    Tofu With Vegetable
    Steve A.

    Bare looking place in the middle of downtown Glenview. It sure doesn't look like much, and the food is just as plain. Kim's Chop Suey is a carryout only place, as it's way too small to eat there. After looking around it you wouldn't want to do that anyway. The place has the charm of a funeral parlor, so take it to go if you actually place an order. A pretty boring looking place with only a couple tables and a few chairs. It's currently only doing carryout, so all orders are to go. They're pretty fast here though. Maybe too fast. The food we got didn't look done enough, and it looked like shit. Has no flavor. We got the Tofu With Vegetable lunch special. It's about $7 so it's cheap. The best thing about it. Plain and boring. This didn't even look like there was a sauce. It was like plain tofu almost. Took a few bites and threw it out. Fucking gross. The vegetarian choices are limited. Has some pretty gross looking food. It has some that don't have any seasoning and you need that for tofu. The choices suck for vegetarians.

    Shrimp fried rice!
    Tikku G.

    I swung by before bubble tea for a quick meal. For ~$7, I got a HUGE carton of delicious shrimp fried rice. It was steaming hot and flavorful and absolutely hit the spot. You can tell there is a lot of love in the food as it is owned by a sweet older couple. Definitely would recommend having this place for take-out!

    The food is not good. Fried rice is awful. We ordered moo shu chicken and shrimp among many other items. They sent flour tortillas you would get from a Mexican restaurant. These are not what you should get with moo shu. It's a little insulting and clearly not as described in the menu. I called and they unapologetically admitted that's what they serve. We will not order from here again... expensive lesson learned.

    Honey chicken - slightly crispy
    Sarah S.

    I am completely biased but Kim's is THE BEST Chinese food in the Chicagoland area. I grew up in Glenview and this was the spot to go for the deep fried Chinese goodness. If it was my birthday as a kid and I had my choice, Kim's would be on the menu. For a business to stand that long a test of time, well it's really saying something. But even more amazing is that my aunts & uncles all grew up going to Kim's, too. Kim's has been at 1816 Glenview Road since 1966. Yes, that's right - nearly 50 years. When in the world is there ever a Chinese spot that's been open 50 years!? Apparently the original owners daughter went to school with my Aunts/Uncles so this is some legit Glenview history. The current owners have been at it for about 15 years and are super nice, but more importantly make delicious food at great prices. Kim's makes the dish I would want as my last meal - Honey Chicken. It's a beastly dish slathered in a thick honey sauce that contains gobs of mayo & I'm sure every unhealthy ingredient you could think of. But man, is it good! Honey Chicken from Kim's is my favorite meal of all time. The sesame chicken is so different and delicious, as well. It's smaller chicken, all perfectly cooked, all perfectly crisped in their signature sauce that has just the right sweetness. Then their eggrolls, absolute best I've ever had! The ingredients are on point, always perfectly rolled & deep fried, fabulous flavor! I have never had a bad dish from Kim's....ever! Other popular dishes are the mongolian beef, egg foo young, sweet & sour chicken, awesome lunch specials. They've rolled with the times and you can now call in for delivery/pickup or do your ordering on GrubHub. It's not exactly a dine in place though there are two tables. They are more waiting for your order than actually sitting & dining. When it comes to my Chinese food, I'm forever devoted to Kim's. They have the best everything and thinking about it just makes my mouth water~~~~Nomnomnomz.

    Vegetable Lo Mien(top left); general tso's chicken; shrimp fried rice(bottom left); egg drop soup
    Joy C.

    I have a confession...I have never had Chinese delivery, ever. I rarely order Chinese take out as well, I could probably count the number of times I've picked up food with just one hand. Today is epic for me, I felt like a rebel... I called Kim's Chop Suey and ordered food for delivery! Woohoo! I know... pathetic. Enough about that, here is a breakdown of what I've tried from Kim's: GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN- $9.95 breaded wonderfully although the sauce wasn't hot and spicy enough for my taste. VEGETABLE LO MIEN - $ 6.95 Very good because it's not soaking in soy sauce and oil. There was a lot of vegetables mixed in and it had the right taste of saltiness and the noodles were cooked perfectly. EGG DROP SOUP -large $ 3.75 Thick consistency and it was a bit too salty for my taste SHRIMP FRIED RICE -$5.55 Delicious and they weren't cheap on putting enough shrimp. Just like the lo mien, this dish wasn't salty nor oily. Overall, I was happy with my choice of hibernating at home today. It was worth paying the delivery charge of $2.50 intead of braving the negative wind chills outside. The food came after 30 minutes even if the owner said it will take about 40. We have a lot of left overs because the containers were filled to the brim. Clap clap clap!

    If you have shellfish allergies be careful and do not order the spring rolls, instead order the vegetables rolls.

Plenty of parking Cons Only one small complaint. And it is the same in every Chinese restaurant I've ever eaten in. The beef is always too mushy/tenderized.

It was exactly what I needed. He and I chatted a bit and he found out I'm staying at a hotel this week and loaded my bag with more tea, a can of soda and some suckers. Sure made me feel better. Not only was Daniel amazing, so was the food. This is now a got-to place every time I come to Wheeling. Thank you Daniel, your kindness and delicious food, turned my whole day around.
