Pricey. No duck in the duck fried rice. Disappointing. Service was slow. Very tight tables

Duck fried rice, every time. How have I not raved about Chef's Asian masterpiece? First off this place is super cool. The decor is interesting and brightly colored and each room has a bit of a different vibe. There's also a neat bar in the middle. For food we love the aforementioned fried rice with the runny duck egg, moo shu, bbq pork baos, chongqing chicken, Dan Dan slap noodles (natch) and those delicious green beans! We usually end up ordering a bunch since we've lived in the neighborhood for decades. Easy West Loop walk home leftovers for the win. Yes chef! read more

Lot of the food missed for me. The only thing I really enjoyed a lot was the goat slap noodles. The chewy texture of the noodles and flavor was good, but offered barely any meat. A couple callouts on the mapo tofu, why does it not come with rice? Also the white rice we did have to buy as a side comes in a small bowl, making it difficult to scoop. The other mention is the overwhelming amount of peppercorn, taking away from the flavor and instead numbing the mouth. The green beans were not worth it and the chocolate sesame dessert was really disappointing to share. I don't recall much vanilla soft serve or chocolate shaved ice, if at all. The sesame flavor was really distracting away from the chocolate chunks and wasn't good overall. The service was weird with us not getting our rice right away with the green beans. We also had to ask about the noodles and it came out very late as we were almost done eating. read more

I had heard great things but this meal was incredible!! Brought my family here for dinner while they were visiting and everyone loved it. We sat outside on a beautiful day and I definitely recommend the outdoor if it's nice out! The inside seemed big and a nice vibe for the winter. Service was good, I liked that they paced out the dishes for us. It really made the experience great! We shared everything. Loved the wings, the green beans, and I think all of our favorites was the duck fried rice! Soooo good and flavorful. The goat slap noodles and beef and broccoli were great too. Everything was super unique from traditional Chinese and nothing was too spicy! Definitely trust the experts. The wabbit season cocktail was good but I think I'd get another drink next time. Can't wait to come back! read more

First dinner in Chicago!! I loved the ambience here. The food was good. I really loved the Jiaozi... so flavorful. The crab rangoons are an absolute miss. The filling to wrapper ratio is so low and it's just dry. I did like added almonds though, so maybe if they just make the crust smaller and thinner and load up on the filling this would be a hit. The duck fried rice was incredible, I could not stop eating it. We also got the Hongshao Rou per the server's recommendation and my friend's love of pork. Frankly, I am not the biggest pork eater... I just don't love the texture of the meat and it can taste greasy to me, but the pork was braised very well and it was fun to make little wraps. I would say it was a little on the pricier side (comparing to like a Din Tai Fung), but overall a great meal...I walked out happy. read more

Duck Duck Goat lived up to all the hype and everything I have ever heard about it. One of the best, flavorful meals I have had in a long time. I was able to get a last minute reservation for me and my friends, and we were even able to sit inside. The teapot "group" drink was hard to pour, but that was truly my only complaint of the night. The potstickers melted in your mouth and the scallion pancakes were so unique. We could not get enough! The dan dan noodles were our other favorite. The inside is so cute, intimate, and dark, yet lively and fun at the same time. The perfect restaurant for any occasion! read more

I thought I was getting actual Asian food but it's Asian inspired. Don't get me wrong, it was good but not great and definitely didn't have the authentic Asian flavors I expected. The service was good. I didn't like the fact that my server selected a higher tip. That was my task to complete, not hers. I was actually going to give a higher tip but when I got the machine back and saw that the tip amount was selected for me I was disappointed. The vibe was super casual which I appreciated after a long day of travel. However, I will say that it was loud inside. I'm glad I got to try this place out though. read more

We made reservations for brunch on a Sunday. This place was packed when we arrived and we were still able to get seated right away. It's crazy it's completely died down by the time we were finished with our meal. The service was great, the interior decor was beautiful and the staff was friendly. The dim sum offered for brunch was good as well but pricey. Especially since some dishes were only offered with two pieces. If you have a party of three then you're kind of forced into buying two of the same dishes. Which is strange. Traditionally most dim sum dishes have three pieces. Rarely see 2 pieces being offered especially for double the price. We ordered their Jiaozi, Char Sui Bao, crab Rangoon, chilly chilli noodles, and their Xiang long Bao. All were great. The chilly chilli noodles is served cold and was very flavorful. The Xiang Kong Bao was amazing. The potstickers was probably my favorite dish and it's mess up char Sui Bao. We were going to order wings but they had ran out I guess by 12pm on a Sunday. I was also going to order fried rice but it wasn't offered for brunch. Overall despite the priciness of the menu, we still enjoyed our food and the service. I obviously knew what I was getting myself into by visiting this place, and can definitely see myself returning in the future. read more

Duck Duck Goat is absolutely the spot for a cute night out if you love family style eating (which I do). The ambiance is perfect for a date night or girls night out. Most of the food items were delicious, but there were a couple I wasn't impressed with. Also be warned that the specials sell out fast and we went to eat at 6pm, two of the items we wanted were no longer available which was a bummer. But our server Mark made up for everything and helped us through it all! read more

AMAZING as always! I came in for dinner recently and in addition to the Jiaozi and Crab Rangoon, which I would never ever visit and NOT get, I tried the duck fried rice for the first time and it was phenomenal. Also loved my dirty martini. Great service, amazing vibes, best Chinese food I've ever had! read more

This was my favorite stop at my visit to Chicago earlier this month! Duck Duck Goat checks all the boxes from gorgeous interior and sultry ambiance offering different looks for each room, to mouth-watering dishes and stunning cocktails. We had the Dan Dan Slap Noodles, Crab Rangoon and Xiao Long Bao that had us wishing we came hungrier to try more dishes. The chef offers a new, fun twist to Chinese favorites; the pineapple and mascarpone-almond filling in the Crab Rangoon was excellent! Our wonderful server recommended the Dan Dan Slap Noodles, it being his favorite dish, and it did not disappoint! The Chai'd and True cocktail had me rethinking my opinions on bourbon it was so delightful. Come hungry! read more

Honestly, not very good. I was incredibly disappointed by this restaurant. I thought the vibes of the restaurant were very nice, and the staff were friendly, but the food was severely underwhelming. The price, I'd argue, is a bit unreasonable for 4 dumplings/gyoza, just for them to be mid at best. Of all the times we selected, the biggest let down was the spicy sticky wings/mooshu, and the best was probably the soup dumplings. I REALLY wanted to enjoy this restaurant, but maybe my flavor pallet just didn't match the vibe of this restaurant. read more

Duck Duck Goat was AMAZING!!!!!! It can be hard to get a reservation but it was 100% worth the effort. We had a group of three and split 5 or 6 things which was more than enough food. My favorite was the mushroom dumplings and the spring rolls. We also got a shrimp stir fry and duck fried rice. Everything we got was really really good, you can't go wrong ordering. I loved that they had vegetarian options & our server did a great job explaining the menu. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

I had a lovely dinner here on a first date. We had a 4:30 reservation because that was the only time available, yet we really wanted to try this place. Gorgeous decor, and excellent service. Everything was family style, which we enjoyed. We started with the jiaozi and spring rolls, then had the duck fried rice, which we'd read had great reviews. Everything was delicious! Make a reservation early because this place was absolutely packed with people waiting outside by the time we left. read more

This was the best meal I've had in a while. We had Xi'an Goat Slab Noodles, Jiaozi (potstickers), duck fried rice, and blueberry sorbet. Everything was a 10/10. The potstickers were so good, we almost placed a second order. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the goat was tender and seasoned well. Last was the sorbet, which was a nice treat at the end of our dinner. This is the perfect date night spot for a foodie couple. If you're looking for Chinese food in Fulton Market, come here. You won't be disappointed. read more

We came here around 4:30pm on a Saturday and were seated right away at a table. Our waiter was really friendly and gave us recommendations. We ordered two dim sum and two entrees like he recommended for two people to share. We started off with the Jiaozi and wow, they were so delicious and definitely my favorite dish that we ordered. Next, my bf wanted to get something with duck/goat in it (I've never tried duck or goat so I was a bit hesitant). He decided to get the duck and goat spring rolls, and I tried a tiny bite with it dipped in the pineapple jam/sauce. The sauce was really good, but I still don't know how I feel about goat or duck lol. For entrees, we got the pork belly (hongshao rou) and they serve it with assorted pickled veggies plus mandarin pancakes. The pork belly was soo tender. We also got the dan dan slap noodles. I love that we were able to watch them through the window making the noodles by hand. Our waiter gave us some cookies for free when he brought us our check! I definitely want to come back for the jiaozi read more

Delicious and tasty foods with tons of flavor. We loved the green beans and wings. Ambiance was dim lit, music playing, regular expected loud for a trendy fusion spot and good service. Waiters asked if we knew how to eat the dumplings and that's was thoughtful because we didn't. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a free ice cream dessert that was maybe black cherry with a yummy macadamia cookie! read more

I loved Girl & the Goat so I had high expectations for this one, but it didn't hit the same. Vibes were nice. Dim lighting with cool Chinese decor, but more casual and louder than I expected for a place that looks this nice. Still a fun energy though. Service was great. Super friendly, consistent water refills, and I liked how they explained each dish when bringing it out. 8.5/10. Food was kinda hit or miss and a little overhyped tbh. The Chai'd and True cocktail was strong but smooth and sweet. 8.5/10. The Xi'an goat slap noodles were really good. Thick, chewy, perfectly al dente, just a little oily. 8/10. The grilled beef & broccoli was my favorite. Broccoli had the perfect texture, beef felt like actual steak, and the sauce was super unique. 8.5/10. Everything else was more mid. Crab Rangoon had a citrus flavor I didn't love. 6.5/10. Spring rolls were crispy and meaty but the filling itself wasn't great. 6.5/10. Chongqing chicken was just okay, basically popcorn chicken with Sichuan flavor. 6/10. The crispy banana dumplings were the best way to end the meal. Tasted like a peach banana cobbler inside a crispy wonton shell. 9/10. Overall, a fun and popular spot, but I expected more flavor-wise. read more

I really wanted to love Duck Duck Goat as it was recommended by a friend. The atmosphere was great and the drinks were good. A few dishes, like the Duck Fried Rice, Pork Belly, and Beef Noodle Soup, were actually pretty solid. But the rest of the night was just so frustrating that I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The Jiaozi were the first big letdown. The menu said they were beef short rib and bone marrow, but they didn't taste like that at all. The filling was just super mushy and the flavor was just weird. The manager and the food runner were nice when we mentioned it, but our actual server was a disaster. When we tried the Goat Noodles, all we could taste was cumin. It was so overwhelming that it covered up everything else. We couldn't even tell if there was actually any goat shoulder in there. When we told our waiter, she couldn't care less. She got totally defensive, wouldn't even listen to us, and just said, "Oh, I told you when you ordered that the dish is cumin forward" and walked away. It got worse when the bill came. She was holding on to the payment machine so hard and almost yanked it right out of my friend's hand. She was staring at it to see what we were tipping. It was so awkward and incredibly rude. No thank you, no nothing. She just grabbed it and left. The place has potential, but they really need to fix the food and retrain the staff. A cool vibe doesn't make up for bad food and awful service. read more

If you're looking for authentic Chinese food, or if you're very familiar with Chinese cuisine, I would lower your expectations here. We tried one of their recommended dishes, the Wagyu potstickers. The dumpling wrappers weren't chewy enough and lacked that nice, springy bite. The texture made me wonder if they were made with the wrong type of flour. The Wagyu filling didn't have the right texture either. The ingredients may be fresh and high-quality, but the dish just didn't come together. The other dishes we tried didn't meet our expectations either. They were too salty, and honestly, none of the flavors tasted quite right to us. But the Wagyu potstickers were the biggest disappointment. For a recommended dish at this price point, they definitely need some serious improvement to live up to both the price and the expectations they set. Every time I think about giving this place a second chance, I remember those dumplings and hesitate. If you're looking for Americanized Asian food or Asian fusion, you may have a better experience here. But even as Asian fusion, I think you can find better food at some Chinese-American chain restaurants for a much lower price. And to be clear, I actually like Asian fusion and have had some great experiences at Asian fusion restaurants elsewhere. No complaints about the service or ambiance. The dishes are creative and look delicious. I just wish the flavors lived up to the presentation. read more

December 2022 (9.3/10): The vibe at this place is really cute and honestly would be a great place for a bunch of people. I think overall out of the dishes we got, I was very happy with the quality. The xiao long bao were incredible and the broth inside was delicious. The duck fried rice was also incredible as the duck tasted great, but was salty. Scallion pancakes were fine. Both cocktails were also yummy! We were sad we didn't get the pitcher of the stranger things drink. The dessert we got was also so flavorful and creamy. February 2026 (8.2/10): Finally came back and while I really still do love this place, I'm dropping the score. This time I tried the green beans and the beef dumplings and both of those dishes are lovely, potentially even the best two dishes served. However, they are fully just small appetizers. The mapo tofu is edible, but it's not something I'd order again here. The duck fried rice is still absurdly salty, but this time I've had a lot more duck and know what it tastes like to know it shouldn't be THAT salty. read more

We came and it was a wait but they were so kind in getting us to our table to giving us complimentary shishito peppers and bubbles. Thank you! Their food was absolutely amazing. Got their glass noodles and it was so much flavors and filled with mushroom and pineapple which was unique. Our waitress was so nice and gave us the recommendation for a lychee martini which was good but really wished they would have added a lychee in it. The shishito peppers were nice and hot and crunchy. The veggie spring rolls was our favorite, it was long and savory. We also had their shrimp dish and tofu which both were so good. Loved how their dishes were filled with so much flavors and very crunchy. The banana dumplings were absolutely so good, would definitely recommend getting it. A Carmel swirl ice cream with a banana filling in the dumplings but it was more like a crab rangroon. The ambiance inside was so nicely decorated and much bigger than you see from outside. There's like three rooms one towards the front. You can also sit at the bar area as well. read more

Our server was very helpful in providing suggestions for us and made sure to check for food allergies. We ordered the (jiaozi) short rib dumplings, duck & goat spring roll and the goat slap noodles. Our favorite was the dumpling as it was crispy on the outside, yet so soft on the inside. read more

I was in on Monday for Restaurant Week and lowkey for the past eight years that I've been in Chicago, Duck Duck Goat has ALWAYS been on my list. So, was happy to finally make landfall. The inside of the restaurant is quite cool, with very moody lighting, which, if you're familiar with any of my other work here, you know I adore. Decor is chic and very Fulton Market, but not in a cheugy way. Service was constant, this staff is trained all the way up, like we were taken care of! New plating was coming out routinely, water was constantly topped, and always being checked in on. Did not go unnoticed. The restaurant week menu itself offered quite a bit of variety, though we ventured outside of its bounds into the realm of à la carte. The RW deal was $60 and was totally prix-fix, so you don't really get to choose what comes out, which was fine because it was all excellent. What was brought out was pork sichuan jiaozi, (which was a pork potsticker, very meaty but in a good way), shengjian bao (pork baos), duck & goat spring rolls, which were not overly ducky nor goaty but a good combination of the two. Green beans came out next, which were seasoned with black bean garlic sauce, fried shallots, and cashews (my second favorite dish of the evening). The final entree as part of the deal was beef slap noodles, which were made with a very good short rib ragu and super chewy noodles! Dessert was citrus tea baobing, which essentially was shaved ice, ice cream, and condensed milk - I liked it, but would not go out of my way to order it, like it was fine. Not on the RW menu, we ordered the scallion pancakes, duck fried rice (which came with a duck egg!), and the chilly chili noodles (which imo were the best thing I ate that night). The fried rice was memorable, and the scallion pancakes were like buttery - but I don't think I'd order them again. Good but not crazy. At the end of the meal, the sodium and MSG kinda got to me, so drink lots of water, but very good otherwise. read more

Made a reservation to celebrate an anniversary and asked for a peking duck to be reserved for us. That's what we went in to try. I got there a little early but they were very accommodating and offered us to wait at the bar until our table was ready. It was ready within 5 minutes. We took our drinks and sat. Our server was so lovely and explained everything well. She mentioned they had a restaurant week menu but that we also had a duck reserved. We ordered fried rice, chilly chili noodles and veg egg rolls. Everything was so delicious. The duck skin was nice and crispy but the meat was so tender. The chilly chili noodles were just the right amount of spice and the eggroll filling was amazing. I will definitely be back as it's such a beautiful and delicious restaurant. read more

I've always enjoyed Chinese food in unassuming hole-in-the-wall restaurants, so I never thought to visit Duck Duck Goat until recently. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and service was terrific as well. I came with a group of seven and we shared the crab rangoon, jiaozi, xiao long bao, duck fried rice, Xi'an goat slap noodles, mapo doufu, grilled beef and broccoli, and Chongqing chicken. Every dish was either okay or too salty for me, and I just did not like the xiao long bao. Maybe it was my fault for ordering it, but I just did not love the gamey taste of the filling. I think if I had to pick favorites, it would be the goat slap noodles and jiaozi. I really enjoyed the chewy texture of the noodles but the sauce was on the saltier side. In short, Duck Duck Goat is pricey Chinese-American food with terrific ambiance suitable only for West Loop real estate, but if you are looking for good Chinese food without the drama and flair, I'd probably look elsewhere. read more

Eclectic fusion restaurant that transports you somewhere like Shanghai. Each room has its own theme and color scheme, making you feel like you've stepped onto the set of an 80s Chinese movie. Service was great, attentive and friendly, though I found the food a bit underwhelming - probably because I came in with very high expectations as a huge fan of Girl & the Goat. This review focuses on their brunch options only. Crab Rangoon: 6/10 Standard rangoons, similar to what you'd get at Panda Express. The mango chutney-style sauce on the side was a nice touch, but the filling lacked crab and felt mostly like a cream cheese puff pastry. Duck and Goat Egg Rolls: 7.5/10 I really liked this. The mustard sauce and mango chutney paired nicely, though they were a bit small and didn't have a lot of filling. Cucumber: 8/10 Vinegary, slightly spicy, and flavourful. The cucumbers were cut unevenly, but the dish was refreshing and a nice palate cleanser between heavier dishes. Xiao Long Bao: 6/10 A bit bland. Nothing particularly memorable here. Oxtail Dumplings: 9/10 My favorite dish of the brunch. Generous filling and packed with flavor - definitely a highlight for me. Pork Fried Rice: 7.5/10 A bit overwhelming. More like an omelette with rice rolled in, topped with pickled onions, fried shallots, jalapenos, and other veggies. The rice and egg alone would have been fine and the extra toppings felt like too much and distracted from the dish. Hong Kong French Toast: 6/10 Decent, but I didn't love that peanut butter was sandwiched between the toast. Might be someone else's favourite, but not my cup of tea. read more

As an avid Stephanie Izard fan, Duck Duck Goat has been on my Chicago must-try list for a long time! Finally my schedule, bank account, and the weather all lined up to try brunch at this West Loop spot. Like everywhere else at Fulton Market, be prepared for parking to be what parking is going to be here! There are some paid street spots, I also think there is a garage somewhere, and it is noted that Duck Duck Goat does not offer valet. The restaurant is in a super chic corner spot in Fulton Market, with a very picturesque little patio dining space out front. I had a reservation and arrived just a couple minutes early; we were greeted as soon as we walked in and taken to a table without any wait. I absolutely love the inside of this restaurant. Our table was a half booth/half chair two-top in the front window. There is so much rich color and decoration, and it really feels pretty intimate - I think this is a great date spot. The brunch menu has some amazing food options, and the service was very friendly but not overbearing. We started with an order of the crab rangoon to share between both of us, and then the pork fried rice omelette and the bacon and egg moo shu as brunch entrees. This is a dim sum restaurant and the plates are more of a style to be small bites and/or shared plates, and portion size definitely reflects such! Also because of this style, the dishes came out as they were ready, not all together "as entrees". The crab rangoons were incredible - the mascarpone filling is tart and bright to counter the briny crab and the pineapple sweet and sour is incredibly craveable. I will dream about this omelette for the rest of my life. The richness of the pork and the savoryness of the fried rice paired with fluffy egg, piled high with a texture bomb of accoutrements like crispy fried onions, (fresno?) chilis, and picked red onions. This is one of the best bites in the city. The moo shu had perfectly made sunny side up eggs with the richest egg yolks. All the veggies were cooked perfect, I loved the lotus root in the veggie mix. I love that our reservation wasn't rushed, and the service was really nice. We both said before even finishing our brunch that we wanted to come back and try dinner. Also a super cute touch, we were given complimentary little almond cookies after we were done. Thank you so much, Duck Duck Goat, for a wonderful brunch date! We will see you soon for dinner! read more

Ohhhh Stephanie Izard did the dang thang! A friend and I dined in for weekend brunch and we both loved it. We opted for lunch food vs breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed the options offered. The space itself has multiple rooms and I liked how each room is designed differently. Service throughout was great and timed out well. I highly recommend making a reservation if you know you're going here. By 12pm the place was jam paaaaacked! During our time here everything came out spaced out at perfect intervals. Once we were almost done with 1 dish, the next 1 was being brought over. For my drink I tried the Jade fox (Non alcoholic). It was tasty, light, and very refreshing. For food we shared 5 dishes: Jiaozi (my favorite - flavorful, texture was great and everything was well balanced), Xiao Long Bao (this was OK - overall delicious but some bites were super salty while other bites lacked flavor), Duck & Goat Spring Rolls (2nd favorite - I could eat this all day! The meat is tender and flavorful while the fried egg roll itself is crispy. Very delicious), Pickled Cucumber Salad (Just OK, pretty standard cucumber salad, I wouldn't order this again but I'm glad I tried it), and the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup (the beef is tender, moist and spot on with flavors, broth was a little too salty but flavor was still very good. I enjoyed all the components of this dish, the different textures which felt like a story being told while eating). read more

I've visited this establishment on a few occasions, all very memorable experiences. In great company is what matters most. High quality food , exceptional service in a trendy but relaxed environment. Was another great experience tonight. It was super busy and I was a walk-in, so a pretty long wait for a reservation. Bar seating is first come first serve and was open. It's fun sitting at the bar anyway, IMO. The service is great and I felt very well cared for. I started with the Pickled Cucumber Salad, which was excellent. Bit of sesame on that salad. Then the Jiaozi, which comes in 4 pcs. The beef short rib and bone marrow combo is excellent with the black vinegar- great dim sum. I had 2 of the Fever Tree Ginger Beers, which is Bold & Spicy as the bottle indicates. Delicious. Great for the Occasion. The Goat Slap Noodles with goat shoulder, Sichuan peppercorn and finger hot chili , delicious! Some kick on this dish but the homemade noodles are exceptional and I recommend it really. It's a pretty cool restaurant, the design and style. Definitely get in to see them if you can and if it's too busy , sit at the bar. Or at least try. Exceptional service all around. There are private lots to park located around , valet across the street also. Or ride share, also works. Bus runs on Halsted. Enjoy. read more

It was difficult to get a Saturday evening dinner reservation at the best Chinese restaurant in Chicago. Fortunately there was a cancellation and we were able to get a table. Unfortunately, the Chinese food in Florida isn't authentic so this was a real treat. Ray was our waiter and he happily put aside of Peking Duck for us. The restaurant was loud, I felt like I was in China. The kitchen was open & I was able to watch the chef snap the noodles. The atmosphere was authentic. We started with dim sum. We each enjoyed a duck and goat spring roll with hot mustard & pineapple sweet-and-sour; it was perfect!!! We had the Jiaozi beef short rib & bone marrow potstickers that melted in my mouth. The Peking just took 15 minutes to slice and serve. It was served with Mandarin pancakes, pickles, and garnishes. The duck was amazing, the skin was crispy, and the meat was sweet and melted in our mouth. The complementary almond butter cookie with the perfect ending to a fabulous memorable meal. Dinner was pricey without drinks with tax and tip. It was $200, but it was worth it a delicious splurge. read more

The food here was very very good! As a vegetarian, I absolutely loved the options and everything was super flavorful.

An amazing restaurant in an amazing location, serving amazing food with amazing service. From the moment we walked in the door, we were treated to delightful service and wonderful food. We arrived just prior to the opening of the restaurant, so we were offered a seat at the bar. Not only did my daughter enjoy a wonderful cocktail, but the bartender took time to explain the ingredients and preparation. Once the restaurant opened, we were quickly seated and took time to review the full menu. We started our adventure with an order of crab Rangoon and spring rolls. Both of these appetizers were uniquely prepared, looking nothing like similar named dishes in other Asian restaurants. It was clear that this was gonna be a great meal. For the main course, we ordered a selection of noodle dishes and stir fries. They were all amazing. I really don't think that you can order a bad entree. The dining room was comfortable and allowed for conversation at the table. The service was top notch. If you're in Chicago, this restaurant is a must stop for you. I know the next time we're in Chicago, we will be stopping back to try all the dishes we couldn't try on this visit. read more

We made Dim Sum reservations for a Saturday at 12:30. The place was very cute, and the service was friendly and efficient. Parking, however, was an issue. We drove around for quite a while trying to find a spot. Upon being seated, they brought us two glasses of Prosecco to celebrate our anniversary. Nice touch. We started with the Crab Rangoon - OMG, best we have ever had! There was lots of filling and they were perfectly crispy and huge. We then had the Chilly Chili Noodles. It was a generous portion of tender noodles and just the right amount of chili oil. We were very happy that they were not too spicy. They had more of chili pepper taste, and not heat. Everyone around us had the wings, so we ordered them too. They were great. The Xi'an Crispy potatoes were indeed crispy, but there was something in the spice mix (probably 5 spice seasoning) that we just didn't like at all. The best dish of the day was the Jiaozi - the beef short rib potstickers. The dough was so delicate and the filling was sublime. Next time we are in Chicago, we'll go back to try dinner. read more
