Been going to Lo's since forever...and overall I'm pleased with their food, service and prices. I've tried pretty much everything on their menu, from Mongolian Beef, to Fried Rice, to their Singapore Noodles, etc. Overall they have a good selection of entrees. I've moved a little further from Lo's, but if I'm ever in the neighborhood and craving for Chinese, this is the place I will most likely order from. Overall, good food, good service, good prices. read more

The food is always good and fresh. Fast and friendly service. We have been coming here for years and we have never been disappointed. I always get the orange chicken and the Mongolian beef. I would definitely recommend. read more

I decided I wanted chinese food the other night. I went to Lo's because I see it on my way home. Pros: *generious portions *eggrolls tasted good Cons: *I could totally taste the MSG in it *although it says any item can be altered, they would not substitute a crab rangoon for an eggroll *they use peanut oil I probably will not be returning, the whole MSG thing turns me off and I feel disgusting after. read more

Had to edit my review because I had a couple recent fishy experiences with not being charged the correct amount and also found out there are new owners. Food still seems ok but watch what you are being charged to make sure it is correct and that they correctly hear your order because a couple of times they have "misheard" what I ordered and put an order in for more than what I wanted.. Best quality Chinese in the area. I've been eating here since I was little. Iove the salt n pepper smelt. Pretty much anything I've had here is good. Mongolian and orange are bomb as well as the sesame and sweet & sour. Love the chicken rice soup when I'm sick. read more

We use to settle for this place in our neighborhood because it was convenient but now we have discovered Guey Lon and realize we deserve better. But last night Guey was closed and we decided to give Lo's another shot. I like the little chicken wing appetizers because they have a nice crunchy batter. The dumplings are good, but nothing special. Egg rolls here are big, but really really bland. In the past I have tried several different entrees from pork to shrimp and nothing has ever impressed me enough to want to try it again. My husband always gets Mongolian beef so I decided we could just split an order. It was greasy and you had to admit it was not the best quality of meat. It's not the worst chinese, but I know there is something better out there. read more

This is my "go to" place for carryout Chinese. Fast, good and large portions. I have had other places that seem to serve you a lot when you're there, but the carryout portions seem smaller, here that's not the case. Good Chicken Kow, Mongolian Beef, Fried Rice and egg rolls. In addition to the standard fare, they shake it up with some of their own creative dishes and can make just about anything that you want by description. The older lady is an institution here and loves to take care of you. The dining room is not really a great place to sit and have your meal, hence my use of them primarily for carry out. There are about 5 tables, all of them that get the door wind sweep. Best I've found within a mile or so of Lincoln Square for carryout. read more

It was a rainy Tuesday evening, and I didn't feel like cooking after sitting in traffic behind a bunch of idiots. I recently moved to Irving Park from spending 4 years in Logan Square. And I'm in search of a favorite Chinese joint. So, I went to Lo's and grabbed a small orange chicken and some crab rangoon. The sauce was good, but the chicken was incredibly sickening. Dry, stringy, over fried. I should have known better than to try it when I opened the container and it smelled "toasty and burned." The crab rangoon were ok, so at least it wasn't all for naught. After this experience, I'm definitely still looking for my neighborhood go-to for some decent Chinese... read more

This has been our spot for over 20 years... Unfortunately, the quality of the food isn't as good anymore..there is a new lady taking the orders and she's always in a bad mood. For the past three orders she has gotten all my orders wrong. I think this is the last time I am ordering here because I tried giving them a chance but the food doesn't even have flavor anymore. Go spend your money elsewhere! They tried to charge me for four packets of sweet and sour sauce, they wanted me to pay $1.45?!!! I think they are stealing from the owners..they should look into that... The owners are the friendliest people on Earth- too bad they are letting their bad employees run the place! read more

Other peoples shit is some other person's Chinese Alinea. That should be their slogan. Grading this is more challenging than passing out grades to a special ed class.....let me explain. The food is okay, not bad really, but not great. Service is foreign friendly. Atmosphere is the wrong word. Price is fair...makes it a B on a modified scale. Overall it's okay read more

I've been coming here for years, I lived out of state for a few years and every time I come and visit I always come here to grab some food. It's always the hole in the wall spots that offer the best Chinese food. Never disappointed with the food they serve and the prices are reasonable. Now that I'm living back in town, time for me to continue hitting up this spot again. Love it. The lo mein and shrimp fried rice is outstanding. read more

Fried rice is good as are the egg rolls. I used to be a fan of whatever it was 15 years ago but the food isn't the same.

Always good. Fast. You can park in the lot. I agree, with other reviews about the Orange Beef - excellent! Cheap combo lunch specials too. Every neighborhood should have one of these. They do have a couple tables available but I think most of the business is take out. read more

Ordered delivery with some friends this evening. We received crab Rangoon with nothing inside of the rangoons, sweet n sour shrimp with the smallest pieces of shrimp inside of a large piece of fried breading, and when I called to speak with a manager about the issue the woman on the phone hung up on me. I will never eat here again. read more

Lo's China Kitchen - This is all that was inside of my "crab rangoons" - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

when reading the reviews here, please note the high ratings of people who grew up or spent a lot of time in the neighborhood. if you eat here with any regularity (i lived up the street for four years) you get familiar with the place and appreciate its quality. the fact that Lo's has been here at least since the 1990s in a city that changes all its storefronts monthly should tell you. since i moved to the suburbs, i have been mostly unsuccessful in finding its peer. this is not foodie Szechuan -- what it is is very well done Chinese takeout. Lo's is a simple, unimpressive storefront with very limited seating for 12 or so, suited to carryout and delivery. the kitchen is pretty fast. counter service, and if you go there more than once or twice you become a friend -- these are good people. it's safe to explore the menu -- in fact i would encourage it -- but i do agree that Mongolian beef, orange beef, and potstickers are all quite good. special requests no problem. ample portions. reasonable pricing. read more

I've been going here for years for Chinese takeout. They serve Americanized Chinese food, so don't expect anything more than that. But if you're craving Chinese fast food, this place is consistently good. I've pretty much tried everything on their menu, but my favorite is Mongolian Beef. I generally order beef dishes, so their beef & broccoli, beef & green beans, etc. are all good choices as well. This place is across the street from Horner Park and McFetridge Sports Center, which is convenient if you spent the day playing or skating and need a quick bite to go. read more

I love this place! The food got here in less than 20 minutes, was piping hot, and freaking delicious! And now that they have online ordering, we will be ordering from them regularly! read more

I have been coming here for 20+ years. The last few times I've gotten food, it is not even edible. The quality has gone down so much. It's sad. Today was my last try. I will no longer eat here. read more

Love the Chicken fried rice , the Orange chicken isn't all that great and the people from there are pretty rude but food is good

this is the third time they mess up my order. the girl at the counter dont understand english and is a complete bitch. always has a bad nasty attitude . rolling eyes when you ask her to repeat the order. and the food lost the consistency never ever coming back again. sorry despite i love the owners read more

I really should give them one star.... popped in to pick up four egg rolls on the way to help a friend move to her new crib. Order up, reasonably quick.... I open the bag, no napkins. Asked for some, got ONE in return. Asked for a few more, was given another SINGLE napkin. I asked for more and got one more. Whoopie! 3 napkins total to handle a reasonably greasy finger food! Yay!! I totally get them not handing out stacks at a time, especially if you're on your way home. But I had a reason to ask for them, as I'm sure my friend hadn't yet unpacked HER napkins. Of course, at the bottom of the bag were about 8 - 10 sweet and sour packets...... maybe I should have traded some for more napkins.... Oh, and the egg rolls weren't very good, either. read more

Food not too bad but not great either, egg rolls were extremely salty and chicken a bit too soft. Customer service kind of rude. Don't think that I will return. read more

ok, what the hell is wrong with the taste buds of Chicagoan's??? Holy shit this is the worst Chinese I've ever eaten - EVER. If you like this, you must have been locked up for a really long time. Egg roll looks and tastes like it was made a week ago and heated up. Dumplings are rubbery and disgusting. Black bean chicken was super thick, saucy, cheap. read more

Ready in ten minutes even if you make a special request. Love the fact that they don't overcook the vegetables - always hot and crunchy. Plumpest potstickers I have ever seen. They appear to have a hidden menu - dishes you have to already know about that aren't printed on the menu like the spicy eggplant in hot garlic sauce. This is a killer dish with lots of eggplant, bits of crispy pork, onions, bok choy, a few stray carrots, and whole dried hot peppers. Space is completely nondescript and not designed for lingering even though there are a few small tables and chairs. Better to take your food across the street and have a picnic in the park. Great unpretentious neighborhood option. read more

I have been going to Lo's for many years. Everything is good! Some of the best dishes are: Orange Chicken and Orange Beef Kung Pao BBQ Pork Egg Foo Young Won Ton Soup Fried Rice of course Chop Suey Not a big place, great for take out read more

Very good Chinese and what makes it a great place is the service is always welcoming. This is your general fast food Chinese menu, nothings going to pop out as unique. The place has plenty of space, great for parties. Solid choice can't go wrong with this place, they have a small fast food take out place around the corner but for some reason not that tasty, maybe it's in my head. Looking for a great Chinese place in the area? Been eyeballing this place but not sure you'll regret it? It's safe trust me! I've been going here for years. read more

Orange chicken and the chicken fried rice are so good that's what I get every time I go but the service has been kinda rude lately.

Nothing beats the portion size, speed of preparation, delivery, and how consistently good this joint is. Great chinese delivery! Must tries - fried pot stickers, singapore noodles, scallop fried rice, and the orange beef. read more

Great fast food Chinese place to carry out from(not great spot to eat in). I love the Kung Pao Chicken. Decent egg rolls. And nicely priced lunch specials. read more

I went there last night because I had a horrible Chinese craving. I ordered Crispy Duck, Sesame Beef, Egg Rolls and crab rangoon. The entrees were absolutely delish (I loved the Sesame beef so much I may go again tonight) but the egg rolls were gross ( I think they had cinnamon in them) the crab rangoons were just ok not special. Overall a good experience though. read more

The egg foo young is delicious. The rest of the menu is good. I'll make no effort to say anything nice about the service as they make no effort to be nice. read more

I would agree with previous poster that Lo's food is good, but nothing to rave about. However for chinese place that is close to home, they rock! General Tso Chicken is really good, however KungPao is not exactly to my taste. Still it is better then some other places. I found staff really nice, and somehow they know as even though we went there just few times. About wheelchair accesibility I see someone checked. Well, I have baby with stroller and it does take some maneuvering to get it, otherwise it is doable. read more

Lo's China Kitchen is a notch or two above the standard Chinese food takeout joint. The restaurant is clean and the food is well priced.

Ordered the lo mein, crab Rangoon, and the Kung pao chicken. Everything was flavorless and you can tell they use cheap ingredients. Portions are way way too big. Had to throw away a lot of it read more

Use to love this place back in the 90's when I could barely see over the counter but now I went after being Mongolian beef starved in new York for 3 years.... & eh don't think I'll be back againn. But I do love the owners. Sorry read more

The food is fine - they prepare it pretty quick, and it's absolutely better than the stuff that you'd get at Panda Express. Star deducted for the service-without-a-smile. read more

I have been coming here ever since I was little. Best chinese rice ever! I have tried many places but they never beat this one. There egg rolls are the bomb and their Mongolian beef is amazing! Get the lunch special- so much food I never get to finish it alone... read more

This place has one of the best mangolian beef dishes. They give a lot for what they charge for. Their combination fried rice is also cooked perfectly. Idk why people say they get overcharged. read more

Not great, not terrible. Probably won't go again anytime soon, but if you are nearby and looking for take out dinner after work...its "fine". read more

Haven't tried a lot of the menu, but what I get from here has always been good and and the portions are good. I order the general tso chicken or the pepper beef and it's always been good. Not a fancy place mostly pick up with a couple of tables. read more

Lo's easily had the cleanest, busiest kitchen I've ever seen at a Chinese take out spot anywhere. Solid Chinese takeout- I felt like I may have have spent an extra buck or two here vs. some of the other spots around but again, the kitchen really looked clean. I once purchased some pork fried rice (not at Lo's) where the woman behind the counter alternated between peeling shrimp, taking orders and working the register. So maybe the extra bucks were worth it. read more
