Long time customer, first time complainer…read more Tried to go to dinner with my husband on Monday night 1-19-26. We walk in, were seated and I thought it seemed cold. I looked around and noticed that everyone in the restaurant was wearing a coat. We waited for 5 minutes, our waiter came by and brought menus and water, and I asked him if the heat was broken. And he told me yes the heat is broken. I don't know what the temperature was inside, but the carryout business was very busy and there were about 8 or 10 tables with people seated. Again, every single person was wearing a coat. I asked if the heat was going to be fixed right away, and he said no no maybe tomorrow. We left. When I go to Jess Cafe, I'm not looking for fine dining, or white tablecloths. I want dinner. Relatively quickly, inexpensively, and consistent. What I don't want is to freeze my ass off while I'm dining. We figured we'd come back the next night. Tuesday 1-20-26, I called to ask if the heat had been fixed. I was told no not really. So we stayed home for dinner. That's okay. Wednesday 1-21-26, had a meeting to go to, so my husband went out for pizza with a couple of friends. Today, Thursday 1-22-26. Long, long day at work, and it wasn't even time for lunch! My coworkers wanted to order Chinese food for lunch but before I committed I thought I would check with Jess Cafe to see if they had heat, because if they did my husband and I would go there for dinner. So I called. A nice guy answered the phone and I asked if they had heat. And he told me that it wasn't too bad, about 50° to 55°, but most customers were wearing coats and hats inside. So I ordered Chinese lunch with my friends at work and decided to write this review. The food at Jess Cafe is okay. It's not great, it's a little inconsistent, and some things are just not great at all. They also don't offer a lot of the standards that many Cantonese restaurants offer. Their potstickers are weird, they don't have shrimp toast, and they don't have the stuffed crab claws. We really like those. And they're Thai, and Korean food some of its passable but some of it is just gross. And what they charge for a small dish of kimchi you could buy a giant jar for the same price at Costco. It's nonetheless it's pretty good. As I said usually consistent, but here's my big complaint. And this is a message to the owner. A tall, good looking, skinny guy who lately has been running around in an orange down coat. Mr Jess Cafe - I don't care how you spend your money. It's your money. You earn it, you get to spend it however you want. But - if you're going to drive around in a big honking BMW SUV and perk it right in front of your restaurant fix the fucking heat so that your employees and patrons aren't freezing their asses off. You're in the hospitality business offer some hospitality. And park the fucking BMW in back because it's really kind of shitty to perk it right in front for your employees and customers to see whenever you want is freezing their gonads off. That's all I got thanks

I am from California traveling to Chicago…read more I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. The bun bo hue was flavorful, and the rice with pork chop exceeded my expectations. Best of all, the prices are very affordable compared to other places I've tried. The goi cuon is only $5.50 for two rolls, while other restaurants charge around $7.50. I highly recommend this spot. Just keep in mind that they only accept cash, although there's an ATM inside.

This restaurant is a little hard to turn into from the busy roads nearby Harlem-Irving plaza, but worth it for the delicious food within and great prices. Note that this spot is cash only, but the servers will warn you before you order and there's an ATM within the restaurant. On my visit here, I tried the appetizer combo which was served quickly, hot, and in the usual enormous portion. The chicken skewers have a ton of meat though it was a little overcooked this time for me. The shrimp rangoons are flavorful and crispy. Spring rolls have a tasty filling and nice crisp skin. The fresh spring rolls are the standout item here, with a great texture, bouncy noodle texture, and a good amount of shrimp that pairs well with their peanut sauce. Overall, worth a visit for anyone who enjoys Vietnamese food and a lot of food at a great price.

What's going on with Te amo Norridge?…read more Used to be really good but a few months ago I noticed different personnel. The screens don't work, so I can't see what options they have. The employee asks me what I want as if I already know the whole menu, but doesn't explain the different options. The app doesn't allow ordering anything at this location. The same employee, multiple times at different hours, has told me: "the boba isn't ready, I just started cooking it, you have to wait," or "I just opened the store," or "I'm about to close." There is NO BOBA. THERE IS NOTHING. How is it possible that a boba shop doesn't have boba? It's also not the busiest location where you could say it runs out very quickly. I don't understand what is wrong with this store. Te Amo has incredible products and in this area it's the only nearby location; however, I've preferred to go to other stores and not waste my time. It's very sad that this is happening, I hope you start paying attention.

It was a nice, light lunch as opposed to all of the other options in the food court. There's fried onion or crispy onion. The girl let me get one of each. I don't know which one was which but the crispy crumbs added a lot of flavor which I liked. We got two bubble tea drinks. I got regular sweetness for hubs and less sweet for mine. They were both too sweet. I'm sure both were probably powder. I didn't mind the milk tea one but I thought his horchata one tasted gross.

The crab rangoons were also tasty and nicely crisp. The General Tso's chicken had good flavor, but the pieces were very large, which made them a bit harder to eat and less balanced with the sauce. It was off putting to me. The fried rice was okay overall, but it felt a bit plain. It could have used more ingredients mixed in--especially more egg--to give it more flavor and texture.
