Went here for date night by with my boyfriend. I’ve never received my food faster at a restaurant than I did here. We ordered, literally five minutes later we had all four of our dishes. All of which were delicious. Beware, the bathroom is a little treacherous, hence the low rating for the atmosphere. But over all it was a great experience.
Great portions on everything, prices are unbeatable. I can't speak to the sushi but the dishes we got: - Chili pork dumplings - Fried pork dumplings - Scallion Pancakes - Green beans - Szechuan chicken noodle soup - Spicy Lamb noodle soup - Braised Beef noodle soup - Beef Brisket noodle soup - Dondon noodles (dan dan mian) Were all really good. What stood out to me the most was the chili oil pork dumplings. The only thing I will say is the dan dan mian is meh. It's soupy which isn't quite right and also it's flavor is overall just okay. The other noodle soups were great. Service was good but will say during rush time it can get really cramped in there!
Everything was absolutely delicious. We seated in a relatively good amount of time. We only had to wait about 15 minutes. There are two sections to the restaurant so there is a good ample amount of seating. The edamame was great as well as the Kung pow chicken and chicken fried rice. The Mongolian beef also very tasty. Everything was priced wonderfully and we had a very nice server. We were very happy with our visit.
Delicious food, 10/10 would visit again. The menu is extremely large (22 pages long) so I guarantee there is something for everyone. The flavor in every bite of each dish was just delightful. My gf thought her black pepper beef and chicken soup dumplings were the best dishes we had during our entire Chicago trip.
The portions of the noodles were huge; I ordered a pho and a Chaoshan double meatball noodle soup, and I couldn't finish either. The broth was also delicious. The food came out very quickly, and the mango beef was excellent. The beef was perfectly cooked, neither too soft nor too tough. The pieces were also the perfect size for a single bite. The menu had a wide variety of options, making it hard to choose, and the drinks were also very good. I liked the chrysanthemum and citrus drink because you could choose between hot or cold, which is perfect for Chicago's winter.
