China Dragon Restaurant

I've been regular at MingHin in Suburban Naperville for a few years now, and it has never…read moredisappointed. I had the pleasure of doing lunch with Dan, the keyboards for Blues Legend Buddy Guy, and I was overjoyed to learn he loved DimSum. I jumped at the chance to try the Chinatown location. We had a bunch of varied stuff from the DimSum Menu, and it was all top top notch. Cant remember exactly what we had, it's a picture menu, and as the waiter didnt seem to speak much English, it was point and shoot. All of it was distinctively yum. Like just about every place you can go in Chinatown, the premises appear slightly run-down, in that "we've been here for a hundred years, and you're coming here to eat, not ogle the architecture" way. Turned out not to be cheap-bill for 2 = $80 + change without any booze. But the quality of the food was over the top. Don't mind paying the freight, when the feed is worth it.

Everything we ordered here was delicious. We got a good spread, including a tofu dish, beef dish,…read moreand my personal favorite - the pork XO noodles. These noodles were HUGE and spiced to perfection. Service was a bit slow and unfriendly, and it was a bit confusing ordering some items from a tablet, and others from paper menus. Aside from that, MingHin Cuisine offered quality food and really neat ambiance!

I bring everyone i know here at some point. Only negative thing to say is that i no longer feel anything about anywhere else that I eat. Im okay with that though, because in my opinion this is how you run a restaurant. They are always full, but it is always worth the wait!

Sunday Funday with a fantastic first visit to a Chinatown gem!…read more I felt like Chinese food today, and rather than eating at my neighborhood regular, I wanted to go straight to Chinatown for the most delicious, authentic experience. Thanks to my deep dive and discovery on Yelp, MCCB turned out to be the perfect spot to achieve this. The restaurant has held its Michelin status for five years now, and for my first time visiting, the flavors here were incredible. Please note: the restaurant signage is not easily visible from the street since the storefront faces inward toward the mall plaza, and while looking for it, I ended up asking a local man and his wife for directions. He was so kind and welcoming that he unexpectedly left his wife on the sidewalk, my husband in the car, and walked me right across the street and into the mall to point it out from the inside! WAIT TIME: there is a 1 to 1.25 hour wait period to be seated for a table, and a $10 fee via credit card is required to secure your spot, which is then fully transferable to your bill upon checkout. The wait is a great time to walk, explore the shops, restaurants, all Chinatown has to offer, and get your steps and miles in! SERVICE: our first server, Allen, was a bit on the stiff, curt side, but overall nice. However, we had to move from a two-top table to a four-top to accommodate all the dishes we were trying. In that changeover, we were blessed to get one of the BEST servers there, Ashley, who made the experience wonderful. FOOD: we ordered an absolute feast, starting with three starters. The Cheng Du Style Dumplings were fantastic. The Crispy Crab Rangoons were actually not mini at all and had a great crunch. The Szechuan Style Cucumber was a bit underwhelming and a slight bit on the soft side for my tastes, as I prefer my veggies crunchy even when cooked. We ordered everything with the mild heat option so there was no overwhelming spice, just great flavor. For the main dishes, we started with the Cauliflower Flank Steak and added broccoli to it, which was a fantastic addition. It is cooked in an oyster sauce and has none of the standard sweeter seasonings of the other dishes. I chose this to balance a sweet and salty rationing across my dishes, finding that MCCB is a great place to get that perfect balance. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic Sauce was perfect with the mild heat option as well, and the Honey Black Pepper Flank Steak was also incredibly savory, tender, and good. We paired everything with garlic string beans, white rice, and a great jumbo shrimp fried rice. I preferred water, while my husband had a few Diet Cokes. The food comes out hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. PARKING: parking is convenient--there is street parking or you can use the two north and south lots within walking distance. The north lot is on Archer and Wentworth, and the south lot is on Cermak and Wentworth. Validated parking is permitted for a maximum of 3 hours, and you will only pay $3 with the validation. Just make sure to stay within that time limit and get it validated, because if you go over the 3 hours or forget the validation, you will have to pay the full price for the lot. PRICE: the pricing here is very reasonable for a Michelin-recognized restaurant. Our dinner came out to just under $146 total, which offers phenomenal value given the large portions and top-tier quality. If you are seeking high-quality, delicious Sichuan food in Chinatown that completely lives up to its multi-year Michelin status, and can be customized perfectly to your spice comfort, this is a great place to go. Highly recommend and will return with family!

For starters, we tried the Deep-Fried Pork Belly. It had a crunchy exterior with a dusting of chili powder, while the meat was incredibly tender. It came with a sweet chili dipping sauce that balanced the heat of the chili powder perfectly. I don't have much tolerance for spicy food, but I kept going back for "just one more bite." It was that addictive! For the main course, we tried the Mongolian Beef paired with Egg Fried Rice. The beef was so tender it practically melted in your mouth, and the vegetables had a nice bite to them--the perfect combination. The egg fried rice had just the right amount of garlic and egg, and it paired beautifully with the beef. I can't forget to mention the service. I felt like I was at my auntie's house--warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared for.

The seating and place was clean- I just be prepared to wait and skip on the dumplings since it wasn't the best quality.

The skin on theirs was the perfect crispy shatter texture and the duck was sooooo juicy! I don't know why I was always so worried about it being gamey. They give you fluffy steamed bao buns, a sauce, and scallions on the side as well as duck fried rice! Turnip cake: Obviously a must any time I come to dim sum. I've never seen turnip in any other form than this. Japanese salt & pepper tofu: My FAVORITE dish ever. Any fried salt & pepper tofu always makes me happy. They use a creamy egg-like tofu and the outside is lightly crispy with amazing aromatics stir fried in. Steamed white rice on the side is perfect with this. Loved everything else my dinner buds picked and we were super full by the end!

I am going to be honest. I have lived a few blocks from China Dragon for 2 years and have never been brave enough to go in. Tonight we were desperate for some quick Chinese food so figured we would give it a shot and ordered delivery. It was AWESOME! We ordered: large Crab Rangoon - HUGE order and delicious Pot Stickers - really big compared to most and stuffed to the brim small chicken Almond Ding - really good. Small orders are big! small General Tso Chicken - really really good small Szechuan Chicken (extra spicey) - great We have enough food here to feed 2 of us for at least 3 meals. No joke. Everything got here steamy hot and very quickly. We did not get the 2 free egg rolls that everyone talked about it on yelp, however, on the menu there is a coupon for 6 free crab rangoon with the purchase of $20 or 10 free crab rangoon with the purchase of $30. Great Chinese Food! read more

This is seriously the worst Chinese food I've EVER had. I've lived all over he country, LA/New York/Houston/Denver and have never experienced this kind of food. I thought I'd give them a second try, as the first time was a huge disappointment. I simply got the orange tofu with sauce on side. This is what I got. The tofu was so dry it seems like they fry it and then fry it again for each order. See pics below. They put the sauce and broccoli in a rice container and was spilling/oozing everywhere. Nothing tastes clean or fresh, I can't imagine what their kitchen looks like. Never coming here again. Waste of money. read more

I order in from here all the time and it is your standard Chinese take out. It usually hits the spot, comes quickly, and is relatively affordable. Everytime I call and order I always think something will get messed up with my order/payment, etc...but it always works out. I'll continue to order from here on nights where I work late. The crab Rangoon is a little too crabby if you can believe that. I like it to be very creamy, but that is just my preference. I recommend this place for Chinese take out and delivery. read more
