Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I love this place. The food is really good and the specials are nicely priced they fill up the food not like some places that give you very small amount. Here they put a good portion and the cashiers are very nice. For takeout Chinese food this is my favorite place to go. : )

Horrible! Kept telling them "No MSG. I'm allergic." The food was loaded with it. Had to go to the hospital. I asked for "black bean garlic sauce" and a large order. What they gave me was some brown sauce - NO black beans or garlic & three quarters of a large container. The food was bad - tasteless. They did NOT follow instructions. Total waste of food and money. Spend your money at a good restaurant - not at this dump.

Fantastic. We walked in, placed an order, sat down. After a while the food was ready. Place was steady busy. Took it home, was delicious. They even added extra egg rolls due to the wait, and honestly the wait wasn't bad at all.

I love Sum's for their large portions and low prices, but their delivery service is crap. Our office ordered three dinner specials at 3:30pm, and we received it at about 5:20pm. We expect our orders to take about 30 to 45 minutes for cooking and delivery, but anything over an hour is bad news (especially because I make the commute from Sum's in 10 minutes). We may be the last on the list of deliveries, but dang, they can do better. We'll stick to local pickup, and pay the intern the $15 tip to make the round trip. Outside of delivery, their food is great. It is very typical Chinese takeout with big portions and low prices. Check them out.

No big on Chinese fm food but this small place has prb some of the best. 8 yrs ago this place had the best fried rice ever, since then I heard they got a new chef and the food hasn't been the same. But I heard the chef returned and the quality n consistency of the food is back again! This place actually makes their food "spicy" when u ask and its not white people friendly "spicy" it's legit! Prices are great and portions are pretty large. My Chinese food go to.

I had lunch here and ordered the chicken egg foo young which came with 2 patties in gravy along with a heaping serving of chicken fried rice and an egg roll and can of pop for just $5.75. The egg foo young was really good along with the gravy which had a decent flavor and not overly greasy. The eggroll was actually the standout and not the requisite eggroll that sat for hours under a heat lamp. It too was flavorful, crisp, and had a moist and delicious filling of cabbage and meat. The chicken fried rice was ok but certainly above par with other take out joints. Service was friendly and prompt. To "Sum" it up: I'd definitely order from here again!

Very simple restaurant, not alot of seating, and no public restroom, but good food. The food is consistent and inexpensive. I just moved to Skokie and this is my new restaurant.

I've been to this place a few times. The food was average at best then it only got worse. I order the same thing every time the Mongolian beef with the egg rolls. The egg rolls are ok. Today, I told the lady to give me less rice because usually its 70% rice 30% meat and i just didn't want extra rice. Instead of getting less rice then I usually do i got more. The Mongolian beef was terrible. It had the consistency of bubblegum like rubber you couldn't eat it. I had at least 7 pieces that I couldn't eat cause they tasted like rubber. I was going to return it cause it was that bad but it was a drive so I didn't. I gave this place a chance but, i'm never going back here again.

We've been ordering from Sum's for close to 10 years, and during that time it's changed hands several times, with the quality varying dramatically from very good to so bad we just wrote them off for a while. As of this writing they've got some pretty good people running it and the food is good, standard carry-out fare with occasional flashes of brilliance. It still seems to depend on who's manning the woks, but their portions are huge, their service fast, and the Dinner for Two will easily feed 4-6 for about $25. You're probably not going to swoon in gustatory ecstasy with Sum's, but they do the job. It's good to have them back.

Sum's is a typical storefront chop suey joint. They have a surprisingly extensive menu and some very reasonable lunch specials. We tried the Mongolian Beef, Kang Pao Chicken and the Beef Lo Mein. The lunch specials are huge. They came with soup and an egg roll as well. The soups were not very good, but the egg rolls were decent enough and the entrees were good enough for a cheap lunch. They are located across the street from the Sara Lee Outlet Store. When I go back to SLOS, I would certainly consider picking up lunch again. I literally made 3 meals out of one $5 lunch. Can't beat that!!!! I also like that the kitchen is open. I watched my food being prepared. Kind of a fun free floor show!!

The food was good but the Egg Rolls where the best!

This chinese food was ok. I ordered beef fried rice and beef egg foo young. The rice didn't have mixed veggies in it, which I liked. The beef was tender. The egg foo youngs gravy was good, just couldve been a little thicker and fried a little darker for my taste. It wasn't bad. Typical chinese fast food.

Great food.. Much better than the nearby Asian spots:) love it!!

For a take-out restaurant, I love this place. The food is always fresh, and the portions quite large. Great crab rangoon! Is it the best Chinese ever? Of course not. But if you want delicious, fresh food at a great price, then look no further. Moo Goo Gai Pan is my favorite.

Really, five stars, people? Do you guys TASTE what you're eating, or do you simply put the fork in your mouth and after that it's all good? We decided to try Sum's after we were bored with out usual Chinese places. We ordered two items, the Seasame Chicken and the General's Chicken. The Seasame Chicken can be descirbed in two words: sweet mush. Very little seasoning whatsoever. The menu calls it hot and sweet. It was sweet, but the only person who would even consider that even mild in the hotness department would have had to only eaten hospital food for the last five years. Seriously bland. The General's Chicken was better; it actually had some flavor. Not a ton, and was nowhere near what I'd call hot (or even mild); this dish is suitable to feed those suffering from chemical burns. The breading wasn't crisp, and felt more like eating dumplings. Much more disconcerting than the complete lack of spices was the chicken's texture for both dishes. The General's chicken is breaded, and it was impossible to tell where the breading ended and where the chicken began. At first I thought that maybe I had a dough ball, that there was no chicken at all... ...so I performed an autopsy on one of my chicken chunks. To my surprise, there WAS meat inside. I don't know how, but the meat was literally soft and spongy! Seriously, there is more tooth feel from a McDonalds chicken nugget; THAT'S how soft the meat was. The seasame chicken was exactly the same way, so it wasn't just that one dish. I guess the best thing you can say about this place is if every other restaurant in the area closed down, you could eat their food and not get sick. You probably wouldn't enjoy it much, but you won't be running to the bathroom every twenty minutes, either. (Seriously, five stars, people? As in chinese food doesn't *get* any better than this!?? WTF!!)

Sum's Chop Suey is a carry-out only restaurant. It's located adjacent to a convenience store on Dempster, east of Crawford Avenue. Parking is adequate. When you walk in to pick up your food, you can see the kitchen. To me, this is a nice feature. When a kitchen is hidden, you have no idea what is going on in there. Sum's doesn't hide anything. The staff has always been friendly. They offer a customer loyalty program with coupons--much like some pizza joints. The food is tasty and the menu extensive. I've enjoyed the WonTon soup, egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken/pork, fried rice and many beef and chicken dishes. They have all been good. Once I asked that they not use MSG and they said they don't use MSG on any of their dishes. Nice. This is my current favorite Chinese restaurant. The food is great, the portions are large and the people are friendly.

I love this little whole on the wall. The people are great and genuine. The food is great. I love the lunch specials. They give you enough food for the buck.

I am never disappointed with Sum's. The pricing is extremely reasonable. Where else can I order 5 or 6 large entrees with an appetizer or two for around $40. I can feed 4 adults and a couple kids with leftovers! Food quality is very high including fresh veggies, seafood (shrimp, scallops), meats, etc. Not too saucy like most "chop suey" restaurants. My favorites entrees involve green beans, broccoli, Moo shoo, BBQ pork, all vegetables, scallops, shrimp, pea pods, pan fried noodles... the list goes on. I think my favorites are Moo Shoo pork and Scallops with Pea Pods. I do not think I have had a bad entree at Sum's, ever. I have ordered out from Sum's more than 10 times over the last few years. Speed of order completion is very high as, with most Chinese restaurants, they use woks on very high heat for stir frying.
