Name your favorite Chinese take-out restaurant - preferably in the SW or Western Burbs.

Any hidden gems?

I rarely do Chinese takeout anymore, but King's Wok on 95th just west of Kedzie has been the go to.

Is there really bad Chinese food? When I lived in Oak Park area, I liked Luo's.

Since I've been on West Side, I usually go to Chinese Kitchen on Kedzie and Fillmore or China Phoenix on Madison and Campbell.

Katy's Dumplings in Westmont is my favorite place - stick to the noodle dishes and soups and stay away from the obligatory "standards." Pork Fried Noodle spicy and an order of steamed dumplings is a good start. It is the little ethnic shopping plaza just north of Cass/Ogden.

But the only thing is that the food doesn't really survive takeout very well unless you're only a mile or two away.

Lao Schezuan in Downers Grove used to be my standby for taking food home for later, but that outpost has gone downhill substantially in the last two years and I can't recommend it any more. The flagship was still good a few months ago but I haven't had a chance to get there since the owner plead guilty to tax fraud.

Yes. The meat can be fatty and/or overly breaded. The sauces can be too thick and gloppy.

Most Chinese take out is awful. The good Chinese joints are few & far between.
