Tsing Tao Mandarin Chinese Restaurant

a good, local chinese place. the food is far from stellar, but it's fairly priced and a nice place to go and sit down in downtown wilmette. further, people don't seem to really know about it, so it's rarely crowded.

I really love this place.  It has been my grandmas favorite Chinese choice since I was a child.  It's family run and they have some excellent menu items.  Their orange chicken is possibly the best that you will find and the rest of their menu is packed with fresh tasty options.  It's a bit more high end then some of the chop suey shops in the area, but if you're looking for quality meal this is your spot!

Tsing Tao has decent food and the service is excellent.  The owner is so kind. Their lunch specials are very reasonable, it comes with soup, egg roll and entree.  We just went the other day and noticed the prices went up, but that's ok, we still enjoyed our meal. I love their hot and sour soup, it's quite authentic.  Definitely better than most chinese restaurants in the burbs. I like the chop suey, mongolian beef and shrimp with veggies. Ambiance isn't the greatest, but my daughter loves the fish tank. She tries to sit in the booth right next to it. But do we really go to a chinese restaurant for ambiance??? We also do lots of carry-out.
