China Lamp Restaurant

VERY GOOD FOOD!I recently moved into Brighton/McKinley Park, so I wasnt sure which Chineese place near me would be good. Based off the positive review here on yelp, I bit the bullet. And I'm glad I did.The food was inexpensive, and very yummy.I ordered one of the "special combinations", and got way too much food for $4.20.And yes, the "crabmeat delight" was indeed a delight.Downside?NO CREDIT CARDS OR CHECKS. CASH ONLY. Dont forget to hit the ATM. Lasalle Bank has an ATM at 42nd and Ashland if you have them or Bank of America.Also, this is more of a take-out than dine- in experience. The decor is more weathered, and the tv is a bit fuzzy.This will most likely be my go-to place for Chinese going into the future.

The food was good. Their online presence is the worst. I took lots of pictures of the menu for your benefit; you're welcome. Good luck finding one anywhere else. Lots of trouble understanding her over the phone, but I didn't feel like I could trust any of the online ordering options. I think the cashew chicken was my favorite, but I'm not sure because nothing was labeled and they didn't put the nuts in the Kung pao and cashew chicken. The orange chicken and general tso's weren't as crispy as I like.

Delicious. Hot made to order. Taste like real Chinese food. I will be back. Hidden gem

I love this place. I don't live in the area anymore but definitely go out of my way to order from here. The food is delicious and the prices are super reasonable. My favorite is the spicy chicken and broccoli and the spicy beef fried rice. You definitely can't go wrong with it

This is one of those hole in the wall places that winds up winning Michelin stars lol ... seriously.. and the price cannot be beat... I don't like to give 5 stars because there is always room for improvement but to give the food 4 didn't seem fair .. try it.

Excellent place for TAKE OUT not so much eat-in.: The food tastes great and is VERY well priced. The chicken fried rice (which is really turkey not chicken) is great and the "crab meat delight" (crab ragoon) is excellent. The dinner plates are a good value and no matter if it is take-out our eat-in the plate is always full, no skimping.You can eat in, but if you are trying to impress someone it's not the place to go - also if your very hungry and not very patient, the wait may seem a tad long. I recommend this place, but suggest for take out- call in the order in advance!

I've been going to this place for a while now. They are fast when you dine in or call for delivery. The dinnig area is clean & they also have good customer service. They food is always hot & taste fresh all the time. My favorite is their curry chicken w/onions. But they have other good items to choose from.

Emily H wrote a review on China Lamp on 1/7/2017 on this forum, this is NOT China Lamp on 4603 S. Ashland. Not even close. China Lamp I know is in the hood and as of May 2022, they don't even allow sit ins. But I know that is the wrong review.

My all time favorite Chinese restaurant!! It's so close to my house I order on the food and by time I drive there my food is ready

Probably one of the best Chinese restaurants ever. My family and I have been going here for over 15 years. AMAZING!!
