In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Skokie; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Illinois are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11:30 am–9 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.

Some friends and I often meet for lunch at Lao Sze Chuan on Fridays and it the food, service and ambiance are pleasant. A wide range of lunch specials are offered for prices in the low double digits and are reliably served spicy when requested. My only reason for not giving more stars is that while everything is good, it is not exceptional.

A great place with authentic Chinese and Sichuan cuisine! If you like spicy food, be sure to try their signature chicken with chili (Szechuan Spicy Chicken) — the portion is huge, and the taste is simply incredible. The meat is very tender, and the spices are perfectly matched. We also had Peking duck and dim sum, everything was brought hot and fresh. The interior of the establishment is pleasant, the service is quite fast and polite, despite the large number of people in the hall. The prices fully justify the quality of the food and the portion size. I definitely recommend you to visit one of the best authentic Asian cuisine establishments in the area!

A nice experience overall. Food is good especially those Chinese food that’s rare to find in usual American restaurants such as the duck, and it’s cooked pretty good.

I ordered the chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken, and vegetables—and every single dish was packed with flavor, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was tender, the sauces were rich without being overwhelming, and the fried rice was spot-on. Everything tasted like it was made with care. I would recommend this place to absolutely everyone looking for delicious, quality Chinese food. I’ll definitely be coming back!

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!
