Tsing Tao Mandarin Chinese - Wilmette

I walked past hundreds of times in this restaurant and walked by work every day on my way home, but had never tried this charming old Chinese restaurant of the school. It all changed on Christmas night when we dictated as a family. This is not a new place and the food is not on the edge, but everything is what you expect and, really, delicious. The foods called spicy had a nice bite to them and that lo my was so traditional (to my taste buds) as comfort food. Recommended. We're going back.

Excellent Chinese. A particularly impressive and affordable lunch menu. This place has been taking care of me and the family for years. Go here for lunch or dinner and you won't regret it.

Everything here is delicious! And people are wonderful. This is a beautiful family restaurant that we are happy to have in Wilmette. It was my favorite place to take the family before the pandemic and now it is my favorite place for taking over.

Fantastic food and the best staff I've met for a long time.

This is a casual neighborhood restaurant where the owners chat and are quite jovial with regulars. In general, the food was delicious and above average, with a few exceptions. The pot stickers, hot and sour soup, and shrimp toast were all good. None of us could detect even the slightest crab taste in the Rangoon, which I guess isn't surprising since it was imitation crab in cream cheese. The egg roll was nothing to write home about. As for the main dishes the Sizzling Rice Shrimp featured enormous shrimp, as did the Tsing Tao Combo fried rice. The sauce in the first dish was a bit too garlicky, although it was quite tasty. The standouts were the Orange Chicken and Twin Mushroom Beef. It was a little surprising that the Orange Chicken didn't include broccoli, but it was so crispy and delectable, we didn't really care. The beef was tender and excellent, although once again, a bit too heavy on the garlic. The parking lot was woefully inadequate for a Saturday night and there weren't any close street spots. My brother in law reported that the downstairs bathroom was dirty and gross, and what if an elderly person needed to use the facility impossible! The service was slow, but they seemed understaffed. Last ... the fortune cookies were inedible cardboard, but they give you almond cookies, as well. Despite these minor complaints, it was a pleasant experience and we have plenty of leftovers.
