    Beef Broccoli and Sweet and Sour Sauce Shrimp
    Ronald W.

    Traditional Cantonese like I grew up with. Beef with Broccoli. Beef ver silky flavor ok. Lots of shrimp for sweet and sour. Desperate so shrimp is not soggy. This a quick local strip mall Cantonese restaurant. Food was ready when promised. Only take out. Free egg roll with $20 dollar order and coupon from menu. You can order and grab the coupon when you get there. Egg roll outside crisp but insides were a little mushy. The menu had a lot of variety. In addition to Cantonese food they also have bubble teas, sushi, sashimi, and Tonkotsu Ramen. The parking lot is a little small on this triangular lot. This is a quick good Cantonese neighborhood restaurant.

    1. Egg Roll - A spring roll is placed on a paper towel next to a receipt from Great Dragon restaurant in Chicago, IL, showing food items and prices.

    1. Egg Roll Very oily!! Never ordering from here again ! Very disappointing after ordering from here for many years!! I'm guessing it's definitely under new management:/

    Dinner special portion. Chicken fried rice with Empress chicken. Sauce is provided on the side so it doesn't get soggy in travel.

    The other night was cold, rainy and dark. So.. I did what most people do, hit a bar and drank. Not having had dinner earlier in the night, I made a bad decision (like most booze-induced decisions) to grab take-out. It was near closing time and usually I would know better than to order. You never know whether they'll give it their all. In any case, I was Jones'ing FF Chinese. So, I ordered. It was one of few options available locally and Google reported that they would close at Midnight. The guy on the phone was nice about it. I'd asked if it was too late. He said no but to come on time. So I placed an order by phone and my drive-share got me there within minutes. #Uber The place was well lit and uber clean. A fresh scent was in the air as I entered. They offer a few booths for those wanting to dine-in. The drive home was short so my meal was still hot. I got an order of potstickers and a dinner combination plate of General Tso's chicken. The combo comes with chicken fried rice, a can of pop and an egg roll. I requested my rice spicy, so they did! That was a pleasant surprise. Fried rice is often prepared in advance of orders and kept throughout the day. (In most cases) At the time of order, they refresh the rice by steaming it. If you like your rice to be "fresher" you can request they use more water. This is what I've been told by owners of FF Chinese & Vietnamese restaurants. The food was better than expected. Their rating is 3 stars on Yelp, so I didn't expect much. However, ample portion and fresh taste with a reasonable cost. The potstickers were big. Bigger than what is usually received from a FF Chinese spot. Ball-up-your-fist big. Unless you got sausage fingers, not that big. General Tso's was okay. Spongey, battered chicken tossed in a thick sweet sauce. I had the leftovers the following day. I like to use a pan and cover. Putting a few tablespoons of hot water over the rice and then placing the entree next to it with a cover on top. This will re-hydrate the entire meal and then once warmed it can be mixed thoroughly. Yum! (You can do the same in the microwave. Adding a bit of hot water and placing a paper towel over the top. I prefer the pan method because the bits of rice will soak in the sauce of the entree and get crispy) On a whim, it can hit the spot. For sure.

    Double fried sweet and sour chicken - Fried chicken pieces coated in batter, served in a bowl, likely from a Chinese restaurant offering fried dishes.

    Ordered shrimp fried rice and sweet and sour chicken instead I got shrimp / hair fried rice and overly double fried chicken. First and last time eating here.

    Great Dragon serves excellent food. Their new japanese menu is a "must to try." Their sushis' are served fresh and made with careful preparation. I would suggest buy the DRAGON (tempura shrimp sushi) or the TRANSFORMER (smoked salmon sushi). It was made really really good: see attached photos. Their ramen on the other hand is also made good. Me and my friend have tried spicy beef. It is so tasty that we want to order it again once we come back and visit. Lastly, I would like to commend the japanese chef Jet very accomodating and open for customer's opinion with regards to the sushis he made.

    111. Pepper Steak with Onion (spicy) 180. Vegetable Lo Mein - Two takeout containers with Asian cuisine: one contains stir-fried noodles with vegetables, and the other has a saucy vegetable and meat dish with green peppers and onions.

    It was late night so I was kinda skeptical, but I'm happy I I chose this place :) good food

    North Center

    Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen is the underground emperor of late-night Chinese food in Chicago, the spot…read moreyour Uber driver, your bartender, and every chef in the city whispers about when they're truly hungry. Tucked into a no-frills corner on the South Side, Dai Yee's looks modest from the outside, but step in after 10 p.m. and it's pure magic. The room is packed with everybody--sneakerheads, nurses coming off shift, club kids, cops, and couples on first dates who somehow heard the legend. The vibe is chaotic in the best way: woks roaring, orders flying, and that unmistakable perfume of sizzling garlic, ginger, and chili filling the air. The food is straight-up stupid good. The Hong Kong-style salt & pepper smelts are crackly, spicy, and gone in 30 seconds. The beef chow fun has that elusive wok hei (breath of the wok) that most places only dream of, wide rice noodles slick with smoky char and tender flank steak. The black pepper beef tenderloin is velvet-soft, glossy, and aggressively peppery in a way that makes you order extra rice just to survive the happiness. The Singapore noodles are bright curry perfection, and the Mongolian beef is saucy, crispy-edged, and borderline addictive. Portions are straight out of the 90s--massive trays that could feed a family of four for under $15. Cash-only, BYOB, and everything comes out blazing hot in under ten minutes even when the place is slammed. The ladies running the show are legends: fast, funny, and they'll roast you (lovingly) if you can't handle the spice level you asked for. If you leave Chicago without hitting Dai Yee's at least once (preferably at 1 a.m. with a six-pack), you didn't really experience the city. This is real-deal, no-filter, soul-satisfying Chinese food that reminds you why we fall in love with restaurants in the first place. Dai Yee's isn't just a restaurant; it's a Chicago institution in the making. I'd wait in line in a blizzard for those smelts. See you at midnight.

Before that, I…read morechecked out a few eateries on the 4th floor of the Nordstrom building, but nothing really stood out, and honestly, none of them seemed very busy and the one restaurant Lao sze chuan was way too expensive! So I decided to try Shang Noodle, tucked away on a side street off Grand Ave., just steps from Michigan Ave. It's a little off the beaten path, down a short flight of stairs and a block down. As soon as I walked in, nearly every seat was taken. The place was lively, energetic, and a bit boisterous, but in a good way. I figured that was a good sign that the food was good! At first, the host wanted to seat me at the bar, which I politely declined. I noticed a small single table open, pointed it out, and he kindly let me take it. No tude! My server was efficient, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations since it was my first visit. She suggested the pot stickers over the hot and sour soup, and the beef Chow Fun instead of chicken. The pot stickers were a little small, but very tasty. I also asked for some sweet and sour sauce, which paired nicely with them. For my main dish, I ordered the char-grilled beef Chow Fun. The portion size was generous, and the char-grilled beef had great flavor. A few of the noodles were a bit firm, likely undercooked, but overall it was still enjoyable. What I appreciated the most about Shang Noodle was the value. $18 for the beef Chow Fun and $9 for the pot stickers felt reasonable considering the portion sizes and location. I'll definitely be back, though next time I may try lunch instead.

Even better, the remaining duck was transformed into soup and fried rice included with the order, a satisfying (and delicious) bonus that made the experience feel complete. The roasted pork was perfectly salty with a crisp exterior, yet not greasy. The lo mein came with a bowl of soup, and while the noodles were a bit different than I expected, the egg noodles were still flavorful and the beef was tender. One standout detail: the chili oil. Most spots keep it fairly mild, but this was hands down the hottest I've ever had, and seriously packed with heat.
