As a no-frills, take-out and delivery only restaurant, Golden Chef excels in their quality and quantity of food, and amazing prices. I ordered the orange chicken plate which came with shrimp fried rice (there were a few rice options). The portion was massive, and the food was delicious - making it a deadly combination of awesomeness. The kitchen crew looked like it was literally a mom-and-pop operation. Parking wasn't an issue. read more

Nothing golden about golden chef can't even get an order right . Not sure how someone confuses chicken for shrimp. Pretty burnt ran goons and flavorless vegetarian egg rolls even with umami nothing could have saved them. read more

Well proportion for the price. Always hits the spot. Better then the company across the way.

Yummy food that's fast and affordable. I order pick up all the time! Always reliable.

We have ordered from Golden Chef a few times now. They have always been fantastic! The portions are overly plentiful. The price is amazing great value. The quality of the ingredients is great. I can say they have the best Crab Rangoon hands down right here. The egg rolls are also fabulous. They have a great flavor and more of a shredded meat to them. A must try. Everyone has been super friendly when interacting. This is a place you need to start frequenting!! read more

Felt like getting some cheap Chinese takeout. We've ordered from them before and it was pretty good. We got takeout and ordered online. The order was ready as expected and didn't take too long. The pick up was easy enough. Though, a few slight issues with our order. My roommate order two veggie egg rolls and received none of them. Last time we ordered from them, she ordered two and only received 1 of the two. Maybe there's an egg roll conspiracy. The food: Orange Chicken dinner - (supposed to come with shrimp fried rice, egg roll) the orange chicken was good, I upgraded the fried rice to pork and it was also pretty good and the egg roll was good Shrimp fried rice - the shrimp was a bit weird tasting, but the rest of the fried rice was good Veggie Egg Rolls - we never got them in our bag Chicken Wings - these were definitely delicious, nice and crispy and didn't lose the crisp steaming in the bag TLDR: great for cheap Chinese...though they sometimes mess up our order in terms of veggie egg rolls (my friend is vegetarian...so essential they not contain pork) read more

Just tried ordering from this restaurant through Grubhub. After placing our order and waiting for 3 hours, no food and no answer from the restaurant. Deeply disappointed. I totally understand it is busy during the holidays but taking orders and then not contacting customers with delays or even if the restaurant is open is not acceptable. read more

I just got delivery via DoorDash. I ordered Salt & Pepper Shrimp and it is the best I've ever had. Crispy, seasoned well, and even came with steamed broccoli which was perfect to cut the taste of the jalapeños and onions. read more

Strictly go here for the cheap food. Their kids special is pretty clutch. It does its job when you want some quick and cheap. The gentleman is pretty friendly. Definitely recommend getting a cold soda with your order. Goes hand in hand. read more

I had ordered the lunch special orange chicken, fried rice and eggeroll. Well when the food finally was being sent to me, because they had lack of drivers, "not my problem." I was expecting my food to be nice and hot, but boy I was wrong. It was cold, and when I called to let them know about it. That acted as if it was a non issue. Definitely the first and last time I ever bother with this sad excuse of restaurant read more

Ordered: General Tso's Chicken: Dry tough chewey chicken bites in a unexciting watery sauce. Pot stickers: Usually you get a nice bit of fried crispy on the outside dough with a nice meatball inside, this was not a meatball, it was meat mush that fell apart and was gritty, the dough was much too thick and unfinished. White rice: Watery white rice, please tell me how this is messed up? read more

I've ordered from here quite a few time using Yelps online order feature. I love that you have the option to change the type of rice with your meal, unlike other restaurants in the area. I order the orange chicken dinner for both my boyfriend and I, mine with chicken fried rice, and his with beef fried rice. Even though it has peppers and is labeled as "hot and spicy" it really isn't. It's just right, considering he doesn't like spicy. I recommend 100% considering I'm super picky and will continue ordering! read more

Golden Chef Chinese Kitchen - Orange chicken dinner with chicken fried rice and an egg roll - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

When I moved back to the Midwest from the west coast I wanted that great Midwest Chinese food I grew up with but I just couldn't find out there and then when I moved here it even took a little while to find, but hot doggy this is the place! When they say golden they mean it! the appetizers are always perfectly golden brown every time you order m. I get the sesame chicken and the lo mein and the portions are exactly the amount you'd want. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Horrible. I called to place a large order. I asked if they delivered to my address and they said yes. The man who took my order even called the delivery driver. They called me back 15 minutes later and told me it was too far. All of this AFTER they charged my card. They claimed to have voided the transaction but I never recieved the credit and had to dispute it with the bank! read more

Not cooking tonight? No food in your fridge? Dying for damn good Chinese takeout?!? Call Golden Chef. Quickest delivery... Call them. Order the orange chicken, extra spicy! You'll eat it up. read more

If you are looking for bland food, this is your place! Wonton soup , eggrolls, and Mongolian combo, NO TASTE!!! I even used the soy and added white pepper ( which I usually never use) and still it sucked. The mongolian combo had hardly any sauce on it. I asked for some spicy mustard which they ignored. Never again! read more

This food so try and salty plus I order since 6 :51pm they said they bring me a other try I'm still waitting

Golden Chef has come to the rescue the couple times I was out late, hungry and knew there was an empty fridge waiting at home. Chinese American take-out restaurants are ubiquitous, and there isn't anything that makes this one special. If this says anything, I can't even remember what I ordered the first time. However, what I noticed about my last order is that they incorporate more variety of vegetables in the dishes, so if you like a balanced meal, this may even seem like a healthy option. I really didn't expect to find broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, zucchini, peapods, carrots, baby corn, etc. in my Beef Pan Fried Noodles. Beef was also good quality, not over tenderized or chewy. Compared to other places, the food has less sodium, and I think that made it a little bland. They don't skim on portions and a regular order can easily be split into 3-4 meals. read more

The food were always great, but some of the sodas/pop they give are expired. Normally, when you pop open a can of soda, you'll here the fizz of the pressure. Please make sure to check the expiration date. read more

In the empty stretch of nothingness where I work, delivery becomes a necessity sometimes. One can only eat so many chicken tacos before wanting to cut somebody. Enter Golden Chef. I've tried a couple of other chinese food establishments that delivered this way and I couldn't tell you any of the restaurant names since the menus were promptly disposed of. It's been bad. One dreary day, desperately craving chinese food, I found a menu for Golden Chef online and decided to give it a try. The menu is the typical fare found on pretty much every other chinese menu in Chicago and to my great happiness, orange chicken is one of the available lunch specials. The food arrived quickly, portions were enormous and most importantly, the food tasted good! Like I ate my lunch special for 3 days in a row good and I HATE leftovers. Cheap, quick and delicious - and they deliver to the craphole that is Hermosa. Yay! read more

This place has the best take out Chinese around. You will not find better quality and portions for the price,there's no question about it. My friends and I have ordered from this place countless times and I've never been disappointed. The last time I ordered from here I had a lunch special and the amount of food I walked away with knocked my socks off. It was something like $5 and I had enough food for the entire day...it is worth noting that I'm a big eater. They even include a drink and an eggroll w/ the lunch special, its just ridiculous. Try it! ; ) read more

We are from out of town and decided to order delivery just because we didn't want to deal with finding a parking place somewhere up town. And WOW! Amazing food!! We ordered veggie egg rolls, chicken lo mein, orange chicken, and pot stickers. AMAZING!! It got to us so fast and the food was just outstanding. We ate dinner out every night on our Chicago trip and I'm pretty sure this was our favorite. read more

Golden Chef Chinese Kitchen - a table full of food - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Golden Chef hooks it up! I agree with a previous poster who said this place has the best takeout Chinese food around, like north of downtown. I felt like a five-year search for the answer to my cravings for Chinese food ended when the Golden Chef Delivery Guy showed up at my door. I have since ordered from the Golden Chef 3 times, and each time the food has been tasty, consistent, fast, cheap, and generously portioned. I have since picked up takeout for dinner, and the place is a little sketchy, especially at night. It's not the kind of place I would go to dine-in, probably ever, but I will still call upon Golden Chef with regularity for his tender cuts of tasty stir-fried meat and vegetables. I highly recommend Mongolian Chicken or Beef, if you are in to that sort of thing. read more

For counter take out, I really like this place. I am not to fond of "unfancy" chinese, but there aren't too many options in west humboldt. This place uses all fresh stuff, and is very consistent. My fave dishes are the Mooshu, and the Mongolian Chx., My husband likes the Kung Pao. worth the stop and better than Tasty China and China STation and mon lung. read more

sesame chicken was pretty good. crab rangoon was mediocre for sure, and they didn't provide sweet and sour sauce for it. delivery was pretty quick. read more

I give this a Meh, not because the food is necessarily bad, but just because there is really nothing that makes it stand out to me. This place, along with Tasty China across the street are virtually identical cookie-cutter Chinese fast food joints. From the menu and pricing all the way to the actual food itself. If you live in the hood, this stuff is totally decent, just don't expect to get the equivalent of your favorite Chinese restaurant. TIP: While it may appear that Golden Chef and Tasty China are your only two Chinese options in Humboldt Park, you can actually order from Lee's Chop Suey which has REALLY solid fast food Chinese. Or if you're a real baller you could have some Papajin or Friendship delivered. read more

WOW! Super fast delivery and hot really like this place will definitely order from here again.

In my quest to find the best Chinese food in Logan Square this was a second place contender. I ordered the usual fried rice, orange chicken, pot stickers along with hot and sour soup and an egg roll. Orange chicken was alright, not the greatest I've had, but still better than 90% of the garbage in Logan Square. Pot stickers were the same usual bland ,wet junk people in Logan Square have come to expect. Egg roll was surprisingly bad as well (don't know how you can screw that up). Fried rice was pretty decent. You can tell it was made the usual lackluster way of soaking it completely in soy sauce until it almost turned completely black, but it wasn't terrible. This was my first time trying hot and sour soup. It had a peculiar taste, but wasn't as bad a miso soup (which tastes like straight p**s around here no matter where you get it from). I'd still have to give this place a pass though. Food quality was just between poor and decent. Non-consistent food=non-consistent customer. read more

I have ordered from this place for a few years now. I have ordered the Kung pao chicken & orange chicken dinner special. For the cheap price they give a huge portion! Fast delivery and friendly. The food is good and always hot when delivered. The crab rangoons and pot stickers are delish! Give them a try! read more

Will definitely go back i love their food! read more

First of all this joint aint in Lincoln Park. I don't even go to Lincoln Park. This is the take out Logan Square's version of Lao Sze Chuan. Good Cheap Chinese take out only exists in New York, but this is the closest you're gonna get for take out. For a neighborhood joint, I give it four bowls of rice! and they got the Buddhist shrine in the corner. Tres New York, son! Hopefully they will open up a nice restaurant in Logan Square, because if their cheap food is this good, imagine what they could do with a real restaurant! read more

Good for what it is, not fine dining but in my opinion the best in the area. The food is nothing to whine about, decently priced and comes in good portions (by that i mean large portions) and its is pretty tasty. I don't always crave Chinese food since i can always get it in Chinatown but when i spend the week over at my girlfriends i'll typically order from here. Favorite dishes are the shrimp with walnut, the salt and pepper shrimp, and the BBQ spare ribs! should definitely try it. Only gripe i have about this place is that theirs a lack of selection when it comes to soda beverages, the fries aren't the tastiest, other than that the food is pretty solid and won't disappoint . The lady is always friendly and greets us. Give it a try, not a fancy looking place but the foods nothing to complain about. read more

Not my favorite Chinese delivery. The egg rolls are on the small side and not filled very much. The rest of the food was just ok. I wanted to try a different place than my go to but I'm going to say I'll be going back to my go to place. read more

2.5 stars. All the classic Americanized Chinese dishes. The mushroom fried rice was my favorite - it was quite good. The Hunan beef was fine, but despite ordering it "very spicy", I couldn't detect any heat. The moo goo gai pan worked for my boyfriend but I thought it had a strange aftertaste. Food was prepared quickly. Overall, about what you'd expect - an average meal if all you really want is some cheap Chinese to go. read more

Just ordered the orange chicken lunch special and I really wish I could get my money back. It was so awful! The flavor was not tasty at all. Once I bit into a piece of chicken that was not chewable, I was completely done with it. I called them all they said was if I could come in. Obviously I couldn't since I had it delivered through DoorDash. So after that, I was basically told there was nothing they could do. Therefore I went right away to Yelp! read more

My roommates and I eat here a lot. They know when we decide to order there. This place cooks everything to order. Plus it is around the corner. If you are looking for a Chinese food joint to take home and relax to watch a movie this is your place. read more
