    Cheap and tasty chinese food with very generous portions! They're also pretty quick with getting the food out once they've taken your order

    Mongolian Beef Combination Fried Rice
    Alan ..

    I had called ahead because I was indecisive on what to get but the lady helped me decide. Was trying to go on DoorDash to order but it wouldn't let me upgrade my rice like it did on their website, so I ordered there. I got the Mongolian beef and combination fried rice and the portions they give you are hugeee it was awesome and the taste was even better! Had some spiciness to the beef and every bite was just flavor town. The egg roll was great too I could taste a hint of peanut. The lady that helped me on the phone also delivered, she was really fast and sweet. Definitely would come back.

    General Tso's Chicken

    So I was visiting Chicago my girlfriend family lives by this place and they were speaking so highly about this Chinese spot, cause they know I love me some Chinese food. So I went and tried it out and I honestly can say this the best Chinese place I ever had in my life. I can't speak for everyone but I love this place. Every time someone speak to me about Chinese Food, I recommend them this place. I even love the amount of food they give you. Their not stingy with their portion of food like Panda Express...they will actually fill up your tray!, those small little things maker...that's the reason I keep going back!, KEEP IT UP CHOP SUEY. Ima fan lol from OHIO to CHICAGO

    Fried potstickers

    1Chop Suey can be found in a strip mall next to McDonald's and across the street from Lane Tech HS. I almost blew past it because their street signage is not lit. I think the light bulbs are burnt out and there isn't enough street lighting to indicate what they are. They're at the east end of the strip mall. Food is cheap and they are throwing it at you. Their pricing is some of the cheapest for FF Chinese in the city. The food looks pretty good but the taste & quality could be better. I suppose there's a reason why it's inexpensive. Lunch combos are also available at night for a dollar more. A food combo pack can weigh a few pounds and it comes in Styrofoam so be careful when handling. I'm sure I could make this food last 2 - 3 meals. Combos have a choice of shrimp or chicken fried rice, your entree and an egg roll. Their egg rolls are forgettable, I'd wager these are pre-made elsewhere. There's a frozen quality to it. Shrimp fried rice is made with the small kind known usually as "bay" shrimp or xs. (I just hope its wild and not farmed) They'll hear your requests and respond like they'll fulfill it. I dunno for sure. I asked for something to be spicy and they added some chilies to it. It wasn't spicy though. I'd gotten a General Tso's dinner special with shrimp fried rice. An extra egg roll with the free one and an order of potstickers. (Around $15 dollars) When I arrived they were still frying them. Unfortunately they rushed the process and only singed one of them. Usually, fried potstickers should have a nice toasted/fried marking on the bottoms of all of them. I loove potstickers.. General Tso's was okay tasting to me, though I think most people would dig it. Well, people that enjoy FF Chinese. The sauce is strong with its sour/sweet taste & the chicken was frozen/ rubbery. I stopped eating it and switched to the rice solely. If "dining on the dime" it could satiate a hunger. If hunting for quality keep it moving. I gotta say, I think it's awesome they offer lunch combo specials for local HS students. Not many businesses practice or realize the potential in marketing to a local demographic.

    Ribs with Black Beans
    Sheyenne H.

    Ordered salt&pepper shrimp, ribs with black bean sauce, vegetable chop suey, fried rice and kani sticks appetizer which I LOVED!! I'm just a sucker for kani and this was deep fried and breaded. I don't know if that is a thing now but it's . Everything else was excellent except for the veggie dish which was filled with mung bean sprouts which I loathe. Would have preferred if the chop suey was more green than white.

    Egg Drop Soup
    Taylor M.

    My weakness is ordering takeout Chinese food. Tonight I decided to try a new place and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the orange chicken which comes with shrimp fried rice, which I thought was a fun option because i'm used to either steamed rice or plain fried rice. I also ordered egg drop soup, and 2 egg rolls but I somehow ended up with 3 (not complaining) I was in shock when I received the food because it was a huge portion!l I definitely think two people could share a meal here but I'm happy i'll have leftovers. For reference the picture I added, I had already taken out half the food and there was still that much left over! I thought the orange chicken and shrimp fried rice were delicious. The egg drop soup was also good but I wasn't a huge fan of the egg rolls, however they were still fresh and warm an like the rest of the food. I would definitely order takeout from here again because the food was good, you get a huge portion, and I think it's a great deal price wise!

    Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen is the underground emperor of late-night Chinese food in Chicago, the spot…read moreyour Uber driver, your bartender, and every chef in the city whispers about when they're truly hungry. Tucked into a no-frills corner on the South Side, Dai Yee's looks modest from the outside, but step in after 10 p.m. and it's pure magic. The room is packed with everybody--sneakerheads, nurses coming off shift, club kids, cops, and couples on first dates who somehow heard the legend. The vibe is chaotic in the best way: woks roaring, orders flying, and that unmistakable perfume of sizzling garlic, ginger, and chili filling the air. The food is straight-up stupid good. The Hong Kong-style salt & pepper smelts are crackly, spicy, and gone in 30 seconds. The beef chow fun has that elusive wok hei (breath of the wok) that most places only dream of, wide rice noodles slick with smoky char and tender flank steak. The black pepper beef tenderloin is velvet-soft, glossy, and aggressively peppery in a way that makes you order extra rice just to survive the happiness. The Singapore noodles are bright curry perfection, and the Mongolian beef is saucy, crispy-edged, and borderline addictive. Portions are straight out of the 90s--massive trays that could feed a family of four for under $15. Cash-only, BYOB, and everything comes out blazing hot in under ten minutes even when the place is slammed. The ladies running the show are legends: fast, funny, and they'll roast you (lovingly) if you can't handle the spice level you asked for. If you leave Chicago without hitting Dai Yee's at least once (preferably at 1 a.m. with a six-pack), you didn't really experience the city. This is real-deal, no-filter, soul-satisfying Chinese food that reminds you why we fall in love with restaurants in the first place. Dai Yee's isn't just a restaurant; it's a Chicago institution in the making. I'd wait in line in a blizzard for those smelts. See you at midnight.

    Went here on a whim last night after reading all the glowing reviews on Yelp. Before that, I…read morechecked out a few eateries on the 4th floor of the Nordstrom building, but nothing really stood out, and honestly, none of them seemed very busy and the one restaurant Lao Sze Chuan was way too expensive, $30+ entrees were average and the place wasn't busy at all. So I decided to try Shang Noodle, which was tucked away on a side street off Grand Ave., just steps from Michigan Ave. It's across from the Nordstrom building, past Labriola's, down some steps and about a block away located on the south side of the street. As soon as I walked in, and I wasn't expecting this but the restaurant was extremely loud and nearly every seat was taken and everybody seemed to be enjoying themself, families, couples and groups. I figured that was a good sign and it signaled to me that the food was probably good! At first, the host wanted me to sit at the bar, which I politely declined because I don't usually sit at bars, also, I was there to eat, not pick up somebody! I noticed a small table open, pointed it out, and he kindly let me take it. No 'tude either! As far as my server goes, she was efficient, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations since it was my first visit and probably because I didn't look like the other customers who were more familiar with the cuisine. She suggested the pot stickers over the hot and sour soup, and the beef Chow Fun instead of chicken Chow Fun. The pot stickers were a little small, but crispy and very tasty. I also asked for some sweet and sour sauce on the side which I'm glad I did because it paired nicely with the pot stickers instead of that plain vinegar sauce they usually serve you. For my main dish, I ordered the char-grilled beef Chow Fun. The portion size was more than generous, and the char-grilled beef had a great umami flavor. A few of the rice noodles were a bit firm, likely undercooked, but overall though it was quite enjoyable. What I appreciated the most about Shang Noodle was the value. $18 for the beef Chow Fun and $9 for the pot stickers felt reasonable to me, considering it was on the dinner menu, the portion sizes were humongous and the restaurant was located on the Near North Side, which is usually quite pricey. I'll definitely be back, though next time I may try lunch instead, or go with friends of mine.
