    Beef noodle with beef shank
    Kenyata F.

    The place was clean and plenty of lot parking. Staff kind and service quick. I liked the option of homemade dumpling and noodles. The ambiance is standard decent music playlist . I ordered chicken dumplings pan fried. The fry on dumpling was nice. The dumpling was a little thicker than I expected but okay as the chicken lacked flavor or maybe a pinch of salt. I also ordered Schezaun beef noodle with beef shank. It was pretty good but I tried to add some chilli oil to it and it didn't add flavor just a little more heat. I would have liked a bit of salt or garlic in it but otherwise it was cool. Again, fresh noodle versus instant is always ideal. As a person who loves dumplings I would return for that and try another dish.

    Went here to try out the local dumplings But were very very disappointed in the food taste. The dumplings had such a thick wrapper that it was almost like impossible to bite and then it lacked seasoning! The noodles had very weird taste I won't recommend at all.

    We were in the mood for some Chinese food, but wanted to try something different from our usual places. I'm glad I listened to my friend and friend Chef Junes. The place is small, but well kept. There were two people cooking in the kitchen and one young lady waiting tables. Service was quick and efficient, and the food was great! We all love the salt and pepper pork chop, so much flavor and great texture! My daughters loved the cold noodles too. We'll be back again soon, it was all very yummy!

    The correct business hours

    My husband and I had lunch at Chef June's recently, and the food was AMAZING! We had two kinds of Gua bao (pork belly is definitely the winner), I had mapo tofu with meat with steamed rice (from the lunch menu) and my husband has tonkotsu ramen. They were all delicious, so we finished everything - not even a drop of soup or grain of rice were left on our plates! The service was fast and friendly. It's a cozy place but plenty of tables. We'll definitely come back! Note: The business hours on Yelp is wrong. I already contacted them with the photo, so hopefully they'll correct it soon. We were in the area too early (or so we thought) and killed some time making errands until 11:30 am but they were already opened at 11 am.

    Great dumplings, doesn't seem to get as much "press" but I'd say it's just as good if not better than some other places. The soup dumplings are sublime, everything was delicious and not as salty. Service is a bit slow, so be prepared to just take your time, enjoy your company and the food.

    38. Mongolian Beef lunch special
    Drew F.

    I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile but every time I tried to order, they were closed or I tried out of normal hours. I get back to town, drop my car at the shop down the street for service & walk over, I'm the only person in at 1:30p on a Monday. Seated and order taken quickly after friendly greeting. 5 people sit at 3 tables while kitchen is coming. Getting busy. Pork dumplings come first then Mongolian beef lunch special. I added chili crisp and enjoyed both. I would return.

    I was looking forward to trying Chef June's Dumplings, as they had beef noodle soup on their menu. Sadly to say, it lacked in delivering a quality noodle soup dish. Looked like they added chili oil to the soup broth at the very end before serving. The Pork Belly Gua Bao was average. Looking at their menu, it has more of an Americanized menu. If I were to come back, I'd only try their handmade dumplings.

    First time here with a huge party of 18. Luckily we make reservations before arrived as the restaurant has very limited capacity and we arrived in an hour before closing time. There is only one server working at that time, so I took the initiative to take down 18 people's order then pass it to her to make her work easier. The food came out around 15-20mins after order. So we are unable to take photos for dumplings.... The dumplings are damn delicious either boiled dumplings or pan fried dumplings.... Even children also like the taste. When comes to noodles, our favourite is the Biang Biang noodles. We will definitely come back to try out more options soon

    Beef 3. Beef with Scallion Dumplings

    The best dumplings in town! I've had the beef scallion, pork mushroom Napa and vegetarian dumplings and all are amazing. Always great and diligent service.

    Red vinegar with ginger slices for your Xiao long bao but I didn't use it because it was good as is

    A follow up review of Chef June and is it possible that the 2nd time is even better than the first? Holy Moly! We got there tonight a Monday night at 6pm and it was quite slow but people starts to show up soon after. Hubby and I ordered the Szechuan won ton and it was spicy but in the Mala way so it's not too spicy but it numb your tongue perfectly! It was so good. Then we shared the Dan Dan Mein and same thing. It is a bit spicy, no soup with thick Shanghai noodles, peanuts, pork, bean sprouts and some scallions. It was just enough spice to make you say ahhhhhhh oh so good. We also shared a beef shank noodle soup and this one was NOT spicy. Finally something not spicy because I want to drink the soup and we finished EVERYTHING. Not even a drop of soup is left. First time was good but 2nd time was even better!!! I can't wait to go back for the 3rd, 4th and 5th time! Happy New Year Chef June and wishing you good fortune on your business!

    Delicious sushi and drinks! Came on Friday to have a couple drinks and spend time with friends…read more Really enjoyed the delicious sushi rolls and this was my first time having any type of raw fish! I loved the Jade Sangria, drinks recommended by our waiter. My favorite roll was the volcano roll, just so yummy. Quick and attentive service with a great atmosphere! They even accommodated us inside after we chose to sit outside and it started to get dark and rainy.

    Very disappointed with my takeout experience tonight. I ordered two vegetarian sushi rolls and one…read moreseafood roll, and when I picked up the order they were all placed in the same container. Unfortunately my wife is vegetarian and the seafood roll included fish eggs, so that obviously doesn't work. I called the restaurant to ask if the order could be remade and simply packaged separately. At first I was told no, and after speaking with the manager it turned into an unnecessarily difficult conversation before they finally agreed to remake it. What was most disappointing wasn't the initial mistake -- those happen -- but the attitude and unwillingness to correct something that was such a simple fix. As someone who works in the hospitality industry, I strongly believe that taking care of your guests and making things right should always come first. Losing a loyal customer over the cost of a few sushi rolls simply doesn't make sense. Restaurants, especially those serving seafood and shellfish, should be mindful that many guests have dietary restrictions, allergies, or lifestyle choices like vegetarian or vegan diets. Unless it's clearly stated otherwise, customers should be able to expect that separate items will be packaged separately. Unfortunately this experience has made me reconsider supporting a place I've visited and recommended many times before in Downers Grove. Hoping this is something they reflect on for the future.
