I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, so my bar is pretty high for Chinese cuisine (think Chef Chu....if you're not familiar with this talented family, his son directed the Wicked films). Mee Jun does not disappoint if you're looking for authentic Cantonese or American style chop suey dishes. Anyone who complains about lack of flavor is used to too much salt and artificial ingredients. Mee Jun is super fresh, and the service is quick. I asked about Singapore noodles which is not on the menu, and the man smiled and said to call next time and he would make it for me :) read more

Our go to Chinese. Square meal, square deal. Good portions. Friendly and timely service.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend the food. Not very flavorful though the portions were large. I ordered delivery and the service was fast, so that was a plus. read more

Best hot and sour soup. Egg foo young is amazing. Bern ordering here fur years. Never disappoints.

We gotta be careful on this one... They say the review that I should discuss ambience, service, and food... There is no ambience. Like none. The service is adequate, you call, you hope they pick up, and then from behind the counter, you hope they've got your food in the bag. The food I've had from them is delicious. Like really really good Americanized Chinese food. I have had lots of different items on their menu and very few of them have been anything but perfect. That said I would avoid the shrimp and lobster sauce.... I would absolutely recommend their wonton soup. Along with Mushu chicken. Their Mushu simply rocks. Enjoy! (and any of their fried chicken dishes are delicious.) read more

Basic Chinese - nothing special. Reminds me of the old "chop suey" places I went to as a kid. Large portions.

This place definitely has the best food around. They are always one of my go-to places whenever I'm feeling Chinese takeout and want it fast! read more

As always lunch was excellent. Chicken Kow was perfect. Sizeable portion. Great selection of healthy, and fresh vegetables. And for meat lovers. Chicken excellent and also no skimping. Hot and oh so good. Nothing buried in globs of gravey. Just excellent great portion lunch. People working there are very friendly . You feel welcome. I almost always order #10 on the lunch menu. Healthy selection of vegetables and fantastic chicken. For the record. They have not opened up their seating area. Which is fine. Lunch special menu available 11 till 2 30. And yes we do order carry out for the family. Very happy with quality of the meals. read more

After multiple days out of town we had a taste for good Chinese food, unfortunately we had to settle for crap. Egg rolls very good, pork fried rice below average, egg poop young NG, Shrimp with vegetables Ok, Mongrelian beef was so bad we threw it out. I should have looked at the recent reviews about the food going down hill, I just didn't know far. read more

The place and food are disgusting from the moment you walk in. I got some Cantonese chow mein, and it looks like no other food I've eaten on earth. I wouldn't even give it to a raccoon in an alley for fear what might happen. Second time ordering here, and second time opening a box to food that doesn't look edible. They also wouldn't let me return it for a refund. lol they don't even want their own garbage back. It's no surprise they don't really have pictures on the menu. No one would be ordering from here if they knew what it looked like before. Too bad there isn't another Chinese place around. This dive would be easy to topple. Will NOT ever be going back here though. read more

If you want good Chinese food, DONT GO HERE!! When you walk in you immediately notice how dirty it is and there is no seating for dining in. I knew this was going to be bad but I was hungry so I just ordered pork fried rice. I thought easy enough, it was horrible. About a third of the rice was way under cooked and the pork was dry, had no flavor and seemed like it was a week old. I asked for extra mustard packs and the cashier did not want to give them to me. Definitely never coming back!!!! read more

Ambience5/5 take out and you won't question it. Food5/5 every time. Service5/5 they let you know when it's going to be ready. So be patient. Don't rush because you have 10-15 minutes for this. read more

I ordered from this place and unfortunately it was just plain nasty as hell. The egg roll was soggy and flavorless. Potstickers were huge and gummy, the combo chow mein had overcooked grey vegetables and had 2 shrimps and the rest had super tenderized beef that was not fresh and absolutely no chicken. I absolutely positively will never ever order from here ever ever again if my life counted on eating anything to live. Ok that was a bit dramatic sorry. read more

Authentic. Clean. Delicious. Our long quest for high quality Chinese in the area is complete.

The Chinese food is awesome they have been in business since the 80's maybe longer.Mongolian beef,egg rolls & the fried rice are yummy. Just good Chinese food. The staff are kind of rude so if you can get by that you will enjoy. read more

Mee Jun Chop Suey has the absolute best spicy chicken fried rice! I highly recommend if you are looking for a tasty meal!

Amazing food. Prices are good too. It could be tidier on the inside but overall it's good food. As of march 2023 there is still no dine in available since the pandemic but that does help the time for food to get to you be shorter. 100% recommend. read more

Went there since 1987. Used to have decent Chinese food which we have once a week. It has gone downhill; the food across the menu is not good, yet more expensive. Also, the cashier is rude. Although it is farther we have been going to Hong Kong Chop Suey on Rte 45 in Mundelein. Food is far superior, lower in price, and the staff is great. The only negative is that they have temporarily stopped dinning in. It is carry out. read more

This is the only place that will make a combination almond ding for me. It's delicious too!! The portions are huge so be prepared to eat for days or share with many! I love the shrimp fried rice extra spicy also, it's a meal in itself! Their noodle dishes are delicious and if you're feeling a cold coming on, I swear by their chicken soup with chili sauce added. The prices are really fair also. Check it out. read more

You get a lot of okay Chinese food for a reasonable price. They don't have a website, an online menu, and they don't deliver. In this way they are basically unplugged from the world, and the choices here reflect that. There are your standard orange chicken and sweet/sour mix that you expect. Nothing really stands out. I ordered a large orange chicken, made spicy. Didn't really make any difference. It was basically 3lb of fried chicken nuggets soaked in an orange sauce. It was a HUGE amount of food. More than 2 meals worth, for $13, it just wasn't very good. The interior of the restaurant really needs help. If feels like a community pool, with a gross chlorine sterilization-feel throughout. The staff isn't really helpful. They charge $0.25 for a hot sauce... Weird. TL:DR; Get a lot of mediocre chicken for less than $20. Not the best option. read more

Mee Jun Chop Suey - Busy Friday dinner crowd! - Chinese Near Me - Highwood, Illinois

An easy option to cooking or waiting around. It's not exactly a "fine dining experience" but the food is authentic and the portions feel right for the price. I particularly like the fact that I can purchase whole bottles of the sauces they use to take home, because the little packets are never enough one at a time. The people there are always courteous and willing to customize my orders. Because of this I backed a carryout regular. read more

Great little restaurant, only has carryout, ordered carryout took 15 mins , was very good ,tasted great , good portions for a great price ,highly recommend, try #17 lunch special, beef w/broccoli, always go back when in area read more

I found out about this place from a friend. It's actually been my go-to place for fried rice and sweet and sour chicken. In love with their combination fried rice. I always make sure they make it spicy which also makes it taste even better. Sweet and sour chicken are always cooked fresh. Always steaming out of the bag. read more

Had my regular lunch special Chicken Kow. Excellent. Lots of chicken and vegetables. Today almost zero corn starch or oil from cooking. So perfect. Healthy lunch. Busy. Many regulars order entrees ,only carry out containers.They have plates and a big spoon for sharing. Family style. read more

Really a great little place with great prices and about the best eggrolls I've ever had!

I absolutely love this place! I come all the way from Waukegan to get my fried Rice... food is delicious and I have absolutely no complaints for their customer service. Very highly recommended! read more

You get a lot of food for the money. Not very fancy looking inside the restaurant and I usually get my orders to go. My personal favorites are the egg foo young and pork fried rice. Also, recommend the crab rangoon appetizer as well as the won ton soup. They also have a chef suggestion and my favorite of that is the four seasons, great variety of flavor. read more

I'm between a 4 and 5 the lunch specials are a very good deal you get a lot of food for very little. I had the beef and broccoli and it was amazing! The egg roles are also very good. Fried rice is also delicious! This is definitely a great place to get a quick lunch. read more

Been coming here for 40+ years. I've been to many cities in China many times. Love the reviewers who say this isn't Cinese food for many Chinese restuarants in USA. Just prove they really know nothing about China. It's a takeout restaurant with large quantities, lowest prices, absolutely dependable quality and no one is better north suburbs for basic Chinese counting variety, fresh vegetables, selection, quantity, etc. Try egg foo young, golden corn??, chow mein made with bean sprouts, etc. If you want great Chinese, go to Ming Hin downtown or Chinatown. Chinatown seats almost 1000 people. In suburbs, no great Chinese. Just basic and this is very good. read more

I never trust reviews of suburban restaurants, mostly because these north shore suburbanites seem to have no idea what good food is. Dynasty Chinese is the number one rated Chinese place around here, followed by PF Changs. Need I say more? I rest my case. Note, this rating is based strictly on the food, the restaurant itself is kinda dingy, takeout recommended. Dynasty? Yuck. Little Szechwan? Not bad, but pricy. Everything in Highland park? Decent but costly. After trying over seven restaurants in the area, this is the clear winner. The portions are massive. The "small" size is more than enough for 2 people for any item. Now, the size isn't all that they do well. The food here is home made, and fresh. Never frozen. Egg rolls rolled there, crab rangoons prepped there, and everything else, from the veggies to the meat is fresh to death. The potstickers are just as good as the ones I ate on my travels throughout China. Oh and they are huge as well, not your average dinky dumpling. (They take minimum 20 minutes, so call ahead for these) Oh yeah, and for 25 cents, they will upgrade all of your rice to fried rice, and their rice is amazing. So for $20, you can get 2 small entrees, order egg rolls and fried rice, with enough left over for 2 more meals! I usually don't write reviews these days. But when I saw this place getting no love I had to step in and set the record straight. BEST. CHINESE. EVAR. (in the burbs). read more

It's an ok place. I ordered shrimp fried rice and kung pao chicken. The shrimp rice was meh the actual shrimp tasted like a freezer. The king pao chicken was okay too. The egg rolls were filled with like some meat that looked like pork. I wasn't too impressed with anything. Probably won't order from them again. read more

Great and abundant Chinese fare! This place is always busy because it's got great prices and good food. I like that they're very generous with the sauces and the egg rolls are amazing! This place is not a life changing experience! it is convenient fast and a good deal. Definitely worth checking out... read more

Really like this place. I think they have my favorite fried rice in the Chicagoland area. It's a tad on the greasy side, so go in expecting that. This is not authentic Chinese food, but it is good American Chinese food. Besides their fried rice, another notable thing I like is the beef skewers. Fried peanuts are also very tasty. It is counter service, so order, take a seat, and they'll bring it out. Staff is very friendly and the space is always clean. Easy to park there also. I always drop by here when I'm in the area. read more

The best in the area. No joke, I've tried them all!! Great fried rice and egg foo young! read more

Mee Jun Chop Suey - Egg roll - Chinese Near Me - Highwood, Illinois

See all

Talk about HUGE portions. If you cant feed 2 people for $20 and more than likely have leftovers, then something just ain't right. By far the biggest pot stickers i have ever seen. As far as taste, i cant say they are the best i have ever had but they are far from the worst. I guess i would call it mediocre but definitely would visit them again if i was short on cash and had a massive craving for Chinese food. This is only based on the food i have tried there, which is the beef lo mien, sweet/sour pork, and pot stickers. The lo mien wasn't exactly what i was expecting but good none the less. read more

This Chinese restaurant has been in Highwood for many years. The quality of the food remains the same, but their service has been going down the drain. Awful service!!! Their fried rice is good. It is well cooked with many interesting combination of ingredients but a bit greasy. The egg roles and crab Rangoons are good. Not the frozen kind. They are big and always hot and tasty. Definitely something to try. The service of this establishment is really bad. The cook, owner or whoever manages the restaurant is extremely frugal. I have order countless of times for three people and they only give me one tiny container of hot sauce, and a couple of packages of soy sauce. One hot sauce is not enough for two containers of rice, which by the way last for days, egg roles and crag Rangoon. In the past they used to give you more. Now they are just cheap and rude when you ask for more, not to mentioned the fact that you have to pay $1.25 for more sauce. Once I called for take out and they got my order wrong. I called to let the restaurant know, and they were just plain rude saying it was my fault. No customer service at all! Last time I order from that place! read more

This is by far one my favorite place to have combination fried rice! It's delicious! I've tried fried rice in many different places but no one has topped Mee Juns. If you're in town, it's a must try! Feeling spontaneous? Try it spicy! Yummm! read more

My favorite...AND. Love the egg rolls with beef fried rice! They are very nice and I think reasonably priced.

The food is pretty good, not the greatest in the world but it suffices, but you get so much food for such a low price, it's unmatched in that aspect. read more

Hmmmm, seems sketchy but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was pretty good (orange chicken, shrimp friend rice, homemade pot stickers, mongolian beef) and the value was outstanding. For $30, we had leftovers for 3 days. KEY: My KIDS even enjoyed all of it! read more
