Lao Sze Chuan

"A smile goes a long way. I am not in the restaurant business, but when you go to eat in a restaurant with your family, it's usually a fun time. A restaurator should elevate that, but I didn't get that here. One of the waitresses was just rude. She didn't smile, didn't make eye contact, and when asked for water, kinda waved her hand and walked away... The food was the only thing that kept us smiling. Good portions and good taste. I would recommend the Lemon shrimp, Kung Pao Shrimp and the Kung Pao Tofu."

"I think it’s one of the most authentic Chinese cuisine in the Northern Suburbs of Chicago, located in Skokie, IL! We’re there about 3 years ago and just went there again and it was still very good! The portion size is decent and the price went up approximately $3 for some of the dishes, which is not too bad! Service was great!"

"Dine in. Lunch special was great, huge portions, great quality. Will definitely be back. edited - Friendy staff. If you are reading this I have came back a few times since doing my original review, and this place does not disappoint. Food is great quality matched with quantity and great atmosphere. This place is worth it."

"We were lucky to find this gem on line, read the reviews and decided to try it since we were in Skokie. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The shredded pork with garlic sauce was the best I’ve ever had. The design of the restaurant and bar is tasteful, well designed and made with quality materials. The dining area is broken down into sections so that you don’t feel like you’re eating with 100 other people. Staff was well dressed but sometimes didn’t understand the questions. Bathrooms are modern and clean. This restaurant is a winner for sure and I will definitely return in the future!"

"Their food is spectacular! I used to order from them all the time and finally decided to pay a visit and go to eat in the restaurant. Place looks cool, modern and warm. Before we ordered we got complimentary "spicy cabbage", we couldn't stop eating it! It was so fresh with perfect amount of oil, but very spicy, what we liked! We ordered few entrees and appetizers to share all at once! Fried rice is perfect, not to greasy with lots of fresh veggies. Salt and pepper squid is amazing dish, that we can never skip, not fried too much, salty enough, but not too much.. Also never trued dry szechuan sausage, reminded us of European dried pork sausage, but Chinese is more spiced and salty! We love food from this place, but service could do bit better as other people mentioned, nothing negative to say about it, but nothing positive either. All in all 5/5 place!"
