“ We ordered a massive order here Christmas 2023 when we had some last minute change of plans and everybody loved the food. This has been my go-to place for Chinese takeout when I'm in the area ever since. The menu is similar to what you'd find at any mom & pop Chinese place, but here the food has been consistently very high quality and delicious. You get a huge quantity for the price. The Chicken Lo Mein is excellent. Love this place! ”
“ There is a decent selection of items on their menu. The prices are reasonable and everything we've tried so far has been good overall. I've never tried dining in before but the promptness of their takeout service is excellent. The owner is also very friendly and quite personable. Highly recommended. ”
“ Adequate Chinese food. Have had worse. Egg rolls were good. Won ton soup was not bad. ”
“ We have lived in the area for four years and had tried this restaurant many times. About 6 months ago we had had it. The owner was nasty about something and we were done. So 6 months have gone by and we went back. First of all, the dining room is open for the first time since Covid. Second, the food was INCREDIBLE. Admittedly we only had hot and sour soup, won ton soup, Pot stickers, Mongolian Shrimp and Chicken with Pan Fried Noodles. I swear that everything was shockingly amazing. We spoke to the NEW OWNER for a while and she is really sweet and very accommodating. She and her husband run the show and he is a great chef. I hope people in the area will stop by there. It would be a shame to have this restaurant leave Rolling Meadows. ”
“ Great experience this time around. We did delivery on a Saturday night. Food portions were great, food hot, and we even got free almond cookies! ”
“ @Thehealthinspector8 The restaurant has reopened. Courteous staff and family friendly. Dine-in or carry-out. ”
“ My wife and I was in the area and was craving some Chinese food. We came in and tried the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup and Beef Chop Suey. My wife had the soup and it did not disappoint. The beef was tender and the soup was spicy to help with the cold day. The bok choy was crunchy with was cooked just right. As for the chop suey, I got it with fried noodles for the crunch. It was absolutely delicious! The portion was so big I had some to go. I loved the assortment of veggies and the tender cuts of beef. I would definitely be back again. Looking forward to trying something different!!! ”
“ We were so disappointed to learn that Absolutely Chinese is closing at the end of November 2023. We are regular take-out patrons, finding this one of the best and most consistent Chinese Restaurants in our area (Palatine, IL). Technically, I think they are in Rolling Meadows, but the location is only a few miles from our home. We've tried so many items on their menu over the years, I can't remember them all. I don't ever remember a bad or, below standard meal from them. If you are in the area, do them and yourselves a favor and order from them before they close permanently. We learned today that they already closed the restaurant and only do take-out business. For tonight, we had Hot and Sour Soup, Pork Fried Rice, Curry Chicken, Pork Chow Fun, and Hunan Green Beans. Maybe since it could be the last time we order from there, or maybe they want to go out with a bang, but the food was better than I remember. In particular, the Pork Fried Rice had enormous chunks of BBQ Pork. Even so, the Curry Chicken was tastier than normal. I didn't have much of the Chow Fun (since there was so much else) so can't comment on that, but other that ate it, said it was very good. The Hot and Sour Soup was a good as unual. So, I wish the owners all of the best in whatever they do next. It's been a priviledge being your patron over the years. ”
