Ms. Egg Roll
Ms. Egg Roll is a low-key Uptown gem with a tiny home-kitchen feel, where food is cooked fresh in front of you. Regulars rave about the beef curry, oversized egg rolls, crab Rangoon, wings, wonton soup, and combination fried rice, plus remarkably affordable lunch specials. It’s also a popular stop before concerts, though service and food quality can be inconsistent—check your order before leaving.

“Small home kitchen type place with all the feel of a hidden gem. Ms Egg Roll provides a generous selection at unbeatable prices! Ms Egg Roll really piles it on. Freshly prepared-to-order meals well worth tipping for! 4513 N Sheridan Rd Chgo”
“i would die for this woman. the food is so unbelievably good with HUUUUGE portions. get lunches all under 10$ ish and dinners all under 20$. all hail miss egg roll”
“The food was freshly made. It was still in the wok to keep warm until I returned to pick up. The lady was very nice and food is delicious. The $6 lunch special (tax included ) comes with a palm size egg roll which is yummy. I can’t believe you still can find $6 freshly cook hot lunch in 2024. Im grateful ❤️🙏”
“I am so upset and disappointed. I have been going to this restaurant since I was a kid, and everything used to be really good. Unfortunately, the past couple years it has really started to go downhill. A couple of the only things that we could still eat from there were the crab sticks with cheese and the sweet and sour chicken, however, this time, it was totally inedible. The supposed crab sticks weren’t even the right thing, and I have no idea what they are, but, beyond that, they were so burned and greasy that they weren’t even edible had they been the right thing. The chicken was just weird, oily/greasy, not cooked properly, not breaded properly, and limp, not crispy at all. I tried to eat one and it tasted terrible, like burnt, bitter, oily chicken. The rice wasn’t even right, and it’s just plain rice! I am so extremely disappointed that it has gotten this bad, and I’m baffled at how they have raised their prices so high for inedible food! I am out $25 and I AM HUNGRY!”
“The beef curry is amazing, I got the small and it was enough food. Perfect spicy level, amazing.”
“Great concert at Ms. Eggroll! I ordered 4 eggrolls and despite the place being packed, I received my order very quickly. She was taking orders and prepping all of the food by herself. 5 stars!”
“very good and affordable. the lady behind the counter is so sweet and nice. the egg rolls are soooo good”
“This is the best Chinese food I've had in over 20 years. Now this lady can cook. Food cooked fresh and in front of you.”
