Tong's Hunan Chinese Restaurant In Northbrook

Tong’s Hunan is a very popular Chinese Restaurant in Northbrook IL (a Northwest Suburb of Chicago).  People love Tong’s Hunan – it’s always busy!  While several other Chinese restaurants in the area closed down, Tong’s Hunan continues to do well – so they must be doing something right :)  Great Chinese food, quick service, good prices and huge portions – it all keeps people coming for more.  Don’t let the strip mall location fool you – this place is really authentic.  For a great Chinese Food in Northbrook, head over to Tong’s Hunan!

Tong’s Hunan is located in the strip mall on the corner of Dundee Rd and Sanders Rd – in the same plaza as Dominick’s.  So if you see Dominicks, go to that plaza – Tong’s Hunan is to the right of Dominicks.  And of course, a car had to be parked in front of Tong’s as I was taking a picture of it from the outside :)

Tong’s Hunan has great hot & sour soup. It’s rich and chunky and has the right amount of spice and an outstanding taste!  They also have a version that uses chicken instead of pork :)

Below is a picture of their garlic chicken.  It’s hard to tell on the photo, but this portion is huge!  One portion is enough to feed two hungry adults, and it’s just $10.95 :) Can’t beat that price for a sit-down dinner for two!

Tong’s Hunan garlic chicken is delicious – the chicken is tender, spicy and super garlicky with a yummy sauce – just as the perfect garlic chicken should be!

If you have picky small chicken that won’t eat Chinese food, here’s what you do.  Even though Tong’s Hunan doesn’t have a kids menu, as the waiter for some plain boiled noodles for the kids.  Most kids love plain noodles, and they’ll be busy and happy eating them while you have a feast of Chinese food :)

Tong’s Hunan also has great lunch specials – for $8 or less, you get a huge entree, 2 pieces of crab won-ton appetizer, fried rice and fortune cookies.  And remember, you don’t have to pay for a drink, since you get that free tea :)
