    Combo fried rice.
    Ayumi K.

    Late to the Five Spice party, but I'm glad to have arrived late than never. I'm usually not a fan of restaurants that serve the foods of various Asian countries under one roof, but Five Spice is an exception. No matter the order, all the food comes out delicious, hot, and fast. They have THE BEST pot stickers (if you like a thick wonton), and though tofu is not top of the list of my orders at other places, I somehow always end up ordering the mapo tofu every time I'm here. The servers are also super efficient and kind, and the overall vibe is very cozy and comfort foods and like I'm being taken care of by family members. The restaurant is also attached to a boba tea shop that also has a wide selection of drinkable yums, so there's literally something for everyone. Cost is on-par as well. Lastly, being able to support local is always a plus.

    It's so hard to find good old Chinese food. I just can't get enough of this place. All the basic Chinese items are delicious. Our favorite is the dynamite shrimp and any of the fried rices, especially the Malaysian one. I also love their Mongolian beef, we get it every time. We tried to get something non-basic like some eggplant dish and it wasn't very good. Service is fast and the restaurant ambiance is really nice. They have a back room that can seat like 20 people. We used it for my brother's birthday. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Malaysian Steak Fried Rice

    This is hands down the best Chinese food I've had in the area. The Malaysian steak fried rice was absolutely huge and delicious. The steak was tender and peppery and the rice had this delicious buttery flavor. I also got egg rolls and gyoza which were perfectly cooked and fresh. Will be ordering here again soon!

    Amazing gem in Roselle. The menu has many choices including gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, lactose free, and for us carnivores. Drink menu has sake, handcrafted beer, wines, cocktails, bottled beer, teasing, bubble teas and more. We started with egg rolls and pancake scallion bites. They provide four sauces! My favorite is the chili oil, but there is also ginger, Wasabi and sweet sauce. All made in house. Entrees were sesame peanut noodles and Mongolian beef. So good. The seafood options look great. Ramen and small plates too. Leave room for dessert, bubble waffles, machine, sesame balls and cake of the day. Supurb.

    Great food and service. The garlic shrimp were so delicious. The popcorn chicken app was great! The chow fun beef gravy dish was so so good. Everything was fresh, tasty and cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back. Great service too. Very attentive and kind.

    Came here for a quick dinner and I can tell they lowered the quantities on my 2 favorite dishes. Quality- same quality which is good. The food is still delicious. Quantity- the fish is about 2/3 the size of the one I got last month. It was a bit upsetting since the price is the same. Atmosphere- good, no change Service- good, no change

    Chow fun with beef

    Had such a taste for real Chinese food and this made me so happy! We used to go to Silver Lake restaurant and now they lived to this location, sharing the same parking lot. The space is brighter and more modern. Boba and some other dishes were added (ie ramen) but we will always go for the traditional! Great service with kind people. Food was terrific - we'll be back again... and again.

    I heard a lot about how this restaurant is a rebranding of Silver Lake Chinese food. They did have w a Silver Lake menu and one of the staffers said it's a rebranding of Silver Lake, so I guess it's true. It's significantly more upscale than Silver Lake but the people are just as nice. Personally, I think the food is better. I was happy my husband suggested we try it. I love the updated decor. Very chic. If you liked the old Silver Lake, this is a sure bet.

    Horchata Boba Specialty
    Gabby Z.

    Decided to check out this spot with some friends. Overall location is nice and traffic isn't crazy. By reading the reviews I assumed the earlier the better. We went around 4:00 and there was maybe one other couple in there. Could mean good or bad but reviews are high so I assumed just not a popular time. Got served right away with waters and asking if we wanted anything else to drink. Got a couple minutes to look over the menu and decided to order. Dynamite Shrimp- 5/10, they weren't giving that spicy mayo or any spice really. The texture was throwing me off because there was a crunch but then again a lot of sauce. Shrimp Fried Rice- 9/10, little on the fry side but with some soy sauce it was perfect. The shrimp were very tiny which was good and they were cooked well. Liked the fried egg in it as well I think there was more than usual. Mongolian Combo- (medium spice) 7/10, there were some good flavors there within the chicken, shrimp and beef which is what is included in the combo. Overall vegetables were cooked really well and sauce was nice. I feel like all of them were just missing something to make it pop really. Came with white rice which tasted like your good white rice 10/10. Garden Seasonal vegetables combo- (medium spice) 8/10, a little better than the mongolian had more of that flavor we were looking for. Vegetables were cooked very good and the little corn was amazing and just everything went well together. White rice also came with and was good Kungpao combo-(very spicy), 9/10, didn't try this one myself personally because it had peanuts in it but heard good things. The spice really made the dish better and the chicken, beef and shrimp all made it work. The vegetables in your usual kungpao all went well and seasoning was good. White rice 10/10. Horchata bubble tea-6/10 the horchata flavor was good i'd say a little watered down but the tapioca was throwing me off just not the usual i get. Nothing wrong with the actual bar though. Ver cute spot for pictures as well. Are kind of pricey so recommend going in groups so you can share portions because group of four went and we still had leftovers after sharing!

    Hippie Ramen

    Vegan ramen was full of flavor, added scallions and mushrooms. Also tried the veggie spring rolls as suggested by staff and am in love with them. The filling is delightful and no sauce is needed. But that sauce...it was like a little cup full of sunshine. Bright and fresh, I could have drank an entire glass of it! Only problem was my chopstick pack only had one chopstick (takeaway). A minor inconvenience for a beautiful meal. Definitely did not stop me from enjoying every last bite.

My wife, her mom, and I were in Chicago to remember my father-in-law's death anniversary, and my sister-in-law chose Chef Ping's, for our party of nine for a Wednesday lunch. Parking is plentiful and the dining area can seat a lot. We got seated at a large round table in the back room, with a large lazy susan (just need to remember to spin it very slowly). We ordered a lot, and the food came out slowly. There was plenty of leftovers for the local folks to have for future meal or two. 3 Shrimp Toast (6 pieces each) - $26.85 - greasy but good, with the shrimp paste being a little sweet (in a good way) Noodle in Black Bean Sauce ($12.50) - this is jja jang myeon, which two of us had the previous night. It was OK, not near the top of the best I've had. Ping's Noodle Soup ($15.50) - the other classic Chinese-Korean dish, this is jjampong, a dish I've had many times. I was the only one to eat it, so ended up being my main dish. It was good, with thick noodles...just wish it had more seafood. Salt & Pepper Smelt ($16.90) - not sure if always available, but this was excellent...my favorite dish and one that I finished once I realized that everybody had their fill. It really depends on the quality of the smelt, which was excellent in this case. It was lightly battered, and carefully deep fried. Other dishes enjoyed by others: 2 Salt & Pepper Prawns - $35.90 - large head-on shell-on prawns fire wokked. Salt & Pepper Tofu ($11.50) - for the vegetarians Chicken Skewers (4) - $8.75 - tender and shareable Walnut Shrimp ($19.90) - mayo with shrimp Young Chow Fried Rice ($12.50) - fried rice is a necessity for our group Mongolian Beef ($17.50) - a classic 2 Sesame Ball (4) - $7 - a great way to finish a meal. 18% tip was automatically added, and service was OK throughout. Our water was kept refilled, and I think hot water was as well. It was a good meal and opportunity to get back together

    We've eaten here many times in the past and had a good experience. This visit was poor at best!…read morePlease note: (ALL PICTURES ARE FROM MY PREVIOUS VISITS NOT TO THIS VISIT) Unfortunately this visit is going to be the last time. Both the service and quality of food has gone way down from what they were famous for. The waitress spilled my tea, also dipped her finger in my tea, had no apology or offer to exchange it with a fresh cup. I had to ask her for a fresh cup of tea. Then the other server that brought our entrees spilled my husbands tea and again no offering to getting a fresh cup. We had to ask AGAIN for a fresh cup! While the portions were generous, the quality of all the food has gone way down. The special family recipe of thier shrimp dish Gan Pong is nothing but fried shrimp with dried chili peppers and no flavor. The Hunan spicy beef and chicken appeared to be all globs and sticky because of excessive and over use of corn starch used during the cooking process. This dish didn't have any unique flavor that one would expect. Previously we had experienced a difference in the food, taste and quality and that's what kept us returning. Sadly, after this experience I wouldn't recommend it to anyone or come back! I'd rather stick with Yu's Mandarin than drive to this place! Quality always wins over quantity in my books!

    The family and I have been coming to this hot pot place for years. Everyone loves hot pot,…read moreespecially during cold weather, and my kids in particular have a huge appetite for it. We usually come here when the cravings hit or to celebrate family occasions. The prices are very reasonable and generally under $30 per person. We were last here about a week ago and it was $28 per adult, while kids were $14 (half-priced). I did notice prices increased by about $1 over the past year, but that's expected. Another thing I really appreciate is how easy it is to dine here. We've come on a Saturday night for dinner without a reservation and were able to walk right in. Most of the time, walk-ins aren't an issue, which is really nice. A while back, they used to have you mark hotpot ingredients on a paper menu and staff would bring them to your table. Over the past couple of years, they've switched to an ingredient bar at the back of the restaurant where you can grab your own noodles, vegetables, seafood, and sauces. There are empty plates, bowls, and saucers available, making it easy to customize your spread. The only items you still need to order verbally are the hot pot meats, which makes the overall experience much more efficient and you can get to cooking quickly! Here's my favorite way to make a dipping sauce for hotpot: garlic + basic soy sauce / house sauce, a pinch of spice sauce + top with a lot of green onions cuttings. And there you have it! The ingredient selection is decent including several types of noodles like udon, glass noodles, and ramen. They have my favorite vegetables like watercress and bok choy as well as some of my favorites proteins: shrimp, mussels, quail eggs, fish cakes, cubes and balls. There is a peanut sauce available at the sauce bar, but I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone with food allergies or strict dietary restrictions, as cross-contamination could easily happen with the shared setup. One of our favorite appetizer items -- which is free with the AYCE and not at the ingredient bar -- is the fried buns with condensed milk. They're listed on the menu and are absolutely delicious. We usually order multiple rounds as our kids love them, and so do I. When it comes to drinks, everything is ordered à la carte. They offer soft drinks, alcohol, and smoothies. I ordered a mango and pineapple smoothie for $7, which was quite sizable and very refreshing. You can also order a single-fruit smoothie for $6. For broth options, there are only two choices: a bone broth or a spicy broth. If you have kids, I recommend the non-spicy option. The broth can get a little fatty after cooking all the ingredients in it and is enough for flavor. We came as a family of 6 and opted not to squeeze into one booth. We asked to sit at 2 adjacent hybrid booth tables and requested an additional hot pot for the 2nd table, and they were very accommodating. One of the servers also speaks Cantonese, which was very helpful for our family. One small piece of feedback for the owners: for places like this, it would be great to have disposable gloves available at the ingredient bar. I always appreciate seeing that extra level of consideration for cleanliness. Lastly, just a heads-up that gratuity is automatically added to the check for parties of two or more. Make sure to review your bill before adding an extra tip -- unless, of course, you want to tip more. Overall, this is one of our family's favorite places for hot pot when we want a no-fuss, no-cleanup meal. It's a solid experience that doesn't break the bank, especially for large families. The fact that they focus solely on hot pot -- without additional barbecue meats or grills -- helps keep it surprisingly affordable. The restaurant is also connected to a Mexican bar so your receipt is gonna ring out with that place as a vendor and this restaurant is next to "Noodle Delight" (likely same owners?) if you're looking for authentic Chinese food in a more traditional setting. We've been to that place as well and it was great, but that would be another separate review :)
