There are a million reasons to love Chinese food and, really, it doesn't take more than one reason to get you moving to your favorite spot.

So tell us: Which Chinese restaurant is your go-to spot when that's what you want?

That being said, Patch is running the ultimate Readers’ Choice yet. While we’ve done similar contests in the past, this one includes business from Skokie, Niles, Morton Grove, Park Ridge and Des Plaines. Our 2012 winner will even receive an award for having the best Chinese food in town. On a side note, we’ve also fixed our voting mechanism, meaning people can no longer manipulate the system.

To vote, simply login to your Patch account and select the business that you think has the best product. That’s it. Voting ends Aug. 17, at 5:00 p.m.

Patch readers nominated all the following businesses and the nomination period is now closed. It’s time to pick a winner, folks.
