We ordered the Chinese Style Family Dinner for 10 (B), which included Crab Meat Fish Maw Soup, Shrimp & Scallops with Cashew Nuts, Double Lobster with Ginger & Onion, Whole Crispy Chicken, Salt & Pepper Shrimp with Shell On, Pea Tip in Broth, Salt & Pepper Japanese Tofu, Yang Chow Fried Rice with Preserved Meat, and Steamed Fresh Fish. We also added the Sweet & Sour Pork Chop. Every dish was a good size, and everyone at the table enjoyed the food. I've eaten at plenty of restaurants in Chinatown, and honestly, this place is better than many of them. The food is consistently good, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. This is definitely a great spot for big groups and family dinners. I'll definitely be back!

We always get a random assortment of dimsum, so you can't go wrong with anything. Also, pro tip, order the tea, it's only $2 for a whole kettle and pairs so well with the dimsum! The shrimp and chive pan fried square potsticker was our favorite tho! The steamed shrimp dumpling was immaculate as well! The eggrolls are so yummy. I didn't get a picture of the sesame balls but they were so hot, fresh and delicious. Everything seems homemade here down to the very dough and filling. The service is always nice here and the food is fresh! Come for a good time, chill ambiance, and great dimsum!!

Dim sum galore! Chicago daughter and I were looking for something interesting for breakfast/lunch -…read morebut didn't want brunch. We landed on dim sum and found ourselves at Furama. Setting the stage: It was 11:00 am or so on a Saturday. The bigger room up front was closed off for an event so we were directed to the back room. I'm not gonna lie: it gave off vintage high school cafeteria or church bingo vibes, with the vinyl floor and basic 1950s tables covered with layers of disposable paper/plastic table covers. We and 2 other groups sat at 3 of 20 or so tables. There was no wait for the goodies: carts immediately came our way before we even had our coats off. We chose 4-5 things from 4 different carts before waving off carts so we could settle in, have a sip of oolong tea and ready our chop sticks. The aging decor ("vintage") had me worried but the dim sum was good. In all, we had pork buns, sui mai, shrimp balls, chow fun, taro dumplings, cucumbers, eggs tarts, crab rangoons - all delicious! It was a lot but we wanted to taste so many things! I wouldn't call it gourmet quality but it was solid, standard dim sum. What elevated this to 4 stars was the service: super pleasant servers wheeling the carts around and keeping our water glasses filled. They were prompt and watching if we wanted another cart to come around. After that first rush, they were not pushy just showing their wares and then letting us enjoy them. Seems like a popular place because the tables were filled up by the time we left. It's upstairs (elevator if you want it). We found street parking but there is a private lot next door that you can get stamped for. Give it a try!

Whelp, this week, some friends and I were going to see a friends show nearby and I was like guys, I think I know a place... The restaurant is actually in a strip mall, just inside the entrance to a grocery store. Not sure if they're owned by the same people or not. You go inside the doors and then turn right before you enter the proper grocery store. It honestly doesn't look like much more than a room with 6-7 four tops. But service is great. They give you a menu with like literally 80 choices in it. They have everything from curries to bahn mi and everything in between. But the meal I used to get all the time was "#48" which is these thin white noodles with an almost crispy meat (I get beef but you can get pork or chicken too), fresh sliced veggies, a thin brothy sauce that I just poor on top, and an egg roll sliced into pieces. I know I didnt make it sound great, but listen, the combo all together is outta sight. Not heavy, but an ample portion. Not spicy, but just addictive. It's incredibly good. Only reason I'd give 4 stars is that one of my friends got a curry and wasn't in love with it. But my other friend got the 48 with pork and said it was excellent. In 15 years, that dish has not changed. So glad that the place is still there and that the food is still so, so tasty. Man, forget it. He ordered the wrong thing. Gotta bump it to 5.

One good thing about the place, they are open at 9am, was excited to get some pho for breakfast. The place isn't fancy. Layout is simple, typical Asian layout, typical Asian tables and chairs. :-) After looking at the menu, went with: - Banh Cong - Crispy Shrimp cake - Pho Tai Nam - rice noodles soup with beef brisket and beef flank Banh Cong - literally it's a cup cake with one crispy shrimp on top. It's very dense.. tried to break it up into four pieces, dipped it into the sauce, wrapped it in the lettuce that came with it. I also added the pickled peppers that was on the dining table. Unfortunately, I only had one before I gave up. Pho Tai Nam was decent, but lacked deep flavor that I was expecting. The beef flank was tough, chewy, and wasn't a fan of the fats on those meats. If I'm in town next, I'll try their rice plates and entrees from their menu. For now, two stars.

They have non-alcoholic options available as well. The sweet potato fries had a great texture from their light batter and delicious flavor. My friend and I both got the red braise noodles. I definitely recommend getting the combo beef and tendon. The tendon added a great texture unlike anything else. The flavor starts out almost like pot roast, but it gets richer and spicier as you eat. Makes for great leftovers! We shared the fried chicken, which was another great bite. I loved the seasoning, I think it was sour plum. I got the pineapple tart for dessert and my friend got the cheesecake. Both were really solid. The pineapple tart was super unique, definitely recommend. This was kind of a last minute thing for us, so I'd love to try table service instead of bar seating next time. Really nice looking restaurant.

Minyoli? Meh. I ventured into Minyoli this evening for the first time and was sincerely hoping that…read morethe food would be better than the verdicts rendered by several of my friends- which, unfortunately, ranged from mediocre to disappointing. Let's start on a positive note. The ambiance is inviting and the service was decent to good. The prices are on par with other places in the neighborhood. As for the food and drink, well everything was ok, with a couple of stand-outs. My friend and I started with shared appetizers of the talow wings, which were tender, nicely seasoned and accompanied by sweet potato fries that were also good. The other appetizer was the cucumber salad, which was plentiful and offered a nice balance between the pickling and the spice. We originally planned on another starter, but they were out of that. Glad we "settled" on the cucumber salad, since that was the best part of our meal. When it came time to order our main dishes, I selected one of the specials. No dice. They were out of that too. My friend ordered the noodles with beef and the server talked it up enough that I followed suit. I mentioned light-heartedly that I never usually order the same meal as the person I'm dining with and the server said: "You won't be disappointed." Only problem is...I was disappointed. When the entrée arrived, it looked good enough to eat. There was a lot of chili crisp on one side of the bowl, which I love, and about five slices of beef- all over a heap of noodles. I mixed it all together and was excited and ready for a pow of heat and flavor. Only problem is...there was neither. The chili crisp was less than mild and not at all crispy. The noodles were bland, and the meat was way over cooked, chewy and fattier than it should have been. As my friend perfectly put it, the whole bowl was very "one note." As if to add insult to injury, I had a non-alcoholic pineapple and ginger soda. I asked the server if this was very sugary and he said no. In fact, since the soda is made in-house the server told me that they could keep the sugar level down for me. He also said that the drink was very "ginger forward," which was great by me since I love spicy, spicy ginger. When the drink arrived, it was bland, just like the entrée. It wasn't too sweet, so that was good. But there was only a hint of ginger and a whisper of pineapple. The final coup came at the end of the meal. When the bill came, my friend and I both presented our cards to split the bill as we customarily do. That's when the server told us they only take one card. I get not splitting a bill by more than three or four cards per table, but two? That's preposterous! Look, it wasn't a big deal since my friend and I are like brothers. But what if someone happened to be on a first date or whatever? Yes, Venmo, Zelle, etc., can all happen. But not everyone has that luxury. It's awkward, unnecessary and, frankly, cheap of a restaurant that doesn't want to pay the swipe fees. When I politely mentioned to the server that taking only one card was a bit of a surprise, he told me that it was posted on the menu. He was also seemingly a bit annoyed that I brought it up...like I was being bratty or something. Ok. I'll take his word for it. But if it was on the menu, then it wasn't prominent enough to take note of as I was looking at all the meal options (my friend also didn't see it). I checked to see if the one card policy was posted on the front door when we were leaving, and it wasn't. Anyway, not the end of the world, but something you should be prepared for if you dine here. In the end, I sadly have to agree with my friends' assessments of Minyoli as a mediocre to disappointing dining experience.
