Chinese Restaurants near Calumet City

“This is a Panda Express. I frequently start with this refrain, but bear in mind that when I look over a restaurant like this, I am comparing it to other examples of similar restaurants (Fast Food/Cheap oriental fusion) and not against higher end Mandarin restaurants in my area. If you are in a Panda Express and expect what you would get at a fine location like the Mandarin place down the road? I don't know what to tell you other than "It's a Panda Express, dude."

So, with this said? This is a better Panda Express than I usually run into. Their food is kept hot, regularly restocked, timed and checked for when it needs to be replaced. I had no issues with the quality of the food whatsoever, nor the prices (You come here, you know the prices. Corporate sets them.). The dining floor was clean and the staff were quick and attentive.

The guy at the counter was clearly new, but he's still learning. We've all started out and are like "Hey, dude, where's this on the register?" Just hang in there and you'll figure it out soon enough.

Only complaint: The flowers on the tables are goofy. But that's a personal taste thing.

Vegetarian options: There are clearly enough vegetarian dishes, but honestly the selection is a bit on the low side. Then again, if you're coming here, you probably already know that.“

“The best I have had in years... Down to the portion size.. The price & the taste... Been talking about this place for the last 2weeks.. Definitely coming back.. If I could give 10 stars I would✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ highly recommended“

“This is my most favorite restaurant. The food is ALWAYS delicious. The owners are ALWAYS pleasant and welcoming. The restaurant is ALWAYS clean, and that is a big plus. Their orders are very fulfilling. I've also never received a wrong order. They absolutely care about their patrons, and that means a great deal. I live in Chicago, and have a Chinese food restaurant in walking distance from my residence, but I come here, and I wouldn't dare go anywhere else“

“I'm a regular for about 20 years. No reason to go anywhere else for Chinese. 10/10“

“Excellent food! Great friendliness great conversation! I Highly recommend! Fast Service!“

“food is always great, and the staff are always friendly and happy. I'm not just saying that because I'm hanging out with the boss, he's friendly and always happy too!“

“I am so glad they were able to reopen. Due to the passing of the previous owner last year, they closed their doors. My husband and I had just discovered them and was so excited to find a Chinese restaurant we truly enjoy. The very next day January 1st 2024, they announced their closure ( we get Chinese New Years Eve and we got it from here). THANK YOU for reopening and serving the surrounding community....I'm from Indiana. We love your food!“

“The food here really taste like it’s made with love. The dirty rice and bourbon chicken were amazing. I highly recommend this place. Especially if you want something delicious and healthy.“

“so good! generous portions and everything arrived hot and delicious. we tried Sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, crab Rangoon, and egg rolls. I would order any of them again!“

“I was in the neighborhood, so I decided to try this place for their lunch special. It comes with shrimp fried rice, combination egg roll, and a few options for a main dish. I ordered the Mongolian beef. It was tasty, tender, and a bit spicy. The food was fresh and delicious. However, I do wish they had shrimp egg rolls as I’m not a fan of the combination egg rolls. Nonetheless, I enjoyed everything for just under $10. I will definitely go again when in this area.“

“Vegetarian options: They can make any entree per your request. We often order Singapore Noodles without any meat or eggs.

Dietary restrictions: They will make entrees to my request. For example I order chicken and broccoli steamed instead of with gravy and I have them make spicy ?“

“Best best pho ever. I get pho combo each time. Egg rolls are delicious and wings are delicious I always come here for a few years now. Pleasant servers. Cordial and accommodating.“

“They have very good Chinese food compared to some we have eaten at. We had broccoli chicken with chicken fried rice and egg drop soup. It was very goodFYI: If you like your food very spicy, they will honor your request. We like ours real spicy, so I ask for it to be 3 times Xtra spicy for the main course and even the fried rice, and they will do they for you. We've gone to many Chinese restaurants throughout Chicago, and we like them. We've gone neck because it's close to where we live.

Parking: It's next to Pizza Hut. The parking lot is small, but there is extra parking by the Pizza Hut.“

“Order for delivery at 4:30 and Tim? (name on receipt) you can tell he was a bit overwhelmed. Let him know he did an amazing job and we appreciate him. I was sketchy about ordering the egg foo young cause it can be a hit or miss but, it was really good today so much flavor. Thank you for that.

2/24/25: Service was great, food came in hot and fresh. We tried Yu shen beef, not spicy at all, lots of fresh vegetables, beef was extremely soft in a brown sweet and sour sauce. Also ordered Beef with green beans and it was just as good. Since I can’t write multiple reviews on Google, I’ll just update it from my original post. Thank you!“

“I took it home to eat, very hot, delicious & plentiful. Leftovers tomorrow!“

“The best shrimp fried rice I've ever had. Food is ALWAYS fresh!“

“Nice spot if you want some quick and good Chinese food I stopped here while I took a Break while doing a concreting coating estimate just ask for a little msg don’t be scared ask for hot oil ASK FOR THE THEIR SPECIALS great food great service great prices very friendly cashiers

Parking: Huge parking lot at a strip mall in the corner

Kid-friendliness: Kids can come out and wait with you but it’s a quick pick up“

“Will always be my number #1 chinese spot when I come home because every state I've been to does not have anything that gives me quality besides Indianapolis, so it's a hole in the wall and extremely outdated but still going strong.“

“I would’ve gave them 5 stars because the food is great and the service was great too. However, I ordered Shrimp fried rice and they add beef and chicken to it. I had to pick the chicken and beef out of my fried rice while eating it. Other than that everything was good. Best Chinese food I’ve had in a long while. Now I know to check my order before I leave the restaurant.“

“Great food, always make it here when traveling to Illinois“

“This site is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this restaurant. everytime I feel like having a superb supper, this restaurant comes straight to my mind. Great and varied food and a large menu.great team, and agreeable spirit. In addition to that, the charge is reasonable. I recommend this spot with no hesitation.“

“Great food“

“Always an excellent representation of Asian cuisine, they are fast and efficient. The food is delicious and always prepared fresh and by authentic hands. Never a disappointment in the 15+ years I’ve been visiting. This is diamond in the rough, if ever there has been one. I truly cannot say enough about this establishment. 10/10!“

“The food was tasty I should have asked for gravy on my shrimp fried rice. They give you a lot for the money, I will return. The staff could be a lot friendlier, not so robotic. When you come in they can say " hi, how are you" not just stand there looking at you waiting on you to say what you want. They can smile.“

“Would love to eat here if I could eat inside. Are ever going to open the sit down area?? I live to far for carry out.“

“The food was very fresh. Sometimes Asian food can taste as if the cooking oil is old. My food tasted very fresh. The portion was very healthy! The food was very tasty. It my new Chinese Restaurant of choice in my community!!

Vegetarian options: Vegetable Lo Mein, vegetable fried rice“

“chicken fried rice had no flavor, all i tasted was eggs and bean sprout. Their crab ragoons are okay but the sauce they give you with it is like jelly its super thick likes it syrup or something. They're very fast at serving you your food, but they lack flavor and are cutting corners with their store bought sauce. If i wanted to eat over priced ragoons i couldve made them myself. The workers are great but im not crazy over the food. Its edible that's about it

Parking: theres a good amount of parking spaces infront of the store“

“Nice small spot for Asian food, mostly for pick up : take out I imagine

I came here after an event for a lunch and luckily has a seat and table. They should clear up and allow sitting space for customers to sit and eat. My food came out fresh and the orange chicken was great. I will come back if in the area. Prices were very fair.“

“Placed an order for delivery where as I usually go pick up order. To my delight the food was hot, appetizing and delicious! Most importantly the container was stapled closed to keep product secure. Will definitely order delivery or pick again!“

“I gave this restaurant a 5 star because I ordered and they delivered pretty quickly and the food was soooo good and it was steaming I definitely recommend and I will be ordering again this was some delicious food! nice and hot! ? I ordered the Shrimp fried rice and orange “

“It's too much going on surrounding this place. I have been eating here since I was a kid. The food is so good. If only they could be in a better area like 83 or 87, they would get move business . But I don't care they got the best food “

“Food was wonderful and the lady behind the counter was super nice. I was over an hour late picking up my order because of unforeseen delays, and she made sure that everything was hot when I got there. They definitely prefer cash which is understandable seeing as credit cards charge them money. I'll be back. Food was incredible.“

“We live right down the street so this is spot is near and dear. I just got the lunch special general tso and lemon fish and they were excellent. The fish was so gooood. Egg roll and rice were spot on too. My husband took a picture of the Teamsters Local 710 sticker on their door. He is in 710 and a truck driver for UPS. Thank you for supporting us and we are happy to support you.“

“(Translated by Google) The food is very good, the only bad thing is that I can't order online and pay right there because no matter how hard I tried to do it, the payment method doesn't appear(Original)Muy buena su comida lo único malo esque no puedo hacer el pedido en línea y pagar ahí mismo porque por más que lo e tratado de hacer no aparece la forma de pago“

“kams is really a small place with a big reputation. i drive 50 mins every few days to get their combination lo mein noodles. panda express or other chinese restaurants cannot compare to them. It is always busy and the kitchen is clean. The food is great. I love the variety. The egg rolls are delicious and everything is fresh. I have never had a problem with the food or the staff. Their parking lot is not big but now they have their own reserved parking . It is in the heart of beautiful Chatham You will not be disappointed. Also they have the best chicken wings.“

“First of all, if you want Chinese take out for less than $10 for a combo plate, you probably are thinking pre covid prices. However if you want your stir fry on a budget, you can have it here. The combos during the lunch hour are around $8 before taxes without drink.

For that price, the food is pretty good. Portions are a little smaller than some places but still filling. Flavors are lighter, so if you want a kick, ask. The egg roll is a little soft inside but decent. Above, for a price below what you will pay at EVERY FAST FOOD PLACE NEARBY, you get good fare. ( sorry for the caps, but I read a few reviews and people are just too demanding these days.)

Staff is undermanned, so expect a wait. You pay in time, not so much in dollars. No dine in service, but this is common to all chinese take out locally at present (deal with it. Most of you whiners don't understand price point at restaurants.). The staff, however, is very friendly and accommodating and will work with you. You can't ask for more.

Seriously. It's chinese stir fry on a budget and it delivers on that promise. Worth considering for a lunch plate.

Vegetarian options: Mandarin stir fry. Vegetarian options are available.

Parking: Parking is ample for expected traffic.“
