands. While my husband said the chicken wings weren't as good as our favorite Chinese place, the lunch special I had was wonderful. Mongolian beef with chicken fried rice and an egg roll, for $6. All of the lunch specials come with those and the menu is quite extensive. Our daughter had the combination lo mein and she loved it. The noodles were fresh and full of beef, pork, and very large shrimp! They don't have much in the way of a dining room but there are a few tables, and the lady was nice enough to bring our food out with plastic plates and utensils on a tray. We did notice that the phone rang constantly so they must do a lot of carry out and delivery. We enjoyed our impromptu lunch and said we would come here again whenever we're in the area. read more

After a sudden sweet and sour pork craving, I ventured out to find a Chinese place that could satisfy me. Unfortunately, a ton of places around Portage Park are closed Mondays... WHY? Chinese Kitchen was open so we gave it a shot despite the meh reviews. I can see why their food comes out so fast... Their popular items must be sitting in the back just ready to heat up and go. The orange chicken was super soggy and had a strange flavor to it. I thought the chicken fried rice was ok (very Americanized Chinese with a lot of soy sauce flavor) but my bf didn't enjoy it. The sweet and sour pork was the kind I didn't like... lot of breading and not much meat. The sauce comes on the side so that was kind of nice since you can't just reheat this. I'm a bit upset that nothing came with sauces. Nothing for my bf's egg roll and nothing for our crab rangoons. Maybe it's just me but I assumed that things that normally come with sauce would come with sauce... read more

I decided to pickup some Chinese food for a movie night and decided to try out Chinese Kitchen since I had to stop by the Dollar Tree next door. I was excited to see on the menu that they do not use MSG in the food. The food was ready in less than 10 minutes which was great. I was not very impressed with the food though. The crab rangoon was yummy, but they forgot to include any sweet and sour sauce which was disappointing. The Orange Beef was mediocre. I was disappointed in both the egg drop soup and hot and sour soup. They were pretty tasteless and I got a piece on an egg shell in my soup. I would go back if I need something quick an convinient but not somewhere I got for amazing taste or quality, read more

Stopped at See Thru Kitchen on the way to O'Hare and boy was it a delight! My fiancé and I live on the south side of Chicago and visit china town 2 times a week. We found the food delicious, the fried rice well balanced and NOT a greasy pile of rice, and the same goes for the egg roll. The vegetables in our dishes still had a crunch and were not soggy. Very impressed with this restaurant. The dishes we ordered were better than 75% of the actual china town restaurants we have been to and for better understand I am 35 years old, Filipino, and have been going to china town since I was 8 years old! read more

Aweful. So greasy. Turned my stomach. Threw most of it in the garbage. I will never order from this place again.

This place has really crunchy and delicious Crab Rangoon. The Egg Rolls are delicious as well. However, I wouldn't suggest the Pot Stickers. Not too much flavor. The portions are big. Between 2 of us an appetizer and entre sometimes leaves us with extra. It's my go-to Chinese place in Jeff Park. Don't forget to grab your sauces!!!! read more

I feel a certain amount of shame about going to and/or reviewing bad Chinese restaurants because I'm sure a Certain Someone might have something to say about it. SO hey...you...STOP READING THIS REVIEW. Seriously. Really. OK - fine - but don't say that it's probably to be expected that the food would be, well, bad. And that's what it was. Since the other place down the street was closed, we stopped here. The soup was good...heavy on the hot, light on the sour. The orange chicken wasn't orange-y at all. The Kung Pao shrimp was celery,onion, and peanuts. Good sauce - but no shrimp. The egg roll was soggy and the wrapper was too thick. I am shamed...I think I need real Chinese food when I get home to undo this damage. read more

Dear Chinese Kitchen, I miss you. Even though i've found a new place to call my chinese home, I miss the way you got my orange chicken to me so quickly, always spicy (sometimes very much so), and I miss the smile on the delivery driver's face as he realized he had already visited our happy home 3 other times that week - by Wednesday. And your fried thin cantonese noodles...alas, how will I go on without you?! Don't worry, even though you won't come to me any longer (I suspect due to the language barrier that prevents me from bribing you), I am still willing to drive to you on occasion. I heart you Chinese Kitchen. read more

Not the best Chinese I've ever had... Not the worst Chinese I've ever had. But, for sure the best Chinese in Jefferson Park. The egg rolls are pretty darn good, and so is the Mongolian Beef :) read more

Thankfully, there are SO MANY choices and options for Chinese food in Chicago. Don't spent your money here. We ordered a Mongolian Beef that came with literally 3 pieces of beef, NO JOKE! Ridiculous! We ordered Sweet n Sour Chicken and they didn't pack the Sweet n Sour sauce. We didn't notice till we got home. And on top of that, the kid that was behind the counter was rude to my wife. Thanks, but NO THANKS! I HIGHLY recommend Jade in Park Ridge on Devon by the 24 hour Walgreens. Better service, better food. We will never be ordering from this place again. read more

I have to disagree with all the other yelpers that gave it 1 or 2 stars. They make the best fried rice in town. I have never been disappointed with it. It's flavorful and the proportions are right! Every time my boyfriend and I go there, we order General Tso's Chicken and sometimes their beef with broccoli or pea pods. Their Shrimp Egg Foo Young is delicious too! Now... if I were to give it 1 less star, it's because there isn't enough seating. Food is prepared fast. They are very neat and clean, and they deliver in a timely manner. Thumbs up from me!!! read more

I just moved to this neighborhood, and I'd love to say I've found that "go to" restaurant...you know, the place you "go to" for a quick meal. Unfortunately, this ain't it! The Kung Pao shrimp was spicy...but there were only about four (4) shrimp in the entire dish...and it was obvious the shrimp had been cooked before it was added to the veggies/sauce. The Orange chicken had absolutely no orange flavor....NONE!? Lastly, I don't know that I have ever had a bad egg roll...even at the ghetto places, but this restuarant had the worst egg roll I have ever, ever tasted!? By pass Chinese Kitchen and gind something else... read more

I never give low reviews. But this place has the most bland Chinese food I've ever had. We ordered the Mongolian beef, crab Rangoon, and potstickers. The Mongolian beef had no flavor. The crab Rangoon, while in the shape I prefer (triangular not puckered), was weirdly dry. I actually think I would have enjoyed the potstickers, but they were undercooked. They'd probably be ok if I reheated them, but they were pink on the inside and I had to stop eating them. Won't return read more

Ordered the Dinner for Two special- $18 gets you 2 egg rolls, 2 entrees, and soup. The portions are HUGE, so this lasted us two meals, and I still ended up tossing the leftovers. Egg Rolls: we had the veggie; loved em Egg Drop Soup: yum Chicken & Pea Pods: huge pieces of chicken breats, fresh pea pods, light sauce, excellent Shrimp Fried Rice: I don't eat swimmy stuff, but hubs said it was good. I wasn't overwhelmed, but it was a solid meal. You can't beat the price on those portions, ther'es no MSG, and they deliver to my house. So, I'm pretty sure I'll be calling again. read more

Pretty good place to pick up some Chinese food. This place gets your order done FAST. I ordered from here on a Saturday night for pick up. I was told it would be about 10 minutes. When I got there 10 minutes later, our food was freshly made and already put into a bag that was there and waiting for us. My favorites are the sweet and sour chicken and the orange chicken. The sweet and sour chicken comes with what you'd expect, fried chicken, tons of rice, but the extra for me is the sweet and sour sauce where they don't skimp on the green pepper and pineapple. I alays order the orange chicken spicy, and it's the perfect amount of spice for me. That said, the portions are huge. There were tons of leftovers, and I'm sure it will make another 2 meals. The food is still always steaming hot when I get it home and open the bag. The eggrolls are a bit soggy and usually the wrapper is too thick. Oh, and don't forget to grab your own sauces! They don't put sauces in the bag for you. Instead, there's an area to the side of the main counter that has all the sauces you would need in individual packets. Take as many as you need. One final note, some other yelpers might have mentioned this (I didn't read all the reviews), but this restaurant is delivery or take out. There are a few tables to sit at while you wait for your order, but do not expect to dine in here. A quick, easy, cheap, and pretty tasty dinner. read more
