Best Chinese Restaurants in South Barrington

We always enjoy eating at PF Chang’s. I just wish they had a bigger selection of beer.

We always seem to get the Mongolian Beef and the Sesame Chicken, preceded by egg rolls. As usual, the food was tasty, served hot, and quickly. Service was great, and Rosemary aptly helped us pick out the best pairings of noodles or rice. Prices are reasonable. One word of caution: the red onions in the chicken dish are potent. We'll be back.

THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE SHRIMP WITH LOBSTER SAUCE FOR ME, EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN TAKEN OFF THE MENU. PLEASE PUT IT BACK ON. MY SERVER , BAILEY, SAID IT'S REQUESTED OFTEN. BAILEY SUPPLIED ME WITH REFILLS ON MY DRINK WITHOUT ME HAVING TO ASK. THAT IS MY DEFINITION OF GREAT SERVICE.

We had Christmas lunch here, so it was pretty quiet and the staff weren’t so busy. With that in mind, service was friendly, prompt and attentive. The food was excellent: pot stickers for starters, then mutton stir fry, beef fried rice and Singapore noodles. Mutton is unusual in Chicagoland but it was surprisingly good. PL8 is now in our top 2 Chinese restaurants in the NW burns.

Christmas Eve celebration with my children, we sat in the room off to the side of the main dining room. The noise was moderate, we could carry a conversation over the chatter of others. Our server was very attentive with drink refills and checking on us. We could tell their dining room became busier as we went to leave, we waited a bit longer to pay our check than expected based on the rest of service. We could see our server was busy with other groups and we weren't in a hurry! Food was delicious as always, it's nice going somewhere that the kids and I can all get something different to enjoy. We share the Potstickers appetizer, ordered soup, and three entrees. No leftovers were taken home since we cleared our plates :)
