I never knew this place existed!!!! My husband before we got married lived on Wilson and we never heard of it. It's been trending among the online food influencers. It's definitely a hole in a wall. The restaurant (not including the kitchen) could use a deeeep cleaning!!!! However they have the best egg rolls that I have ever had in my 45 years of life! They're exceptional!!!!!!!!! The shrimp egg foo young...splendid! Nice large pieces of shrimp, seasoned to perfection! Now that's all I have tried. I saw someone order a coconut smoothie and it looked delicious. The younger Asian guy gave me warm and friendly customer service. It's busy in there. I would recommend placing your order over the phone and picking it up. I pulled right into a parking spot right in front.. Cash only!!!!! I will be back to try more deliciousness!!! read more

This place was overly hyped so I had to see if they served the best fried rice in the city and that was a complete lie! lol the rice was so dry and expensive. I'm not going to believe the hype anymore. read more

We heard nothing but goodness about this place on InstaGram. Since this is in our neck of the woods we decided to give it a try. The lines were mega long and the direction was confusing. I decided I'm not waiting let me ask so I'm in the right line. I asked two different workers, the rude lady at the podium in the middle of the floor and another worker behind the desk. Both directed me wrong. So I stood on the podium line and when I get to the host she pointed me to the desk. We got our food and the Egg foo Young was not seasoned and the rice had hard kernels in it. Between the food and customer service I won't be back read more

Food is the best in town and they are fast and cheap, egg foo young get spicy and the fried rice is the best.

This place was delicious & the owner was so nice! She served us with a smile which I appreciated.

Very reasonably priced. Mango smoothie was my favorite! Came out super fast and packaged well. Be prepared: cash only but they have an ATM inside. Very convenient as it's right off Wilson! read more

Stopped by for pickup and had such a great experience! I asked if they could make a certain dish without the sauce. At first they said no, but the owner stepped in and kindly offered to make it happen for us. That meant so much! The food was absolutely delicious, and the customer service went above and beyond. Super happy with everything -- we'll definitely be back! read more

Used to be great, they've dumbed down their menu now, very disappointed at the changes. I didn't WANT fried rice.

This unsanitary establishment needs to be closed permanently. Rude staff, food isnt fresh & unsanitary restaurant. I will not visit this establishment again. I will attach a picture. read more

Hing Wang serves some of the best Chinese food on the north side of Chicago. Egg rolls, fried rice, egg foo young, and chicken wings, are all of my favorites. It's cash only and the food is always fresh and hot when you get it. read more

Been coming here for over 30 years for their fried rice which I must say is outstanding and only reason I'm giving them 3 stars is that it can be little bit more cleaner and as long as I've been coming here I have never been offered anything on the house, not even a egg roll read more

Spicy combo rice is the best around. I travel from the NW suburbs to get this rice. Worked many years on the red line, always stopped here.

Food is delicious and plentiful. Customer service was great. I had an assignment near this location and couldn't stop eating here. This was my go to place for lunch. read more

The food is always the same. You can't go wrong with the shrimp fried rice get it spicy. It is amazing.

If you really want to talk about a hole-in-the-wall, this is it. It's a true gem. I wouldn't say it's the best fried rice I've ever had like some other reviewers said, but it's definitely up there. When you walk in, it's very unassuming and lowkey janky, but the staff really whip up some bomb food here! They absolutely packed up my fried rice combination to the brim of the to-go container so I really felt like I got my monies worth. The place had some seedy looking people sitting around and I'm not surprised given its location right next to the Wilson Red/Purple line station, but that didn't phase me. The food was excellent! Just a note, this place is *CASH ONLY* but they do have an ATM inside just in case! I'll be back! read more

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 read more

Good combo rice , the small was overstuffed and I ate for two servings! Going back to try the lunch special

I was on the hunt for best fried rice in the city and Yelp and Reddit led me here--they were NOT wrong. The fried flavor is delicious, this is the kind of fried rice I dream of. It's definitely a lowkey hole in the wall spot, but it is clean inside. I even saw the cashier cleaning the floors while I was waiting. I wouldn't stick around, but there were people eating at tables. The reviews saying the service is awful had me nervous, but honestly I didn't find anyone rude or unwelcoming. It's just a busy, no frills spot so be ready to order and give them the cash and you won't have any issues. I did find a few tiny egg shells in the big egg parts so that's my only downside. The spicy sauce is really spicy but it has good flavor so I like a tiny dip. Huge portions, right off the Wilson red line stop, delicious flavor, and short wait while it's made fresh. read more

The fried rice is to die for. One of the best fried rice in Chicago. I usually get the combination with bbq pork land make it spicy. Their shrimp or chicken Kow is great too. It's a take out place but you can also eat there. Service is quick. read more

This place has some of the best Chinese rice in the city. Honestly, it has fell off a little over the years but it's still better than most. Their lunch special is is a great deal. Prolly the best deal in the city. I always get the pepper steak lunch special with spicy fried rice but the other options are good as well. I gotta say this cause I gotta be real. They getting a 4 stars instead of 5 because I need them to handle my food a little more cleaner. I'm a germaphobe. Food comes quick read more

Big portions but the menu prices are never right and you will end up paying more than $13 for a "small" order of fried rice. They pack it full dont get me wrong but really....... Its rice..... $13 ? And its akways dripping oil so dont ask for "extra spicy" that just means more oil. Cash only. read more

Gross & not worth the price. Go to in-on Thai if you want good take out. That's all I have to say. read more

Best fried rice in the city... hands down... and the portions are overflowing. Ask for spicy if you're into that - it's not extreme but very flavorful. This is a hidden gem of Uptown. read more

Needs delivery it' would make so much money if it were to have delivery for the customers not everyone lives close by and this place has very delicious food read more

best rice in Chicago the only place I get my rice at it is spicy and they make you fill up

Going by the décor, I didn't have a lot of expectations when I walked in. But boy, was I in for a surprise. Hands down the best fried rice I have ever had, and I've had some really good ones in different countries. Don't let the outside fool you, the food here is absolutely amazing! read more

Hands down the best fried rice I have had anywhere! I ordered the combination fried rice and had them put the spicy sauce on the side just in case I didn't like it. It actually gave it just a little kick without too much heat or spice. Highly recommend. It was great without the sauce so either way you can't go wrong. This is not a place I would have ever thought to get food from and probably wouldn't go there at night. But if you can get past the not so great ambiance and order to go, I promise you won't regret it! Cash only. I also had the orange chicken and egg rolls both were good. I have enough food for 3 meals. I don't usually write reviews but I've had a hard time finding reasonable priced Chinese food in this city that is edible. I've finally found my go to!!! read more

Hing Wang Restaurant - Combination Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Love Hing Wang! My go to order is a small combination spicy rice and a mango smoothie with tapioca balls. It's delicious every. single. time! I call ahead and my food is almost always ready when I arrive (although I definitely don't mind waiting a few extra minutes because it's worth it!). The employees are very straight forward but they match energy. I've never had an issue because I'm polite and respect their service. read more

The spicy fried rice is literal CRACK COCAINE. I don't even be smacking but this rice got me SMACKIN' my lips it's so good boyyyy. Yeah service is sub par and the restaurant itself is not at all nice but we paying for our food ladies, so sit back, turn on some Netflix and top it off with some take out. Servings are ginormous. I got three larges and that shit was POUNDS I was out here struggling to hold the damn bag. Also, if the service sucks that just means you don't have to tip- everyone wins! (Forgot to take a pic because I inhaled the rice before it even cooled down) read more

YUM Right off of the Wilson stop is one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever been to! We had to take the food for carry out, as they are not allowing dining in. I ordered the food ahead of time, and everything was ordered to be spicy. I ordered the large chicken fried rice, a small combination (shrimp, chicken, and beef) fried rice, Mongolian chicken, two fried wing appetizers, and one tofu chicken. I wish I just ordered two large combination fried rice! It was very good! The only two issues I had with my order was that the Mongolian chicken was not what I had gotten at other places. Not that it was bad (I went back for seconds) but I thought Mongolian chicken was a darker curry? Oh well, we still ate it and it was good! Secondly, we ordered the tofu stirfry veggies, and we wanted it to have a similar flavor to the chicken curry, but what we ended up getting was stirfry veggies with tofu and pieces of chicken. I guess next time we'll just keep the veggies with the veggies and keep the protein on its own. Again, a small misunderstanding, but the dish was very good and was still eaten. Two major tips: 1) they do not use credit cards here! Please bring cash! They have an ATM in the back, but it is a very generic ATM machine, and will charge your bank! 2) for the fried wing appetizer, ask for extra sauce! Everything was eaten, leftovers were devoured, and we were all left wondering when we would return for more! Highly highly recommend! read more

Fried rice here is fire! Best in Chicago! Recommend spicy combination fried rice! You will thank me, it wont disappoint!

I was at HW last week... I was at the counter - giving my order and I saw a cook wipe his nose and face - then put that hand in the cooler of white rice - scoop up the rice and throw it into the wok... Absolutely disgusting.... The restaurant has numerous State Health code violations... now I know why.... The kitchen is filthy, and the cooks don't care.... I ordered white rice, and I asked the man if they could use a utensil to scoop out my white rice - I told him I saw the employee use his hand... he gave the excuse that the wok will kill any bacteria.... an absolute lie.... Will never go again... read more

To those claiming the service is bad or the owners are rude, I'd say I'm not expecting them to greet me with a hug and gab about American Idol when I'm there to pick up my order containing the BEST FRIED RICE in town! The food is GREAT, although I've only ever ordered the fried rice since it's the first thing I ordered and always want it because it's that good! Cash only. Quick service. Don't expect to be BFF's with the person taking 137 orders in the last 30min. Enjoy! read more

The best shrimp fried rice from a casual restaurant hands down. I've lived in Chicago for years & just now found this gem. Make sure to get it spicy because that is what makes it so great although it mild at best. Found this on the yelp app after all & this is why I'm a yelper today!!! read more
